Good morning everyone 
I have one of the "scrapers that holds a bag" tools. It really does help keep the mess to a minimum.
Good morning Dale, Lori, KC, Joey and lurkers 
hope I didn’t miss anyone. Was playing catch-up.
Hiya Shad
Lazy day yesterday for me too. Caught up on some dvr’d shows/movies. Today not so much. Eye appt at the mall, have to return a couple of shirts and hit the grocery store up that way, dinner at mom’s. Pork roast, broccoli and mashed tators
Thank you for the lovely breakfast, Dale. The quotes were perfect too! Something I need to continue to work on....don’t sweat the small stuff. 
Except when your DH didn’t reserve the kennel early enough and there are no spots for the upcoming holiday weekend Annual State Fair trip. DH will have to leave Saturday afternoon and head home and then rejoin us on Sunday. Fortunately we were only staying one night but hitting the fair both Sat and Sun. 
KC, sounds like things are coming together
We had popcorn ceilings in our living room at the old house. What a horrible trend. Good luck. If I remember correctly we didn’t mess with them just repainted (PITA) If we had stayed there, definitely would have removed.
Lori, that would be an awesome thing to experience, definitely hard work though. Hope you have fun today!
Joey, how are you holding up? You go back to the Dr this week?
Well, I better get a move on. Have a few things I’d like to get done today. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Shoulda grabbed quotes! Angel that is great on the 30lb loss. How are the meals on nutrisystem? My brother is doing Whole30 and so far has lost 15. While I’d love to eat clean, I don’t thing I could give up my grains or alcohol, even if it were only for 30 days lol.

Ugh decisions decisions ... don’t forget to take time for yourselfFurniture is moved back into family room. DW is figuring out what pictures are going to go back up on the walls and placing the decorative stuff in the entertainment center/hutch.
Next project is either the ceiling in the kitchen(remove popcorn)and repaint, or work on the room we are calling the library(paint walls, install laminate flooring).
Good morning LoriGood morning all!
Lovely Sunday buffet and inspiration Dale!
Great idea on doing Nutri System Angel!
Hiya Shad!
Oh KC, that would be great if you had it all done! Someone was just talking about a tool that makes removing popcorn fonifi much easier.
If you haven't already heard about it, try googling, it sounded pretty slick.
Having coffee outside and listening to the birds.
Have a great day all!
Much too hot and muggy here for sitting outside but it sure sounds good.
Have a great time today
Good morning JoeyGood morning everyone
Hope your next appointment provides better news Good morning SaraGood morning Dale, Lori, KC, Joey and lurkers

You relaxed?
Good for you! So what are you going to do with Lucy?
Indeed!
figured i should check in
Good morning lovely lurkers.
Lori, hope you have fun today!
Dale, lovely breakfast and even better quotes...like Sara, I too need to learn to let things go and just enjoy life sometimes...it's a work in progress.
KC, good luck with your remaining projects...I know when it's all done, it's going to look great!
Even though it seems expensive (I chose the plan where I can pick out my foods, plus get the frozen ones which has some of the better stuff), when I considered how much we were paying to eat out all the time, I'm actually paying less.

The food is actually pretty good. I like that everything is in the right proportions and all I have to do is add some fresh veggies and fruits. I sometimes add some spice like garlic, which I love, and such, but so far I haven't had anything I couldn't eat...some I might not order again just because it's not something I'd normally eat. And I can have alcohol on it, just not every day, which I never did anyway. I can still have grains, just have to be smart and eat better ones. It's about learning to balance out healthy fats, grains, carbs, etc. Oh and I even get dessert too, and their lemon cake is awesome!Shoulda grabbed quotes! Angel that is great on the 30lb loss.

Wish I wanted to lose weight enough to do something about it It’s so hard when you get older
I wish I could lose weight....stupid thyroid anyways....Good afternoon Angel
Yep...and I seem to have less motivation too...some days it takes all I have to get off my .... and go to the gym...there are days when I just don't make it allGood afternoon Angel
(not counting these last few weeks where I couldn't because of my injury)I did, can ya believe it?Ugh decisions decisions ... don’t forget to take time for yourself
Good morning Lori

Good morning Joey
Good morning Sara

Indeed!
Well, we will feed her/take her out before we go Sat morning. DH will have to leave the fair after lunch and come home for the evening. Kiddo and I will go to the hotel with my parents. DH will meet back up with us Sunday morning and then we’ll head home after lunch. We have a 4 day weekend, so she will still have two whole days of not being corralled, but instead of it being Sat/Sun it will be Fri/Mon.
I can’t remember if I told y’all that she isn’t “crated” anymore. We have her in the mud room with the baby gate up. Her crate is in there as well. She has more room to move about. Good morning lovely lurkers.

That sounds awesome! Mmm lemon cake.
Good for you! Keep up the awesome job!
Back from Branson and guess what ???? I somehow found a nice motel that's owned by the guy that opened the first vape shop down there and they allow vaping in the no smoking rooms I gave the guy at the desk the imfo on how to find us here at ECF since he had his mod sitting there I still find it hard to believe people that vape don't know about ECF but I keep spreading the word
Angel try this,start wearing all black all the time then when the first person asks who died just laugh a little and tell them you havn't decided yet

Glad she no longer requires the crate

Too bad we couldn’t hook up in Branson 
Good evening all.
KC, that's great that you have that tool!
OBG, TOO FUNNY, the wearing black post!!
Angel, it sounds like you're getting it all worked out to fit *you* and that's awesome that you've lost the 30 lbs!!
Oh Sara, the state fair sounds wonderful!!
Had a great day! Was so very thankful we had some VIP type passes, and were able to still park in the volunteer lot, and such!!
I've never seen so many people in one place at one time though!!
We wanted to watch the end from home, so we left a little before 2.
We were both ready. DH had a full week of long hours and late nights getting home, and was ready to veg out in his comfy chair.
I was HOT, and not being used to that much walking....well,
I did get a few pics, I'll post those next. Heading to the shower and the sofa.
If I don't make it back later, have a good rest of the evening.
