Comments (14)GOOD FOR YOU! YOU CAN DO IT! Set small goals and rejoice when you reach each one. We will all cheer with you! In preparation for DD's wedding, I lost 20 lbs low carbing. I didn't find it onerous. I even had to have my dress altered at the last minute, because it was too big! Is your food all pre-packaged or will you be doing some cooking? If you will be cooking, you might like this recipe. I bake a batch to keep in the freezer. Ask your nutritionist if this will fit within you diet. If the 2 eggs are too much fat in your diet, I think you could substitute 3 egg whites without much loss to the recipe. Parmesan Spinach Cups 12 ounces fresh spinach, (see Note) 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese, or low-fat cottage cheese 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish 2 large eggs, beaten 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper Preheat oven to 400ðF. Pulse spinach in three batches in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add ricotta (or cottage cheese), Parmesan, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper; stir to combine. Coat 8 cups of the muffin pan with cooking spray. Divide the spinach mixture among the 8 cups (they will be very full). Bake the spinach cakes until set, about 20 minutes. Let stand in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges with a knife and turn out onto a clean cutting board or large plate. Serve warm, sprinkled with more Parmesan, if desired....See MoreJob Interview Luck
Comments (9)Thanks everyone! So far so good. The job checked DH's references and they gave him glowing reviews. He got called back yesterday and is going in today for the drug test which is not a problem. Everything is looking great so far but I will keep you posted.

Comments (23)The description was something I worked on one morning and am now at the point where I'm stuck and can't figure out wording to change it. I have to be in the mood to sit and type something out, which is why I posted it, hoping someone would take it on. I never thought of the man / crawl space / boat thing, but will keep it in mind if I do get the chance to rewrite. With school in it's last few days & graduation I'm not sure I will have time. I also had something else fall in my lap that needs my attention more. The features I included are things that need to be spelled out (except the name of the pavers) because, being surrounded by lakes, most houses don't have boat parking. It's common to see boats on the front lawn :( - also being close to the lakes, many houses do not have basements; so the space where the water heater, softener and what ever else is down there is, is a major plus. If anyone's ever worked on a house with only a crawl that has outside access, it's the pits, especially in the winter when you have to dig it out to access the stuff. I agree about a larger green plant and have been shopping for one since February but have been unable to find them. Until this morning I never thought to look at Depot. I'm not a member of Costco any more; BJ's doesn't have it. I've been to every major store. The living room has more stuff in storage that we are debating bringing back. It will take a few hours to dig it out. The right corner actually has my vac which is covered with a doll I made. I grabbed the potted rose from the dining room for the pic. The 3 silk plants were purchased locally the day the realtor came to take the pics because it needed something & living where I do, we don't have many stores. Walmart is 30 minutes away. The realtor doesn't have the office pic up, I hoped she would but chose other shots instead. The master wasn't ready when she came and I haven't had time to get back there to take pics. Our realtor doesn't like to post bathroom or bedroom pics, something about personal spaces, but we'll try to get a master shot in. I live in the pines. A day of shopping means leaving at 8 and coming back at 3. I've done more trips then my body can stand. I will be going out today to do returns, not sure my back can handle looking for more props. Tricia, the fridge is not in the picture. In the pic, you see the built in freezer; the fridge in to the left of that. If we were staying, I would redo the cabinets, putting a pantry type one where the cookbook shelf is. The trash usually sits there, I took it out for the pic. I haven't posted the realtor.com link. IMO the pics were too low resolution and look grainy. I have to sift through the shots I have and send the originals to the realtor. She may end up posting the pics she took. She was having computer issues which is why she used mine. I'm so anal after reading here, I took my own shots just in case I didn't like the ones that were taken. Since mine were edited 1st, she went with it....See MoreWish us luck on our offer
Comments (16)Good luck to you. We just made an offer on a house, that in my opinion has some significant issues, like no second floor bathroom where the bedrooms are, the bricks are crumbling around the posts in the basement,(you know the ones holding up the first floor) the roof has moss growing on it and water damage that we can see, some of the siding is warped and peeled away from the house so when it rains it goes right down inside behind the siding, the roof over the garage is sagging and when you go inside you can clearly see that there are support rafters missing, mice and/or mice poo in the attic, the appliances in the kitchen are at the end of their lifespan, the kitchen is a lovely functional knotty pine (described by the listing agent as "elegant" knotty pine ?!?) but the stove and dishwasher are clearly from the knotty pine days too. All my agent keeps telling me is that the house faces the river across the street and so I should not be concerned about those future costs. I am of the opinion, heck yes, I should because they are pricey things that go far beyond cosmetics. She focuses on the possibility that I could have an in-law or one bedroom apartment on the back. Well not unless we fix that little problem with the roof support, and the lack of a bathroom ... maybe I don't want to cut up the house to rent it out... Not every property with a water view and access is golden. You have to go past some pretty nasty low rent buidlings to get to the property and there was a concern previously about that on that street. (I talked to one of the neighbors) I am pretty sick of being treated like a moron. Regardless, the worth of your little kingdom is affected by the crudiness of your neighbors and the condition of your home. You can have the best looking house, with a great view, but if your neighbors just stepped out of Deliverance, and the boiler is 20 years + old and the stove is so old the door won't close on it - that does tend to affect the price a little. Am I wrong on that? :) MP...See More
