Snow – I’d be happy if it would snow everywhere except the street. It IS nice to look at. But I must say I’m glad to be in NC where they are religious about their snow...God put it here, God will take it away. And He usually does by about 11a.m. Lisa – I sent annie a note here on MFP but it wouldn’t surprise me if she…

Rode the exercise bike for 1-1/2 hr yesterday. I tell you, I really had to push myself to get started. Hopefully, it won’t be that much longer Jennifer – you did a fantastic job on the kitchen. Yea for no cancer!!!! Vince just got back from finishing his shopping and the last 2 gifts that need to be wrapped came. Finally!…

My sinuses have been acting up. Well, not unusual since the weather is changing. Of course, was up in the middle of the night. Totally normal. After work stopped and got Ken his card. I probably won’t get the oranges until Sunday. Brought home another big box from BK. We’ll use them to put things in to take to Jess so that…

Went to the Y and did a body pump DVD then because I was running late, only took ½ hr in the pool. Then went to WalMart for a few things, brought them home and put them away, bought gas and went to the podiatrist. He said that my “callous” is looking good. Every once in a while I feel a little “twinge” but it doesn’t last…

Well, got just about everything wrapped. Carol – most of my ceramics are at least 9” tall, some larger. I think I do have a few that are only 7” and Eyore and Piglet (which I haven’t done yet) are probably smaller. Trust me, a steady hand I do not have. I go by the 5 foot rule...if it looks good from 5 feet away, it’s good…

While the crust of the chocolate dessert for Jess was cooling we went thru the Christmas gifts. The only other thing I have to buy is a birthday card for Ken. We’re waiting for a list from Jess to buy for her. Vince ordered things for Colby today and he’s going to take care of buying for the cats and dogs. Afterward, made…
-
Heather – the cups are gorgeous Did a load of laundry and then Jillian Michaels Total Body Transformation DVD then rode the exercise bike. How I miss going on my walks! I did consult Dr. Google last night and he said to use Aleve on my heel and to ice it. Can’t hurt, that’s for sure. So as I type this, I’m icing my heel…
-
Tracey – evidently, replacing the circuit breaker wasn’t a big deal at BK. I’m glad for them. Tues. Vince went to get his oil changed at this place that is right next to BK. They said they couldn’t do it because they didn’t have any water. When I went to work Thurs I asked if they’d been without water and the store manager…
-
Kim – I really don’t want to take the chance with the coconut oil. Jess is allergic to coconuts. No one here is vegan, etc. so that is good. Just not sure if solid Crisco or Lard is better for use in the deep fat fryer. Just looked it up. Crisco’s smoke point is 440 while Lard’s is 370. So looks like I’ll be using the…

Jess called to say that she was stuck in traffic so we kept the animals another day. She came here Mon after work, gave her a pulled pork sandwich and the pulled pork I got from the soup kitchen and she went back. We just made the pierogi (50 of them). I’m thinking that I may try making to crusciki with the pasta maker,…
-
Rebecca – lovely village. Love the jewel tree, are those special jewels? They had bbq at the soup kitchen and couldn’t save it to Monday (not sure why) so I got some to take home and give to Jess when she comes Sun to get the animals. I’m getting to know Ganon’s signals (when he needs to go out) and the cats are more and…
-
Rori – I had a great trip vicariously thru you. Thank you. Sounds heavenly Tracey – I DO NOT want to continue with this “no walking”. It’s driving me up a wall. Well, I remember the guy who made the orthotic talked about this cork they can put on it so that there will be much less pressure. The podiatrist also mentioned…
-
Did HIIT then went in the pool. I cut my workouts short since it still takes me a while to get around. After the Y went to Food Lion since Vince needed soda. I need to go to the FL by me since that one didn’t have the crab that I wanted (BOGO) Went for my shot of Prolia. Tomorrow is the dermatologist Jennifer CT – praying…
-
Mo – I forgot to bookmark Dec and had to go back to MFP’s homepage. Fortunately, this thread goes so fast that it was on the first page. What part of FL are you going to? How long will you be there? Will we hear from you while you’re down there? Rebecca – I had never heard of levske so I looked it up. They look really…
-
Kylia – why do you hate your air fryer? I have a lid for my IP that is an air fryer lid. Works quite well. Only thing is, you can’t make a whole lot at any one time, but you can make enough for 2 people. The other thing that’s real good in the IP is rice. It comes out so fluffy. Mashed potatoes are another thing that’s…

