KrissiK Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I had a pretty carby dinner. I am trying to be aware of how I feel. We got a gift card for a good Italian restaurant in town, so we ordered pizza. It’s pretty thin crust, and I had two slices and then filled up on salad. No, I filled up on salad first. I think it was a little too many carbs. Even with what I had for breakfast, it’s within my daily allotment (this is a higher carb day), but I think those pizza pieces were too much carbs.😩 but it’s good that I am trying to be very aware. I think this will help. I normally wouldn’t waste carbs on pizza, but this was good pizza. Not Little Caesar’s. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I finished reading Unbroken today. What an amazing biography!

Wheres Toto Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Good Morning, We're heading to a reptile expo today. I want to get turtles but one of my student's mom's has a turtle they want to get rid of with full set-up that she offered to us and we're going to take. We decided to still go to the expo and check it out, even though we don't want to buy anything until we see what happens with the donated turtle. They also have frogs and arachnids, so those are possibilities. I woke up feeling like I had a huge lump in my throat. Can't swallow it down, it doesn't hurt, it's just there and I can feel it when I swallow and a little when I'm not. Tea with honey is helping some. Dd got a notice for a certified letter from her insurance company. Can't pick it up until Monday and I'm trying to decide if there's any way that could be anything but bad. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Morning! Checking in before I disappear into the revision cave. My boy came to me the other day and said he was worried I'd sit in front of the laptop and starve. Which I think is code for he's afraid he'll starve during the season of intense revisions. I will cook today to soothe his fears. There will be an Italian Cream Cake later this week. I started reading my new novel in group, and good grief! All of us want that cake because the main character had it for his birthday. So I said I'd make one for Tuesday. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissi and her fancy Church for Freshly Washed Goats. 🚿 J/k, I showered before church, too. 😁 I visited a congregation today I'd never been to before. Lovely people, terrible parking situation. I liked the service (and the sermon was an interesting take on the text), but DS would not have IMO. I'll visit again. I did find myself smiling through one of their hymns, which had lyrics that would have been well liked in my current denomination. I suppose it's irrational for us to become a 3- or perhaps 4-church family, there being only three of us? *sigh* DH is happy enough with his church; DS likes the church I'm a member of, and I think it's the best fit for his needs; I'm considering two different ones, one in my current denomination and one very much not... but OTOH I might stay where I am and just drop out of leadership to avoid the structural issues. Would any of these be the church within walking distance of Chez Whitehawk? Of course not. (Also a very friendly congregation, but we don't find their teaching compelling.) :willynilly: It's a Freshly Washed Booyah! 🐮🚿 (That is a goat, isn't it?)

Susan in TN Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 So many fancy showered goats today! It's not super cold outside but it's so damp and humid that I am having a hard time getting warm. I used my coat as a lap blanket through most of the services. Gonna put on my smartwool hiking socks and have some hot coffee. I've read Up From Slavery twice so I'm not sure I should count it for my Challies Challenge. I'm currently reading chapters 4-6 of Aging Matters for the discussion group on Saturday morning, and then I'll start on The Mill on the Floss - that'll be my "over 400 page" book, even though in some editions it's over 500 pages and in others it's less than 400. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Lump in my throat is better. Not sure if it was the Benedryl, the root beer or just being up and around that helped but it's better. Reptile expo was a bit of a bust. It was super super super crowded, very warm (yet cold outside so we all had coats on), kind of dimly lit, you could barely move, dd's anxiety kicked into high gear. We didn't stay long which sucks because it was an hour drive and $30 for us all to get in plus $15 to park. I could have stayed longer but everyone else was ready to go after about an hour. Most of the vendors had the same things, lots of ball pythons, lots of corn snakes, lots of geckos and chameleons. Not too many turtles or frogs, except poison dart frogs. Now we are all wiped out because evidently we are worse introverts than I thought. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
