honestly...with my weight being so " fluid " these past 2 years I need a few different ( aka larger ) sizes of tops and pants on hand. My worst nightmare is having to go somewhere fancy...all my nice clothes do not fit anymore. Oh well, I've been back on my healthier eating plan now since April 2nd....there was no sense starting it on April Fools day now was there? ...lol
It's been slow going ( the weight loss I mean) but since every day I am slow moving in retirement I cannot expect a miracle.
Enjoy the long weekend!!

Thank you, I will ask the shoppers by my fathers’ house the age, that way he can get in on the savings.

Thanks for your help re: Top T Tried to rep you but got that spread it around message. Re: your hubby's socks - I heard the blue original Dawn is good for stains! Have a great day!

I have that plastic Cdn Tire card but only shop there maybe 2 times a yr. and I really laughed at what I earned on my purchases, it is a joke. My DS on the other hand lives right across the street from one and shops more frequently so he may find it workable.

yeah, those bosc pears I call them dirty brown pears but my son just loves those ones. lol

oh thanks so much!! I am another year older......but jury is out on if " wiser " was a part of it. ha ha

soup was what did the trick for us too. I did make a homemade one from the turkey carcass but then we also bought Swiss Chalet chix soup, that is so delicious! Enjoy your snuggle time with Sebastian!!

oh man! I am so grateful it did not hit me until very late on the 25th. Our dinner guest had left and I fell into bed, stayed there all through the 26th and 27th. Just a terrible version of a nasty cold with a side of bronchitis....lol. On the 28th I dragged myself to the Clinic, got antibiotics and a puffer.
Much much better now. Funny how I still sound sick though, the last of the phlegm rattling around in my chest.
But I am healed, have no headache, no fever, nothing. The minute I felt like cooking again I knew it was gone....lol
Hope you are feeling better as well.

Honestly, some times a day is too long... but I am getting by each day, hard as it may be. It's going to be a very long haul, and it's difficult to accept that I will never be even close to as I was before...

Take care!

ha ha a dancing on demand baby? I would pay to see that. The best age eh ? Hope you soaked in all of his love on your visit on Saturday. Things are slowly getting back to semi-normal here BUT there is still plenty left to construct, patch, paint, clean or something. It often feels overwhelming, that is when I head out the door or I crash in the recliner to rest my brain. Have a great week !!

Thanks hon.

Thanks for the rep and we had an awesome time.

oh I know, newborns and we are so nervous about giving them any of our germs. I'd be the same too if I had caught a bad cold. I am sure Cara will get plenty of snuggles from Gramma when you are better again. The first 3 of the 5 cupboards are together and installed! I am numb with giddiness at how nice they look.

oh my goodness!! I LOVE Cara's birthday! ( Black Friday ) that will get some good laughs in years to come! Oh Congrats to both you and DH on being grandparents again. All the best to your DIL and son. We are neck deep in the living room putting together kitchen cabinets at 4 in the morning ( 5 of them from Ikea )
These will be standing on the floor on either side walls of the kitchen and then covered in counter top after. I am delirious about how much extra counter space I will have!! So much work though putting them all together, the screw driver had to be plugged back in to re-charge, it got tired...lol.

how exciting!! Your newest Grandbaby is almost here!! That is such a nice gift basket you give your hairdresser each year, no wonder she loves it!

oy!! This was a lousy driving weekend. I hope you dodged all the raindrops this weekend heading downtown. We had such plans to get the backyard packed all up but now that the gazebo canvas is soaking wet we'll have to wait till next weekend. Just as well I suppose, we are partially redoing the laundry room, mainly to make it more efficient but also to have it more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.....MY eye to be specific, since some weeks I seem to live in there! ha ha

ha ha about McD's food....I never eat any of the main menu things, but off my diet I did have the rare bacon mcmuffin ( no cheese though ) and directly right after I get belly reactions from the bun ( the gluten...pfft! )
I am curious does you DIL let you touch her belly? ha ha
I was watching a funny thing once on tv about how pregnant women often get accosted ( well I mean in a funny way ) by both older and younger women who start up a conversation and then think they have the right to pat the tummy!
Honestly, I cannot even remember that far back to my own days? I always felt pretty special with my large belly back then....not so much now....bwahahaha!!

just read a brag you posted and that was when I realized I had forgotten to hit NF today to get a couple of jugs of their delicious PC Apple Cider ( on sale ) for my DD. She loves that stuff!

I'm sorry you're still feeling so miserable; I hope the side effects fade, and the meds kick in.

drats to any summer colds, they make life so miserable. That restaurant sounded refreshingly different, I would try a place like that. Well I did it!!! I chopped ALL my hair off this morning at the salon. I feel as light as a feather now. Figured since I always had it tied up in an elastic I should just wear it short again, glad I finally got the nerve today.

aw rats! I am late getting here to say Congrats!! Hope you had a wonderful celebration of both special occasions coupongirl!!

Sorry, haven't been on SC for a week now. Thank you for the rep and you're welcome re: the clothes comment. Have a great day!

me too! I also got the cheap 10 bag of white ( new ) spuds by pm-ing FreshCo!

Thank you so much.

I agree! I think I might do like you did and put my name in at the library to borrow it.

Oh I wish we could have one of those lovely stained decks you see in commercials, but pfft! it will never happen with these two male leg lifters sniffing around out back. ( p.s. I am referring to my dogs not my DH and DS ) There! Gave ya another chuckle.....enjoy the sunshine today!

that was exactly how I felt about this movie, great emotional content and the comedic skills of " bad ape ". ( the cute zoo monkey )
