Add a ‘lil hot sauce & call it Nashville, nom
Same here, ordered youngest DSs set sight unseen. Had great reviews but, really do like seeing furniture in person. It came in multiple huge boxes, appears a lot of assembly will be required. SOS was promptly sent out to his Dad, put on schedule for next weekend. There will be beer.
Stomach off a bit this afternoon, going to let the mr order takeout when he wakes up & i’ll Continue to drink tea the rest of the day
Making a quick stop in!
Went for a short walk last night. Made it short as it was stupidly cold out and I didn't realize how cold it was. It was -16C or 3f I cut it short to 30 minutes. My legs were cold. It seems to be warming up a little now. It is supposed to go above freezing tomorrow.
My new desk came in last night. So I got my boys to help me set up and move out the old one. Now I have a better idea of a couple more things I need to organize that area. I ordered some wallpaper to give that space a boost as well. Can't wait for it to all come together. No working on any projects other than that last night. Hopefully tonight I will get them completed and my project room a little more organized again. It is driving me nuts.
Your backyard looks like paradise. How do you even want to leave?!
At HomeSense ( TJX /Winners/Marshalls ) we have a quarantine carts. They get put into the warehouse, with the date that the cart was used to accept returns. After 2 days, we put the items back on the shelves. I hope more stores are doing this as well.
I hope you start to get some sunshine soon. I struggle when there are too many grey days in a row.
Still sending you positive healing thoughts and vibes.
That is amazing!!!! Congrats to L
I forgot to add to yesterdays convo about buying items at stores. I ALWAYS dig. I will take from the bottom or the back of the shelf. I never grab what is right in front of me for 2 reasons. 1- freshness. They will always rotate product, putting the oldest on top or in front. 2- for the reason that you never know what someone may have done to that item...like SITTING on a freaking bag of rice....or lifting the seal on the ice cream and taking a lick on it DH thinks I'm crazy. I worked in a grocery store and I KNOW what people do when they think staff are NOT looking. We would watch people from upstairs doing stuff all the time. Soooooo many people are gross.
I guess I should get back to trying to look busy and shuffle a few papers again. Hopefully check in again a little later!!!!! Have a great day everyone!!!!
Quiet day today thank goodness. My only "excitement" was going to the accountant's office to sign my tax return. We are getting a refund of one dollar from the state. Oooh, can't wait to spend it all in one place.
I am so looking forward to it. This will be my first ever solo trip anywhere.
Aww...sweet. I'm a little envious. My cat is not a cuddler.
Hope you are able to find something you like. We found a store that does not have pushy sales people. Most of our furniture has come from that store.
Congratulations L!
Hope you feel better soon.
I am the same. I never take from the front unless it is the only item left.
I need to go pack my overnight bag. Tomorrow we go to BG.
Yay! Congratulations to L.
Aww, some warm weather and kids got me water ice. Now under the covers as close to brain freeze and have goose bumps. But sweet and hot the spot. Had burgers with tomatoes and baked beans. Little one had no beans. Oh well. Did eat lots of the tomato I sliced.
So happy a lazy morning, even though I am sure DH will wake me up early. Oh well, I still will not be moving fast, and will enjoy a hot shower later in the morning. Then, since the cry that nothing here to eat, will do some grocery shopping. Sigh. It’s not like my pantry is bare, nor the refrigerator empty. Family all home. Every day three meals and snacks, when one or two meals was our normal, we go through more of everything.
Lynne enjoy cooking for the kids while they live at home
You’ll miss that in later years when they move out
I had two sons that always were asking, what is to eat here
And two that decided they would make their own food.
Of course the two that did cook never left me notes of what they used up.
So did a lot of running to the grocery store at the last minute ....
oh gosh 25 pages to catch up?
Hope all are well!
Will try to catchup later-good to see Mac back and found Keisha's HHN thread!!!!
Feeling so much more hopeful for this year it's ridiculous. Part of reason I'm MIA is I got to go full time back into my LTC's last week-almost precisely a year since I was able to get back in a few. To say I am silly excited about commuting etc is an understatement. So nice to see some of my residents too!! More than a few greeted me with a "hello stranger-nice to see you back" type remark.
Anyway-HI to all!
Cats are great cuddlers!I’m chilling in bed with the cats and woke up with one of them on my chest.
It was the 6 lb cat not the fat one of over 10 lbs.
I would have been awake hours ago if it was Blue on me.
There has been a long backlog of shipping for all sorts of items, appliances, furniture, building supplies, etcGood day all Another hurry up & wait day here thus far. Not my strong suit
Did spend most of am back on hunt online for new LR furniture. It needed replaced since before the pandemic. I’m very specific (fussy lol), as to what I want so that narrows the options. I’m stunned how long shipping is being stated...we are talking months...as in perhaps by the fall, Ugh, put that on a pause. Majority of furniture stores here now on an appointment only basis. Thinking in a few weeks, they will open to public. Just don’t like the idea of being under such a watchful eye. I like to try out the furniture as to recline features etc.
Congrats to L!Just heard the mini egg cake made by L has won her a Homepride Mini Baker award. Homepride is one of our larger baking supplies companies for flour etc. Her prize will come in the post she will be thrilled.

