Nope, these are scones...
and you mean that yucky looking white gravy too don't ya 
The Canary Islands are incredibly popular with Brits as it's year round sunshine, well except for the last few days. An old school friend lives there and the day my Mum arrived they had the most torrential rain ever and flights were redirected to Gran Canaria (another island) 
It has stopped now though thank goodness! David and I went when we were about 18 to the trendy part and hated it, it was full of lager louts singing Rule Britannia outside our hotel at 3am, yes I was old when I was young or maybe I just liked my sleep 
It is weird though as the islands are volcanic so the sand is black!!!
It's a great last night of the proms song 
I'm making a veggie tray, little smokies, meatballs, Rotel, antipasto skewers and then I have some nuts, chips, whatever else we decide.
I hope all is well over here. I wish I had more time to keep up...but I'm on the cusp of crazyJust know that I think of you all often.
Have fun and hope you remembered the right bra
He's quite near you CE I think, Loon/Lune (not sure how to spell it) mountain in Lincoln near Boston
Worked today...waiting on snow again tonight.Tired of snow.
Jo, you've quite the cooks at home.
I just put it on FB but Ellie had run a bath and was letting it cool a little (long story but only the hot tap works!!!) when we heard loads of noise, well we run upstairs and this scrawny wet thing runs out of the bathroom. Boo had fallen in the full bath
, and then met Deb at Panera for lunch. We lunched and chatted, then went to her haircut and worked out some food/schedules. Then I went back to her mom's house with her and we worked on old boxes of stuff. 
We saved some for her sister to read, or that were particularly special, but recycled, for instance, the letters her mom got at age 16 from a sailor stationed in Naples, Italy. She apparently had 3 boyfriends at 16... 
I made them so often, I don't even need the recipe to make Toll House.
That does it, we're going to tea at the GF next time you're here.
The scones and Devonshire cream there are wonderful. So when should I make the reservation? 
) I like them with Raisins in hem
Went to the grocery store on my way home. I thought there was going to be a fight over a cart. People are freaking crazy! 
Sounds like you are going to have a lot of fun. I'm proud of you for remembering the bra. Going through the old letters sounds like fun. Deb is lucky to have a good friend like you.I'm getting to be first too often!
Good morning!
Ugh. This morning just felt rushed and hectic. Between not sleeping well - D seems to have a milder version of my "dread disease" and so between the two fo us, there was a lot of coughing, turning, and tossing - and then being ski club day (which involves extra snacks) and Buzz needing a cold lunch... Plus, I remembered as they were getting their snow stuff on that I needed to provide the PATT volunteer coordinator with 10 $1 gift certs to the next book fair as prizes for tomorrow night's Bingo Night. I don't want to go to school today, so I needed to get them into a kid's folder.
I talked to Deb yesterday - we usually Super Bowl together, but her DH is on the trip Sunday to Argentina with D, and her DH wanted her to tag along. (Since she's a pilot, she can fly for free...) Anyway, we also need to plan out some of our Maine skiing trip and she wanted to tell me some interesting stories that she's been encountering as she cleans out her mom's house. So, after my tennis today, we're having lunch, then I'm tagging along as she gets her hair cut by the third mom of our Maine trip, so that the three of us can plan food and ski days vs. off days, and that kind of thing.
I need to therefore get moving. I'll shower after tennis and then go meet her, which requires me to remember to take clothes to wear post-shower (I am very bad at remembering a non-sports bra for after ) and it's about time to go!
Hope you all have a great morning. I'll be gone until mid-afternoon, but then D & the kids have ski club, so I am free, baby!
Same here on the storm. I'm sure the stores were nuts also. Oh I loved to sell candy when I was in school. OK, I used to just hand the box of candy bars to my DDad and he would sell them all at work. So easy!So Storm Watch 2010 has begun. They are calling for anywhere from 6 to 18 inches. I could start tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow night. Yeah, they are pretty sure about all this.
All the talk about Chili made me want to make some so I am stopping at the store on my way home tonight (to get the milk, bread and eggs
The OT called yesterday to cancel Jimmy's appointment for today becasue she had a death in the family. Which is fine, since Jimmy didn't have an appointment today. I have to call and make sure he is on the schedule for Monday becasue that is what I had as his next appointment.
Tomorrow starts the Spring/Easter Candy sale at school This is a new company we are using. It is called Pine River, and everything is $5.00. THe Home and School makes a 50% profit. We shall see how it goes.
Off to get some work done.
I guess I'm going to have to come to your place for SB some time in the future. I hope you and Mitch have a nice weekend.
OMG, $1mil over a LIFETIME?! That's nuts.
Sending you guys many good thoughts for a positive outcome and no snow issues!
Hey! Good to hear from you! Thanks very much for thinking of all of us. I hope things calm down for you soon!I was skimming to check in on you all and saw Kristel's post about Doug. Sending many, many good thoughts your way, Kristel.
I hope all is well over here. I wish I had more time to keep up...but I'm on the cusp of crazy
MMM 'biscuit' pizzas sound yummo!
