YEAH JT I think you're right. I'll have to wait until the next time I go very short, and do it then. My hair was very short and now I'm growing it a bit longer (medium bob is my goal and it's almost to the bottom of my ears.) I should have done it this summer when it was very short. I almost did, but chickened out. I swear they'll bury me and I'll be like Lucille Ball and have stop light red hair! Bob kind of wants me to grow it out b/c he says he's tired of people thinking he's older than I am (I'm 8 yrs older.... but he has the MOST BEAUTIFUL white temples and sideburns which he's convinced makes him look older... and it probably does but it looks distinguished too!) And OMG I thought you were falling asleep in the car as you DROVE and I was gasping!!
BECKY it's weird. Yesterday i didn't focus on 0 point foods though I did have eggs and salsa for bkfst but then I had pork chops, ham sandwich, etc and I WAS STARVING b/c of that. I still don't have the right balance, but I knew only eggs was not going to cut it. I was just so FILTHY from planting and spreading that black mulch that I didn't want to come inside until i was ready to shower so I skipped lunch, or snacks or even anything to drink. I still have a headache but I feel a heck of a lot better. I'll get back on my "diet" tomorrow but today I'm having whatever I think will make me feel better. Sushi is not very high in calories. Just raw fish, a few veggies and rice. Heck if not for the rice it would be mostly zero!! LOL And I did just take some Benefiber just in case. W/ my gut issues, getting backed up is NOT on my agenda.
I'm showered and ready for bed. I'll head in there and finish a book. I found (my DD's recommendation) a good mystery writer who also has literary merit. Very well written and evokes mood and ambiance well. In fact either PBS or BBC had a series based on these books called VERA but I haven't seen it. The author is Anne Cleeves. And I like that the protagonist is a Detective Inspector (Vera Stanhope) who is an older heavy set woman. She's very flawed but very smart. My kind of GAL!!
Hope SUZE arrived safely in Comfort.
G'night girls.

Not sure what my plans are. Just remembered no seeds, corn, etc for colonoscopy. Ate lots of popcorn yesterday. Oops. Oh well.

Good morning,
Stayed up too late, but had to set the alarm to get up. I'll be working in the nursery later at church. Guess this will teach me and ask her for now on. A is at the age where her little social life is blooming. She'll go to the church where she & Z were dedicated and then dropped at home. My plans for the day (y'all know it's not all going to go how I want)....church, pick up curbside at WM, bank, home to work on lessons & school stuff for the week. Laundry did not get done yesterday, so that will happen today.
Celeste, yes, you have to be much more careful now. Take care of yourself.
Sandy, good topic. Wish I could make myself do that more & keep my temper in check.
Rained here yesterday. Y'all have a great day. BBL.

CELESTE my intention was to cut off some length, start adding grey highlights and let my grey grow out, but after getting this shorter do I decided not to...at least for this month, lol.

OH YUCK LOUISE on the colonoscopy. I didn't even mind the PREP so much as the fact that when I had to get to the hospital for the scope, I STILL was having cramps and wore Depends just in case. As soon as I got to the hospital, I made Bob drop me off at the front door so I could run into the ladies room. That was the only bad part of the entire process.
STEPH do me a favor when you get your WM order. I need Riverwalk Medium salsa (we go thru that like water), and some TP. Charmin please. you're the best. See? already your day isn't going as planned haha Funny about the temper in check b/c that's kind of what I'm working on this month. That old serenity prayer. I tend to think "THIS IS NOT FAIR or RIGHT" (and truly it isn't) and get so upset about things that I really cannot change. All I do is get myself worked up. So that's my current project. "take a deep breath and let it go."
SEE SUZE? Like you I chicken out when it comes to the nitty gritty of ACTUALLY going grey. Drive safely (she's probably home by now).

A little break in the action here. DGD at a birthday party, dgs is napping ...big day for him yesterday! Guys are watching basketball. Suze...so you survived the whirlwind weekend! Hurray! Go back to work tomorrow & rest up Sandy....sounds like you had a great week with family...just the best isnโt it?!? Steph...when do you take your students to the next competion? Iโm thinking it is closer to May...? Connie....enjoy your retreat..relax & happy stitching! JT...we had some sunshine & a bit warmer yesterday...sending it your way. Of course it is cloudy & colder today, so that will follow. I think we will go right from winter to summer at this rate. Celeste...Lol on having Lucy hair when you die! Iโm in the need a haircut / color club. My stylist also works as a paraeducator, so hours for appts are limited. Plus with all of the out of town stuff lately for us, I have had a heck of a time getting on her schedule. I kind of feel of like that otter has landed on MY head!!! And my appt isnโt until a week from Tuesday! Yikes!!!! Birthday party yesterday was fun. Cousins had so much fun playing...both inside & out in the snow. We will head home tomorrow. A crazy week ahead...including another trip to the dr with my mom, an overnight visit to see DHs dad / bro, then back to DDs on Friday for the next birthday party. May the force be with me๐คช

