Thanks guys, happy Valentine’s Day to all
Been dragging around since middle of night Friday. Salmon smelled & tasted good, just looked odd...dum, dum, duuuuuuuumb. Guts still in uproar, will be some time before I eat much of anything lol.
Mr asked for dungess crab for dinner, easy-peasy, thawed it out & smiled. Made some brownies & a copy cat lemon loaf (one of the few sweet things youngest will eat). GD coming tonight as no school tomorrow, she put in a request a week ago for chicken & dumplings. Never could understand the appeal of that dish but obliged. Think i’ll Have a P&B sandwich for dinner. That would be a first on Valentine’s Day. Funny what you reach for when stomach is unsettled.
Now much on the agenda for the weekend. I do have a short shift tomorrow at the second job - this momma is still saving for when we can travel again. ( that account will be able to fund a couple of great trips now
) I will be finishing an upcycling project....and hopefully doing a little quilting too. It's a long weekend here - we have a holiday day called " Family day" soooooo I'll enjoy all the moments. Also have some organizing in mind for my one closet as well. Lots of putzing....perfect to do while it's too cold outside to do anything else
That’s very smart IMO. We usually rely on tax refund to finance large portion of trips. Haven’t even bothered to take a stab at filing ours yet & not a single person has asked for my help there. Hope that holds lol.
Many I know have socked away the $ toward a new vehicle or home improvement project. So many working from loving how their work expenses have declined too, any bonus is great right now.
Watching my boy PItbull, start the engines at daytona. That man has his finger stuffed in so many pies, it makes my head spin
DH and I may head to our lake house this afternoon. Today is opening for Sturgeon Spearing season. It's a pretty big deal for some around here. I was at the house on Tuesday, and ice shanties were already placed out on the lake, claiming their spot for today. With all the frigid temps we've been having, the ice is super thick. Folks drive huge trucks with trailers, four wheelers, snow mobiles....
Um, that’s a fish? You sure? Might want to check...I’m just saying. Looks Jurassic to me
That's crazy. I haven't seen any cars that bad, but I have seen several that don't have the snow cleared off the roof. I hate getting behind them.
Wow,
Well response from police was non-commital for sure. “We cannot offer direct guidance and ask you to read the government website”. Yes we have done but it does not give a mileage and does say “you may visit public parkland either paid or non paid entry” - local NorthWest news showed a lady who had driven 9 miles to the coast and been fined. Kev says we will go as very limited entry numbers and such a nice walk round the gardens at Lyme Park even in winter. So that’s Monday weather permitting - we will see!
Lol sounds like you interrupted their coffee break, talk about a lame response.
lol.....yes, the bread was almost like a magic trick......completely disappeared!
No surprise, it looked great
Love the memes
I’ve heard tell that shiba Inus have many personality traits similar to felines
I have heard they are giving the shots to close to the shoulder joint. It should be given in the deltoid. This is a issue with people giving injections without proper training or just poor technique. Not sure if that was your issue.
everyone I know has been shocked how high up on arm, barely 2 fingers or so down from shoulder. First time i’ve Never felt a shot given though, nice
enjoyed my time up at Universal for Mardi Gras. Working on a trip report to share.
Please share link here. Debated on whether to skip SW festival & do U. The booths are a bit adventurous for our palates, crawfish everywhere eeeeeeee.
Like the idea of the socially distanced floats outside vs in the parade building. SW concert set up has me a bit nervous, thinking just too much crowding
It’s called Strawberry Peach Sensation. Looks yummy. Almost to pretty to cut. Will wait for a little while and serve up some cake.
I’ve never seen such a lovely cake in a grocery store, let alone publx
For our Anniversary and Valentines Day Hubby wanted me to look at a new Apple phone while I was up in Orlando and also pick up a Anniversary gift. I did go for a little retail therapy at Mall at Millenia on Tuesday. I liked the Apple 12 pro max so bought that and picked up a gift at Tiffany.
Wow, that’s lovely. How do u like the 12 so far? Don’t know a soul who has it.
