So...whats for dinner?

apple

Lizzy is gorgeous.. what a beautiful smile.

Tazzy

Lacey12 - I can totally relate to the ‘wow I have much more stuff than I thought' - whenever I move I think that.  Hope you found it a ‘cleansing' experience.   Good luck with the PCP.   Could you possibly be anemic... my
fatigue is caused by that.   Dinner sounds really good.

Eric... that is hot - like Debbie dunno if I could stand that kind of heat now.

Debbie - lived in BC since 2000.  

Moonflwr... that is a real friend.   Funny how we find out our ‘true' friends during these times eh?

Michelle - good luck at the Docs this morning - keep us posted and great that you still feel good.

Carberry.. enjoy your evening with the family.  I'm missing mine so much at the moment - Dad was in hospital yesterday for a hip replacement.  I have an amazing sister who is there with him.   But what I wouldn't do to give him a big hug (my family are still in the UK).

And I wish you would all send some of that heat up to the big white north... please !!  Mind you it is going to be about 80 today - so finally we may be getting some kind of nice weather for longer than 1 day.

Michelle.. just read you said the same about Lacey and anemia...... great minds think alike

It is only 7.30am here - as treatment is Friday I will do some light housework today and then some gardening.

Hope you all have wonderful day and for anyone on treatment with minimal SE's.

Michelle- Sending positive thoughts for your appointment to day.

Carrie-Have fun with the whole fam damily this evening. :-)))

Tazzy- Hope your dad heals fast, that has to be hard not being able to be there im sure he understands.

right now its only 58% suppose to reach 65 i would be happier with around 75ish though. 

cheerios with cinamon with fresh fruit of rapberries, side of  pineapple and canteope. The cantelope is so sweet.

chabba

debbie, 58 here too, predicted 65.  Still jacket weather for me.

debbie6122

Chabba- How have you been? Dont see you posted often much any more. You must be busy like always.

chabba

I do keep up with reading every day but do seem to keep real busy.  I'm not very good at just posting the good lucks and that type of thing. I usuley don't post unless I have something different or useful to say.

Been working in my pj's today but just got dressed.  Have to go to the Senior Center today and figure out what I'll cook tomorrow and if I need to pick up something at the store in the morning.

My doctor appt this morning was no big deal - everything seems just fine.  My blood levels are good and I'm not having any side effects.  So, apparently, there is an enzyme that can affect how you tolerate Xeloda.  I think anyone missing this particular enzyme has more side effects than those who have it naturally.  This was discovered back when Xeloda was an IV drug and they couldn't figure out why some people got so sick from it, while others sailed through treatment without a problem.  Maybe I'll be lucky!

The grandkids were here, the lake is abuzz with jet skis and granddaughter is spending the night.  She's pretty tired from playing in the water so we're inside and she's got her favorite soft blanket (off my guest bed).  We're taking her to Chuck E.Cheese, unless she is so wiped out she falls asleep and won't wake up, which is not out of the realm of possibilities.  I also promised to do her nails.

debbie6122

Chabba- Its nice to stay in pj's once in awhile. And everything you say is useful. :-)))

Michelle-Good to hear your blood counts are good. And great that you are having no SE. Interresting onn the enzime. I wonder if thats the same with the neulasta shot. I had such extreme pain that took me to the hospistal but others sailed through it. I hope you continue to have good counts and no SE. Enjoy your visit with your GD. I miss mine, they both live in Georgia.

Just finished the other half of my prime rib sandwich and now eating some Lindt dark chocolate candies. These are so good. Wish DH wouldn't of brought them home though.

Laurie08

Bedo- your daughter is beautiful and so are you!  Love the pic of you with the kittie:)

Tazzy- Hope you had a great day doing some gardening, I don't think anyone enjoys housework?

Carrie- Have fun at your dinner tonight!

Michelle- So glad you had fun today!  You mad me remember my memere, she always painted my nails for me:)  I will be surprised of you make it to Chuck e Cheese!  So glad your counts are good and you are feeling well.

Debbie- I want to come hang out with you, you always eat things that make me go yum!  During the day I eat just to get something in me, never things I want.  Too busy feeding everyone else.  Your breakfast and lunch sounded great!

So it is hot here today/tonight,  Not hot like where Eric is...don't know how you handle it Eric!  But we are having chicken Caesar salads for dinner.  We put our air conditioners is last night and they have been running all day.  We went out to enjoy the pool this afternoon and within an hour both boys said it was too hot and they wanted to go in.    For some reason this year they are nervous around the pool and don't want to swim alot.  Last year we couldn't get them out?  So....I got them dry and put a cartoon on and took a half hour to myself, went for a dip and dried in the sun.  It was a 1/2 hour slice of heaven.