I need to apologize to you. I forgot to post a birthday wish for you on Enchanted. I know I posted good wishes here but dang I feel bad about it. Please forgive me!!!????? After all, you are the bestess! I'm sick of winter too. Um, hopefully you'll get more than just a shirt from the centergy! Maybe some nice abs and gluts!!
That's hysterical! Too bad you didn't get it on film.
I'm sure that helps.
I'm guessing it's a lot like pre-hurricane prep down here.
Oh gosh - that's not what I meant at all! I'm sorry!Sorry I took up all your reply time!
I'd started replying and then had to do stuff and by the time I came back I was out of time before a meeting.Good news!
Think I could use that, too?!
Not that I have anything exciting going on; I'm just ready for a weekend. If the weather's decent, I may take Leo to the state fair. I dunno... it's cheap to get in, but rides cost a small fortune and I suspect that's all he'll want to do. We'll see.
. 
Sounds fun, hope you didn't find anything embarassingHer mom saved every single letter she apparently ever got, and even had a ton of her own mother's letters (her mother is alive, but pretty senile, in a group home in Washington...) So, Deb's been going through these boxes which have pictures from 1950-2000, practically, all mixed together, with all these letters and so forth, too. It's fascinating, but what do you DO with all that?
Or she could come here for the real thingThat does it, we're going to tea at the GF next time you're here.
BTW I love Lost but you're right it's not a show you can just jump into you need to have watched it all!Yikes!!!
Don't be silly, actually I haven't even been over there for months and months, just don't have the time!!! Glad Doug's stuff went fine
So we quickly got dressed and went looking. We walked for over an hour when we came across a policeman at just after 9am who told us he'd just been found. During our walk we saw about 6 police cars and 2 or 3 on bikes, it was quite reassuring but made the situation feel more real IYKWIM. So thankfully he was found apparently he said he lost track of time ummm you don't go out at that age at that time of day just for a walk We've just seen him come home from school so they obviously sent him later, what I do find strange though is that I haven't had a text or call or anything thanking us for helping to look for him
Thanks!I'm glad your day went well.
No. I should take a look at it. I just don't have a lot of free computer time with everything that is going on.I'm sure that helps.
Do you follow Lance Armstrong or the LiveStrongCEO on Twitter? They post lots of information about cancer along with normal things.
I was teasing you, silly! TGIF for sure! The fair sounds like fun.Oh gosh - that's not what I meant at all! I'm sorry!
Morning! TGIF
Nothing else to report. Happy Friday all!
Yep, he is actually getting outside today in all the mess. I guess he is tired of sitting around. That's good.I've literally got 10 minutes before the craziness starts, so I thought I'd drop in to say "WHAT'S SHAKIN'??"
Kristel - I'm glad to hear Doug had a better day. Still sending you lots and lots of
Ugh, looks like a lot of you are getting snow and guess what? We're getting freakin' RAIN again! Someone needs to tell the weather man that we don't need no stinkin' rain!
Anyway, enjoy your Friday! I'll try to BBL......
Peace out!
That would be scary. I'm surprised that the parents didn't say thanks. Maybe they will later. How was golf?
It takes up half of my living room. I told him we could get a nice 50" flat screen with all the computer hook-ups for $800 when the cave is ready. 
I've been getting the series from Netflix. Very interesting show, if you like the macabre and weird.
I'm guessing it's a lot like pre-hurricane prep down here.
Morning! TGIF
Well we've had a fun day, at 7.30am I get a text from my friend and neighbour (the one who has just lost her FIL and lost her Dad a little while back) saying that her 7 y/o DS had run away at 6.30am with a rucksack
Jo said:Anyway thankfully he was found in time so I could go to golf
It's much nicer to receive!
Love Dexter!
It's gonna be a loooooong weekend They cancelled Cub Scouts, before the snow even started I have a feeling jimmy's play date will also be cancelled for tomorrow, as well as all my errands I wanted to get done.
Anyway, enjoy your Friday! I'll try to BBL......
Peace out!
Sounds fun, hope you didn't find anything embarassing
It is SO odd and sad to read about what lengths she went to to hide what she was doing, how much she lost, her fear, anxiety, etc. I read the book last night - it's actually an unfinished manuscript, with full passages, then things like "(show here the scene in the CPA's office with the W-2's.)) Anyway, parts of the book/therapy letters mention how much she really kind of detested the wedding as it kept her from the riverboats, and that HAS to be hard to read, no matter if you understand that it's a sickness. 
Luckily, not related to the boyfriends at 16. , so the first marriage was weird, too. Deb doesn't much talk to her dad - their first conversation since she was in middle school was about 2 years ago - because he more or less wrote her a letter to say that he had a new baby and he just couldn't be a dad to both. 
Jo said:Anyway thankfully he was found in time so I could go to golf
Mom said earlier that it rained longer than they anticipated, then hung right around 33, to make that ridiculously heavy crap. Sorry. Love Dexter!
I'm glad I'm not dealing with it. I'm sorry that you are, though - we just read that DC is looking at between 2-3 feet. At least we'd be prepared to handle it, you know? We made nearly $500 in just bake sale and drink sales! so I'm going to sign off. Have a great night, all!
