You can always make chicken noodle soup. That's what I did with my leftover rotisserie chicken!

Kids! Reminds me of that Joni Mitchell song lyric: "Kids with the jitters in their legs And those wide, wide open stares."

Greetings all
NEWS FLASH1 I AM WEARING A T SHIRT. It's warm enough for it right now. Won't be in a couple of hours but I am enjoying it. I kept to my no shopping plan and did the gym. Somehow I have messed up my iphone so the music is imbalanced and the singer cannot be heard. Crap, what did I do? I tried to ask Siri how to fix it but she is ghosting me. Listening to KD Lang. Go listen to her sing "Hallelujah". Awesome. After that I went to the studio and made some things. As it gets warmer the place will empty out but it was busy today.
So we had the deli chicken last night and I thought it was good. DH not so much. But we will have it again tonight before it is relegated to the dogs.
Liz glad to hear your DD is moving along with the biopsy plans. We are all hoping it can be scheduled soon. Best to move ahead even if you are traveling. And jeepers - pot smoking painter. What a dummy. They could at least smoke outside.
No food advice here today except that I am enjoying cottage cheese again. Some days I hate it and some days I love it. Go figure.
Good on you Paula for doing your work out. You rock it.
Third little eaglet has hatched. They are so adorable at this stage. DukeFarms eagle cam.
Maybe I will stir fry the chicken. Maybe not.

130.3. Still not there!
Tax appointment went well. Getting money back for once!
Not much going on today. Did my interval treadmill workout again. DC1 here. DH wiling for a coworker tonight so he was home during the day today.
We are going out for wood grilled pizza tonight. Calories will be in proper range but sodium is always high with pizza so I'm not expecting a drop tomorrow either and wouldn't be surprised if there is a little uptick.
Liz, I'm glad DD is going ahead with the biopsy in the OR. Sorry that it like you will be out of the country then. Continued prayers that whatever they discover will be an easy fix!

My mom's friend was a 4th grade teacher and each year had her students write out the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner. Some of the misunderstandings of the words were wonderful. "Donzerly light" was a frequent occurrence.
119.2 - official weight for the week
I spoke with DD again last night. She does want to go the OR route but the scheduling might mean that I cannot go. She said I didn't have to but then asked if I would be available by phone in case something came up and her husband wasn't sure what to do. I will be in BVI from 3/13-3/24 and on a boat most of that time. I believe we will be on or near islands most days so hopefully I will be able to receive phone calls.
A friend called in panic yesterday looking for a recommendation because she had to fire the person painting the interior of the new home. They plan to move into it in a couple of weeks, and this was the last step of the interior renovations they have had done. Apparently when they went to the house on Monday it was obvious that the painter had been smoking pot in their home. They told her that was not accceptable and that they would have to let her go if it happened again. So yesterday when they stopped by the house was all stinky again! This painter must not be the brightest because they live just around the corner so stop by frequently. Our painter/handyman is completely trustworthy and has a bit of OCD about making sure his work is perfect so I was happy to recommend him.
Today looks like it will be another beautiful day. I have yoga after we walk Justice. DH has a cardiology appointment, then I will go to the practice range with my friend (we rescheduled from yesterday). Not sure about dinner/evening plans.
Have a friendly Friday!

Anything accomplished on a post-retirement day makes it a productive day LOL!

I guess kids definitely say the darndest things. There must be sites with similar quotes. We used to trade people's comments on insurance accident reports around. Messing up grammar sometimes led to very funny descriptions.

We should take credit!

I look forward to what both you and Ann say everyday. In fact I look forward to all the musings from all the tribe. Sometimes we talk of deeply profound things, sometimes just the day's minutia. I love both, but I find the minutia to be like comfort food, satisfying and heartwarming.
