I held mother's day lunch for my mother in law and her two birth daughters, one of whom is my wife. She said it was the first Mother's Day with her three daughters. That felt good

Shopping and eating shrimps, crawfish and crabs to celebrate mothers day.

I know shrimp = prawns, but what are crawfish?

crawfish, cray fish look like mini lobsters but live in fresh water.

Being able to be Jenny all weekend.
I love those blue m&m's.

What happened to you LordKAT? Did you fall in a bowl of talcum powder?

Yabbies?

Only 2 weeks or so until my surgery, I'm getting excited. I'm having liposuction & a tummy tuck. My body should look so much nicer with a very thin waist. I'm also having some surgery on my face to hopefully remove an older nasty scar that I've had since childhood. Happy mother's day to all & to my dear mother, RIP.

Just looked it up. Yes, although yours appear to be endangered and our are ubiquitous. In keeping with the day my mother told me a story when I was little of how she and her friends, growing up during the Depression, would steal potatoes from their mother's bins. Then they'd go down to the creek and catch crayfish and roast both in a campfire and have a feast. The story usually ended with her telling me NOT to play by the same creek which was a short walk from our house. Cognitive dissonance!

Mm yabbies are not endangered by any means. Strange how we have different names for things.

Today my mum blew my mind with a reply to my message I sent her for Mother's Day.

This is the first time since my transition that she has said these words and I burst out crying in happiness when I read her text back to me.
This is the reply .

Oh thank you darling. My first mothers day with my special daughter.  Will send a msg when leaving this arvo. Xxx

For the 9 months I've been transitioning she has been very supportive but struggled to say goodbye to her (son). But now it is very clear that she is and has embraced me as her daughter .
Then at dinner tonight the waitress asked if we were local she replied I'm not but my daughter is.
Love you mum xxoo

I was going by Wikipedia. Glad to hear they're not endangered. Most likely "crayfish" is an Anglicization of a French word. Crayfish are very popular in Cajun cuisine. Mmmm! Maybe I'll make a crayfish poboy later in the week instead of fish tacos. How do you eat them in Australia?

Just checked, in French "crayfish" is "écrevisse". It's easy to see how the name was derived.

The British crayfish is fast disappearing as the American crayfish which is bigger is eating them.Despite being a wildlife watcher I've never seen a crayfish outside the supermarket

My friend told me she thought I have "womanly arms, in the good way". I was so touched as I feel like I look like a body builder. It helped me realize just how distorted my body image is. It was a much needed dose of hope.

I baked some very nice Oopsie bread yesterday. It's made from eggs, cream cheese, Psyllium husks, baking powder.... You have to seperate the white from the yellow & really fluff it up, then fold back together for it to have the right testure. It tasted great & has 0 carbs unlike any normal bread. My 3rd week on the Atkins diet & I've lost 10 pounds or so. I'm a happy girl. 

Er yesterday.. 

Spending the day at my daughters with all the family... Treasure these moments not knowing the very near future... So great day, lots of food and wine, chat and grandkids with noise 

Loved it... Ahhhhhh
