What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu, RNYers?

So glad that things are healing well.

The school looks awesome JB!! Weekend is here- I say that like I have plans. I'll probably take the kids out to dinner, and I need to go to bj's. Tomorrow is hubby's b-day, but he's out of town. If I can think of something I'll get him something. But now I'm coming up with nill. I've worked my weight back to my current comfort zone. I'm glad because I feel like a horrible fraud when I'm out of my comfort zone.

qotd: I drive a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, red. It was pre owned, but only has 3K miles on it. Her name is vroom, vroom and she has 36k miles. I'll keep her until my oldest has his license (about 2.5 years). Then we'll share or I'll get something else.

195.5 today, 23 months out

m1: scrambled egg/egg beater w/cheese, 2.4 oz ham

m2: Greek yogurt, granola and berries

m3: 3 chicken wings with 1/3c corn

m4: ?? Likely dinner out

Vroom Vroom! Perfect name! COngrats on getting your weight back into your comfort zone!

I know exactly what you mean by comfort zone and fraud.... I lost a few this week, so feeling better about where I am at. Not my lowest, but that's OK, at least out of my 'oh, crap' zone :)

Good morning JB. The school looks great! I had a pretty decent birthday. Work was busy, and it went by quickly. We went to my inlaws last night for dinner and cake, and I admit to having a small piece of cake. I had planned to skip it all together, but my MIL had bought a cake with a LEMON filling. Seriously? How did she know my weakness? Ugh, but I had a small piece from the center of the cake so that I had less frosting. It was delicious. Good thing was that I just had a bit of pulled pork and a few raw veggies for dinner, so overall it wasn't that bad.

I have the most horrendous headache this morning. It's sinuses. We've had rain and storms the last few days and, that mixed with my allergies are just killing me.

In Bugsy news, I found a tick on his ear last night right before I was going to bed. I realized that I had forgotten to apply his flea and tick stuff, and it was 8 days late. I dreaded having to get the stupid tick off, since I've never had to deal with that before, so right before I went to bed I applied his tick medicine and put him in his pen with the intention of dealing with it this morning. Well, there was no tick there this morning, and now I've gotta find that sucker in my house before it gets one of the cats. I don't usually use flea and tick stuff on my cats because they don't go outside, but I guess I'll have to pick some up for all three of them tonight to make sure that they are safe too. I hate bugs!

I'm so excited, we have someone coming out to quote us on completing the fencing for our yard. My yard is large, and only fenced on the sides. I've been strugglign with this puppy and putting him out. Potty training is not complete, and he pees on his puppy pad regularly. I really want the ability to just let him out without worry about him running off, and having to tether him. So this Thursday a guy from Lowes is going to come for a quote. We have measurements, and have priced out the materials. It should cost us about $450ish in materials to do it ourselves, so if they come back at $700 or less, I'm totally going to pay to have it done. If not, my brother has said he'd help me install it. I have access to 2 post hole diggers, so first weekend in May I'll be getting a fence, one way or another. About 150 feet of fencing needs to be done. That's no more than 20 posts, including the gates, lol.

This weekend is set to be busy. The lawn needs to be mowed and I have birthday parties on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Dan's niece has a birthday on the 23rd and my niece has a birthday on the 24th. They are a year apart in age. I also need to go shopping, clean my house, do laundry, and try to actually sleep as well. We'll see how much I get done. The good news is that Dan goes to see his surgeon on Wednesday, which will likely mean he will get his cast off and put into a brace. We're hoping that will mean that he can drive again, since it's his right leg that is injured. The thought that he may be able to do **** for himself again is making me giddy with excitement.
JBQOTD: I drive a Candy Blue 2015 Ford Focus Hatchback. I LOVE my car. I get great gas mileage and I look cute while I'm doing it. It's a lease, which I'm actually okay with. I have two bumper stickers (Magnets really, because of the lease). One that says "My other ride is a TARDIS" and one that says "Bad Wolf". LOL. It's also a mess, and I really need to get it washed and clean out the interior. I don't drive nearly as much as you do, but between my commute and the 3 year old, it's pretty bad. Not really dirty, per se, just full of junk.

20.75 months since surgery

B: 2 eggs, 1 slice cheese (scrambled in the microwave). Coffee with SF Coffeemate

L: a can of ALbacore and maybe some fruit or a small salad from the Deli downstairs.

D: I seriously have no idea, but I have some leftover ham still from easter, and I do have to stop at WalMart on the way home to pick up a prescription and some dog food. I may just grab a rotisserie chicken.

S: I have nothing, but I'm not feeling snacky or hungry today, so maybe nothing at all.

Totals? We don't need no stinking totals! LOL

I don't have any new pics to add, but I did get a great video last night that I shared to facebook. I uploaded it to Youtube today so I could share it with everyone here. This is my youngest, Kal, singing happy birthday to me last night. He's so sweet and smart and funny. He's 3.5 years old and one of the best decisions I have ever made. We did InVitro to have him and I love to tell him how very much he was wanted.

"I love to tell him how very much he was wanted." I love this so much

Boo to headaches... Yay to Birthdays and a sweet little one

happy belated birthday lady!

Hello all!

This is a picture of my four year old, running around shirtless and with binoculars, as one does. Ignore the mess on the table. We are slowly shoveling out the garage.

QOTD- I drive a giant 12 passenger van. Yep. We are those people. Also overdue for an oil change.

Meals today, 7 months post op...

shakes x 3- peaches and cream

Dinner-still with the stuffed peppers. I don't really like them. So I keep avoiding them and eating other things, and then pushing them on the next day's menu. Yeah.

Rainy rain rain here...we are home all day and I was hoping to catch up on some things. We shall see.

Love the Renovations JB! Hope you get the great feedback you deserve on Monday...

QOTD: I drive a 2012 White Jeep Grand Cherokee...love that car. I bought it new, and hope it lasts me for a long time to come. It has about 80,000 miles on it...it has taken quite a few NY to Chicago and NY to DC roundtrips... lost count. Has served me well. Love having a sunroof on my cars. Even when it is not totally open I like having the window exposed so get extra sunlight. Desperately needs a cleaning from winter sand etc....

3 turkey sausage, 1 egg
