What's on your Friday menu RNY'ers?

Good morning! I'm home sick today. My spring cold finally got the best of me, though I've been fighting it all week. What is the consensus on taking gel capsule medications? That's all I currently have in the house for cold meds (no NSAIDs, just question about effectiveness of gel caps). I may end up going to the store since we're out of a lot of stuff, so I can pick up a different variety of med if I ought.

qotd: weekend plans were to go thrifting to find some capris for spring/summer, but we'll see how I feel.

breakfast: coffee, I might do a Greek L&F later but I really have no appetite.

Lunch: ham and bean soup from the freezer. I might add unflavored protein just to get that in today.

dinner: maybe more soup. On my own, and nothing really sounds good.

Pics are of my sprouted tomato babies under the lights, and just a cute pic I took of myself after a woman scolded her little girl for saying she liked my green hair. "Nice girls don't have green hair." She told her impressionable small daughter. It made me feel really bad, not for myself, but for the little girl who doesn't yet know that there are certain ways she's "supposed" to look to be acceptable. Also, I think I look like a nice girl.

I envy those who have no appetite when sick. With the exception of stomach issues, when I don't feel well I want to eat everything - pre and post op - to comfort and feel better.

I used to be the same way, but at some point I managed to shift my thinking. If I'm going to indulge, I want it to be for something GOOD, and right now I can't taste anything

I can't believe she would say that to her daughter. Hair color does not make you a nice, good, bad, honorable or any other kind of person. And yes, you do look like a nice girl.

Cassie your green hair totally brings out your beautiful eyes. It makes me sad when parents teach their kids things like that, it seems like a form of prejudice that they are instilling, like it's OK to judge people for these things, which is upsetting.

Story asked me if she could have blue hair the other day, so I put blue hair wax in her hair and she sported it all day. I just don't understand the problem. its just a fun way to express yourself, and especially when they are kids--why not let them enjoy being expressive when they are actually learning about who they are and who they want to be!

Exactly! I'd have no problem putting wash-out colors in my future children's hair! They'll have plenty of time when they're older to decide what they are going to be and what that looks like to them.

I hope you feel better. I have taken capsules without issue. And, I like your green hair!!

Good morning all and TGIF!! It's been such a busy week, I feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day lately. My whole day is spent getting stuff done so I can sit down, eat dinner and relax before bed! I have so many project I'm working on. Since we moved, we've (and Jess now too) have hopped on the super purge and organize wagon and we keep finding more things like that to do. This weekend I'm painting some bookcases and a table and may find more things to spruce up... Working on the potting table, indoor and outdoor plants, putting together the new BBQ, hanging up wall stuff, maybe shopping for our camping trip and Jess wants to see a movie. I am so behind on 'our' movies - Bumblebee, Aquaman (showing at the cheap seats still) and now Captain Marvel - among others... Rob has no interest and will be watching basketball anyway! I'd also like to get a hike in there too.

QOTD ^ I guess I answered it already! Except, I'm making fro yo in the ice cream maker tonight - Fage 0%, vanilla ex, splenda and fresh strawberries. It says you can put greek in with out any liquid - we'll see.

Have a an awesome day!

Right?? ( I Dolly)

let us know how your Fro Yo turns out. I made it last week. It was great right out of the ice cream maker, but it was hard as a rock after being in the regular freezer for a day or two (it was at least soft enough to eat after sitting out for awhile, though). I read sugar helps it freeze better - but maybe Splenda will have the same effect? (i didn't add either - I put protein powder in it). Let me know - I'd like to try it again.
