🌸🌺S.M.A.R.T. Goals-WEEKEND🌺🌸

CONNIE corn is so good this year!! Enjoy.
And KNOCK ON WOOD we haven't had mosquitoes YET b/c it's been so windy.
I too think I slept better. With one (maybe 2?) potty breaks.
And if YOU can tell me how much money you'll need at age 70, more power to ya. I turn 67 this year and I have NO IDEA!

haha ANGIE. Nothing says MOTHER'S DAY like Diapers and kid baths. Well for sure nothing says MOTHER (or grandmother) like that.

BECKY I think I can EASILY gain a pound in a day. However that pound is probably temporary. When I go on a cruise I can gain a pound a day and when i get home and eat reasonably it comes off easily. Heck I can gain and lose a pound SEVERAL times in a day depending on when I weigh myself.
Good for you for going to church. I hope the kids there and the message brings you comfort.

SUZE I can't remember if it was Tulsa or OK City, but when I drove thru there w/ Ryan on his way to college I remember thinking "I wouldn't mind living here."


DANG IT my allergies had been so much better this past week but nooooooo. Today I'm coughing up a LUNG!! I'm marinating some chicken thighs. If Jannie comes at a meal time I'll grill them. Otherwise I'll grill them tonight and have them for meals for several days. Jannie's son wanted to come and visit so I have lots of them just in case.

Hi all. Quiet day here. My daughter and son are out of town, but will be back tomorrow. We are going out to dinner tomorrow night which is fine by me. Too crowded and crazy today. DH and I slept in and then he made breakfast for me. We went for a short ride and he is going to grill shrimp for us for dinner. It is cold and rainy here today. Only @48 or so.

Becky, I too understand how you feel. Hugs and smiles to you!

Okay, I'll check back later. Enjoy the rest of your day.

JT, BOB knows how to cook ONE THING! He youtubed how to make scrambled eggs and he makes Curtis Stone's chive scrambled eggs and they are really quite good. So I got breakfast too!! I'll trade you weather. It's still in the 90's and humid. Luckily sustained winds of 17mph makes it bearable.

CONNIE it sounds like a really pleasant time w/ your parents!

BECKY you and I both know that we can go up and down by a couple of pounds in one day when we have our IBS issues one way or the other. So cut yourself some slack.

SUZE I really want to get my spit together and start doing weekend trips w/in TX. As you said there's a lot to do and see w/o flying somewhere. Places i want to see: Dime Box, Marfa, Mineral Springs, Granbury, Tyler, Fredricksburg and Gruene, Jefferson and the Bayou, Caddo Lake (the only natural lake in TX) etc. I am going to Austin over Memorial day and maybe we'll actually see some sights.
I'd also like to spend some time in a cabin in the Broken Bow/Beaver's Bend area of OK.
I'll be right over for the tater salad. I'll bring limas.

So my M/day was um...interesting. So Bob was supposed to go to his mom's and I could tell something was wrong but he was barely talking to me. Finally I got it out of him that his sister texted him: "Mother fell. We went to the ER. She's back at home but will be sleeping so don't bother coming over."
NOT THAT he wanted to go over but it seems that she was taking all her myriad pain pills, sleeping pills etc, got up to the bathroom, fell and hit her head. Now Bob's sister is about 150 lbs overweight and never does ANY activity. She doesn't even clean house or mow the lawn. So she's more out of shape than I am (she's 61 or 2). The mother is about 80-100 lbs overweight. So Elizabeth can't pick her up. I think these calls to the EMT's are a regular event but since the mom was so out of it from the pills AND had a cut on her head, they couldn't be sure if the lethargy and slurred speech was from drugs or head injury. So off to the ER. Once she started sobering up they discharged her back home.

So understandably Bob was in a funk.
Then my G/F came over and hit me with "RIchard missed 5 mortgage payments and they house is in pre-foreclosure, and I've asked for a divorce." OKAAAAAAAAAY then. THe divorce part was NO surprise but the foreclosure part was!

So all in all, maybe dealing w/ the social security agency isn't THAT BAD!

Oh the chicken thighs I marinated were FANTASTIC!! Jannie grilled them to perfection while I made salad and fruit salad. Man oh man, life is WEIRD isn't it?

BECKY glad you picked up some. I'm kind of taking your place in a funk. I swear family can be a burden. Sometimes I don't even like my own! This was one M/day I'm glad is over and in the books. I think I'll go away all by myself next year. Just leave all of it behind. CALGON TAKE ME AWAYYYYYYYYYY.

Off to get ready for bed. Hope y'all sleep well. I feel as if I may have trouble shutting my brain off. And I stew about stuff I can't fix so what's the point?

I did have some S. Half a brownie (only half so that's good). I had another chicken thigh as a snack. And I had seconds on salad and 3rds on whole grain bread w/ balsamic vinegar and basil olive oil.

I didn't even try to get in my 8K steps but did meet my 8,000/5 days per week b/c I reached goal 6/week.

Tomorrow back to No S. And I up my steps to 8.5K. Which makes me nervous b/c I really had trouble getting in the 8K and did lots of walking betwen 9 and 10PM when it cooled down.
Oh well if I REALLY want to do it nothing will stop me, right? RIGHT!!

So all of you go to bed. Sleep well. Wake up refreshed and committed. That's my plan.
