Taste Like Chicken Monday 12/2

Chele, how's your weather today? I saw there were a lot of flight cancellations. We had "the s word" here this morning but none of it stuck. They did have 1.5 inches in Gatlinburg, however. How did Iggy's test and doctor's visit go? Hope all is well. The office gang must have liked his baklawa if it's making a return to the office so soon.

When will your ITBandz arrive, Becky? I hope they will work for you. Our wind finally died down during the night, but we are only up to 40 so far. Glad I have "tush toasters" in the car because I will have mine on for the trip tonight. Speaking of tush, how is yours? Definitely good the knees weren't impacted. Did you have PT today? Did they look at your thumb? I'll bet it hurts.

Kathy, do you think the interim FSU coach will get considered? Other than UF, he had a pretty good record since he took over. Did you get a drop in temperature? How goes your Christmas shopping?

I guess your neighborhood decorates early, Linda. I'll get to see Christmas lights in the city driving to and from the MG Christmas dinner tonight. I usually don't get out after dark. Did you have art class today?

Liz, how was your first day back? Did you do cabs back and forth from GCS? How much snow did you get in the city and at home? I saw either Albany or Buffalo on the a.m. news and it didn't look good. I don't think either of those cities is particularly close to you.

We have been working on paperwork for the RE agent since after I posted last night. I think we have it all done now, so I hope the house will be on the market this week and sold next week. Or is that too much to hope for? Their RE market is supposed to still be really strong and interest rates are relatively low. I spent the morning cooking pilaf and veggies for Arya. For some reason, I got more pilaf than usual, so I have 37 containers in the downstairs freezer. I even ran out of bowls and had to use jars for the last 5. That means I won't have to do another big cook until next year, but I'm worn out from all that time on my feet. So I'll rest until I have to get ready to leave. I also have the 2nd load of laundry in th washer, so I will take care of that before I leave. I hope we'll have a good turnout tonight. Gee, maybe someone else will decide they want to be president for next year. Yes, I think I must be dreaming on that one.

Karen, thanks for the start. I don't think FSU's interim coach will be seriously considered. I'm not sure why since he has done well and the players like him. It was in the 60s today and felt wonderful. It will be dropping into the 40s tonight, so brrrrrr! That would be a great Christmas present if the house sold. Hope it goes quickly. That was a lot of cooking! Ha on someone else wanting to be president. I'm thinking you are it. Hope the meeting goes well.

Chele, it seemed like the Black Friday deals were better than the Cyber Monday ones this time around. I checked a few sites where I need to buy a couple of things, but they didn't have any real deals up. How about you? It's sweater weather at last here for a few days. Hope all went well with Iggy's tests. DBIL is the same way as Iggy on the impulse buying when he goes to Costco. Hope the goldfinch is a regular.

Liz, so glad you worked from home! I was thinking about you today and worried about that commute in your weather. I was shocked to see that the Dolphins beat the Eagles. Not sure how that happened.

Linda, cute cartoon!

Becky, hope you're not too sore today.
