Feeling sad that I am not able to attend my nephew's wedding this evening. I know they had hoped for a nice, spring day but it's cold and windy. I'm sorry that you won't be able to attend your nephew's wedding. I know you were really looking forward to it.

I'm sorry you're not able to attend. In some ways, you seem more like his mom, than his mom does. I'm sure he appreciates that. You are a kind person. ♡

I am more like DN1's mom, not DN3's mom. He and his mom are very close.
They are probably married by now as it was a 5 PM wedding.

They do have the same mom. I am not as close to DN3 as I am to DN1.
I have now seen some wedding photos on FB. Haven't been to a wedding in 13 years. Today's weddings are NOT my style and I'm glad I didn't go.
I am happy DN3's now step son walked his mom down the aisle. He had said he wouldn't do it and they did a ceremony to include him as they became a family of 3.

Super Sunday to the peeps! It's cool and cloudy, so a good day to go shop the market - got fresh bread, honey and pickles. Chicken parm tonight (I got mozzarella on a BOGO last week, so I need to use some). I have a purge the files project for today.

OK, the purge and file is done. Tossed stuff, organized stuff and have about a two-foot pile of stuff to shred. Waaaaaay too much paper in my life. I will do it a little at a time so I don't hurt an innocent shredder.

Good Afternoon Kids! The sun is out, but the wind is so cold I doubt we'll see much melting of the snow today. Thanks for serving up brunch, NancysSummerSip. I am just bone-tired, so I'll probably have a nap this afternoon. Dealing with new snow every 3 days is tiring. Then, you add in tax season, and a packet of paperwork I had to complete for my deceased relative, and frankly I NEED a nap. Or a vacation...

I haven't been awake long and I already need a nap! My eyes are going to slam shut at any moment.
I need to drop off a space heater today and get some groceries. I've been procrastinating for days already.
UGH.

Good Afternoon Kids! It's finally warm enough for the snow to melt today, and the sun is shining. Unfortunately, they're short-handed where DH works, so he'll probably end up working open until close tonight, which is not cool. Why is it the responsible adults tend to be older now? I don't remember calling in more than once my entire career for doing anything foolish the night before, and DH has some coworkers who seem to make it a weekly problem. Of course, they don't get fired because there's a shortage of workers right now. You can't win...

The problem is they know there is a shortage of workers and they are not getting fired. I did not do things like that. When I was working, I would have been written up at a minimum.
When DN3 was managing DQ, that was one of his problems. He could only fire someone for stealing and they got by with everything else.

I agree, TheOtherMe, that employees get wayyyyyyy more chances to keep their jobs now than we ever got. Good Morning Kids! We're up early, as DS has his annual visit to the neurologist. I'm not expecting any problems, as things haven't really changed since last year.

I was up way too late last night watching my Colorado Buffs knock off Duke. They are on their way to the Sweet Sixteen in Seattle on Friday night playing Iowa.
Haven't had a lot of sleep as the game went to OT. Going to cruise through here and go back to sleep.

I finally went to urgent care this morning since it has been almost 2 weeks that I have been fighting this cold. They said I have a sinus infection and sent in a prescription for antibiotics and 2 different cough suppressants. Hopefully I will start feeling better in a couple of days.

Good Afternoon Kids! Sharon, I hope you're doing better today. TheOtherMe, how are you feeling these days? It's cloudy out, and we got rain overnight, which means the backyard is icy. But, some of the grass is showing, and Lola already came in the house with dirty paws from digging in the yard. Happy Spring!

I overdid it yesterday and I'm paying for it today. My leg felt so good that I didn't think I need to use the walker. I did too much and have taken today much slower, but I have not used the walker.

Good Afternoon Kids! Phew, what a day! After DS & I did some grocery shopping, we loaded up the car, and then it wouldn't start. I called AAA, who said it was going to be at least 90 minutes, so DS & I went back to the store & returned my frozen food & dairy, since I didn't want them to go bad. So, went back to the car, decided to try & start it one more time, and it just barely started, so I drove it straight to my favorite repair garage (a small local shop). DD gave me & DS a ride back home, so I'll be stuck at home tomorrow, but at least we're home.

