Late checkin, it has been a looooooong day. I got laundry started then headed to kohls. Found a very nice winter coat, with the sale, coupon and 30% off it was $42! It is their Apartment 9 brand and was originally $180, but you never pay full price for anything at kohls, lol. Got the last of the gifts and while I was…

Mary Lynn, you moved me to tears. I will try to remember your words and these pictures if I ever think I don't have enough, when I think I am not enough and when I think I have not given enough, so I can give more. You are truly a blessing in my life and I feel humbled in your presence. Patti

Janet, welcome home. Wish you didn't have to drive so far but I know that Caleb time is worth it. Be kind to yourself and rest when you can. Bert, so glad you weren't hurt when you fell. Hope that Mike's fix is non surgical. I love the "sung out". Enjoy your treadmill time. Cindy, it sounds like you are getting healthier…

Had fun with Mom yesterday. Her chicken and noodles turned out great. Time just flies when we are together and all too soon she is telling me it is time to go home before it gets dark. She still worries like a mom, lol. Busy day at work then came home to watch my Broncos lose! Tomorrow is grocery shopping and laundry day.…

Good morning from the rainy Midwest. At least Janet will not be driving in the snow but will have some to look at along the way. Be safe my friend and give Caleb extra hugs and kisses from his virtual aunties! Karla, I like the crack best with saltines and I also used pecans that were chopped up. Everyone will love and…

Bert, don't know what to tell you about changing your sleep cycles. We all have an internal clock that we have little control over. The scale is another thing. It is hard to cut your ties with it but it can be done. How often are you weighing yourself? Start by doubling that amount of time for a while. So if WI daily, go…

Karla, thanks for the suggestions but my house would be worse as I have 5 steps to get onto the porch another large step to get into the house, plus no couch. We will do fine, she just gets nervous. I know this treatment will be ongoing indefinitely and so does she. It is just an adjustment for her. I do everything I can…

Good blustery and cold morning ladies. I just have 4 more small gifts to buy and will call it done. Let the wrapping begin. Karla, sending prayers for Jason and your eye situation. You need not worry about me making sure mom keeps her treatment up. I rescheduled her appointment that same day but they have no openings until…

Thanks Janet, but I think I never got over being a kid. Love coloring, cutting and pasting, lol. I was a bit disappointed with the special. They sang everything from last year's cd. Was really hoping to hear something new. But I still love them. Patti

What a fun day baking, laughing and eating. We have made a vow to never again make anything that requires a candy thermometer. Last year the fudge never set. This year the caramels and divinity didn't come out either. We decided the caramels were the fault of the recipe and the divinity was a combo of beating the egg…
-
A bit warmer here.....11! It is Yaya baking day, otherwise I wouldn't be leaving the house, lol. We will bake all day and then another friend of ours will bring dinner when she gets off work. So a day celebrating the season with the women I love best. It is so beautiful with everything covered in a blanket of fluffy snow.…

The snow is here, I am so not a fan but for those of you that suffer through the heat of summer with me I will do the same for you this time of year, lol. Cancelled mom's eye appointment this am. I will not take a chance of her falling. She was more scared about me driving on the bad roads. It's all about perspective.…

It was a quick 5 hour day at work. I am really loving it there. Janet, I know this is a rough time of year for you for so many reasons. So glad that you will be getting some Caleb time. He is certainly a heart stealer. Karla, good to see you back and happy birthday to your Izzy. I know Mom can't take any time off from her…
-
Good morning, rainy and cold here. Praying I don't get called off at work again but have back up plans just in case. Tomorrow mom has an early morning appointment for her next eye injection. She wants to take the winter off but I doubt the Dr will go along with that plan, lol. Spent some time in my craft room yesterday. I…

Happy snowy, cold Sunday to you all. I finally got this place looking like Christmas. I only put up about 1/4 of my usually decorations and Edd said "wow, I didn't know you had so much stuff!" I didn't have the heart to tell him how much is still boxed up in the basement, lol. No real plans for the day besides some…
-
Another unexpected day off. Got called off from work again. People just don't shop the craft stores when it is miserable out I guess. Hopefully I will get my hours in the rest of the week. I did get my cards all ready for the mail last night. So I guess I'm am going to put up some decorations. Too cool to go out if I don't…

