Hola, peeps! I'm here, ready to scream "Ow, mah laig!". How's everyone's week going? Eating habit? Today houseguest and I went to the local Honda dealership and she bought a car! 2022 Honda Civic. We were there for hours. So once we were finally done we picked up my son and we went to a favorite spot and tucked into a huge meal. I had fried clams, followed by a chocolate torte and a black coffee and a shot of Sambuca. 

Sounds delicious. We loved our Civic when we had it but found the newer models too expensive ( at least up here). Fried clams are yum!

[Chicklet]

Evening peoples. I had yogurt and cereal tonight, just not into cooking right now. 

Can't fit through the bathroom door, this is positive and that;s the only thing I remember lol.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh dear sweet tap dancing  baby Jesus, she can't fit through the door. I am dead.

[ams1001]

I might make a chocolate milkshake with chocolate Baileys...gotta use it up before it goes bad....

[sainte-chapelle]

Allen…ordering the whole menu isn’t giving in a little

Everyone I know who has ever had a Civic loves it. My son's first car was a Civic and he still talks about it. 

As a native New Englander, fried clams are my lifeblood. I love them, but rarely eat them because fattening. But after several hours at the Honda dealership I felt that I deserved a treat. I don't even DRIVE. This was alien turf for me. 

[Chicklet]

"I miss my carbs" lol I feel ya sister.

It is to him. These folks don't understand moderation. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Yea her heart stopped….that is no good

[ams1001]

Write mom a letter!

I don't care, I love Lola. She brings the fashion and Lord knows we need that. 

BACK DOWN TO  408. Good Lord. 

[ams1001]

Why is it shows seem to have a commercial every five minutes but when you need a commercial break to go do something it takes forever for them to get to one?

[OoogleEyes]

Ugh gross *averting my eyes*

[sainte-chapelle]

Vianey can’t catch a break

[Pepper Mostly]

"Make sure you wash it every day". Oh Dr. Now. The woman can't even sit up!

[ams1001]

"You ready to go home?"

"Yeah."

She's not even dressed...

[sainte-chapelle]

Yea he looks bigger than he did when we was last weighed

[Pepper Mostly]

Allen still looks very, very large.

She doesn't need to be dressed to down the entire contents of the bread box

[sainte-chapelle]

lol at her telling him to take stuff out of his pockets….that won’t help

[Chicklet]

They both have such a flat affect. They need more than Lola.

[sainte-chapelle]

Man they are big a little bit…maybe they should buy groceries at Azan’s store then they would really lose weight 

A documentary about what happened on the set of Rust either just came out or is coming out on Disney plus. I’m sure it’s in better taste but not sure it’s something I want to watch.

[Hellga]

Hi All! Just joining now, was busy with work.  I actually remember this ridiculous looking couple - or, rather, I remember having watched their episode, not anything about them.  Hope this one is not a snoozefest like the episodes have been lately.

Eating habit tonight will be baked tilapia.  And probably a baked potato.  Lunch was Trader Joe's Japanese fried rice with shrimp I just added for extra protein.  This is the second week of the Lent and I am kind of semi-permanently semi-hungry and almost can empathize with the poundticipants.  Moreso because I am also in need of losing some 20 pounds.  

I also tried Trader Joe's kung pao brussels sprouts this week and I did not like them, despite generally liking kung pao chicken and kung pao shrimp and loving brussels sprouts (which I don't overcook, unlike them).

Dr. Now said "back on track' and I swear I thought I heard him say "back on crack".

[Chicklet]

They might have more energy on crack lol. Also lose weight as our crack addicts were usually thin.

[Pepper Mostly]

Dear God these two are so doleful and spiritless, I am dying of boredom. Anyone have anecdotes? @sainte-chapelle, any improvement in the vertigo?

[ams1001]

More of these people should probably do water workouts.

[Hellga]

How did they get the pool so empty?  Did they film during the hours they are normally closed?

A bit better thanks. The temperature dropped like a rock so I’ve been on the couch with a tension headache all day….boooo.  How is your mom?

The weather here has been sunny and 60's. I was able to sit outside in the sun and read. It felt so nice.

I'm on vacation for the rest of the week. Today I slept (on and off) until almost noon. Guess I was recovering from the clock change. 

Amanda Seyfried was on Jimmy Fallon (which I don't watch) last week and then she was on Seth Meyers (which I do watch) and youtube suggested this lovely clip from her appearance on Fallon.

I agree.  Most of them have painful joints due to all the extra weight, water should make exercise easier.  

Speaking of pool, I started taking swimming lessons in December to help overcome some of my handicaps.  It helped, I can swim on my back now, after being scared of turning over for 40 years. :)  I am still a poor swimmer but I am better and just need to practice more, and at least I know what the proper form/movements should be even if I am not as coordinated yet as I would like.

Not great. She's declining. Our favorite HHA, who's been with us since October, doesn't think she'll last the summer. We're prepared. My brother spoke with the agency and we are now getting HHA coverage in the afternoons, every day, which has done wonders for him, he's not tied to my mother's house every day, he can go home, get his rest, and tend  to his own life.

She is adorable. And what a pretty voice she has!

[Red Bridey]

Hiya, darlings! I wondered if we were watching this repeat so was not in a huge hurry to jump in. Glad to see the gangs all here!

Eating habit was cheese ravioli and one hot Italian sausage. Glass of wine. I vaguely remember these people but not enough to care about them!

I love love love my Honda Civic. Great car. It's a 2012 and other than routine maintenance, I've had no problems with it at all.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve been there. It is so difficult and exhausting and stressful. You all take care of yourselves. I am guessing my mystery ailments are likely due to all the pent up stress I was experiencing.

She is lovely but I really disliked her after watching The Dropout…she was just that good

[Hellga]

Hold on, is that mac and cheese I see???  Not on the diet!

[sainte-chapelle]

No Vianey that portion is huge

[Red Bridey]

I keep hearing VNA unsteady of Vianey. I wondered why this guy was preparing a meal for the Visiting Nurse Association!

[ams1001]

Thinking I'll switch to Celeb Jeopardy in a few minutes but I'll still chat. Maybe I'll switch back during the commercials.

I don’t blame you, this is a snooze

[Hellga]

I couldn't quite make out what they were saying - they are hoping that they can go shopping for food after Vionne loses enough weight to get surgery???  Isn't that the most perverse motivation to lose weight?  And do they think that surgery is a magic 'eat whatever you want, however much you want for the rest of your life' free pass?  So many on this show share in that delusion...

Yeah, these two are completely missing the point. And all they talk about is food, still. They are not making the effort. 

As she was stepping onto the scale I was saying, out loud "MAYBE ten pounds". 

What a pair of sad sacks.

I have broccoli and will be making broccoli cheese soup with Velveeta. Sorry. Sometimes you just need the original

You are right about processed... I made mac and cheese from scratch once... very different taste.  And the mess wasn't worth it.  I buy a Bob Evans two-pack every couple months.
