Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
source Lord, I hope so. I've made a few changes starting last week. Nothing huge but they're huge to me because it's different than what I've been doing for, well, ever. I grew up on artificial sweeteners. The pink stuff to be exact. Mom always had it around and honestly I didn't really start using it too much until we started on our first go round of weight loss back in 1998. I grew up on a crap ton of sugar. I was addicted to my aunt's sweet tea which, if I remember correctly, was this pitcher: source a scoop of Nestea instant tea and a cup of sugar. When my dad was still around, I remember excitedly making a cup of coffee for him- two creams , two sugars. So my tastebuds were being trained from a young age. I know we had the sweet tea in the house too and my mama was a sweet tea addict until she left this Earth, but I think at some point she switched over to the pink stuff. I think I stuck to sugar when I lived at home but o...
Weather and both of our feet/legs permitting it would be nice to paddle this weekend but don't be in a rush if it doesn't feel right. You're right about summer though - it's flying by! Fall is really on the radar now!
ReplyDeleteI like the last of those fancy cabinets - I could really use a drawer for my pans/lids/plastic containers instead of them all being piled together in my "cupboard of doom". Maybe I'll go out today and buy a plastic tote that will fit and see how that works, and if it does I can install a drawer later. Some of those ideas are really great, but I have no room for them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! I hope your legs are up to some fun. I'll be finishing up decluttering/deep cleaning my upstairs this weekend and then tackle the basement in small chunks.
I'm all about body language and energy around my pups. They are so in tune to my energy, thus why I cannot cry or yell in front of them if I'm upset. When Elsie got into the skittles I didn't say a word to her; just quietly stood in front of her and had a stare down. She ended up hanging her head and laying at my feet. She KNEW what she did and I didn't have to say a word. I wouldn't engage her the rest of the night and she was not happy about that. A toy got flung on my lap. A head rested on my knee. A lick to my hand. Me? Nada. Would not make eye contact with her. I resumed normal activities the next morning with her and you'd think she just won the dog lottery. LOL Hand signals work best with Finn - must be the border collie in him. =o)
ReplyDeleteGoing out to mom's today to check on the car battery, then will go out there again tomorrow morning and hopefully get that all taken care of. So lots of driving. And I'm excited for the Olympics to start.
Enjoy your weekend and be extra careful with your legs and feet! xoxoxo
