Janet; I just listened to MJB video clips... she is so good. But I had to ask a question.

On her LEFT cheek there is a tiny scar, it looks like it was a 'tear' drop on her cheek? Was she once in a gang? and had the tatoo removed??? Just wondered if you knew the story.

Morning ladies...slept until 9:30, guess I was tired. Didn't even post last night. Now I have that, "Slept too long" headache, hopefully caffiene will fix it.

Plan and having some real food today...I hope. Right now I am struggling with my coffee. But I usually do 1st thing in the morning.

Plan for the day...as Phyl said, "to the dump, to dump, to the dump, dump, dump!" Well okay, to "the truck, to the truck, to the truck, truck truck", the dump is closed today and tomorrow. They also have changed the hours, so I will have to brible someone to take it, since I don't get out of school before they close.

Janet, how was the concert? Did you fall off your heels? I do love high heels, but don't wear them anymore. Maybe I can try them again since I don't way a quarter of a ton.

Phyl, the Skype shower sounds like fun. Twins...wow, they will be busy. Heck, I'm jealous, don't even have one. Well, I hope DD#4 doesn't give me one.

Steph, I know you are a bigger collector than I am, but you come by it naturally from your dad. If you are selling any of your big crocks...think of me. I'd buy one. I was telling my students that I have a friend with a Kettle Korn wagon, I quickly became there favorite!!

Linda, I hope you get a relaxing weekend. Maybe a little time with Cora??

Candice, do you have everything put back to normal after the party? Good luck on the job possibilities.

Ha,ha,ha... Peter just checked his email... he got hired... I havn`t heard anything as yet... all that does is F-up our vacation plans!:smile:

Hi ladies! I did it. $2000! I had $100 from my family in Washington and $200 from my kettle corn tips. That makes $2300 and I'm READY TO WALK! I'm a little sad though. got an email from my walking buddy and she can't go this year. My SD partner just had hip surgery so she can't do it either. I guess that leaves me as the only boobie bandit this year :smile: However, it's going to be a great time and I hope you guys are planning on coming to cheer me on.

Phyl, the huckleberry wine is what you drank the first night of the 7's when we were all giggling at you. You liked it so much and I felt so bad that I hadn't brought you more. I'll try to find some and mail it or bring it to SD with me.

Okay...exhausted. I can't even think of the things I was going to tell you 5 minutes ago! Love you ladies....but the last two days kicked my butt! I'm going to go rest for awhile. Have a great night!

Congrats Steph, I wish I could walk with you...but we know I have neither the time or the money, but I will be with you in spirit!

Have the truck 1/3 full of junk and still a ways to go. Got all my family pics hung and a great one of my dad. Tossed stuff that I have moved 11 times, is that stupid or what!!! Have a pile I need to decide on, all my rug making stuff...ah hell, it needs to go to! maybe.

I have been battling with a headache all day. Hope food makes it better. So far my calories are about 400. Going to have some chicken fried rice for dinner. Hope it stays down.

Going to stain the dog gates and bed tonight so I can build everything tomorrow.

Cold and dreary today. The furnace tried to kick on, but I shut it off.

Candice, you better get the job also, otherwise you will have to vacation on your own...at my house!

Congrats on the fund raiser!!!

Oh, YEAH!! THAT Huckleberry!! Now I remember! It was GREAT!

One more night in Buffalo. Already cried saying good bye to youngest sister, Shirley tonight.... and I'll probably see her again tomorrow night! One more night sipping wine on the porch if Earl gets everything packed up tomorrow. We'll go over there for pizza! Gotta have a little Buffalo pizza before we leave!

May take Mom & Ed to see assisted living place tomorrow in the daytime.

Phyl, I hope your mom & uncle decide to go for the assisted living. It will make things easier for them. But it will be hard for them to acknowledge that they shouldn't be living on their own.

Enjoy your glass of wine with your sister. You have had a whirlwind of a trip.

Got a lot done this weekend!! Truck is now almost full. The bummer, my water cooler died. I can't stand the local water, lots of chlorine. It was nice to have instant hot and cold water, but that is what the microwave is for and the refrigerator. So back to bottles.

I actually have all the laundry done...an all time first for this house. The utility room is organized and clean, dog bed made, if they eat it I'll be royally ticked. Actually the cat seems to have moved into the beds. I built a wooden frame for thei beds in a hope that the furries will stop dragging their beds everywhere and eating them. I have a couple of special bones that I will bring out this morning, probably throw a little peanut butter in them and see if that keeps them occupied.

Good Morning Gang...

Had a great time at the concert - Nope didn't get DRUNK and fall off my heels ;0) - got a good buzz and had a bit of a headache yesterday morning - slept till 8:30 then laid around watching Hoarder - OMG what pple collect - Karla you gotta watch that show - it will make you throw crap away..

Would someone please send me the recipie for Karla/Steph's chicken salad? I can't believe I can't find it! I even looked in the recipie thread, but I didn't think it had cream cheese in it?

1 can chicken (Candice uses rotisseree)

1 bunch green onions

1 c craisins

1/2 c slivered almonds

1 can crushed or tidbit pineapple

enough mayo to moisten not goop

1 tsp dried mustard

salt and pepper to taste

My sister puts it in endive boats which are to die for, but I can never find endive here. We put them in cucumber circles for my nephew's wedding and they were a huge hit! Cut a cuke about 1/2 inch thick and scoop out a bit of the center, use a melon scoop to put a ball of salad in the divet. AWESOME!!!

Someone else suggested that it would be divine in scooped out tomato halfs...or maybe the bigger sized cherry tomatoes. Sounded really good but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks so much for the quick response, Steph!

I'm so excited ladies! We have booked our cruise for after the 3day! I'd love for anyone to join us if you're interested. I plan on spending 4 days just sitting, reading, and maybe lazing in the spa.

Carnival Paradise Cruise Ship

I'm so so so excited!

A couple of questions for those in the area. What is the easiest way to get from San Diego to Long Beach? Flights are outrageous....train gets us from San Diego to L.A. but don't know how far the Amtrak station is from the Long Beach port. Any suggestions?

Stephanie, wow a cruise, I bet you will have a blast!

Came home, did a quick home repair and then took the furries for a long walk, dealt with mail, watered pots and flower beds, now I am being a slug.

Still battling food at school. I was fine all weekend, but as soon as I walk into the building everything comes back. Well not everything, just breakfast and lunch. I was able to keep down 1/2 a small banana with a little almond butter, probably about a tablespoon. It is better than last year where all I did was eat non-stop at school. But I'm dragging by the end of the day. So that just tells me that it is stress related and nothing physical. The wierd thing...I'm not even interested in food. Yeah, I dream of eating a big steak with a loaded baked potato and dessert, but I know it would just come back, so I don't crave it. I am still craving salt, probably my electrolites are off. So I will try some chicken broth tonight and see of that balances things out. It does really bug me that I am wasting so much food. For the most part leftovers and I don't agree, I'm sure it is because they are drier, so I need to add some broth or something. Tomorrow I am putting a turkey loin in the crock pot, I will eat a serving for dinner and try some for lunch the next day, but I can't really get it down after that. So I am going to start giving it to my friend that is in her 70's and still working at the school and doing before and after school daycare. By the time the kids leave she is usually too tired to cook. I thought about cutting the loin in half, but then it cooks too fast in the crockpot. I'd appreaciate any suggestions.
