[schumigirl]

about to go to bed now..

Always mac......

And it smells delicious right now......

Tom is doing the cooking which is lovely......

Oh forgot to say......sleep well.........zzzzzzzzzzz

Bacon? Always enjoy it too. None left from this weekend, but I am sure a grocery run in the next couple of days, will include a package of bacon.

Maybe because it’s 16F out, and anything wet is a very frozen ice, that the normal traffic I usually hear is much quieter. But the salt trucks and plows do a great job of keeping the roads clear. So it’s just because it’s a Monday. Ugh.

Last night, heard the plow go by and quickly shoveled the blockage it did as went by our driveway. Ack, it was somewhat packing wet snow. Not good to build a snowman, but was a workout to lift those heavy feeling shovels.

Congratulations to Pumpkin. I hope you get the job you want. And very glad you were able to see the grandkid. Yep, time does go fast, as seems like the other day you were excited for the birth. Ack, I think my 16F is cool feeling. Would hate to have your feeling temps. That is cold.

Quite the snow storm Schumi and Julie are having. Yeah, Sunday gave us 6 more inches of snow, and even with our below freezing temps today, snow shower chance to give us another inch or so. Sigh. Our cars have 4 wheel drive, and with all season tires, we are good in the snow. Hope Louie at least got a garden walk, and Schumi had a nice talk with her mum.
And no Schumi, it’s okay if don’t watch that dog show. Some of enjoy watching it. Not for everyone.

That ever happy to drink tea has been ready in that unholy wee hours, but am enjoying my cups of tea.

Have a Most Marvelous Monday homies. And a hearty Good Morning too.

What dog show??




Back in from the blizzard.......picked up a new kettle, stopped into farmshop, just the local one and picked up some veg, and popped into the farm to check their new fence is ok......it`s fine and they`re happy with it.

Not so sure about the kettle......boiled it 4 times as we always do before we use it....still has a metallic smell off of it.......think it`ll go back if it doesn`t dissipate. Tom thinks we have bought this one before and took it back for the same reason......whoops....I forgot. Plenty of other ones around to choose from.

Not long till lunchtime for us.......warming winter soup, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, red peppers, carrots, leeks and lots of little spices and herbs all blended smooth. Got a lovely cheese topped bread from our village bakery too.

Sun is shining right now, but more snow is forecast this afternoon......

Oh it’s called the Puppy Bowl, Schumi. Broadcast by the cable channel Animal Planet every Super Bowl Sunday afternoon for quite a few years now. Cute show that lets the dogs play American football on their own small field with dog toys as the footballs.

And so, time to find some breakfast. Thinking oatmeal as cool feeling. Looked outside, seems blacktop looks clear and traffic sound normal now. Thinking kids may go out around lunchtime. As long as you stay away from edges, roads are clear.

And Ack! Morning weather report as given by weather lady I was listening to. Very sunny day, with that snow showers arriving tomorrow, which should give us one to two inches of snow. Then just a cloudy Wednesday with another snow storm coming on Thursday, that right now will be a big snow producer, as we will get more info as closer to Thursday will know better what the totals will be. Then the Arctic air arrives to make the weekend just that much colder.

Winter and snow. Done with it. Sigh. Getting to be a very snowy February. Have to have that glass half full. Spring arrives March 20th this year. 39 days and will be Spring. Now that is something to look forward to, not that not wonderful snow storm coming on Thursday.

Weather report vent coverage complete. Time for more tea and warm oatmeal.

Oh I see, I thought I`d missed you asking me about a show.

No, not something for me. I love seeing folks cute doggie pictures, but dogs playing football........no.



Time for lunch......and snow is back on.......it is freezing though.

 

[Charade67]

I’m at work and can’t do anything. It looks like the computer had some sort of update and now needs to be set up again. It is asking for my boss’ Microsoft ID and password. It won’t let me continue without that information. I texted my boss, but she has not responded yet.

Pumpkin - Congrats on completing your degree and the great GPA. Good luck with the job search.

I’m going to try to find something to keep me busy.

 

[macraven]

Lynne you beat me on the weather now I no longer live in the north
We have 39 degrees presently but that changes in a couple of hours to 55
Later this week temps will be better.

Snow.... no white stuff for us
But I do have memories of cold nights and days and hours of shoveling from living in the North.

