I hate it when people post just to post.....

It's a slow morning here at work; a number of people took today off for an extra long weekend.

Which means it's sorta like a vacation for me...fewer people to annoy me!

Good morning!!

I ended up having three job interviews with two different companies on Thursday before my surgery on Friday. Have just heard back that the one wants to see me again tomorrow. The other was a phone interview in early afternoon and then he wanted to see me in person that same afternoon. No other news on that one yet.

Been resting after surgery -- my parents did come down and wouldn't let me do anything. If I'd really thought about it, I should have mentioned that the laundry needed to be done!! I'll have to do small loads.....I am not supposed to lift more than 20 pounds. I live in a three story townhouse and of course, the laundry is on the ground floor.

My parents left yesterday after we went out for Breakfast and I had a very lazy day watching / sleeping through a Criminal Minds marathon on A&E.

Taps did a great job of catching up, so I've discarded my multi-quotes and am just dropping in to say:

Good morning!

*kat, i see great value in your grandsons living on your property & it will be a hard adjustment from country living to city living.

hope your son can find something close by - so the current situation remains the same.

*sorry slim :thumbup:

*heartfire, zucchini fries are easy. cut in fry size, dredge them in egg whites & then whole weat flour. you can bake them on a cookie sheet - but i like frying them up in canola.

lots of sea salt after golden brown.

*glad your feeling better suzy & one of the jobs comes through:)!!!

waiting on roofer & electrician today - fun times:), just ready for this to be over - rather the final construction get going - but need these 2 services done first.

***getting impatient***

Lu - Why the roofer? If you renovated upstairs first, then wasn't any roof issue dealt with then? Or am I missing something?

I understand the impatience though...

we have a leak - the chimneys weren't sealed properly, so new flashing has to be put in.

Now I understand!

Did hubby have a nice b-day? Did you get your bloody mary?

Exactly!! I tried to explain to my nephew that spell check requires that you know how to spell, otherwise how do you know which word is the correct one.

Yeah, but if they're using a Word document, it underlines it for them. :mad:

Don't live your life with "I wish I had...". If you want something, go for it.

Yeah, I keep thinking that too. :sad:

~Beth, I agree with the salt AND muscle recovery theories. Soy sauce is basically just salt with enough dark colored Water just to make it liquid!

(I know Heartfire said this but I don't multi-quote! lol) I keep trying to tell myself that, then I get on the scale this morning and still no budge.

But, okay, as I think about it... I had some tom kha gai this weekend (Thai soup) and they use a "fish sauce" in it as a seasoning that I bet is very high in sodium as well. So... to be fair, I've probably had a lot of high-sodium stuff this weekend (some without knowing how much [steak and chicken]). I'm supposed to go in for a fill eval (won't need a fill) on Thursday, but I'm considering rescheduling -- partly because I have a lot to do, but also partly because the weigh-in won't show what I've really done.

Wondering if I can be a forensic scientist without taking science. Hmmm....

Okay, must..... tear...... self............ away.................. (screechy nail sounds as reading tears Beth away)

[tapshoes 2]

Hey all:

Waiting to board my plane to go back home - had a great trip!

Not ready to get back to the grind - but oh well!

Everyone have a great day!

i like to try all foods - the chocolate covered bacon last yr wasn't too bad.

but the butter & fried coke, fried twinkie - kinda gross i will admit.

my small addiction is the jalapeno poppers. fried & stuff w/cheese...mmmmmmm,

kc - safe trip back home!

[Gone4Now 4]

Oh, I love all the fried sweet stuff. But, butter...??!!?? How do they do that?

Didn't try choc bacon - but wanted to. The twinkie and oreos were good. (I hate twinkies normally, but liked it fried.) Didn't like fried Snickers, though.

1/2 my mouth is full of sweet teeth, the other side likes the salty munchies.

One of favorite Snacks is chocolate covered potato chips.< /p>
