[Nancyg56]

I ended up having the best night last night.
WFDT ~ it's date night and I think I am going to have the salad bar. Sounds good this morning we shall see what actually looks good when I get there.

Make it a great day my friends. I will BBL to catch up with all of you.

What a wonderful surprise you had! We got to see Game plan with kady on saturday...same kind of movie

have fun on date night!

Glynis - I'm planning on calling Lauren this afternoon. I'm getting ready to leave work and go home, not feeling well at all, achy and chills...

Get some rest! Please send my love to Lauren when you talk to her and then take care of yourself!

Wendie- don't try to catch up, just jump in as you can.

Ok Girls----I am running pretty low on my Kcups so I need your best sites to order some.
I love bold strong coffee and I love variety boxes, so where do you get your best deals?

Hey y'all

Sorry I didn't check in earlier. Went back to bed, overslept, then started on dinner. The short ribs I didn't start a day ahead like I said I would.

Aimee, I've had you on my mind all day. I'll be praying all day!

Kathy, I'm sorry you're feeling bad! I hope you are on antibiotics from the dentist visit. Call me if you need anything!

Lauren, Still holding you & your family close in prayer.

Ellen, Glad you had fun! A saw it this weekend but her explanations of movies are quite hard to follow!

Nancy, Glad I could help!

Maria, Hope you are feeling better!

I'm doing the PW's short ribs & I'll do her polenta or if I can't get to the store, I'll do the same thing with yellow grits. Of course I tweaked the recipe just a teensy bit. Added about of tsp tomato paste. The last time I fixed it, I had tomatoes in it & they were so good.

Gotta run, get to PT. I won't have time to check on FB. Hope I'm not missing anything.

Oh, Kathy! I don't like to hear this, at all! Take it easy, my friend! Get some rest, and feel better!!!

Tell Lauren we love her!

 

[MickeyShow]

Aimee- good luck today!

Kathy- I hope you feel better.. get some rest please.

Dinner tonight is lemon chicken cutlets over angel hair with roasted butternut squash on the side.

Aimee -- I'm thinking of you today and praying all goes well.

Kathy -- I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Please come back with an update on Lauren. I've been thinking of her a lot and praying for her family.

Michelle -- When my two were little, we lived right outside Boston, so everything was within five minutes of our house. I used to hate driving the 45 minutes to see my ILs because the kids would fall asleep in the car and then they wouldn't nap. Moving to the suburbs was a big adjustment. I felt like I was always in the car. Now that the kids are older and I have to drive them all over the place, I probably am.

Sheryl -- I'm sorry you feel like canceling your trip, but I wish you good luck renting the points.

Ellen -- Sounds like you had a fun night! Is Doug in a play?

Maria -- I hope your tooth is improving.

Lauri -- How did your test go?

Glynis -- I'm glad everyone is feeling better. Zumba is the first thing I have really been able to stick with. There are some weeks I have to drag myself there, but I am always glad I did.

Today was an early release day, so the kids have a couple friends here. That makes concentrating difficult. They were all happy because I baked cookies...chocolate/Heath Bar.

My family room looks like it should be on one of those Hoarders episodes (I don't watch that show, but I've seen previews) because I am reorganizing my kitchen and eventually other areas of my house. I have cookbooks and pantry supplies and all kinds of other stuff all piled up in that room. It's my project for the week.

Dinner will be fast. The kids will want breakfast food, and I think I am going to go throw an Indian dish together for me. Becky gave me some paneer when I saw her this weekend, and I just found a recipe for something using it. It has no title, though, so I guess it will be mystery dish until it is cooked.

 

[Disney Ron]

Laura, now I want cookies!!!!!!

----------

WFD- lamb chops, spanish rice, & corn

 

[TigerKat]

I spoke with Lauren briefly, she is going to call me back to talk more later. She says she's OK but she sounds very tired. Please keep her in your prayers and I will update after I speak with her again.

 

[Disney Ron]

Thanks for the update Kat...please tell her I am thinking of her.

