Morning all,
Busy, busy, busy! I have so much to do. I just checked into the hotel online. I did online check in with the airline and printed our tickets. I have to go to WW for WI, exchange a sweatshirt for DS, go to Bed bath and beyond for coffee of all things. I have to clean the house and do laundry. Later I have to travel to the Bronx and get DD from college. I hope to be home before 7 so I can go to sleep so I can be up at 2:30. I just saw that boarding is at 5:55 and the gates close at 6:15. We live an hour away from the airport. I'm sure parking won't be easy at that time either. LOL BREATHE! One load of laundry just finished it's cycle.
I will have a gain at WI, probably the amount I'd lost last week. I've been snacking on some chocolate and it's T.O.M. I also wasn't able to exercise as much as I'd like due to the hip, which is back to normal!
This trip is driving me crazy. We are totally winging it. I've hardly got any dining reservations, no real plans on what parks to visit or things to do. I've never been like this!
The weather is absolutely freezing here. Hopefully our trip tomorrow will be uneventful. I haven't checked the weather here, only in FL. Geez, Doreen! It's hot down there!
Nancy, sounds like you finally had a nice lunch with your friend. It's nice getting together with friends.
Doreen, ugh on DH! Hope he's feeling better?
Dropped Doug the Doodle off at the kennel last night. I didn't want to leave! It's like dropping off a child at daycare for the first time and they just toddle off without another thought of you! I hope he gets along with the other dogs. He can be dominate at home, I wonder how that's going to work with him there? LOL I hope this is a good experience for him and he gets socialized with other dogs.

Home now. Went to WW, I had been on the fence as to going or not. I wasn't in the mood to hear that I'd gained. I went anyway and yes, I did gain. It wasn't much, just a pound. I really find it funny the games we play with ourselves. I'd decided last night that I probably wasn't going to go. So what did I do? I had a second helping of some very salty, cheesy rice that I'd made for DS and a sandwich. Imagine what WI would have been like had I had the bowl of cereal that I normally have? UGH! But I did go, I owned it. I had gained a pound. Not too bad all things considered. I feel that i"m back on track. I always feel that way after WI though. My leader is the best, such an inspiration and inspirational to boot.
I'll be back later. I have a load of laundry in the drier and one in the wash. I've got bathrooms to clean and floors to vacuum and wash. I'm washing them because the pup isn't here and underfoot!

Adrienne, glad you hip is better. Doug is your baby. He will be fine. Weather is going to be warm, 60s at night, 78-86 during the day. Maybe a shower in the afternoon on Sunday and Monday. Winging it? Not you! It'll be fine. Things will fall into place. Just breathe.....
Nancy, sorry you lost your post.
DH is better today. Got a good workout in. Have southwest chicken thighs in the crockpot with baby carrots. Going to make Brown rice to go with it. Have not felt like cleaning. Will do it tomorrow. Want to start making cookie dough to freeze too. May make a batch later on today. Will post later.

hello, got up a little late today, almost 9:00 am, had to go have my labs done for my surgery, it is next Friday. What was I thinking. So I go to get my labs, I go in and wait, they do not have orders, they call DR office, I am at the wrong place. I am at suite 330, I need to be at suite 315, just down the hall, but I'm starting over, go in sign in and wait. It's 11:30 when I get out of there. Call mom, to see if my niece was there yet, she told me not yet, we were meeting at my moms. So I have time to go to Walmart for a return. I received a text from DD that I could pick up the kids from school. Left mom's at 2:30 went and picked up the kids, came home, it's very cold. DD gets done at school at 6:00 pm, it is freezing drizzle, everything glazed over with ice. She did get the kids and made it home. My son has not made it home yet from North town. Glad I am in and staying in.
DH and I neither one feel very good today, we are blaming the lunch we had yesterday. Not sick, just feel kind of Yuck.
All for now, I wish it would just snow... no one needs this ice. Adrienne, enjoy your trip.
As my Grand daughter told me this afternoon, only 8 days till Christmas.