A room refresh, always satisfying!!My new desk came in last night. So I got my boys to help me set up and move out the old one.

Have a wonderful visit with your daughter!!I need to go pack my overnight bag. Tomorrow we go to BG.
I must admit DD isn't a great cook. She had little interest in learning when living at home. Since she's been in an apartment at school, she's had to figure it out. I think her roommate and friends helped her learn a bit.At least you taught your boys to cook. I did the same with Kyle, made sure he could cook anything. I do have some friends that their kids can open a can....that`s about it!
Tomorrow is pizza delivery night and we`ve organised a quiz night on zoom with several friends, haven`t done that in a few weeks so should be fun.
That sounds perfect!! Beautiful too I'm sure!We went straight out after the school run this morning as it was bright and sunny. Few errands then to my favourite florist who has done me a lovely tub of spring plants - my parents song was “You are my sunshine” and the tub has this written on the side. So pleased with it for Mother’s Day. Kev said I should have got another for the front porch and I was tempted.
We have 1-3 inches of snow forcasted for Monday, ugh! I knew our snow melt off was too good to be true!!Saw I was 2 degrees warmer then Orlando right now. Difference is, they will see high 80’s, but I will see low 50’s this weekend, with a snow chance early next week, with temps in the low 40’s to start the week days next week. Sigh. Spring may be coming in like a lion, it better leave as a lamb. Just saying.
Good karma for you Carole!! I'm sure the lady was quite relieved!After the post office we went a brief walk along the shore front, it was breezy to say the least! We did a good turn though.....saw a little doggy looking lost and a little frightened, it came up to us and ran away, then came back, so I picked it up and went further along and found the woman who was looking for the dog. I did hope she wouldn‘t think we were dognappers, but she was nice about it. Gorgeous little dog too. There was another woman too who we chatted to about the dog who wanted to pick it up too.
Hi MonyK. Good to see you back.Anyway-HI to all!
The flying is actually the part I am nervous about. The last time I flew alone was over 20 years ago. I don't really like flying, but it's too far to drive.Charade have a great BG trip. We can only book self catering here for some time yet. You will enjoy your solo trip I’m sure. I used to travel a lot for my job. I remember the first time I flew alone - felt so good.
I'm sure she was happy to see her dog was in good hands.After the post office we went a brief walk along the shore front, it was breezy to say the least!

I think we use noodles and pasta almost interchangeably. I know I have said spaghetti noodles and lasagne noodles before, but usually call them pasta. Now I'm craving noodles/pasta.Oh they were penne pasta, Schumi. We had them with red sauce the other day. When I do chicken noodle soup I usually buy those thin egg noodles or rice to put in it. But like little one, no matter the type of pasta or noodles left over, it will be tossed in the soup pot. For me, noodles are those that look like ribbons, though spaghetti I say is a pasta. I think the type of flour and grind, determines what is said to be a noodle and what is said to be a pasta. And I tend to buy noodles that are made with eggs.

I'd be a mess if I lost one of my pets....
Supper will be panini's tonight. I bought the ingredients yesterday and lugged the panini maker up from the basement last night. Gee that thing is heavy! It's a very nice Cuisinart model, but it's so cumbersome. Probably why I don't use it as often as I should.
An area golf course opens tomorrow and DH is going. I think it will be around 55 outdoors, so not too bad. He wants to get a couple rounds of golf in before his trip to Texas early April. It's an annual golf trip with his buddies. A few of them live in WI and a few in TX. The Texas guys have a bit of an advantage, since they can golf nearly year round. But either way, DH looks forward to it immensely!
Happy Friday all!
I may open a bottle of wine tonight.....panini sandwich pairs well with wine, right?
This would be a somewhat accurate representation of me opening a bottle of wine, lol!

Ooh, almost time to get some vegetables. That shower was so refreshing, and nice and hot. Hehe, lone chicken was clucking so loudly a few minutes ago. Guess it was happy or telling a squirrel to get out of the chicken coop.
And crap on week day TV. Ugh. But the Chester Zoo show is on. Christmas episode. So at least some fun to see, even if filmed years ago.
Aww, sweet you returned the lost dog, Schumi. Sounds like a very friendly dog.
Hello everyone. I am doing some last minute cleaning before we leave this afternoon. Trying to decide if I want to color my hair before we go.
Hi MonyK. Good to see you back.

