HI Barb! Super cute layout. Love the veneers!

I wish we were having ya'll's weather. Its just too hot/humid. We still had a HEAT INDEX of 92 at 10:30PM last night. Can you believe it? Its that storm that made landfall in Lousiana. The "clean" side gets the humidity and excessive heat while the "dirty" side gets all the rain, flooding from storm sturge and tornadoes. So it could be alot worse and I'm trying not to complain too much. We hit a high of 98 yesterday. Today we are supposed to be 100 and even HOTTER tomorrow. And that's just air temperature. I don't even want to THINK about what the heat index will be. So inside I will be. ALL WEEK. Of course, with the exception of getting the mail, groceries, etc. Thank god for a/c! And NO walk today - actually no walk this week. I'm staying in and using the bike to get my daily exercise.

I got started on my 3rd layout yesterday - Double Page Challenge but had to stop to make dinner. Not sure if I'll do any scrapping or not. Today I'm working on updating the current Disaster Plan for my client. They tend to update it around May/June - just in time for Hurricane Season. NOW...with everything else going on, it even talks about what a foster parent will do in case of a disaster not planned/forecasted AND terrorism. Crazy world we live in.

HOpe everyone has a great day.

Hey Cherries. Another nice sunny day here today. 74 degrees and no humidity. I love it! I'm doing laundry today and hope to scrap. DH and DS and I are going to decide today if we are going to have our cleaning people come back on Wednesday or not. Depending on what decision we make will determine what else I am going to do today. If we don't have them come then I have a bunch of cleaning to do. If we do have them come then I have a bunch of stuff I have to put away. A lot of the things we were able to get delivered like hand soaps and laundry products and paper towels and some non perishable groceries I have all on the kitchen table and on the table in the foyer. And my dining room table has things all over it from a closet that needs to be reorganized. So yeah I really need to put all that away. Either way lol.

I do want to get some scrapping in today. I finished my layout for MMC Challenge #2 last night. I had a lot of fun with it. So now I can move on to the regular monthly challenges.

Have a great day Cherries and stay safe!

Hello All! 
It's super hot here on the patio. I jumped in the pool then grabbed my MacBook. to check in here but it is super hot, 110 on the patio in the shade.  I can not stay out.  Gonna head in and get something started.  

I went to jump in the pool this morning and there was a little snake in it.  It is now in the skimmer basket for someone else to get rid of.  lol. I don't like critters! 

Wedding is postponed until next summer, sending out new save the dates soon.  Daughter ordered them. Dresses have come in but will wait for fittings until much later. 

I have started a dr supervised fasting diet in hopes to drop a few pounds I've put on.  Otherwise, said dress will not fit.

Right, water is not fun for the entire fasting time. But it really does help I think. I am in the same boat.  This is the article she gave me.  You can sign up for free to read it, but if you don't want to message me an email and I'll send you the chart she gave me to follow.  I don't know how to add it here without uploading to the gallery.  It is pretty much this: 

You can do each for a week or a month depending on how well you adjust.  It's more of a healthier way of eating lifestyle as posed to counting calories.  If you have more then 50 pounds to lose then adding the calorie limiting days in will drop weight quicker.  

10 hour feeding period at least 5 days out of the week.   1000 calories 1 day. 
8 hour feeding period at least 5 days a week      1000 calories 2 days a week 
6 hour feeding period 5 days a week                     750 calories 2 days a week 
6 hour feeding period 7 days a week.                   500 calories 2 days a week 

Again, the calorie restriction is for severely obese that need to lose the weight for health reasons.  
I'm doing just the fasting/eating periods.  I am trying a couple of different apps but the Life app seems to be the easier to use.  

My eating window is 8 hours this week. I eat when I am hungry and  only until I'm full.  

You can drink water, black or green tea or coffee during fast.  No added sweetener.
