Carberry: Yes...I picked that saying up from a friend. It sounds a lot more politically correct than intoxicated, or drunk:)
Carole: What a good Aunt you are to do that shopping for your neices and newhew...I know they will love their new clothes and won't care that they came from a Goodwill store. I'm going to have to give that a try...kids grow so fast and I hate paying those high retail prices. I did get a set of used Taylor Made clubs. We looked at the golf store and I tried them out, but the guy wouldn't deal, so we came home and BF went on ebay and purchased a set of used which I will be perfectly happy with. Can't wait for them to arrive so I can try them on the golf course.
Too bad I'm not a betting person, because the BF did go out to play golf even with the thunder and lightening going on. Personally I think that's a little obsessive, since he had a long golf day yesterday, but it's his choice, as long as he leaves me some means of transportation to do what I want. Fortunately, I'm very good at entertaining myself!
Happy Saturday everyone!

Over-beveraged. Great.
Momine - I eat very little red meat, but I do compromise a few times a year with a good steak. And now a good prime rib place. I'd already phased it out in favor of fish & chicken well before BC.
Laurie thinking of you.

Minus, I may start allowing myself a little meat here and there. It just surprised me that I miss it so much. But now that I am on femara, I am really scared of the cholesterol in meat and eggs and cheese
I let myself have two eggs a week though, because I have to have pancakes sometimes.0 -
I got 'Over beveraged' last night. LOL! Feeling a little puny today. Nothing taste better than spicy foods day after an over beveraged night! Made a yummy virgin bloody mary with lots of horshradish, celery salt, worcheshire, hot sauce and some lemon juice. So good.
Laurie- Hope you check in soon and let us know how your appt. yesterday went. ((((hugs))))
Everyones dinners sounds so good. Carol- What a great auntie your are. I agree dressing up girls is so much more fun. Michelle- Cracked up at your comment on guys on golf and not remmebering a grocery list.
I havnt had prime rib in awhile that sounds so yummy!
Seaside- Wondering how your doing?

Hi ladies, checking in really quick, sorry I haven't posted. So, I thought I had it all figured out, that an infection was causing the pvc's. Nope. My PS ran a bunch of tests and I have no infection, which is good. But now what is causing the pvc's? He said the breast pain I have been having is being caused by the pvc's not that the breast pain is causing them. And here I thought I was so smart! lol, ohwell. (ps Kaara- I took your advice and got on the pro biotics.)
I am doing ok, tired and a little frustrated, but good. Today we ran errands in the am and this afternoon we went for a long walk with the boys and my brother and his girlfriend to the river. It was a really nice walk. We just got back and gave them baths and ordered a pizza. I was going to make lasagna but it got too late. The walk lasted about 2 hours.
Thanks everyone for thinking of me and I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Went to my the trainer today then went to the community garden to weed my plot. I need serious help with that. Then took a nap and bought a birthday present for a friend. I just feel like being alone today. All "peopled out" from work. Grand dog is staying with me while DD is in India planning to ride an elephant. We went to the dog park today. Cat slapped her on her head today.
For dinner, more pasta with mushroom sauce! asparagus, and watermelon. Everyone's dinner sounds yummie! I hope you fell better Laurie!

Debbie: Back in the day when I used to wake up after "over beveraging", (see this great new term can be a verb or an adjective or adverb or...) my favorite thing after a bloody mary was Original KFC. That grease & those spices worked every time.

Laurie- Thanks for checking in. Shoot, i was hoping it was somthing you could fix right away. Sounds like you had a nice day today with family.
Bedo- When I use to work as a food server and being around people all the time i would have days like that too that i just wanted some quiet time and be alone. I did love my job though, I enjoyed working around people but could be very exhausting. That Darn Cat anyway!
Minustwo. LOL! I know I love that saying now somehow just sounds so much better hehe! Yes, greasy and spiceyer the better.
Yesterday I made soba noodles with teriyaki sauce and lots of ginger, added sauted cabbage, carrots, mushrooms and green onions, ate it cold today and it was so yummy.

