Hello....Hope its a Happy Monday at your house!
Busy here. Normal Monday I think....dishwasher running, washer washing, and cat outside!
Peace and quiet...best cup of coffee I've had in awhile! Little brat cat. I picked him up and we were 'bonding ?'...and the little beast bit me. Not to break the skin but enough pressure it set me off. I stood up. Cat went flying.. figured we were even! Made sure he ate, and then out he went...on his own mind you. He knew what he'd done.
Gym is on my list. and some headway in that front room...don't know what to call it. Desk piled high with papers and stuff, food in storage on the bed, and a chair, in other words its a terrible terrible mess. Need to get it straightened out, and CLEAN for my brother and SIL by mid March...we're all headed for Hilton Head on March 17th. Hoping for a warm week with lots of sunny skies...Ted is also going, won't know about Marietta til the week of...house is up for sale, she's applied for jobs in Texas, etc.
Taxes done, both state and fed have been excepted. So glad that's done! Getting back pretty much what I did last year..makes sense...same ole pension and SS checks.
I love that Ga gives us back all our taxes for the year when you're old enough to qualify!
Ok, time to clean litter boxes and run the sweeper and I'm sure there are other chores LOL!
Gym is on the list for this afternoon....

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 59 out there now with an expected high of 60 and 40% chance of rain, mostly morning showers. I'm more than ready for this rain to quit for a while.
Had baconized mac and cheese for breakast. No clue what else I'm going to do today, but hope a nap is in there somewhere. Should push Eddie to do some housecleaning but really the cool and damp seem to get in my bones.
Do need to clear the sink and feed the cats.
It sounds as if Your weather was decent. Since You mentioned rain I was wondering did the reservoirs ever reach 100% ?
Your mention of Mac & Cheese reminded me that yesterday I used one of the NS White Cheddar Mac and Cheese cups, It was tasty enough however It made a mess inside of the Microwave. I had to pull the glass turntable and wash it in the sink, then take a damp sponge to the rest of the inside of the Microwave
Since it is not that large a cup I am not sure it was worth the bother, I should have done what You did and chopped up a couple of slices of the CostCo precooked Bacon to throw into it.
Interesting and since it is an image I can save it easily too.parityanimal wrote: »

Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
46 out there now with an anticipated high of only 48 and 10% chance of precipitation.
Sink needs to be cleared and cats need to be fed eventually. They have had a tiny snack that should hold them over, as they get (or at least are offered) treats when Lilo gets her Tuesday shot, which I usually do first thing in the morning.
As always, she was crabby about it and very vocal in her displeasure but took it like a champ. One of these days she's going to surprise me and bite the *KITTEN* out of me when I do that but not today...
Shopping list is updated, and looks like I'll need a grocery trip soon but not necessarily today.

Bad Star Trek props. Remember all the food at parties, that looked like PlayDoh? Well, they were only some of the bad props on the show. I loved the show anyway.

So...today is Fat Tuesday, but tomorrow is Valentine's day AND Ash Wednesday.
Is that the most conflicted day ever, for those who participate in Lent, but also participate in Valentine's day?
I suspect a lot of people will celebrate Valentine's day and Fat Tuesday at the same time today.

Hi!
Had to catch up on yesterday before I could look at today's posts.
Loved the pix as usual, that box of puppies!! OMG what fun. But then they grow up to be a box of dogs...which would be a bit 'much'. Down here Roger they're trying to pass a 'Pet Lemon Law'...like car lemon laws...No, I am not making that up.... Some people thing it will be a good thing for pet owners, and others say its only protection for the pet sellers because of the way its structured...will be interesting to see how that works out.
Ok, Ed...I must be dense or something. Valentines day and Ash Wednesday??? I don't understand. Ash Wednesday those who can go to church and get their foreheads marked with ashes....but how does that impact Valentines Day,...unless they're giving up chocolate or sweets? I never participated in Ash Wednesday when I was Catholic. So maybe I'm missing something there...is it a fasting day??
I have daffodils blooming in my yard, and Daphne is already loaded with half open buds, as is my Mahonia. Spring must be soon, she said with her fingers crossed and HOPE in her heart!!!
I am so over winter, as usual!!
I"ve never been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. I think I'm a bit too old now! Have either of you been there for either?
Time to start looking around for dinner food! and 'here comes da kat' OH, and Roger I took a pix of my Lacto Kale. (also called Dinosaur Kale by some...Lets see if I can attach it here.
If not...will see you

My NS Deliveries Arrived late in the day and have not been processed. I figure the frozen should be fine. I shall be checking it in and putting most of it in the basement freezer later this morning.

