When you’re not here it’s noticeable but that sounds like a nice trip! Sounds too good to pass up!This all sounds like the perfect getaway to me! I’m so glad you had a nice time. I think everyone needs to get away once in awhile. It helps to recharge the batteries and gets us away from the same old boring routine every day. I for one have never gone for a hammock. I never could figure out how to stay on it without falling off. I feel so awkward laying on one and I just know it will be a matter of time til I fall off and land on the ground. I do think they look nice though. They seem to complete a backyard and give it a good look. I can definitely see you putting one in your garden. LOL!!Low calorie is good for me these days. Well, unless it’s the weekend and then I don’t care. All bets are off when I wake up Saturday morning as far as my diet goes. LOL!! No, I really don’t do that anymore. Some of my eating accomplishments over the years have actually become legendary, which is why the loss of 60 pounds has surprised a lot of people. I went to a family dinner on Mother’s Day this passed Sunday and we had some really good Italian food that was catered. I ate a lot by my standards now but I just don’t eat as much as I used to and that confuses some people. I guess reputations are hard to shake sometimes. This does fascinate me, I gotta say. There’s something really cool about hiding food from others so they can’t find it and there’s more for us. I’m really starting to look up to you Lashes. I see. Wow, you’re really good at this Lashes! I like how you have this all plotted out. Now, is this something you’ve always done, or is hiding the junk food something you’ve only started doing in recent years? I get the impression you’re doing this a long time considering how much thought you seem to put into it. I can relate. My biggest fear is someone in my family finds Telly Talk and starts reading. They will put two and two together very quickly and figure out that 4=DFF. Yes! I probably never would’ve joined. It just wasn’t something I would ever do. I lurked and I lurked and I’d read posts every night for years.snd I never thought I’d be posting with all these nice people someday. It was quite odd at first but I’m glad I’m here now. I can understand what you’re saying cause I’m basically the same. To each his or her own but I’m not big on most social media either. I do get curious sometimes and wonder if I’m missing out on something though. Even the company I work for has its own Facebook page and I don’t ever go on there cause from what I hear a lot of people go on there to complain about work related stuff and that’s not something I want to be a part of. Well, you’re having a nice long reign and deservedly so. I forgot just how many days you’ve had the crown now so I need to take a peek. You have to understand though that it’s hard for me to read from the bottom of that cliff I’m still laying at. It definitely made me look at you in a whole new light!! You had me fooled Lashes. I really didn’t think attempted murder was your thing but it made me appreciate your competitive spirit. A new car every year does sound nice to me, I have to admit, but I just get too attached. But my work vehicle, now that’s a different story. I couldn’t wait for that truck to get here last year. I remember when it pulled in the station that first day and I kept saying to myself, “please give it to me, please give it to me, please give it to me,” and there were only two of them at that point so I’m thinking what are the odds? And my boss was asking others if they wanted one of them and for some reason I’ll never understand they were all saying no. But not me. Yes, I figured it was something like that cause I had the same problem. The beeping drove me crazy at first. I’d be sitting there at a light and every time someone pulled up next to me I’d think it was New Year’s Eve. Backing up was tough for me too. It felt so weird and I was so afraid I’d hit something. I avoid backing for the most part cause it still makes me nervous. I’m kind of used to it now to be honest. But the fear is always there that this could be the big one coming this season. We seem to get lucky here every year where I live but we do have those close calls. It officially starts in about a month. Really the only thing I hate about living here but that’s the price we pay for the great weather. I’m so glad you didn’t get the withdrawals cause I had them pretty bad at first. I’d get these bad headaches but eventually I guess my body adjusted. One coffee a day is never going to hurt you. That’s perfectly normal. As much caffeine as I once consumed, I just never went for coffee. I know that sounds hard to believe. I haven’t had herbal teas in awhile. I remember liking them but not as much as I did sweet tea. That was another addiction of mine at one time, even worse than soda maybe. Always good catching up with you as well Lashes! All is well here at the moment.Have a good rest of the week my friend!!</blockquote>
