Good morning,
Another month has come and gone. Where did the time go?
Time to work on setting your goals for October.
September went okay until the last week or so, then it went to pot. Back on the wagon for another month. Then we get into the holiday season with all of the family gatherings and holiday baking. Maybe we should be planning now as to how we will make it through the holidays without adding pounds. My goal was to lose 13 pounds by the end of the year. I shot myself in the foot this month by adding at least a pound and a half instead of losing. I haven't given up on that goal but it is sure going to be harder now. As far as I know I don't have any food related activities between now and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day is going to be a mega feast. For us it will be Thanksgiving, GD's birthday party and Christmas with oldest DD and family. Food, food and more food. Better get a few extra pounds off before then.
Back to house cleaning and yard work this week. That will give me some extra exercise. Hopefully I can finish housecleaning in the next two weeks. We will be having a house guest again the third week. DH's step sister is coming back to PA to visit her friend and do some errands. She will stay with us while she is in the PA.
Not much else to report. Have a nice day.
Good Morning and Thank You for opening
Yes September is gone .
I am starting again in October. I really slacked off in September mainly due to the trips and a cold. My weight stayed ok. Was it where I wanted it to be NO but I didn't gain any and I am Thankful for that.
I have a new plan for October and I hope it works. We shall see . I picked up a new Leslie Sansone DVD which is a 30 day plan . 30 minutes of Cardio and 30 minutes of strength so I will be doing that with some time in between on the Treadmill . I am finding that I can't do as much as I even did last year. Even 30 minutes on the Treadmill is killing my back and feet . What a Bummer but I want to lose 5 to 10 pounds in the Month of October. Course I will take more or I will take what ever I get . I just want to be able to wear some of my clothes that are hanging unused In the closet.
Yes, it is really hard to stay on a plan but together we can do it . Let's all (at least those that need to) Weigh tomorrow and than again Nov 1 and try to be less then it was Oct 1. That is my Challenge to my self. Can you give up sweets or Bread . Just one thing for the Month. Share that if you are joining in with this challenge . Remember weigh tomorrow the 1st and then again Nov 1 . Course you can weigh in between to keep on track. We can do everything together.
Count me in, Alabama
I'm in for a sugar-free October.
My exercise plan is a continuation of Sept's--training for the half with 3 runs per week and 3 days of strength training.
I started out well with my decluttering in Sept. but then lost momentum, so that's my goal again for October. Get rid of stuff!
Have a great day, everyone!
I've learned that posts go into the Moderation Queue if they contain certain words. They wait there till someone reads and approves them for posting. I think up till today, all the approving was done by one person, who obviously couldn't be on the computer 24/7. The good news is that starting today the moderators will be helping with that process so it should go pretty quickly.
Birdie, your post has been approved and is on the old thread now, but I guess it was flagged for the "b" word.
Morning ladies,
Birdie, hoping like our forecasters the ones for your Dniece are wrong and the weather is nice. I love horses so to me that would be a marvelous next step for their lives. They sound like a wonderful, caring loving couple Birdie and I too, wish them all the best. To me those who love and take care of animals are the best kind of people JMHO I don't blame you on the nowhere negotiations Birdie...and hmmmmm a Taser for all those 'idiots' would work for me...as my man Hunter would say LOL
Thanks for the start Dianna, I posted my goals last week so I am all set. As for the holidays, smaller portions and just little tastes of the dessert stuff. In our case, with no family or celebrations it's easy and when they were alive I was a lot younger so didn't have to worry about it. Well we always gained our 5 to 10 pounds over winter but lost it in the Spring with all the stuff we did. Your plan sounds like a good one Dianna, and as I said to Bama on the cardio thread....WHO MAKES IT HAPPEN, YOU DO!
Me too Dianna, on the housecleaning, want to get the dining area done, bookcase, hallway and wash area done this week. Unfortunately have shopping trip tomorrow and doctor on Thursday, so ain't gonna be easy, wish me luck.
Bama, I am with you on the workouts, ones I did last year and the year before I can no longer do so I pick and choose the ones I can...very frustrating....HUGS to both of us LOL
Good workout plan Molasses and decluttering which is something we have to get on the stick on.
I am off to breakfast, workout, shopping list, web work, etc etc etc
Have a nice day,
Good day and this is very true up here! Get in shape for shoveling Just wanted to wish you a nice day and I didn't get called on Sun. as I did get up early in case of course! But I'm very glad as I called my middle son in Marq. and said we are going on the cruise boat! I guess they canceled the trip on Sat. as it was windy anyway since son had called later and thought I was working, which I should have been but.....anyway, nice day Sun. and I told them to hold 2 tickets and had some trouble with tire on way down so I didn't get my water from Walmart or any tomatoes since I was checking air on them and got late anyway and boat went at 3 pm only. Saw my son's nice little very clean apt., very good for one person. I love it, wish I had it Lots of room for his 2 bikes even in it and always nice mini blinds are in but other tenant left some really nice rods in there so all he had to do was get some blackout curtains Long way to work for him though Anyway, we went on the cruise as my mug shot was put on FB by him, and I put it then I think on my page Was a little shorter trip now and cheaper but captain talked all the way around the island and ore docks and told of water thingy's and what they stand for also, and the Indians that used to be on Presque Isle etc. Very nice and I will listen even better next time! Way back we had good music playing and the day was so nice for us My feel were a bit wobbly but I stayed out on top deck for the whole trip. hate to be stuck in the cabin part. A bit like a very mild carnival ride somtimes. I told son, this is as much of a ride that I like anymore. Hated to find out my younger son was in town as I knew they went with family to see corn mazes etc. down by her mom's so they usually always stay there for the night and come back Sun. but they came back Sat. night and I didn't even check as I figured they were not home and I was Going on this boat! So would have been so nice to have those 2 with me but there will be a next time if I'm around Its closing this weekend for the winter so I just made it! Was an hr. and a half instead of the usual 2 hrs. And I got to see Josie before bedtime anyway once I heard they were in town. After going to eat with middle son. I wish I would have stayed in my camper in town for once this summer or Fall but thought of work so I came home and didn't get called in anyway. Long way home in the dark, got home around 9 pm. Only went up around 1 pm so....so i didn't get any other things done.
Di, glad all went well for your picnic also and you can at least relax a bit for now Thanks for opening and I'm all for starting again in Oct since I haven't made much progress. Seem to bloat up all the time these days.
Bama, I'm with you although not sure if my scale works very good as I heard something crack in it But I'll go by what it says and subtract hopefully from that
Even 10 min. on a TM is a lot to do.
Mo, I need to declutter a lot yet! Wish I had the muscles to move it out too! Just want to enjoy outside these days as I'll be stuck inside enough and I have done it too much this summer as it is Yes, I did get out and enjoyed the boat ride
Birdie, sounds like that couple are very committed already and sure are compatible!
To both love horses and all that work is very much a good start and loving all the animals together too! Hope that weather stays very nice for you all! Hugs from all the drama at your work!
Sue, lots of good wishes for your shopping trip and your Dr's visit also!!! Hope all turns out well You will finish all the cleaning even if you go a bit slower I'm sure. It will wait you know Love the leave's in your pic! Very pretty!
Well BBL as I better go and make something to eat and Dh is helping my older son with the wall over there. I kind of told him to please go and help Son had taken a Vacation day today off. I put garbage out and forgot it was tomorrow so had to go and get them back in Yah
One awesome article
And then an adorable kitten with Pizza LOL....a video and a story
Plus another one of a service dog and a kitten after the kitten with the pizza
Hi ladies,
Don't know if I can make an entire month sugar free, but I want to cut way, way back, and ditch the bread. I do want to get out and do more walking and hiking. I bought a little knee brace, but I don't think it's going to work well. It was all they had at Target. I'll look for something online. Hopefully DH will go get my hiking poles out of the trailer.Hooray for YAH! So happy you finally got to take the cruise and had a great day on the lake! I'm with you - do things outside while we can.
