The Front Porch Swing

[LindaB220]

That's how Justin has been doing it. I pack him healthy foods (lots of it) and he doesn't eat pizza at work.



About 4-5 months before:



309 end of August, 285 now... Just by bringing lunch to work. He was close to 400 lbs, years ago, before we officially met (I'd seen him once before at a Domino's seminar in 2007, my husband introduced me to his wife.)

Looking good!!!! Just a little of your TLC and he is set. My gson AJ is 270 and wanting to lose. But he doesn't want to give up cokes, pizza etc. He has backed off and lost 5 lbs in 5 days. I say Keep it up.

Another new layer today. My SLW named Speckles. We are up to 9 so far even in this chilly weather.

Ok so here is as far as I got with the tree. That darn food poisoning wiped me out. I got as far as setup and watering and sat down to take a break and oh look it's bedtime now. LOL Not to mention the kitten is obsessed with the darn thing. I have to tie it to the wall in case she climbs it.



and this, ladies and gentlemen, is my egg snowman. I have had this for years and just realized it looks like an egg! It's going in the front yard this year.

When my cats were still young, they would try to climb the Christmas tree. I had a cheep fake one, one of those that you need to reshape the branches every year before you put them onto the "tree trunk". Everyday after work I would have to put branches back onto the tree before plugging it in. With the lights on the tree, the branches would be dangling.

Ebenezer (Ebony) hasn't climbed in it yet but she chews on the very bottom branch. It's a very soft, dense tree, there is not a lot of available space for climbing. I guess we'll see. So far, she seems more interested in the snowman ladder. It's more her size.

The tree is still up, so no damage...yet.

Thanks @Alice28 I cannot believe I have the perfect outdoor decoration for my chicken obsession and didn't realize it. LOL

Ooo! We have the same snowman! I got him years ago on super sale after Christmas. We call him Humpty Dumpty! Hope you get well soon!

Afternoon everybody, hope your day is well. Mine is going fine. Drizzling outside but still warmish at 50-60 or so. My DD put our tree up this year on yesterday. Each year she buys a different small tree and this year it's a 3' tall purple shiny tree and cute as a button. Matching bags around it to fill with presents when the time comes. She and AJ have asthma so bad that keeping them year to year or fresh ones just don't cut it.
I have a lot of stuff I've bought recently to put out in the storeroom for the chickens. But the only thing is, I was waiting to get the storeroom cleaned out and organized to have shelves available. So Aimee calls my room the hoarder room. It's going outside, I promise. She doesn't believe me.

But you know, I bought a lot of things pertaining to the chickens and my garden supplies. Hopefully I'll get it out of the house before Spring.

Linda, I know the feeling, my kitchen and laudry/mud room are packed with stuff that needs to GO OUTSIDE. I mention it every time someone grabs the door handle, but by then it's too late.

We come back in and I just shake my head. Tools, buckets, gloves, feeders, etc. I need a shed for my coop too or a bigger mudroom/laundry room.

Misty, same here clearanced back when I still went to Walmart. I never noticed he was egg shaped until yesterday. LOL
