HMMMM... DOES CORNFLOUR GO 'OFF'?

I was looking in my pantry yesterday, trying to find some 'One Square Meal' thingees I'd bought a week or so ago. 

I hauled heaps out onto the floor... and found these:

ABOVE:  Whoops!  Seems I keep buying more when I really don't need to.  Oh well... we ain't gunna run out in a hurry are we?

So, after delving into cupboards head first to find the One Square Meals, and NOT finding them, I gave up.

I even thought Steve might have taken them to work for his lunch, but no.

So, I'm sitting at my computer desk, and Bex says "Did you put them in your desk?"

ABOVE:  Why!  Yes I did.  So now I have found them they are going in my bag, so when we are out and I feel faint with hunger (It does happen)... I can grab one of the small ones outta me bag.  EXCELLENT thinking.

They are rather nice too.  I find the big ones just too much to eat in one go, but the cute little bite size ones are perfect.

Yes, they are a bit on the high side re: carbohydrates, but I do believe they are still a very good alternative to a whole block of chocolate... correct?

3RD DAY being a good girl... feeling so confident I CAN do the damn weight loss thing again... I'm buzzing with ...... ???  CAN'T say JOY but it's close. 

I keep thinking of how good I will feel once I've lost even half what I NEED to lose.  Climbing stairs, bending down, getting up off the floor, not hating my own reflection.  It's going to be so good ... and I feel sure I will get there and THIS TIME freakin' well stay there.

God loves a trier, and my god I'm that if nothing else.  I will never give up trying.  Actually, SCRAP THAT.  I AM DOING IT. Full stop. End of Story.

ABOVE:  Bex painted her toe nails... so I wanted mine done too.. only not green like her's.  I got dark blue.  My feet look withered and dried up next to Bex's! Oh well, I will admire them cos they are the only part of me that's got bones showing right now!
I can't wait to see me collar bones again!
THAT is going to be a blog post all on it's own.  lol

Next tidbit for the day:


ABOVE: A little video of Steve and Dante.  Dante is starting to babble, it's so damn cute. *The weird noise towards the end is my 'cuckoo clock', only mine is a 'Hee haw clock' cos we can hear donkeys braying across the valley.

Someone asked me yesterday for photos of Liam and Emily, Amanda's two youngest children. 

Unfortunately, some things are out of our hands, and us seeing Amanda's children is in HER hands.  We did the right thing and went down to see her new baby boy.  Now it's up to them.

Until the rift in the family is healed, nothing will change.  That is in THEIR hands too. 

ONWARD...

We had a laugh last night... we decided to see how Rena would look in the cupboard under the strairs... for a LAUGH people, she didn't sleep there:

HARRY POTTER SLEPT UNDER THE STAIRS TOO

ABOVE:  she thought she was the bee's knees.

ABOVE:  "Look Grandma, NO HANDS!!!" .

ABOVE: no shortage of adorable babies here.

ABOVE:  Keera checkin out Uncle Steve last night.  At one point she tried biting his nose while pulling on his ears!

Everyone is taking it easy right now, saving energy for when the storage box gets here.  Then we will all be sorting it out... 

BLONDIE: That cupboard is empty because everything that was in it went into storage when we had the flood.. it was full of water.

Well the box is sorted out... and it didn't even take very long!  I was wanting to find my fabrics (done), and my big king size quilt that I have not finished... but we couldn't find it.  Dammit. Now I have NO IDEA where the hell it is.  It's the ONE project I really wanted to get finished this year.  *sigh*

ABOVE:  for a certain Auzzy Tart.  She's issued me with a challenge.  To look after MYSELF ... and it would appear now she has to come up with another challenge for next month.  ha ha!

ABOVE:  It was all hand to the pumps (so to speak) unpacking and repacking the box.  Well, except for me.

 ABOVE:  I got to walk up and down the street with Dante until he went to sleep, then I watched over him.  And took photos.  *smiles*

ABOVE:  Dinner tonight was proudly presented by Steve.  We had a very nice pork stir fry accompanied by baked mini wedges and sour cream.  It was delicious.  

End of Day:  another darn good day, another day on track and loving it.
nite nite.
