    Good afternoon;
    Roger-I went to the post office yesterday and didn't have to wait in line too long, about5-10min.
    Irene-I am interested to know what you think of the new foods. In my last order I got the lemon and butterscotch cakes. The butterscotch was ok, but I loved the lemon one, so I order 3 more.
    Hi Vix.
    I found a dime today.
    When hubby gets home we are off to the gym.
    Have a great evening. :)

    Hi all.
    Cold still has the best of me. I went to stained glass and pottery anyway because I wanted to finish up some gifts. I finished 3 glass dove ornaments and picked up my pottery bird and ornament that was fired during the week. I burned a finger with the soldering iron, I'm a little off my game with this cold. Luckily there is an aloe plant in the room, so I broked off a piece and put the gel on my finger which helped a little. I have gifts to sort through and packages to wrap, and still have to figure out the rest of what I'm cooking for Friday night. At least it's only Tuesday! Hopefully this stupid cold will ease up.
    Happy Tuesday, everyone. Jingle bells!

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 23 degrees. On the Other Hand there was no breeze blowing thus despite being 10 degrees colder it was comfortable while walking.

    good morning, roger I didn't receive that e-mail but most of the food on the list as a rule I don't order. Tonight for dinner I am having chicken marsala I will let you know what I think about it. We went for our walk this morning and it wasn't as windy as it is now . I did 31 minutes on the treadmill will be taking Annie out for another walk. I might wrap gifts this afternoon I need to start. Roger hope your post office isn't too busy. Zix hope you are feeling a little relief. Hey Jo how is work going I am sure it has started to get busy. Take care everyone
    Hi Irene
    I wonder why I get the email and You do not, They must have Your email address.

    I do, Well Did order a Sweet and Sour Chicken, one per order :(
    As well as a couple of the Ricotta Crepes and the two Dinner pasta dishes now and then for a change of taste :(

    I could not believe it, I parked, Walked into the post office and there was not only no line there was no one at the counter, Yay!

    You were Lucky with the wind, I had the Hood on the Hoodie tied tight around my face and walking into the wind the wind was still blowing into it and freezing my ears.

    Have a Good Day
    Roger

    Hi Joanne
    FWIW
    I like the Cherry Cheese Roll breakfast, The Cinnamon Raisin Bagel is OK but smaller than the Honey Wheat Bagel, I also like the Breakfast Five Seed Roll it makes a nice change.

    I have not tried the Egg White Spinach Crepe Lunch yet.

    I just looked at the Dinner foods and I see 6 marked as new now.

    I see more New Items in the Snacks too, Whee :smiley:
    I also like the Cinnamon Coffee Cake, I can't wait to try all the new foods. However I have to much in the freezer to move up my order date to this year :wink:

    As You can see from my post to Irene, I had no waiting at the Post Office which really surprised me.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Vix
    I'm sorry to hear that You still have the cold, Get Well Quickly.

    The last burn I had was when I went to take something I was microwaving out of the M/W and steamed my finger. It was bad enough to hurt for several days and then the old skin has peeled and the new skin is OK.

    I have a couple of things to wrap, maybe today or tomorrow, not that I'm procrastinating or anything like that :blush:

    I'm sure You will figure out a menu before Friday

    Cheers
    Roger

    Good morning.
    I think I wrapped all the presents last night that I have, and printed out pictures of the backordered items. Several of the items did not contain the gift receipts they were supposed to. Oh well.
    I think I kept my husband up last night with my cold, so I got up early this a.m. and am sipping on hot tea with honey. May try and see a dr today to see if the cold needs some help to go away.
    It's frosty out this morning. I will try to straighten up the house today a little. Cleaning lady is coming on Friday. I don't like to leave clutter.
    Happy Wednesday, everyone. :)

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 26 degrees. I am not liking the forecast for later today and Friday. Rain is supposed to move in this afternoon and be heavy through tomorrow and linger into early Saturday. Hopefully that forecast which I saw yesterday is wrong and the rain is not as bad as forecast.

