OMG I swear it isn't this hard to navigate these boards, on a PC! I'm not getting old, I AM old! Don't feel bad, Hon. When I bought my first Smartphone this year, the salesman didn't show me how to use it, except for maybe a couple of things. I've had to learn to navigate it by the school of hard knocks. There is still a lot I need to learn to do with it. I don't know how to download anything with it. Nor do I know how to scan with it. It's like handing a child the dial phones we grew up with, and telling them to call their mom with it. They wouldn't have a clue how it works. And, cell phones no longer, apparently, get those little books that used to tell us how to do everything. Technology s#cks when no one teaches you how to use it. Agreed. I might end up buying one of those books on my phone. I am getting whatever the library has and going from there. Apparently Apple also has classes, but I'll look into that next year.

I got this from an ad, I could be happy with this brunch. Anyone got $39.99? I definitely want the brunch on the right. I'll load up on the strawberries, blueberries, cukes, etc.

One more short week of work then begins the first of the year grind. Right now it is a balmy 18 degrees and snowing.

Good Morning Kids! We hardly had any sNOw for Christmas, but we got a fresh batch last night. Unfortunately, it appears we may have gotten a bit of rain on top of it, as the snow is "crunchy". So now I'm debating if I should do an errand or two, or stay home & be safe...

Well the drive in was quite different. We had several inches of sNOw yesterday and the temp is in the mid 20's. Work is chilly and I wish I had another pair of socks for my feet.
Keep Cozy!

Well, I did do a couple of errands. The highway is just fine for driving, but the side streets and intersections are icy. You could literally lace up some skates, and probably make it most of the way down my street skating on ice all the way.

Brrr. We have already hit our expected low temp for tonight of 15 degrees so I expect we will go even lower. We got about an inch of snow today. My skin isn't used to this cold dry weather.

I am personally keeping the hand lotion & body lotion industry in business. Usually, my skin isn't this bad until January or February. Counting weeks until Spring.

Good Morning Kids! It's a good day to hunker down at home. It is snowing steadily right now, the kind that piles up, and it's supposed to continue like this all day long.

It has been snowing since about 9 AM. Snow is lighter now, but it's still snowing.
Hoping the predicted break from snow in the morning happens so I can see the Toddler one more time before they leave.

We had a squall go through here last night. A drive that normally takes me 40 minutes, took me 1 1/2 hours! The roads got so slippery/icy, so fast! And a lot of snow came down quick.

I'm hoping to go over later this morning. That will probably be the last time I see him before they leave. I'm wondering if they have been able to get their Covid tests. Everyone around here is complaining they can't get them and they are sick, not just needing them for travel.

Good Morning Kids! All of you that have lousy driving weather, be safe out there. I kind of need to get out & do an errand or two, but it's 3 below zero here, without the wind chill, and I don't wanna. I'll see if it's warm enough this afternoon to motivate me.

For whatever reason, my mind wants your post to read "5 more glasses of wine". 🤣 I have no idea why! Hahaha Happy new year to you and yours! And enjoy those glasses of wine, if you have them!

Hello my midweek peeps! I am done working for 2021! Got a lot going on, though. Kitty goes to the vet for annual visit tomorrow and my mammogram is also tomorrow. I am hoping to get a kickboxing session in there somewhere. Not much planned for Friday; a stop at Walmart after practice for a few things. Going nowhere on NYE. We already have our champagne, but will likely not drink it until Sunday mimosas.

Oy, peeps! I need to plotz now. Been crazy all day, and it's a day off, and that's just not right! Still have my mammogram left to go today; will go grocery shopping after that and then have dinner.

Hang in there! It'll be nice to have everything done, but until then... yikes!

Good Evening Kids! Spent some time on the telephone today, dealing with stuff. Then, I went out & bought all of the normal finger foods we normally eat on New Year's Eve. We have everything you can imagine that doesn't need to be eaten with a fork: eggrolls, pizza rolls, cheese sticks, etc.

There is so much work to putting together meals for Christmas, that we've made New Year's Eve as easy as possible. So, it's all finger foods. And, maybe a glass of something...

I did my store run and some other errands yesterday. The kids may or may not come over at some point this weekend and just hang out. I'm really hoping for a very low key weekend with no real obligations. Yesterday I made sure I had all the ingredients for hamburger soup. That is kind of a New Years tradition in our house. It is an easy soup to make, makes a good amount and is easy to warm up. Growing up Mom would make that for New Years day. Mom loves all the bowl games and she would just have it on low in the crock pot and you helped yourself whenever you were ready to eat.

Since we did not have turkey on Christmas Day, I am making a turkey breast tonight, with stuffing, gravy, peas and corn. No potatoes, but a nice white wine. No way we will make it to midnight and the ball drop. Two old people, too old for that stuff!