Beautiful day here and DH and I took a drive part-way up the Trail. The colors were gorgeous! We're in for clouds, wind, rain, and possibly a few flakes of snow this week. I need to get the rest of the veggies harvested.
I'd better sign off and get the dogs their supper. Have a great evening! I'm going to relax and watch The Voice. Did I mention that DH turned off the DISH receiver when we were out of town so my shows didn't record - grrrrr!
ok, I've put it on FB since my son did anyway, so may as well show my mug, or part of it to you ladies and you will believe I took the cruise right? I do wish I didn't have so much baby fat in my cheeks Seems like the last thing to go down and if I did lose a lot of weight, they'd probably just droop down right? Anyway, looking at Marq. going off in the distance and enjoy the nice blue waters in it!
I put garbage out when Dh was helping son out and had to bring it in as its Mon, and garbage is Tues.! So, starting off getting my days mixed up. Pretty nice day but didn't really go outside since I'm home I guess. Dh took my van also. Looks like a line of working days starting on Fri. if no call in Hopefully I get the l day in between each 2 days I work until the next weekend, and then I hope I don't have to work then. All mixed up I guess it will be for a while.
Barb, glad your getting out to see colors a bit anyway. They sure are coming out here but if it rains and the winds blow, they will come down to soon I think Sorry about the recording of shows. I'm not able to do that so I just go to Hulu.com for some of them.
Sue, loved the cat one and dog and cat also and sounds nice about the almost curing of that cancer to. Have a great trip tomorrow! Hope you all have nice evenings and some good sleeps! Yah
Made it home earlier today. Watching the game now. I will catch up and read post's tomorrow.
Good Morning all ,
Oh YAH, THE water is so beautiful . What a lovely time you had, I've sure.
Sue, hope your shopping trip is good for you.
Angii, glad to see you made it back.
Barb, A lot of times you can go to the stations website and catch the programs there. My son just gave up his cable and I haven't talked to him yet to see how it is working out. They like Sue use Netfix and with the cable companies going so high and only able to get one in our area it was just getting so high. This winter tho I wonder how it will work out for them. I believe more and more are getting rid of cable.
Well I need to get busy this morning so just saying hi to all.
Good morning ladies,
Welcome back Angii. Hope you had a nice time even if the weather wasn't so nice.
Glad you got to take a cruise and spend time with your family, YAH.
No pretty leaves here yet but they are coming soon, Barb. The weathermen are saying we should have nice color but so far mostly brown in our area because of the drought I guess. I don't even want to think about snowflakes but I think you like snow more than I do.
Birdie sorry to hear no progress with the union guys. Hope the wedding takes your mind off of things for awhile. Best wishes to the newly weds. They sound like a wonderful couple.
Hope your shopping and all goes well, Sue.
Glad your time in Ohio isn't so hectic this trip, Alabama. How was your shopping trip the other day?
Hope your diet change gives you a clue to your migraines, Molasses. The lady who sits next to me at church had a mini stoke the other day. She is okay now but they told her it was a problematic migraine that caused it. That's a frightening thought. She has been having a lot of medical issues so maybe there was more than the headache involved but that's what they are blaming.
Slept late this morning so I'm getting a late start. Bad Charlie horses in both thighs about 2:30 this morning then little ones in my calves between 5 and 6. I hadn't had any in a couple of weeks. Hope no more any time soon.
I went to the RFL planning meeting last night. They kept pushing me to take a committee position but I didn't commit to anything. I am not really sure that I want to be as involved in the planning this year. Especially not before I know more about what is happening with my knee. I don't want to commit to doing something and then not be able to follow through with it. I should know more by the next meeting and I'll decided then.
Guess I should go weigh myself so I am ready for a new month and Alabama's October challenge. Going to continue with being GF, drink mostly water and trying to do better with exercise. For October I am adding - no snacking after supper and no candy. I ate far to much chocolate in September, I became a Reese's Pieces addict.
Have a good day.
Happy October, everyone!
I had a filling replaced this morning, so I am numb up to my eyeball on that side. I had to take a triptan this morning, too, so I am feeling a little out of it between that and the novacaine, or whatever they use these days. I feel like napping, which is really rare for me.
Anyway, I am going to keep a food journal this month, not for tracking calories, but just to help see if there's a connection between what I eat and how I feel.
Dianna, I have read that having migraines increases a person's stroke risk, which is kind of scary, given that there's not a whole lot you can do about whether you are prone to them. I hope you won't let the RFL people make you feel guilty if you opt out of a committee position. Obviously it's a good cause, but sometimes you need to focus on other good causes, like your own health! Sorry about those Charlie horses, I hope you can figure out what is causing them so you can prevent them.
Bama, I am tempted to cancel our cable, just out of principle, because of the way they hike our cost by $30/mo. every year. My DH is such a football fan though, and I do like the cable internet. I keep thinking about writing to my congressman about collusion between the cable companies--we have Time-Warner, Optimum and Comcast around here, but they each have their own territory so there's no competition. I'm glad your DIL has a job that relieves you of baby-sitting duty, by the way!
Welcome back, Angii--hope you had a great weekend!
YAH, so glad you went on the cruise! It looks like you had a glorious day for it. And don't be too critical of a little fat in your cheeks--it keeps you looking young! I tend to be thin in my face and torso, and it adds years. I think being pleasingly plump makes us look older when we are young, but younger when we are old.
Did you take foliage pictures, Barb? I thought of you, Dianna, and Sue on Sunday when we ran across a bridge--the view was so pretty with the fog on the water, sure made me wish I were a photographer.
Good luck with your shopping trip, Sue. What kind of appt. do you have on Thursday?
Those long range forecasts are usually unreliable, Birdie, so I'll be hoping that holds for this weekend, too. Your niece and her soon-to-be-hubby sound like wonderful people, hope they get a day as nice as they deserve.
Well, I'd better get moving again here; I haven't done my workout yet so I'd best get to it.
Morning ladies. We had a fun time but we blew the motor on the race bike first round, in the burn out area.
We left here Wednesday night, made it to the rest area outside of Baker City OR about 9ish, crawled up in the camper and went to sleep. Then got up about 7, and continued on. We made it to SLC around 3:30 local time. We got all parked, leveled and set up by about 6. It was so windy that the wind was unsnapping the awning extension so we didn't use it. We ended up getting rained out on Friday, and as you all saw, it was cold. There was snow in the foothills around us. Saturday the sun was out and we were on to qualifying. Well first round went ok. We guessed wrong on the gear changes we made, so we adjusted for second round. However Cody forgot to turn the fuel on, so we didn't get to make a pass. 3rd qual was also just OK. Our lights were not very good, and the wind was awful. Sunday also was sunny, but you could see the storm rolling in. We got called to the lanes, and I started Cody like normal and he pulled into the burnout box. Then a chunk of metal came flying off the bike, We were done. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.515573981863054.1073741826.209324459154676&type=1&l=ee802dc9c0 Here is the link to some pictures. The pics of the motor are really bad as I was trying to get them in the camper laying on the floor around the tie down straps, But I did happen to get a pic of the metal chunk, and Cody's face which is priceless.
So we loaded everything up, and made our way to Boise. We thought about unloading the fuel tanks and bringing the bike home and trying to get it fixed, but after talking to our engine builder we knew that wasn't going to happen. Plus we would need to figure out how and what we would use for fuel to go back to Boise next week. So we just left it in the trailer and we will use the Busa at the Halloween race. We made it home about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. And now have a busy week and weekend getting ready to leave again.
Cody is going to help a friend move this week, and my Cousin will be here on Thursday. Plus we need to figure out how to get Dad to the VA, and all sorts of other stuff. So I will be back later with my goals and such as I need to get Dad up and moving.
