Happy Day All!
I can't believe I slept until 8! That's unheard of for me. As a result, I don't have much time.
BettyJ - I'm so very glad you got to go to the Christmas party. Good for you for braving the driving part!
That's the only personal I'm going to do except to wish those with colds, aches and pains, a better day.
Yesterday I crashed for some reason. Did nothing productive except make Brunswick Stew which was really good.
Today we're off in about an hour to pick up DS and go to DGD's in Atlanta. DDIL is already there and we're all going out to eat at the Korean buffet. Yippee! We'll get to see the two DGGSs and enjoy them a bit before the hectic Christmas Day.
After being 55 here yesterday morning, it's 28 this morning.
See you all tomorrow - have a good day!

Good morning. Another Monday and off to rehab this afternoon. Got ambition yesterday and did some cleaning, laundry and finished squaring up my quilt blocks. Not enough for the size I wanted so will stop at Joanns today to get some more purple fabric. Maybe I can find some remnants or short quarters.
Continues to be very cold here. Suppose to get a little break by mid week.
Have a good day. bettyj

Good morning Penny & ATF,
Yesterday in Dsis's town it was 64 in the morning. We went to breakfast with just a long sleeve sweater. It was beautiful. All the snow from the previous day disappeared. They got about 1". As I was driving back home I was watching the temperature in my car go down. By the time I got home before noon the gauge read 54 and it was drizzling. Sun was out by DSis. We are only 1 hr. & 15 mins. Away from each other. Then I went to see TJ and they had more snow than all of us. Roads were cleaned to the blacktop. Had a nice visit.
At Dsis 's house we finished up all our Christmas shopping and had a nice visit. Of course, cards & wine were involved.
Today laundry, start wrapping and at 2pm I'm going to watch the twins while DD takes their dog to the Vet for her checkup.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everyone,
Last relaxing day for this week. Plumbers will be here tomorrow through Friday to take out guest bathtub/ shower one piece and frame it for drop in tub with shower. New soaking tub gets delivered tomorrow. Walk in shower gets shower head installed so we can use it. Excited to take first shower in there.
Today going to Lamps Plus to return a mirror that was for guest bathroom. Changing size. I want mirror to be as wide as counter now. Was thinking about it just being 24" wide behind sink area. Need 42 x 30 inches. Could not think of something good to put on wall next to mirror. So it is easier to just get a bigger mirror. Lol. I have a second one also to return for that room but waiting to make sure because I really like this one.
Will be so glad when all buying decisions are over. Getting close.

I am feeling a little better, the body aches are calming down a bit and not hot flashes. Not going to over do it today but do need to go get one more present for the package I have to send. It is sunny and will wait until it warms up just a bit and will sure roads are okay. When mine looks good the rest are even better. !! It was 12° when I got up this morning but to be 21° high.
I did get a couple presents wrapped yesterday and am hoping to make some of my candy this week. Will make up some small packages for 2 of my neighbors that do eat candy. Since the divinity and sea foam tend to dry out will do them last and have the ingredients to make chocolate fudge and peanut butter fudge. Also penuchi which sometimes turns out for me and other times not so much. I usually end up making them at night. Not sure why just seems like I always have.
Waiting on hair to dry and then will take off. Maybe stop at ARBY's is tummy is still feeling pretty good. This 'Stuff' doesn't seem to be a tummy problem. But no appetite to amount to much. That's kind of a good thing.

Connie - hope you continue to feel better. I have had a few friends that have had it.
Penny - sounds like a great day today. Enjoy
Peggy Sue - I have not ever had a bone density test. Maybe I should have one.
Emily - I am almost finished also Christmas shopping. Only one more gift and she wants a gift card. This year I did 90% online shopping. Was wonderful.
Phyl- all this talk about quilting is encouraging me to try a new craft. I have everything here to learn how to do paper quilling. Want to decorate small hinged boxes. Another craft I want to start is using costume jewelry to create pictures, cover mirror frames and hinged boxes. Gorgeous and I have tons of costume jewelry from my moms nod mother in law.
Today I am back to tracking, weighing and measuring. I have gained 2 pounds since September. Will feel good to be watching portion control. Eating to many carbs.