Hi again everyone. Finally have some time to post again. Let's hope this post doesn't disappear into cyber space. I plan to make my cookies tomorrow and hopefully do a little cleaning/ finding a place to put some papers I took out of the dining room buffet drawers. I need to find a better storage place for that stuff. After Thanksgiving I decided to go through some drawers because they were getting too crowded and now all the stuff in sitting on the dining room table. I need to get to that because it is bugging me sitting there. We are suppose to get a mixed mess of snow, rain and ice tonight and tomorrow morning. Glad I don't have to go out.
Adrienne- Hope you got everything done and are in bed by now so you can get up early. Hope you all have a great time.
Doreen- Good to hear your DH is feeling better. Your dinner sounds good.
Mary- I hope you and your DH get over the yuck feeling from lunch the other day. Glad to hear the labs are done and that is out of the way. Glad your DD and the grand kids got home safe. The weather all over the country is just crazy lately- except for Doreen, let's all go see her it is warm down there.
Hi to all who follow. Have a good weekend everyone.

we are all iced here, more freezing drizzle and snow today. I'm in, staying in. We watched the neighbors grandson go out and put salt stuff on the driveway, lets say he had a couple of falls. He was out there in shorts. lol Still not sick, just have a little stomach issues. Glad I have no where to be today. I must be getting old, lol
Can't wait to watch it snow.

Hi everyone. I have the first batch of cookies in the oven. Hope to be done with the baking later today.
Mary - hope you feel better. That sounds just like how my bug started. I never got really sick but just felt yucky for days. I think it might be a mild flu strain. I hope it is short lived for you.
Hi to all who follow. It is a icy mess here too, I'm staying in all day.

Brrrrr! Sorry you guys are getting all that mess. My sister in Denver sent me a picture of her St. Christopher statue in her backyard blanketed in snow! It's 10 degrees there. It's 82 degrees here. In fact I just closed the Windows and put the A/C back on because it was getting warm in here! Come on down! I was making cookie dough yesterday and to6day. It's chilling. I am going to roll them into balls and freeze them, then cook them later in the week. So far I made chocolate chip, chocolate with peanut butter chips, oatmeal, and an icebox cookie (I'll keep that in a log for slice and bake sugar cookies). Bought some cookie cutters but I don't know if I will tackle making rolled cut out ones. We'll see. Started to clean and DH told me to stop, that he will help me clean bathrooms and mop next week. So I am taking a rest. I did put a load of towels in.
Mary, hope you and DH get over the but. Nancy, want to come help me bake my cookies?? Lol Hi to all who follow. Stay warm!

It's even colder below zero, icy and snow, it is so bad out that one of the sand/salt trucks rolled over, a firetruck was on it's side also. I'm in staying in, church and the kids Christmas program cancelled, it is now set for Wednesday. We need ice melt, don't have any, if DH gets out I bet everyone is sold out. It will warm up in a couple of days. BRRR

Hi everyone. What a crazy weather pattern we are in. Yesterday was icy all day and tons of accidents on the roads and right now it is 56 but is suppose to be low 30s tomorrow. I'm just so glad I didn't need to be anywhere yesterday. There was a huge accident in Maryland early Saturday morning, the paper says 67 cars and trucks involved. A tanker truck carrying gas skidded hit a wall bust into flames flipped over and fell off the highway onto train tracks below. It was on the national news so you might have seen it. Then other trucks and cars behind it all started running into each other. A guy on the opposite side of the highway had stopped because of the ice and has a cell phone video of some of the crash. Two people died and a lot of injuries. What a scary situation. Yep I'm staying off the road when it is icy like that. I got most of my cookies baked yesterday. I ended up making dough for roll out sugar cookies ( hadn't planned on doing that ) but haven't baked those yet. Hope I have time one night this week. I never got around to cleaning yesterday, I was really tired after all the baking.
Mary- Better to stay safe with all the ice and stay home. I hope you are feeling better.
Doreen- Sure, I'll come help with your cookies as long as it staying warm down there.I had to laugh about you turning on the AC. I never use to understand why people moved to FL when they got older, but I sure do now. This weather makes it so hard the older you get. Enjoy those warm temps.
Hi to all who follow. Have a great day everyone.

Well, got my cookie balls rolled and frozen. Cooked a batch of the ice box sugar cookies for the house. Only had a couple. Made a big pot of cabbage soup. I was in the mood for soup. Not that it's soup weather here, mind you! It is good though. Took my oldest cat Abi to the vet today. Poor baby has pneumonia. Have to take her in the morning for a nebulizer treatment to help get rid of some of the congestion. I am hoping my other cats don't get it. Hope Adrienne is having fun and enjoying the weather. Did a bit more shopping and got DH some cologne and a nice long sleeve fishing shirt, if it ever cools off here! Hope everyone is doing well.
