They're supposed to look acceptable no matter what, not cling to your rolls and shout "Hey, look at me! I like donuts!" Actually, it just made me look extremely wide. Like a lady who should be walking around in a Hawaiian print mu-mu with curlers in my hair. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force myself to do it. (My bladder helps force me. ? ) Pooper scoop? Force myself to do it. OK - probably everyone has to force themselves to do that. Go for a walk with my friend? Force myself to do it. Go to this graduation this morning for my friend? Force myself to do it. There is an achy component to everything I do. I think that's why I don't want to do anything. I want to be like the puppy who does everything with joyous abandon. ((Jeannie)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I got a new phone. It's a little intimidating, but it takes very nice pictures. Unfortunately for me, my old phone is beyond dead. All my old pictures may be gone forever. We don't know yet. I guess it's a good thing I offloaded some of my favorites about a week ago. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Second sketch done. I'm doing the same photo for both grandmothers. I have a special photo I want to do just for myself. My art teacher encouraged me to get a little impressionistic with it, and I'm looking forward to the experiment. But for the grandmas, a close up portrait is perfect. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I just finished a good book. “Calico Joe” by John Grisham. It’s in the “Book with a two-word title” category of my book challenge. I was in to John Grisham a long time ago, but got burnt out from his lawyer novels. This was a really good book. It’s a baseball book, and I am not particularly in to baseball, but this was a very good book. He’s a good writer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way that we can afford for me to eat in a way that works the best for my health involves buying lots of sweet potatoes, potatoes, eggplants and other inexpensive fillers. If he were not eating those we would not be able to afford Whole30 and I would feel like this all of the time. Also, with my chronic nausea he has to make all of the meals and he does not want to make two dinners every night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!~D Sunday!!!! Church!!? Parent meeting mid-afternoon. I hate going to those meetings. Kind of boring. I was asked to be on the youth committee at church. I don’t have the time or energy, but I feel like I should. We really support the youth pastor. He is a good guy and he’s got his head on straight. And he’s not one to just entertain them all the time, just to keep numbers up. He is really committed to teaching the kids about Scriptural truths and service to others. This makes him unpopular with some who think we should do whatever it takes (water down Scripture, don’t get too deep or you’ll chase kids away) to just get kids through the door. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
