What strange is that some of my friends count on my taste buds n nose, n sight. they own restaurant's/clubs
Now that I no longer smoke I now can taste, n smell actual smells.
The recent regained weight is not due to haveing stop smokeing. I had bad bad slip - food feast.

I'm horrified! I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000. I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter. I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change. Now this! I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000. I guess I have to pay...
-
We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
Earlier tonight/morning I changed sheets on my bed, they smelt like old perfurm. anywhoo until then I didn't know that I have 9 pillows 2 long body pillows,lol, plus during dy I also have deco pillows on my bd,lol
Aw Jen. you got left behind too,lol I would have had a lu ali w pretty drinks, for everyonen but oh no here I set w house coat n warm botties on instead of sundress n feel of sand underneath my/our feet, n smell of suntan oil in air, n drifting music. It's a nice dream. It's another cold n rainy day here.
I caught part of weather channel this morning, oh no, there's a real bad wide band snow storm that size covers a few states, n is moveing eastward.
Check out the weather station.
Get n firewood n extry food suppys n at least a 25 lb bag of rock salt n reg size bundel of hay extry batterys oil lantreen w extry bottle of oil, n 2 gals per person for ea dy water supply.Pile blankets n pillows in cornor.Oh ya, winter stuff for radiator, n 5 gal plastic containor of gas for car.
Can you tell that I have a hunting log cabin in mountains. I only use it as a lodge.
Yrs ago, due to rain wind snow snow drifts. For 2 mo's I was stuck inside my cabin. I couldn't even get windows open.The roads were un useable. cabin is in center of 1.000's of ac's.
I ended up useing furniture for firewood. I also used braded rope rug liken to tent to sorta hold heat in small area of very lrg rm. The rms r huge, the stove/oven couldn't even get kitchen warm.
Upon watching the w channel, that's 2nd thing that I instantly thought of. 3rd throught being on elderly homeless poor children/babys.
4th being: hopeful that everyone community road services already have extry salt...
The good news is that I believe in prayer n that prayers are answered.
we might not get answer in less than a second n it may not be the one that we wanted a certain way. prayers are answered. The answeres are far better than what we prayed for.
I need to wash this thick house coat. the rest are short sleeved. other than going to Dr appts n to dentis, I have basically been liveing in my house cloths. dang cold n nasty weather.
I pray that you n yours n our DS friends...will be salf from snow storm.
I assume that we're all in for Indian summer. AC cost may sky rocket this summer if it is an indian summer.
Oh my the follow was place in beginning part of this novel. dunno what happen :I
You have a good heart n patients, if you take time to read all my novels/replys, n recent post.They are novals.lol
It seems that I use a lot of words to say very little :I
I know that I shouldn't wish my life away but this winter lasted forever n seems to still be hanging on.
I'me looking forward to smells of fresh cut grass n working gardens clean sheets on cloths line lemonaid on deck, n laughter of children out playing, n cookouts, n over the fence chats w my neighbours. aw I've longed for spring.
Will Monday morning ( 2 to 3 dys wk )employee decided to spend the wk end. I have been telling her to stop doing so.
She the replacement of woman/employee, who stoled some of my exspenseive cloths, n much to our surprize she only took a few pcs, of al things, costume jewerly.
All she had to do was ask n I would have gave her a few nice outfits, n possible an exspensive bilfold r something.sigh.
No problem, because I already left message for my Brother to take care of this matter before it gets out of hand.
Aw Miss Prissy slinkered in w cup of coffee. didn't bring me a cup but my pj grown n silky housecoat n slippers look nice on her. wish that she would have asked if she could go thru my stuff n wear my cloths. granted it's only pj's that I got from VS. sigh.
Because of prior employee. I keep the rm closet locked.
Oh I'me not rich, I have service like in home care through my insurance, n my honey money daddy, n Brother pays for maintance n lawn service, car maintance for me.
I must have done something right in my life to have wonderful people who truely love me in my life. I'me soo blessed.

Serenity
Aw 9dys, That sounds wonderful. Hope when you returned home, you were able to get in some real R&R.
When my son's were young, I always would take couple dys for mini vacation from vacation, for myslf. The 1st dy bk as liken to dy off work is non stop work geting ready for following wk..
Thanks Kathy
Today is dy 17 or 18 smoke free. God has his hand on me. I've been/am bless. I have no desire nor urges to smoke. It was easy for me to over come the association of actives n lighting up. I no longer want a cig w cup of coffee nor to smoke when I'me in car...
