QUESTION OF THE DAY = MONDAY AUG 4:When does school start in your area?
My kids go to a private school and start back on the 13th the public schools in start on the 20th. I can't believe summer is almost over already! I still need to get school supplies/cloths so I guess I know what I'll be doing this week or next weekend.

MOLLY
Schools here start on September 3. Public universities don't start until the end of September.
I am attending my first semester of college on September 25th. I finished high school over 10 years ago. 
I'm so excited this will be a big change for me but I am so ready.

Yay for you! I took about 6 years off in the middle of my undergrad, and I'm so glad I did! Some people are ready for college at 18, but I really needed some time to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life. I feel like I had a real advantage in maturity and life experience when I went back to school. I hope you have a great time.
QUESTION OF THE DAY -- TUESDAY AUGUST 5
Soup and sandwich? Soup and salad? Salad and Sandwich? Which combo, and what kind of soup/salad/sammy would you have?
Roasted red pepper and tomato soup from Trader Joe's and grilled cheese! 100 calories per cup of soup, and under 200 calories for the grilled cheese if you use the Sara Lee 45 calorie/slice bread and fat free cheese. Still SOOOOOOOOO yummy! Soup and grilled cheese is one of my all-time favorites!

I love the soup/sandwich combo they have at Panera Bread Co. I haven't had the chance for a long time, but when I do I prefer to do it on Friday to get the New England Clam Chowder. My sandwich is turkey on wheat (no condiments!), with lettuce, tomato, sprouts, and avocado.

I don't like soup unless it's really cold outside. In the summer, I'm a salad and sandwich girl. In the winter, it's soup and sandwich, but the sandwich has to be hot. My favorite salad/sammy combo is a tofurky sandwich and a tomato and cucumber salad. In winter, its grilled portabello, swiss, spinach, and tomato sandwich with tomato soup or minestrone.

Being good? Then I'll have French Onion Soup with turkey sandwich on wheat.
Being bad? Then I'll have creamed potato soup with a peanut butter and bacon sandwich on toasted wheat.

preferably all three:-) in winter, it is soup, in summer more salad-ish. i would love to have a cream of leek soupwith any sandwich that has lots of cheese and is made of italian ciabatta. or tomato soup with this, and the sandwich would have some garlic bread. now i mostly eat wasa crispbread instead though... sandwiches just tend to have too many cals.

soup and sandwich - My favorite would be tomato soup w/ a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. Although a hot bowl of chili and a peanut butter sandwich is a close second.
In the summer I usually have some kind of salad, usually romaine based, with a little chicken or lean ham. I use the salad spritzers for dressing. When not having salad, DH makes a mean potato soup, NOT creamy, too that I'll often have with a half a sammy using his homemade bread (which has no added fat or sugar and is WONDERFUL!)

Oooo, I love soup & salad or soup & sandwich. I would most likely have a vegetable soup, (yummy) & probably a turkey sandwich.
I worked at a bagel shop one time that served soup & sandwiches too. I loved the vegetable soup with spinach in it and a sun dried tomato bagel to eat along side it! OOh makes me miss that place.
