Surely something good happened to you today

[Butters]

Today, for the first time in six years, Christmas excluded, we had a sit down family meal.

We have sit down meals when we’re away, and at Christmas we have guests that can bring a table and chairs. But now, at long last, we have a dining table. Huge difference.

omg... my first croissant adventure
it smells like croissant, it looks like croissant and it taste like croissant... i guess it's croissants
(to be honest, they are just a tiny little bit "heavy", i should have proofing them an extra hour, its a bit chilly.
But im happy, and they are flaky waiting for my youngest son to arrive =)

^^ Mmmmm....

I went to a friend's outdoor movie night last night. The movie was horrible, but visiting with her and a couple of other people for the first time in a long time was really fun.

She even said I seemed happier than the last time she saw me.

These croissants are straight!!!

These croissants are straight!!!

Lol yes i read somewhere that the straight ones are made with butter
and crescent-shaped are made with margarine (?)
That sounds strange to me.... true, mine are with butter, but i simply didnt bother to curve them

Wrong. I only eat the ones made with butter and they're all crescent-shaped.

Picked up a few hours of work today.

Picked up a few hours of work today.

I dropped a few... Maybe they're the same ones!!

 

[Velocity]

That reminds me---I dropped a dress size! Now I just have to keep the poundage off. Not as much fun as putting it on...but it helps with managing diabetes.

 

[KimMH]

Congrats! That’s great!

 

[Velocity]

Thanks! I've been working on it and just noticed the results on the scales today!

Take care. Diabetes is a terrible disease, fortunately, there are cases (depends on the type of diabetes) where losing weight, beats it. It happened to a relative of mine.

These croissants look yummy, regardless of their s.. err.. axial orientation

Congrats @Velocity ! I've gained a few lbs again lately but nevertheless I now weigh 25 lbs less than 2 years ago when I was first diagnosed with type 2 =)

Good things today: I received a book written by a friend. Can't wait till after work to start reading.

There's just one problem. "Croissant" is French for "crescent"... So a croissant who's not crescent-shaped is a little bit of a contradiction in terms...

True. So true. I volunteer to confiscate those insufficiently curved buttery goodness pastries.

We did Taco Tuesday for dinner.

I bought some new jewellery.

An old friend contacted me and said he is in town on Saturday. We'll meet then and have a lot of catching up to do.