I had a dy of withdraw butI didn't give in. that dy I stayed home as not to be around nor see people smokeing nor walk through lingering smoke at entrance of public places.
I put a no smokeing sign on my ft door, now I want a sign for dash board in my car. I throught that I had brought 1 for car but I must have looked at it n too many more n just didn't pick it off the rack to buy.
Jen
I'me just Miss Chatter Box who shares some of my dyly life w our DS group buddys. If no one doesn't reply on post or post for couple dys. I wonder about you, n our friends, n grow somewhat concern.
This is wk we're going to mantain, n grow stronge, n gain healthier life style.
This wk my goal is to lose 2 lbs. I'll be striveing for 5 lbs
I set mini goals by the wk. a goal a wk.
Oh ya since I quit smokeing I gained a nose of hound dog,lol
This wk I'm have capet cleaned n hard floors steamed clean. I have neighbour who going to wash wall in my home. I have another neighbour who going to paint rm that I use to smoke in.
I already replaced my 4 dogs bedding, n thier floor mats.I scrubbed thier inside houses.
I don't mean to harp on this but to those who smoke. of course people not going to tell us to our face that smokers right down stink.I'me still tossing out cloths because thier stained from smoke n no matter how many times I run them thur washer there still stained in seams.
yesterday my man stated that, last wk was 1st time that he didn't feel like he was licking an ash tray, when he kissed me..
Wkly if I lost weight he buys me something, now he started the same for every 3 dys that I'me smoke free.
Before n during my weight lost journy, I held on to some of my nicer cloths. I had planned on buy a few new pcs after I reached my final weight goal. will he has already started.
I held on to my shoes. for quite sometime non of my shoes fit. yep when I gained weight so did my feet.
Yesterday I slip on ring that I hadn't been able to do so for yrs.
Will so far this morning I'v had 20oz of ice water, 1/2 cup of fibr cereal. 1/2 cup of org juice n 2 cup of coffee.
Mid moring I'm going to have 1/2 cup of oat meal, n 2 prunes. for dinner I'me having salad that has everything in it but kitchen sink eggs. Today I added imitatiom chunks of lobster into salad.
Aw everyone can rub thier tired eyes, n butts, n run to bth rm. I'me done rambleing on n on n on...
Good Morning from east coast to you n our group family.
On Fri 29 I'me going to let this post exspire.
Will employ still works for me. I felt really bad for her. she cried to keep this acct/me.
I had 2 of my freinds to come over, we picked out n gave the young woman 3 outfits, sexy underwaer, n 3 prs of pj's, n housecoat, n 2 prs of house slip on shoes, n a few hair clips. These iten were nice but not costly.
Oh my goodness the girl fell on bed n cried her eyes out.There really not exspence items. uncertain but I think that $2. hair clips is from Sally beauty store.
We worked out deal. she is allowed to spend wk ends/her dys off at my home. all she has to do is tidy up kitchen n my bth rm, n keep her rm cleaned.
I don't think that she may not earn enough for gas for her car for her jobs. she works for in home care service.
her home is located infarm county/ adjoining county. ya that blew my mind too
The down side is that she a smoker. She to go outside to smoke but she will smell like cigs just like I use too.
Will. according to scale this morning, I have lost another lb.. I have reached my mini goal for this wk. I'v have lost 2 lbs.
Early this morning I left message for my honey to bring me my new shoes. I want the pr of N.Kirkwood shoes that he brought me a few mo's ago. we're slowly rebuilding warbrobe. will he is.
.I had a bad slip n gained 10 lbs.
Shoes n pasta being my weakness. My man rewards m w gifts when I lose weight n keep the weight off.
Late night I came to start watching QVC. it's a 24/7 store on tv. I order n have 2 tops from QVC. they are of fair quility n pretty n in fashion. they don't have box shape like my big size cloths do. I also orderd a 14ct gold clad toe ring. I sent it bk yesterday. they sent me tiny toy toe ring that looks nothing like they showed.
I should have known better. I had gave nighbour grandchild a pc of jewely that I had brought from QVS. I like QVC cloths.
Today I only have 1 head of hair to do. I do my friends hair. I can't do my own.
Yesterday I just did a freiend husband beard n washed his hair. beard just needed a trim. LOL, he got he also got his nose n ear hairs shaved off, yakka,lol
This morning I had 20 oz of water,protein drink, 3 cups of coffee, 2 cups of dry fiber one cereal, peach, small banana,org juice.
