Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned Hannah, and hopefully a rest from how busy you have been. Hope your plants got planted Teardrop and didn’t suffer from being ignored all week (I hate when I buy plants with good intentions and then wait until they are ? dead to plant them. I’m not much of a gardener). Sorry, I’m no help in the computer dept. I can barely post on here without posts getting lost, I know how you feel MM. I have resorted to copying before I post just in case. For reasons I don’t understand I have to keep logging in again about every 3rd post; most annoying. (Probably my guardian angel telling me I have lots of other work to do) Congrats to making it to 16 DG. Think of another reward for your good behavior!!!!!! How about some nice ice tea with fresh mint and laying around for a bit since you have been working so hard? And to Big Mac for almost 60, Teardrop for at least 54 and Kaddy for over 90. Welcome Wobbly! I spent day one (or rather a recent day 1, I’ve had a few I’m afraid) on here and in a movie theater for almost 5 hours (2 shows) since you can’t drink there! Good luck.
I’m on day 7 and feeling really good. But tonight is a huge challenge. On Fridays, Jews have a nice meal and say blessings over candles, wine and bread. Well the literal translation is “fruit of the vine” so kids drink grape juice. I don’t like grape juice so I’m busy trying to think of a good substitute. I’m thinking raspberries – technically a bramble bush but lots of people call it a vine! I also keep telling myself that choosing life almost always comes first. I think part of the problem for me is that sometimes I still have a hard time accepting that it is more than a problem of will power for me. I accept it for everyone else, but sometimes get on a negative “if you just really tried and used your willpower” jag for myself. So anyway, it is good to have threats of ugly green suits today.
Well I’ve used up more than my 15 minute reward break from weeding (did not get it done yesterday as it was way too windy) and need to get back to it. Thanks everyone for support – have a good weekend.
go stomp Al into little itty bitty bits! We are rootin' for you DG, if you feel tempted tomorrow, please think of us all sending you strength, and the determination that HELL YES I CAN DO THIS!!!!
Yo Doggy! You go girl!

:upset: I am so jealous of your 7lbs DG! The weeding was not bad and I got brownie points from DH for the yard looking nice when he came home yesterday. Plus, we spent a ton on xeriscaping the yard (Planting low water/desert plants with rocks, etc) and the poor new plants were being strangled. Maybe you will be lucky and no weeds will grow on your rooftop garden. Teardrop, cilantro is an herb that looks a lot like flat leaf parsley. The seeds are coriander. Maybe it is sold as coriander? It is used a lot in Mexican food and some in Spanish food. My husband does not like it so I have tried to find substitutes. The best I've come up with is parsley and basil. Hope your recipe worked out.