Went to the state store (where in my state, the only place where you buy hard liquor at) and oh the amount of people and the large number of bottles in some carts we saw, plus sold out of some of the bottles that were on sale, yep Valentines Day weekend indeed.
Sent mr out to pickup grocery order. He sent me pic Of long one outside our local store. Still stocked from holidays here but, no drinking with the stomach issue anyway this weekend. lol. It will keep
So sorry for your loss. Pancreatic cancer is awful enough.
You know, i’ve Had multiple people share that sentient who had to watch family go thru it. Her heart precluded any sort of surgery to begin with, i’m Convinced she was so far gone it just took her
Thanks-just seems logical? Would much rather lend a hand than see suffering, or suicide. We have the room and finances to be able to do so. Plus-these are GOOD kids. Just do not understand how supposed "parents' can't see that.
So sad; thankfully the parents agreed to situation
Funny story-we were in AR when he was born and has ear issues. Co-workers recommended a good ENT guy. And then giggled. Yes the doctor was superb-and superbly HOT-like GQ cover gorgeous AND nice. like WOW. Husband never did understand why I wanted to be the one to go to all the appointments until he asked around...? I always felt horribly guilty that this kid-son of an RD, never smoker, limited daycare time, 100% breast fed kid was sick so much with ear issues. Doc always reassured me that some kids just have a "kink" in ear canal that may cause an issue.
Funny you mention the hottie ENT. I’ve two here that have been quite easy on the eyes
. Yep, I supposedly did everything ‘right’ too, did smoke for some time but, always went outside to do so.
We also did a thing....going to Cancun for my birthday next month, son's spring break. Oldest is meeting us there (Alysa in Seattle-middle one at UCF has decided to not go-too many projects going on right now). Resort at 25% occupancy currently, offering free covid tests, and free lodging and food if need to quarantine. Prices for getaway through our timeshare exchange company too good to pass up, and snagged a sale on flights. Figure not much different than going to Disney or Universal-especially with physical spacing on fresh open air beaches
Woot! You have your 2nd shot in (check), planning on social distancing (check), great deals (check), you are in good health (check)...enjoy.
We loved the Valentin imperial, south of the fray in Rivera maya
Also have week confirmed for Hawaii in 2022. Our first time-one week on Oahu, still looking for week on Maui (search ongoing for timeshare exchange). Still have the cruise planned for Jan 2022-will see on that one.
Nice! What part of island, it is lovely. Had to cancel thoughts there this year. playing it by ear for next. Their restrictions/quarantine protocols are such a mishmash right now. Figure it will settle into some sort of norm.
I’m just not feeling booking/canceling/rebooking again with cruise next year. Did it twice with
RCCL, had to arm wrestle them to get funds back. Not as bad as WDW APs lol but close. The mr will be retired by then, will have much more flexibility as to dates. Too bad, much less $ lol
Wonderful to have a Mexico trip planned. We were aiming for there next spring to celebrate DS and DIL anniversary as they married there (we have returned a few times) but we have changed to Dubai now - if everything is safe for travel.
Pretty cool you kids want mom & dad along on anniversary trips
.
We do enjoy traveling with ours. Upset that we had to opt out of FL trip the end of month. They are doing U, then onto daytona for gymnastics competition. It’s the same week we get our 2nd shots, no can do. There will be other opportunities. Although we got that side eye re impromptu get awaay so soon afterwards lol
Had local anaesthetic and exam found scratch on retina. Drops and pain relief. Home now and very sleepy but was very brave - told them she couldn’t stop long as we are having pizza delivery for tea!
Oh my. She who smoked on porch, even in the winter, managed to burn her cornea with a hot ash. Hurt like a witch, thank God for numbing drops. Had to war a patch for two weeks till it healed...argh matey.
Happy Valentines Day to all the homies.
Especially since we (all staff) are ALL >2 weeks from 2nd vax shot. 
.....or doughballs as we call them in Scotland.......lush....