Back again, I just got finished trimming some shrubs . Seems we trim when we leave and this time they grew about two feet . Still have two more to do and then he will take the Electric trimmer to a couple of them. I also got another 15 minutes on threadmill in and while outside my neighbor came over and we talked for a spell . She so wishes that we were here all the time which was nice of her to say. They are a little older than us and she is anxious for us to be here all the time so we can walk together. How nice I thought most everyone else on the street seems to be younger with children still at home.
Mo, I hate that when I go to the Dentist which I have an appointment the end of this month. He wants to do 3 crowns and I so don't want him to > I need to talk to him about that and see why I need them. Now days you only see the dentist for a few minutes unless he is actually working on you and then you can't talk to him. LOL.
I never answered you about the Shred diet I am thinking about . I had to renew the book today as I haven't gotten to finish it. He actually gives you a list of exercises and different foods to eat and to me it's easier to know what I am going to eat each day .
Yes, I do not have the Gkids as often as I did at first and that is ok with me. They are all In school and parents are all working days so it is working out for them . I do get the littlest one some over the weekends when her Mom takes an extra job on Saturdays. Alone they are ok but together look out. The older ones have friends which is good because until this year they did not have many . I too remember when at a certain age I no longer wanted to go to Grammas which I now regret not learning more about them but that is being young.
My shopping trip was ok the other day . It was a little out of the way which of course everything here is . I did get some khaki pants and a tee shirt for 2 50 . They are the lees brand so they were will worth that . They just had so much stuff that if would take hours to really look around at all. The Tee shirt still had the price tag on it which was 14.99 and that was a 1.00 so a good price on it.
Well Dh is ready to go out side again. So different here . In Bama you just load your clippings on the street in front of your house and they pick up . Here they all have to be bagged so that requires some extra cutting to make the clippings small enough to go in the bags.
One thing I'm figuring out in my Healthier Eating plan is that I need to think about my lunch ahead of time. I've gotten into a bad habit of just picking from breakfast till supper. Today I made quinoa and butternut squash for lunch, and now I just need to plan an afternoon snack for around 3. I basically have the same breakfast and supper most days, so it's just lunch and an afternoon snack that I need to think about.
I'm kind of the opposite, Bama--I usually can't follow a diet plan with a menu. Not eating meat makes it hard to do that, and not eating meat or gluten makes it about impossible. Sounds like you got a great deal on an outfit there! I feel the same way about my grand-parents. The time came when I preferred to go to my friend's house, and I regret that now.
I'm sorry about the bad luck with the bike, Angii. Sending hugs your way. Thanks for the link; I'm off to check out your pics before I need to get back to work here.
Good Day ladies! I know you like Betty Boop Bama I don't know if thats exactly her name now? Sounds weird A beautiful day out there up to 80 in places and I didn't go anywhere. If I was closer to the lake, I know I'd be there! Will have to enjoy what I can here i guess. Got garbage out on the right day anyway.
Di, maybe take some time off the committee or at least until you find out if you will have surgery sounds like a good plan. Hope your weather is good for you outside. I forget what I read as to helping keep those charlie horses away Hope you don't get them anymore.
Bama, sounds like fast growing shrubs there! I'm sure the older couple would like someone there more closer to their age also with no kids Just in case maybe also. Do they take care of their yard themselves or have help? Sounds like a great bargain there to!
Angii, nice pic's and wow, that sounds like a busy trip and more stuff to do until your off again! Hope you get to relax somewhere in between there But I know your enjoying yourself to.
Mo, hopefully those headaches stay away for you also and sorry on the numbness in your mouth now. Keeps me from eating for a while Thanks on the baby fat idea
Its funny also as sometimes I see more gray in my hair but in that pic it isn't so much I've never colored etc. it though and wouldn't do it anymore either. Must be the sun on it. I guess there's a glass bottom boat farther away that my son talked about also. Looks at shipwrecks etc. I guess. Maybe next?
Sue, hope all is well today for you also!
Barb, Birdie and all have a very nice day! Can't believe its almost 80 here but I'm sure it wouldn't last to long. BBL, Yah
I am with Duncan on this one...very sick....
Had a wonderful relaxing Sunday, so much so we slept a bit later, and lally-gagged around at the table after breakfast, and OJ too LOL just talking and stuff. Plus Buddy Max is loving the cooler temps as he has been very frisky, coming with his various ball toys and dropping them at the table for us to toss.
In any case Buddy and I had a great Tag Team Barbelly Sunday too. A wonderful day overall with of course, pasta for dinner, ice cream, of course and CharmedGate.
Monday started my new workout routine, got some calls made for meds, and then did the pictures in the dining room, and the walls in the dining room and hallway around the bookcases. Also took down the corkboard and wooden mail center we got years back that isn't a mail center any longer but does have a chalkboard on it too and we have important numbers on it for security here, the office and the call letters, dial numbers of the stations we listen too LOL
Monday night I got the 2 BIG bookcases in the hallway done and the mugs from my DMIL and tonight will do the other one in the dining room along with the trophies and knick knacks on their too. This will leave the wash area along with machines and the dining room table chairs and fan/light, along with the rest of the hallway walls, and the hall closet. Hope to finish it this week. Then start on the main bathroom on Saturday...we shall see...I have been tired as Chuck has thrown his back out again so doing double duty, plus my left knee ain't doing too well either. Such is life...oh and I won't get anything done on Thursday with my doctor appointment. So I will have to dust and vacuum tommorow and have to skip my morning workout, which I am NOT happy about.
Well today was the GROCERY STORE and not a lot of stuff, but IMPORTANT STUFF....AS WE GOT OUR ICE CREAM FOR THE MONTH LOL and IT WAS ON SALE.....and oooooohh ooooooohhhhhh they had the candy cane ice cream I got last year and Hot chocolate one too.....mmmmm good. Plus I got some mint chocolate chip ice cream (Buddy loves that one and the Candy Cane one too) and of course I got one of my new favs....the Peanut Butter ice cream.
Also got my dryer sheets, Mr. Clean, tall kitchen garbage bags and a new drinking water bottle. We will drink it and then fill it ourselves, it's a nice gallon size so we have water throughout the day and at night.
Got our 18 and 12 packs of eggs and the 18 pack was on sale for $2.50.....so we were happy campers. Unfortunately we won't go through 36 eggs before they go bad so no sense in buying 2 of the 18 pack. Plus 2 different dates too, 12 pack is earlier so will start with that one. Plus got our milk and the Sunny Select Munster cheese slices which is awesome and a pizza blend shredded cheese for those pizza's we plan on making LOL
And as we were walking past the one isle, Chuck saw some of those new light bulbs and they were 3 way ones. Pricey but we will eventually need them. I walked down further and said here are regular ones that are 3 ways 50-100-150 which we really needed as we don't have any left and none of the lamps we need them for have them in anymore because of it. Plus I need one for my light by my chair to see to do my nails and stuff! So did we luck out, they were only $1.49 each....so with what we saved on the ice cream since it was on sale...we got 3 packs...plus we still came in under what we had as a total by $6....so even happier campers LOL
So we did good. As for our rides....our pick up was the same older gentlemen we had last week that was early, but today he got here about 5 minutes before our window was over...hey they have 30 minutes, so be it. We picked up an older gentlemen we have picked up many times before not too far away and then he took u s to SaveMart. As for the ride home, we got the same younger gentlemen, Richie I believe his name is, we got at the close of window a while back at Savemart...today he was about 8 minutes late. I called and the gal said about 10 minutes and so he beat her numbers by 2 minutes LOL No biggie we sat on the bench and just waited. Nice out and breezy...in fact I bought my sweater and had jeans on...Chuck has his shorts and t-shirt on LOL
But he took u s right home so was still a good trip....we unloaded, I had to do Buddy's house as Chuck can't bend over and I have been taking Buddy out too since he can't bend over to pick up his "business"! In fact before we left after I got dressed I took Buddy out while he was still in the 'pit stop room' and Buddy did his stuff. So we were happy...always worry (especially with him older now) of him holding it when we got out. But he was good.
