Happy October! Already! I'm just getting ready to meet my mum at Denny's for breakfast ... I love that going there is a tradition now for you too tmarschall! When I get back home I need to finish cleaning my kitchen from last nights dinner. . Cooking a big meal for multiple people took a lot out of me and I just lost energy ... no one to impress this morning so it will get done! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... at 56, I find many things that make me cranky! I am going to a new restaurant nearby with my girlfriend later today for an early dinner and then we are coming back here to watch The Golden Bachelor (which I recorded) ... love the entire Bachelor series! How is your migraine scrapmaven? How are you doing Delta Dawn? What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

I woke up wayyyyyyy to early today. I am way too deep into a pot of coffee which I'll pay for later! I'm on my own for dinner tonight, so no clue. I'm going to a wedding next weekend and just realized I haven't a clue what to wear! It's "dressy casual" and outdoors. May need to do some shopping later this afternoon. Have a good day all!

Iâm making soup with chicken, veggies and sweet potato. The âkidsâ are having chicken wings, fries and broccoli.
In June I was told I needed to lose 8 pounds before I could be scheduled for knee replacement surgery. I went back in August and was down about 15 pounds. Surgery is scheduled for October 12 and Iâm now down 27 pounds. I have my pre-op appointment with the surgeon on Tuesday and then have one more blood draw and Iâll be ready!

It actually rained again last night which is welcome. High today in the low 70's but it will be up in the high 80's by late next week. We'll go for a walk in about an hour ~ should be nice out. Dinner will be a tri-tip roast. Yum! Meme supplied by jeremysgirl !

I've got homemade marina sauce cooking in the crockpot right now. Going to make stuffed green peppers for dinner. And there is cake for dessert. I am impatiently waiting on Jeremy to bring up my bins of Halloween decorations. I wanted to put everything up today. scrapmaven hope the migraine is better today. And teddyw sorry you've been plagued with them too. leannec I don't think I'm any crabbier now than I was back then which is to say, I'm not a very crabby person in general. I have my moments but honestly most things just roll right off me. I think this is why I've been so bothered about what's going on at work. I hate being so irritated. It feels kind of gross to me. But my mom and I had dinner last night and I told her all about what's going on at work. She reassured me that I'm doing the right thing. I really trust her because she runs her own business and has to manage employees. The show last night was fun. Man some of those people really have some good voices.

Thank you leannec. It comes on strong, but dulls after I take migraine meds. It's unpleasant, but I can live w/it. I'm also sorry that teddyw and you have this nasty little issue. Great job on your weight loss, KelleeM. Have you been to knee school? My sil went to knee school where they prepared her for what to expect and gave her recovery information. Having a sister who is an OR nurse will really be helpful, too. So, today I have to pack my little carry on and then rest. Am I up to tmw? Not really, but I can do it safely and the trip will really help. This the specialist I see when everyone else can't help. Dinner might be lamb chops. It'll be up to dh. He also has rechauffe chicken katsu for dinner. I could make fresh rice and serve w/salad. Happy day to all!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Dad will be in the hospital đ€đŒnext weekend and we are celebrating today. Everyone has a job to do. I am asparagus, cranberry and gravy and stock. Also keep in mind my stove top is broken.
The dog ate a couple of acorns yesterday and was sick all evening.
Everyone is good here. Things with DS and DDIL are amazing.

Good evening all. We are just home from an afternoon at Oktoberfest. Today was the only day all three of us were able to go together, so we planned to go to church, then direct from there to the Wiesn. We had lunch at one of our favourite tents, the big wine tent. I had duck, DH had spinach dumplings, and DS had a pork knuckle. After lunch we walked around for a bit, then went to the Kaiserschmarrn tent for aperol spritzers and a shared plate of Kaiserschmarrm. We are now home and I donât think I will need to eat for a week!

Acorns are very very harmful to dogs. They can kill a dog. Call your vet as they also do liver damage.

I have been very productive this morning....4th load of laundry in the wash, bed linens washed dried and bed remade. I have harvested another load of tomatoes, pulled up the giant zinnia that have lived their best life. There are still a few producing flowers so those stayed. I also made WW shepherds pie for dinner, all DH has to do is bake it while I nap..as I am working tonight. I also scrubbed out the kitchen sink with stainless cleaner, and cleaned the counters and stove
I went out to do my errand however DH is washing my car, so decided to stop here.

jeremysgirl adorable ! KelleeM will keep you in my thought and prayers that you have a quick recovery. I can't believe that Oct. 4 will be a year that I had mine. Best decision ever. I'm still sitting here in my pajamas drinking my coffee. It's just been a lazy day for me. I'm honestly feeling a little anxious starting in a new store tomorrow. For dinner we are having wings.

Happy Sunday Tonight, I am roasting a whole chicken and hopefully will have leftovers to make into chicken salad. I am back in the office today for a few hours. It is making dh happy that we are getting closer to getting caught up. I don't have anything else to do today, so I don't mind. KelleeM congrats on your weight loss and wishing you an easy surgery and fast recovery.

