LOL! You aren't not the only one! When it gets to step versions of children, etc, I totally give up.

Yeah for you not gaining weight with all that moving around! But boo for coming home to a house needing to be cleaned. Good for you again in being able to contain the ire (hopefully it will be taken care of by EOD).

One day, when we were traveling, DH turned into an 80 year old grandpa and while tipping an employee who helped us find something at a store he said, You can buy yourself a pop. The look on her face. She probably thought this dude thinks I can get pot for $5? Finally he said I meant a soda. She still looked dubious, and we left.
Greetings all
Nice sunny day here. But I am seeing the naked lady lilies which signals the end of summer. Actually summer is not over here until october. Love those lilies.
CC are you ok?
Spent time at the studio today. Housecleaner was supposed to come but she got a migraine. She will come tomorrow.
I still have not done my tidying up for guests Friday evening. Ho hum. They can just see us in our natural messy habitat.
Peps so you have now conquered the midwestern dog world! Congrats. And congrats on no weight gain during travels. A worthy achievement.
So DD you were named for your necklace! How cool. My college jewelry was more love beads and mood rings. Hope you still have that necklace. And yay for midwestern talk. "I am just going to scoot by you" or "just a schootch". not sure how to spell that. Peps I hope you got a loose meat sandwich somewhere. Or a Runza.....
Liz enjoy being the cat mover. Not an easy task. Bet it's good to see your DS moving forward in life.
Paula congrats on Etsy sales. Soon there will be more. You might start looking for shops that will take things on consignment.
Burgers tonight. And more of the fresh runner beans which were great last night.

Weight down just a smidge, not enough to claim another pound. Feeling like I can finally eat a bit more! I had some 700 calorie days in there and that was with trying my darnedest to get the calories and protein in! I'm actually kinda hungry for dinner tonight which will be potstickers!
Worked in the garden today. We delivered 93 lbs. of food to the pantry! Tonight is couples Bible study and tomorrow is women's Bible study.
I opened my Etsy shop in February and had only had one sale until a few weeks ago when I got my second and then I got 2 more in one day on Monday! Hope things are looking up for my retirement gig!
DD, we say Ope, excuse me as well! Along with bubbler for a drinking fountain and I used to say Pop but now say soda, not sure when or why that changed. We also end sentences with prepositions, as in Are you going with? Used to drive Ben crazy! We also say Yeah, no!, meaning no! Bunch of oddballs we are!
Hope DS's launch goes well Liz! We are enjoying being (sort of) empty nesters again. DC1 is still coming over a lot and we are happy to support them with free dinners and companionship!
Peps glad you got home safe and sound. Even though WI is the birthplace of Culver's, I can honestly say I am not a frozen custard fan (I find it too sweet). I'll take DQ over Culver's any day and if we are talking a vanilla soft serve cone I actually prefer McDonalds over the other two! TTYL! Just had to add one acronym to make ya think!

I LOVE Diamond D, and now even more that I know the story!
I just get confused with all the DSD, DD, DS, DDH, stuff.... sometimes I find myself spending more time figuring out what the acronyms mean than I think I should.
So Diamond D is a nickname from college. I had a gold charm shaped like a D with a diamond chip on it. It was all the rage to wear multiple gold chains in various lengths with gold charms, and I thought this one really added something! I was inordinately proud of it, and when I showed my new acquisition to my roommates, they christened me Diamond D. 
I guess they didn't understand how fashionable I was.
Got on the scale for the first time in two weeks. Well, I stayed exactly the same! Can't complain after being on the road for two weeks and eating basically fast food the entire time. I really only had one or two truly decent meals, though I did try to go places like Jersey Mike's for sandwiches and often removed the carbs from the burgers. At least I did eat a lot of protein in the way of Quest Bars during the trip. Anyhow, I'm pleased that there was no gain. Not gonna lie, though. I was hoping to be down a little bit, but the reality is I didn't eat to lose weight, so the real world result vs. fantasy result is quite pleasing.
Came home to a house in desperate need of cleaning. Ire rose this morning.... It's just not okay. Internal fuming boiled over when I was told he would do housework Thursday after he got his church work done today.... And I will leave it there.
I can't decide if I will take a tirzepatide shot today or wait until tomorrow. I took the last one last Wednesday (a day early) but now am not sure whether to get back on the old schedule or adopt a new one. I guess it doesn't really matter.
Diamond Diane, I did immediately think of you when I read Tim Walz was Harris's chosen running mate. I have to say, his personal history and record is very appealing to me.
I know I have said this before, but the use of acronyms (DD, MIL, etc...) can sometimes be confusing - especially the use of DD. Just sayin'.... I know, I know.... old man needs to get with the times....
