Mon. QOTD: What part of your body do you like right now? What can you do to nurture or show off that part of your body this week?
My face. I have been able to see a difference lately and I like it. I'm wearing my ruby necklace I got 75% off at Target awhile back today in honor I guess ;-) Trying to wear more makeup for work too- I just normally use concealer and powder.
I seriously need to work on my middle. It has too much flab and makes me feel uncomfortable. I am looking forward to getting it toned and awesome
Yeah I was feeling your pain trying on the bra--my waist is definitely loose-- the stretch marks don't look good with less fat under them. Ugh.
Is Catherine's a plus size store? I had never heard of it. I am in the same boat with the new bra - I don't know whether to cheer or cry!
Yeah, seems I havent gone down a cup size but wear a 34 better than 36 now. I think some of my other ones were just kind of stretched out too. And Catherines is a plus sized store yep.
Yes, yes it surely is! You make the fall sound so wonderful!
Doesn't everyone here though? I envy some of you with more pronounced seasons. Although everyone likes fall here too. I'd like it better if it were drier. I remember finding one of our kitties- well husband found her-- at his work in pouring down rain on Halloween almost starved to death. She was sitting in front of the pop machine they have in their smoking are outside for the warmth. She is a mystery really- she is so extremely affectionate (mostly to me) but very skittery. She must have just been dumped there because that is where we got 3 other kittens that were
very feral. Coming back to the subject though, it had been raining for most of Oct. that month and he said some other people had seen her running around there for weeks. He always would put food by the dumpster for the cats- leftover sandwiches etc. She must have been existing on just this.
I remember feeling so sorry for her because it had rained so much and her just running around hungry and scared. She also had a huge hole in her foot--seriously, the vet squirted alcohol and it went right through. I'm sure I have a pic of her somewhere on the computer but she's just a shorthaired black cat-- kind of a stocky build. Another one who I'd love to get on kitty biggest loser.
QOTD: Do you have a favorite herb, spice, or other seasoning?
I am a garlic fiend. Seriously- I have a Johnny's Garlic that I use like a salt shaker. There's also a Johnny's seasoning salt that is the Bomb.
Oh also-- I don't think I answered the part about how you could encourage the family to be more active over the weekend? Well, my son and I went for a good walk Friday night I think. I wish I'd got another in but I was tired Sunday and spent my whole night watching tv after work lol-- didn't realize the new Fox lineup was all new.
Sat was my fun day getting my glasses, lol. I spent 4 hours+ at a Goodwill outlet up there and seriously it was 4 hours of maniacally sorting through bins packed with clothes(and other misc.). My arms were actually tired the next day. Found some great clothes in sizes that will fit me now though for practically nothing,(everything was $1.39 a lb.) a big electric blanket for the cats in the garage, and a very cool plastic christmas candle light up thingie (which weighed nothing lol) among other things.
I also visited Honeywood winery which was great-- they had marked down all their gourmet food stuff to $1 each- I got a bunch of stuff for making gift bags. I went there to buy a six pack on their wine since it is Awesome wine and you get 20% off if you do, but ended up just getting one bottle of triple berry since I already have a lot of wine and got such a good deal on all the food stuff.
I also ate at Burgerville..hey I had to get my veggies in right. Sweet potato fries helped me with that...lol.
I am so happy to get my glasses though! They did a great job and they aren't too awfully thick--my prescription is a substantial one and it would have cost an extra 30$ to get the thin lenses (not a lot after I thought about it- shoot) but I only wear them in the morning and sometimes in the evening if my contacts are bugging me at all. The deal was 2 pairs of glasses for $69.95 including eye exam and they gave me one for reading and one for distance-- right on. My eye doctor always has said I needed a pair for reading really. I was expecting professor Trelawney glasses-- but they are fine.
I also like cilantro 
Mikamah, sorry to hear about another loss in your family. You are a strong person to handle these losses so well.
Woops! Here is how it happened: I was up late last night and decided to post the QOTD before I went to bed. And so I looked at my watch which said 9/29 and thought "oh, but this is for tomorrow" so changed the date to 9/30! Little did I know that it was already tomorrow! 
, corinnak, hope that your day is less hectic today.
I am still in the decompress mode this week and will do my first weigh in on Friday. I don't want to know what it will look like! 
I am still unemployed, so the stress is still high there, but I started grad school a few weeks ago, so I don't have time to be depressed or bored! I am in an accelerated full time program and still looking for a job, so I am more than busy!
gets to pick whatever she wants for dinner tonight since it's her b-day, and it will be carry-out since we won't get home from all the kids' activities til around 8. I'm really hoping she picks something I can eat too without feeling guilty!
)
! Sorry for the delay 
, they will be posted tonight 
Can you eat just 1/2 or even 3/4 of what is picked if it's not too good for you? You have to be able to indulge once in awhile or things are not going to be doable long term.
