Take care. I wish there were something we could do. I hear you about insurance. Mine is $1,653.00 a month. That is a BIG chunk of change coming out of my paycheck. Deductions from my paycheck are more than my take-home pay! I know I grumble about insurance, but I only have a $10 co-pay for office visits; and each prescription is only $5.00. Everything else is 100% paid by insurance.

The thing with Brent is that he takes such good care of himself and keeps in shape. Plus, it sounds like he does exactly what the doctor says!
The candy corn Oreos are okay. Hubby doesn't like them. I bought two bags so I have a lot of eating to do!!!
Good Saturday morning, my Christmas friends!
I'm here at Bernie's all day. I've already cooked & sold breakfast. Now I'm knee-deep in lunch, with cheesburgers, pepperoni pizza & rotisserie chicken. Mmmm, mmmm!
Of course, it's grilled skinless chicken breast for me, but that's pretty good, too.
I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good morning, Christmas friends. Hubby and I drove to Redding yesterday for doctors' appointments. On the way, I suggested our having a Thanksgiving dinner on Monday. He agreed!!! (Later last evening, I heard him telling a friend of ours that we were celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving.) At one of the doctor's offices, there was an OLD issue of Sunset magazine (November 2011). We decided to try the recipes from it for Monday because we have a set menu for the US Thanksgiving. Anyway, here's our menu (most recipes from the mag!): Brined Turkey (not from the mag, but we know this is good and can't stray from our regular recipe; we bought an eight pounder); Sage Gravy (our regular recipe); Wild Mushroom and Butternut Squash Bread Pudding; Fingerling Potatoes with Bacon Cream; Roasted Cauliflower and Shallots; Cranberry Sauce (store-bought); Homemade Rolls; Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Cupcakes; and Pouilly-Fuisse White Burgundy (thanks to the recommendation by LaurieBear).
i decorate then too!!!! i just can't wait to start!

Lauriebear,
I did a search on the wine and found out I could buy it in Chico at two places, one being Cost Plus World Market. When we got to Redding, we stopped at BevMo just to see if they had it; and they had never heard of a "white burgundy." I could not remember the name (Pouilly-Frisse) but I told the clerk that it was, indeed, a real wine. Anyway, we were driving along the little mall area; and I spotted a Cost Plus World Market! I think I scared my husband when I said, "Wait, we can get it there!" I went in, but the clerk didn't know about a white burgundy, especially since I couldn't remember the name. I kept trying different versions of the name, saying it sounds like Pooyay something. Finally, his eyes lit up and said, "I think I know what you are talking about." He led me over to it. There were several brands ranging in price from $7 to $24. I wishy-washied on the one to get and decided to get the one that had Pouilly-Frisse on the label (I am sure you can guess the price on that one!!!). I am looking forward to trying it on Monday. Thanks for the recommendation. Just think, this (our celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving and trying a new wine) all started with our wonderful conversations and recommendations on this forum. Thanks, friends!

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. :]
I decided to drop my university reading for a while (I was doing it all day yesterday so I deserved some rest ^^) and went to the town centre earlier today. I spent four hours there and I'm so tired right now.
I entered ''Cardfactory'' at the shopping centre by accident and OMG, the store made me smile. There was A HUGE variety of Christmas cards and other lovely Christmas-related stuff! And it was so great to see people talking about Christmas and buying some lovely cards. I also bought some stuff. Not cards, unfortunately. ^^
