gift. My best friend took me to lunch today. She gave me a bottle of
fragrance. and a funny card. AND a box of WW cookies. My favorite
kind. The boys were here yesterday..well the oldest and the youngest,
and the youngest gave me some CD’s of favorite music and one of the
funniest cards I have had from him. It was based on The
Simpsons..little Ralph. (One of the talking ones). He took us out
for dinner too last night and I had a thoroughly enjoyable WW meal.
Had one today too. And all the other meals I have been lovingly
treated to. That is all I order, Weight Watcher menu things. I never
got a dessert much as I would love to have had one. My birthday "cake"
was as I blogged about…sugarless, fat free cooked pudding. Once. IF
I haven’t gained weight this coming Tuesday, I will celebrate by
another pudding extravaganza.
Oh I got a compliment today. I love compliments. I always say thank
you and I always sincerely appreciate them. I give them as often as I
get them. I do the work to try to put in a good appearance and if
it’s appreciated, why, so much the better.
I love my new digital phone service. I am waiting to see how badly
AT&T will spam me with telephone calls to re-start the service and
all the other things they do. Yes, I have the Do-Not-Call. But if they
have a business relationship with you they are allowed to harass you
to death with sales calls from people whose accent makes them totally incomprehensible. Their voices in their sales pitch
sounds like a cell phone ringing.. I no longer DO have a relationship
with them..so now if they start again, I will report them. Hopefully
it won’t happen. I went thru the dickens last year when I ceased my
long distance service because I had my cell phone for long distance.
Why pay for what you don’t use. I blogged a solid two or three weeks
about the constant every day morning noon and night barrage of spamming
calls I had from Bell South to reinstate the service. That made me all
the more determined not to. And..the accents and horrible mangling of
my name just made me all the more determined and torqued off. Don’t say a name if you can’t pronounce it for pete sakes.
I have the game on, but I can’t bear seeing my Vols get whupped again
so I am not in there watching. Too painful. This is absolutely not
our year.
Man, I’m fuller’n a tick. I had grilled chicken in garlic and herb
butter (which I tried to scrape off)(the butter part) and it came with
steamed veggies, i.e. maybe a half fist size bunch of steamed red
potatoes, and some almost still raw broccoli. It just occured to
me..they didn’t bring bread which I never eat at a meal even at the
best of times. So at least a component of the meal was not wasted this
time. They had a WW dessert..a very thin sliver of chocolate
raspberry cake. I say why get started with a taste of sweetness, It
will only make me want more. I am a sugar ad*i*t. Best for me to stay
totally away. Easier on me.
I have not done any exercise all week because of obligations. But you
and I both know, I should have done them anyway even if it was at an
atypical time. That’s OK. My poor foot needed the break. It still
hurts across the metatarsal joint after 2 years. Nothing on the
x-ray. Go figure.
OK. May as well go back and see what happened on the field. Sigh.
Have a great rest of the weekend..see you at your place. No..come on over here. I am too full to travel now.
Hihihi, ok I came but I would like to travel for real too … hihihi. Getting a compliment is always nice, I just don\’t know how to accept it sometimes and it\’s not offten that I get it. Are not all people so nice.
Have a great sunday,
hug,

