Hi Shaun...bye Shaun! You smell great today by the way.

I picked up the new Family Circle yesterday and I'm doing their "Walk Off 10 Pounds" program. Took Lucy the dog for a walk - plan on another walk this evening - and did some gardening. Making oatmeal and a pot of coffee for breakfast when we really want a stack of pancakes and slices of crispy bacon - Ha!

Will wear CSP Musc Alize today. I keep forgeting about this one. It's a soft floral-musc - kind of a nostalgia scent for me. My husband likes this one.

Have a good day all!

Kahlil Gibran's advice is something I try to follow. Last week, a prayer was answered and I've tried to acknowledge publicly how blessed I am. When things go well, it's easy to take things for granted, but that should never be the case. Thanks, Don, for these words of wisdom.

Hi all, Yeah, I know I don't come by often, but I read more than I post. Apparently BJ has been away for awhile? I saw the post by Susan asking if anyone was food combining, and it looks like no one replied. What is everyone here doing now? I think I eat closer to level 2, staying away from sugar and white flour, etc, and most carbs, even whole grain. I actually do better when I stay away from even the healthy carbs. I try to do lots of veggies, and still do my chocolate low-carb protein shakes. I haven't lost any more, though. It's frustrating, for as faithful as I am to eating "right". I remember how excited and happy I was when I lost 34 lbs. after only 3 months of following SS. My body adjusted, though, unfortunately. I've been watching Americon Idol, too. They are all so good now, it's hard to see any of them leave. I've been watching Heroes, too, and Office Space, and renting DVD's from Netflix. Just finished watching Pursuit Of Happiness, and currently on The Secret. I'm totally into computer virtual worlds now, and playing Myst Online, Morrowind, and Return To Mysterious Island. I've finished 10 oil paintings since I got here to Hawaii. I know some of you still remember when I moved. I'm not at all sorry I moved here, as it's a good place, but I get lonely, too. Not lonely enough to go through the winters anymore though. I think they will come and visit me again either this summer or next. My granddaughters are awesome girls, and I couldn't be happier with them or prouder of them. I'll keep checking in with you. You are all important to me though I haven't been much involved lately. I wish we didn't have to lose track of people. Take care and eat healthy! Amy

Congratulations Lunchlady - that is TERRIFIC! YEA for you! Congratulations on your right sized pants! I think you do need at least one new top so you have a whole new outfit. You can do it - those of us who are still working on getting to goal are counting on you to be our role model! How's that for no pressure? :) I'm cleaning out my extra room (which is really a huge storage closet) today so that I'm keeping busy and away from the kitchen this weekend. I think it's downright sinful how much "stuff" we all collect that we don't really need. Unfortunately I moved a big box and found an area of mold underneath (that darling cat is no longer with us). So now I can add ripping the carpet out to my list of things to do. But I'll wait for my son to come home from his dad's so he can tackle that. He likes to do things that require brute strength, fortunately. I'm happy to report I finally got in some exercise last evening with a friend and this morning solo (walking). I so enjoyed it and hope I will have the good sense to make it a habit. Have a good weekend everyone, and congratulations again, Goalie!

Recipe of the day March 29 - Sherry Sour Cream Chicken
Q
Comments (0)
Sherry Sour Cream Chicken Allrecipes.com "An easy and delicious way to prepare chicken breasts. Works best with skinless AND boneless breasts, but breasts with the bone in will also work. Adjust the seasoning to taste." INGREDIENTS Â 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts Â 1 cup sour cream Â 1/4 cup sherry (I would use HarveyÂs Bristol Cream) Â 4 tablespoons butter Â 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary Â 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme Â salt and pepper to taste Â (I would also be adding onions and mushrooms to this dish, for more depth of flavour) DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. In a large skillet, saute chicken in butter/margarine until browned. Remove chicken and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish. (This is where I would then sautÃ© up the onions and mushrooms.) 3. Add sour cream and sherry to butter/margarine in skillet. Stir together until smooth. Season chicken with rosemary, thyme salt and pepper to taste. Then pour the sherry/cream mixture over the chicken. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

Piment EpicÃ© by Artisan Parfumeur; spicier than I usually wear but it has an undertone of cedar that I liked when I tried a sniff at the counter.

I just finished my bottle of Les Nuits d'Hadryen yesterday. I'll get another at one point. Those are my splurges once in a while.

Spring Fever is still my regular scent. People complain when I don't wear it.

I found out yesterday that they will discontinue my favorite scent, Spring Fever,
in october. I bought 4 bottles in a panic, lol.... I wonder what the shelf life of a cologne is. I would not want to buy a dozen bottles and have them go stale over time......

If you keep the perfume in it's original box in a cool dark place, it should last a long long time.

I emailed Origins and this is the response I got;

Thank you for taking the time to contact us and for your interest in
Origins.

In response to your question, the shelf-life of our products is at least
three years from the date of manufacture, provided they are not exposed to
extremes of temperature. The only exceptions are mascara and self-tanners,
which should be replaced six months after opening, and nail lacquers, which
have a two-year shelf-life.

All of our products undergo rigorous stability testing, to ensure their
efficacy and quality during these periods. Because only products of recent
production are offered at our counters, we do not include expiration dates
on our products.

Once again, thank you for contacting us and for the opportunity to address
your concern. "

so I'll take a chance and stock up throughout the summer.

Casual by Paul Sebastian for me,too! My daughter wore it years ago, and I started wearing it...always get compliments on it. I have trouble finding it now, though. Tried several of the local department stores and they no longer carry it...ended up buying it online.