WELL CRAP SUZE I just drooled all over my laptop!! Seriously try thinking about that w/o salivating!! I <3 Czech Stop but never saw that!
NOOOOOOOOOOO ANGIE .... not the..... OTTER!! I hate that feeling. I'm sure other people barely notice but I feel like a FRUMP when I'm at the otter stage!! Good luck for your mom's check up.
LOUISE YES!!! I remember you as a red!! Every dang time I have to color (and I can BARELY stretch it to 4 weeks) I HATE IT. Time consuming and messy and there's never a GOOD time to do it. And red fades to quickly. It looks GREAT for 1 week. OK for the next 2 weeks. Then that last week I'm counting the hours until I can do it again b/c if I do it more than once every 4 weeks it's rough on the hair. I should have "bit the bullet" this past summer when I had my VERY short hair.
I was going to go like platinum blonde first b/c I thought it would be an easier transition but a friend did that and went back to dark auburn b/c she said the platinum was too high maintenance.
Since STEPH failed to pick up my WM list, I did WM shopping (needed a potato, Salsa and TP!). I was going to do a pork loin roast w/ that potato but now I'm thinking a stir fry (no taters).

Celeste That is odd that after you had pork chops and a ham sandwich you were starving.I hope you feel better today.I have been so hungry the last 2 days I have had an afternoon snack and I rarely have anything between meals until after dinner.Do you take Benefiber and Miralax or just Benefiber? I use both and it helps but then I eat a LOT of fiber besides that.
Steph I hope all went well with helping in the nursery at church.I have helped out in children's church at the former church we went to but they don't ever say anything about needing help at our current church.The sermon was so good today I wouldn't have wanted to miss it anyway.Sunday seems to be the only day we don't do grocery shopping at either store.I think it's because we don't want to go back into Elgin after church.
Sandy Maybe I should have attended your class this morning.It is a good topic.
Louise Is your colonoscopy tomorrow?I have been having popcorn the last 2 afternoons.
Angie I'm glad the party was fun.Do you and Rick ever ask yourselves how you had time to work and do other things?We have wondered that ever since we retired.
I never get my hair colored anymore but I need a cut badly especially in this warmer weather.
Celeste I could have sent you my WM list so we wouldn't have to go to HEB and Walmart both tomorrow.I made an appointment with my NP for tomorrow afternoon(or so I thought) but when I looked at the appointment card it has next Monday's date.I'm calling in the morning because I don't want to wait any longer than I need to for my knee injections.It took so long to get approved and ordered last year I don't want to go through that again.
I ended up losing 1.2 lbs last week.Combined with the 0.8 lb loss the week before I've finally lost 2 lbs in 2 weeks.I don't know if it's freestyle or not yet because I'm also tracking regular SP on ITB to make sure I'm not eating too many 0 point foods and I'm at least under the 30 points for tracking everything.It's thundering again and Scooter wanted in.I wish it would rain already.

Home, unpacked, tired, borderline crud and trying to keep the full blown mess at bay. Good times all around.

BECKY I agree. I think beans help keep me satisfied (and other things like bloated LOL) and I didn't have any and I was just so HUNGRY. Mentally and physically. On and off for 3 or so days. I don't know if my hormones are waning or what but I'm not due for new pellets for over a month. So I hope that's not it. TOnight I did make a stir fry. WM has a large bag of frozen stir fry veggies and there are little packets of sauce. But a serving w/ sauce is only 60 calories. So I added shiratake noodles (0 SP) and about 5 oz of lean pork in slivers. Very satisfying and Bob loved it. SOOOOO easy. I do wish the stir fry veggies weren't so "carrot centric". I like carrots but it seemed like half the veggies were carrots. Maybe that's why Bob liked it so much.
I am one of those weirdos that isn't crazy about Carb nada and I DO like the House Shiratake Angel Hair Noodles (0 points!!!). It's all how you prepare them. About half way thru dinner, I asked Bob how he liked the noodles and he looked at me and said "Why... what's wrong w/ them?" He had no idea they weren't just angel hair. But I'm always playing tricks on him so he thought maybe it was intestines or something weird. When I told him what it was he really liked them. Now I have to find them b/c none of my local stores carries them so I have to go to Sprouts or Whole Foods.
SUZE every time you fly you get the crud. As does another friend of mine. Literally every time. So her ENT doc makes her take Afrin and Mucinex and pseudafed before and during all flights. ME? I just get GI issues but that's just stress b/c I hate to FLY period. Even 1st class seems like 1 huge cattle drive. Another sign... I'm O.L.D.!!

Hi all. Hope everyone had a good Sunday. Mine has been busy trying to get caught up from the week and get ahead for next week.
Suze, feel better. Glad the wedding was good. Fast weekend for sure!
Louise, if your colonoscopy isn't until Friday, you'll be fine. Just don't have any more this week. Good luck with it.
Celeste, you say your hair is red. Bright red? Brownish red? Mine is brownish red and I'm good for @ 7 to 8 weeks. If you are going bright red, may try toning it down to strawberry or brownish red. May last a little longer for you. I don't dye my own. Not worth the mess. I'd rather pay someone and let them have the mess.
Okay, glad to say I'm down 2.2 of what I gained. Almost back to where I was. Need to get serious again. Too many girl scout cookies around here.
Okay, waving to all. Happy Monday.
JT
