Morning, all.

Sadly, the Eagles didn't make it... :( No real skin in the game, but one of their players did come from WA, so...

Good morning. It was a sad night for us last night when the Eagles lost, but at least we woke up to beautiful sunny skies this morning. It's going up to 55 today so maybe the boys will want to go out for a walk or bike ride.

What a game that was last night. Very exciting. It's been a great year, but now it's time to get back to work. I stopped painting last night when the game came on so today I need to finish touching up all the white trim paint.
Mike picked up Kate and the boys at the airport at 11:00 last night so we all slept in this morning. Time to get moving and get this painting project done so we can move on to the next one,

I'm going to prepare chicken breasts topped with slices of cream cheese, bacon bits and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
Janet, we love this recipe and it is part of our "chicken again, what to do with it this time" routine. Sometimes we say "Janet's Chicken" and enjoy it every time. I am sure that is not the real name of the recipe, but it works for us!

Hey, @Rat2chat2 , back home yet? Have fun? ;)
Awwww. Have you missed me?

I got home late yesterday and this is the first time I have been on the puter. I wanted to let y'all know I was home safe and sound. Well, safe anyway.

I guess Terry had had enough of the rat so he did not want to go to the Wednesday night church dinner so. . . I went without him. I took a girlfriend that I have been telling her about how good it was. She loved it!

I will report on my trip later. I have got to get to the gym. I gained 5 lbs in the last week. I was surprised. With what I ate and how much I ate, I was expecting more. I love to eat!!!! I think my walking helped. In six days I walked a little over 75,000 steps.

I tried to get on ecf through my browser on my phone but it always does weird things. He really needs internet but I did fine with my phone other than this forum.

I did miss everyone but I'm back home now and sorry, but you will hear more from me now. heehee

Maybe he was considering his waistline, as were you? ;)

Cold and dry continues here, although cold and wet is coming back later this week...

I'm not a chicken or cheese fan but this recipe I can go back for seconds. I think it's the bacon, bacon makes anything taste good. ;)

Good afternoon. 57 here and drizzly with rain expected later. Feels a lot colder than 57 so I'm not too excited about going outside for anything. So, there's no excuse for not doing something about this dirty laundry before there's nothing clean left. Boy do I miss my large tub washing machine. It'll take me 2 days to do what I could do with my big machine.

It's called Bacon, Cream Cheese, Cheddar Chicken. Found it online and have no idea other than Julia to credit. Don't know if she created it though. We love this recipe too, but this last time I should have put more cream cheese on it and should have baked it for 20 instead of 30 minutes, but it was still amazing. That pretty much tells me you can't mess this up.

75k steps! I'm exhausted just thinking about that! Sorry, I wanted to welcome you back properly, but I was just stunned at that 75k number!

Glad to hear you had a good time. Always nice to get away for a bit. We could really use a vacation. We've been invited to go to Key West with friends in April so I'm rather excited about that. We just have to get there but I'm dreading booking a flight.

With all the stress and hard work from moving, I agree y'all deserve a vacation. April is right around the corner. I have never been to Key West. Of course, I googled it, and it is going to be fantabulous. I cannot wait to hear all about it. Have you been there before?

I could not believe how much I walked when I added it up. It was so nice at Sea Level that I really enjoyed my walks. The gym's treadmill is wonderful but there is just something about getting out in the fresh air and sunshine.

I looked that up and it has my mouth watering. I am going to have to try it. Maybe I'll fix it with the broccoli recipe you posted here a long time ago. Actually, it was on or around November 27, 2014. heehee I LOVE MY LISTS!

Morning, all.

Cold and wet continues here, and they say the coming week will be colder, if not wetter. Yup, still February!

The gym's treadmill is wonderful but there is just something about getting out in the fresh air and sunshine.

Yup. Staring at a wall isn't nearly as fun as being outside!

Oh, I don't stare at the wall. I have earbuds for listening to talk radio and reading my book. Sometimes the book gets so good I have to increase my speed.

And people say I can't multitask. heehee Of course when the radio starts making my BP go up, I change to music. Probably should go with music, to begin with.

Apologies Fran for the rerun! I have to get my day started since I am slothing this morning so I just copied and pasted.

Good morning all! BTW, I am pretending. Do not know what is up with my sleep or lack of it. I would not mind waking up if I could just fall back to sleep in a reasonable amount of time.

That must be why my tuchus is in sloth mode this morning. Here it is 10:30 and I am dressed for the gym but just drinking my coffee which is improving my mood as I type.
CoffeeYawn.gif



No rain here and it did turn a little cool last night. It was nice for a couple of nights not hearing the heat pump which for some reason they put right outside my window. I pulled up my weather and they said Thursday it was going to get up to 80. Now whether it does by then or not does not matter. Just thinking about the warm weather made me happy.
Bouncing.gif


I have at least done something this morning. I put together my medications for the next two weeks. Guess what? They are not in alphabetical order like I do most things. They are in size order so the rows look right in the cabinet. (I've told y'all that it is hard to be me) Just wanted you to know I don't alphabetize everything like someone with real issues.
1laugh.gif


I am going to make myself go to the gym today because I am sure it will make me feel better but I have not one thing planned for today. I have been having withdrawal from visiting my favorite thrift store but I am going to try to fight the urge because they have not put out summer clothes yet and that is what I desperately need. I cannot be trusted around half-price clothing tags and I know I would find something there.

