Hey Y'all,
I had to go through 2 pages! We will need a new thread in a week. lol
We had grilled burgers, chips & wine on the patio for dinner. I love evenings that are nice enough to have a leisurly dinner outside. But it's a good thing we came in before dusk. The termites were swarming & we had a bunch that got into the house. Ugh, nothing like having a termite crawling on you, while you are sitting in the dark watching tv.
Alexis got into the pool for the 1st time yesterday. Her lips were turning blue, when I made her get out! She picked up right where she left off on swimming last year, she's really doing well.
Okay I multi quoted so this is going to be long.
Okay girls, we are heading over to my parents for dinner. They miss their little guy and actually he has been good all day. We are just about to leave, update you all later on what DM prepared.
Last week, I never posted one night she made me roast leg of lamb, carrots, broccoli, cresent rolls and red bliss mashed with homemade gravy....It was heavenly!!!
Sherly, sorry to hear Angelina did not get the offer she was hoping for. Continued prayers on her job search.
Oh that dinner sounds so good! I'm glad you're Mom has been feeding you so well!
Hi all! The date didn't go yet. He had some unexpected things come up plus he had to work. Anyway thanks all for your concern it was just that oh so special time.It seems to be getting worse as I get younger
I refuse to get
older
Not sure yet WFD I'll be back when I figure that out.
So you are going to reschedule the date, right?
Hope you feel better soon!
Sheryl - I'm so sorry to hear about the job not panning out for A.
Sheryl I saw that the job didn't work out for Angelina. I have confidence that if it is the right job for her they will sweeten the pot.
Tonight is grilled chicken breasts, rice and a salad.
Kat, That's what I'm hoping for! They knew she would be on vacation this week, so hopefully when she returns she'll get good news on it. She did apply again to that 1st company she was talking to, but really doesn't want that job, just because the back stabbing ex-friend is working there.
Sheryl ~ A is in my prayers, so sorry about the job.
Dinner was a cheese omelette & wheat toast.
Thanks for the prayers! How are you two feeling? Is your sinus pain improving? How has Greg been feeling? Prayers are ongoing for both of you.
We decided to go with the other idea my DH had for moving; where the company drives the truck down so we are FLYING down on June 30!
It is actually cheaper that way, and DH feels better that I won't be driving all 1400 miles (he's not licensed...that's his July project.)
We didn't do the French Fries for dinner; they take a long time and we were lazy. Here's a picture of the sandwiches:
Woohoo, Food Porn from Bethany!!!
Way to go girl! Now please tell me what's a french dip? I'm guessing roast beef sammie with au jus dipping sauce?
I'm glad to hear you won't have to drive all that way! Your DH made a wise decision, that's going to be so much easier.
Bethany- that sandwich looks so good to me! I love French Dips.
WFD- DM made meatloaf with gravy, baked potatoes, stewed tomatoes, french style green beans, and salad. I don't love meatloaf but it tasted great since I did not have to cook it.
I'm not a meatloaf fan either. DH asked me a couple of weeks ago if I'd make one. I told him yes but it has been weeks since I said okay. I don't think I've made one for him in years.
Hi everyone! I wanted to share my good mood. Liam got to pitch for the first time tonight, and wow, was he great! The coach called it a "phenomenal" performance and dads from the other team were coming up to me saying how good he was, and they sure were glad he reached his pitch count because now the team had a chance.
Liam's team won for the first time this season, so Liam and the team were just completely joyful. Liam went to bed the happiest I have seen him in a LONG time. He even gave me a huge hug and didn't want to let go (at home, of course...not in front of his teammates
) I am so excited for him. Not only was he proud of his pitching, he was also proud that he hit the ball every time he was up tonight. I just love baseball season.
Sheryl -- I hope Angelina is having fun in NYC. The way I read your post, I thought the job was still a possibility if they came back with a better offer. Did they decide against that?
Ellen -- I'm sorry to hear Jay is leaving so soon. My thoughts are with you and your family. I know it is not an easy time.
Liam, Yeah!!! Congratulations on a great game!
That must have been some great pitching! Fathers from the other teams coming over to talk about it! Wow!
Laura, I'm glad y'all had such a fun evening! Hopes for many more this baseball season.
You are right, Angelina is waiting to hear back from them. They knew she'd be on vacation this week, she was just hoping they'd get back to her before she left.
Ellen, I'm sorry I totally missed something! I went back looking for your post and couldn't find it. I read in Laura's post that Jay is leaving, but I'm embarrassed to tell you I don't understand the details. But I can tell your family needs
& prayers
.
I hope this is actually a food thread LOL. We are having homemade mexican food tomorrow in honor of Cinco De Mayo. No recipes other then my mom puts chili o in the hamburger meat along with the taco seasoning. I can't wait til tomorrw. I may even break my diet rule and have a margaritta at home. I stopped drinking at home unless I have company to help lose weight. iI only get drinks when I go out to eat and more then made up for it yesterday with 3 peach martinis. I can't drink like I used to which is a fine thing. I came home and passed out on the couch for a couple of hours and woke up with a mild hangover. Oh well that is the price you pay to have some fun.
Welcome to our occasional food thread! My drinks are my diet killer too! But if figure wine is better than mixed sweet drinks, right?!
I don't know what's for dinner tonight but we probably will have either sangria or margarita's. I mean I HAVE to something for Cinco de Mayo!
can't post it all in one post....
