Today had been a great day, buying only $45 worth of groceries, so my dear husband took me to our favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch. I chose wisely and got two tacos. No sour cream, or guacamole just beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and some cheese. I did order a Coke, but it was better than a beer. I was home putting away the…

Katla~ I hope your travels are smooth sailing. We are awaiting the storm they say will happen. School recording call today saying no school tomorrow. A snow day? My son will be thrilled! Becca

Well my belly is still processing all the goodies from the TOPS party this evening.... I made soup and toasted cheese sandwiches for the guys, and I had a cup of coffee... Husband and I are hoping that my son can convince his recruiter tomorrow when he calls him for his weekly update phone call, that going up to Longview…

Today was my TOPS meeting and I was a turtle, (which means that I did not lose or gain for this past week). I will TAKE it!! We had a gift exchange and all twenty of us sat in a circle and as one lady said "Twas the Night before Christmas story" (she added lefts' and rights' in the story so we were passing like crazy…

Karen in Virginia~ Yep I love our black phone! We have another phone in the bedroom attached to phone answering, and we have to use that one because when phone calls say to press 1 for this....the rotary phone just doesn't know how... We found a little side table/seat set up and I have all the phone books, my plastic index…

Katla I have a plastic little file folder and have made one for MFP's personal info. It's nice to know people in states I have never visited, and the possibility of having lunch or just coffee with some of you is exciting! So if I am in your neck of the woods I will give you a heads up a couple of days beforehand, and…

Gloria still waiting for snow in WA ~ We are about an hour and a half from Hillsboro, but maybe we can meet at Camp 18 Restaurant one day? Unfortunately our little car isn't too great on snow or ice, so it would have to be in the springtime. It's a restaurant off Hwy 26, wonderful place! We are, truth be told, kind of like…

Katla in Beautiful NW Oregon~ I know that if I want to see a play or something, I can't just poof be at the Arlene Switzer? (spelling) Hall and see it. But I can see stuff at the Liberty Theater, and that is special in its own right. I do have a Fred Meyers, but our dear baker passed away in Astoria, so I'm sad about that,…

Lenora~ I rec'd the picture of your sweet Cracker, and have it on the Advent Calendar felt tree. I will take a picture of it during the middle of the month. Sadly, Photobucket, the site I use to download pictures from the camera then highlight them to post on here is really slow and laggy. It takes me about 30 minutes to…

Sherry~As a fellow Oregonian, I am sooooo glad you were able to move outside of the hectic-ness of Portland. Whenever we have to go in for husband's appointments, I abhor the traffic, the pace, and tempo of that city. I did work downtown during the late 1980's and loved it, but it was a different time, and I was a single…
-
Janetr OKC ~ So sorry about your rude stepsons' behavior. At 40 yrs old he ought to know better! You should have taken pictures before you cleaned, then price a cleaning company, making stepson pay for THAT! I am such a meanie but he SAID he was going to keep the place up while you were gone. He totally reneged on that…

Good day to each of you from the northern tip of Oregon! Well paid bills today, and I got them all paid, but wow, what a mental rollercoaster I go on. I'm off it, just trying to come down from it all.... I revised my shopping list and deleted many of my options. I need to realize that I don't need to buy my hearts desires,…

Michele in NC ~ If I were in your shoes, about trying to have a certain family come for Christmas (one that doesn't) I would put the invite out there, and then not stress about it. Tell the family that you wish to have come visit, that your door is open for the holidays. I am a firm believer that visiting isn't just for…

Oh remember a while ago, I mentioned that I took all my Christmas decorations, split them into 3 piles for each of my sons? Well, I have decided that this is the last time I will use all my decorations. When my sons are here, they can take turns taking what they wish from the decorations. I figure what they think is…

Oh my gosh make this rain stoooop please... Every darn house along the route to our community center has an impromptu koi pond in the front.....The river that meanders around is up to capacity, and all the ditches are overflowing. Granted, we live on ground that is 99% sand, so in a day or two it will soak all in. Husband…

Carey, just a heartfelt warning. I had a friend that did the hot stone massage, and has burn marks on his back to prove it. Just ask a lot of questions, is my only concern. Becca