Morning All!
I’m a bit perplexed by Ms. Lily’s pinched nerve. I’m not quite sure I’m not being played. Last night about a half hour after I turned out the light she started moaning and dancing again. I tried not to respond and she moaned louder. I always bring a ¼ slice of American cheese up with me in case I have to give her a pill and I think she just wanted the cheese. When I didn’t respond to her cries she got down off the bed and started throwing her stuffed animal all over the bedroom. Then she found her bone and started throwing that around. She finally brought that up on the bed and started to chew “loudly”. When I remained quiet she came up to the top of the bed and blew in my ear. When that didn’t get her anywhere, she nosed her way under the covers and curled up next to me and went to sleep. I have no doubt that she does get tingly in her feet from the pinched nerve, but I wonder how often these “attacks” are born out of boredom and not an actual physical problem. I know I sound crazy, but the princess has always been a bit of an actress and she knows Mom is a softy where she’s concerned.
I did some wash yesterday and started to get the dining room table set up, laid out serving trays, serving spoons and stuff. I put my grocery order in for delivery on Tuesday. I have to finish the wash today and then do some more prep work. My Amazon Echo played Christmas music all day.
I’m kind of glad that everyone is feeling tired, because I thought it was just me and I was getting worried. How did I do all this before, while working and taking care of my brother – all at the same time? And I cooked for 12 on Christmas day too! Don’t get me wrong, I love my family and I want to give them a holiday to remember with laughter and good times. But boy . . . . .
Penny what is Brunswick stew? Something different from the regular old beef stew? Explain please. You are increasing my vocabulary. First it was a new kind of oranges, now Brunswick stew? Did the recipe come from Brunswick? Explain please.
Emily glad you had a good time with your sister. Precious moments. Share and treasure them.
Marilyn love the new picture of your dog. What a beauty.
Well time to get my day started. Everyone have a great day!
Dayle

Dayle - she might be just wanting attention. After a few nights ignoring her it will most likely stop. If Abby wakes up during the night I do not acknowledge it unless I know she is sick. She always goes back to sleep. She sleeps in a 42" black wire crate with fluffy pad inside. Amazing how they can get into a habit quickly. Especially if they get cheese. If I had cheese in the room she would not leave me alone until she ate it. Lol
Well... Need to get off of sofa and start my day.

Marilyn, I've seen a cute cartoon about dogs sleeping through everything except the wrapper coming off of a piece of cheese. Brenna shifts hersleeping places, on the bed, under the bed and on her bed by the window in the bedroom. During the day she is usually with me in the living room.
Gloomy, chilly day here today after a week end of sun and 80's. Can't complain after seeing temps and weather in the rest of the country.
Have a load of clothes waiting to be folded, you all have a great day.

9 degrees when I got up this morning!! For some reason, my Fitbit was no longer connecting to my computer. Was to my cell phone, just not to the computer. A good day to mess with it. Contacted Service, and we eventually (an hour) got it rehooked up. Had tp totally uninstall, then reinstall. BUT, starting from 0. Add, it messed up my cell's, so had to uninstall that as well. That was at least easy. Was NOT a good day to have the great grandson. He learned some new phrases!!

Micki does stuff like that if he is bored and wants attention. If I had cheese, he would not give up and would know it from two rooms away out of a sound sleep.
i have been lucky up until Sat. Night. First seasonal migraine hit along with the seasonal air pollution. Sunday was ok, but I got to coughing every time I slid down the pillows last night and was awake a lot in spite of drinking hot stuff to clear it out. Took a half pill at 3 and woke up with the headache at 11 AM, which kind of shot half a day.
got to grocery and pet food stores, made the new recipe for cherry chocolate chips...good, kind of crusty sugary top, but I am going to ha echo farm some out..got 4 dozen with teaspoon of butter in each. We have been eating German bakery goodies. Got to knock that off!
