Good morning. Seems I'm bringing up the rear of the pack today. I keep getting distracted. Roger is off to play pickleball so I'm buckling down to get stuff done. Need to finish a birthday card, get some exercise in and clean up the back patio. We are going to see The Bee Gees tonight with a friend and will have a nice dinner first. It's a steak house, but I know I can get fish.
Yesterday I tried every excuse I could think of to not exercise. But I finally hauled myself out in the afternoon and got in three miles. I did great on most of my eating, but I did have jelly beans. That's actually what made me get off my butt and get the exercise in. Work off those jelly beans.
We have a fun and busy weekend ahead. Dinner and a show tonight, softball in the morning, Chicago the play tomorrow afternoon and the littlest grand's 10th birthday on Sunday. Need to get a little ready to visit with Jim and Marilyn next week! Excited about their visit.
QoTD: We had to look up how many countries there are and a list of them (195) and then go through them to come to our total of 16. More than we thought and a fun exercise for Roger and I to run through.

B: egg and bacon
L: the last of the chicken artichoke stew

Me! I remembered to count Italy and Vatican City separately.
For this southern California girl, 60's means long pants, long sleeve undershirt and a top shirt with a jacket always available. Because, clearly, I am a weather wuss.

Why does no one talk about the fried potatoes in Amsterdam? They are AMAZING. Just make sure you select your sauce before you get in line because they don't seem to appreciate a person standing in line going uhmm, ahhhh, ohhhhh! Even if you only eat two. If you like french fries at all, try their fries!!
Great pictures!! I thought the one was a pinball game, lol. When we were in Vegas last August we had an amazing view of the Sphere. We kept our curtains open all night and watched - very cool. Rob mentioned that mushrooms would definitely have added to the experience.

Good morning all and Happy Friday,
It's been a week. I'm anxiously awaiting a response from a counter proposal from Wednesday EOD. It will make my 1st half of 2024 so I'm really hoping it closes. On another front, I'm really trying to put principles over personalities dealing with a very special gentleman. He's power hungry and told me, "That's above my pay grade. I don't like doing things but I do like telling people what to do." We're all volunteers choosing to spend our time on this. I'm helping organize a Saint Patrick's function. Here's the flyer I created:
I fell last night while using the bathroom at 2am. I thought I was over being a fall risk. From what I remember, I was 1/2 awake and a bit shaky standing up. The next thing I know I'm on the floor with the over the toilet rack and it's contents covering me. I have a little mark on my forehead but am ok. It was a little scary.
QOTD- 5 countries. Does Texas count as a separate country again? That would make 6.
B: 1/2 bagel & lox.
L: grilled octopus.
D: Buffalo Chicken salad, broccoli.