Did a Total Body Fat Burning Workout DVD then part of the Classical Stretch DVD, then rode the bike, then to Aldi then WalMart. Wrote out the Christmas cards. The list is getting shorter and shorter jenferbar – welcome! Annie – I do think the podiatrist is helping. When I go back Tuesday, I’m going to ask him if there’s a…

TG was fine. There were 8 of us. I was a bit worried that Ken & Lynette would begin the “I love you” stuff, but they were surprisingly good. Not a whole lot of leftovers. Gave some to Jess and some to Lynette, gave some to C and N Deb – sure hope your experience with a tree with new kittens turns out better then…
-
Deb – we got most of the tree put together only to find out that it was missing like 5 pieces and without those you couldn’t get the rest of the tree together. It IS pretty AND big, tho. Have the baked ziti in the oven right now. As soon as the cheese melts, we’ll eat. I’ll just heat up the rest of the garlic bread that I…
-
Heather – best of luck to Edie Here it is, Thurs. I did a piiates DVD then made the stuffing, peeled the potatoes, grated the cheese for the mac & cheese tomorrow. This afternoon I’ll probably go out and help Vince put out the small Christmas trees near the log cabin. We probably wouldn’t have used the log cabin this year…
-
Worked today and the store mgr asked me to work tomorrow (my usual day off). She has to go to a meeting and I believe the asst. mgr (who I think probably does a little prep when I’m not there) is on vacation. I probably won’t give them as many tomatoes as that’s something that you want fresh. Everything else can hold a day…
-
Tracey – yes, Jess is a vet. But I guess she can’t argue with the need for moisture. Probably can’t hurt. I just don’t see it as really necessary. Oh, the memories don’t go away. Here we are – 60 years later – and I still miss my mother and reminisce about our short time together. Just got back from ceramics. The decal for…

Did Jane Fonda’s Firm & Burn DVD (a new one for me. A Salvation Army find), then some of the Total Stretch DVD, then rode the exercise bike downstairs. Like you know, I usually like to go for a walk, but I’m trying to stay off my foot as much as possible so I rode the bike today instead. Then had to go to WalMart. ?Then to…
-
Tracey – I really wish I knew how to drive a standard. Hilarious plates Same for me – others saying what I was going to say Got up, took Ganon out to just relieve himself. Jess must have taken him out later the night before because he didn’t have to go quite that bad when I took him. Took him a while to find “the” spot.…
-
Tracey – I wore the splint last night. But not for that long. Soup kitchen today. It was COLD outside, but surprisingly we didn’t have a lot of guests inside. It was pretty steady. Some days it seems to come in spurts. But I did get to take some tomatoes home and some pineapple that they’d put out for the guests but no one…
-
Got the splint today and put it on for a little, just to get adjusted, etc. It seems that my heel pain is reduced. Now was it the splint? I don't know. But I'll wear it tonight. Michele NC
-
Did a spinning workout and then went in the pool for an hour. It’s so good to be back at exercise at the Y. I just realized that BK is closed Thanksgiving so I can exercise that day! Yea! I’ll go to the Y the day before and do some HIIT and then on Thurs I’m thinking that I’ll do pilates Rori – telling us about your time…
-
Barb – the bottle was upright in the freezer. Right now most of the foot feels so much better except for my heel. Congrats on the weight loss. Vince was saying tonight how he lost weight a few years ago and has only put back on 2lbs. Grrrrr….. I invited Lynette here for dinner the day after Thanksgiving two weeks ago. Last…
-
Tracey – that is the exact brace that I was looking at! GMTA What do you mean by “the instructions say you should leave it all night?” You shouldn’t wear it all night, is that what is meant? Well, we got the controllers out, the log cabin, lights on the front of the yard. I’m so glad that now Vince is doing a little at a…
-
Allie – the bottle of water froze where the bottle is flat so it doesn’t roll. Back to the ball. The worst part of this PF (besides the pain) is that I’ve had to curb my walking around the block barbie – I’m so sorry Jake will need surgery. You are strong, you’ll get this Just got back from ceramics. Will take a shower in…
-
Tere – you’ve been thru so much. We’re especially grateful that you’re here now This morning they had a fire in one of their fryers at BK. That must have been so scary – a grease fire! Allie – I put a bottle of water in the freezer last night. Off to bowling! Michele NC
