I found something similar in the Nutrisystem program's forum. The beauty of Nutrisystem is that as long as you eat a breakfast from their breakfast selection, a dinner from their dinner selection, a supper from their supper selection, and snacks from their snacks selection, you'll lose weight. It works as long as you don't cheat, and there are no calculations required. Given how expensive the program is, why would I want to do the math? If I wanted to do math, I could count calories. Yet, the regulars in the Nutrisystem forum make it sound like it requires a Master's Degree to do Nutrisystem.
I have been busy today but don't have much to show for it. My husband is over at MIL's house; he was meeting with the estate sale people today and going over everything. The estate sale is scheduled for January 8 which will be here before we know it. I noticed the pool pump was sounding kind of loud so I went out and dumped the pump skimmer basket, cleaned it out, and re-started the pump. The lawn crew arrived so I gave them each a Christmas card with a little $$ inside and told them to take next week off. They mostly just blow leaves around and clean acorns off the pavement anyhow... not much mowing in December. I did some cleaning in the kitchen and rearranged some stuff. Got a grocery delivery and put all that away. Then I piddled with the Aerogardens. One garden with a cucumber vine keeps having issues with the water level indicator. I believe the float is probably full of roots but so far a slight "jiggle" to slosh the water tank a little seems to get it to work but not today. Just when I had decided to take it apart it started working correctly so I put that off for another day. I had ordered another Aerogarden shelf unit thing during their sale and it was delivered today, so I decided to assemble that. Since it is the 3rd one I have bought I had no problem putting it together. I ordered the food for Christmas Eve from the BBQ place, except I decided to just order brisket and sausage from them. Then I ordered a party tray of chicken wings from Buffalo Wild Wings. I bought those a couple of years ago and the grandkids seemed to really like them. I'll make a cake and a pie on Saturday. Now I'm just kicked back with my feet up.
I'm busy doing a little cleaning today, then I'll make a pie and a cake later. I can't believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve already! I'm getting excited to see the kids and have a fun time with them.
We had a really nice Christmas Eve with the kids and grandkids. It was noisy and a bit chaotic but that's our family. Like my mama used to say, "Love to see 'em come and love to see 'em go!!" I think everyone had fun. Our oldest daughter and SIL are in Germany but they called and we all got to FaceTime with them. None of them stayed over so it's back to just my husband and me, and we are relaxing today. I mopped the kitchen this morning since there was some sticky "mystery stuff" all over the floor. Not sure if that was left by my daughter's drooling boxer or the smaller grandkids, but it had to go. I put on a load of laundry to wash my new robe (thanks, kids) and then put some red beans on to soak. We decided that red beans and rice with sausage sounds like a nice dinner on a cold evening. Not very fancy for Christmas but we had a big spread last night and plenty of pies and a cake left over. I put a pecan pie that my sister-in-law made in the freezer. My daughter-in-law was fascinated by my Aerogardens so I gave her one and some herbs/lettuce seeds to get her started. She loves to garden but since they recently lost their home to a house fire, they are living in a condo temporarily so the AG will give her some fresh herbs on the kitchen counter this winter. It is an absolutely beautiful day today; perfect for Christmas... cold and clear and sunny. Very different from Christmases past when we'd be at my MIL's house with all the extended family. Nothing lasts forever but that tradition went on for many great years. I hope all my SOC friends are having a great Christmas, too.
Too bad Christmas gifting is over for this year; I could have bought some of this for my sons. "Extreme" hot sauce.
OMG. I was just reviewing the Ring camera video from last night and what do I see??? This really creeps me out; you know he is up to no good. See video... https://ring.com/share/9bbf77fb-10b8-4498-8647-a48cfb23dbb4
That IS creepy. Maybe save a screenshot because he might have found a vehicle unlocked nearby your house and this would help the police identify him, if so.
I posted the video on the Ring "Neighborhood Alert" thing. I have saved the video and several screen shots, plus it is on the Ring servers. This makes me feel creeped out. He was approaching the truck when the Ring Floodlight came on, then he took off.