    Hi Vix
    Congratulations on getting the gifts wrapped, I have been procrastinating doing that. I have to Gifts coming that should be here before Christmas and that means I am done :wink:

    I would never have thought of Pictures for delayed gifts, Clever. I never think of Gift Receipts :(

    The Hot Tea with Honey should sooth the throat if nothing else.

    I have a sneaky suspicion that there are some people out there that stop cleaning ahead of the Cleaning Service Visit, I could also be wrong.

    Good Luck making the Cold Go Away.

    Hi Irene
    I had not though about that, I may have gotten the email due to having some of those on my order, that makes sense, Good Idea on Your part.

    I tend to do that also, if it shows low stock and may be substituted I also change my order since I am somewhat afraid of what they might substitute.

    Thank You for the quick review of the chicken marsala, My next NS order has been moved up since I called Yesterday and asked about saving some money and they took $50 off of the upcoming order, that meant that it had to be moved up to Jan 15th. I will need to adjust the order and be sure there is enough room in the freezer, That means eat the Bigger Dinner Entrees first for example. The Frozen Pizzas are the second smallest with the stuffed Chicken Breast dinners being the smallest. I may have to cut back on the frozen Snacks, I will have to see how the freezer looks next year as I near the 15th. I think for the following order I will inquire about switching to the Weekends on Your own as long as I can switch back in the future and keep my Discounts, That's for next year however.

    Not a favorite thing to here either that is why I have been putting the Gift Wrapping off.

    You are a Saint going to the Hospital to see the ill.

    Have a Nice Day
    Roger

    Good morning.
    Frosty out, but warming up to mid 40s later. Cloudy with periods of rain.
    I ended up going to see a physician's assistant yesterday, and starting taking an antibiotic last night, so hopefully this cold will start to clear up.
    Art class this morning, and they're having their holiday lunch. I'm going to skip it. I think I will just stop by to pay for the next session and wish everyone a happy holiday. I don't want anyone to catch this nasty cold. Besides, I have a lot to do around the house. It still looks like a mess!
    Happy Thursday, everyone. :)

    good morning, Roger I did see on the news about the glitter bomb ,I loved it so many are stealing other peoples stuff they need to get a job and buy there own stuff. Did I ever tell you about the time someone stole my ns off my front porch I had to file a police report then ns sent me a new shipment .Roger I think I get more out of it I come away feeling good.

    Good evening;
    Irene-I haven't noticed the lower calorie count. I will have to pay more attention in the future.
    Vix-I hope the antibiotics kick in quickly and that you feel better soon.
    Roger-Thanks for the review on the food. I did order a seeded roll in my next order and all of the new items. I am not fond of cherry, so I didn't order the cherry roll.
    Two more days of work and then I am on vacation until next year. :)
    Have a good evening.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 58 degrees and 60 degrees on my return. The rain in the forecast arrived on schedule and was falling at a moderate rate while I was walking. So far so good with the wind gusts predicted for later today with gusts in the 50MPH range.

    Hi Vix
    Yesterday was OK locally with the rain having already moved into the western part of the state by lunchtime. Here at the house it moved in a bit before 4PM. It must have moving slow.

    Good idea, a Cold or the Flu is not a gift to give for the holiday, Hopefully You get well quick now.

    Good Luck with the Antibiotic

    I do not recall mentioning a stolen package, Was that in Trenton when You were working ?
    I really need to eat my NS too, since the next order is coming up mid January. I may reduce some of the things I normally order and add the new one to try, the new Dinner Entrees all look so tasty.
    Roger and Jo have you noticed that the dinners are lower calories?

    I did indeed notice that, It can't hurt as long as they are filling. I have no way to know if the lower calories are due to smaller portions or selected ingredients that contribute to that.

    If You got out walking today I hope You stayed dry, I was actually feeling a bit warm under the rain gear :(

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Joanne
    The Cherry Roll is a very mild taste FWIW.

    I like the Seeded Roll a little better than the new Frozen bagel too. I wonder how they would be with a little butter melting in after heating, Hmm...

    I can't wait to try the Cheese-steak Pizza :blush:

    Whee, Vacation, Enjoy :wink:

    Have a Nice Day and Enjoy the days off
