Finally Friday's Menu

It's Friday and I'm doing the happy dance that the week is just about over. For some reason I feel like the dog in the meme full of energy and excitement. Got a good night's sleep and woke up to rather warm weather. Of course, tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 40's with more rain, so will spend the day cooking for the week. I have to stop at the Asian market on my way home to get the ingredients to make another batch of Kimchi.

I found out this morning that my company has a Charitable Match Program where you can donate up to $200 to eligible charities and they will match it 100%. When I was looking through the list of animal charities, I found that a rescue I follow on FB is one of them. MAD Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherd Rescue. I am definitely going to be donating since they currently have 4 different dogs that they have rescued who need different surgeries.

QOTD: Speaking of charities do any of you here donate on a regular basis to any specific foundations? In the past I've donated to some small local animal rescues, but nothing big. For the last few years here at work on March 26 Jersey Mike's does all proceeds made go to March of Dimes so we make sure to get in on that.

B: coffee and I'm going to skip breakfast because we are having pizza and wing dings for lunch at work.

L: pizza and wing dings

D: Fish and Chips

30 minutes on the treadmill

Have a great day and weekend everyone!!!

Good mornin y'all!

Wednesday's appointment went ok. I have an egd and colonoscopy scheduled later this month. Not exactly looking forward to it but I've had em before. The prep is different than the others I've had so there's that. I've not been feeling all that well. Just off. Hopefully today'll be better.

yesterday we didn't have power for nearly 8 hours. They are replacing the power polls. It was annoying but necessary I guess.

we're supposed to get up to 4 inches of snow this weekend. Boooooooo!

That's awesome about the charity donation match! What a neat thing to do!

QOTD: we donate more regularly to a women's shelter here in town than anything else and the food bank when possible.

b: eggs, turkey sausage, cheese and coffee

l: probably soup

d: ???

Good Morning Jenniefer and Menuers,

It is a little dreary but not too cold here for the opening day of baseball season. The game starts at 4:12. They may get a few innings in before the rain breaks. This was an odd week here at work. Not as busy as usual. I hope next week turns around. Pretty much a typical weekend. Gym, Mom duty, I need to bake brownies for her last day of bowling and stuffed cabbage for Sunday dinner. Can someone explain to me why a 10lb bag of potato's is $3.99 and a 5lb bag is $3.59. It makes me so mad. Yes, I bought the 10lb and giving 1/2 to my brother but there is nothing right about it.

QOTD: I donate to the City Mission, Humane Society and the VVA. We also go to many fund raisers throughout the year. We do bingos, Night at the races, and anything else that sounds fun, and we feel it is worthy.

Accountability: I grazed dinner.

TSS: 7 years 3-months 24-days 167.4 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer

MS: Premier Protein chocolate peanut butter and strawberries

CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer

L: Pork chop, cucumber, humas

D: smash burger on low carb tortilla

Exercise: dog walking

Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.

Have a great weekend my friends.

Brightest Blessings

Happy Friday everyone!

I got Marilyn from the airport and we made it home at about 11:30 last night. So no swimming today. I've missed three in a row, I'm going to have to make a concerted effort to make it both days next week.

Marilyn had a good and productive couple of days in Florida. Are neighbors are very thorough and have provided her with the checklist that they use when they close up their place. I think that she appreciates it, but they are stressing her a little with reminders of everything that could possibly go wrong.

This weekend can't get here soon enough. I'm doing a 10-K in Chicago tomorrow, fishing with my son on Sunday and March Madness tomorrow evening. I have a few gym trips and errands as well, should be pretty busy.

This week is Spring Break in Chicago, so it's been pretty quiet on the roads and in the office.

QOTD: My term is up, but I was a Board Member for our County's Court Appointed Special Advocates. CASA provides volunteer advocates who help children that are navigating the Family Court system (generally abused or neglected children). Right now I am not on any Boards, just a financial supporter of various groups.

Breakfast: Bagel

Lunch: hot dog

Dinner: chicken

Have a great day, all!

Good Morning on this fine Fri-yay! We won't be getting payroll out today which is a bummer but not something I can control so I'm letting it be. I will work on some items over the weekend in hopes of a smoother Monday as a result-we'll see! We don't have much set for the weekend which helps being able just to log on to work when I feel like it.

QOTD: Nothing on a regular basis aside from being members of the station John works at.

TSS: 10 years 7 months

B: SF latte, 3 turkey sausage links, and an orange

L: Turkey and cheese sticks, oikos yogurt and some fruit

S: A piece of fruit and yogurt

D: I may grab Chipotle on my way home?

ES: Protein ice cream and carbmaster toast

E: 1/2 hour elliptical and 2 miles on treadmill

V/W: On track

Totals: TBD

Have a great day!

I wish I were that dog, it looks so happy!

QOTD- I donate monthly to Sea Shepherd, All Classical Radio, OPB our local NPR station and I gave to the Friends of Timberline to help rebuild from the fire. I used to volunteer for the Cat Adoption Team and the Portland Women's Crisis Line but it was too triggering. And I wanted to take all of the cats home with me. I need to find a volunteer opportunity.

I'm not sure what was in the air but yesterday my nose wouldn't stop running, so I ended up taking an antihistimine. It's supposed to be 67 today and 69 tomorrow so I'm going to try to get some plants and work on the garden. The last thing that I have to do to the pantry I bought is put the doors on. It was a pain to assemble and I don't read pictures a few words would have helped.

I plan to go to the movies this weekend, I'll probably see Captain America even though I've heard it's not very good but I like to see them on the big screen.

I also need to do something with the greenhouse since it blew away, I've decided to get rid of it. I partially disassembled it but I have to get that done. Since it is going to be nice I might finish that this afternoon.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning all and Happy Friday,

It's the weekend... Almost. I am trying to figure out what to do tonight for date night. Maybe a candle making place.

My mom's birthday is Sunday and we're talking her out for a nice meal. I already have a sentimental card and note.

QOTD- I donate financially to American Cancer society, Alzheimer's Mae Bell Organization, Chicago Canine Companion Shelter.

B: nothing.

L: Grilled chicken sandwich in lettuce wraps.

D: ??? I'll figure something out.

Stay on the sunny side of the street.

I like to donate to organizations that set up and take the donation out of my account so I don't have to remember. At present it is just PBS and a local cat rescue group. I used to donate a lot to church and to political groups. Not so much anymore. AA rainy few days coming up, but it is 60 and sunny today. I have a groomer coming Sunday for my cat. The warm weather is really making him shred and I am going to try a short cut called the Teddy Bear cut. I am sure he will look fine and give me a break from constant va*******