Then I did my other kitchen stuff, and other normal 'Sue jobs' we had lunch and then I cooked up my salmon for tonight, this way I can break it up and put it on top of it's bed of orzo/spinach mix I will be cooking up....mmmmm goood!
And to top off this very nice day......SHE'S BACK....THIS SUNDAY....YOU CAN SNIFF HER AGAIN.....YUP I GOT MY EXOTIC CHERRY BLOSSOM (NEW NAME THEY GAVE IT NOW) SO I WILL BE A SPRITZING AFTER I WASH AND USE MY CREAM....THEY ARE WILD CHERRY BLOSSOM AS THEY ARE SUAVE PRODUCTS, WHILE THE SPRAY IS BODYCOLOGY! ANYHOO I AM A VERY HAPPY CAMPER!
Now time for me to answer some mail and get the hand towels that just buzzed out of the dryer before we are off to the 3 C's.....of course Hunter on tap tonight and just deciding whether it will be Dawson's Creek, Miami Vice, or BH:90210.....decisions, decisions.....and of course after that yummy dinner, what better than a scoop of Speedy Tracks.
Hope you had a nice Tuesday,
Who knew it happens to dogs too!
Afternoon ladies. I didn't get much done today. I am still recovering from the trip. LOL My goals for October are to continue my shakes, and get Charger to the park at least 4 days a week as well as to get my water in every day. I will start tomorrow, and of course, the week we will be racing, I will be walking Charger all over the track, but not sure how good I will be about the water. However I will take my shake stuff for the trip. I didn't do my shakes yesterday and I am feeling it. LOL
I made an apt to get my hair done tomorrow! Then I plan on hiking with my cousin on Thursday.
Well I should go and get dinner started to DH can eat before helping a friend move.
Sue, sounds like a very good trip and so happy to hear about your cherry blossom stuff too! I know that makes you Very Happy! Fun cartoons there and it wouldn't be a pizza without the crust is right! Hope your evening is fun viewing and hope Chucks back will feel better soon to so you can also relax more.
Angii, may look a bit like Charger in my pic? Hope you get all that stuff done in the week! Enjoy your times having fun then to.
Very nice blue sky and sun day today, only wish I were by the lake of course. My DB stopped by for a little while as he was waiting for his son to get home from work to change tires on his truck he got from out west. Haven't seen him for a long time to.
He showed some pic's of out west on his phone also. I should have gone and raided their garden when they were gone! Lots of tomatoes and all Not sure who got them, maybe neighbors if they were still there.
Well, I got up early this morning since I woke up and looked at time so not sure what I will do tomorrow morning but still hoping no call in. Someone might want a nice weather day off though! you all have a good night sleep now! Yah
I am up at 4:30 again and I have no idea what to get into for another 3+ hours until DH wakes up. It's errand day today beside that not sure what the day will hold except prayer meeting tonight.
Supposed to be hotter(80's)for the next week. I like the crisp fall days much better. Still no rain in sight so I haven't been doing much yard work. I trimmed the plants back and weeded the big flower bed yesterday morning but the ground is too dry to divide and move plants. I wanted to dig up and replant some of the beds this fall but it isn't looking good for that. My fall to do list isn't getting done. Not too happy about that.
Nothing else going on here to speak of. Have a great day.
Good Morning Ladies,
Not much going on here also. I still or I should say We have a few shrubs to trim . DH playing golf and I am going up town for a while . I like to get out when he is gone cause I don't drive when he is around. I feel like I am losing out by not driving so every chance I get I take the car and go. Since he retired driving is far and in between .
I finished my workout for the day .
I know what you mean about driving, Alabama. I hardly drive at all anymore. I think I am at the use it or lose it point. I drove to my meeting Monday night and was a little nervous. It isn't that DH won't allow me to drive, he just drives when we go someplace together and I rarely go anyplace by myself. I've likely driven only 100- 125 miles in the past year. If I give up RFL committee it will be even less. I need to get out more.
Same here Di, DH just drives when ever we go anyplace. I actually only drive around 10 miles a week in Bama . Here I sometimes get little more as I usually have two days to my self. I too am a little nervous now behind the wheel Dh wants me to get out and drive BUT when ever we go togather he always drives.
Well today is usually my day to get out on my own for awhile but My DIL called and the GD is sick Soooo guess what I am doing. I have to admit that I almost cried (an old lady like me crying) when she asked if I would watch her. But what was I to do. She is now asleep in my bed . She has a sore throat but so far no fever. So I am just getting things caught up around here . But I will so miss my little time to be just ME!
A very nippy morning here and since hubby's back is still out I put my jeans, and light jacket on this a.m. to take the Budster out to do his 'business'...which luckily my little sweetie did fairly quickly! Very tired last night, so much so my first pit stop wasn't till after 5 a.m. this morning. LOL
Very sad day as Tom Clancy passed away....we can't believe it as we were just saying last night hubby wanted to get the book Clancy had out for Christmas...so sad...haven't said yet what happened but 66 isn't that old.
No workout this a.m. as I had to dust and will vacuum after breakfast since my Thursday when I normally do this I will be going to the doctor...I'd rather be home cleaning...
In fact, have to make up my list of questions and concerns today....so wish me luck.
Well I am off to check mail, other boards, breakfast, vacuuming, walking the rent check up, making up my questions and other stuff LOL
Good Day all! This is what you could see in Marq. but I did see some here also when I got up for bathroom, I think it may have been around 2 a.m, and looked out bathroom window and thought I saw some green up there, so I went outside, not to cold even, and sure enough, Northern lights were out! I only wish I would have got a chair and sat out for longer to see more. Tree's are closer around here but they were high up to so I saw some but if by a lake, I'm sure they saw a lot! I see Barb had some nice pic's on FB so she must have caught some nice pic's.
Very nice day again and cooling off a bit for the week but still nice today in 60's to probably 70. Boys go to do the kitchen floor etc. at 3 pm so I think I will go up town to see them before work. Hopefully the one in Marq. will come earlier to town as I hoped to see him before his long trip! So glad no work call in
Di, It took me a little while to go back to sleep since I was outside but I wish I would have stayed out there for a bit Hope you have a nice errand day and see some nice scenery to and you should drive more. Never know if you might be the one to end up driving more later? I guess you know I only drive myself anywhere If Dh went with me anywhere in my van, I'd drive
Bama, you too! Keep driving as you never know if your Dh will need a driver later on.
Sorry about not getting to go out on your own today though! MY DIL never asks me to watch Josie so I guess I wish she would sometimes. She has a babysitter that comes for Thurs. afternoon so she can go to the office that day. And her mom comes but since she has some shingles, hasn't for a while. I wish I lived a lot closer also.
Sue, Sorry about Chuck feeling bad yet and glad you got some sleep I heard that also about TC passing away and that is young, since I'm almost there He wrote some good books! Have a great day and take it easy a bit as you have to go running around maybe tomorrow.
Everyone out there, enjoy whatever you are doing today and I hope I kick myself out soon! Yah
Hi, all,
Seems like summer has returned! We are looking at 80+ through the weekend.
I went grocery shopping this morning. The new Weis store had some deals so I stopped there first and was thrilled to see they had young coconuts (not the furry brown ones). About a year ago, I looked everywhere unsuccessfully for those because I had a raw cookbook from the library that had several recipes that called for them. I bought two, and now have to figure out what the cookbook was, and check it out again. Although I'm sure I can find recipes to use them in online for something sweet and delicious without sugar or dairy.
My elimination diet is a little rough, can't wait for the two weeks to be over! Every bite has to be scrutinized for offending material. The only No No I'm allowing is the scoop of whey protein in my smoothie which should be out because of dairy. I may have to do a separate elimination test for that later, but I'll worry about that another day.
