Hi everyone! No showings here today so far ... dd#2 is coming over at noon to vacuum and dust for money. We'll get some lunch ... probably burgers. I'll do some laundry while she's here ... This is what I posted on Facebook today ... I have no tattoos because I could never decide on a design ... my mum got her first one at age 70 so maybe I'll do the same! Do you have a tattoo? What is it? I have my meal kit box delivered today so I'll cook something from that tonight ... I don't remember what I ordered so I'll be surprised! Happy happy birthday bklyngal62! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

I have 4 tattoos. You all saw my most recent one. And I have a very tiny bee made out of a semicolon on my wrist that I got when Esther had her first suicide attempt. I have a butterfly on my belly which of course no one sees except DH and my doctor. I got that tattoo 28 years ago when I had a nice flat tummy and could wear a bikini and show it off. And I have a ring of daisies around my ankle. That was a I'm 18 now and this guy tattoos in his basement and now I really hate it. But it's so old and discolored, I've often thought about having it covered up by something more interesting. It's definitely so faded thats a good possibility. However a tattoo on the back of the ankle hurts like you wouldn't believe! So that why I'm totally hesitating.
Today is one of the very most awesome days! It is the gender reveal party for my grandchild!!!! Everyone is supposed to wear pink or blue depending on their guess if the sex of the baby and I can't decide what color to wear! We will eat dinner at the restaurant where the party is.

Growing up we always had scalloped potatoes with meatloaf. As much as I love the potatoes my kids think they’re just okay. That said, today we’re having meatloaf with my Mom’s macaroni salad and green beans for dinner. The combination feels weird but I love the macaroni salad and the kids asked for it so I’m making it!
I have two tattoos. The side view of a butterfly on my chest was my profile picture on the website where I met my late husband. I have the word believe with a pink ribbon for the ‘l’ on my left forearm. I got it after I finished treatment for breast cancer. I don’t plan to get anymore tattoos but if I did it would be the words “love ya, Dick” in his handwriting. I have dozens of notes he put in my lunch one year and every one is signed the same.

I would wear pink because it's my fav colour and I love shopping for baby girls! My dd's were the best dressed things because of Gymboree and Baby Gap!

Thank you for the birthday wishes ! jeremysgirl that sounds like a fun way to do the gender reveal. destined2bmom a taco and ice cream truck in the same place sounds like a place I would want to be. I don't have any tattoos. I went to work and worked half a day. No plans for the rest of the day but jut relax. For dinner we will be ordering in. I will also be enjoying my favorite strawberry shortcake.

We just arrived home safely! Being a Sunday it wasn't as crazy as yesterday going down. The meet and greet was a lot of fun but hot. No tattoos for me. Dinner will be grilled steaks with the usual sides. Happy Birthday, bklyngal62!

Good morning. Dinner tonight is salad with shrimp. I have one tattoo I got about 5 years ago. It’s on my forearm in script and says, “it is well” (like the hymn - it is well with my soul). Took me a long time to decide what I wanted so as soon as I had the idea I knew for sure and I still love it. I have plans/ideas of three other things I want but don’t really want too many tattoos and I like to think it over a long time since it’s on my body. Lol I think I will incorporate two of the ideas into one tattoo and that will be it. I’m going to a store today to look at flooring. The decision making continues.

Happy Birthday, bklyngal62! Your cake looks delicious!! Can't wait to hear if pink or blue is revealed, jeremysgirl! I didn't want to bump yesterday's thread, but have to say I love the Sea to Sky cross-stitch, scrappinwithoutpeas! I don't have any tattoos only because I'm so afraid of triggering a skin reaction. KelleeM, when DH heads out of town he leaves post-its on the bathroom mirror, coffee machine and my Macbook that say "love ya". I have a collection of them on the bathroom wall. When DD was 14ish I was taking a van load of her friends to a concert. I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the conversation until one girl announced passionately that she would NEVER date/marry a guy with a tattoo. Another responded she would NEVER date/marry someone without a tattoo. We are having a slow, quiet morning and heading to the Padres game this afternoon. I'm crossing my fingers we will be in the shade. Dinner will depend on whether we eat something at the game.

