OOH, you definitely need a vacation, Keisha. Hope your dental visit fixes all, and you are feeling better soon, including your footsies. HeHe, bladder issues. I always seem to get a chuckle from most the ads I see. Hey, I won't be cooking on Valentine's Day either. I have standards, too! LOL
Keisha- Yikes on the dental and foot issues! Hope you can get by w/o the root canalIs Valentine's Day also your anniversary?
Hey- takeout works for me, too!!
No cooking all the way around on Valentine's Day!
Speaking of teeth, I have a raspberry seed in one of mine I can't get out and it's bugging me! You know, things like that don't happen when I eat a donut!
Hope Tuesday is going well for everyone!
Lynne, yep we’ve to have the cold return later this week too........enjoy your tacos.....
Patty....raspberry seeds are a nightmare! But donuts.......mmmmmmm.......
Keisha......yep, I’m getting the bladder sling and other weird ads........good luck today with the foot people......and pulpy teeth!! That’s a new one......yep it gets tiring all this dental stuff......
Good day today.......and it’s chucking it down with rain. Started around 2.30 and hasn’t stopped......got back home around 4.30 and decided to make macaroni cheese and chicken casserole......not really a casserole but lush.....I usually use a mixture of four cheeses, but only had two.......no one noticed the difference.......very filling though.....
Nice Chardonnay for tonight I think........I give up on dieting forever![]()
Hi everyone I have had 3emergencies in the last week. I am very stressed and exhausted. It looks like two of them will be okay with treatments but we lost one of them unexpectedly yesterday. He was doing better for a couple of days than took a turn. He was only 8 and died from heart failure. It is hard when these things happen so fast and you can't do anything to stop it. Liv has a hard time with death in general so it is that much harder to go through. Today is a bit of a better day, just still blah! The one thing that felt good is that are temps have warmed up. I really enjoy stepping outside with the sun shining and the warmth.
Left over vodka scallop sauce for dinner tonight. One teen working the other home!
I tried to read through and catch up as much as I could and I am sorry if I miss anybody.
Lynne I wanted to wish you a belated Happy Anniversary. I hope you had a nice day. I hope you and DD have a great time at the zoo if you go this weekend.
Keishashadow sorry to hear about your crown and bridge, There are a couple of doctors I hate going to and one is the dentist. I hope that your foot gets better on it's own so you don't need surgery. I totally understand wanting to avoid that. I hope you find good air fare for your trip. I haven't priced out this year because we are driving.
Mac Sending you positive and good thoughts. If you need anything just ask!!
Schumi The car service sounds like a great idea. I hope you are happy with the new service. I couldn't think of driving 4 hours after a long night flight. Sorry your weather has been cold on and off, I hope you get some relief. Your delicious dinner choices always make me hungry
Patty I hear you on the weather roller coaster it is awful! I hope you get the seed out of your tooth. Having something in there can just keep you focused on it. It is so annoying. Hope the
are being good lap warmers in the cold!
Charade Sorry B didn't get a part in the musical. It sounds like she is taking it well. I am glad your weather is improving. Oh a Marvel marathon sounds great! We didn't do a super bowl party or go to one either wasn't in the mood this year. The only reason I knew who won was my Dunkin Donuts app told me I had a $1.00 medium coffee because the Patriots won. Hope your feeling better.
buckeev The plans sound awesome for your wife. I hope everything goes great and you have a wonderful time. You can never have too many trips.
Sue Chili and cornbread sounds good. I usually just have tortilias but will try that some time. I am glad you are happy with your rate for RPR. I have not been in May but it sounds like a nice time of year. I have cats that watch the snow come down and get all excited. Well one got out one time and put his paw in the snow and ran right back inI hope your weather warms up.
Robo Thanks for the memes they make me smile. I hope you are feeling good and getting ready for your next trip
to anybody I missed and hope everyone is safe, warm and well. have a great day!!
Bobbie.........sorry about your cat. Hope Liv is ok.......
Patty yes dieting is over rated.........some people just aren’t meant to be slim!!
Lynne,....enjoy those tacos......never quite got the taste for them.....not a Mexican food fan......but donlove nachos without the beans.......yuk.......
All our grocery stores offer home delivery, some better than others.......pop online, choose your items and pick your delivery time........we use it now and again when the weather is bad or we just can’t be bothered.......only thing I don’t like is the fresh veg sometimes.....they aren’t as fussy as I am despite leaving instructions for chunky carrots or similar.......but overall it works out fine for us........
