October 19th Cruisers again and again... Part 2

[jiminyC_fan]

Lots of chatter.....just like I like it!

Sally, I feel so bad for you and Dick. He is in our thoughts and prayers. If you need someone to talk to just pick up the phone. Hugs! You must be way to tired to email me today. Miss the sunshine you bring to me in the morning!

Denine, I am so wishing for snow. Every time you talk about a snowstorm, I get jealous. I love to sit and watch it snow! Sorry about your scratchy throat. Keep taking your airborne!

Heidi, I think if Chris would go on oxygen or be treated in some way then he wouldn't be so tired during the day and night. But, I can attest to the fact that that man can sure snore! He falls asleep while we watch reality shows and we all just laugh and turn up the tv.

Barb, hang in there. The training is almost over and then the weekend will be here. Any good plans? We are going to Beauty and the Beast on Sunday March 5th. It will be like a 31st anniversary party for Ted and I. Our anniversary is March 8th.

Jerry is outside shoveling and Kaleigh is playing in the snow. We have close to a foot of snow and it is still coming. No one even said anything about snow today other than maybe flurries.

Got some recommendations for a nice red wine for Valentine's Day and bought a bottle that was recommended. It was $23 which is more than we spend so I hope it is good.

Barb: I am sure we could chip in and call you some of the names you usually get called, but I think the censors would catch it!!

Sandy: You are quite welcome to our snow. It was a pretty snow if you didn't have to go anywhere, but we had to go to BJ's.

Jerry won't let me help shovel the snow, so here I am. I do hear Kaleigh squealing outside though.

I am so jealous of Denine's snow, I want DENVER (not just the mountains) to have a huge blizzard again!!!!!! I know Denine doesn't want it, so I wish it would move on over here....I love snow and I don't mind getting out in it.

Mom - are you going to Target today?

I told Chris that his Valentines would be me taking him out to Johny Carinos and his gift to me would be to come up with a meal, cook it, and then do the dishes!!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Still snowing, Denine?

Heidi, I don't know if I am going to Target. Why? I have a major post office run and hope to get to Sam's as well. Oh wait. I bet you want me to check on Build a Bear clothes. If I get time, ok?

Good morning, Sally. Hope you slept in!

My Valentines? I am hoping for Texas Roadhouse because I have a coupon for a free onion blossom. On the diet?...yes, a few!!!!!

Good Morning

Ahhhhhh my Friday. The way today started out I am ready for the weekend. My smoothie maker is in the trash. I'm done playing. The little track that the blade twists in is worn so if you don't hold the pitcher thingy down tight when it is on it pops out. Well today I held it tight but when I picked it up it popped open and wala smootie ALL OVER THE PLACE. I picked up the entire thing and dumped it in the trash! Tonight I am going after another one. Think I will try a Kitchen Aid this time. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Busy weekend. Friday I have to clean, go to Curves and run some errands. Saturday we are having a Birthday party for Amanda, Sunday is church then I am having a luncheon for to try and get some decisions made about the decorations for the wedding then having a Valentines party for my Missionettes. Bob leave next week for 3 months

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Sorry to hear about the smoothie maker but more sorry to hear about Bob leaving for three months.

Jeanne, check you email. I sent you one.

 

[Denine]

It stopped snowing and is sunny today. I hope that is it for a while.

Tonight going to Jerry's mom's to celebrate Jerry and Scott's birthdays. SHe is having dinner.

I work tomorrow and Saturday.

Jerry is coming home to work the rest of the day at home so I can get some sleep. Kaleigh woke me at 6:45. My throat is still bugging me and I don't know what it is going to turn into. It could turn into a sinus infection, bronchitis or a cold. I don't think I am lucky enough for it to just go away. I did take my airborne, but I can't take it often. It is not kind to my tummy.

Barb: Sorry to hear Bob will be gone for 3 months again and that your smoothy maker went kaput.

I forgot to mention that I lost 1 pound this week. Now I am only up 3 pounds from my lowest point.

My Valentine to Jerry is the wine and cheese party. I don't know what his to me will be.

 

[Denine]

Julie: I forgot to ask you how you liked the Yellow Tail cabernet?

 

[Mickey02]

Denine- I am having a luncheon on Sunday and need your help with a menu. I am not much of a cook. Any ideas? I was thinking some kind of sandwhich, fruit salad (do you have any good recipe's)

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Barb - I am sorry that Bob will be leaving for 3 months, that makes it tough on you I imagine. Give him a big hug before he goes. What brand of smoothie maker do you have? I have a Back to Basics and I love it!!!!!

Denine - I hope you feel better. That is nice of Jerry to come home to help you out.

 

[Mickey02]

Heidi- You know I am not sure what brand it is I am calling it *&%#** right now.

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

Back from Curves.......went shopping and got Dick 2 pr of his favorite jeans for Valentine Day. ....what he has done for me in the past is take me to Country Buffet for their free meal for people married over 50 years He thinks it is so funny like taking me to Sams on Saturday for lunch...samples of course. But you have to love him with his sense of humor....Patti and Barb inherited it from him...both are quick with the humor

Sandy, I did sleep pretty good last night...thanks

Barb, I would go to Walmart and get their chicken salad from the deli, make sandwiches unless you want to make hot chicken sandwiches that I have a recipe for that was my sisters....really good

Heidi- You know I am not sure what brand it is I am calling it *&%#** right now.

Heidi- You know I am not sure what brand it is I am calling it *&%#** right now.

Your menu is perfect for a lunch. For a family favorite fruit salad all I do is drain some fruit cocktail, maybe add a can of pineapple tidbits and/or mandarin oranges, cut up some apples and bananas, maybe some mini marshmallows and mix with cool whip. Easy and everyone loves it. You could add coconut, too. Why not to make it easy just have deli meat and cheese.

Sally, I slept good too. I ended up with tylenol pm again. I just don't want to keep taking it but I do want to sleep.

 

[Mickey02]

Thank you everyone for the recipe's. I am soooo not a cook

Mom- Are you coming on Sunday?

Heehee Yes we are "Daddy's girls" Gotta love us!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Heidi and Stacey (the lurker), I just tried making a different recipe of Snickerdoodles and they STILL didn't come out the old way. Anyone have any ideas? They used to come out soft, chewy and puffy and now they come out flat.

Did someone say snickerdoodles? That is only my most FAVORITE cookie of all time!!! Could it be the margarine?

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I thought it was the margarine so I looked for one that had less water. I thought that perhaps it was the Cream of tartar so I changed that. What's left?

Speaking of recipes, I have a pork tenderloin that needs to be cooked. Any good recipes for one?

Pictures from the weekend:

First picture was taken at my house, second picture was taken at Stacey's house.

 

[Mickey02]

Very cute pictures Sandy!!!

Not sure if this will help or not but my Grandma made the best cookies ever. I asked her once what she did because they were soft and fluffy. She told me she always did half butter and half shortening. All butter flattens cookies and all shortening makes them hard. Could be common knowledge to most people but to me it was liking getting one of Grandma's secrets
