Happy gto hear there was no new dental trauma. I totally commiserate with the anxious feelings. Feels good when it's done.
Liz, your cruise looks wonderful. Glad one of us could suntan today! I looked up Alaska cruises on the liner you are on. Pricey but they look very nice! I think we will forego plane travel (at least together****il the dogs are gone now that we don't have kids to house/dog sit. I really should inquire about a local person just in case we do need to both travel!
Weight 120.2 for 2 days in a row, despite the Swiss rolls and Nutty Bars!
Very cold this morning. I needed to cover up my herb garden with a towel last night. It worked! Sunny and low 60's by the afternoon.
I filled out passport paperwork today and took our pictures. I'll need to go to a center to get mine since I have never had one. DH can mail his in!
Sausage mushroom soup on a cold FL day. Tasted wonderful!

Glad you are finally feeling better! Me too!
Christmas decorations will come down when they are good and ready!
Little Debbie's have found their way into my diet much like your Twinkies! Sneaky little buggers!

If you are looking for rice substitutes, try farro. Looks a bit like barley when cooked. Higher fiber and protein with a bit of a nutty flavor and chewier texture. I really like it!
Nice that you are having sunny days. We had sun today but it was 32 degrees this morning when the dogs needed to go out! No water aerobics!

Glad you are feeling more settled about the PS outcome. I agree, if you don't have bruising by now, you should not get any.
Have a good Nut appointment. It will be good to get out of the house for a bit!

Your pedicure sounds fabulous! Reminds me that I need to schedule my dermaplaning facial soon. I feel like DH and I are due for a couples massage too!
Yay for Dad being able to use the phone and extra impressed he can FaceTime!
Your trip will be here before you know it!

Love the idea of giving to charity in lieu of paying state taxes!
Yes, 141 days is a long time if you feel you want to make some changes before the wedding.
Glad you are having warm weather. We are not!
Yay for Christmas decorations being down (even if cathartic screaming was involved) and yay also for feeling better!

Thankfully FORMER national sickness poster-child of the world is (fingers crossed) on the road to wellville, and took my first walkabout since the day or so after Christmas. Congratulations CC on success in evicting x-mas decorations for the season. Every single one of mine is still a glittering display of ho-ho holiday embarrassment. You are a rock star!
No weight since whenever...I too have been self medicating. Mistaking Twinkies for something healthy or, worse yet, as oversized capsules filled with fluffy white medicine....Self deception has always been a problem... No! No! I confess; I knew it all along....Tomorrow morning I'll face the music, record the number and move on 
Today, it's back to the good for you foods. For all still caught up in what ever this seemingly endless crud is, all sympathy and get well soon juju to you.
Devon, I have yet to figure out why, after my PS, I have one very dark hair just at the front of each ear that intermittently turns up. My best guess is that these are not facial but rather head hairs. Weird thing is that they are the color, texture and thickness of the hair I had in my younger years and that say, after I remove it, they don't regularly grow out. Most times it is weeks and weeks before one or the other will begin showing. Hypotheses- Surgical procedure (needle maybe) morphing two regular nonproductive facial follicles into head hair follicles. (Sorry about the hashed subject /verb/tense debacle in above paragraph)
If yours are indeed beard hair (makes sense to me ) instead of shaving (daily?) maybe look into a depilatory cream or even small waxing strips. Process takes the whole hair down below the skin and lasts for a very long time depending.
Be well, rested , hydrated and happy. DD self care today and however long as you wish. God speed grace and blessings your way. Enjoy all every sunny Florida and California sunshine that comes your way . Liz, that goes for extended long and lovely boat rides. Oh, and CC, not to worry about extra long cars...my SEKansas observation regarding oversized high end Tyrannosaurus trucks is
they take however many spaces they need/and or/want. Problem solved..
Live large !!!
Your Dad may do really well given what you said. When you get a call it may remind you of your Mom but that's not a bad thing. When a good friend's Mom died after years of illness with her husband taking care of her and worrying, he flourished for his last years afterwards. He even came to stay with his daughter all the way from Florida for a couple of summers. He really enjoyed his last years as did his daughters.

141 days is a long time! Congrats on getting all the Christmas stuff away - the bag must have deserved being screamed at ;)
Always something to do when you are a homeowner!