Hi Ed
Interesting observation that had not occurred to me, I wonder why ?
Exploding people, More likely that they will eat enough to split into two people
Have a Good Day

Pet Lemon law ? What a waste of time, most people that get a pet that has health issues have already become attached to their new pet and only want the seller to pay for issues as I understand it.
I wonder how that would affect those the give away pets, I include individuals and animal Shelters and Rescue organizations ?
From other posts I have seen here some of the ladies are giving up Chocolate or sweets for lent and since that starts on Ash Wednesday, They had to celebrate anything in that category by Fat Tuesday.I have daffodils blooming in my yard, and Daphne is already loaded with half open buds, as is my Mahonia. Spring must be soon, she said with her fingers crossed and HOPE in her heart!!!

I did see the image as a link to it with a thumbnail shows at the bottom of You post.
I have seen pictures of Daffodils blooming through patches of snow, they are pretty hardy. I hope You are correct regarding spring coming soon.
I have been to NOLA, however that was in January, AKA Off Season. I did much of my vacationing off season in January when You see the best lodging rates and low crowding and traffic.
I would sort of like to go, OTOH I'm not sure that would be a smart thing to do as I suspect that the low lifes are out in force for Mardi Gras.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
Happy Valentine's Day and also Happy Ash Wednesday. That should get a lot of people awfully conflicted. Beginning of 40 days of deprivation (for those who do Lent) combined with a day that is a traditional day of giving, receiving, and EATING, chocolate and other sweets. Can't exactly have it both ways today, can they?
A friend said she'd heard that a lot of people were actually asking for church dispensations for Valentine's day but really? That's not exactly how I remember dispensations normally working. One simply didn't ask for a dispensation just so they could eat chocolate or meat on a day when that's not supposed to be done, at least not without a better reason than "because we want to"...oh well, live and let live. I haven't participated in Lent for over 40 years so I'm not going to worry about it. I had a beef patty for breakfast so I'd have already messed up anyway. LOL.
Easter this year will be on April Fools' Day, so better check closely on what the bunny brings!
48 degrees out there now with an expected high of 62 and 20% chance of precipitation.
Need to clear the sink, maybe do some laundry. And might get out to Kroger but might not. We'll see.
And need to feed the cats. They're not being shy about reminding me either.

Good Wednesday Morning!
Ok, Ed...I did some reading last night. Now I understand the problem. Once, and only once did I ever give up sweets/chocolate..I was about 12 or so and in our Methodist church people who wanted to participate gave up something for lent. They really pushed the idea with my youth group. Believe me I was on a 'Bunny Watch' that year.
Yes Roger I too hope that the wealth of blooming going on in my yard is a good sign of Spring!...and yet that nagging picture of daffodils blooming in the snow won't leave the back of my mind..... Even though we are looking for some nice temps and rain. Tomorrow may be the pick of the bunch..forecast as 72 degrees and foggy!
Ok, I had to take a break there to check on laundry, which led to grabbing the sweeper becasue of lint on the floor, which led to doing the hallway, my bedroom, around the pet food dishes, dishes, ok, unload the hand washing drainer from last night,,,,etc,,,,
Ah Ha!! The United States just called me! Sometimes the things that come up on my phone are amusing!
Thats about the 3rd notification from this web site telling me you two are talking which means I will have lots of links, video's, cartoons etc to look at later.
Glad the lacto kale pix showed up, I'll send a bigger pix when I get back to the computer...
