How fun!!!!I just booked another Disney vacation. We haven't mentioned this to B yet. I'm thinking of surprising her at Christmas. Just haven't figured out what to do yet.
That sounds like a lovely spot!!! I love little corners like that!!!! I have a small home with no corners to decorate like that. Maybe some dayLove the Harry Potter room!! We opened up the area under our stairs and it`s a little sitting area, well, it has two little chairs and a lamp. It was closed off when we moved in, they used it for vacuums and things like that, but we use a cupboard in the laundry room for those things, it looks much prettier this way. But, extra storage is always ideal. You`ll be so glad to see it all finished.
I put my capris away finally, and pulled out my long pants this morning. I put on my first pair of socks and wore shoes - instead of cute little kicks. My feet were screaming as I slid the socks on this morning. It's cool here now, with us only getting into the high single digits the past couple of weeks. It's only going to get to 48F here for the next couple of weeks. Hopefully that S-word stays away for a bit yet. It's always great when kids don't have to bundle up in snowsuits to go trick or treating.But a repeat of a day is our weather this Wednesday. Cloudy day, with mid 70’s the high. Did put shorts on, but house feels a bit cool, so throw over my legs.
That sounds AMAZING!!!! Enjoy your time there!!!!I have a 90 minute massage booked for this afternoon and I am excited!!!!!!
I'll get there early, to sit in the salt room for a bit. And after, I'll hang out in the eucalyptus shower until I just about doze off.
I hope to leave the spa feeling like jelly!!
WOW That was quite a bit of situations to deal with in one day! I hope you heal fast...and get things sorted with your car.derm appt stretched on yesterday, wound up with 3 dings on my face. Taking great care to keep them doused in ointment & bandages to avoid dreaded scar. Have been lucky there, the expected lack of pigment issues typically fade within a year or two if I keep the sunblock applied
set up for procedure early November that requires stitches etc. mandatory at practice to use their outpatient surgical center. Glad we have great health insurance lol
spent remainder of day at body garage. Had a gentle reminder from that insurer to handle the repairs from when the idiot backed into me at WM parking lot end of July
I had gone back & forth on doing repairs. Car had subsequently passed state inspection. Thot it just needed scrapes rubbed out
nope, there’s a cracked bumper & grill. The front panelIs questionable ? they have suspicions something going on they won’t be able to verify until they rip it apart. Again, glad we have full insurance
seriously, they feel like they are suffocating after free-ranging all summer.My feet were screaming as I slid the socks on this morning.
Always seems like things go in cycles here, including medical appointments, almost there crossing off the backed up to-do list. Good thing U sent me an email it was last call to renew my AP or I’d have forgottenWOW That was quite a bit of situations to deal with in one day! I hope you heal fast...and get things sorted with your car.
lol keeps my blood flowing. Now I’m hungry for spaghetti & meatballs. Pickings are decidedly slim here. mr working a double, thus far today I’ve eaten a package of ramen noodles i found in back of cupboard & the rest of a cucumber from salad the other day with cheese/ham/couple of crackers.Never a dull moment in your home.

I must be odd. I still wear socks in the summer. I need to have something between my feet and the shoes. I mostly wear no shows.I put on my first pair of socks and wore shoes - instead of cute little kicks. My feet were screaming as I slid the socks on this morning.
Sounds really good. I have some meatballs in the freezer that I should do something with.Haven’t had this in awhile, but made my own meatballs and cooked them with my made red sauce, with spaghetti noodles and fresh grated parmigiana cheese. Full I am. Was perfect as house felt a bit cool, but kitchen heated up nicely.
B's dance studio has a spirit week each year where there are themed dress up days. Several years ago one of the themes was outer space. I dressed her up like a Star Trek red shirt. She had no clue.Charade - lol, never want to be a red shirt on ST
I have the ability to "sleep in" and really enjoy the darker mornings. But I understand it stinks when a person barely sees daylight due to work schedules/commute.A massage sounds heavenly, Paris. I think I would use cuppa more for tea than coffee, but I do use a cup for both. Eh, I’d rather fall back in time than ahead. But starting to be that time of year, left in the dark, home in the dark.
Still gray looking out. DH once again asked if AC on. Um, no, but cool air coming through the vents. With 60’s the high predicted next week, I guess this weekend, heater will be turned on. That time of year. October is such a transition month. More cooler days than warmer, but can be everything from warmer then cooler, with days of rain, and one year, even snow that disrupted Halloween.
And so, a Wednesday it is.
William Shatner is such an icon! Love that he went full circle and flew to space!!Trekkies among us can now rejoice
90 y.o. William Shatner made it back from this morning’s space launch with only one minor side effect