I have a few hours before B and dh get out of their classes, so I think I will do my hair. Also need to mail a package to my mom.
It’s exciting when u see it all come togetherCan't wait for it to all come together. No working on any projects other than that last night. Hopefully tonight I will get them completed and my project room a little more organized again. It is driving me nuts.
Whoohooneed to go pack my overnight bag. Tomorrow we go to BG.
I’d be sleeping with one eye open lolCharade, our two cats are cuddlers
Believe me, it gets old...especially when one sleeps on your head and the other on your chest
Got the first semi decent slicing tomatoes this week. Can not wait for the garden ones. StillDid eat lots of the tomato I sliced.
Seems as I’m feeding my extended brood at least half the week. It’s a blessingLynne enjoy cooking for the kids while they live at home

lady sings the blues a real fluff piece featuring ms Ross. Least Billie dee Williams graced it lolHome and some vegetable soup for lunch. We are going to watch the Billie Halliday film this afternoon.
Yum indeed. It looks warmer here than it isAnd so, with that lazy morning, not only does wash get done, a hot breakfast be had. Eggs, bacon, and bagels. Yum. And of course, tea. Hot tea, as even though 61F out, house feels a bit cool.
Another yum. Making crab cakes again, family favorite in lentchicken in a peppercorn sauce tonight for dinner after all. Stopped in to the butcher and got some boneless and skinless thighs.
I refuse to purchase unless I’ve tried it out for fit.Hope you are able to get your LR furniture soon!
Oh, me too. I just add some heat to the syrupThe deep red of that Nashville hot sauce is down right scary! Not for this spice wimp!

She's doing okay all things considered. I should probably give her a call before I leave today.How is your mum Charade? Hope she`s doing ok with all that`s ahead of her.
That episode made me sad, but I'm curious to see where the MCU will go with her story.Watched final wandavision. What a ride!
I`m impressed you can understand it......lol......some English friends hadn`t a clue what some of the words were and I got lots of txts asking what things were.....haha....but so funny. Especially the earlier ones, maybe the first 3 seasons.
Please share when you make something yummy! New kitchen 'toys' are always fun!

Yeah, Keisha had to watch that finale twice to see stuff I did not quite see first time. Yep, set up for at least 2 most likely 3 movies Disney wants to do. Kids asking for mom at end. Oooh. Oh, and both my kids are enjoying the air fryer.
Nice to do hair color before all ready to leave Charade. Hope you all have a great time at BG.
Paninis at Schumi’s, orders taken,I think, LoL. Sounds like a nice meal. Kids I think will want pizza or wings. Maybe even Chinese. Shall see. Otherwise, I can finish up the chicken, so maybe that will be lunch. Got broccoli, so maybe I’ll thicken up some of my chicken broth, and chicken with broccoli and rice.
Happy Friday All,
Lol. I will admit I do keep my closed captioning on in case I don't catch what they are saying but I can pretty much figure out what they mean when I do hear it. After watching it so many times I can understand the accent better. The character Jack is the hardest for me to understand. It did take me a minute or two to figure out some of the informal terms mean, like "leccy". Or how they use the adverb "how" when we would would ask "why" when questioning the reason for something.
I enjoyed all the seasons, except for the last. It was too sad for me. I loved all the characters. Great cast.
They did turn out nice. The first batch went quick, I will post a pic the next time I make them.
Very nice. Congrats to L.
Me too. Especially cold stuff. I always grab the one in the middle of back.
That was very nice. I follow a fb page that lists lost/found animals and it breaks my heart to see all those lost dogs and cats. There has been one missing since December and she is spotted every now and again but no one can catch her. Glad you were there to help.
My DS has little interest as well. He is a very picky eater so that does not help.
Charade- Happy Birthday to Caspian and I hope you have a great time at BG.
Sunny warm day today but I think it comes to an end soon. Today's high is 78 tomorrow's high is 55. Lazy day so far but I did have a scheduled call with DS's school guidance counselor to nail down DS's schedule for next school year so that is done. Now I just need to make a decision to send him back to school when they open up in 2 weeks....not concerned about COVID, I just don't want to put him through sitting in a lockdown environment when he could learn the same thing at home. I would like to send him so he can socialize with other kids since he is an only child but not sure how that will go with masks and 6 feet apart.
No plans for the weekend. Maybe do a little yard work. The warm weather has awakened the grass (and weeds) so the yard needs to be cut.
I am taking my mom for her 2nd shot on Sunday. She is excited to get it over with so she can get back to normal but she is not looking forward to the side effects.
Not sure what is for dinner. Need to go rummage through the freezer and see what what I have and what I can cook that is low carb.
