Whose house? And what time? :thumbup:

I don't care - we can do either at anytime! hahaha I am so flexible!

marshmellow drop looks like fun...

pear martini:

2parts vodka (i like kettle one)

1part pear liquor

pear slice as garnish

*if i don't have fresh pears i'll used canned & use half the pear liquor and replace w/a splash of the Syrup from the can*

Thanks LuLu! I wonder if Beth would mind if we have Pear Martinis and mashed potatoes for Easter dinner? ??

As for cleaning house before the cleaning lady come, I used to do the same thing. I am thinking about going back to a cleaning lady at least once a month again, because I hate cleaning with a passion.

I am loving having Gladys come over and clean! This will be her second visit. I work full time and go to school in the evenings so that is a great excuse not to do housework!

3 hours to go till I get to go out and have drinks with friends!

You kiddin'?? I'm making a grocery list as we speak!

Oh, and I can bring crab cakes if you wish. That is also a do-able mushie. And being Sunday anyway, the fourth day after my fill... :thumbup:

Heartfire - I love sugar snap peas; wish I could get some fresh ones here, but that's months away yet.

That's the wonderful thing about living in the middle of the nation's salad bowl! I'm in the mtns in the central part of CA and that's where most of the nation's veggies are grown. There is a farm an hour from me that is an organic CSA. They pack weekly boxes of what ever is in season and ready that day, for their members and deliver to drop sites in different areas. I pick up a box every week at my local (10 minutes from my house) natural foods store. LOVE IT!!

Ohh Tap I am so jealous of your nonworking day. But at least I only have a half day today. I have to go pick up the kiddies and take them to the big marshmallow drop today. Nothing quite like watching a blizzard of 20,000 marshamallows being dropped from a helicoptor.

Sounds like a TON of fun!!! It'd be a blast to actually SEE the drop! Enjoy!!

Pick a season already Mother Nature...geez.

We're doing the same thing. Happens every April. Mid-70's one day, snow the next. Rain the next few days! It's hard to figure out what to wear sometimes!! Layers are always called for this time of year!

off to get dunked & find out my "real" body fat #, that and get my bone density tested. dh decided to go w/me, thinks i've lost a marble or 2....happy good friday!

Have fun!! Best wishes on the results. I would find the whole process fascinating. But I'm strange that way.

I love horror movies. I am going to go see that this weekend with my kids.

I don't like a lot of the new horror/slash 'em stuff. I like the old b&w ones that had the great music to scare the pants off ya!!

I hate cleaning too. When I was working in the office, I could afford it but now, nope. I would only straighten up the night before to make it easier for her to clean!

Okay, I think I can survive today and tomorrow. Sunday, it is time for full liquids!!!!!

Of course you can! You're strong! You CAN do this!

Awwww man.......*disappointed*

*un-disappointed!*

Nope, he's here! His boob radar went off! :tt2:

Dad's heart cath went well; he has no blockages. Woohoo!!! He has some artery disease (?) for which he'll be put on a statin. We're all very relieved and thrilled about the news. :thumbup:

SOOOOO glad it all went well! I was hoping to see an update soon.

3 hours to go till I get to go out and have drinks with friends!

Have fun! And three hours is nothing. It'll be over before ya know it!

Think this fill might work, at least for a little while. What I normally eat for Breakfast, I couldn't finish this AM!

Still need to get on the treadmill and walk. Can't do the neighborhood thing today. Threatening rain and it's cold. Don't want to take DD out in the stroller in this stuff. Just me and I'd go, did the other day. Got wet but it wasn't bad. Dog felt differently than I did tho! She practically dragged me back to the house Wednesday! LOL!

Have a Blessed Good Friday!

Little baby Shane Update - He is still in NICU. He has been put back on the feeding tube and the IV restarted. He has gone from 8 lbs 4 oz to 7 lbs 14 oz. They have determined that although he is large because of my sisters gestational diabetes he is actually a premature baby. He does not have a suck reflect yet. If you rub his cheek he does not turn his head looking to suckle. His bilirubin is down which is great news. It was so high they checked him to brain damage. Thank you all again for keeping him in your thoguhts and prayers. He will not be going home until he is feeding and showing weight gain.

He just NOW thinks that? :thumbup:

Then it's never gonna happen. All we can hope NOW is that they don't turn into double-longs. :tt2:

I am so there. Congrats on your C!

Poor little guy. Am definitely keeping him, your sister and your whole family in my thoughts.

Okay, before you all disappear for the weekend, like you know you do, please help me out here. Do any of you know a website where I can go and enter ingredients for a recipe and it will in turn give me the calories, fat, Protein, etc.? If you do, I would greatly appreciate it.

This is what I use when I trying to calculate a recipe.

Nutrition facts, calories in food, labels, nutritional information and analysis – NutritionData.com

It lets you input the ingredients along with the amounts. Then it calculates the data for you.

Slim, I REALLY love the tag line you borrowed from another poster. It's an excellent motivator and something to remember.

The drink sounds good. How did the dunk go?

dunk went fine - had to do it twice cause i'm a bit claustrophobic having my face submerged in Water, even for a small period. dh is a scuba diver & i can't even float around snorkling.

there actually wasn't too much of a difference between my dr's scale, trainers pincher, and the tank.....good news is that when i first starting working out my % of body fat (trainer taken) was 37 - today it's 19.2%.

spent the rest of the day at our farmers market w/dh getting crawfish / crabs / veggies & fruit for company that arrives at the crack a$$ at dawn i'm sure......off to clean a guest rm....
