[quote name=luluc;1320161we have just gutted our place' date=' started @ the second floor and are working our way down. a lot of expense has gone into replacing all electrical/plumbing/propane/water lines (in the country).

this wkend we got all our art out of storage and have started decorating our upstairs (2 guest rms/music-game rm/media rm-kitchen/baths). along with FINALLY agreeing on all textiles for the downstairs remodel.

kitchen is gutted now (pic attached) - glad we had another one built upstairs...., exciting - finally putting pcs together and starting to feel like home.[/quote]

LOVE the finished room, Lu!!

Ha! Very funny!!!! Don't know why you'd think that.

Um....what year? I'm not good w/the newer cars. Daggone 'puters and stuff.

I'm an upstanding citizen at this point in my life, but if there were a nuclear event and people had to live wild - I'd be okay.

I learned all I need to know from Red Dawn. Get me to the mountains, give me access to a hunting supply store, and some big puffy down coats, and feathered hair - I'd be good to go.

THAT'S our Glouc!

Okay, I am officially exhausted.

Hubby's still recuperating from surgery, so I took on the mowing today. We mow our yard and the old lady's next door who died a few months back (he was mowing before she died too... to help out).

So I did two yards and didn't end there. I picked up dog doo, raked, swept, weeded, cut numerous low-hanging branches off a tree, tore the lattice-work out from under the deck (too many holes in it [bought it with some damange]), hauled huge branches out to the street... omg, I started about 2:00 and didn't end until after 7:00.

I oughtta sleep good tonight! Which is fine, because hubby and I (since he's been off) have been on a REALLY late-night binge lately (last night we were up until almost 5:00am!). I NEED to get on a schedule, as I have some homework that needs to be done tomorrow.

I downloaded my GoWear Fit at 8:00pm and had already burned nearly 2700 calories, and I have my max set at 2200 (leaving a thousand-calorie deficit, so I only really take in 1200).

Did I say I was tired?

And no, Lu, don't even ask. lol

Dang girl! That is one busy day! You were a regular landscaping crew all by yourself. I get in those moods every so often and watch out!

I have a few branches that need trimming - noticed them yesterday when I was out mowing the pasture. Trying to decide if I need the chainsaw or the pullsaw? Chainsaw is faster - decision made!

You should get some good sleep tonight!

Beth, working off those mojitos perhaps? You're hilarious when you post drunk, BTW. Sounds like you had some pent up energy. Hubby still on meds??

Hi everybody! Hope you're all having a great holiday weekend. I'm dodging raindrops to get in the pool. And for some real fun, I'm gonna grocery shop tomorrow. Look out world, TPG is on the loose. I hate grocery shopping. Lots. Might toss in a trip to Target too. I like to live on the edge. Tues. I get to see the doc for my psych eval.

This'll prolly be my last post. I'm sure the shrink will be sending me to the nut farm - aka macadamia ranch...If I gnaw thru the restraints, I'll try to make contact...

Take care and Happy Labor Day.

Crap, did I post last night??

And yes, hubby is still on meds. I told him I was working out my sexual frustration (since the meds interfere, damnit... ). He said, Shoot, you ought to be sexually frustrated more often. I said, Who says I'm not? This time I just acted on it.

This'll prolly be my last post.

How come???

Morning everyone! This is just my internal clock check in. I plan to attempt to go back to sleep. We shall see how that goes.

I hope everyone has a great day (uneventful or exciting, you decide)!

[BethFromVA 5]

G'mornin' slim! I would HATE to have your internal clock since I'm a late-nighter.

I was so tired from the yard work I did yesterday but went to bed and couldn't get to sleep. I went up about 12:30 and read until about 1:00 with the intent of getting on a more "normal" (for me) schedule since I need to start budgeting my time. So much for that...

PJTP: WHY I HATE SALT!!!

I have GOT to figure it's salt cuz this just ain't normal. The other day I was 223.5. Then the next day, Saturday, I was 228! Then yesterday I was 230.5!!! OH MY FREAKIN' GOD! I'm back down to 228 this morning, but there's nothing else I can attribute this to other than salt. Not that I've knowingly done anything especially salty -- but the night before the first jump I had hubby's steak (marinated with, I believe, soy and other stuff), and then the next jump was after his chicken (also marinated with, I believe, soy and other stuff).

I HATE seeing stuff like that happen.

Yesterday I was so busy I hardly ate enough to keep a goldfish alive (which I also know doesn't help).

I just wanted to say AAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!:cursing:

[*slim* 2]

Better luck next time Beth. I am not sure at what point my body decided that 4:30 was an excellent time to get up, but I really hate it on days when I don't have to work.

I am sitting here attempting to eat some Greek yogurt. I made the mistake of tasting a piece of meat this morning well before my body was ready for solid food. I didn't PB or anything like that, but it still feels like the meat is sitting in my throat. Yucky feeling. It made my coffee go down slow. This yogurt is causing some strange noises going down. This does not bode well for my dinner plans.

I am so sorry Beth. I know that feeling so well. It will drop again in no time flat.

Stuck food, ugh... And I find I just simply make more weird noises no matter what. Like a coffee percolater. lol

You know what I found strange? And I mentioned this to DH the other day. I don't know if there is ANY correlation whatsoever, but since doing the pouch test, I don't have such a sensitive pouch anymore. I mean, the food stays with me when I eat, but I had many mornings when even drinking down my Protein Shake could take way longer than it should have due to tightness. I haven't had that since doing the test. Weird, huh?

I know... and still keeping with the "diet mentality," I see it as a negative, even though I know it will drop in a couple days. But still...

[*slim* 2]

Maybe doing the pouch test allowed your pouch to heal from abuse? It makes sense. Your pouch is rested from churning. I need to do the pouch test just because I feel like I need a fill on most days. I know that every time that I have done it (I never make it the full 5 days), I have come out of feeling the pouch is working better for me.

* i have the same internal clock as slim, but i will lay back down for an hr or so - when the dogs finally restle about; i'm up.

* sorry about the fries slim, DH has a small addiction as well going on.

* beth, sodium always puts Water weight on me - i can actually feel it, so i don't piss myself off by getting on the scale.< /p>

* DH's bday today & he is still sleeping. i would LOVE for him to come downstairs and say lets blow off the gym ; go have brunch somewhere, on some patio and chill for the day.

he's in pyscho workout mode right now & i don't see that happening.

i much rather some poached eggs on some yummy cream sauce w/a bloody mary (won't weigh if i do)