But I'm glad you got your car to the shop and you guys made it home. All without a bunch of thawed out groceries. Well done. 90 mins is a long time to sit and wait. I'm glad you didn't have to. I hope they can get your car running again soon and it doesn't cost a bajillion dollars.

I got the new rug and chairs from DD2 and her husband last night. They look great. I'm super happy with them. Yesterday, when I arrived at DD2's, DGD1 (4yr old) asked me to stay for dinner. I'm sure it was an impulse thing and her parents didn't know. It was super sweet, but I wasn't going to stay, because I didn't want to impose. However the crocodile tears, when I tried to explain to my granddaughter, were just too much. So I stayed. My granddaughters colored in my bedroom, while we moved furniture. They were really good. Now I need to finish putting away all the extra stuff that got moved. Or get rid of it. Although I love it, it's exhausting.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Good Morning Kids! Good news from the repair shop, as it appears a loose wire was the cause of all of my problems. I'll pick up my car when DD gets off work today. So thankful it wasn't something expensive.

It snowed here last night and most of the morning. It currently has stopped at DD2's. But it's supposed to start again this afternoon through this evening. Traffic was a mess, this morning. Instead of taking me 35-45 mins to get to DD2's, it took me an hour and a half. But at least I got here in one piece.

Hello peeps! Good to get to Friday! I have been nonstop busy since the end of the workday, it seems. Forget about "it's five o'clock somewhere" BS. Fortunately, I had a frozen pizza crust and put it to good use for a fast dinner.

toomuchreality I'm glad you like your new furniture. I'm having a new piece of furniture delivered today. If it wasn't for that being delivered I would probably still be in bed. It is a small TV console but I plan on using it for my stereo. I know it is old school but I like my CD's so a few years ago I bought a high quality CD player and speakers. Right now they sit on top of the piano. This will give them there own place to live. The piano was my great uncles and Mom inherited the contents of his house. Originally DD was going to take piano lessons but instead chose to have private flute lessons in addition to what she was getting through band at school. I would still love for the piano to go to DD but right now they have zero room for a piano in their house and I doubt that DSIL would agree to pay for music lessons. We have a lot of musical talent in our family, which unfortunately skipped me. My Grandpa's brother sang and danced on Broadway and was also on Sid Cesar's show of shows on TV. When my Grandpa was in assisted living etc he would sing in his sleep. Even at 100 years old he still had a good voice. DGS1 seems interested in music and I think he might enjoy music lessons but I doubt it will happen. The small school they go to has music class but they don't seem to offer things like band or choir. Sorry for the ramblings. It's amazing how thinking about getting some new furniture can open a flood gate of memories and things to think about. That and maybe the amount of cough syrup I've taken the past two weeks, lol.

Happy Saturday peeps! I am off after five weeks of competing in a row. Feels very strange. I am doing a bunch of things today -- took cookie dough out of the fridge to bake later, just put a load into the washer, and already cleaned the bathrooms. All this after swim practice and stops at Wal Mart, the bank and the fish store (it's what's for dinner ). Also starting to look for the part time job. And some races for the month of May, when I move into my next age group.

Good Afternoon Kids! We enjoyed a good melt yesterday (I LOVE this time of the year), but those drifts by the street, which were originally taller than DS, are going to take a long time to melt. Still, I'm happy to begin seeing small patches of grass in the yard, even if it isn't green yet.
I have my Mother's piano. The passages in this house are so narrow that we had to park it in the living room. But, even though it's scarred and over 100 years old, I love it, and the memories I have just looking at it. I hope if I ever have grandchildren that they will continue the family tradition of music. I have 3 cousins that took their music to the next level, including one who had a career as a music professor at a large university.
