Good morning. Up very early...DD2 asked if we coud babysit today, since the kids are out of school for the holiday. At least DH agreed to run and get them, but still had to get up early. I hope I can stay awake all day, lol!
Marlene, I hate those expensive bananas! Lol!!! We used to laugh at my mother, back in the day, she would say she was running to the store, just needed a few things...she would walk in the house with 4 grocery bags! Like I said, we would laugh at her...but of course I turned into my mother!!!! You said you were going to bake yesterday...what did you bake?
Phyl, have you gotten the ice yet? All of our icky weather is not supposed to get here till later in the day. I agree with Marlene, if you have the chance to go on a cruise to Alaska, GO! That is a trip that DH and I would give our eye teeth to go on.
What can I say...HOW ABOUT THEM PACKERS? Oh my goodness, what a game!!! That was a game that I was nervous about, before hand. That Crosby!!! What a clutch kicker!! Even after the cowboys tried icing him! Next up: The Burning of Atlanta!!! Lol! Did you see that they had to shelter in place after the game? They had tornado warnings in that area.
Time to get a cup of coffee...have a great day.

Wish I knew why I keep losing posts. Some of the keys are in a different place - not the alphabetical ones but the others. I think there are more of those 'other' keys too. Whatever the reason, I'm the loser:(
Per usual I didn't watch the game but did see the two field goals at the end. I have seen many teams call a time out at a crucial time like that - college & professional. Must have been a good game & I'm sure your cheering Karen helped the green & gold. Too bad the Cowboys lost. After spending 12 winters in TX, I may be part Texan!
Not sure what I'll be doing today. I moved all my plants, that I'm trying to save for planting in the spring, to the porch again. With the warmer temps moving in this week, they'll get more light there & being more visible will get a drink more frequently. Wonder if the people that are to come this morning to measure for the new vanity top will make it with the icy roads, but they have been salting like crazy all the streets around us.
The cake I made yesterday is called a Heath Bar cake. It's a buttermilk cake with broken pieces of Heath bar & pecans on top. Very simple to make & very good to eat. I need to quit eating this stuff cause the scale is going up:(
I finished DH's socks yesterday & he's wearing them today. He's just like a little kid having to wear/use right away whatever new thing he gets. I will start a pair for me next. I took the weekend off from cooking so will make beef with mashed potatoes & a veggie for supper. I think I'm entitled to a day off occasionally & I'm protesting for more!
Have a great day & NO falls.

morning, no ice yet. looks like most of it is going south of us. might get some rain this afternoon. have to go to my diabetes class. wonder how much has changed since 2001.
that was a great nail biting game toward the end. I sure was praying or hail Mary's. seems like when Aron sits out for awhile is when the packers start going down. now hope the steelers can beat the patriots. everybody I know wants the patriots. to be beat.
well better have some lunch and go. phyl

They came & measured for the vanity top before lunch. They wouldn't give me an approximate date that it would be done, but when I said HD told us 4 weeks, he thought it could be sooner. He said I'm ahead of the rush season when tax refunds start coming. I won't get my hopes up but would be nice sooner than later.
Raining this afternoon, but we hadn't planned to go anywhere. The vanity I ordered from HD is in but I can take care of that tomorrow. SIL is doing the texturizing on the walls today & will paint tomorrow. Hope I like the paint I chose after I have four walls of it. It doesn't always look the same on, compared to the samples. I picked a color one shade darker than the lightest they had. So far, except for the shower, it's all been about removal. Now the final & more noticeable stage starts!
