    STS first time!

    Carolyn, how great you got to experience both the graduation and the baseball celebrations. High five to Luke. Dh must be thrilled about the Bruins. We stayed at my sil's till 12:15 because of that.:confused: On BB LB, you can modify by not doing it on your toes; it's not like we're...

    Jean, I agree about wanting to own the movie! It is such a gem! I will update my notes on the recipe and post it on here. Carolyn, the movie is French, about a paraplegic who gets an unconventional home aide. It is laced with humor, good acting, glimpses of France (I love Western Europe), a...

    Marie, Breckin is such a happy, loved baby! He is so precious. You should be so proud! I just melt at long lashes. (And stare longingly at them too). Carolyn, what's the verdict? Playoff game or graduation?? Good luck deciding if ds's team won. that's a toughie. Maybe they're at diff...

    STS first time!

    Hi everyone. The rain has stopped and the sun has peeked out once or twice. Yay. I did it! My first UY, CrossTrain! I loved it. I'm not sure exactly what aspect of it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The time passed quickly (serial clock watcher here!). And it wasn't difficult (not sure...

    Goodness, so much rain and so dark--could have slept on! Colleen, ds will go to a week's tennis camp too in Aug. I think he dreads it. How's the rain? Carolyn, hope you slept. Brandeis is nearby, for sure. A couple of ppl I know went there. That's quite an adventure for your niece in...

    Carolyn, those were exciting finds today! What are activewear dresses? Like tennis dresses? You would rock a short dress; you work your legs so much they're awesome-looking, I'm sure. That sounds like a beautiful gift for your niece. I personally really like musical notes! And the viola! I...

    STS first time!

    Hello! Did some food shopping. The showers return, and soon it will be downpours. The house work goes on today. There will be a break tomorrow, and will resume Monday, I think. Colleen, odd that your neck pain still goes on. Can you stretch it somehow?

    STS first time!

    Funny, I feel the same way as your dh! My dh walks really fast! Like I've said, i don't want to sweat. We avg 2.5 to 2.75 mph. I slow him down, of course, but I want to enjoy my walk, not dread it. Your kids sound so cute! I wish my kids had that but they are too far apart in yrs. Ds1...

    Colleen, you're so creative with your meals, especially adding tons of veggies! DH loves balsamic, where I'm not that keen on it. We had it tonight on our salad greens from our garden. Last night, we had haddock meuniere with upland cress from the garden. (When I buy the cress from WF, it...

    Jean, I heard the midatlantic might get bad storms, so stay safe! How's your mom doing? Maybe you can watch movies or read while you're there. Definitely get on the forums.;) I ate so much white rice with my cajun boil tonight. You need it to sop up the delicious sauce. I use mussels and...

    STS first time!

    Carolyn, that's so funny! DH used to say STS sounds like porno!:D If I remember UB correctly, the music is very techno? BB is hard to follow new because Leah barely pauses between sets, and the cuing is off a bit. I'm constantly looking at her as well. It's frustrating. I want to say that...

    Mary, we have the chorus concert a week from today, and our graduation is called 'Celebration of Learning'!. Just call it graduation!:eek: Don't sweat the Bertucci's. You are so dedicated and fit. I would have dozed off too. Pasta expands. And it was probably so yummy! Good luck on rowing...

    OMG, Colleen, the PB sounds amazing!!!! Where do you get the fresh peanuts? I'll have to remember this if I ever get a Vitamix. Ever since I read The China Study, I'm leery of eating dairy, chicken, peanuts:eek: Is everyone familiar with ewg.org? (armchair activism) They recently reported...

    Colleen, is there any nutritional value to rice cakes?:D Too bad on the almond butter. love the crunchy version but TJ's has trouble keeping it in stock! I am almost out. I am so bad on getting veggies in before dinner. It rarely happens!:eek:

    Missy, I totally missed the salad part!:o That is so funny--Do Nots! So true! That sandwich would be supreme if it uses a whole wheat english muffin. Just that substitution would nail it. Your rotation sounds :eek:! Lots of killer zuzka!

    Hi friends, We actually have peeks of brief sun (originally a wet, gloomy week), interspersed with gusty winds. It's dry, cool, and comfy right now, but we're expecting some massive rain Thurs aft into night. I managed AOLIH (indoors was so humid from all that rain:mad:) with BS Ch (ugh, it...

    Colleen, that is an amazing menu. You are so good! So disciplined. That and BB have you rocking! I've considered skipping pasta, rice, or bread at dinner--imagine how lean I'd be. Can't believe your kids are almost all done with school. Good luck! What are you doing with dd now that she's...