I'd take DD to WDW for Spring Break in a heartbeat!! This year she's talking about Spring Break with friends. I get it...she's almost 23 and wants to do her thing with peers......someday I'll get her back!Hello everyone. I am at work and bored out of my mind. It is super slow today.
Dh and B are leaving this evening, so I want to go home and get the house cleaned so I don’t have to worry about it this weekend.
We will probably use it as a coat closet. Dh has more coats and jackets than anyone else I know.
November 7 for us. I wish we would stop doing this.
I’m just happy that she still wants to go to Disney at her age.
Same here.
Sounds like a great way to spend the afternoon.
I am watching the clock and waiting for lunch.
I'm way to close with my dermatologist as well, ugh! Thinking I'll end up with a few dings too in the years to come. Too many days of lifeguarding and chasing that perfect tan with pale skin and blonde hair.Never did cross off all the to-do’s yesterday. Going to concentrate on household & financial stuff today & chill in leggings & an old HHN tshirt

I 2nd that emotion!
She was a true Studda Bubba, complete with perpetual pristine white apron & a babushka. I make a mean soup or two, her’s were heavenly
I lament nobody bothered to write down her recipes
Need to Google that roast. Tried the Arkansas one with pepperchini. Not our cuppa despite enjoying the jarred peppers otherwise
Lol it’s the hime improvement version of Columba’s…just one more thing
Nice! When are u planning on visiting.
There always seems to be a post or two running on WDW side of boards here where people share their surprise announcements
Aaaah enjoy
Still mid 70s. Will be sad to see it s finally drop down to mid 60’s. Won’t be turning that heat in anytime soon. Would like to avoid firing up the boiler for another month if possible
March 13-18. It will be a quick trip and we are staying at the most budget resort. We are also thinking of going back to Disneyland when B graduates.
ooooh, Would you share the ham/corn chowder with biscuits recipe? Sounds amazing!!Quick morning stop in
Had an amazing dinner last night. So tasty but was disappointed that they prime rib roast/steak was sold out by the time we got there - that's my favorite there. Still had a tasty meal. We took the boys, and were joined by his dad, sister and niece. We didn't get to see them much over the weekend - so it was our thankgiving get together with them. The boys were surprised we took them with us. We typically don't take them to this place, as it's a little pricey - especially for teenage boys who would probably rather have pizza, burgers or tacos lol. They enjoyed it!
DH headed out of town this morning for work for the rest of the week. So it's just me and the boys. It's left overs all week. I have lots of turkey and ham left yet. Tonight I'll probably whip up older ds's favorite meal - a ham/corn chowder and biscuits. I will have to freeze the rest of the turkey and ham to use at a later date.
How fun!!!!

Well, I should shuffle some papers - seeing as they actually pay me to do that
Have a great day everyone...stay safe!!!!
No judging here! Candy anytime as an adult is A-OK! Don't have to ask permission from anyone, lol!Charade - lol, never want to be a red shirt on ST
seriously, they feel like they are suffocating after free-ranging all summer.
that ‘they ran out of prime rib‘ is horrible. Careful with developing the boys’ palates to the fancy stuff Lol. Sounds like a lovely dinner
Always seems like things go in cycles here, including medical appointments, almost there crossing off the backed up to-do list. Good thing U sent me an email it was last call to renew my AP or I’d have forgotten

wish i had cooked at this point. believe i hear the Halloween candy calling to me From the dining room. time to do some quality control & sample a Reese cup, maybe a peppermint patty too. Snack sized, they don’t count, do they?![]()
Enjoy your snuggles with Caspian!Quiet night tonight with just me and Caspian. Dh and B should be in Williamsburg by now.
I left work early today and took a nap when I got home. I woke up with an upset stomach. For supper I decided I would just have some crackers and ginger ale. I went to Kroger and there was not a single box of saltine crackers on the shelf. So weird. I can't imagine why there would be a run on crackers. I had to go to Walmart instead.
Wow, what a day you had, Hope the medical appointments go well.

