BLUE SKIES SMILING AT ME....


another beautiful day here in Missouri. The temps aren't nearly as nice as yesterday, but then you can't have 70 degrees in January everyday, now can you? It is 48 at 11:20 am, sunny, and calm. I have lots to do today, domestic engineering wise. Think I'll open all the windows and let some fresh air in.

I feel really good today. Slept in until almost 10, which is really late for me. Must have needed the sleep. Got out of bed, weighed (scale continues to move in the right direction), and made coffee and breakfast right away, talked to middle sis and mom, fed all the animals their morning treat, and am getting ready to start working on my "honey do" list.

Had a good day yesterday. Got the van washed, which is a big job, as she is a beast!! Went to the grocery store, got more meat (could not believe the price increases just since Christmas...ridiculous), and some more veggies. Also grabbed a bag of charcoal, and last night we bbq'd some pork steak, brats, and venison bebobs. Have plenty of protein cooked and in the fridge for noshing on! Separated the meats into packages for the freezer, hubby made a fresh salad, and some zucchini for dinner. We watched "House II-The Second Story" and spent an enjoyable evening just the two of us!!!

That's about all the news that's fit to print from this corner of the world...hope all is well in your's!

TTFN!

Bren, we have not had any snow this year...well, a dusting, but that doesn't count!!! The van, which is a conversion, needed a bath very badly! She looks much better now, but who knows how long it will last living on these gravel roads. And yes, gotta love the sunshine!!! But I want some darned snow!!! Have a great day my sweet friend! Love ya, my sweet friend!! HUGS!! :)

Good afternoon, Stef! So nice to read your upbeat post. I should make this a habit in the mornings to start my day with a smile! You're on the right track... I'm limping along behind you! :D I haven't given up the race, though. Love ya, friend

Wow, that posted before I was finished! lol... don't know what I hit, but thought I'd lost it. Awesome on your scale moving in the right direction. I'm a little cheered by mine, as well. Of course it never comes off as quickly as it goes on, does it??! Have a great day!

Ooh sun, blue sky and BBQ sounds like heaven :-)

It really isn't fair that it's harder off than on, is it. Steph, I always enjoy your cheer. The cold is coming, and I'm sure the snow with it. I have to admit, it could stay in the 60s all winter and I would love it. The cold makes me hurt and snow means I'm a shut-in. I will wish for some for you though because I love you that much! (Fingers crossed for snow!!!)

Nothing but blue skies, can I seeeeeee . . . OK, so now I have that damned song stuck in my head. Thanks!

Hey Stef, thanks so much for stopping by my journal the other day to check on me. I really appreciate it. I read your post from yesterday -- wow, that was some good stuff. I have the same problems with refined carbs that you do. They've had a fierce grip on me lately! Anyway, so glad to still have you as an inspiring buddy going into 2012. Big hugs, my friend :)
