Why did DH set the alarm? Going to have a cold front pass through this weekend here in Florida, nothing like the rest of the country. Predicting a freeze overnight. It's dreary, hopping to squeeze in a walk before lunch with the girlfriends and going to see Hidden Figures. Also, taking down the trees. Having pork tenderloin and sweet potatoes for dinner. Scale has stayed the same all week and I have been good, sigh
Happy Saturday

Good Morning!
Was hoping for a little snow but just cold and rainy so far. Will be at home today doing chores and staying warm. Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend:)

Good morning! Got to clean the house for the potential housecleaner, LOL, (I not only have 🐶, I have a litter of dust bunnies) but she's not coming until 3, so some time to lounge...two days of productivity has me not feeling so ashamed of the shape of things, though long way from settled. Finding the printer in the basement and getting it set up is the only thing on the agenda for now.
My food felt good yesterday, more *real* food, less snacks. I'm a snacky eater anyway, and no question, it doesn't take much to get my on the slippery slope. I was using a food delivery service once a week in Salem and picked up an order before I left on Thursday. I'm *thinking* Thursdays need to become a cooking day for me 😬 but I will think about it tomorrow at Tara.
I was SO proud of myself for driving into Boston in the dark last night to meet J, but was so glad I did; the service was almost two hours, and the bus would have added a lot to that....don't have a night sitter to check on Miss yet! But, we had a good time, and I found a meter, so didn't have to pay for a lot. Meant to be!
Have a good one!

Good Saturday to All. We have our first snow and it is pretty out there. Still snowing. Just an inch or so right now. We are in the 1-3 inch zone and on the line of 3-6. Shouldn't be too bad and it seems easy to walk in as I noted when getting the paper this morning.
So I will wait for it to warm a tiny bit and head out. Love to walk in the quiet of a soft snow!
Went to a great restaurant for an unexpected dinner out last night. Fabulous salmon with polenta along with fresh broccoli and a bit of kale. Topped off with a glass of wine. Stayed OP and enjoyed it greatly.
Got the Oprah cookbook from Amazon yesterday. I read recipe books more than make them. As noted by others it is odd that it has Smart Points but not full NI information. It is a "lovely book" and would make a nice gift. I can't say I would rush out to buy it if you are on the fence but if you collect cookbooks it is nice.
Off to figure out what to get into today and to go for the snow walk. |

Good morning all! Wow, it was 19 degrees here this morning. Clear but the rain moved off yesterday so the roads were clear and dry. But, 19 is the lowest temp we've had in 3 years! It will repeat the cold temp. tomorrow and then it will warm up. Houston is not made for these temps. I know, stop whining!!
No plans for the day. I guess that means a little house cleaning is in order. Tonight I'll be watching the Debbie Reynolds/Carrie Fisher special on HBO tonight. Saw a preview and it looked good.
Hope everyone has a restful Saturday.

I almost set my alarm too. How great it feels when you realize you don't have to.
It is snowing lightly in my part of NJ. It won't add up to much, though.
I haven't been sleeping well for about 3 weeks or so now. It hasn't affected my energy, but in general a good night sleep makes me feel overall better.
My planned start back on my diet yesterday didn't work out completely, but at least I wasn't that off course. I'll do better today.

Unfortunately my part of NJ is supposed to get the worst of the snow. I'm taking Charlie for his preop blood work in a few minutes. I think our "locked room" adventure and dinner will likely be cancelled tonight. I have a back up dinner plan. Stay safe and warm everyone!

Good morning. Again, I've got you all beat with the weather, something I really don't care to do.  It is 28 below this morning! There is a wind chill advisory too, but at the moment there is not a breath of air stirring. I do have to say it is pretty out, with lots of white snow and a pink sky from the soon to be sunrise. I'm going to make a pot of soup this morning so I can have some for lunch. Also put a few Christmas decorations away, but I think I'll leave up the ones that are suitable for winter, such as a wreath of pine cones and berries, wintry but not Christmasy. This afternoon I'm going to venture out and go to town for Mass. |
