Happy Birthday Dale.
Suze That's about how long a water heater will last too.We have well water and still have to replace them that often.
Celeste I don't blame Bob for not wanting to go against his sister's wishes concerning his mom.She has been there for everything.Kenneth said he emptied 2 drops out of the rain gauge.We had quite a bit of thunder this morning but no rain.Scooter hates thunder so I had a companion on my recliner for a few minutes early this morning.Look at you buying earrings and getting the battery free.I see you were forced to do it.As long as they made you buy them that was fine.
JT Good for you on getting your goals in.
Celeste I'm glad Meredith and Chris are doing better.I didn't get your first e-mail until I was on the way back from my NP.I had to wait for x-rays and ended up spending an hour in there.I have your fruits & veggies covered for you today.I have seen the Adobo with Cilantro but was wondering if it was too spicy.I put TJ's chili lime on everything.
Connie I'm glad you got your new fridge delivered.Those were nice delivery drivers.
OMG Steph on the power.We had a tripped breaker last week and the little time the power was off I thought I was going to burn up.I hope it's back on by now.You must have gotten all the rain.We got a mist and that was it besides thunder.
I have 2 broken bones in my foot.The first thing my NP said was she would be very surprised if my foot was broken so they did x-rays.She comes back in and says guess what?It's broken in the 5th metacarpal(closed)whatever that means.I haven't had time to google it.I'm supposed to wear a post op shoe and she said she hadn't seen them at HEB so for me to look at WM.They didn't know anything about it so I looked online and I could have ordered one but it would take a week.So I ordered one from Amazon and it's supposed to be here Wed sometime.In the meantime I found an old one I used the last time I broke my foot when I still weighed over 300 lbs and probably wore a size 11 wide shoe b/c it's big but I think it will do until I get the new one.It's so old it cracks when I walk.
So no step goals for 3 weeks and no riding the recumbent bike for 3 weeks and then only when the bottom of my foot doesn't hurt when I cycle.She said my feet are so flat my foot didn't have any cushion to soften the blow.I know I'm not wearing this shoe to sleep in.
Celeste I'm glad the chili beans were a hit.We had leftovers of ours tonight.
G'night ladies.

CONNIE isn't it great when a delivery goes smoothly? When they show up on time, do what they're SUPPOSED to do and do it w/ a polite attitude? My furniture guys were the same way. Got here early, introduced themselves (along w/ a handshake!!!) and did what they're supposed to do. Very refreshing. ME? I expect the worst and am usually spot on so when things go well it's really NICE. Glad your situation was so good.
Oh gosh STEPH is it blistering hot down there? Even though our temps are down it's still so freaking muggy I'd be unhappy w/ no power and no A/C. Good luck getting it back on sooner rather than later. OK just saw your last post. THANK GOODNESS.
ANGIE I hope they were long days in a good way.
SUZE Bob walked and he RARELY sweats and he was SWEATTTTTYYYYY it's so muggy.
BECKY that Adobo w/ cilantro isn't spicy at all. It's tangy like lemony almost w/ garlic and salt. I'd never bought it before but I'm a fan. Here's hoping your foot heals esp now that you know what you're supposed to do (and NOT supposed to do). OUCH.
I am CRAVING more of "BECKY'S CHILI BEANS" (that's how I have them saved in my google recipe folder). Not sure exactly why I loved them so much. I guess they just hit the spot and they were SO EASY. And the mango I had with it was also amaze-balls.
I didn't win at bunco but laughed our asses off so that's worth the price of admission. lol
Good night children. I"ll check ya on the flip side.

I fell asleep at 8:30 last night. Stayed in bed till 6am, tho I was awake several times. Feel like I got a lot of rest. Then I got up and made my favorite breakfast. Seasoned roasted potatoes topped with 2 eggs over easy.
STEPH- the first thing I thought about with your electric off that long was the food in your fridge. I'm now refrigerator obsessed! I'm actually looking forward to going to the store to get fresh veggies.

Good morning,
Power was out for 19 hrs. We were all out of the house in the morning. Autumn was able to hang with a friend and Zachary went to his gf's house (they went to the school & got their diplomas). I had CPR training and DH went to work. He actually said "Well, I had just planned on staying longer at work." Y'all know that didn't sit well with me. He was adamant we not spend $$ on a hotel. So, I refused to cook. Autumn & I got home around 4 & it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We stayed downstairs, but it was stuffy. It was a bad storm that came through, but we've never had power stay out longer than a few hours. Not sure what happened with this one.
Laundry is going. Cinnamon rolls had to be one of the first things to be cooked/baked. We don't think we're going to have to throw away too much. The meats for sure. I'll stop at Wal Mart later today to pick up food to replace. Not something that was on my to-do list today. Also have to pack a carry on, as this is only a 3 day trip....CELESTE CLOSE YOUR EARS/EYES....I have to be at the airport at 5:30AM, which means I have to leave my house around 4:30...even I'm having issues around that. I will most definitely be going to bed EARLY tonight. It's going to be a long, fast 3 days.
Well, on top of my to-do list, I still have a very active teen girl who wants to go to the mall with her boyfriend. I think I'll take advantage and try to find some shoes & then get the WM trip out of the way.
Becky, with the pain you've been having, it makes since now that it's broken. FOLLOW DR's ORDERS!!!!
Sandy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Dale!!
Waves to everyone. Off to get ready for the day. BBL

Grocery store is out of the way. Have been avoiding going up to try out the long arm. Guess I had better get to it.