I got to review a post yesterday--my best guess is that it was flagged for containing the last name of a famous English author (A Christmas Carol). Which makes me think that if you mention anyone like Van Dyke, Clark, Van Patton, etc., your post is going to need approval!
Yes, as YAH mentioned, the aurora was out in full force last night and it was spectacular! Best I have ever seen (and photographed). We went out about 9:30 and came home close to 2:00 am -- and they were still out. I watched them for a bit in the front yard, but I was really fading and my back and feet were killing me from standing on the boat ramp for four hours. I have lots more to process, but this is just a quick sample. I have never seen the corona (or vortex) directly overhead. The second image is looking straight up and the lights were pulsing beautifully. Ahhh, this is one of the reasons I moved up here. Too bad that we are at solar max this year, which runs in an 11-year cycle.
Anyway, last night was a rare treat, and I am grateful since it's now cloudy and we are expecting rain for the next 5 days.
Reminds me of my white pigeon and the colors are nice here to!
Barb, awesome pic's for sure! I only wish I was by the lake for more cause I don't usually get to see much here but knew that since I could see some, must be nice elsewhere. If it doesn't get cloudy later on, will be checking tonight. Hopefully no call in but if I'm tired, it will be worth it Wow they sure were flashing away hey? Glad you got out there for that night! Now rest your feet
Mo, you have more will power than me as I wish I could drop a lot of different foods but not sure when it will click for me. Two weeks will go by fast I hope for you and I do hope you find what the trouble food is also Starting to cool off here finally starting tomorrow maybe. Has been just perfect for over a week now.
Went to farmer's market finally in this little town for 4:30 pm. Well, I guess the last one was last week So no tomatoes this yr. I guess. Saw the sons before they left for work and watched an old movie on tv and had the cats outside and then came home.
I forgot my camera so I hope to get out and take some pic's tomorrow whether I get called in or not. Forgot my water bottles to. So am home now and so far its clear out there so everyone have a very good evening and sleep great also! Thinking of you Sue for tomorrow's ride and Dr's also Yah
Wow, awesome pictures, Barb. I don't know that I can say that I have ever seen the Northern Lights. It must be breath taking to see them like you do.
Yah, have fun with your camera. I have to say I've gotten away from doing much with mine. Not sure why, because I thought photography would become a retirement hobby. But then I haven't been doing anything as hobby or form of relaxation. Just haven't been in the mood I guess.
Hope your shopping trip went well, Sue. DH had a ton of extra stops to make on our errand day yesterday so it went a little longer than normal. He also had a bunch of extra things for the list so we spent more then I'd hoped to spend. He shops differently than I do. He is a sale and stock up shopper and I am more of a don't buy it unless it needs to be bought now shopper. I am not sure which way is best money wise. It likely balances out in the long run.
Way to go in the challenge Molasses and Alabama. So far so good for me but I am struggling with some items. Tonight will be a test to see if I can stay out of the kitchen after DH leaves for band. I am telling myself no grazing the entire evening, a cup of tea is my limit. We'll see how that goes. I'll have to find a project that keeps my hands busy so I can't eat. Alone time turns into an eating fest for me.
Hi Birdie and Angii. Guess you'll both be traveling again soon. Have fun and safe travel.
Have a good day all.
Good Morning all,
Errand day for us .
Di, we are just the opposite than you and your DH . I am the stock up when on sale kind of shopper and he is the don't buy unless or until needed.
I am already looking for a Christmas present . Can you believe. So that is on the list today plus lawn mowing and hoping it doesn't rain so we can get it done.
My GD watch TV most of the Day yesterday only came out to eat and tell me she was bored. I said well you are sick so you should stay in bad. LOL. She did most of the day. I don't really think she was sick. They had Scouts the nite before and did not get home until 10 she has to get up at 5 30 for latch key and her school doesn't start until 9 so it is along morning for her. Any way it all worked out .
Barb, I too have never seen the Northern lights only heard about them in different movies or tv shows. Wow is all I can say. Really beautiful . Thanks for sharing them with us.
I too always thought being a photographer would be neat . Never got around to doing anymore than thinking about it .
Well I am keeping up with my 30 day challenge with the Leslie DVD plus no sugar and no bread. DH wants Burgers on the grill tonite so I will just have one without bread . Put it on a plate with tomato , onion etc.
Tomorrow nite will be the test as we will be going out and usually the places we go to have sandwiches I will figure it out . Maybe a salad.
Time to hop in the shower.
Really amazing pictures, Barb. DH was skeptical that they were real and not photoshopped!
Beautiful picture of the fall colors and the white bird, YAH. I think it's less willpower than it is planning--I just have to plan ahead what I can have, and everything else I tell myself I can eat in 2 weeks! Sorry about the farmer's market closing.
I'll be sending supportive thoughts to you tonight, Dianna. Maybe make your tea in a thermos before DH leaves and then make the kitchen off-limits till he comes back? I'm sure you'll think of something that works for you.
Bama, glad your GD is back to school today, and you didn't make it so much fun for her that she's tempted to make it a habit! Hope you can find something on the menu tomorrow that you like that doesn't involve bread.
Glad you got your cherry blossom, Sue! I'm sure you have your list of questions all done up and ready to go. Good luck with your appointment; hoping you get nothing but good news!
Enjoy your visit with your cousin, Angii.
Still holding good thoughts for you, Birdie.
Good....Afternoon I guess now! Just got over the 12. Rained some last night so I figured no Lights outside Nice right now but not all blue so not sure whats coming for today but I see the humidity went from 60's to 94% today, just in time for my working days With the little chance of rain etc., thats what it does I guess. Hard to get back to work after so many days off and lots of days on now. Just so glad no call in's.
Stray or other home's cat was just at patio door. Jade was eating and kept mumbling loudly while eating, figuring that it was going to come in and eat her food
Dh went up town and got a little part so he can finish putting on his another oil pan etc. on his old plow truck. He finally found one from my old washer's Dh who has a bunch of old and antique nice vehicles Plus old junkers also for that part. Their always in parades etc. with their nice ones like the '62' chevy truck. My Dh's plow truck is a 94 I think. Neighbors by his garage are all gone and wanted to give him key to house but he just said he'd put their mail in their garage. They changed their locks so the other, bit crazy one's, wouldn't try to go in anymore as he was afraid to ask for the key back. Gone toward MN. I guess. Guess their l son and DIL and baby are going to stay with them for the winter.
Di, I just have a little not very new camera but get enough out of it Get the pic's on my computer but haven't figured out how to get them elsewhere So I used up the battery on the boat trip and I recharge it then Course it doesn't take far away pic's like the Northern Lights Just have fun with it and I would take pic's of your beautiful yard for one thing! Or your stray cat? Is it around there yet?
Bama, nice sitting job there since she had to stay put a bit But if she wasn't sick, you could have enjoyed being outside then right? Or having fun with one of them there only. I don't seem to go shopping at all lately besides those stupid groceries! So I get a big pack of tp or paper towels etc. when on sale there. I just ordered online from Walmart again since I don't even get there. Mostly my MidNIte pills and Balance bars for work Hope your feeling a lot better to? Maybe you'll see some norhtern lights in Ohio at the right time? The other day, they could be seen pretty far south I read.
Di, maybe go through a box of paper stuff or? and then you wouldn't want to eat while doing that right? Course I'm thinking of finger foods I Will have to watch it tonight so my sleep pills can work earlier!
Hi to everyone else out there and hope your day goes super great! BBL, Yah
We had to take Molly to the vet for her 6 month follow up test after being treated for Lyme Disease. On the way home DH suggested we stop at a county park and take her for a walk. So we got an nice 45+/- minute walk in. Plus we went inside of the fenced ball field and left her run off lease for the first time since we've had her. She thought it was great to run free. I have a feeling we may have broken the park rules since we saw a pets prohibited sign as we were leaving. Oops, guess we won't do that again.