Some years ago I decided not to get "overbeveraged" any more and I've pretty much stuck to that resolution. I've had my share of hangovers and they aren't fun.
I love steak and prime rib and other kinds of meat as well. Going vegetarian would be VERY difficult for me even though I enjoy salads and veggies.
Tonight we had grilled lamb chops, sauteed Swiss chard, salad and fresh baked bread. Everything was very good.
I'm reading a very interesting cookbook called The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters who owns a restaurant in Los Angeles called Chez Panisse. She was one of the early chef advocates of cooking food grown locally. I also have her cookbook entitled Chez Panisse Vegetables. I bought both books used on Amazon and they're like new.

Carole: I agree - it's not worth it. It's been a long time since I've overbeveraged except for a nephew's wedding 3 years ago. Too much champagne & that's a really bad next day. I think Alice Waters is from Northern CA - Berkeley I believe. But thanks for recommending the books. I'll look for the vegetable cookbook for sure. I think I have some credit left at Amazon from a Christmas gift.
Bedo: I used to be very social, but now really treasure as much lone time as I can get.
Laurie: Still sending (((hugs)))

How about the brown bottle flu? Another expression in my home for over indulgence. Though, only effective if you drink beer....

Laurie: So glad you found out there wasn't an ongoing infection impacting the heart, as that can sometimes be serious. Keep the app't with the cardiologist in hopes that it can be sorted out easily and some meds prescribed. My little half a beta blocker worked wonders for mine when I was having them so bad. You still have them, you just don't feel it as much. Do they get worse when you exercise or better? Mine used to go away when I exercised, so I think mine might have been caused by my slow heartbeat. I try to do cardio regularly.

OM Gosh - Trader Joes IS coming to Ft Worth June 15. Big middle of mess 'o construction on new Freeway coming in from SW. I thought I had heard they were but you know how BC disrupts things/thoughts/plans. That and no money to go spend there. Boo hoo. Their website says same day as opening in The Woodlands. Can't believe didn't go to Plano/Allen/Frisco or even Colleyville or Grapevine (what we call mid cities between Ft.Worth/Dallas) but in the big middle of Ft. Worth. AND get this - not but couple miles at best from Central Market. Central Market is as gourmet as it gets here in North Texas but it is just in Texas. We do have a Sprouts near my office and again in the same general area as Traders Joes and C.M. It just doesn't do it for me. Could spend my whole day, not to mention paycheck, in Central Market.
Planning pork roast (loin, boneless) this afternoon. Not so sure how I'm going to cook them. Have plenty of onions/carrots/couple of potatoes. Have a sage rub I use on tenderloin. Probably bed them down with lots of onions and cover with foil and cook low/slow. Albertons had buy 1/get 1 deal so will most likely do both and freeze extra one. Just DH and me.

Hi everyone! Sounds like everyone is having a pretty good weekend. The feeding frenzy continues as we went to a restaurant in Hampton, NH (The Old Salt for my local gals) and enjoyed the best Sunday brunch. Any further eating today will be leftovers as the fridge is full of styrofoam containers from the last couple of days.
Got a little disturbing news on Friday (ranks right up there as worst birthday present ever)... my tumor markers (CA 27.29) went from 31 in January to 55.8 last Wednesday. Sooo...I will be having a PET scan this week. It would already be scheduled except that I got the call late Friday afternoon. I'm trying to convince myself that the tumor marker test gives lots of false positives. Yep, that's it...false positive. I feel perfectly fine. All my other labs were perfect.
Speaking of over beveraging, my son's SO really over-indulged last night. We were at a karaoke bar and she really let loose. She was pretty funny and we really had a good time, but I suspect she's paying the penalty today. Like some of you others, I learned my lesson about too much alcohol quite a long time ago. The pukefest that always accompanied the partying was just not worth it, and it didn't take much to get me to that point. So now it's a couple drinks or glasses of wine and lots of water!0 -
Michelle- Oh Michelle I hope it is nothing but a false positive. I hope the pet scans will be normal, i know the scanxiety can drive you crazy, try to stay busy and not think about it. (not easy, I know) Saying prayers for you. {{{{hugs}}}}
Joyce- Sounds like you and Michelle had a great time out. Hope the doc gets your puter parts working lol!
Lovmygoats- Your pork roast sounds good. I made one last week and it was excellent.
I really have been good on Not over beveraging dont like how i feel the next day either. but everyone was buying shots for us, Never drink shots, dont know what i was thinking! I won't be doing that again.
Making Steaks and brussell sprouts for dinner with a ceasar salad and homemade croutons.