You guys, my elbows and shoulders hurt everyday most of the day. I donât think they are bad enough for cortisone but bad enough to hurt all day. I am a good weight, exercise a lot and eat well. What am I doing wrong? Age?

jeremysgirl, that is a very very very cute pumpkin. I love the pouty face. Delta Dawn, I'm not sure how old you are, but welcome to middle age. Then again, I think I'm officially a senior, but I'm not owning that, yet. Get thee to an acupuncturist. bklyngal62 I did a long time in retail management. It all depends upon your store management team. Hopefully, you'll have great team leaders and will fit right in. You've been w/the company for a long time, so the manager might really appreciate having a staff member who is so experienced.

I wonder if I had bought 24kt reusable needles. The doctorâs office would sterilize them for each session. Hari came from Japan and China right? It has existed in Japan for hundreds of years so I believe you. There is one thing I could have done. Hari/massage practitioners are usually visually disabled. That is the career a lot of them follow. Maybe if I had gone that route I would have seen a better doctor.

My marinara turned out wonderful. However I had the crockpot sitting on top of the oven and I accidently bumped the knob. So I set the crockpot on fire. đ I caught it as soon as I smelled it burning. I'm not sure the crockpot will survive. But it's mostly metal with a plastic coating. And really I've had it 25 years so I definitely got my money's worth. đ€Ł

Iâm feeling good and have nothing scheduled for the week. DD is off to the airport. Mom is hosting her 90+yo friends for happy hour. Some amount of wine involved. They all live in the same building. My mom also made cucumber soup, so thatâs what Iâll be eating for dinner, along with grilled cheese (maybe) on really good bakery white bread (definitely). Iâm supposed to be watching my salt intake, so Iâd probably better lay off the goldfish crackers, right? Iâll try the low salt ones next time. That pumpkin baby does NOT look happy. jeremysgirlHave a safe, comfortable trip, scrapmaven. Good luck tomorrow at the new job, bklyngal62. Happy Thanksgiving and Iâm glad youâre feeling better, Delta Dawn.

Spent the first half of the day doing chores at the lake. I tore out more invasive Japanese grass -canât remember the other part of the name. Planted a bunch of allium bulbs. Deer donât eat them. And mulched my little woodland garden. Then did laundry and general clean up there. Came home and am working on my jewelry projects for our sale. Itâs all over the kitchen table. We had grilled kielbasa with broccoli & mashed potatoes. Easy. Good luck tomorrow scrapmavenleannec I looked up where the closest Dennyâs is to me. None super close Closest being on campus. Probably wonât be going anytime soon.

Where I go on my weekend crops twice a year thereâs a Dennyâs right next-door. Whatâs your favorite thing to order? I havenât eaten there in years. When we have our Scrapbooking crops the food is provided but this year itâs not so might have to check out Dennyâs.

One poached egg (medium) and a side of hashbrowns! My mum LOVES breakfast so she will do it up right! Pancakes and bacon today ... sometimes French Toast and bacon ... sometimes crepes ... sometimes eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast! We saw Eggs Benedict being served at a table near us this morning ... no way could I eat that. Denny's can be really great at some locations and really terrible at others so be aware!

I tend to make a pot of chicken tortilla soup quite often when the weather turns cooler. I normally make it in my InstantPot, but I havenât unpacked it yet. None of my frequently used small appliances were supposed to be packed up until right before the move, but the packers went into my garage where the appliances were sitting temporarily on a big shelf unit and loaded them up without talking to m first. I had moved them out of the way because the construction crew was getting ready to tear my kitchen apart and I didnât want them damaged. I was so shocked and angry when I stepped into the garage and saw everything already packed and on a pod. Honestly, those movers made the whole experience that much harder and I am still suffering from their poor job. At least I am slowly forging ahead.
I decided this morning that I couldnât wait any longer, I was going to make the soup in the huge cast iron pots that were from my mother. I am still missing several crucial frequently used tools, but I made a big pot anyway. OMG, it was so delicious! I always garnish with fresh cilantro, a spoon of sour cream, crumpled chips, and freshly squeezed lime juice. It has been two years since I made a batch and it was so delicious that I went ahead and had a bowl for breakfast as soon as it was done. I am looking forward to another bowl for tonightâs dinner and tomorrow I will portion out servings for the freezer.
Soup weather is here!

I have a sweet tooth in the am, but the most important thing to me is the coffee. I gave up everything else, but I refuse to give up caffine. I did it for a while and decided that I'm entitled to a good cup o' Joe. When we all go out for breakfast I just enjoy coffee. So, I get to choose the restaurant.
Forgot to mention earlier that our wonderful cadoodlebug is going to start the thread for me tmw. I will be in flight or waiting to be in flight. I'll catch up w/all of you on Tuesday. Have a great week, tribe.
