Hi, Weekenders!

Monday is almost in the books . Relaxing after a hectic day.

I surely in for some pounds loss - my goal is 15.

Have a good non-stressful Monday, all)

Thank you for the most excellent support and feedback on my bumtron situation, MLD, Ruby, Bix, brynn, everyone! I think that is a sound and solid plan and I will do that! Man, it's almost like we are real grown ups around here!

I am all about Bim this morning, loved your posts and was telling myself yeah comment on that yeah that one too oh there's another good one oh crap I'm losing track! So can I just say I'm Team Storm Bim cuz you stormed through the Weekenders part 2 this morning dropping solid support and cool observations. And you freaking nailed it with the Jack Johnson song! I always click thank you on the videos ppl post but I rarely to never watch them... but Jack Johnson. Yum. Full stop. Observe and control breathing. Yum. Get it together, Melina. He's probably married. Oh that smooth voice. Mm mm mmmm.

If ya wanna talk bees ever, I'll shoot you my numbah. I was too hungover to find the remote to change the channel about I don't know, 13 or around there years ago. The Reading Rainbow was on and it was about honeybees and beekeeping. I was transfixed and I felt like I was having a spiritual experience. I knew in my gut it was the supreme answer to something, it was going to provide or make a connection in the universe I needed. So I became a beekeeper.

Who says hangovers aren't good for anything, HA! Kept me a captive audience and changed my life!

Right? There is a pretty active group here in my area, involved with Univ of WA. I also live in an agricultural valley so there are quite a few organic farmers, commercial greenhouses, wineries etc. I would think there has to be a lot of beekeepers.

Idgie is one of those characters in movies who I really related to and identified with. Great movie.

I think I might look into it this summer, I'll have a yard at my new house too.

I'm not going to become a late-blooming lesbian, am I? (Because, Idgie, let's talk.)

God knows I have no luck with the Y chromosome.

Bliss, going home at a civilised time. Apparently Boss was prevented from calling work several times by Mrs Boss. He seemed relieved that he still had a business to come back to - cheek!

Ai chihuahua!

I hate it!
A couple of my best friends from teenage years ( both Canadian) live in LA.
They are hanging out at the beach ( I introduced them)
And I'm here in the cold!!!! That's it, I'm gonna plan a trip down there soon.

Its also annoying because they both have really big boobs and I don't.
I can't get a break!!!!

Talk me off the ledge, people. I let myself get too hungry today and I want to eat every carb in the house. I did just have a sensible lunch, but I want to go find the candy...

I wonder how my neighbors with small kids would feel about me doing some beekeeping in my yard. Or if I'm even allowed to in my town?

Sit for twenty minutes with that sugar urge, MLD. It will just make you crash and want more.

I wouldn't even attempt to have bees where I live, they would have to be housed on someone elses' property. I just want to learn about it - I am nowhere near thinking I might want my own bees.

I'm starving too.
I had that plant/ ground shake with almond milk and a slice of spelt flax bread.
Its almost lunch and I'll have a veggie pita a greek yogurt.

Any words of wisdom melina?
I don't even know how much sober time I have; I relapsed so much I just stopped bothering to count.
I think my last relapse was recorded by me posting so at some point I'll go back and look.
I seem to do better with not paying attention.
