ksbruns I went to college in Lubbock for 4 years and they can have some awful weather. I just checked the long term forecast for Lubbock and you could get some lovely weather. Enjoy! @beckyw2016 & DebDoesWW I'm really glad that DGD isn't in Girl Scouts this year because I always felt I should buy cookies from her. An entire sleeve of frozen Thin Mints could be gone in a day for me so I won't be buying any this year! (even from the cute girls at the entrance to HEB!)

Hi all. Finally coming aboard. Up later than usual and laundry going. Ended up talking to a neighbor about ordering products when she stopped over but really ended up being a personal counselor. So this day has gotten away from me.
Slept a lot last night and think I am fighting a virus as I have a rash that some seem to be getting from some of the crud going around. Not sick and didn't feel unusually tired but sure did sleep.
So weird Sunday for me. May grab some lunch and do a bit of a walk if it is not too chilly and then just do some easy stuff after the laundry is done. Feel like some reading is in store.
Mike guess you weren't a scout. GS cookies are tempting even for the non sweet eaters among us. I can walk away from most sweets but I can suck down a sleeve of Girl Scout cookies with the best of them. Becky W you have great restraint. I did my duty buying them from my sixth graders over the years. Now I stay far from those little girls with sashes. Thin Mints, Peanut butter and chocolate....oh no!

linda72 We lived in Lubbock the first 4 months we were married and I was soooo glad when we headed to Buffalo, LOL. Jeremy also went to Tech for undergrad! DebDoesWW My mother, who was slim but worked very hard to stay that way, used to say with a sneer in her voice, "Not worth the calories" and it drove me nuts. So now, sadly, whenever I think, "Not worth the points" I have to cringe a little bit. But there are SO many cookies in the world I would rather eat, so giving them up was not a challenge. (Did anyone ever freeze their sleeve of Thin Mints, LOL?)

So far, haven't been hit up by GS yet. My favorite is the Samoa because you can't find anything that is similar. I confessed to eating a whole sleeve of thin mints. I love cookies!

I didn't get the thin mints b/c they were 30 calories higher and more carbs.I did freeze 1 peanut butter patty last night just to see how they taste frozen.I don't know when I will try it as I have already tracked everything and there are no points left.Maybe after we finish the pork roast.I had no idea 3 oz pork roast could have that many points in it.Back to pork tenderloin the next time we use the crock pot.

lmenglish Speaking of Samoa cookies, here are others that are similar. But, since they cut the trans fats I don't think they are as good.

Church then meeting, now headed to spend time with dh. Wishing everyone a happy year of the rooster. Went out last night for Chinese with sisters and mom after all the boxes got carried downstairs and the tree left the house. We're making progress on clearing and cleaning in prep for Paul's return.
Have a great day everyone!

BornTexan= way to go on eating 1 cookie! I could never do it. I like the thin mints, but the shortbread cookies and a cup of tea are my downfall.
Deb-does-WW= you made me laugh with the Cher moonstruck "snap out of it" slap. I LOVE that movie. When I was dating my DH and it was looking serious my mom asked if I loved him and I said "I love him awful" to which she responded "that's too bad". Every now and then she'll ask if I still love him awful. YEP!
None of the staff in my class have seen that movie. I think it's one of my top 5 favorites.
