Ack, rain here too, but even not as fun when on holiday. Hope all weather improves for all.
Yay, for Schumi’s December countdown. So nice Kyle can join you on this upcoming trip.
Quick stop in.
Work is slow today. So looking at craft ideas to maybe host some take and make craft parties. I don't know. Have to run the idea past the hubby. But it lets me use my artsy fartsy side ( which is my meditation/yoga and happy place ) and still make a little money on the side. After our girl night out...it just gave me some ideas. Guess we will see his thoughts on it.
Today is voting day here in Canada. We will be heading out after work. This will be the older son's first federal election to be able to vote in. So the three of us will head to the voting polls just the next street over from us. I don't want to get a kick out of here talking about politics...but oh my...it has been a very heated campaign. I'm hoping that we can come back together after this election is over.
Other than that...nothing else is really new. I went out over lunch to take in the sunshine and enjoy the weather. I'll take every snow free day we have!!!!
Have a great day hommies!!!!
It is deliciously hot here
Hey SCHUMMS! Looks like the Buckeev crew will be at Universal for a few of the same days as y'all will be! (Dec 18-19-20-21 for us...HRH this time.) and then head on down to the "South Side" for a week. SEVENTEEN members of our family during the Diz portion! Yeah, I know...CRAZINESS!!!We’ll be floating away before long! Yes, we are so looking forward to the three of us being together in Orlando......

Hey all, absolutely buried with commitments to family, etc since i’ve Been home. Tomorrow a cool haunted library at the high school ,we girls are doing a wing-ding party first.
Monyk - sure it’s not allergies. Two weeks is one too many for a miserable cold, yuck. Beautiful day here, 72 degrees, sun was shining, pollen & goldenrod were blowing, along with my nose. Was at dr’s today to grab a flu shot like a good do-bee. Was told if symptoms don’t disappear with the expected frost this weekend to make an appt. Most years i need a steroid when the lungs get too full of gunk from the allergies. Hate the side effects tho.
Still plugging away trying to finalize travel plans for next year. Almost there, but hate to suddenly have to reshuffle long standing/annual plans. Submitted the mr ‘s requests for weeks off to work, waiting for the all-clear. Still annoyed the one guy with more seniority in his dept. decided to take ‘our’ 4th of July week. No plans, just going to sit home and drink beer for two weeks. Man has never taken his now tween kids on a vacation. Talk about a keeper.
While planning today stumbled across the below nugget. File this one under natural selection:

Vote early & often![]()
Keisha, hope you are felling better pronto. Icky as when older one was on steroids, he looked great, but I was like off that crap now. Yep, older one wanted me to get more of his medical nasal spray. Thankfully, the OTC generic works just as well for him. I buy the three or four pack at a big box store. Still not cheap, but they do last awhile.
Chicken with steamed carrots for dinner. This just DH and I home, is odd feeling. No matter, by Thursday, older one returns. Then, back to routine with the still getting used to no little one around.
And, thanks Schumi, I am hoping littke one feels better soon. Doctor talked to her, and thought just a virus, so told her to fight it out, and if she is not feeling better by the end of the week, or running a fever, he does not need to see her again. Made me feel better, that it is just a bug, and nothing more serious. Hope she has an appetite, as I had Amazon deliver, today, some Amazon Pantry stuff I was pretty sure she will all eat and drink. Picky eater says college food offerings are mostly stuff she will not eat. Lucky, she can use some of her meal credits at the fast food places around campus. And I gave her a Starbucks card, that she sometimes gets cofffee on her late night class days.
Good evening everyone. I didn’t realize that I had not posted in a week. It seems that everytime I would think about posting I would get distracted by something else.
Not much interesting going on here. I could really use another vacation. We did have a nice distraction yesterday though. DH and I went to a theater downtown to watch silent movies accompanied by a live orchestra. In between films the orchestra played ragtime music. They had a ragtime arrangement of The Bee Gees Stayin’Alive that was hilarious.
I’m so far behind that I will just start from today and go forward.
Schumi - Yay for a new countdown.
I just purchased a baby gift too. My next door neighbors just had their third and final child.
Pumpkin - Hoping for no snow for you.
Lynne - Hope your daughter feels better soon.
Keisha - Your coworker sounds like my father minus the drinking beer part. We never took a vacation when I was growing up. Occasionally we would visit relatives out of state, but I didn’t consider that to be a real vacation.
Sue - I am sorry to hear that you mother isn’t doing well. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
I love the sound of a wing ding party!! Years ago we played a trick on a friend who is a self confessed joker......we kept mentioning those new and amazing wing dings........questioned why he hadn’t tried them yet......he did go raking through stores asking if they had them.....he wasn’t happy when we eventually confessed we made it up!! He can give it out, but can’t take it back......lol......
I was thinking she had to be pretty nimble to get herself out there in the first place. Oh, extended balconies are great! Prefer the aft ones, usually much deeper. Did learn not to pick the top most deck available though. Tend to get cigarettes flipped off onto it (even though no smoking zone) & when they wash the deck you can get a waterfall. So many people turn up their snouts at CCL, but we’ve sailed it the most. Great Miitary rates, nice itineraries & the wrap aft balconies on rooms (not to be confused with newer ships’ where it’s only suites that have them) are such a luxury!And Keisha, yeah I have to remind little one, if there's something dumb to do, there is always someone who is dumb enough to do it. Why stand where she did? I would never even think of that. Stoked we have an extended balcony on our coming up cruise. And the most I will be doing out there is sitting in the seat, enjoying a sip of tea or wine, while looking at hopefully, beautiful weathe
Ooh have fun! This time last year was on a Halloween cruise! Have to do that again.I’ll be off soon!
bYeah if it's not better by next week (will be 3 weeks with this cold) then I will go in. I am on Clariten in am, Allegra in pm (both 24 hour) and dayquil as needed. need a sinus lavage! But was also thinking a shot of steroids would make me feel better too.Monyk - sure it’s not allergies. Two weeks is one too many for a miserable cold, yuck.

Good to hear is doing better!!Just wanted to shout out positive affirmations to our much-missed, homie in charge - Mac!Finally, got green-lighted on sharing her status. She initially requested no fuss, no muss, but I felt inquiring minds here needed to know, so I wore her down
She has been recouping from planned major surgery, upon returning home from HHN trip.