Bet you you have a nice spring!

schumi, what happened to the bacon?
I don’t see even a crumb left for me...

charade, enjoy your long break while you wait for the ID and password!

 

[schumigirl]

schumi, what happened to the bacon?
I don’t see even a crumb left for me...

We got hungry.





Not much snow around this afternoon......but boy is it baltic out there......

Have the 80`s channel on today......loving the music, and yes, 1981 was 40 years ago.......how did that happen!

 

[Lynne G]

Charade back in business on the computer yet? Yeah, all well and fine until you can’t use the devices.

Getting ready for lunch. Not sure what all want. May do soup again, though no Chinese leftovers.

 

[J'aime Paris]

Making a quick stop in!

I have been reading along, seen many posts with peeps sick with covid. I hope that everyone is starting to come around and feel better. It is not something to play around with.

Life has and is still busy. I finished my classes and am waiting for my parchment. I completed my classes with a 3.93 GPA. I have applied to a couple of jobs, hoping to get my foot in the door, and hopefully work my way up to get the job I really want. Hospital ( unit/department) administrator, is what I am aiming for. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I am busy finishing up a blanket for the Granddaughter. She turned 1 a couple of weeks ago. We missed her birthday, as we have restrictions, and I was writing my finals. We did go visit last weekend, and it was wonderful. We didn't go anywhere else, but to their home, and into gas stations to use the bathrooms on our drive. It was a very much needed break away from everything around here.

Winter has finally arrived here. We were VERY spoiled and had extremely warm temps. It is currently -40F and -56F with the windchill. I always question why in this lifetime I chose to come back to this climate, I am NOT made for these temps. I haven't been outside all weekend. I have been hibernating inside. I organized a few closets, worked on the gd's blanket, and have almost completed another upcycling piece to sell later this week.

Well, it is late and I should head to bed. Hopefully only working half a day tomorrow with this cold. Just go in. do what I really need to do then come back home again.

Hopefully I will be able to check in again soon.

First, Brrrrrr!!!!! And I thought we were cold in Wisconisn
Secondly, hip-hip-hooray!! Congrats on your accomplishment!

My friend has a Taylor and a Bailey......the amount of times we have enjoyed parties at her home and the dogs end up being called Bailor and Tayley by the end of the night.......lol.....gorgeous dogs........

Yes, he`ll enjoy a week of the old brain chilling out....although he`s starting a new thing on his own time as a further qualification, I doubt he need another one, but he wants to do it, so I doubt he`ll completely switch off......when I worked all those milleniums ago, if I had time off....I was off!

Never watched that show. Is it good?

Have a wonderful and very happy Monday.........​

A friend recommended it to me. It's about playing chess. I like to play chess, so I thought why not? It's about a whole lot more than just chess.....I actually do like it so far!

We have the snow too this morning @schumigirl - still falling heavily. Roads appear cleared so that’s good as Em has to pick L up shortly - otherwise Kev could take her in ours but she says she will be ok. She has my Golf now.

Other than collecting J from school later no need to go out today.

If the snow stays heavy Louie won’t walk far because he gathers too many snowballs on his legs and undercarriage. But he will happily have a few playtimes in the garden.

Going to make cottage pie for tea (two actually as minced beef was an offer at the farm so got double amount) so need tons of potatoes peeling and Kev will do those.

All bacon eaten so porridge for breakfast today.

Cottage pie sounds yummy and the fish meme is hilarious!!!


I made a stop at Target today....bought what was actually on my list and then a bunch of other stuff too....funny how that always seems to happen!?!
Worked out at the gym.
Reheating some chicken for lunch.
Will do some vacuuming, run the dishwasher and gather up DHs work shirts for the dry cleaners.
Kinda ordinary Monday....

 

[Lynne G]

Hehe, Paris, I think that is my face every Monday and when I get snow forecasts. LoL

Lori, I only learned to play chess a short while ago, Kyle taught me. Him and Tom have played since he was very young......I never quite got it.......but, Kyle is a good teacher.....I have to say though he also taught me Texas Hold em.....and I picked that up a lot quicker.......

Yep, it`s always the same......go in for one thing and come out spending a fortune......lol......



Only hailstones coming down now......not quite sure what to expect as forecast was heavier snow again...but, it is going to freeze over.