Plan to spend the day at the Mall tomorrow.....or maybe take the train into the City, only takes 2 hours......not sure yet. Depends on the weather......still need an outfit for my nephews wedding in March.
And can’t believe it’s 4 weeks on Friday till we’re at our usual overnight hotel before we fly.......it’ll be here before we know it........
An hour or so till bedtime here.........
Ta, ta, ta, dah...it’s back

Seriously, we gals have to have our standards.
Yes, I picked the date as my mr is horrible with remember most ‘special’ occasions.
Oh, yes, raspberry & sesame seeds are killers
Don’t lol don’t think i’ve Ever tasted that vintage.
Oh Bobbie, only eight? That is so young for a kittie, so sorry for you & family.
Surprised dentist called me a few hours ago to see how I was doing. I said fine, he sounded quite surprised lol
Podiatrist not thrilled with me turning down the feet surgery, for now. Did another round of steroid shots today, will do two more in upcoming months. I did feel more relief from one last month than I had in the past, hopefully this will do the trick
Will say this podiatrist is a beast giving the shots. First time I’ve felt my stomach start to do bit of a flip. Now I know why he makes you recline unlike his wife. Note to self, rebook next month’s appoint with her!
I had nachos with left over chili and any/all likely suspects i could rustle up in the refrigerator. Made a meat loaf for tomorrow. Will plop a roast in crock pot in am for DH before I head up to jr’s to wait for plumber - whee.
Keishashadow loved Crazy Rich Asians! The tv show you’re thinking of is Fresh off The Boat.
Lynne, I’ve heard of these Tastykake from my NJ friends! So one of them bought me some when our WDW trips coincided!
Pattyw yay for 10 day countdown! Seems like our weather is reversed. We got a dusting of snow and daytime temps were 0c, going down to -5ish during night. I must try instacart someday. It would cut down on my spur of the moment buying, lol. I always come out of the store with more than what I planned. Maybe that’s why the husband usually does the shopping!
Mac hope things get sorted out.
Schumi we have Nandos here too. I tried it when they first opened, wasn’t impressed. Haven’t been back. We have pretty good fish & chips being on the west coast. My fav is halibut. Haven’t had in a long time! Now I’m craving! Lol.
Love your aunts acid cartoon, I’m guilty of when holding a door for someone at a store and they sail thru without a thank you of saying- You’re Welcome! I hate that!
If we have a late night arrival coming home and we’re flying into Seattle, a 3 hr drive, I book a room for the night. No car service available because they’d have to cross the border.
Mac & Cheese sounds delish.
Keishashadow haha, Bladder slings! That banner is so annoying! Oh geez dental and podiatry. Hope everything works out.
Great offer to upgrade from Sports to CSR. I’ve never stayed at sports, has to be the least appealing hotel for me at wdw. Wouldn’t have to ask me twice, lol. Maybe they’re overbooked at AS Sports. The WDW prices are the highest I’ve ever seen for August. So I’m going to Universal for April/May and possibly DL for August British Columbia day/week. My older daughter gets 2 weeks off starting on BC Day and she wants to go somewhere since she’s missing the Universal trip.
bobbie I’m so sorry about your cat. It’s heartbreaking. Never gets easier. We’ve had to say goodbye to 4 dogs and 2 cats. It’s awful.
Schumi yay for 4 week count down. I think in April I’ll start my countdown!
Miss one day and am behind! Tues night here. Yesterday did a whole lotta nothing, hiding from the cold. Well below seasonal norms. I saw a humming bird in the yard Sunday and felt so sorry for it, so dug out my feeder and filled it up. Have to take it in at night so it doesn’t freeze. The bird has been coming around.
Today I did my morning volunteering in the church office until we can hire another secretary. First, office key wasn’t where it should be. Whoever was there yesterday forgot to put it where it goes. I finally get the key after phoning someone else to come bring me one. I get into the office, and computer isn’t working.After a few minutes of fooling around with it, I discovered someone switched off the mouse. Who does that!! Sheesh.
Then had lunch date with a few work friends. It was very nice getting together. We’re all retired.
Thursday going to a movie matinee with friends to see The Upside. Last week we saw The Favourite, I didn’t like it. Usually I like historical movies, but this wasn’t what I thought it would be!
I want to see The Green Book too. I have a group of friends I usually go to movies with. Have done for years. It started when we had babies, and cheap Tuesdays was our girls night out, and husbands turn to watch the babies. Now the “babies” are all adults but we’re still going to the movies if there’s something out we want to see.
Friday is haircut day, yay.
