Left the house and went shopping

Tue, 21 May 2013 17:19:33 EST

First time I have gone anywhere in 2 months. felt better than I have been this morning so i took advantage of it.
Went to Walmart ( actually 2 different ones) and we know I can always find something to buy there
I wanted to get another chef's knife and 10 inch pan with lid that I can use in oven.Also wanted to look at women's electric shaver. Could not find a pan like I wanted.
I did get a shaver. I hope it works. I have to be very careful with regular shavers as one cut means...

I did go over my food range by 80 calories. Not bad. The scale has moved so that is an incentive. Takes more planning for my meals.I always have my low cal soup but wanted something different today. I was going to make a sandwich but made the following for less calories. This plate of food was only 160 cal. As you can see I had already ate some.It is albacore tuna,celery,onion,little pickle and 1 tablespoon lite mayo.With 2 small tomatoes cut up and rest of pickle sliced up.

Grocery Day

Sat, 18 May 2013 18:00:48 EST

I had thought about going with Bill but another sleepless night wore me out. I did get some sleep after 6 so that is better than yesterday.
Bill got some chicken sausages which we have never tried. They are only 130 calories for a large link. I fixed mine in some saute' cabbage etc. Whole meal was only 375 calories.

I finally bit the bullet and took new starting over pics. I have both along with ones from when...

Needless to say I didn't sleep well so feel pretty crappy. I should sleep tonight
I happened to look out my kitchen window and had a nice surprise. One of my plumarias that has never bloomed had blooms on it. I took a couple from the side and Bill just took one from above.I love the bright colors of this one. Plus some other blooms and a couple of birds that stopped by. The birds didn't noticed me and they had the strangest chirp.

Yes it is ok to laugh. I do everytime I see the sides. Looking straight on isn't too bad but from the side it is soooo bad. No hair getting to my ears.But like I said.It will grow out. And we had a fun time while he was cutting it. If my girl doesn't get better maybe I will try out a buzz cut 246

Bill Had Wayyyy Too Much Fun Cutting My hair

Thu, 9 May 2013 19:07:53 EST

He was liking it too much. He was laughing too much.At one point he asked if he could glue back some on floor to cover the holes he made. Good thing is it feels better and it will grow out.
Abigail's birthday party is tomorrow. Can't believe she is 2 years old.
My oldest son called today to say he would drop by on Saturday for awhile and bring a vegetarian lunch. He also told me if I wouldn't embarrass him he would accept me as a friend on facebook. I just laughed at him. He is almo...

My new shorts came today. Good news and not so good news. I was hoping the cheaper pair would fit. BUT The more expensive pair are much more comfortable. That's the way it always goes. So I decided to order another pair and Bill kept pushing me to order more so I did. Like he said I don't spend much money and never go anywhere. I am tired of wearing night gowns all the time.

I planned to make some potato skin type potatoes for supper. Got them all cut and seasoned and made inside p...

I Made Fried Rice Today

Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:33:22 EST

I made this today and it is good. I added small cubes of chicken thigh and fresh corn off a cob of corn. I also cooked with olive oil. Because of soy sauce I won't be able to make it much.

3 cups cooked white rice (day old or leftover rice works best!)

Bill & Eleni story

Sat, 27 Apr 2013 20:03:10 EST

I told Bill yesterday he needed to give me a good Bill story. So he did this morning. But I out did him big time.
He had a run in with another lizard. He was sitting outside in gazebo. He felt something on his leg. Before he could ever do anything he felt something on his stomach.Then in a flash it was on his shoulder. He tried to grab it but it ran away. The lizards sure love him. Better him than me. 334
But I have won a Gold medal for making mess in kitchen. Bill said ...

Ok What can I talk about.
We took the van off our insurance today so we will get a newer cheaper cost. I am so insurance poor.
Bill is so funny with his cooking. he is starting to get ideas when he grocery shops. He got a bag of soup stuff and made it for supper. He just told me not to tell you as he wants full credit for making it. LOL He did doctor it up with ground turkey meat and canned tomatoes. I think he is liking to cook.
He brought home a kids DVD called the Guardians....