I am knocking on your door now carrying my bag of white and black seedless grapes, all rinsed and ready to eat.
Your meal sounds scrumptious!!
I\’m sooo glad you had a great birthday! And it sounds like you have behaved too 🙂
Yeah, I hate spammers … phone calls, Email, junk mail in the snail mailbox … the whole 9 yards of it.
Well Happy Birthday!! And I like some the weight watcher meals. Some aren\’t worth the time to make them.
Keep at it. For me it will pay off….and for you too. I feel loads better all the way around.
And My team doesn\’t take the field until 6…OU has a chance to be #1!!
Have a great weekend!
Fingers crossed you won\’t get the sales calls… I know I wouldn\’t like them…. not to keen on compliments either as I\’m not sure how to react – so more power to you for knowing how to. x x
You get away from that tv and get on that treadmil right now little missy! lol Yeah att&t can tick you righ off. When I got married they called my house for something. My hubby answered and they asked for Danielle Place and when I got on the phone they called me by my maiden name. I was ticked and told theme if they didn\’t know my name then maybe I should take my buisness elswhere. Have a great day and get your work out in or your grounded!
Danielle
I\’ll give you a compliment, too…you are an inspiration the way you handle your dieting…keep up the good work…
It sounds to me that you\’ve been a very good weight watcher this week. It\’s hard to not go all out for ones birthday. You did good and hope you drop another pound or two on Tuesday.
The last time I looked…Tennessee was still in the game. Wish I could say the same about Wisconsin. They quit playing today and deserve to lose.
whew, congrats on sticking to the ww through the birthday-HUGE kudos to you!
Good job on sticking to your diet. It\’s hard when you\’re celebrating ya birthday! Sorry the Vols lost – I was really pulling for\’em since they were playing my nemesis! Have a wonderful evening.
Good job on staying with the WW food! Have a great weekend!
Warm hug, Frana

MMMM what kind of fragrance?….a heavenly fragrance is wafting from your blog 🙂
My what restraint you have….I would have been chowing down birthday cake like nobody\’s business.
Sounds like you and your boys had a wonderful visit….did you get to play Volopoly?
Have a wonderful Lords\’ Day tomorrow.
*Hugs and Blessing*

Oh Carole,
I feel terrible. I\’m so sorry I missed your birthday. I want to wish you a happy belated birthday now though. It does sound as though you were treated so very well by those who love and know you.
It is nice also to hear how well things are going for you with the WW. It sounds like you are right on track and have such a good positive attitude for everything. I\’ve never actually had one of their dinners, but I really should give it a try. Don\’t worry about the exercise… sounds like you did need to give the metatarsals a break…. there is always another day for exercising.
I\’ve been so very swamped with everything that I just had to let this go till I had some time to really visit. I\’m have 3 days off in a row from work, so I\’m trying to catch up on everything.
Oh yes… and it is always nice to get a compliment. I\’m the same way when it comes to giving them out to. If I hear anyone say some thing positive about someone else… I tell the someone else the compliment. I usually don\’t reveal who said it…. but I tell them…. just so they hear a good thing about them. So much ugliness in the world… so much better to hear some positive things. Anyway… take care…
Glad to hear the birthday celebrations were all fun and full of love. Boy, I know it was pure bliss to have the sons there. Did you eat the raw broccoli? I love it, that and fresh tomatoes with a touch salt and pepper. I just bite into them like an apple or peach. Ummmm.
Glad to hear you had a nice lunch and are having a nice birthday weekend. You deserve it. That rasberry cake sound delicious. now i\’m hungry lol
Hugs

I tried to translate the WW cookies and I came up with Willie Wonka!Obviously as I read on it was Weight Watcher. I like Willie Wonka better – hee hee.Have a great rest of the weekend. Now send that raspberry cake over and I\’ll takecare of it.
Hihihi … did you know Inky does not drink milk … what a strange cat … hihihi … but he loves water.
Hug,

All enjoyed your birthday celebration toward finished and you were really enjoy your day with all loved ones,
But I wondering Why your foot are still hurts…Have you have x-ray at Podiatrists?
maybe you were doing unusual exericise to cause the pain your foot? you better find out soon….
Have a good rest,
xxxoo
Hi Carole,
Sounds like you had a lot of wonderful birthday celebrations from the ones you love. And with all the meals eaten out you would enjoy not doing dishes…another benefit.
I hate those marketing phone calls too. Most of the time I can\’t understand what they are saying anyway their accents are too hard to make out. Most of the time I just have to interrupt them and hang up \’cause they won\’t shut up long enough in their pre-written spiel to get a word in anyway. Now you\’ve made me hungry…think I have to go get a bite of breakfast of cold cereal!
Hugs, Faye
For a WW meal it sure sounds good. So yor birthday week is over <sigh> Too bad, you were having such fun. Well there is next year. Compliments are nice, esp on the birthday week. I don\’t think we have seen you – have we? I\’ll have to go take a really good look. Even so, you are beautiful.
OK…Now that I caught up here with this entry I need to go make something to eat.