CONNIE do you make up a bunch of potatoes and then reheat them? I like potatoes a lot but oddly not so much for bkfst. Hash browns or country potatoes just seem weird to me. PROBABLY b/c I never ever had taters for bkfst growing up.
STEPH I'm so glad you didn't have to try to sleep in the house as the temp kept going up and up. I'd have been uber cranky. and OMG I PEEKED... 4:30? Can you make yourself go to sleep earlier? I'm bad at that.
haha CONNIE I feel your pain. If you don't go up and TRY the longarm, you won't be faced w/ a non-working longarm. Ignorance is bliss. I STILL haven't activated my new iphone. If I don't activate it, I can't really have trouble with it can I? I'm a technophobe unless everything is humming along.
THe sun is out and it's hot. I guess I'll hit the pool later today. Definitely too hot to walk out there.
I slept "meh". I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM (Ok strange for me). For some reason I had to move in with one of my gay friends. This is a guy w/ whom I've cruised 3 times, and I'm REASONABLY sure I'm not attracted to him (and vice versa) in the least. He's a very wealthy, fairly good looking and DEFINITELY GAY single guy about 15 years my junior. BOb's even met him and trust me, even Bob has no qualms about Curt and me cruising together (he may join Judy and me in September). Anyway, in my dream I had to move in with him (I don't know why) and um.... well he DEFINITELY was NOT gay in my dream. And JUST MAYBE I'm secretly attracted to him just a little bit? Nah, I don't think so....I woke up and my bed was STEAMING. **FANNING MYSELF AT THE MEMORIES**
Well I'm still in my jammies. My iphone is STILL awaiting activation. I'm still a hot mess! LOL

Good Morning… had a looong conversation with my crazy GF in TN and woke up feeling pretty good. I guess I needed a good girl chat. Met my goals yesterday, and the scale is moving once again in the right direction. Baby steps.
CELESTE I had chicken, carrots with a little butter and sautéed zucchini and man the veggies were so good I wanted seconds, but not because I was hungry. It was hard to put away the leftover carrots away and not eat them! But I did. No nibbling or snacking. That’s good news on Meridith and Chris. That’s too funny…sipping the salad dressing. Yummo on good beans! One of you please forward the recipe. You must be tired after that dream. Yikes!
CONNIE don’t you just love delivery guys like that? I’ve had that kind of service from Nebraska Furniture Mart and appreciated it. GL with the long arm.
Wow STEPH - you must have gotten some bad weather your way. We didn’t have anything… just some thunder and a few showers. Glad the power was restored sooner than later!
BECKY wow! Glad you ended up going to see your NP, and you’ll have to be careful in the future. I hope the shoe gives you some relief.
Overcast and coolish here, and we had a good rain this morning to the north…. The farmers will be happy.
Dropped my car off for an oil change this morning and will pick it up at lunch. Then running home to walk Lu, since I have dinner with the girls and will not be home right after work.
Waving to everyone… enjoy the day!

Ok so I just now checked my email and there was a fraudulent charge alert from Chase.com, for $174 for AVO*Advocare Intl. So wierd! Chase has cancelled my card and is sending another. What's really strange is I know 2 people on Avocare products...one is right across the hall from me and the other is one I'm having dinner with tonight. If I didn't know them I would not even know what Avocare is. Weird.

While I'm on a roll... In an effort to drink less DC I bought some Arizona zero calorie Green Tea w/Ginseng. It says it contains a small amount of honey and the sugars are <1g. It tastes sweeter to me than DC! How can that be? I really like plain green or black tea, and thought this would be ok since it's only supposed to have a smidgen of honey.

BECKY I Forwarded our emails to SUZE.
SUZE I'm the same way. I can HAPPILY have 2nds of whatever healthy meal I'm having. I have a fairly big appetite. I wanted a 2nd bowl of the chili beans SO BADLY. It was hard putting it in the refrigerator. I mean if I had a choice between lemon meringue pie and chili beans, it would be the beans in a heartbeat! ARGHHHHHHH Total bummer on the advocare (which is also a bunch of CRAP). That's so annoying to have to go thru the process of getting a new card etc. DID CHASE CATCH IT? Or did you? Sounds like they did. I have to say Citi and Capital One cards are very proactive about finding fraud. I use my cards almost to the exclusion of cash or checks so I've had lots of fraud and except for one time they always found it before I did. THe one time I found it, you'd have thought THEY would have caught it. Online purchases of tickets for the London Subway made from a computer in India. Yeah that sounds JUST LIKE ME!
I"ll have to try that iced tea. Lately I've been making a big pitcher of decaf iced tea every morning w/ 2 lemons squeezed into it and some SPlenda. I get in plenty of liquids that way since it tastes so refreshing.
OK making Meal 1 then I'll get ready for the UGH... pool. That is a 2 hour chunk out of my day if I include getting ready, getting there and back, shower, shampoo, hair drying yadda yadda.
