I want to run an errand or two, but it started snowing about an hour ago, and it's still coming down. Weather radar says we'll have at least 3 more hours of the white stuff, which of course is falling on top of icy roads. I wanted to get a bottle of champagne, but might settle for some wine that we already have in the house to toast in the new year. We'll see...

Just finished dinner and it was good. No other plans tonight. Redneck neighbors are setting off fireworks, of course.

I think I need to do a shot, or three, since I'm home and not doing anything, for New Year's Eve. In honor of the new year and all of you peeps... CHEERS!
Thanks for being you. Stay safe, healthy and happy! ♡ I adore you!

Stay safe, healthy and happy! ♡ I adore you! to you too! We're just eating ourselves into a food coma, and waiting for Midnight, when our neighbors set off their fireworks. Unfortunately, DH has to get up early for work in the morning.

Gracious and Happy New Year's Day, peeps! Non-alcoholic offerings, unless you need some "hair of the dog" today.

I got out to the green market early, before the crowds -- got cheese, honey, vegetables and some cherry compote for pancakes tomorrow. Doing a load of laundry now. I weeded the yard and vacuumed. A rather industrious start to the new year.

So far I've been rather lazy this morning but it feels kind of good. Overnight we got to -10 degrees, right now we are up to a balmy 7 degrees.

Good Afternoon Kids! I won't acknowledge the turn of the calendar until the weather behaves. Yes, it's -6. And I won't be sitting at the computer much, as I can feel the cold air moving through the house.

A little extra meat and potatoes this morning, in honor of Blue. And the weather. Some serious cold moving in across the country in the next few days.

I contacted DD2 tonight, asked if pizza is okay for lunch tomorrow. (Pizza hut). She said, she was also thinking about pizza tomorrow, but she's going to make it. Okay!

Pizza must be making its way through the Coffee Shop. Just finished indulging in PaPa John's delivery and am stuffed. Has to be at least a year since I've had pizza and boy did it hit the spot

Ha! I'll live until tomorrow, but I wish I would have had pizza tonight. I've been wanting pizza for at least a week. Probably closer to 2 weeks. I've had pizza twice, I think, in the last 6 months. But it has been someone else's choice of toppings. Usually, I prefer cheese/extra cheese. Oftentimes when you pick stuff off, you lose your cheese. Also, I can't just relax and enjoy it, if I'm picking things off. And I LOVE cheese bread.

Mmmm pizza! That sounds good. Good Morning Kids! With a lot of help from DH, the tree is down, and set by the curb for the garbage/recycle truck tomorrow. It wasn't ready to go yet. I wasn't ready to let it go. But the tree let us know it was annoyed. After being really good about "shedding", it left a huge pile of needles after DH fought with it, to get it out of the tree stand. On the positive side, I think picking up pine needles counts as exercise.

Good Afternoon Kids! My sinuses began to misbehave late yesterday, so I've been hitting the Zicam. (Ever notice how much those tablets taste like the St. Joseph aspirin we were given as kids?) I cancelled my dentist appointment for later this week. I'll reschedule when I feel better.

I will never forget the taste of the St. Joseph baby aspirin. My mom couldn't swallow pills so she couldn't teach either my sister or I to swallow them either.
She crushed them up and put a little water in them. Everything tastes worse that way. Everything.
At least I have learned to swallow pills.

Good Morning Kids! We're in the thick of Winter today. It's already been snowing here for several hours, and we've got about 2-3 inches of new snow. We'll get about a 4 hour break this afternoon, then the snow is supposed to start up again in the evening.

We have very strong winds that are blowing the snow that fell over the weekend around and making drifts. Almost as bad as more snow.

Our wind is coming straight down from Canada. Tomorrow, on top of all of this new snow, we're supposed to have our temps dive below zero. Looks like I'll be doing a lot of baking.

Yesterday was just sucky. I ended up having to replace a front tire due to potholes yesterday. $216 .... than I had to pay for my car tabs. It was a expensive day. Today has been busy and just aggravating. I really want to run home and drink hot cocoa and eat doritos. I am being tormented with the smell of teriyaki that everyone else in the office got which I was not informed was being ordered and am in a mood...

Sorry you're having a Monday, snapdragon. Hang in there! DD's car is not yet done at the shop, and that's fine with me. Not a good day to go out on the roads. I AM baking today. I just took some peanut butter blossoms out of the oven, and I'm considering making something else.
