09/14/19,. Saturday

Liz, that sounds like a great day. It also has charm of being about The Future! I love anything that's about "the future," even if they're utter fantasies. Really perks me up. And sometimes those fantasies come true. :)

Greetings All

Had the courage to weigh today. 158.5! Down, no doubt due to cold and not eating so much. When you can't taste or breathe eating loses its charm.

Hey Ocean Diane, glad you are having fun with the rv. Somehow an empty campground sounds better than a crowded one bu****ching kids have fun has its charms. Many more trips.

Ann, good idea to ditch the laptop at night. Having said that, I confess to taking my iPad to bed and watching tv with sound off. It sort of lulls me. I mostly play words with friends. Kind of like reading a book. And good for you on the second book club. I have not joined one because I think I would feel too pressured to read like homework. I so remember when we had to read all 1200 pages of Tom Jones over spring break in college.

Cecily happy birthday Fergus. Keep getting those fruit flies drunk.

Dave hope you are having a laid back day and getting better. I suspect its hard for you to keep still.

BB keep healing. Your DH is right it will get better. My prescription: read a trashy novel.

Peps good on you for cutting back on grooming. Tesla is a mess and really needs it. I am going to take her in hopefully next week for OFA on hips plus dentistry and anything else that needs anesthetic. Wish us a good result.

Today is football day. Our team is not till evening. They lost in an overtime last week. Can't seem to get anything right. Fortunately I am not heavily invested - just amused.

Time to get dressed and go play with my new tea towel. Diane S

DianeO, at least you got 11 days of peace. Such a beautiful spot.

Checked the mail first thing this morning and found a beautiful tea towel and a wooden book mark all the way from Australia. Thanks Shirl! DW, Lorri, said to tell you it did make me smile. And that you are alright. The towel features a Laughing Kookaburra. I will try to add a picture tomorrow when the bandwidth is better.

weighed today at 259.2. It will be interesting to see if I can continue to lose and keep it off when it doesn't hurt to walk to the pantry.

david

So pleased you liked it David and that it made you smile :)

A little piece of Australia for you

Hi everyone, yes, Saturday is lovely. DH often works weekends, but he has both Saturday and Sunday off, and we are enjoying it fully.

I started with my tai chi class. After that we went out for breakfast in St.Paul at the Irish coffee house I found that serves scones with clotted cream. They did not disappoint. We browsed some shops, and I found a few things I could use to organize my classroom at a thrift store. Then we drove over to Minneapolis to stop at the Guthrie Theater to buy our new season tickets. It's always easier to do it in person because we have to customize our dates due to DH's work schedule. Picking out our dates and seats is one of my favorite fall traditions :) Once that was done, several hours had passed since breakfast, so we decided to toast the upcoming season on a sunny patio with drinks and appetizers. And now I hear DH loading the dishwasher. Can this day get any better??!

I'm wondering if my private messages here at OH aren't working properly. Ocean Diane asked me to check them, but I didn't see any new ones. I also can't access any sent messages. Does it have that feature? Could someone send me a message so I can see if it's working? I want in on the Facebook group :)

I sent you a message. Let's see if it works.

Thanks, it worked!

I sent you a friend request on Facebook

Correction...I sent you my Facebook user name because there are too many people with yours. As soon as you send a friend request on FB, I can add you.