B's dance studio has a spirit week each year where there are themed dress up days. Several years ago one of the themes was outer space. I dressed her up like a Star Trek red shirt. She had no clue.
Nothing worth watching on TV tonight. I think I will see if I can find a movie to stream.
I'm having my second cuppa coffee! Happy Thirsty Thursday!Hope B and her dad have fun today. And hope Charade has enough work to make the day go fast.
Schumi’s probably back from a nice long walk, and ready for lunch.
Julie probably had Louie out patrolling the yard.
Keisha probably is sleeping, at least I hope so.
Metro’s probably up with me, as early bird homies we are.
And so, even if no alcoholic drink in my hand at this moment, a cup of tea is. Hence, join me in having a terrific Thirsty Thursday.![]()
Ooh, and I bet Paris is feeling fine after her massage yesterday. Hope all is good, and having a terrific Thursday.
Bummer that she doesn’t get a spring break. B gets today and tomorrow for fall break,Thanksgiving week, and spring break.Aw, Charade, sorry not a busy day for you. Guess more time to plan your family Soring trip. And interestingly, little one does not get a Spring Break this coming Spring session, though they end early and will still have 3 of those silly random days off. She is getting Thanksgiving week off though, with finals starting when they return from that Fall break.
B will be 21 when we go to Disney. I am happy that she still wants to do things with us. I know it won’t be long before she wants to take trips with her friends.I'd take DD to WDW for Spring Break in a heartbeat!! This year she's talking about Spring Break with friends. I get it...she's almost 23 and wants to do her thing with peers......someday I'll get her back!
I know what you mean. Im already looking at stuff for Disney. I made our park reservations already.Well...I should get started on shuffling some papers and creating spreadsheets. I'm still not totally focused on work. I keep getting side tracked with things to look up for our Florida trip!!!
No luck with the outfit yet. I rarely find something I like on the first trip.Good luck finding that outfit Paris. Yeah, little one still likes to come with me, with mom paying, but that may soon be a friends trip as she finishes her undergrad classes.
Ack, with such an early start, so is my breakfast. Already ready for lunch. Nothing leftover from last night. And I assume older one will be wanting lunch soon too, as he works from after lunch until closing at 10 tonight.
I'm also a wimp outside when it gets too cold. The little dog agrees with me, the big dog does not, lol! She gets plenty of snowy zoomies all around the yard when I won't walk.Early morning stop in before the paper shuffling starts
Came into work a little later this morning. Good thing no one cares or holds me to the time clock. The one good thing about my position. I can set my own hours. Had to take dh's truck to get a truck box liner sprayed on today. It was a gift from his siblings for his birthday. We were just talking about doing that - and then he got it as a gift for his bd. I sure do like driving his truck. I like the seat warmers on these cool mornings
Not much in the plans for today or tonight. Probably head out for a walk tonight. It is supposed to be a pretty decent day today. Hopefully the wind stays down. Guess I should look into pricing for a membership at our city rec center. I am wimpy and want to walk inside. We don't have any big malls here - we have one small mall and it's way too crowded for me most times. I had trouble going into there pre-covid lol.
@J'aime Paris - good luck with the shopping. I would rather pick my eyes out with an ice pick than shop for jeans. I'm glad your spa day was sooo wonderful.
@Charade 67 - Enjoy the quite time with Caspian. It sounds like B and your dh will have a wonderful get away.
@Lynne G - our dd at 27 will always come along if we are payingKids
Well...I should get started on shuffling some papers and creating spreadsheets. I'm still not totally focused on work. I keep getting side tracked with things to look up for our Florida trip!!!
Have a great day everyone