I don't remember if I told y'all (I tell so much) but last September I killed my big toenails walking in a pair of shoes I did not try on first and just bought my size. They were cheap and I was tired of putting duct tape over the hole in mine to keep the rocks out. Oh well, I am so excited because they have started growing back. As slow as my toenails grow, I am not sure what I will do this summer wearing sandals. I wonder if nail spas can put on fake toenails. Hmmmm? I will worry about that another day because I need to get moving.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and enjoys their long weekend. I am on day 153 of my weekend.
1laugh.gif
Yes, I have been weekending since dad passed. Can you believe it has already been that long? Can you believe I keep track of that too! bahahahaha

    So here's another one. heehee


    Good evening all. Just got finished eating my salad and it was awesome. Did not get home until after 5. After my excellent workout, I went shopping at Roses. I have hardly bought anything there the last several times I went but today, I came out with a big bag (I take my own) full.

    I could not believe they had the bike shorts and silky-feeling tees on sale. Ended up getting 2 pairs of shorts and 5 tops to mix and match with them. I needed to get some summer gym clothes.

    Do you know the Ty D Bowl tablets? They only match the bathroom in my bedroom and I have grumbled about the other bathrooms. Today, at Roses, I found lavender Ty D Bol. Hey, that made me so happy. I had no idea they made another color. It still will not match the other two toilets but at least I have a different color to complain about.
    1YES.gif



    Okay, y'all know how crazy things happen to me. After a left Roses, I stopped by Aldi's to pick up a few things for my salad. I use my phone for the shopping list so after I looked at it. I stuck it in my bra. This is nothing new. I do that all the time. I noticed that people were smiling at me a little more than usual. Honestly, people are always smiling and saying hello to me. Oh well, when I got out to the car I took my phone out and noticed that the flashlight was on. I always turn my phone glass to the inside to protect it so I guess people noticed the boobie that could lead the way in a power outage.
    1laugh.gif
    That is more than likely why more people smiled at me. I don't care. It was nice being friendly to everyone.

    So that was my day! Hardly ever a dull moment with me. I am home alone now so maybe I can have an uneventful and relaxing evening.

    What's everyone doing?

    :wub:

    Went to look at 2 properties yesterday. What a disappointment! The pictures you see online are fantastical. The places look nothing like those pictures. And the property I was really excited about seeing at the open house today - WTH! I came home to find that it already had a pending offer for $85k over the listed price and the open house was cancelled!! Well, I guess the good news is that so little has been listed the past 2 months and suddenly there were 3 to consider.

    So, today we're going to our son's house for a birthday party for our grandson. We haven't seen them for a couple weeks so we're looking forward to that.

    With all the stress and hard work from moving, I agree y'all deserve a vacation. April is right around the corner. I have never been to Key West. Of course, I googled it, and it is going to be fantabulous. I cannot wait to hear all about it. Have you been there before?
    Yes, we were invited down there about 5 years ago and we had a wonderful time. Several couples from the crowd we grew up with went. The one couple has a time share there so we get to stay at their place. She said they had built up a ton of points so they have 4 condos available.
    I looked that up and it has my mouth watering. I am going to have to try it. Maybe I'll fix it with the broccoli recipe you posted here a long time ago. Actually, it was on or around November 27, 2014. heehee I LOVE MY LISTS! View attachment 990787
    Wow! I'm impressed. I'm a big believer in lists, but I need a list to keep track of my lists.
    Both of those recipes can be made day ahead and the chicken one is flexible enough to make as much or as little as you want. Leftovers can be heated up or nuked for later.

    Thank you, my friend. View attachment 990908 So here's another one. heehee

    Looks like I'm going to have to do some clothes shopping too. Since I lost 34 lbs my clothes are hanging off me. I'd bought 2 new bathing suits last fall, but they're in storage along with my summer clothes. We had no idea we wouldn't have found a house yet or that we'd get the invite to Key West. Looks like I'll have to hit Marshall's or Kohl's.

    Oh Torey, I'm still laughing at your boobie lighting the way! You are too funny! That reminds me of the time I went Christmas shopping at the mall. I'd stopped for lunch and had a pizza bagel on a poppy seed bagel and then continued my shopping. People were giving me weird looks when I smiled and wished them a Merry Christmas until I caught my reflection in a store window. There were several poppy seeds stuck in my teeth! Guess it pays to shop with a friend who would at least tell me when I look like an idiot.

    Morning, all.

    Cole rain continues here, snow higher up. Good place for it!!

    I guess people noticed the boobie that could lead the way in a power outage.

    I wonder if the guys thought you were advertising? ;)

    WTH! I came home to find that it already had a pending offer for $85k over the listed price

    From what I've read that's not an uncommon condition these days... yeah, hard to compete!
