Hello Everyone! Sickness has been going around at work and we have several people out. So I have been solo in my office since Monday afternoon. Thank goodness it's Friday and I have the weekend to unwind. Grabbing a cup of tea to go and maybe a scone.....mmmmmm scones I think I know what I will be making this weekend. Whelp I made scones and misread the recipe. I ended up doing 2 TBS of baking soda instead of baking powder. They looked wonderful and smelled good than I took a bite... . Let's just say I ended up tossing the whole batch. I made cinnamon scones the following day which turned out great thankfully.

Spending a quiet evening at home. Yesterday I left work early got Mom to pre-op appointment in which she yelled at me in front of the PA. I got Mom home, her garbage out, mail in and made sure she was settled for the evening. Then I came home did a bunch of evening chores and then packed an over night bag. Drove back down to DD's and spent the night there. Boss is on vacation this week and really wanted me to attend a certain meeting today and I was concerned about the weather/commute. Spending the night at DD's was the absolute right call in terms of driving. At one point tripcheck was showing 4 accidents on my usual route at about the time I would normally be traveling that road. The road were extremely icy this morning. I slept like crap at DD's and am exhausted tonight. I was sleeping in a twin bed with a rock hard mattress and DGS cried and fussed for over 2 hours last night. I will probably regret not spending another night at DD's. We got a pretty good shot of rain/snow shower this evening just before the temps dropped. It is only 7:30pm right now and we are already below freezing. The roads should be fun tomorrow.

Good Morning Kids! It should be a good day, as I'll be going to lunch with one of my friends. However, the rest of the week includes dentist & doctor appointments, so I'll try to enjoy today.

Good Morning Kids! Going out to lunch yesterday was a good time. Today I have to go to the dentist. Not to start my crown, but it's for the original teeth cleaning that was scheduled, but, if he gets a cancellation, I'd love to get the crown started just to be done with it.

Need to get busy and out the door. These 12-13 hour days of being gone from the house are killing me. I'm having an 80th birthday party for Mom at my place Sunday and I have done nothing to get ready. We also have a family wedding on Saturday so that will kill most of Saturday. The party was deliberately planned in conjunction with the wedding so family from out of state would be there.

Good Morning Kids! I don't even want to talk about the dentist yesterday, as I've got a list of stuff they want to do...
Another appointment this morning. This time I'm off to the eye doctor.

Good morning. I'm off to the Y. Going to look for a glove I lost last night during a walk at dusk. It was really windy and a cold front came in. 31* at 9:30 am.

Good Morning Kids! Welcome to the weekend! Well, at least the eye doctor had good news for me yesterday. Today, I'm working around the house, while DD is digging out from a big sNOwstorm they had back in the Midwest.

Morning to all my best peeps ever! A nice day in the neighborhood. Winter is coming back (or so the weather wonks on TV keep saying) by middle of next week. OMG here comes the cold and wind. Get out your woolies and stock up the wood for the ol' fireplace. My brother and I are trying to coordinate a trip to Denver in April to see relatives we haven't seen for awhile. Never been to Denver. We have a car to use, a place to stay and food to eat, so aside from the airfare and gas to and from the airport it's a cheap trip. Also trying to find a race to do while I am there. Never mind I've never run at altitude. Speaking of races, I have a 10K tomorrow, so I am trying to get stuff done today.

Good Morning Kids! We've got rain headed our direction, but I won't complain, as it's been rather dry here.
I'll be off to church as soon as I caffeine up.

Today's the big birthday party. I was worried I wouldn't have enough food until I thought about the demographics. Three guests will be under the age of 1, three more fall into the 3 and under age group. Perhaps I need to worry more about having enough toys rather than enough food.

Hello peeps. Got back and unpacked my gear. Snacking out now and want to share. Finished third in this one, but a podium finish is always a good day.

Good Morning Kids! Winter has finally arrived for this part of the country. Our temperature range will be lows in the 30's to 40's, and highs in the 50's to 60's. It actually feels cold in the house this morning. I'm glad you got through your party Sharon! Hopefully you can rest up some this week.

Aw carp! It's turning into a Monday. My relative is going back into the hospital. They're not sure what's going on, but he's got a fever, and respiration rate is lower than it should be.

Hello my chilly willy peeps. TV weather wonks are going nuts because it will be a bit frosty tonight and tomorrow night. Swim practice already cancelled for Wednesday morning -- coach says the ice breaker is in the shop.

Good Morning Kids! It is chilly here this morning. And, electric heat just doesn't heat up a house as evenly as a gas furnace does, but we're managing. Brrrrrrrr!

Good morning everyone. Woke up to 19*. This house, built in 1958, is drafty. I'm buying an infrared thermometer and chasing outside leaks today.

We are looking at a week of rain but the low temps for the next week will be higher than the high temps last week.

Good Morning Kids! It was so cold last night, we actually had to turn up the furnace. They don't insulate the houses as well down here as they do in the north. But, we've got temps warming up again, so tonight shouldn't be as cold.

As Winnie the Pooh would say "Happy Windsday". It is supposed to be rainy and windy in my corner of the world today.
