What's on your Saturday menu?

Mornin' Weekenders!

we just began a several day stretch of fantastic weather, so I can't wait to get outside! DH and I are planning to bike to a coffee shop this morning. Not sure what else is on tap for today. I know he wants to get some exterior painting done before it gets too cold, so I may have to do something on my own this afternoon. I need to motivate myself to do some work for a couple of my organizations - I've been putting it off for way too long. Maybe I could find a nice spot outside - or even on our porch - and force myself to do it!

I can never think of QOTDs, so if anyone has won, go ahead and post it!

TSS: 5y2m

B: cottage cheese with 1/2 diced mango, coffee with half & half

MS: latte made with 2% milk and SF syrup

L: 2 oz turkey slices and Aldi's szechuan stir-fried vegetables

AS: protein shake for sure, not sure what else (lots of choices - L&F yogurt with raspberries, homemade pumpkin yogurt, homemade chocolate hummus on a graham cracker, light English muffin with light cream cheese....)

D: quinoa vegan "burger" on a slim bun with some kind of veggies

have a great day, everyone!

Good morning everyone!

I hope that you're all doing well.

I'm in a lot of pain this morning. We got up to 104 yesterday and it's supposed to be in the 80's today. I'll be glad when fall is here!

QOTD: what is your favorite gem or mineral?

I'd have a hard time picking just one but I do love raw fluorite! I also love moonstone.

b: 1 egg, 1 slice a toast, small banana and a coffee

l: chicken chili with Melba toast

d: chicken and apple sausage and a low carb tortilla

s: pear, quest chips and popcorn

When I was growing up, I always wished my birthday had been in May so I could have an emerald birthstone ring. Somewhere in my 30's it dawned on me that I could buy myself an emerald ring no matter when my birthday was.

I am away alone for what would have been my 39th Anniversary. Grea****erfront city but it is raining of course. I will venture out with an umbrella shortly. I ate out with a friend last night which was quite enjoyable. Tonight I have a reservation at a nice spot on the water - DSD's friend runs it and said he would make sure I gave a good seat where it won't be strange to be alone.

QOTD: Probably diamonds... I know that is trite, but I love the sparkly colors in them.

TSS: 4 years, 5 months

B: Coffee! Yogurt with strawberries and 1/2 piece coffee cake (oops - already happened).

L: Likely cottage cheese I brought with me

D: Sushi probably and wine

S: crackers, cheese and a 29 year old wine I brought (still good - I had a glass last night)

Anniversaries will always be tough. Glad you have a plan to be in a place where you will not feel so alone. Paul's spirit will be with you today.