Molasses, I imagine you've seen the northern lights growing up on the Range! I did a few minor adjustments in Photoshop, brightening up, adjusting the clarity, etc., but that's about it. The camera sees things that we cannot. Mostly what we saw was white, with a little red, but you definitely see the movement, waves, pulsing, etc.
Dianna, I'm sure Molly had a wonderful time! I would love to let my guys run, but they just aren't trained off-leash and we don't have any fenced dog parks up here. A few of my friends let theirs run in the woods, but I would be afraid to do that. Our street can get kind of busy too, and they have no street sense.
YAH, you can e-mail photos off to lots of places and they will print them for you. I'll have to do some research, but I know Shutterfly is one, and probably Walgreens, Walmart, etc.
I had one of those "should have" days today. Felt kind of crummy because of the antibiotic I'm on, so I didn't get much done other than paying bills. DH came in and said all the neighbors had pulled their gardens up so I went out and pulled a big bag of carrots, picked the few little peppers, pulled something else up that is either a large green onion, but it's almost as big as a small leek -- oops! DH came out and pulled some weeks and raked one bed for me. He also hacked out a bunch of stuff that we have no idea what it was. There is a large bed in the side yard that I think is full of some kind of flowering mint, random dill, and some other kind of grass or something. The bees were still working the mint, but DH pulled the other stuff. I want to dig it all out and plant a small ornamental tree and put some flowers under it.
Dogs are barking, DH taking a short nap and I have a ton of carrots to do something with. Better get at it. See you later!
Well it was a lovely Handyride trip as the pick up was right at the end of the window and it was a driver we really like. Just can't remember his name since we haven't had him in a very long time. But a nice warped sense of humor and a really nice guy. He was telling me he almost died, and had to go to Emergency a while back with a very high temp and kidney issues. So glad he is alright....scary. The lady already on the bus was very nice also and had a lovely jean skirt on, unfortunately from a store no longer in business. We picked up another gentlemen and then off we went. Dropped the lady off and then the gentlemen and off we went to my appointment downtown. He helped me off the bus and then waited while I walked up and into the building...so nice as many of the drivers just take off.
I went to tell the gals I was there as I was a half hour early, plus now we need a key to go to the bathroom so had to get that too. As usual it was freezing in their office, so I told them I was off to the chairs by the elevator and just got settled and got a couple pages read in my book when Maria yelled down the hall for me LOL and I yelled back, I'm coming....so got all my stuff assembled and off I went. My scale at home is right on target as I was 122.2 with all my clothes on there and 122 at home. Cristal laughingly said "it's the jacket" and I said no I actually took it off at home and it was the same" but then after I got home I realized we only have a digital and no tenths....so maybe it was LOL ...who cares!
Cristal took me to my room and I did ask her if she could wait to take the BP and so she did and took my temp instead and it was normal and she asked if I wanted to get my flu shot, and I surprisingly said "you do that now" as they hadn't before but then they didn't have a primary doctor before...so I was happy as I got it done and don't have to sit in Walgreen's after I get my tests to do it.
She took my BP before she gave me the shot she came back with and considering I was nervous, it wasn't too bad 138/84
Then we no sooner finished and my doctor opened the door and Cristal said she was done and so I went through my list with her about my bruising more and them lasting longer too and she said she will do a test. When I did mention the clotting factor Chuck mentioned to me...she said let's see how the platelets are first.
Then the swollen feet (Shrek feet as Donna calls them...gal in the same office who is also on the drug).
My doctor said that only 10% of the patients are bothered by it and then I told her that the right foot will go down but the left stays swollen around the ankle a lot longer.
She said her solution is to stop the amolodopine and go on something else. Long story short she is increasing my one BP med and I will try the water pills this time, since the last time I was in my teens and since I thought it was them and it wasn't but was the double dosage of the Diovan. So we shall see.
As for the ride home my bestest buddy and pal Elaina came to pick me up, and got out and helped me up and off we went. Had a great chit chat and then picked up another gal...came around the corner and she was waved down by a guy and he said he was off to county and was getting picked up at 3 p.m. and Elaina checked and said it looked like she had it and would see him later and he yelled he friended her on FB! She's one of our favorite drivers.
I did call Cristal when I got home with the number for pharmacy to call as I told her I would (she probably already has it since she has called in my meds before) but whatever. She also asked about some stuff Chuck is doing so I gave her the websites too.
Also discussed the colonoscopy and got that settled as I want to do as an outpatient at the hospital and that is something I need to do as she can't and then to find someone to take me. So we shall see.
She also gave me my referral sheet to get both my mammogram and blood tests too. So all in all a good day.
Chuck said he would prefer to handle the BPs rather than the doctor anyway.
I did ask my doctor since I won't get the meds from the pharmacy for about a week to continue as I was and she said yes...so wish me luck.
Just finished the 3 C's and now off to a nap...woke up tired this a.m., as I had to take an allergy pill last night, which was why I didn't get my workout in and am bound and determined to get tonight's in.
Finishing off our yummy frittata tonight and having a nice slice of lemon cake along with finishing off the last 2 episodes of Leverage....love that show! Gonna miss it, we have it on our buy list for the future.
Hope you had a good day and same for tonight, I have lots to catch up on which I hope to do on Sunday as we have cooking tomorrow and I am bound and determined to get the dining room finished and the hallway done.
Just wanted to say Good Morning and didn't try to start new one for today Its cooler right now but I see the humidity is in 90's again. Had a good sleep anyway so hope it counts for something! Have to go make something to eat as time goes by to fast when on here Have a very great Friday today everyone!! Yah

Whenever I cook at home, I always find myself drawn to Italian recipes. With their comforting flavors and often simple, yet quality ingredients, I usually have a hard time justifying another type of cuisine.
I recently snagged a copy of celebrity chef Fabio Viviani's cookbook, Fabio's Italian Kitchen, and immediately fell in love with several of the recipes. I first met Fabio several months ago when I interviewed him for Today's Chicago Woman. I was instantly blown away by how down to earth, kind and sharp he is, and we have since become friends.
Fabio has been spending a good deal of time in Chicago, since opening his restaurant, Siena Tavern, which he owns with partners at the DineAmic Group. It is fabulous, and if you haven't been, call now for a reservation – rumor has it they are sold out through September!
Fabio is a perfect example of how good things happen to good people. His success is well deserved, and not only due to his culinary talents, but equally because he is a great person and kind to everyone around him. As I flipped through the cookbook's pages, gazing at one mouth-watering dish after the next, I didn't know where to start. The common theme in his book, and perhaps in most Italian cooking, is the overall simplicity and approachable nature of the recipes. In the end, I chose to make Chicken with Marsala Sauce, and after one bite, my boyfriend said, "This is the best dish you've ever made." Thank you to Fabio for not only sharing his cookbook, but for making me look good, too!
Chicken Marsala from Fabio's Italian Kitchen:
2 tbsp. butter
1 sprig thyme
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup oyster or shitake mushrooms, sliced (I used shitake)
Salt and pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups flour
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup sweet Marsala wine
¼ cup heavy cream
Melt the butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the thyme and let it heat through, then add the garlic and the sliced mushrooms. Season the entire pan with salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms begin to brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, pound the chicken breast with a mallet until they are about ½-inch thick. Dredge each chicken breast with flour and shake off the excess.
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a separate nonstick pan. Add the floured chicken breasts and cook them for about 2 minutes on each side. Add the wine to the pan and let it start to reduce, then add the mushroom, garlic and thyme mixture to the chicken pan, along with the heavy cream. Cook over medium heat until the cream has reduced and thickened. Remove the chicken from the pan and serve topped with the remaining sauce.
This recipe was taken directly from Fabio's Italian Kitchen by Fabio Viviani. Copyright © 2013, VF Legacy, LLC. Published by Hyperion in April 2013. Available wherever books are sold. All Rights Reserved.

