I love appetizers - I could make a meal out of them!

Ooh, yes - a meal of appetizers! I'd love that.

Yeah I went inside Kohl’s Saturday ( HUGE mistake ) I left with a new blanket did I need it ? No but it was a Disney Christmas one and just too cute !! Goes great with those towels I grabbed too was I in there for towels ? Nope not even close !!! I went in to grab some tights which they didn’t have !!! which made me have to go inside Target ( 2nd mistake of the day ) did get the tights and a few other items on clearance!!! I didn’t grab a cart so I could limit myself !!! just getting rights was not going to happen when I HAD to walk through the clearance that was nowhere near the checkout lanes !!! this is why I don’t go in stores !!! Towels & blankets I’ve got a problem !!! And clearance - who can pass that up ??? Not me !!!

My girls are the same way. DD22 was on a quest to find the Shrek blanket with the Gingerbread Men. She finally found one and ended by two of them

I have often made a meal of appetizers, especially at WDW.
For ex.
At Skipper Canteen, I love getting the soup of the day and the falafel appetizer.

We don’t go out to dinner often, but my favorite apps are spinach and artichoke dip with nachos, and any combination of melted cheese with breading or bread. (Looking forward to trying that garlic bread at Tony’s sometime)

10 years ago today laying in a hospital bed with cancer.

Tumor removed and started a chemo course with a new drug called Avastin.
Was the first to be treated with it.

Cured and good to go, still cancer free.

Today's Topic (Thu, 11/7) - 3 oval things you're grateful for

 

[slo]

Good Thursday Morning!

#1 - Eggs - I don’t eat them as often as other people do, but when I do, I fully enjoy it.

#2 - Mirror - I have an oval mirror, that my husband put on our bathroom door, so I can see the back of my head when I’m doing my hair. The main bathroom mirror is above the sink, which is across from the mirror on the door. My mom did this in her bathroom which is what gave me the idea. It’s hard when I go on vacation and can’t see the back of my head easily, because im so used to being able to do this

#3 - Indianapolis Motor Speedway - My husband is a huge racing fan and the IMS is his most favorite place in the world. The IMS is 2 1/2 hours away from our house and I used to go there with him before we had DD26. I have a lot of great memories at that speedway that I’m very grateful for. DH has been going to the Indianapolis 500 every year since he was seven years old - every year he buys four tickets and sells two. One year soon DD21 and I are going to use the other two tickets, she wants to go and experience this race, it’s just a matter of when she’s available to.

Good Morning everyone,

God's blessing to both dad and me of having eyes period and each of us a pair that are sighted.

Definitely eggs

Dad enjoys some Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies which are sort of oval-shaped.

Horse racing track !!!!! I absolutely love horse racing for full disclosure I do not bet money on it I just enjoy the sport and absolutely love horse

Eggs - it can be a breakfast food it can be a dinner food it’s a very versatile food I love them just about anyway you fix them especially when you whip into a cake

Mirrors I do enjoy an oval mirror Especially the ornate ones

Wow! Shapes are tough! I'm still thinking about triangles

Vessel Sink - When we remodeled the bathrooms, I wanted at least one pretty vessel sink. The half bath has this pretty oval one made of treated glass in turquoise, black, and metallic coated clear tones. It's not as amazing as I hoped it would be, but it's still so pretty and I'm glad we got it so I could get that out of my system.

Toy Car tracks - My brother received a number of different toy car tracks for Christmas and birthdays. All were based on some kind of oval layout. Mind you, they might have some offshoots, but an oval was the foundation. We used to have so much fun racing the electric ones and the Matchbox ones that functioned on simple physics were a blast to try and design and see who could be the other.

Model Trains - Not quite the same as the racing in the toy car track example, but my uncle and paternal grandfather were big train buffs. While there were straightaways, crossovers, and other neat features, the simple oval base track was the foundation. My grandfather built a custom train platform that was the staple base for the annual Christmas tree. My uncle converted the entire attic in his first home into a massive train village and did a dedicated room in his second house. Roadside America in Pennsylvania was a major favorite of our family and more recently, the mall DH likes to visit for Christmas decorations has an area managed by the local Tin Plate Society that has some really impressive displays.

This is a timely one - ovals

I am grateful for the three elongated bowl toilets that were delivered today and will be installed next week. Out of three bathrooms, I was down to one working toilet, so it’s going to be wonderful to have them all working again.

Our kids like the pasture raised eggs from COSTCO. (I dunno the difference). Pallets full sell out fast there.
Neighbor's ranch is overflowing with eggs and we send over BBQ, they send back eggs and fresh-baked Armenian bread.

Starting to see bookstores once again.
Hardcovers have a certain closer to the author feel than a Kindle.