LuvRVing

We are at Chuck E's and DH is taking DGD around all the games. She will certainly pass out on the way home. The A/C is not working in here ... it must be 90 in here!

Tazzy

Gardening is wonderful therapy... but oh so tiring... just come in for a breather... least it is sunny - nowhere near as hot as you guys get it.  But its not raining which is wonderful.

I agree Laurie... Debbies food always sounds so yummy... I tend to eat cos I have too - when I am on my own.

Michelle - happy the docs appt went well... and here's to you feeling well for good.

Chabba... you are not like me then - I post with any tidbit I may want to share - whether anyone wants to listen is another matter  

Debbie - Dad is doing great... eating well, not much pain just a dull ache.  Will be home either Friday or Saturday.

I am being lazy today with dinner.  last nights leftover quesadillas and 2 stuffed peppers I had in the freezer.

Kaara

Nice photos!  Thanks for posting Michelle so everyone can see.  I'm going to have to see what I can do about posting some photos of my garden and flowers..I have them saved in my documents, so it's just a matter of figuring out what I have to do to get them on here.  I can post them to facebook easily.

My goodness...the hot weather sounds awful for some of you.  We are still have temps in the 70's and 80's here in the mountains of NC.  it has been unusually cool this year for some reason.  I'll count my blessings and enjoy it while it lasts.

Tonight we had grilled pork tenderloin, field peas and snaps, white corn, and sliced heirloom tomatoes with motzerella cheese and fresh basil, drizzled with garlic dressing.  A nice summer meal.

Have a great evening everyone. 

bedo

It is too hot to think.  It's 100 degrees here still.  I don't have airconditioning.  I'm sitting in my underwear with a fan on and the windows open.  If the neighbors look, too bad for them, they can look the other way.  I have to be cooler.  I will read later, talk about hot flashes with hormone therapy.  I hope everyone is well and from what little Iv'e read, you all seem to be.  This is your brain  (image a brain)  This is your brain when it is 100 degrees.  ( Imagine a Dali painting with it dripping off the furniture.)

Lacey12

Yes, Bedo, it is beastly....am sitting in front of a fan. I was very lucky today that my office didn't start to absorb the heat until 5:30 when I left. Tomorrow will not be pretty and I have so much more to do. I may as well swelter tomorrow and try to get it done since the building will hold in the heat for the rest of the summer. At least all the shredding is finally done! On the way home stopped at Whole Foods and a guy was doing Vita Mix demos. I had three samples of different things....all cold! yum! If I were looking for a big purchase I could be very tempted!

Had some fresh tomatoes with basil, fresh mozzarella and balsamic drizzled, then ate some eggplant/pepper salad we got at the Middle Eastern fare this weekend. Very nice!

There is a lovely piece of baklava calling out to me from the kitchen counter. Gee is it too hot for Baklava??

Laurie08

Bedo!!!  I feel your hot sweaty pain from here!!  I can not stand being hot!  Get a fece cloth wet it and put it on your head- add to the neighbors discussion

Kaara- your on facebook?  I am on there as well PM me you last name etc and I'll add you

That goes for anyone else on here!

Lacey12

Oh, by the way, my blood work has been fine, so anemia is not a concern. Only problem with the blood work was low Vit D, for which I doubled my D vitamins.



Glad your levels are good, Michelle. Envy your spot on water today. We had a call from one of our NH neighbors that our boat was sinking by the dock. DH had asked the marina guy to check it out in the fall because he was concerned about a slow leak somewhere, and guy said all was fine.....well, I guess not! So it is now pulled out of the water. What a pain....which boats can certainly be. We'll get there this weekend to check all of it out.



Hope Friday goes well for you, Tazzy.

debbie6122

Bedo- LOL on the underwear.Sorry about the hot flashes though. Thankfully im done with those. I started going through my menopausse in my 30's its was tough but glad i got through it.Oh and you may want a FACE cloth instead of a fece cloth LOL@Laurie!

Michelle- Oh how miserable without air conditioner especially with tons of kids running around. 

Kaara- Same here im on FB with some of the ladies here. Under Debbie louise mcpherson there are so many debbie mcpherson so had to add my middle name which sucks lol! 

Tazzy-Glad your dad will be home this week, and feeling better.

lacey- Your dinner sounds healthy and yummy.

