Hi everyone.I am SOOOO far behind on all of your posts.We had a busy few days.Friday night we had out astronomy club meeting and got home late.Saturday we got up early and headed to Denver.We met my sister and her husband for breakfast.My sister and I split a breakfast so we could save room for our lunch at one of our favorite Italian restaurants.She and I went shopping while Marty met my nephew to play golf.
My sister wanted to buy clothes.She is the one who is very overweight.I was excited to hear she has been trying to eat less and since they are giving her collagen injections in her knees she can walk more and she has lost a size in tops since last year.Woo hoo for her!
I only bought a shirt on sale at Eddie Bauer.All the lightweight, sleeveless summer clothes are out now and there are only about 2 days of the year I am actually that hot so I didn’t see anything that tempted me clothes-wise.
Then we went to my favorite diamond store and I looked at about 6 EC diamonds and none of them were knocking my socks off.I was about ready to ask to see some fancy colored sapphires but she brought one more half carat EC diamond out and it was very sparkly just getting it out of the paper.I ended up buying it and had it mounted in a YG solitaire ring.The stone is .55 ct, E SI2.The amazing thing is the diamond is eye clean.The few inclusions are light and easily found in a loop but I cannot find them naked eye.I have been enjoying it today.
I have been working on laundry today and made some 104 calorie muffins for my mid-morning snack this week.They aren’t very big but I enjoy having them as a treat.
My nose is doing a lot better.The 2 small spots (one mole and one on my nose) are healed up enough I am going to quit wearing bandages on them.That leaves the big spot on the side of my nose and the back of my neck are vastly improved but still need covered up for at least a few more days.None of them are bothering me at all though.
DeeJay, you are becoming an amazing running machine.Woo hoo.I sure hope your shin doesn’t bother you too much.Rats for those potato chips showing up on the scale but they are salty so it’s probably water retention.
Appletini, I need to give myself a pedicure – thanks for reminding me. I am allergic to Neosporin but the doctor recommended using Vaseline and that is working so far.I have been cleaning them twice a day with sterile cotton pads and diluted hydrogen peroxide.
Rod, I still haven’t went to see Star Trek yet but I am anxious to see it.I am glad the chiropractor is changing your treatments and that your leg is feeling better.My uncle is an orthopedic surgeon and he always tells me to take Advil.It seems to work great for me too.Glad you vegged out yesterday.
Babysteps, you will bust through 160 pounds in no time.I am so excited for you.Glad they caught your melanoma in time.I have a lot of moles and I am like you if they look funny or bother me they are gone.You are in Hong Kong?Marty might be going there soon for work for a week.We are mole soul mates then, I have had a ton taken off too but the one on my neck was one of my largest that is why they never removed it before.The spots on my nose were just skin growths.I scar pretty easily and the dermatologist I used to go to always put in a shot of cortisone so I wouldn’t scar.I never thought of mentioning that to this doctor so I hope the spot on my nose doesn’t scar badly.I use Clinique so I plan on keeping their lotion on those spots all the time until they heal all the way.I think that will help.
Dani, sorry to hear you are struggling but I hope you don’t stop posting on the thread on rough days, we are here for you.Just work on it one day at a time.LOL at mowing down all the pre-portioned things the pantry before; I am sure we all have days like that. Good job figuring out what you could eat at Olive Garden.I love their break sticks too.That is awesome your DH is helping you now.
Bee, glad to hear your recent exams are going well.My headache is gone now, thank you.I had to laugh at your comment about eating and drinking your weight in food and wine but that is wonderful you had a great time.
Lisa, I saw your EC in Bo’s EC thread.It is gorgeous.I am very sorry to hear about your grandmother passing away last year.Happy Birthday to you and your sister.A meatloaf muffin sounds like the perfect portion.Let me know what they are like if you ever try them.I am sending you mega PS dust on your job interviews.Have a nice visit with everyone at home.
Danielle, I hope your running is going well.Good luck next weekend.Congratulations for finishing your 5.5 K run this weekend.
Skippy, what a great surprise for your sister to a get a bike.You both will enjoy going for rides soon.I am glad to hear your knee is going to be fine.I am sorry to hear your hands are blistered.The swim party sounds really fun.Sorry to hear the cake gave you a tummy ache.I hope you are better now.
Sharon, rats for rainy weather.At least you don’t have to shovel it.The cuppies sound great.We were watching the Barefoot Contessa today and she was making her chocolate cupcakes.They looked divine.
Lorelei, yay for time on the hamster wheel.Glad to hear it was nice today and you had a lovely walk.
Tlh, the Dixie cups are a great idea.I have some gel packs that I keep in the freezer that work wonders on aches and pains.Great attitude about how well you do in a race.Last summer I walked in the race for the cure; only a mile but it was one of the proudest accomplishments of my life.
Elmorton, glad to hear Morty is doing well.Sorry to hear you had to wear bandages on your nose in college.I am sure that generated many questions.I am sure the scabs would trigger fewer comments.Enjoy your break between semesters.I bought the Curad Hypoallergenic bandages and they are working pretty well.
White Orchid, glad to hear you wanted to work out longer. It’s a shame we have to go to work, huh?Congratulations for losing another 2 pounds.
Take care.
Marcy
Rod, I was so excited to see you did post a comment on my EC ring.I rarely see you post anywhere else but here.Thanks.I am glad you are making progress on your leg and having less pain, whatever is working I hope it continues.Glad to hear you are planning a long weekend next week.Sakai sounds so sweet.I will have to ask Marty if he knows Chopard (I am sure he does).His Omega is a diver’s watch with a bezel, I can’t remember the model.He is enjoying it.I hope you get both an Omega and Chopard someday.What color was your mustang?I am sure it was a great first car for you.I bought mine when I got out of college and my dad restored it.He was a mechanic by trade.We actually found one that the body was primed and ready to paint but the engine needed a complete overhaul.My dad did all the mechanical work on it and we had it painted.I mistakenly had original lead based paint put on it but it oxidized so bad we have to have it striped off and repainted with acrylic paint.I had it until Marty and I got married then we sold it for a more practical car.I was proud of my mustang too.