Invited to my daughters for dinner.............she experimented with a something new............she got it from her hairdresser's receptionist, and she got it from the "sample lady" at Trader Joe's.
You use.......Irish butter, Celtic cheese (Irish), any kind of veggie you want to .......she used asparagus, and spinach, and you use macaroni too.......she used bow ties.........the woman used the Mini's, my daughter used regular.................it was great.............my daughter hated it, her husband loved it, and I thought it was very good.............of course the kids said "no way" they are 11 and 13, and the one hasn't had a vegetable since he was 18 months old...............go figure, and today they don't force them......................anyway it was good.

Michelle... Sending huge hugs your way and, yes, there are a very large number of false positives associated with the CA 27.29 test..... But, that being said, it is really upsetting whenever the results are not exactly what we expect.....
Friday was not a good day for me either.... It was my 3 year mammo/US and, while I am hopeful that all will be well, there was a bit of a blip in that I usually wait for my results and typically they do the mammo/us and then I go back to the waiting room and get really annoyed at how long I am waiting.... Then they come and call my name and off we go and they say it all looks good.... That didn't happen this time.... They csme into the waiting room, called my name and, instead of the all clear, they said the doctor would like a few more ultrasound images and one of the surgeons will fo a real-time US to look further... WTH!
When I walked back into the US room there was the ultrasound pic that they were worried about up on the computer screen and it looked soooooooo like the one on the screen 3 years ago....The surgeon did a repeat US and seems to think that the shadowing they saw was a Coopers Ligament since the shadow disappeared with compression... i am left feeling somewhat uneasy with that impression... Will get the report next week and, if I still feel uneasy, I will ask to speak to my doctor....
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers....0 -
(((((Michelle)))))) I agree false positive. I am glad the rest of your tests showed good numbers. Let us know when the scan gets scheduled for. Sending lots of love your way. You are amazing.

Michelle & Seaside....Praying that you both get the ok on your tests. I guess once we have this stuff we look over our shoulders for the rest of our lives.

Oh.... and I should add... I totally over-beveraged that night...lol!!!

Michelle and Seaside...hugs and peaceful waiting time for both of you. Hoping for false positive, Michelle. Am glad you got to be with Joyce that evening. Thoughts with you.....

(((((Michelle)))) If your other TM tests are in the norm, I wouldn't get worried. They are keeping a good eye on you.

remember back in the good ol' days when, if one wanted to pass a test all you had to do was study?

Thanks, ladies!
Seaside - hugs and positive thoughts to you! This waiting game is never fun! JoyceK and our DH's polished off two bottles of Prosecco that night!
Apple - that is so true!!!
Deb - she didn't do any other TM tests, just the CA 27.29.
Have any of you heard about or read the book "Fifty Shades of Grey"? My daughters have read it and now I'm into it...oh my! It's extremely popular right now, the movie rights have been purchased but I suspect the movie will be X-rated, if you get my drift. I'm about halfway through this first of three books, my daughters read all of them within a few days. Naughty, naughty

Michelle: I have the book and am planning to start reading it next...right after I finish this last book in the Dragon Tatoo series which I'm not fond of at all:( Can't wait to be done with it and on to something more exciting. Maybe it will jump start my libido...lol!
0 -
Michelle- I heard that book is pretty racy:) I haven't read it yet, not sure if I am going to. I have heard good things about it too though.
Kaara- I read al three f the Dragon Tattoo series as well and did not care for them.
Another busy day today, making chicken parm for dinner tonight. Tomorrow afternoon I get put on the heart monitor patch for a week. I can shower with it and everything so not a big deal and step one for figuring things out.
