  1. Hi all! Hope everyone's well today and that MC's head feels better and her temp's down.

    I had a long day again. Last night I worked til nine, went home and took care of the boys and then at 9:45 went to meet a friend I'm dog-sitting for Thursday-Friday. She ended up chatting and I didn't get out of there til 11:15pm. Then went to the dog-sitting house and walked the dog, finished a load of laundry and straightened up because the owners were coming back today. Finally got to bed around 12:30.
    Today I got up early, walked the dog, went home and took care of the cats and then off to the tennis club 25 minutes away to supervise a match. It was 95 degrees and 100% humidity - yuck! Went home and showered and changed and the to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate a friend's birthday. Home to upload match photos to the league coordinators and then off to work.
    Tomorrow I'm covering two matches, meeting the league coordinator for a late lunch, dog-sitting for a new dog and going to work. Yikes! I'm looking forward to the end of this week!!!

  2. Well, MC it was suppose to have been this year but unfortunately had to use the funds I had put aside so my trip to Germany is on hold until things get better financially (pay down some debts). I will keep your offer in mind if it ever happens (maybe sometime in 2011).

  5. French was my favorite language to study in school. One of these days, I want to brush up on it.

  6. I love the Black Forest! Yes, keep me in mind. My best friend and I were going for our 20th Anniversary of being exchange students (2007) but it just wasn't financially feasible as she just got divorced. I told her we just need to go but since then she has gotten remarried and her dear husband is blind and had a kidney transplant. Needless to say financially it just isn't going to work for her. I might have my surgery bill paid off by 2011~lol! I love the Black Forest cuckoo clocks! Beautiful!

  7. MC, when I went to Germany my first time when I was 10 with my Dad and my sister (mom had died earlier that year) and we brought home a cuckoo clock as well as a dirndl dress for my sister and myself and lederhosen for my Dad. He bought this all with money that was received for reparations from the German government for their losing their farm in Czechoslovakia when the Germans were kicked out. My mother's family was anti-Nazi but they still got ordered out of Czechoslovakia. My grandfather buried in the ground on their farm a motorcycle with a side car so the Nazi's wouldn't get it.

    GD, wow, what a busy day! Losing those 32 lbs must give you extra energy now. Hope you can get some rest this weekend.

  8. SMM, it was the "fuel" from the Cheesecake Factory! LOL Do you still have your dirndel?

  9. It sure does, Karin, even in this heat!I'm going to take it a bit easy this weekend once I get off work Saturday. I need to get a hold of the landlord and get the key to the community pool so I can go hang out there.
    It's also time to hang out with the boys. They seem to have missed me the last few days.

  10. The Cheesecake Factory was afterwards. And I feel yucky because I ate too much :(
    Too many lunches this week. Lunch with my teammates yesterday, friends today and league coordinator tomorrw. Yikes!

  11. What did you eat at the CC Factory?

    Posted 2 years ago by mollycat71 #

  12. Well, first there was the bread! Then I went healthy and had herb encrusted salmon with asparagus and mashed potatoes - VERY yummy! (Kept eyeing one friend's pizza, though!) Afterwards she insisted on the three of us sharing a piece of some kind of chocolate cheesecake. At least we shared, so it was just a few bites!
    I have discovered how most restaurants' menu information is online these, so knowing I was going there, I went to their menu to find something that wasn't loaded with calories, fat and salt. It's a pretty neat way to chose something healthy and skip all those calories.

  13. Sounds like a nice lunch, GD. I love salmon and what you had sounded delicious. Good for you to prepare ahead of time so you knew what you were going to eat and what the salt content, etc was going to be. I do that sometimes too.

  14. That is a great idea, I do that all the time so that I can watch my intake of calories, fat, sodium, etc. Your salmon sounds wonderful! Glad you had at least a little bite of CC. When you share it is so much better, those pieces are HUGE!

  15. I started looking online because so often you think you're eathing something healthy by having a salad or something, but those things can be totally loaded with calories, fat and salt. The cheesecake was very rich - I preferred the salmon!

  16. YUM! making me want some salmon, I just love salmon! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

    Posted 2 years ago by mollycat71 #

  17. I do too! I tried looking online for a picture, but I can't find any. I should have taken one! :)

  18. Easiest salmon recipe I ever heard..... place salmon on aluminum foil on a cookie sheet, pour Italian dressing over the fish, bake at 350 until done. YUM!