1 large onion, sliced
2 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin roast
1 cup hot water
1/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash hot pepper sauce, or to taste
Fantastic! I bought a roast from M&M meat shops, and defrosted it. I put potatoes in the bottom, covered by an onion, the roast over that, and filled in the sides of the slow cooker with baby carrots. I poured the sauce over top and left it alone. It was FANTASTIC!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone. The pork was tender and juicy. The vegetables were done to perfection!
I couldn't give this a 5 rating because I more than tripled the seasonings (specially the garlic), and I cut back a little on the sugar/ketchup (which is already pretty sweet). I also cut the vinegar in half. Basically, I used your ingredients and then modified them to our taste. I read the reviews and most of the people whorated it low complained that is was bland. I learned from a friend on this site (sdk999) that when you cook in a slow cooker you have to increase your seasonings and I have to agree.

Loved it!! Made it exactly as written. Wouldn't change a thing. I pierced the roast with a fork MANY times so the flavor would soak in. Wonderful!
We really enjoyed this, and how convenient it is! I scrubbed some small red potatoes and put them in the pot whole with the pork, steamed some asparagus to go with it, and voila, an easy and healthy dinner. I made two very minor changes to the basic recipe. I used raw sugar instead of white, and substituted some chili infused vinegar for the red wine vinegar. This is one of those really good basic recipes that you can make so many little changes to and use over and over again. I'm going to try using hoisin, then teriyaki, in place of the ketchup to see how they change the taste.
I read a few of the different reviews and found them helpful. I cut the roast into four pieces and browned them. From there I followed the ingredients listed in the original recipe and added about 5 red potatoes. I quartered the potatoes and tossed them on top of the roast pieces. I set the slow cooker for 5 hours on low. This is a keeper!
This was a winner, & I found it so easy to prepare. A great meal for hot weather as you use the crock-pot I used a small pork roast--about 1-l/2 pounds-- better fit for my small slow-cooker, & it turned out great. I sliced it and served it on hamburger buns with some of the onions that were cooked with meat, added some barbecue sauce & mustard - & voila! …Hot pork sandwiches! PS: A note of caution—the meat comes out of slow cooker pale, so if you want it to look brown, better brown it in a pan before putting it into the crock-pot. I didn't do this, but I added teriyaki sauce and later some barbecue sauce over the top to get it "browner"….& of course, those things added to the overall flavor.
Husband loves this recipe. I used pork chops instead of roast. I used balsamic vinegar instead red wine and it gave it a nice zip. I also doubled the recipe for the sauce in order to make a nice gravy. A+++ recipe a favorite in my house.
This was a very moist Pork Roast I have ever made & tasted. I shredded the leftover and we had Barbeque Sandwiches the next day meal. I just use the juice from roast and add Barbeque sauce and heat them together, It was just about as good as the Roast.

January 8, 2013
Was kinda hoping for a little bit more out of this dress. I don't find it the best material Bebe has offerend, and was a little more snug than I anticipated.
December 9, 2012
very cute, but runs small
Sexy but very tight! I will be exchanging for a size L.
December 8, 2012
Great color and style
Great dress and wondeful material. My only complain is that the dress is a little tight in the middle. It's loose and comfy in the arm and chest area but seems to get way tighter in the middle. Other than this it's a great dress! :)

The perfect antidote to pricey resort golf, this affordable municipal course lies tucked away in a lushly tropical county park on Key Biscayne. The unspoiled natural setting—replete with palm trees, white and red mangroves and a dazzling assortment of waterfowl—belies its proximity to downtown Miami, a mere fifteen-minute drive away. A number of holes offer mesmerizing views of the city skyline across Biscayne Bay. Originally opened in 1972—the work of Robert von Hagge and Bruce Devlin—Crandon Park, the name commonly used for the course, hosted a Champions Tour event for years, entertaining the likes of Chi Chi Rodriguez, Lee Trevino and Gary Player. The layout received a thorough redesign (courtesy of von Hagge) in the early nineties following Hurricane Andrew. From the championship tees, it can play as long as 7,300 yards, with a whopping 145 slope, and includes a collection of par fives ranging from 555 to 638 yards. The layout features numerous doglegs as well as tons of sand and water. But the biggest challenge may be securing a tee time, as reservations are taken only five days in advance and discounts for Dade County residents make the course extremely popular.
6700 Crandon Boulevard, Key Biscayne; 305-361-9129, miamidade.gov/parks. Yardage: 7,301. Par: 72. Slope: 145. Architects: Robert von Hagge and Bruce Devlin, 1972. Greens Fees: $58–$148.
It seems that no golf trip is complete, at least in the eastern United States, without a dose of Donald Ross, and The Biltmore is a poster child for the phenomenon. Built alongside the ornate 1920s-era hotel of the same name, the course rings with history. Thanks to a renovation in 1992, it also remains a viable test. Short by modern standards, the holes nonetheless pose their share of intrigue in the form of Ross's uncanny bunker deployment and baffling green contours. The number-one handicap hole, the 406-yard par-four seventeenth, plays into the prevailing wind and requires an approach over a stream to a green perched above a bulkhead. Still, this is a true resort course: Most of the fairways are wide enough for snowbirds to swing away. The Biltmore also happens to be walkable, and a high proportion of golfers opt to play it on foot. Even the housing that lines parts of the course—mostly palatial and well- landscaped Old Florida–style homes—lends a measure of charm. The course accepts public play and has a local membership as well, so be sure to book early.
1210 Anastasia Avenue, Coral Gables; 305-669-9500. Yardage: 6,800. Par: 71. Slope: 126. Architect: Donald Ross, 1925. Greens Fees: $85–$175.
A more recent golf heritage belongs to the South course at Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club. The layout, a rather benign Robert Trent Jones Sr. eighteen that opened in 1971 (along with a more modest sister course, the North), is being redesigned by Raymond Floyd as part of a renovation of the entire resort; closed during the project, Turnberry Isle reopens on December 15. Although the South course stretches to more than 7,000 yards and water looms on all but four of the holes—most famously at the island-green par-five eighteenth—the layout lacks some of the penal aspects (encroaching fairway bunkers, well-guarded greens) commonly associated with Jones. Still, the South is stern enough to have hosted professional tournaments including the 1980 Senior PGA Championship, won by Arnold Palmer. The resort holds a place in golf lore as the site where the idea for a senior circuit (long before its rechristening as the Champions Tour) was hatched.
19999 West Country Club Drive, Aventura; 305-933-6929, fairmont.com. Yardage: TBD. Par: 71. Slope: TBD. Architect: Robert Trent Jones Sr., 1971. Greens Fees: TBD.

Why should you belong to the ITF?
In the past, many Taekwon-Do practitioners belonged to the ITF because they recognized the authority of the Founder of Taekwon-Do, General Choi Hong Hi, and wanted their Black Belt certificates to bear his signature. General Choi is no longer with us, and your ITF team now have the responsibility of carrying on his work. However, we cannot legally issue Black Belt certificates bearing his signature, since he cannot certify promotions.
The ITF of today represents continuity the legacy of our Founder and quality. Black Belt certificates are earned according to well-defined criteria, after fair evaluation and both theoretical and practical exams. There is more emphasis on the study of the Taekwon-Do philosophy developed by General Choi and on its application in the students life. We are introducing a requirement for community service and a written thesis for promotion to 7th degree and higher. The new policy about the requirements for promotion was approved at the recent ITF Board Meeting and will be published soon.
Enhanced Services to Members
As I wrote in my last message, I think we can be proud of what has been accomplished over the past year. We have made great progress in providing quality services to ITF members and will continue to expand the range of services offered.
Some of the things we are working on:
Quality of Teaching of Taekwon-Do
The ITF ensures the quality of teaching in ITF-affiliated schools and offers training and support for teachers. Requiring a teaching license for each individual teacher (rather than for each school) is a way to ensure the quality of teaching. In addition, candidates for promotion to 4th degree Black Belt and higher must participate in at least one International Instructors Course during the waiting period before promotion to each degree.
