We bought a dog door panel for our slider. Little guy, Camden caught on pretty quick. Zeke, the intellectually challenged one....well, let's just say I should probably go get some more cheese to lure him through 🤦‍♀️🙄🤭 This may take a while!

Writing is good... I'm starting to have withdrawals!

It was a splurge. I don't regret it. Just sucks finding out the hard way that fried food does not agree with me whatsoever anymore (probably a good thing though...not as tempting knowing I'm gonna feel crappy after, sorta like when you realize you can't drink like you did when you were 20!)

Other than work getting in the way today was a really good day. It's always good to see my son. I'm not looking forward to him being so far, but I'm so proud of the adult he's become. My toes look ah-mazing! I tried a new color that changes from a pink to a purple that's sort of glittery. So pretty! Dinner was a massive failure in the sense that we went to our favorite BBQ place and there's nothing healthy on the menu. It sure did taste good though!! Bloat City on the drive home. However, I tried to compensate by going for an extra long walk with the dogs when I got home. Felt better after. Back on track tomorrow. Hope y'all have a good night!

I hear ya! I've had quite a few of those moments when I've asked myself questions like...I wonder if Spaghetti Os would be good with tuna fish?🤢 Other times I've found some amazing combinations like animal crackers with Wispride port wine and cheddar cheese (so what if I was pregnant at the time🤪) Just got back from lunch with my boy and his girlfriend (who I really would love to have as a dtr-in-law.) Lunch was good..teriyaki salmon with seasoned rice and a side salad. Already missing them.

I'm a patient person....until I'm not. Some days the rope is longer than others. Today I have little patience...I just want to see my boy! I also have a date with my Florida bestie to get our toes done tonight. Work is just getting in the way! @Wayne Gray hash master and culinary inventor extraordinaire! 🤣

I'm off to bed too. The sooner I get to sleep, the sooner I get to see my boy❤ @Mikiesboy page 1000. Nice! goodnight all!

This has definitely been a long week. I get to see my older boy tomorrow. He and his girlfriend are stopping to have lunch with me on their way to Miami for his old roommate's wedding. I. Can't. Wait!

My friend...I will gladly hop aboard the crazy train right beside you. You can drive and I'll be hanging out the window hollering "whooooooohoooooo!!!" 🤣🤣🤣

That's sad. We're really lucky down here. We have Aldi's which is really reasonable for staples like milk/almond milk, eggs, bread etc. Detweiler's is the Amish market I love. Great produce, meats and fish. Pricy for everything else. BUT...they carry things like almond flour, chia seeds, flax seeds...so, there's that. Two grocery stores, Publix and Winn Dixie are good when you shop the sales. It's more effort, but now that things are getting sort of back to normal it's worth it. More exercise when you have to go up and down aisles vs ordering online from the recliner!

Hi molly! Sorry your day sucked, but I'm glad you're doing better. I hate when I have those days.

I have cut the cord to Walmart. They pissed me off once too many times..lol. I haven't stepped foot in one since the beginning of April. I get the generic version at the grocery store occasionally. I don't add any sweetener to coffee other than the flavored creamer. I also get flavored coffee beans and when I have that I just put in a little half & half. Medical issues are a huge wake up call, especially the older you get. Fear is a good motivator when your mortality is staring you in the face. I'm getting there. Slowly but surely (I started typing, Shirley, lol) I'm happy to say that I've lost 20lbs since March 1st. Still going to be a battle...but one I'm determined to win. Hardest part is working on the mental side of it. Food addiction...unfortunately you can't give it up completely. I have to learn to get past my inner obstacles and do what's right.

I use that too. Guess I'm browsing recipes this weekend!

I've managed to almost do away with refined sugar. (Flavored coffee Creamer is the one thing I won't budge on...I did switch to almond milk based) I may switch to maple syrup for certain things. The only problem with that is my husband loves it so it disappears quickly.

Aw hell.... Why is it that I automatically gravitate toward everything that's not good for you? I didn't know about the insulin sensitivity. Guess I'm not using that anymore. Dammit. Thanks for the info....even though it burst my bubble. Shit.

I can't taste the avocado. It's probably one of the mildest oils I've tried. Sesame oil has a strong flavor like olive oil does. The Amish market I go to has several odd varieties of oil. Here's a link that has some good info: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/diet/15-best-healthy-cooking-oils-in-india/articleshow/20678146.cms

Me too! Also... I swapped out honey with Agave nectar. It has a lighter flavor. Avocado oil replaced the butter....less saturated fat.

Always glad to help out!

Aiden is the poster child for birth control for sure! The apartment? You should've seen what she did to it prior to the final edits. 🤣

Those face-palm moments that make you laugh are great for brightening your day. I laughed at my best friend last week and wished I could've smacked her upside the head. She texted me "Where did you live when you when you worked at Logan? Me: "Everett for a year. Why? Her: Daughter has an internship in Winthrop and is looking for a place to live for 3 months. Me: It was OK when I was there...but it was almost 30 freaking years ago Her: but where did you live? What city? Me: (rolling my eyes, sighing heavily) EVERETT!!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣🤣🤣 I swear I speak and write in tongues some days. Nope...everyday.

One of mine is almost 19...it never ends!

That has got to be the most insulting inspirational quote ever. Glad you gave him a virtual slap. And yes, the urge to slap an idiot happens nearly every damn day.

Oh, this was a beast of a chapter huh? Although I think the chapter should've been called Asshole Aiden Arrives. I forgot to suggest it earlier. Love the direction you took it in!

My husband is okay with the stove settings....(most of the time). It's the A/C or heater in the car he has trouble with. No matter what the temp is he defaults to defrost on the cat 5 hurricane setting. 🙄 I keep trying to tell him...it's air in the hair and heat on the feet!😁

2, 7, 8, 9, 12, and my favorite...19 Thanks for the laugh rick!
