How are you all spending today Labor Day?

Ok I think there's something wrong with mylot today, because 3x in a row, I tried to comment back to your comment and it got deleted?? I'll try again in a little while maybe?

I don't understand but it booted me out again? Ok I have to post a short msg instead. Dora take advantage of your coupons before they expire, don't be like me. Also, take advantage of your "alone time" with your honey, before your child gets home.

Our oldest daughter was busy traveling back from her boyfriend's parent's house about 4 hrs. away. Our middle daughter was on the road with her husband and baby and our youngest lives in another state. Many holidays we can't spend together since our middle daughter and her husband are firefighters/paramedics. Their schedules change and they have to work holidays when scheduled. They love their jobs and I love what they are doing to help others.

Hello carolbee, Oh thank you too for the Anniversary wishes. Not the same without the husband here but oh well...Sometimes you just need one of those relaxing, quiet days where you just get to chill and do nothing. Well, you did venture out at least carolbee? :) The casino, yeah I'm not much of a gambler because I'm always too afraid to lose so not me, but glad you had fun though. Oh well, too bad you couldn't see your kids...

Hello friend! Well it sounds like you had a nice day on Friday, I mean who doesn't enjoy delicious food and socializing.. I know I'm supposed to be going out today but haven't managed to get myself off this site yet! Mad at myself about that...Oh well... Vietnamese food, I absolutely adore it because I'm always open to different cultures and ethnic food in particular. Well, Vietnamese food is very popular with its delicious soups called Pho that I usually order. The stock is usually beef broth, with vermicelli (rice noodles) some kind of meat, I usually chose shellfish, also has bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, fish balls, and it's divine! You can also season it with hoisin sauce and hot sauce as well if you want some "heat". I always order a small size and the bowls are huge! Now if you don't want soup there are also the salad rolls which are made of rice paper, vermicelli noodles, will have pork or shrimp in them and are served with a peanut dipping sauce. There are also spring rolls (deep friend) and quite good. Also the meat skewers are delicious too. They're usually flat pounded down pieces of meat that are bbq on skewers, and topped with chopped peanuts, cilantro and a dipping sauce. If you're going to one of those restaurants I'd even ask what's the most popular option? Anyway, if you enjoy trying different kinds of food, I think you'll really enjoy it. Plus for the most part, Vietnamese food is quite healthy too, not heavy or stodgy. Let me know if you do. :) Oh thank you for the Anniversary wishes. I just received a huge monster bouquet from the hubby, that he had sent over while in NY. Yes I'm a lucky gal...:)

Hello Jenn, Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yes I'm spending it with me, myself and I...;) I just came back from my lunch with a friend, followed by power walk in the park/woods. It was the weirdest thing too because I was approached by this stranger who shook my hand, kissed it, complimented me on my looks, and asked me to join him in the woods? Aw no thanks...He could be some pervert, well told him I was married and then he promptly asks me out for dinner? Some people don't get the msg. Oh and I should point out that he was old enough to be my father! Eeeks! not my cup of tea. Oh that's fun going to those outlets, esp when you have lots of mullah to spend. Were they packed today? I would think so. Although I love shopping, I really don't like being in crowds, almost too claustrophobic for me. Ooh homemade pizza, love that especially with everything on it like peppers, onions, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, oregano, pineapple, etc. I'm taking it easy eating lightly today, since we had Mexican the other day. Well you have fun too now!!

Well hello EnglishTeaDuck, (cute name btw)! Thank you for the Anniversary wishes. You must be so excited to visit your family & friends!!! I know I would be. I was in England last year visiting friends in Tynemouth, Newcastle and London and the people in the Tynemouth were really nice and friendly. Where will you be visiting? So, I enjoyed the sightseeing, meeting people, but not the food so much, although I did like the Indian takeaways though. A lot of my friends have moved to Europe though so I try to see them as much as I can. Wow your parents have been married for 50 yrs. That is an achievement in itself in today's day. I'm sure it will be a big bash for them. Oh yeah now you have to do all the "humdrum" packing, housework and all those little but stressful last minute things. Well have a wonderful vacation and I hope you wind up putting some comments up around here, the travel section or wherever...? :)

Hi mysecret, You're right that Walmart is great for sales, the only thing I have to admit is that I can't STAND being in crowds, and Walmart tends to be quite busy with long crowds. If I'm not home I can usually be found at a coffee place like Starbucks or something, or doing yoga somewhere.

Hi sizzle, Sometimes boring is good. I admit although I made plans today, I don't really feel like keeping them as I'm starting to feel kind of sluggish and not very motivated. Was supposed to go for my hike (hasn't happened yet), supposed to meet my friend for lunch (haven't called her yet to confirm), I've just been mylotting instead...lol Sounds like you had a great weekend though with lots of yummy food! We ate a ton of food yesterday, so that's probably why I'm sluggish today. I guess you had shrimp skewers I'm guessing? So, you have your movies all picked out. Maybe later I'll watch a movie also. I should probably go for my hike, or not...

hello, I guess we're one of those people that barbecue even if it's raining or snowing outside. Yeah I guess we're probably weird but we enjoy barbecued food. What are you tutoring the child in? Rainy weather...yes we've been having enough of that and I thought to myself that yesterday seemed like October, really rainy & windy and I actually felt like hibernating and avoiding people.

Hi arcidy, I've always found it's better to get monotonous things like schoolwork out of the way first, so that way you can enjoy the rest of your day, without it "looming" in your mind. Oh that Tom Cruise movie, right. I haven't seen it and not sure if I will. It wasn't based on a true story was it? Yes I'm trying to get my but out to go workout but would rather mylot before I go for lunch. I feel so unproductive today...

Hi dlr297, Oh ok so you're just going to "chill" and relax, that's sometimes what you need to recharge the batteries. I know I was supposed to head out to do my hike, but I guess I'll have to do that after my lunch with a friend.
