Love my Reid but things are never in the correct place after company.

They sure do and I know what you mean, Em's boys moved everything

Will do and I'm so sorry about your kitties


Well there were big screams this morning, the girls were playing with Boots before school and she wee'd all over Jessica in her school uniform She wasn't happy!!!! We kept telling them to not be too excitable with her but they didn't listen

Maybe it's like Ab's driving lesson - now that it's happened, they'll learn.

************************************************** ****
Not much going on here today. I have team tennis drills at noon, and D is flying just during the day.

I've got no other plans. Tomorrow I'm heading to an Apple store to get the replacement iPhone. I've checked around and I can't do any better, and I really miss it.

Hope you all have a good start to the week!

My aunt got a new kitten and she says the same thing about hers. She actually directs her cat to go under the bed and behind things so she will dust it for her.

Good to hear your back is feeling better. The TOT treatment sounds like a great one! At least you had fun doing it. (OK...well that came out sounding kind of wrong).

So glad that Linds is doing great in 1st grade..so is Jimmy

Also glad to hear that school is going well.

No internet would drive me crazy

Hi Janet! Glad to hear Jimmy is doing great in school! And yes, not having the internet is no fun. Well, I did go to the library and had it at school but I couldn't hop on and off and surf like I do at home.

Hi CE!

It's not even LATE OCTOBER yet. It's MUCH too soon...

Sorry.

Apparently, it's time already to prep for CE's Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Recipes from last night to follow! Hope you all have a good night.

UGH! My brother had the Patriots game on yesterday and it did not look like it would have been a fun game to have played in or been at. I am not looking foward to the snow either.

Sorry T, but

Poor girls!

DR is home sick today. Poor kid is all stuffed up, croupy cough and has a fever. I'm hoping it doesn't spread to the rest of us. Not much else planned. Hope everyone else has a good Monday.

MIne was too I think it is a problem with Mickey Path, so I went to another site and made one

Morning! I'm read-up but didn't do quotes... forgive me? The insanity never ends around here; I'm waiting on a call from the AC repair people.

That's right, it's still broken. My friend's DH who got it to work... didn't. It may have worked for about 2 hours, then quit and we couldn't get it to start again. I've thrown in the towel and called the company I used in the past to give me a quote on a new condenser. OUCH! $$$$ I should make American Express very, very happy shortly.

Meanwhile, a cold front blew through, so we haven't needed the AC all weekend... but actually needed HEAT this morning! It was down to 48 outside. Less than a week ago, it was 100. Crazy!

My sis got one after coveting my BIL's. I don't know how she uses it with her nails as I was using his and it's a PITA.

Just think, if you sell, it's a feature.

I hate it! We only have a wall AC in the sunroom which we try not to use, and it's freezing in here!

Next to the pumpkin spice pudding, there was a recipe for a Triple-Layer Pumpkin Spice Pie that I think I'll make tonight. I love all things pumpkin. I Hop has pumpkin pancakes now for awhile.


My sis is out of town so I invited my BIL & Reid over for dinner tonight which somehow turned into my picking Reid up from school. No idea how cooking dinner whilst watching a two year old will go!

[sorul82?]

DL Mama,

I just saw on the news that the cupcake industry is booming in CA. I'm glad you are doing your part to stimulate the economy.
