What's on your menu today (Photo Friday) RNYers?

Jamberry wraps are so cute. I think it's Hillary that sells them!

Do they make that pumpkin spice in a sugar free version? Our SB went down to only vanilla in SF syrups, and it makes me sad.

They unfortunately do not make it sugar free :( this is a skinny hazelnut latte from Scooters (not sure if they're everywhere or just Midwest?) I think all SB went to vanilla as the only sugar-free option which sucks, so I've been going to other coffee places more often. The nails are in homage to the PSL I no longer drink.

I sell Jamberry too, so most of my manis are jam products, whether wraps, or lacquers or gel. I am my own biggest customer though, lol.

Those are some fancy nails! My wife would love them!

They're easy to apply :) I'd give you my sales pitch, but I won't solicit on the board lol.

Happy Friday all~ So happy the weather has cooled off around here. Looking forward to a nice relaxing football weekend. Bummed about the Patriots loss last night, but I really enjoyed watching them play, I just love it!

Rob had a phone interview with the other partner yesterday that went very well and he is anticipating an offer today! Please keep those good thoughts coming and chickens swinging! He always stays so cool...I wish I could, my anxiety is killing me.

QOTD - My creativity - As a kid I loved to paint. As an adult -I would cook, pour over cookbooks and pinterest and make magic in the kitchen all the time. That has changed big time... I'm learning to love different things but feel a bit lost right now. I don't have any real hobbies or any hobby i'm interested in really... Although this is not necessarily creative, I do want to spend more time outside hiking, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, biking, maybe even running someday, maybe... I really want make being active my hobby!

v/l-on track

e-struggling due to anxiety and few up in the air life situations...I was able to stay the course through the months when my mom was sick, when she passed and the aftermath with family and dad... I think I needed it to stay sane then and my home life was very stable. Right now, home life is off (but will settle soon), maybe that is it. I need to be able to stay on track though and not let things get to me in this way.

Thought this was so adorable Have a great day all!!!

I guess my creativity comes out in the kitchen as well. I'm still pretty creative with cooking, I've just moved it over to the LC stuff. You can still get creative with those recipes too!

Sorry you're going through a lot of home life stuff. I completely understand though... maybe it's the time of the year, because it seems a lot of people are struggling in that area as well.

I can't wait for a more food freedom with maintenance, I'm dying for veggies and variety. I think that will bring me back to life in the kitchen again!!

I agree, the struggle is 'going around' for a lot of people. Thank you, Pamela!

I love kitchen creativity, but I too have lost some interest in my kitchen adventures since surgery. I understand. Hang in there and hopefully once the job situation is settled for Rob, things will ease off. HUGS!

Thanks, Janet. I'm hoping the creativity will return in maintenance! Until then, I'm just too cautious! Things always work themselves out. I just wish I could let go of the anxiety.

Janet, you have really come a long way!!! I love that your pictures all are in the same place, it really helps you to see the changes when they are all similar like that.

QOTD: This is where I am struggling right now. Life has been in complete chaos, it seems forever now, and I am not doing things FOR ME.... And I don't even know what it is I want to do for me that is creative or otherwise calming for an outlet. I'm struggling in a few places in my life right now. This whole adulthood business is for the birds at times.

Accountability... I had a big glass of wine last night, and munched on a bag of leftover chips from the birthday party on Saturday... boo for me.

Menu

24ounce decaf while I stood outside with everyone from my office since we had an actual fire - well sort of - this morning. One of the elevators caught fire in the gears, so we were all shuffled outside for about 30 minutes

B: Late breakfast since I had a meeting immediately following said fire issue (I'm in the Safety dept). 2.5 ounces of steak

S: If I need it, that 1/2 burger that's been staring me down all week long

L: 2.5 ounces of steak

S: I have some pepperoni/marinara cheddar in the fridge

D: Chicken breast... something... they are defrosted and I need to cook them, just don't know what I feel like doing with them at this point.

My son and I last weekend... He's going through some **** right now, but I think it's all going to be OK in the end (and Sissy, my little spoiled Yorkie!)