Our goal is better quality teaching, which will lead to more successful Taekwon-Do schools with increased revenue and a better quality of life for teachers.
Some of the things we are working on:
National Associations
The structure and responsibilities of National Associations (and Allied National Associations) are now well-defined. Guidelines and policies are now in place and apply to all ITF-affiliated organizations. This required a lot of work, but we now have a workable structure in place.
Some of the things we are working on: :
Our goal is to help the NAs and AAs so that eventually they will be able to provide assistance to the regional and local organizations.
Other Activities
We are working on the business plan for the international development of the ITF.
The members of the Standing Committee for Communications have been approved by the Board of Directors. I believe that Mr. Jean-Marc Demers, an expert in this field who has accepted to chair this committee, along with the other members of this committee who represent the different continents, will develop many interesting projects. Two important Communications files are:
The next issue of ITF Magazine will be available at the World Cup in Orlando (Florida) in November. This issue will contain detailed information about all the aspects of the organization that the ITF team has been working on, including our vision for the future, the new structure, revised methods of operations, and new member services. This issue was conceived so that it can be used as the official ITF presentation document by NAs and other ITF-affiliated organizations. Master Pablo Trajtenberg, ITF Senior vice president is in charge for this file.
A contest to find a slogan for the ITF will soon be announced. We want to choose an excellent slogan that will clearly communicate our vision for the future and the dynamic nature of our organization. Watch for details.
And finally, here are a few photos of my recent travels:

Marge Gielczewski, of Orland Park, laughs as the wind blows her hair while waiting for a Metra Train at the Oak Park Avenue station in Tinley Park, Illinois, Monday, February 11, 2013. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun-Times Media
Updated: February 11, 2013 4:04PM
A wind advisory has been extended in the Chicago area as strong winds are expected to continue into the evening.
The wind advisory will now be in effect until 6 p.m. for northern Illinois, including Cook, DuPage, DeKalb, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties, according to the National Weather Service. The advisory had been in effect until only 4 p.m.
A wind advisory means sustained winds of 30 to 39 miles per hour or gusts between 45 and 57 miles per hour are likely, according to the weather service.
Winds of that velocity can cause minor property damage and cause driving difficulties, especially for taller vehicles, the weather service said.
The wind is expected to continue into the early evening, when scattered snow flurries are possible, according to the weather service.

custy reviews
for the Keen Men's Targhee II Shoe
Average Custy Rating:
(based on 17 reviews)
Awesome shoe! But, I just couldn't find the right size...I have a couple of other pair of Keen shoes, and usually wear a men's size 10 in the brand. However, even the size 10 in this one seemed really too tight across my foot, especially compared to other Keen models. It may just be me on this one, who knows. I usually order a standard D width and have never gone to a Wide. I will need to send these back, not due to quality, but simply due to the fact that I can't make them fit.
I shopped around about a half dozen stores for a good pair of hiking shoes. Came across this pair of Keen's and selected it over the Merrill Sight because of the additional waterproof feature. Shoe provides great traction on slippery slopes and is durable so far.
This shoe is great, its very light, which is nice compared to some other clunky boots. They're completely waterproof and i've definitely tested that out. They look to be a little wider which is nice for people with a little bigger foot like mine, and also adds some more surface area for climbing a little more......vertical path! Love em!
Santa left me a pair of these under the tree...smart man! Excellent for light hiking or just everyday foul weather. I based the shoe size on my running/trail running shoes rather than casual work type shoe size and the size was perfect. Super comfortable!
Although a college student, I find time to go backpacking at least twice a month. I would not take any other shoe but the Targhee II. Very lightweight for its durability and excellent waterproofing that has stood up to many hikes through mud, creeks, and rainstorms - always keeping my feet dry and breathing incredibly. I also wear these shoes around campus and find them the most comfortable shoes to walk in no matter what the conditions or the time of year. If you are on the fence about this shoe, don't think for another second. They will last you for years if you take care of them, making their durability better than any other shoe out there of comparable price and characteristics.
When I sought out my new hiking shoes, I looked specifically for a sturdy waterproof shoe with good ankle support. After trying on a bunch of shoes I found a solid shoe that was not only what I was looking for but was comfortable to wear. The leather obviously takes a while to break in. The back strap ankle and heel support made the shoe very stable and I tore through the Black Hills in my new Keens! I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone who not only wants to trek out and adventure, but look damn good doing it too.
I use these for sailing and absolutely love them. It drains water freely, and doesn't hurt my feet after two hours of sailing. The only cons are I feel they are a little loose and I have to cinch the strings tight and they aren't the most stylish with the big black rubber toe guard (but it works). Would definitely buy this shoe again.
I have had these for just under a year now, and have been pleased with how they performed. They are really comfortable (awesome wide toebox), and the rubber toecap is a plus! I have used these for everyday wear and for a dayhike here and there. The waterproof liner works great and have kept my feet dry on many occasions... my only complaint is the lack of durability on the sole (the right, front, inside cleats have separated from the midsole). I submitted a claim to keen this weekend and hopefully they will replace them! overall great shoe! good buy
These keens are great shoes. I have worn a pair out hitting the trails of Costa Rica and walking the streets of Europe. Perfect all around shoe from trail to city. Comfortable, watertight, good grip and great support. I tend to go through a pair of these a year. When I trade them out the primary surface wear is on the soles. The tops are still solid (beaten and bruised but still stitched together) while the soles are worn through and nearly slick.

Not all airplane seats are created equal, no matter what class you're flying. Legroom and recline space can mean the difference between flying in style and flying on 500 mg of Vicodin.
Thankfully, there's SeatGuru, a website providing info on every seat in every plane of every fleet.
First, check your ticket for airplane type, then consult SeatGuru's seating charts. Simple, color-coded guides reveal which seats are good (green) and which ones to avoid (red). Contact your airline by phone or website to select a new seat, or wait until check-in.
Grizzled road warriors rely on the site for guidance on electrical outlet availability, video screens, and proximity to galleys and restrooms.
SeatGuru can't guarantee who's sitting next to you — Eva Mendes or the fourth runner-up from last season's "Biggest Loser" — but it will help you find a spot with enough room to let you sleep or work in peace and comfort. Unless Eva has a better idea.

The rain we dodged during
the game last night at Camden Yards is now pounding our charter plane as we get
ready to take off for Detroit. As I peer out the window from Row 4, Seat A,
I become a little reflective in reliving the rather miraculous five-run rally
we mounted in the seventh inning against the Orioles which snatched victory
from the jaws of defeat. Yes, it was
only one win, but I've learned over the years that this is the type of stirring
comeback that can galvanize a team.
Ron Romanick,
our personable bullpen coach, said as much while we were chatting on the bus to
the airport. "These are the kind of games
that can make a team closer," he said, looking a little wilted from the Maryland humidity. Our
guys knew this was a big opening series to the road trip, with Detroit
and Boston
looming, it was critical that we won this series. With the team trailing 5-2 after seven
innings in the rubber match tonight, the script wasn't exactly going as
had been some good signs surface in the game, though, as two hitting droughts came
to a merciful end. Gabe Gross snapped a personal 52-game homerless streak with a
two-run bomb to straight away center field and Mark Ellis drilled a sharp single to center to halt a 0-for-16
dry spell. Yet, things turned south in the
seventh when Tyson Ross was summoned in relief

dramatic win that could propel us to better times ahead. If we're still in the playoff hunt come
September–certainly a worthy goal for this still young and developing team–I
suspect we will look back to May 27 and the night we dodged thunderstorms and certain
defeat by coming off the deck to win like champions. Perhaps it was an early sign that the tide is
turning for Oakland
A's baseball and our young boys are becoming men. Of course, as the old baseball adage goes, I
can't get too high after wins or too low after losses. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
