I mean we can't wear shorts anymore.... Actually, highs in the 50s, lows in the 30s, at least thats what the weatherman says.

I like "Pink Tink", thats who I'll be here, since we have a lot of Tinks on this thread, thanks for the nickname mac!

Pink Tink has now been born..........

It was 65 and sunny here yesterday. Today is overcast, windy and 55. Tomorrow is supposed to be the mid 60's again.

Our original NYE party plan was to go to a local ski resort (Hidden Valley....no they don't make Ranch dressing) but it's been too warm and the snow they produce is melted so they are closed.

Our high on Monday is the low 30's.

i called a friend in Belleville and she told be how nice the weather has been.
it's the same as youse posted.


i miss that weather so much.


isn't Hidden Valley west of you?

Yes, it's 18 miles west of us, near our Six Flags. It's in Wildwood, MO.

Hey, Homies!

We just got back today from a trip to Dollywood. Great place for a quick trip!

We're planning our next quick trip for mid February to Legoland. Has anyone been? My kids are obsessed with Lego, so this is going to be a birthday surprise for the older one.

Happy Boxing Day ...

We kind of had a version of Boxing Day, but it was on Christmas Day. I know - that makes no sense!

Since we were planning a trip and I knew we wouldn't have time to get ready for it, DH and I decided the week before Christmas to do all the presents on Christmas Eve, and nothing but the big dinner and packing on Christmas Day. So we had Boxing Day the day before you did. We may start a new tradition here!

 

[Tinker-tude]

Done with Ketchup.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and Boxing Day ... had a very nice, but quiet Christmas here.

I have such a great hubby ... here's one of the prezzies I received from him this year ... yes a Disney Dooney & Burke Bag

Sweet! I'd love to grab me one of those....

Made it to Anaheim! Job interview tomorrow at 10!

Too late to wish you luck, so

HOPE IT WENT WONDERFULLY WELL!!!!!

Happy holidays everybody, greetings from ICEland which at the moment really stands up to its name. The snow is atleast 16 inches deep in the city and deeper when you go anywhere from downtown. This is a pic taken just few minutes ago from my windom you can see a digger close to the top, it just finished "cleaning" the parking lot tho its still snowing so i dont know how long this will last


but atleast it is looking very festive, and the kids love it, i dont care i sit at home watching tv while im on a break but i cant deny that i would love to be in Florida right now, a little heat would be lovely

Wow. I get shivers looking at that picture. I thought we were cold visiting Tennessee this week, needing hats, gloves, and thermals. I grew up in snow, but I think I've lost all ability to tolerate cold anymore. I've grown soft in the south!

having 1st NYE party tonight due to kids work schedules (steak & chicken on the grill, shrimp, and getting ready to make the dreaded spinach dip in the bread bowl thang nom nom). Least it will tune us up for tomorrow lol.

Anybody else have plans?

We had a friend over for Cmas, so we're going to his house for a casual NYE get together. Soup and Monte Cristo sandwiches, and great conversation. That's more than we usually do!

We are headed over to friend's house tonight to help finish off their new bar they installed downstairs. They have the front of it covered with Bud Select and Bud Light Lime bottlecaps. They have lights that spell CAMPBELL's in the middle of it. So far it has over 2,000 bottlecaps on it. He needs around 200 or so more to finish before tomorrow nights party. Someone's gotta help....right?

And then we get to go back tomorrow and do it all again.

I am making Parmesan Wafers with basil and prosciutto with a balsamic reduction drizzled over them. If you havent made parmesan chips you seriously should.

Just get or grate some parmesan cheese (not super fine...more shredded) and put a tablespoon on a parchment line baking sheet.
Sorta flatten out the mound and bake at 350 until the edges start to brown (5 minutes or so). Let them cool and then scrape them off with a spatula or pull while still hot and mold them into cups or bowls by molding them over the end of a cup (will need a bigger mound to start with if making those).

So you get to work for your fun? Remind my 10 y/o that those rules never change.


I love the recipes you share with us. When you publish your cook book, I'll buy it fer sher!



If I can't get back here for awhile,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! wanted to come and wish everyone well for 2012 !!

We are getting excited for our trip to WDW on the 12th of Jan !! Just us no kids !! I cant believe it is already on its way !!

Looking forward to a new year with new people in my life and a great new outlook on life .. I also learned in 2011 that there is nothing better then family and friends come and go and some really are people that pass through your life with little to no meaning in the long run !!

bring on the ny's resolutions....

Unfortunately, I wasn't. I was cleaning carpets. We came home from our friend's house to a house that REEKED of dog poo. Rock and Roo both caught a nasty virus at the kennel while we were on vacation. I started cleaning up the mess (which was EVERYWHERE) and discovered the carpet cleaner didn't work. I cleaned up the best I could by hand. The dogs had to be let our every 45 minutes or so, and I was getting sick from the smell. When it finally seemed like the dogs were going to sleep for a few hours, I crawled into bed at 5 A.M. and got up around 8 A.M. to let the dogs out again. DH ran to the store and got a new carpet cleaner. The house smells much better, but the dogs still reek to high heaven. As soon as it's feasible, they are both getting a long, hot bath! And so are the carpets. Again.

Great way to ring in the New Year, right?

My resolution is to smile more and growl less.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Love it!

It's so funny to see what people in the past thought the future would be like. Every movie depicting the future (now present) makes me giggle.

 

[Tinker-tude]

I guess everyone went to bed early? I'll be heading there soon.


Nighty-night, Homies....
