Happy Hump Day Menuer's. CPR class went well yesterday, and we have a budget meeting later today for next year's budget. Went through another tote downstairs and pulled some Tupperware out that I haven't used in over 15 years, so it looks like it's time to sell it no need to hang on to stuff that I don't use anymore. Still can't believe how much stuff I've collected over the years. Irvin and I made a deal he cleans up the stuff outside and I do the stuff inside. I think I got worst part of the deal because there is a lot of crap in the house. LOL
QOTD: Does anyone know someone who hoards things and doesn't want to get rid of anything? Yes unfortunately I do. One of my sister's has so much stuff in her house that honestly it is a fire hazard. Two of her bedrooms are so full of stuff that you can't even open the doors, but halfway. My mom was like that up until she ended up in hospital back in January. Since she's been home and not working she's actually been going through stuff and either donating it or throwing it away. I've told her that she doesn't have to keep years and years of paid bills.
B: coffee and slice of quiche
L: buffalo chicken salad over garden salad
D: chicken burgers on the grill
30 minutes on the treadmill and 10 minutes on the vibrating platform

Wow Mel you and your mom really got some great deals. I need to get a new vacuum sealer, but I'm not sure which one I want.

As an add on to the QOTD. We went to Wally World because my mom needed something. We went to the clearance isle and they had Henckels knifes on clearance. We got a 3 piece set for 12 dollars. They had one with a knife block for 45 but we don't need that.
they had some really good deals. 20 dollar food saver and boxes of bags for 2 dollars. We had needed a new vacuum sealer due to ours being so old. We use them a lot, packages of the velvet hangers for 5 bucks. My mom got some legos that were really cheap(her and my brother love legos). Stainless steel solid measuring cups for 3.

Good evening all,
Just wanted to post and say hi.
Today was a really nice day. I got to spend an hour on the deck this morning drinking coffee and listening to nature. I was able to help an acquaintance to laundry. I played an hour of cards. I had a somewhat pleasant conversation with the landlord about issues in the house. I took the dog for a long walk in the park and he ran some energy off. I showed a recent video of my dog 'smoking' to different people.'

"I wonder if pizza thinks about me, too."
When I moved a few years ago I got rid of a lot of my old knives and bought a Henckels set with built in sharpeners in the knife block. It has worked out great for me. If I did a lot of cooking now I would definitely consider the Japanese knives.

Good Morning Jenniefer and Menuers,
It is beautiful this morning but after 2:00 it is supposed to go downhill. They are calling for huge storms with chances of big hail and tornadoes. We have always been lucky, and this usually misses us, so fingers crossed. The last thing I want to deal with is Hail to my new car. Hopefully it at least holds off till I get it in the garage.
QOTD: I have a few Zwilling and Henkle and are primarily my go to. I bought all my good knives at estate sales. I have a few Cutco too I have picked up. They have lifetime warranty, so I buy beat up ones at sales and mail them back for replacements. They are good knifes.
Accountability: I made protein balls with banana protein PeanutButter and chi seeds and honey and been overeating on them.

Good Morning! Off to a good start for the day, productive day yesterday, slept pretty decently, have my workout in so ready to crush the day! I will spend a large part of my sitting with my new hire training her, as we ramp up for the upcoming payroll.
QOTD: I had to look, our day to day set is a simple Martha Stewart set but John has a Henckels for slicing meat that I don't use. We joke that I'm not allowed to use it, I have a history of being a klutz and in general just moving too fast doing things so it's not out line for me to avoid using something that sharp.