Later today I'me going to start on eatting left overs. left overs that I hadn't made into portions n froze in plastic zip lock top bags.
However, due to weather, I might dig through deep freezer n have chili w 6 wheat crackers.
for dinner I'me haveing some left over salad.
Yesterday, I also ate at 1 of my fav rest. I even parked in parking lot. it was like my taste buds were dancing. it was hard but we made it without going in. woo that was a close call. Of course I saw a Subway along the way home, ya I through about how good sub woul taste but we by pass it, sigh. it was like all the rest n fast food places where lite up like a neon light to get me to c n stop n eat.
Will thats bit of my diet/dyly life.

LOL, my dogs stand on thier hind legs n spin around when they want to be feed. I got side tracked this morning. I jjave schedul n if I get distracted it miss w my whole dy.
Have a wonderful n easy day w sunshine n no cold wind.
whats new in your corner of world
This past wk end I tried to fast but I should know not to saying anything to my friends... because when I tell them I'me going on/on fast they over stock my kitchen/house w junk/foods/plates of cooked meals, n of course at least once a dy somone will order pizza.
This past wk end I locked myself in my rm.
Oh my. everyone wouldn't stop. I have enough in my kitchen where I wouldn't need to shop for 1.5 yrs.That doesn't includ the food that I already had pkaged n stored in freezer's.
Of course they would pound on door, insisting that I open bd rm dr, n take trays of food's/meals/junk.
So ea dy just set my fast into another dy.
Ya,on Sunday, when no one was here I open the door just wide enough to get a slice of pizza, n box of chocolates.I managed not to open box of chocolate until late Wed evening.
Will ya just outside my bd rm door was tea cart stacked w food :I
Here it is Thur, I'm still trying to get people to leave me alone so that I can complete a fast.
Today I breifly ventured out of my rm. I freak out because od overwelming amount of foods outside my bd rm door, n kitchen, n party trays of fruits n rew vegs that covered the ft rm tables.
I'me toying w thought of possible leaveing state, n staying at hotel, so that I can do a 2 dy fast, w/o being pestered...
I wouldn't even tell my man because he will send boxs of candy...
So far this wk, he with held shoes, n dress because I wouldn't open bd rm door for him.
I only get a gift for every 5 lbs I lose. I hadn't lost weight so I refused to open loced bd rm dr.
Anyway. Fri. I'me going to try to do a 2 dy fast instead of taken wk. to do a 2 dy fast n still not getting in 2 dy fast.
Sorry if this doesn't make much since.
I'me on prescription sleep aid. Bk to bd I go.
I moved a month ago and have been depressed since then. Trying to get back to a normal life but right now everything is a mess.
I also seemed to have lost my scale in the move so I just ordered a new one.
Going to go read and catch up on what everyone has been up to.
The stress of moveing is liken to stress of divorce. Hopeful that u have settled into your new place, n orginized. I dislike unpacking box's, n espically carrieing in grocerys.
Sorry that your too deal w depression. it bites the cake.
Most people have seasonal depression, n some are effect by changes in/of dyly/wkly weather.
I think that everyone has some level of the blues in winter mo's, n on rainy days.
Good news is that it seems like there is a medication for everything, n I can feel summer. woowee I couldn't wait for winter to end.I didn't think that it was going to.
So far I have lost 14 lbs. I set wkly mini goals. mini goal consist of loseing 1 to 5 lbs a wk, n allotting myself up to 2 to 3 wks to do so.
For a long time I had 5 lb that presisted on yoyoing. then I gained another 5 lbs , n oh yes I couldn't stop there, so I gained another 5 lbs.
recently I decressed my cal intake not the amount of food, n once a dy, I've been walking the mall for an hour.
I've also decressed fiber cereal intake. I was haveing to much.
I have my morning water, juice, n coffee at home.
I walk mall for about 30 minutes, then I relax at Star Bucks, while I have cappi w soymilk 1 sweet n low n pump of protein - fiber in my coffee ( 120 cals ) I watch mall walkers for about 30 minutes, then I resume walking. This seems to be working will for me.
I think that being outside my home n doing something outside house lifts my mood. I know that just doing the mall thing wears me out n is helping me t lose weight.
I don't like visiting my freinds at thier homes only because I find that people center thier llives around n by foods, plus I can only drink so much coffee.
MinHiding I will keep you in my prayers.
Together we will achive of mini weight lost goals...