Mary Lynn, so we'll put, as always.,yes, I am a work in progress and so many times I am too complacent with where my body is at the present moment. Need to really feel the desire to change it and that seems to be my current problem. Thanks for the push to think this one through and find the reason to want a change. Great…

Good evening, Mom and I watched 4 episodes of Good Behavior. It is so good, twists on twists and stars Michelle Dockery, Mary from Downton Abbey. The only chores were to change her sheets and run to Krogers for about 6 items. We had a great day together with lots of chatting and laughing. We decided that I will make a…

I think you could call me the opposite of the dawn patrol most days. Holy guacamole it is only 27 degrees out there! Bert, sorry about not having your family Christmas this year. We seem to have fewer and fewer showing up to ours but I know that is how it goes. The KY family use do come every year but have missed the past…
-
Mary Lynn, thanks for sharing such wise and insightful advise. Good day here, not the best with food, Steak and Shake fits my budget right now but not my diet. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Did have a light dinner and no breakfast so hoping it balances out. Hit 2 Walmarts and Costco. Now just have two gifts for some…

Hello all, having lunch with my besties, a bit of shopping and then getting my stripe removed and a trim. Letting my hair grow out and it is now to THAT stage. Hope I can hold on until it gets about shoulder length. Luckily my hair grows super fast. Working with the mother of my greatgrandbabies to get together for…
-
Got called off work. When it rains people don't shop! I am bummed. They didn't call until after I showered and put on my makeup, lol. Leftovers for dinner and up to my craft room I go. Mom was not feeling well so I didn't go to her house. If I had known I wasn't working I sure would have planned my day a lot differently,…

Good morning ladies, my dreams have been filled with fabric these days, but not in a bad way. Wish I had time to actually make all the things I make in my dreams, lol. Need to hit the bank, grocery, mailbox for Mom and then see what chores she might have for me today. My sis was supposed to take her to the grocery…

When you work with someone who has one speed ,and it is very close to standing totally still, it makes for a very busy and frustrating day. This is the same lady that "trained" me. She is so rude to customers and by golly when it was 5pm she walked away with nary a word to me. I stayed over because the other 5pm person was…
-
Good nights sleep because Edd was home. I like my alone time, just don't sleep soundly when I am the only one he. Do better if Frankie is with me. Working 12-5 today and 5-10pm tomorrow, then off until Saturday. Looking forward to hitting the gym Thursday and Friday and seeing all my buddies there. Karla, sorry you are…

Hello everyone, quiet Sunday here on the board. Hope everyone is enjoying their day. I worked my 5 hours and it flew by. I did get mom's towels made but not much else. Spent too. UHC time on the internet shopping I guess. Janet, sorry to hear you are not feeling your best. Hope a down day puts you to rights again. Glad you…
-
Nice quiet day here but have not been up to my room yet. Started doing my online research for Christmas gifts and am nearly done. Only have to venture out for a few gifts and gift cards. Hope they have cards at Krogers that I want because I get 4x fuel points for them. My DIL wants the power pressure cooker and I snagged…
-
Hi again, got my first paycheck today, whoohoo! Got 11K steps and the time just flew. Worked with an "expert" today. She has been there for 10 years and knows everything. I learned so much from her today. I did go in a bit early and familiarized myself better with the fabrics we carry and where they are located. Trying to…

TGIF ya'll Bert, the hardest thing to do is nothing when we see our loved ones making or not making decisions about their life and health. But the bottom line, it is up to him. You can try to guide and give input but he still has the final say. I hope he sees the light but all you can do is support him and gently push him…

Home, yeah! 5 hours flies by and I am averaging 10K steps in that time. Had several rude customers but so many more that are patient, kind and grateful for my assistance. The shoes worked out well. I found the same model on line and I think I am going to order them as a back up. I usually need to buy new ones every 6-8…