 

[keishashadow]

Red Robin riff’d teriyaki burger for me for dinner. Mr will get regular sort. The steak fries will go into air fryer. Glad I have their leftover takeout seasoning.

mr hit on football pool, I got a tip this am when he got home from work. Into my secret change purse it goes...I’m turning into my gramma. Least I don’t stuff it in my bra

Knew if I booked pop yesterday, the Hotwire deals would pop up today lol Bingo! Staying at Coronado. First time. Now, to pick a building to request via touring guides room finder. Anyone have any suggestions?

Tom is doing the cooking which is lovely......

Something to treasure

lol......love the secret purse! And nice win......never had a teriyaki burger.....

Coronado Springs always looks very pretty.....no idea about it though.

Oh yes, Tom is definitely a keeper.........

 

[Lynne G]

No sorry, never wanted or stayed at Coronado. Score though. Love that secret purse. Eh, we are having sirloin burgers with air fried onion rings.

Ah with the bad weather, the deer came close to my sister’s house. This is when they stopped eating the bush next to her house when she hollered at them:

 

[schumigirl]

Lot of burgers going on for dinner tonight......

Cute deer Lynne.......


Almost bedtime.........light snow falling, but doesn`t look too bad. Supposed to be worse over next two days.

mac.....will save some bacon tomorrow........

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Look at that...two days in a row!!!

Still bitter cold and gross. Foul language came out of my mouth the moment I stepped outside to get to work, until I was sitting at my desk with the heater on warming up my
fingers and toes



Seen a few of these on my way to work today lol.

Species sighting Alert!!!! Northern Electric Snake (Electriceae Blockus Heaterii) : This rare species only emerges in the coldest of temperatures and is often seen in driveways, parking lots, and intersections.
That is my funny for today I don't know how you would forget that your vehicle is plugged in when it is this freaking cold out!!!! But then again, I did this a couple of weeks ago when DH plugged in my car, and didn't tell me and I was not parked where I normally park and didn't walk to the front of the car. I had checked the tires to make sure I didn't have a flat, hopped in and drove off lol. Opps

Have a great Monday everyone!!!!

 

[macraven]

Pinky swear about that bacon Schumi? .......

 

[Lynne G]

Haha, Pumpkin. Yeah, my friend that used to live in Alaska had to keep her car plugged in. She lived there for years, then got a transfer to Hawaii, where she is still there after retiring three years ago. Smart lady. LoL

Was the only time I ate salmon. I had to go to Alaska for work, and met up her, as we both were coworkers. We fished for silver salmon in the river that went right through the town. Little shack that was literally in the middle of the woods, would cook the filets they made for you from the fish you brought. Was the only time I had a filet that had a very faint fish taste. Was one of the best meals I have had. Was sent there in the middle of August. Weird to have had light for most of the 24 hours. Spent time in Anchorage and Kodiak Island.

No have to keep car warm here, but have to tell ya until seat heater starts to warm up, hate a cold feeling car.

Joy, by the time I wake up, will be snowing again. 2 to 3 inches before this fast moving wet snow maker leaves. Saying depending on how fast, may have a partly sunny late afternoon. Mind you, will still not feel warm. High tomorrow is 37F.

Was a beautiful sunset. Still the clear sky, so nice to see the bright moon and stars tonight. Yeah and 21F right now. To dip in the teens overnight. Winter. Not a fan.

Burgers were delicious. Added chopped orange peppers, a tomato slice and a cheese slice. Yum. Air fried onion rings, crunchy good. Sipping on a cup of hot coffee. That kinda night.

Hope all the homies have a good night sleep.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh so dark out now that the clouds have come bearing snow to share. Very quick snow dump then partly sunny or mostly cloudy rest of day. And even a bit warmer, as 25F out.



Ah, that Taco Tuesday is here. Since Mac will not see any snow, get your orders in, a Taco Bell run will be her dinner.

And so a happily said Good Morning homies.

Welcome to chat. Yeah, for some of us, the news is cold and snowing. But you won’t see me saying snow yay! Hope this finds all having a happier day.

Robo, I hope you are feeling good, and enjoying more of that Southern sun. HHN mug full of coffee too.

Off to refill that oh so enjoyed tea that has left my cup.