Dh is golfing so probably will just have popcorn for dinner.

LuvRVing

Me too, Kaara!  I'm on Facebook as Michelle C Hall  Salem, NH

We have A/C and it's running full-blast.  People are still in the lake and if I weren't so tired, I go jump in.  Chuck E's just about did me in, it was ghastly in there.  DGD stayed awake all the way home, which made it easier to get her ready for bed, teeth brushed, etc.  With any luck, she'll sleep in a little bit - no brothers to wake her up early!

Lacey - your dinner sounds perfect for this hot evening and no, it's never too hot for baklava!

bedo

Haha!  No feces cloth here, though I'm about to try everything.  Thanks for all your coolness and ideas.  The cats are laid out flat as pancakes.  I think the kitchen floor looks good.  Night everyone and I hope you all have cool dreams.

Moonflwr912

Bedo, I had to laugh as I am sitting in front of my fan in my undies too. No air conditioning sucks. This weekend they better put the big window ac in for me. But I am enjoying my Tazo Tea, Passion, iced. It is so pretty, and tastes so citrusy. Much love to all.

Laurie08

OMG!  I should really learn to proof read- or not- feces cloth!!!

Moonflower-Love the positive spin on the heat:0)  Enjoy your tea!

For myself I have a nice ice cold glass of Chardonnay going and am hoping DH goes to bed soon so I can turn the tv off and start reading.

debbie6122

michelle- Glad your back in your cool house. 

Laurie- You make me laugh. Hope DH falls asleep fast so you can enjoy that wine and book.

Bedo- Good night, sleep tight!

Moonflwr- Hiope you get your air put in soon. got to be hot w/o it. Tea sounds good and refreshing. 

We dont have air conditioning here either but they say you don't need it because it doesn't get hot enough, not true, it gets hot in this house. so when DH went to chicago to the food show he bought one that you don't have to put in the window just put water in it. it blows cold and will be nice when it starts getting hot in the house. Only cost $200 not bad vs a real air conditioner.

Kaara

Michelle:  I'm a Hall as well (Kay Hall)...small world...but that's a common name.  I found you on facebook, but Debbie I couldn't pull up your name.

MinusTwo

Hi to all.  I'm like Chabba and usually don't respond to everyone - but this is one thread I do read every day.

Debbie:  I must have mis-posted.  The 1015 is a Texas sweet onion.  It's something like Videlia onion from Georgia.  And don't you have one in the NW too? Can't remember the name.

Corn on the cob for dinner.  Dessert was strawberries dipped in sour cream and rolled in brown suger.

debbie6122

Kaara- Yes if you cant find Michelle or Laurie or some of the others just find me and you can look at my friends list and add them from there.

Minustwo- oh ok we have the videla onions here too so sweet just never heard them called  1015 unless its on a tag that i did not notice.

chabba

debbie. do you get the WallaWalla Sweets in your area?  A few people claim they're sweet enough to eat like an apple.   I love to carmalize them for French onion soup.  Mild so you can use a lot of them and carmalize easier than any others I tried, even Vidalias.  Also wonderful grilled on burgers.

debbie6122

Chabba- Yes we do and i wanted to mention them in my last post but could not think of the name.So thinks for that, it was driving me crazy. lol! I have been getting them the last couple of months but have not seen them in the last week or so, so wondering if they are out of season or pretty close to it? I love to carmalize them like you said, and with red bell peppers for a cheese steak sandwich or french dip. Yumm.

Going to bed now so you wont have to hear from me for at least another 8 or 9 hours lol! Sorry ladies if i post to much i get bored and don't have a life like ya all. LOL!

LuvRVing

Kaara - got your friend request and accepted.  Debbie and Laurie are in my friend list, too.

My granddaughter is still sleeping, I guess we wore her out yesterday!  She didn't get to sleep until 9, and it's quiet here so she may sleep in.  I think her brothers wake her up most mornings, they are noisy little critters in the morning!

apple

Kaara - your photo work is 1/2 done.  if you've easily posted to facebook..

you just make the photos full size on face book, copy them (rightclick/copy) and then come here and paste them into the reply box.

super easy.

Kaara

Apple:  Thanks!  I'll give it a try.  

Another beautiful day here...but no rain, so my plants will beg for water.  If I don't get them well established before we leave for Wisconsin on July 3, they will surely die.  I usually fill a big tub with water and put the potted plants in that for the duration of a trip...it usually works.

I think we're playing golf late this afternoon, so we'll grab a bite in town after that.  Yea...no cooking!
