What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?
Hello and Happy Happy Friday!
Oh boy, yesterday was a long one. I got a ton done again which feels good. I applied to 4 jobs, decorated a few dozen cookies, and just knocked a billion things off my long long list. It's down to a nice manageable list that is finally under a page long, but of course everything that is left is something I am avoiding, so we'll see if I can keep it going, but I am feeling motivated!
Grim and I might carve out some time for a little trip down to our favorite light house today. We haven't been all summer and our favorite near restaurant is probably going to close for the season soon. We had talked about going today but I am looking at the weather and it doesn't look good, so TBD.
Tomorrow night I am going into Boston to meet up with a friend for dinner and a show. It should be a fun time, but I am not to happy about having to drive home on the highway at night. My night driving is really bad after my laser surgery and I just hate it now. Other than that, the weekend is just more of the same, I think?
My picture this week is me (and Innie).
QOTD: Tell us about your prom. I had a fun time. I wore a huge peach colored Cinderella dress and my hair was huge - it was perfectly 1990. The prom itself was at a hotel banquet room and our after prom party was just a bunch of couples hanging out at a friend's house, drinking and playing games.
Accountability: I stuck to my plan but I had a bigger serving size for dinner than I panned and probably doubled those calories.
Today's menu is up in the air depending on whether we go on our little adventure today. I also want to clean out the freezer and get a better handle on what I have, so we'll see what I come up with. I'm starting now, of course, with protein powder mixed with a double espresso :)

Happy Friday menuers!
Love that picture of you and a kitty paw.
I'm currently parked at a truck stop in Georgia to avoid city traffic and take a bit of a nap after driving 10 hours. Yawn.
QOTD- I went to three proms. The most memorable was at the zoo because someone thought that would be a good idea. Newsfla**** was not. I also made my own dress one year.
Family time today with some work in there once I get to the place we're meeting. Looking forward to it except that I managed to forget my Oktoberfest hat in packing for the roadtrip. Womp womp.
Pics are the forgotten hat posing in 2021 and a clone of the pretzel we're sure to buy this year.
Menu is road food bag and dinner with the fam.
Cheers!

Will do! It will be good to see them. I'll be booking it north sometime Sunday morning and Plattsburgh is my goal for Monday morning, so far. Michigans and ferries are in order that day, I believe. Still looking at the potential for topside Ohio later in the week!

Yours sounds wonderful, and a lot more alpine than this one! Helen's has been running for 53 years now, so that's kind of impressive. No ski slopes here though. I hope your trip is a blast!

Good mornin everyone!
Yesterday was a pretty mixed bag. We have major drama in our little family brewing. The kids other grandma is basically grooming Rachel to want to move in with her. We told my brother about it and he of course blew up a bit. Rachel has been having attitude issues. This explains a lot. This woman has already ruined her three kids and she has no business with raising my niece. She is 12! She is in the alllll about herself stage. She wants to be able to do what she wants to do with out getting into trouble. We're probably going to have a talk with my SIL too. Her mom kept saying Rachel hated my SIL and that Jess(SIL) hated her mom too. Why her mother told us all this information is beyond me. My mom loves her kids...we are far from perfect but she is ride or die. Just a lot of drama that we could live without. They are most likely to cut contact with her. She even told us she wrote Jess out of her will. Oy vey.
Not 100% sure what today'll hold. I have to get some necessities and pay a few bills. I am getting something in the mail today that is either a bill or info about seeing a different doctor. Hoping for the later. My pain levels are just intense and I've been having a headache for what seems like a month. Both of my hips feel very off the past few days. It hurts more to walk now.
QOTD: never went to one.
food is incredibly unplanned as usual. I ordered a work book for bariatric mindset...I can't remember the authors name but it was mentioned here. I got the 6 month tracking book off of eBay too.
pics are of Ms.Opal, our late pup Priscilla(I had to find some pics to show the artist I am having a small portrait drawn) and a slightly naughty but oh so funny meme.
