Oh, you don't know me very well! I am such a rule follower! My coworkers used to call me "By The Book Paula!". Fun fact though, I sometimes cheat at crossword by Googling the answer!

I actually don't pay a lot of attention to fat these days and just eat what I want, though I do try to concentrate on protein. I kind of violated that last night (getting protein) when I ordered eggplant parm but I do love the stuff - at least I can't eat much of it at a time.

Greetings all

It's sunny and nice here. I started the day rooting through drawers for something to wear that is presentable and lo! found a nice knit top that is years old but I forgot I had. I can't figure out how that happened because I don't have all that much in the way of clothing. Go figure.

So after that positive note, I went to the dentist to get the new crown installed. Easy right? Wrong. The crown was not shaped right and dentist tried but could not get it to fit. So after much fooling around the temporary crown went back on and a new one must be remade. So 45 minutes in the chair for nothing. Amazingly it was not too miserable.

After that there was the lunch ladies meet up. We went to a Mexican place that is very humble and also very authentic. There was a condiments bar with interesting looking things. It was fun. I ordered beans and rice due to the morning of mouth excavation. All the other stuff looked great. After that it was studio time for a load of glazing. Go it all done so there is more stuff for next week. I work again tomorrow afternoon. These past few days I have been gym-delinquent and must get back this weekend. DD and Peps you will find that minimal tasks expand to take up your time.

And DD sorry yesterday was rough for you. It is unfortunate that some older people descend into crankiness. Wishing the best for your friend's husband.

Peps thanks for the food porn. It all looks great. What is the orange soup? I agree with DD - eat what you want and don't worry.

Liz sorry your SIL is not doing well. Hope you can help her with a dress. Sounds like this trip will be hard for her.

So the lunch ladies was a reminder of aging issues. Several of us hobbled in and much of the discussion was of health issues and having to travel out of town for treatment. Yuck.

Not sure what is for dinner here tonight. Might be more refried beans for this dental cripple.

Sorry you had all the dental hoopla but no good outcome. Does your dentist have to send out for your crown? Mine used to, but now they make them right in the office with a 3 D type printer.

Shopping in your own closet/bureau is always fun when you find something worthwhile.

What a pain with that crown! My last one was a tough fit so for a short while they thought it was off and I was worrying that I would end up with the same result as you. Luckily they were able to adjust it in the office but it did take quite a while.