Another do nothing day.
The weather is beautiful and sunny.
Oh Bill's van finally sold. He has had it on a lot on consignment. now we can take insurance off. Will save us on car insurance. I rarely drive without him . He has been using my car all the time. He has his classic truck he can drive.
My sister husband is home.
I can't think of anything to say today. I really am a very boring person. 334

Overcast and cloudy and a little rain today.
I still had enough ground buffalo for a cheeseburger for supper. I do like it.
Bill picked up a movie from red box today.
django. Except for being on bloody side it looks good so far. When you see Tarantino movie you know it will have some gory in it. About black slave that becomes bounty hunter while searching for his wife.I do not like the plantation scenes but that was how it was then. That makes me embarrased to be from the south...

I finally made the pineapple angel food cake and I did it wrong. I was suppose to use 20 oz of crushed pineapple and used 30. But it is still good. We both like it.At some point I will do it again the right way. Thanks Derinda (SEAWILLOW)
Grocery shopping is done. and everything put up thanks to Bill.

I did go out to gazebo with Bill for awhile yesterday. He goes out there to read and has been nagging me to go outside. I did and survived. The n...

Not a good day but Bill is such a sweetheart. He helped me get the soup bagged and cleaned the kitchen which was a mess. Now he is finishing up supper. I threw some ribs in oven earlier so he is making a side dish.
Did get my big girl panties in the mail. easier to order from JMS than hunt for large size in stores.

My day started with "talking" to Seawillow on facebook. Then later in the morning we talked on the phone. That was nice.
While Bill was shopping for shoes and books at library I made some potato salad so it would be cold by supper time. I rarely make it but Bill likes it so it was a surprise for him. He said it tasted different but I made it like I always do. He ate a big helping so it must have been ok. 334
Since I made potato salad he cooked the cube steaks and nuked t...

First congrats to my sweetie for doing so well in a horse shoe tournament today. He came in 3rd place and won $40. His horse shoe throwing is like his bowling was. He hasn't done it in over 30 years. I guess when you are good it stays with you.
I am glad to see him have fun doing something just for himself. he does so much for me and since he retired even more for me. He needs some Bill time. He never ever complains about doing for me. It bothers me more.
I made the gooey cookie b...

Bill got groceries today as he will be horse shoeing tomorrow. He now plays horse shoes too.
I saw some recipes on facebook I want to make. They are too high in calories to keep around. I just want to try them. When I made the fudge I only ate 3 small pieces. Gave the rest away. I had 3 of small cheese cake things. Bill ate all the rest. One is a gooie cookie bar,another is crock pot potato soup made with frozen hash browns and last one if pinwheel cheese and puff pastry appetizer. It wi...

Good day to stay in bed and I did for most of it. I continue to have fluid and breathing problems that get worse at night. I usually feel better this time of day. I am doing as much as I can and rest on really bad days is the way to go.

Bill is using the crock pot. But he cheated. I told him what to do. And what is easier than throw everything in pot and let it go. 334
My eating is horrible. Plus fluid is driving me nuts.
I did sleep a little better last night. Having trouble breathing and joint pain is the pitts.
Roxy went on naughty list today. We all laid now for a nap and just as we were dozing off she starts barking and runs to front door barking. And when she barks it is LOUD. About gave us ...

Watching Splash. It is cute. I would not do those dives.
Brianna came to do some cleaning and to spend time with me. She wanted to play dominos but i just wasn't up to it. Another bad night. had trouble breathing and lots of joint pain. I was miserable. I sure hope I can sleep tonight.
But I gave her the recipes for cheesecake and fudge. She is going to make the cheesecake.
She was so funny when she first got here. said she wanted to tell me something so I wouldn't see it on...

Another month has come and gone. Sure went by fast.
I decided to make the cheesecake things again as I did them wrong.Even tho Bill has eaten them. This time they are much better and taste more like cheesecake. I am a home cook but don't do much baking of sweets anymore. And this was first time to try this. I just plain old cooked them the first try too long.

Bill kept trying to get me to come in back room to lo...

Happy Easter

Nothing much going on.
I sent all the fudge to neighbor who gave us the pie. I also had some butterfinger eggs that I put in freezer out of sight. Even tho I did not like the small cheesecake Bill did . But I think I ruined it by over baking it. I am going to try it again just to see if I can make it better. I think it is suppose to be loose when you take it out and then it thickens.
My pictures of glasses mad glasses look about the same but they aren't. New ones are larger and edge...