I sure hope Aimee went in on time. I keep looking at the clock thinking of her and Jason. He must be watching the clock more and than me and that is the worst.

 

[OKWMom]

Checking in for an Aimee update. I hope everything is going well.

Kat - Sorry you feel bad. Rest this afternoon as much as possible. And thanks for the Lauren update. When you speak to her again, please tell her I'm thinking of her.

Girls I'm sorry this is a short fly-by, but things are just nuts here at work. Hopefully I'll BBL.

 

[Disney Ron]

Kat, sorry my friend...do you feel any better? Please rest if possible!

Gretchen, fly by ...allowed...we have all been there!

DH just informed me that he doesn't like Spanish rice so change of plans...cous cous instead...oh by the way he doesn't like that either but it is the lesser of two evils I guess!!!

 

[THE HAT]

Just a quick post to let you know I have not heard from Jason yet. I am anxious to hear.....I hope she went in on time!! I will post as soon as I hear something!!

 

[bigmerle1966]

Marilyn - Your PETA comment had me rolling on the floor! It took me a minute, originally to figure out what you meant, but once I did... I spit water out my nose!

Glad I gave you a little chuckle!


Have to get caught up later, going shopping with my BFF.

Guess what? We're under a Winter Storm watch for Friday morning to Saturday evening which has the potential for a foot or more of snow. They are saying it is looking for it to be on-line with what we got December 19th.

 

[THE HAT]

Just heard from Jason

Our girl is out of surgery, and doing good. I have a bit more details on our FB running email.

Praise God!!! I feel like I can take a deep breath now that we heard something!

 

[LBKB]

Lauri -- How did your test go?

Thanks Laura for remembering and asking I have gall stones. have to go back to Dr to dicuss next step. Probably Surgery.

Kat hope your feeling better.

Remembering all and everyones prayer request we sure have alot going on.

Waiting to hear about Aimee and Lauren thinking of you

 

[LBKB]

Thanks Wendie for th update.

 

[HERSEY]

Lauri Sorry to hear about another surgery for you. Hopefully it will be the end of your troubles.

 

[THE HAT]

Lauri--I had my gallbladder out 7yrs ago...if you have any questions just ask!

 

[shovan]

Kathy, Thanks for the update! There has only been a few minutes each day that Lauren hasn't been on my mind.

Wendie, I can't find the FB post! It seems to have split the thread. I'm glad to hear she's out, but I'm still worried.

Lauri, OMgoodness you poor thing! Not another surgery! You have already had way more than your share! If you need to talk, pm me please. Sending prayers & hugs your way, friend!

I fixed the PW's short ribs today & her goat cheese polenta. The ribs were really fatty & so I only have little bits of meat from 7 large short ribs. I'm not digging the goat cheese in the polenta, seems a bit too sour on it's on. We'll see after dinner how it goes with the ribs & gravy. I use my little degreaser cup thingy to remove a lot of fat, but time in the fridge surely would have helped.

Maria, Prayers being said. Sorry I missed your call! I called back a little while ago, but didn't get you & left a message.

Goodness, you picked a biggie! I have been trying to eat things we have stashed away. I tossed out so much when I went through my shelves i was ashamed. Our menus have been "interesting" to say the least. Good luck to you, little Hoarder! And honestly............until you see what I dealt with Sunday...you are no Hoarder.

Guess what? We're under a Winter Storm watch for Friday morning to Saturday evening which has the potential for a foot or more of snow. They are saying it is looking for it to be on-line with what we got December 19th.

I went to a weather watcher site because I saw the snow back in teh forcast for Saturday. Now you know I have big food plans for Sunday so I need to know................. and saw that doozy coming your way! Get your errands done, it looks huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marisa had hers out too. I have to say that you have had way too much to deal with though.....

I am going to admit that I don't always remember each request I want to make. I have decided that if the Good Lord gave me Swiss Cheese for a memory he needs to understand when I finish up with the "all my goood friends and their friends". Not my fault. That is my story and i am sticking to it.


Dinner. Buddy wants sandwiches, i made chicken salad for lunch and he wants it for dinner. I give up! I want it too!
