Good Morning Kids! I'll have a warm beverage, NancysSummerSip , for my DD. It's below zero back home, and to add insult to injury, they're supposed to get a big snowstorm tomorrow, then the temps will get even colder. Part of me is glad I now live in a warmer state, but part of me wishes I could be helping DD with the mess to come.

Morning peeps. Anyone need a get-warm beverage? That first cup picture would be right up my grandson's alley! About 1/4 cup coffee covered by a tower of whipped cream which is covered in a little chocolate syrup. When I take him downtown to any of our restaurants, they don't even bother to ask, they just bring him his whipped cream fix for the day....-

Drag out the extra comforters folks!! When this thing barrels east the bottom is going to fall out of the temperatures! Snow meal mush, frozen hashcicles, and icy frosted toast may be the item of the day. Stay warm Muffins!

I am up early and hope breakfast works for everyone today. It is cold and rainy all day here. I just put a coffee cake in the oven, and I am finishing up a freelance piece while it bakes. Then heading out for some exercise, then back for breakfast. Ooooops....forgot the hot beverages...

I am back. Hope everyone enjoyed the food. I had turkey sausage and an omelet, a piece of coffee cake and a lot of coffee. Still cold and raining out, with more rain to come. Considerable low-level flooding out there, but I don't think it will be anything serious, as we have been in drought conditions.

Finally found the coffee shop, we are under dense fog advisories. I think I might start painting my bathroom today. I need to finish getting the house ready to sell so everything will be in order if I found a house I like. So far there isn't a whole lot out there, true I have a very small area that I am considering at the moment. Actually a house came up this weekend that checks off all of my wants, except it is very close to railroad tracks, like running along side the house. There is quite a bit of buffer but I know this is a main track line so that is a concern and for now I am passing. It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath, single level since I am not getting any younger. Indoor laundry room vs washer and dryer in the garage, somewhat updated- I don't require HGTV but don't really want something that hasn't changed in the last 40 years. It is on a half acre on a dead end street with farm land/ open land behind it. My commute would be cut by at least half if not more. It is just those darn train tracks. busymom did you ever sell your former home?

Good Afternoon Kids! Well, the weatherman lied again, about when the rain would arrive here. It was raining both to and from church, which was weird, considering we were told rain wouldn't arrive until 1 pm. And, it actually feels COLD outside. Like, maybe this is what Winter feels like in a Southern state. No, Sharon, the house didn't sell. But, DD is minding the fort, so we're o.k. for now.

I got the bathroom ceiling painted and the trim around the window, since they are the same color. Right now I am leaning towards painting the bathroom walls with the paint that I rejected for hallway walls. The bathroom has natural light which the hallway doesn't so I think it will be okay in there, plus it uses up some of a very expensive mistake. The house by the railroad tracks is no longer listed for sale. Is was a FSBO and went up on Friday. Not sure if it sold already or if they changed their mind and decided they didn't want to sell it themselves.

Good Morning Kids! Unfortunately, I'm dealing with an allergic reaction to the strong antibiotic prescribed by my dentist, so after a trip to urgent care this morning, I'm off to pick up a prescription to fight a rash that's spreading across my body. Thankful for Benedryl and anti-itching cream, otherwise I'd be even more miserable. Yup, it's a Monday.

Mornin Muffins! The snow has started and I am up early due our idiot town's call to tell me about no parking.
Good luck busy!

Good Morning Kids! <itch, itch, itch> Yes, I'm taking my new meds, and using lotion, but I'm still dealing with itchy skin. I'm on steroids, and although the areas that first got the rash feel a bit better, the rash is still spreading a bit. Not sure how long it'll be before it stops, but I'm obviously taking all of the meds to fight it. In the meantime, I've got some lovely bright pink patches scattered around. Glad I don't do selfies.

Good Morning Kids! It actually got into the 20's around here. No big deal to me, but not good for the area farms, I'm sure.
My skin is getting a bit better, I'm sure the steroids are partly to thank. I'm more concerned about my DD. They're setting records back home, with the wind chill at -50 or worse. Boo!

Good Morning Kids! It got cold here overnight, but the temps are moving back in the right direction, and we might actually hit 60 degrees tomorrow.
DD wisely stayed home from work yesterday, but I believe she went back in today. But then, there's a big difference between -50 wind chill, and -28. It's not pretty, or comfortable, but if you're raised in the Midwest you've probably dealt with -30 at some time each Winter.
I have to go back to the dentist later this afternoon to have him finish my root canal. Then, I'm going to try to stay far away, for at least a month, before I schedule my next crown. My body needs time to heal up.