Left over beef stew was dinner tonight. I love the Instant Pot. Usually stew takes all day in slow cooker. But only 30 min cooking time in the Instant Pot. Love that you can brown the meat in the pot too.
I think in April I’ll start my countdown!
Supposed to be a nice day and we are to have 9c which is around 50F and sunny.....London is slightly warmer but some rain around.........hmmmmm. Think we’ll go with the Mall.....least it’s inside.
With that, what a few degrees do. Foggy windows, may be icy out, and just about freezing start.

Just realised it’s Wednesday knowing you’re over at your boys today waiting for plumber!! Thought it was Thursday.....???
Ouch on the shots!!! Think I told you I was lucky as my friend who passed husband is also a surgeon and he totally numbed my foot before he gave me the shot...didn’t feel a thing both times......some podiatrists don’t numb the foot....can’t imagine that pain!!!
We are quite unusual as I have the most romantic husband all year round......but we now ignore Valentines Day.....Tom brings me flowers every week and has done most of our married life......he brings me little gifts, we go out for dinner.......so we deliberately avoid the overhyped nonsense that is Valentines Day........of course an anniversary on that date is entirely different........
Countdowns are always nice Sue!! Yep, yours will be here before you know it........
I think I’m the only person on the planet that gave her instant pot away........I prefer my slow cooker and have three of them.....all the same one but different sizes.....I love putting stuff in at night and letting it cook all night.....perfect......
Yes if we arrived late night we’d stay over too.....but it’s ideal having a night flight and just getting home......some folks hate the night flight, it’s not brilliant but we deal with it........but using a car service sounds perfect for us....and saves Tom worrying about leaving “his new baby” in the hotel car park for two weeks in May too as we’ll have the new one by then hopefully........so thought we’d just book it in March too.
Yes rude people annoy me.....doesn’t take much to just say thank you.......I always remember one time in Knockturn Alley too a woman just suddenly asked me how the heck you got out of here.......I told her where the exits were, with a smile and she just turned and walked away......not a thank you or anything........so I did yell You’re welcome!!! Rude. Some folks seem to feel entitled to be rude....
Hope your weather is a little bit warmer soon......
So, looks to be a nice enough day......still haven’t decided whether to go to the Mall an hour or so away or head into the City.......looks to be a nice day and London is always nice, but we’ll see.....will decide after breakfast. Trains are regular and only take 2 hours. Can still spend a decent amount of time shopping. Nice to have options......
Once DS leaves for work we’ll have breakfast.......I’m starving this morning.......think it’ll be bacon sandwiches......although farmer droppped off some eggs yesterday so Tom might have poached eggs.....we’ll see.....
Supposed to be a nice day and we are to have 9c which is around 50F and sunny.....London is slightly warmer but some rain around.........hmmmmm. Think we’ll go with the Mall.....least it’s inside.
Have a great Wednesday...........
Won't be long!
Happy shopping!
We can't get off this roller coaster here! Now the temps are dropping and freezing rain is moving in! Tomorrow back to 50 degrees and rain! Yay for DD wearing shorts!! Spring is coming!!
Have a great Wednesday, hump day all!!

Kept me up most of the night with a fitfull sleep
will go nice with shoes I’ve bought and the fascinator I bought
.I gather Patty and Lynne are still in the cold but sunny
Ooooo I love Thomas’s English muffins! It’s one of my must have food when we go to Florida. Pre Orlando we always (99% of the time) fly into Lauderdale first and have a unit with kitchen at the beach. First stop is Publix for all my fav food I can only get in the US! Thomas is on the list!Sorry to hear that! Hope tonight you sleep better! Have a stiff drink!
I think I've seen Bimbo bread in our stores! I looked it up and their brands include Entenmann's, Sara Lee, & Thomas'.
From their website:
Bimbo Bakeries USA has some of America’s favorite bread and sweet baked goods brands. At BBU, we have a desire to innovate new and exciting products to delight our consumers.
I feel bad-I had to google fascinator- I had no idea what it was! But I learned something!Your dress sounds lovely!
Yep- but a little above freezing which is a plus
Hi Sue
Back to work! Have a great afternoon all!!![]()
I guess noodles and pasta I use interchangeably. With red sauce I guess pasta, and noodles if with butter or Asian. Was bow tie pasta was fresh parmigiana and a steak, as little one wanted meat, and I did not make meatballs. Red sauce for some. Full I am.
Rain, but at least close to 40 overnight.
Have a good night all.
Ohhh...That Train option for The Grand Canyon looks very tempting...
Going to Vegas late March...So GC-if we go-Would a couple of days prior to, or after The Donny and Marie Droolfest...
