Good morning! First I would like to say it was nice seeing a new face yesterday, SmerkyGrl...always encouraging new faces so if anyone is tempted to just stop in and say hello...http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee109/jeannie216/HELLO.gif (broken link)...please do. And a little update on my soap opera...after our septic failed and we were told we needed a new system, 21K or so, an engineer has now told us that we just need a new field and are now down to about 10K or less, although expensive, not as much as we were first led to believe. Although the buyers are still trying to bleed us dry this week, I have now told my realtor "house as is" septic will be repaired but nothing more. Now, we're waiting for their response. Coffee with suctrose and milk...http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee109/jeannie216/CoffeeCup-1.gif (broken link)have a great day everyone! http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee109/jeannie216/kevin.jpg (broken link) just wanted to make sure you were all awake. By the way, any questions as to why my 10 year old is named Kevin? Jeannie
Gee this forum is nicer than any of the other forums I've been to on CD! Thanks for the warm welcome!
This morning: 1 cup of hot chocolate, 1 toasted tortilla with a dash of salsa.
No idea what lunch is going to be, as I did not pack it.
Reflection on yesterday:
Lunch: Yellow rice with pineapple chicken
Dinner: Half a bowl of asian noodle soup with pork broth, an oatmeal and coconut cookie, an orange.
I was feeling kinda sick last night so I ended up ditching dinner halfway and going to bed.
Looking forward to a bright new day!
Oh, and 35 minute swim this morning, inspired by the ability to post that I swam this morning on this forum. Fun fun!

Thank you Smerkygrl. Hope your feeling better this morning. This is a nice place to come and visit and I would also like to encourage you to drop by the exercise forum and meet Karla. She does a great job over there and the people there couldn't be nicer. Have a great day!
Glad you "put your foot down" on that buyer. They will buy. The deal is too good not to. I am just glad you are not here now. We have about one month of miserable weather per year. It makes us appreciate the rest of the year. If you came now, you would be depressed and leave before the good weather gets here. North Carolina is usually beautiful in the Spring. Be sure you have a good umbrella. We get all that beautiful green from rain.
Coffee and milk--I am back to skimmed again. (1)
banana (1)
protein bar (4)
Have a good day everybody. Dh is off until Sunday, so I guess we will be out and about.
SmerkyGrl, sounds like you have met some of those other people. Like the ones who ask a dumb question and then bad rep because you give a sensible answer. I have started just finding someone everybody is beating up on and giving them good reps for support. I am "gun shy" to post on some of those threads.
Oh, I got brave and posted on some of the other forums. Watch my reps go down. I realized a long time ago that I do not think like the average American.
Guess I'm going to have to try those hushpuppies if I plan on moving to NC...
Do you not eat hushpuppies. Come to think of it, I had never had hushpuppies when I got married. I think my mom would have thought them too greasey. We had corn bread every day at what we called "supper." As I have said on other threads, Mom was a health nut. She lived to within a week of her 85th birthday.
I think hushpuppies are more of an Eastern North Carolina thing. I buy mine frozen in the grocery store and bake them in the oven. They are commonly fried in hot grease like french fries. I like them to eat because they are easy to calculate into points. I am really not into measuring corn bread squares.
Hushpuppies usually go with barbecue (pork, chicken, or beef), french fries, coleslaw, and for you ketchup.
I discovered corn bread in vegetable soup when we went to Tennessee on vacation. We used to have pinto beans and corn bread, or cabbage, or green beans. Corn bread makes everything better, but it is loaded with calories.
