Re: Saturday Roll Call 12/15/07

Hi Everyone,
I'm on a no scale thing... so not weighing on purpose.
Dh and I went out last night to an Irish pub and had a few drinks, dinner (steak, onions and mushrooms and veggies) and listened to a guy singing Irish songs... so fun! This morning we had a nice morning together, then took a long walk out in the trails... gorgeous day! I love this time of year walking as we don't have to worry about rattlesnakes.
Got some Christmas shopping done yesterday... son: two pr jeans and two shirts at Nordies... and Diesel cologne... He said he only wants a CIF ring... but that doesn't even come until after Christmas... and what's Christmas without presents... just can't do it... Also got him some jammies, thermal shirts, and a sweater... Also bought dd a Cologne set she likes and some makeup she wanted... yikes! that stuffs expensive. Then I found a manicure set with nose hair clippers for my dh! he he! always giving him crap about his nosehairs! also travel bag, and a cherrywood remote control holder that has a lazy susan under it and will fit his glasses... (we can never find either one) and a couple other things...
Anyways,
gotta go to work again today and tomorrow... but I got my exersize out of the way and had fun with my honey.
so...
have a good one everyone.

Well I'm baking the cookies again. Colleen - I'm with you on the smells seem to satisfy me I have had to try the batter - though usually I would spit it out I had to think on this one and no one else can tell me what they need. SO I think I'm satisfied. I wish yesterdays went well - would have save me some aggravation - they weren't edible - almost like moosh and I definitely couldn't take those to a cookie exchange

I was excited yesterday - my husband and his friend hunt here on our property.... got a nice buck the other day - now it is yummy LEGAL snack stix (think something like a slim jim).... I checked all the ingredients and approved it So now I have a TON of snacks!! Next they are supposed to make jerky which I am super excited about too.

So back with the cookies - it's the 1st thing I have tasted in FOREVER that has real sugar in it. Too sweet for me now However it's a good thing dinner is coming up so I don't feel the need to constantly taste test!

I'm still frozen from working at the farmer's market (yep it's outside during the winter!)... even with layers of clothes on I'm freezing my tush off!!

Hi Everyone!!

Checking in a little late. I have a had an ok day. Very cold here.. big "storm" coming.

I was a VERY bad girl today.... I had a piece of bread. It was 100% whole wheat but it is bad, bad, bad!!!!!!! I blame it on TOM coming Monday. I feel soooo terrible. The quilt of cheating is not worth how good it was. I have been absolutely cheat free for 26 days!!!!! Since I started induction on November 19th not a single lick of anything illegal has passed my lips!!! So I guess I just have to get back on the wagon and keep on trucking!!!!

I'm hoping JESS is going to have some words of wisdom to pull me out!!!!

I hope you all had a great day!!

Good morning all. I am making a fake french toast casserole this morning. Testing out a receipe for Christmas morning, when we all gather. Yesterday was another dark day, but today seems so much brighter! I hope you all have a good one...motor on!!!

Let us know how it is...and post it if its good.. I always make a casserole with Croissant rolls... but I found an Atkins one my family will eat and they actually like.. I just don't put the Pork skins on the bottom like a crush..it really doesn't need it and taste better with out it...
