Re: TGIF
I have a one hour meeting and then a one hour lunch, right in a row.
I will be enjoying this 2 hour break from my break as best I can. See ya.
Ribs - Yummy!!! hope they turn out.
Home made chicken pot pie is cooling off right now and A and I are going to eat lunch soon, then go for a walk at Blandford soon after.
We are closing today on our house (re-finance) and will be saving a bit of money each month.
Overally just a good day!!!
I made a smoothie this morning with strawberries I froze last summer. I couldn't believe how good it was!
I think I need this in my life. What do you put in your smoothies?
Well, I'm just beginning my smoothie journey. So far, it's whatever I have available. This morning it was frozen canteloupe, a banana, strawberry Greek yogurt, milk, and honey. Yesterday, I used frozen raspberries and blueberries instead of the canteloupe. Both were delicious.
I'm thinking about trying the famous green smoothie.
This sounds so good. Keep us posted about the green smoothie
Thanks for your advice yesterday about
.
I ended up with a Toshiba Satelite. (GRSP, twinsies!)
I'm so relieved that it's done and over.
Glad to hear it Mol.
I've only tried the frozen smoothies that you can buy in a store. Smoothies are harder for me b/c of the dairy content so with the store bought ones I exchange milk for OJ.
There's a green smoothie challenge through Harvest Health. http://www.harvesthealthfoods.com/common/news/store_news.asp?task=store_news&sid_store_news=13&storeID=D39CDD6AEE6A4EE3AE47751D86880EB6
Some of the things I want to put in mine are flax oil, bee pollen, spirulina powder, and nutritional yeast. I currently use raw milk but want to start making kefir again.
Hi everyone!!!! There is so much here already I am having a hard time remembering it all. But:
YAY for winning lottery tickets!!! D&M you could go to a fancy dinner tonight with that. Too bad 2 year olds + fancy dinner does not equal out too well.
Yummm to smoothies. We have a magic bullet that I make smoothies in. I am lame and just buy the frozen fruit from the store, but what a great idea to free your own.
Hope you feel better soon BnG and Charity. My DH has been really sick the last few days. No fun. He took the last two days off, but went in today. So far so good I think.
I want to get a better crock pot so I can start cooking like that more. That way I could prepare it during Noah's naptime and not have to worry about making dinner when he is up! Any crock pots that I must check out?
D&M, I hope you'll like yours as much as I like mine.
This morning, I had some problems with a nasty computer virus. On a day that I'm editiing papers that make up 50/135 points for a class that starts tonight. Of course.
I'm going to start experimenting with smoothie soups (um.. warm smoothies?). There are days that I just don't want to drink something that cold.
I've never heard of the Ninja blender, but it amuses me to picture Kasa making smoothies in Ninja dress.
I couldn't figure out why I felt so achy today, esp my legs. And then I remembered we played Nick Jr. Wii fit with the girls last night. Granted the program is geared towards preschoolers and young kids, but that gave me a good workout yesterday. ha ha!
Target has a couple on sale this week. Most have just the 2 setting of low and high but if you can find one that also has keep warm option grab that one.
Get one with a timer. Also, the one I just got has a meat probe, so when the meat reaches the desired temperature it switches to warm. I will look tonight to see what brand it is.
GVSU, that sounds great! Yes, please let me know which one. TIA!
I really should be putting on my make-up, getting out of my PJs (I showered and got right back into them! HA!), etc. while Noah is napping but I am WAY unmotivated.
I just got a call from DH to please go pick up his credit card from New Holland Brewing Co. This is the second time he has done this. Too bad it is socially unacceptable for me to enjoy a beer with Noah at 3 in the afternoon at the brewery. HAHA!
I skipped lunch today.
Holy cow! H just got some awesome news at work!
His boss, who makes his job HELL, just got demoted.
Sucks for her, but is awesome for H. She was a horrible, mean, lazy person, and FINALLY the company saw that and did something about it.
YAY!!!
Wow, for real!
I hope his work satisfaction improves as a result of the boss demotion.
Frustrating. I hope you find it!
Me too.
What gym do your go too. Do they have Tv's that you can watch? that is what I usually do
It will, for sure! I'm so excited to see the results.
Yeah, but I like music to get me through a long run. :-(
Noone will probably read this but...:)
It was very funny when I went to New Holland Brewing to pick up DHs credit card. They had it behind the bar...I got quite a few side glances from people as I stood at the bar with a baby on my hip. I should've ordered a beer to shake things up. HAHA
D&M your DH had the best day ever it sounds like! Keep us posted on how you come out at the casino!!:)