Ok leannec I'm wearing hot pink and Jeremy is wearing royal blue. Lol! I really don't care, I just need an answer because I'm going to make a blanket and I need to know colors. It's funny now though that I think of it. After having a transgender child, boy or girl at birth seems weird to me.

bklyngal62 Happy birthday! destined2bmom I feel for you. I always feel down after DS leaves. So does my pupper. When I leave and return he continues to look at the door waiting for DS to enter behind me. I have never wanted a tattoo. I think I would tire of the same design. But I did see one the other day that I thought was beautifully done of a baby bird leaving the nest leaving the parent birds. Well my step-mom will leave the hospital without getting the tests done. So frustrating since she doesn't know if she had a stroke or not. Tonight we will have salmon and we still have a bunch of chinese dumplings left over from our neighbors gift. So good.

I think we're having meatloaf and homemade mac & cheese - comfort food for a cool, overcast, dreary sort of day here.
I do not have any tattoos, and will never get one due mostly to a very strong aversion to needles. Also I'm a huge wimp about pain and have a very low pain tolerance. I've never really wanted a tattoo either, though - nothing against them, just not really my style. DD1 has a small one, and my sister has a couple.

I really want a tattoo but I am afraid I may react to the ink and scar from it. Those with EDS scar easily and I already have a ton of keloid scars. It is Snoopy holding a bunch of balloons that are zebra striped, teal blue, and rainbow colored standing on a heart.
Kids had swim lessons. Oh did ds get tired out today. He needed to get out before time was up. He had a different instructor who didn't let him take breaks and kept him swimming. Regular instructor will be back next week 🙌
Dinner is turkey meatballs and pasta - chickpea! So good.

It's funny now though that I think of it. After having a transgender child, boy or girl at birth seems weird to me. I think this is awesome! Have fun with the gender reveal! DD1 and her husband chose not to find out the gender of their baby (my first grandchild) ahead of time. When the baby was born, they immediately laid the baby on DD's chest (as per usual), and she and my son-in-law were oohing and aahhing over the cute tiny baby for a few minutes before suddenly DD looked up to the midwife and realized that no one had yet said whether it was a boy or girl, LOL. In her completely exhausted state (long labor including 3 hours of pushing), DD then asked "...um, what kind of baby is it?" (meaning what gender), and then finally learned that it was a girl.

Dinner will be a spaghetti squash from my DF garden, and I took some meatballs and sauce out of the freezer to go on it...I needed easy as I worked last night and am working again tonight!!
I have 2 tattoos one on the outer aspect of each foot....My left matches My DS Kellee's, except I did not have the hearts filled in...it was painful and I had reached my limit😱 The right one is an infinity symbol, it has two intertwined hearts in honor of my parents, and paw prints in honor of Zoe' our weimaraner first fur baby.......we had her for 14.5 years!

No tattoos for me, but my brother is covered. Dinner tonight will be take-out Chinese, and dinner for the week is a new to us recipe: wordsmith posted a recipe to InstantPot sausage and shells in the August new recipe thread (https://pressureluckcooking.com/instant-pot-sausage-shells/), so I'm going to make that but nix the artichokes and add mushrooms. Fingers crossed that it's a success, because we need some new meals in our rotation. I love only making one dinner a week, but feel like we do the same things fairly often. Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Good Monday morning all.
I now feel that I have possibly slept enough to be human again and possibly not fall asleep this afternoon. Dinner last night was with my sister and family - we have roast lamb with loads of vegetables. Her older DS is headed to the US for a vacation tomorrow, so this was his final 'home cooked dinner' request before he leaves.
In a little while, I am heading to my DS's house, so that I can go to toddler gymnastics with Sophia. After that, we are going to have some Oma time while DS gets a few things done around the house. Probably also some tiny baby cuddles, I hope.

I love the idea of wearing clothes to match what you think the baby will be jeremysgirl. Congratulations! Happy Birthday 🎂🎁🎉 bklyngal62. Your cake looks delicious! Today I had a picnic for my employees and their families. It was a perfect day. Dinner is leftovers from the party. I have one tattoo. It is on the outside of my foot and says “not all those who wander are lost”. I’m thinking of getting one on my wrist. I got mine in Las Vegas and I’m going back to Vegas in a week so…

Happy Birthday bklyngal62. May this year bring you loads of joy.
I'm pooped, but happy. We moved ds today. His apartment is really nice. He's the first tenant to live in his apartment. It's a brand new building that was built as part of a program to provide affordable housing for teachers. Yds comes home in a couple days. That's perfect, because it gives us time to move all of the stuff we were storing in yds's room out of there.
I don't have any tattoos.
We're all tired, so dinner will be fend and snooze. They can fend and I'll snooze.
