This Week on the Dining Table

The "People Are Disgusting!" Edition.....  

This is the sight that greeted me as I got out of Hubs car at PT last Wednesday in the parking lot.  It's a few sheets from the end of a roll of paper towels AND the paper towel tube.  It looks like someone spilled coffee or some other liquid in their car, whipped out the last of a roll of paper towels they also had in their car to wipe up the spillage and then dropped this mess on the ground in the parking lot for me to almost step in as I exited the car and then for me to take a photo of.

I swear if trash in this parking lot were coins I'd be filthy rich!lol

This is day 183 of the new "diet".  Down 53 lbs. since the cruise(not counting the 8 I gained on the cruise and then lost again, which would make it 61 lbs.).

No menu planning for me now, mostly things Hubs can do.  The meals may not happen on the days noted but they will happen this coming week.  I have earned the right not to, in my mind at this point.  I am giving up control of meals to Hubs.  I will put in requests now and then.

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?

Any deals on food at your stores this week?  

I may post sporadically after this one or I might not, depending on drugs and stuff.
