I may need a cup of ice tea. It's another winning sunny warm day. We'll be near 80 again! Sad thought, by Friday, we'll be having a high temp lower than the temp early this morning. Oh well. It's not spring yet.


to all you homies!

And a funny:

so true!

be careful what you wish for, throwback thursday...i'm here

AWOL, trip planning is on now that the mr's lockout is over/contract ratification in place. Just need to dig up the cash to fund my grand ideas hahahaha. He's Still waiting for call back date. Starting to miss him already, cannot wait to be partners in crime when he retires. So relieved to discover we have managed to find a comfortable niche, have gotten along well since August. Learned the secret is to have in our house many: rooms, tvs & electronic devices to allow for 'me' time.

Glorious last few days here, walked miles yesterday at county park enjoying the trails around the lakes there. So nice to see & feel the sun!

Wound up with one of the arwful headaches that I dread last night. Specialist says from my neck issues, family dr thinks a migraine. if that's what one feels like, i can't imagine how people deal with them on regular basis. still headache this morning, just one eye being lazy lol. Somebody told me to try excedrine? Anyone suffer with migranes here with any hints?

if i were hungry it'd be for potato salad at this point. Not big fan of german variety or their food in general, too bland ala most english fare (with exception of curry that seems to be fav there). Go thru lots of sirracha hot sauce here. I only make tater salad a few times a year. No eggs unless i have a carton near expiration. I do enjoy another variety that is made with hot chicken broth. You soak the cooked taters for a bit, then add seasonings, including some vinegar. It's best eaten hot, might have to find that recipe

mac my mom is scotch-irish with english sprinkles. Mixing pot here, but of just a few heritages. A smaller German community. Seems as though most of my mom's peers married eastern europeans, smaller portion hooked up with Italians. Need a score-card to keep track. No interest in geneology on my side, afraid of what I might find lololol, figure most had a good reason to leave the old country. DH's family touts their civil war ties every single time there is a gathering. After they done on a bit too long, I take great delight in reminding them they were on 'the losing' side.

StL - bad enough you're waiting, then the awful news. hang in there

marcie = Roz

mrsbluer - aw, i'm so sorry to hear your mom is ill, so stressful and scary for all.

Lynee - yes, it's weird how wide PA is and the amount of time it takes to traverse it due to crappy road system. We rarely go to northern east coast beach areas since just a few more hours and we can be in myrtle beach. I don't see myself making the drive to Florida again, thanks to low airfare woo hoo.

andy - now i get why all the OT for the trip, it's a big, fat one!!! saw the clips for the villians thing. sounds as tho they 'stole' some of the DL and the older WDW (in castle) halloween ones we did that we really enjoyed as a splurge, gave them a good shake and came up with this offering. Sure a good way to meet the villians and get some face time. looking forward to a review of it.

Nice to see you back Janet..........trip planning commence!!! Yay........my friends think I'm mad that I can spend all day every day with my DH..........he was off for 7 months once and never a cross word.......yep, I miss him when he's at work.....even worse when he has to go away for a few days.........yes extra tv's are a good idea! Can't wait for him to take early retirement......... Hope headache gets better too.........

Bit of a mixed breed here too.........


Just called some travel agents where my mum lives to find out where she can get her Amex TC. We use TC every year with no issues.........accepted everywhere we go and safer than cash. Two of them blatantly lied to me and said they were being discontinued........lie number 1, then they both said nowhere accepts them anyway.....lie number 2. Not the first time I've heard that lie.........

TA's are trying to sell their own pre loaded travel card......not interested in it. So gave them both a piece of my mind and got in touch with a big chain supermarket who do money exchange........yep, no problems......she can pop in and get them from them anytime.

I'm so angry, because she was going to go into both those places tomorrow and I know they would have tried to bamboozle her into the card!!! She's not silly, just wants them bought Asap. I can't buy them for her as she needs to sign them or I would just do that. Hate that they just lie so easily and someone who may not know they're lying will just believe them....... Going to contact both head offices to put in a complaint........might be a waste of time........but will make me feel better!

Rant over.

actually, quite the opposite, cannot stand having leftovers sit in fridge for more than a day or two. If only the rest of my home were quite so organized lol.

while we have our own resident chicken expert here, school is in session:

While eggs are supposedly 'good' to eat for another three to five weeks past the stated expiry date, I

disregard the printed expiration date on the carton. You need to look for the packing code that's printed on it.

Look for a "P" then a number (the plant). It's followed by a space then another number which is the date the eggs were packed using a Julian number. I always look for the latest packed date using that methodology.

no, i am not wearing my tin foil hat.

Carole - that is the shadiest thing i've heard in awhile. Good thing you caught it for your Mom.
