OK I'm done ketchup'ing. Hope everyone has a good day! I am working myself up to brave the cold for basketball and the gym.

I'm almost Ketchup, took some time this AM to make Blueberry muffins from breakfast. I luv my new kitchenaid mixer.

Not weird at all!!! Very smart in fact. I need to do that for our kitchen. We are just re-doing flooring/painting/theme. I already know what color flooring and paint I want but I'm having a terrible time with the theme. I've never been a theme person because I can't seem to pull anything together myself but it can look so gorgeous! I was thinking some thing Tuscan. I also need to figure paint/flooring for our bedroom. We have a framed picture of the 16th hole at Cypress Country Club that we are doing the room around. But colors are killing me!!

Tuscan sounds nice......I bet it will look sooo nice....

WHat colors are you thinking of???

​

I've been naughty this morning ... instead of catching some ZZZs I've been surfing lodging sites as we're planning a little gathering for snow and skiing in the local mountians out here. So - my rest this evening has been broken up and now -I'll roll over and turn back in.

Adios, folks...

​

Have a great ski trip.

Karen,

Do you like the heated floors????????!!!!!!!!!

 

[caitlinsdad]

I don't know about this Harry. We (me, my DH, his brother and wife) are utterly convinced my father in law is not from this world. Gotta love him but he is unique for sure. There is so much mystery surrounding him. No family, very little known about his past. It's like he was dropped from a ship here! We love him anyway!

Some day we are all going to be surprised when the "MotherShip" comes for the special ones

 

[caitlinsdad]

Sounds good! My DH wants to try and get some ski action before the end of the season - not looking possible at the moment...

I went sking only once, I was with some experienced skiers, and when one of them broke their leg, that was it for me. Never again

 

[caitlinsdad]

It just came to me, Abby!!! Our general scrapathy inspired me... I'm on a roll, here...

 

[caitlinsdad]

GOt any good ideas of how I can deorate the four seasons room????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plants from each seasons?

 

[caitlinsdad]

Well time for me to take the stuff to the dump and locate a water dispenser connecting kit.

Karen,

Do you like the heated floors????????!!!!!!!!!

Yes, very much! The conservatory is the room the dogs have to stay in when they're muddy/wet and the underfloor heating dries them out beautifully. I find the heat very controllable and, despite it being a glass-roofed room, it's warm and cozy...

I've never taken to it - the rest of the family love skiing tho'!!!

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Sounds like one for Dilbert.

It does! I bet we could all come up with a ton of stories like these. Too funny! I try my very hardest to NOT be one of these stories. I think I've done a pretty good job so far.

Yum!! OH I am so unbelievably jealous!!!!! I have been wanting a Kitchen Aid mixer for so long but just can't part with the money yet. I'm thinking birthday this year..... What kinds of things do you use it for? (I'd probably be making cookie dough out the wazoo)

Abby,

I use mine for everything. Cakes, cookies, etc.........!!!!!!!!!!!

WHat colors are you thinking of???

We have light honey oak cabinets so I'm thinking floor to match and a butter yellow for the walls. Our appliances are white. The guy who had this house before us put light blue carpet, light blue walls and light blue counters in this kitchen. I have no clue why anyone puts carpet in kitchens!! We can't get rid of it until the dog is gone because he can't walk on flooring. He falls alot on our entry floor. And the carpet looks terrible. No amount of cleaning ever makes it look good. And when the carpet is gone I want the countertops to be replaced too. (DH doesn't know this yet. )

I read something somewhere once that suggested celebrities, famous athletes, and high profile, powerful people were aliens. Quite amusing to think of!

That would turn me off from it too. I went once with some friends and the bunny hill terrified me. So never again. I'll tube but never again ski. I'm just not that coordinated. My DH used to go glacier skiing in Europe.

Abby,

I WILL get one this year! Can't wait!

That is the color of my walls in my family room. It is soo nice. I can take a picture of it sometime for you. We have white applainces too and they get so dirty from "little" fingers........!!!!!!!
