Supposed to be beautiful today. Not alot planned. but this is the week for "64 Galore" a huge yard sale all the way across the state on hwy 64. Think we'll take Rusty and putter a few miles..

[Heather]

2nd day off for me in a row. It's weird. I think I'll spend this morning at the pool. Brandon works later and my friend Amber is supposed to come over. Also going to swing by work to say goodbye to a coworker whose last day is today. She only wanted to work this summer and we've all threatened to track her down for next summer too.

SCORE getting free lunch today. One of my new grad pharmacists - he starts AS a pharmacist next week, his dad owns deli's everywhere - and he has one in an office building near here. he's bringing me catfish, hushpuppies and some sort of broccoli something casserole. Says people RAVE about his dads cooking. Guess we about to find OUT!

The Lord provides!

Handy to have a friend with food connections.

Oh it was delicious. He brought banana pudding too.

[Heather]

hmmmmmm...banana pudding....one of my favorites and I rarely get any. sigh.

My kiddos drove most of they way across texas today. I'm gonna really miss them once I've gotten some rest.

Someone just made a comment about facebook friend anniversaries. Do people now really expect you to keep up with the anniversaries of all the friend requests you've received? Or was someone just yanking my non-facebook using chain?

[Roscoe]

Never heard of that, Isaac.
Good morning,all. I'm up, kinda awake, and about to start my day.

Facebook actually notifies you. The other day I had a notification that me and my sister have been FB friends for 7 years and pictures that had both of us tagged in them were with it.

Maintenance came and cleaned our air filters this morning. Now I know how they come out of the units and I'll be doing it more often. I have to go back to work this afternoon. Brandon luckily has the day off as he ran over his foot with a pallet jack last night. It's not pretty.

I've been on this forum for 11 years.  Holy cow...

[MsJennJenn]

12 for me. I was 17! Haha whoa.

[Roscoe]

 Wow. Old timers in the house. I've only been here around - oh I think October-ish will make it five.
And in sharing, I have spent my day puttering around backroads with Chey and her friend, teaching them how to drive a standard in Rusty.
Now I'm about to go mow the church yard. And for any who are interested- I'm still soda pop/Dr Pepper free. Nary a one. And still averaging  between a thousand and fifteen hundred calories a day. Starting to be a bit easier, although I would not advise bring a steak or a gutbomb burger to my house, because I wouldn't even feel guilty for slaughtering you for it.

[Lynx]

Hunger CAN make people do strange things... For once I'm glad I'm nowhere near where Bob lives.

[MsJennJenn]

Proud of you Bobby for doing that! Food habits are so hard to break. Ugh.

[Heather]

PF-I've been keeping up with their blog for quite a few months now. They hadn't left Abu Dhabi yet when I started following.

Speaking of food habits, I've decided to finally try to find a sub for peanut butter. It's been 2.5 years now and I've finally narrowed down that my problem is actually the high fat content in the peanut. I tried almond butter the other night but it's just so blah. Tonight I'm going to finally try nutella since it's a hazelnut spread. Wish me luck!

[MsJennJenn]

Lol Nutella is 10 times worse for you than peanut butter.

[Lynx]

Just read the ingredients. Nutella is basically a semiliquid candy bar.  It's good - sooooo good! - but it's not as healthy as peanut butter.

Do you use real peanut butter - just peanuts and salt - or do you use traditional "peanut" butter that has all sorts of other goop in it?

By the way the fat content in peanut butter is good for you, so they say. It's a good kind of fat. At least in moderation... I wouldn't eat peanut butter for every meal, but a peanut butter sandwich for supper is good.

With my gallbladder less body, I cannot process the fat content that is in peanut butter [whether it is good for me or not]. Even just a small amount of peanut butter and I'm laying in the floor praying for Jesus to come take me. The nutella will not necessary be for nutritional value. I just really miss peanut butter. I'd eat it almost daily. Haven't had hardly any in 2.5 years. Doctors told me it's normally only a couple weeks to months post surgery that people have issues. But here I am years later. Tried just a dime size about about 4 months ago. Still terrible on me. Sigh.

[Roscoe]

Summer colds are the worst. I know, 'cause I'm suffering from one. Bah. I could eat cardboard right now and not taste it, I'm so stopped up.

[Heather]

So what you're saying is your rabbit food diet shouldn't be an issue?

Awesome church this afternoon. Had a guest preacher from West Virginia.

[Roscoe]

Exactly. At this point, a good steak would be totally wasted on me. 
But despite all of that- God showed out tonight at church. Absolutely awesome.

[Roscoe]

Urgh. Lawd I am ready for the day to be over with. It is TOO pretty here to be trapped inside. Sunmy, 80, and a light breeze.
