We are doing well, thanks! We celebrated Valentine's Day last weekend, and went out to a nice Irish steakhouse here. Then, Adi surprised me with tickets to Nora Ephron's production of Love, Loss, and What I Wore. I had been wanting to see it, I love live theater!

Harlowe is great, minus the brutal cold weather. She is feeling the walls closing in. Always wants to be outside, but it's dangerously cold. Poor girl.
So, we've been playing a lot inside! =]

How are you & Jones?

Sounds like a great time!!!

 

[xmastidings]

Well, looks like we are all going to work late tonight, just in case we actually do get nailed with a snowstorm (A Noreaster). Soooooo, guess it's time for another coffee.....

Good afternoon,

I have been taking it easy today, I woke up with a sore throat and no voice this morning. I am pretty much back to normal, just my throat is a little scratchy now.
I don't know if the weather people are holding out on a prediction for the big storm heading our way or what, the only thing I have read is possibly 2-4inches from weather.com, which never seems to hit it right for my area.
I am making my homemade Buffalo wings for dinner, I have been craving wings for a while now. I also got some hot sauce samples from a friend for Christmas and I put 1 drop of a sauce called Insanity sauce in it while the wings are marinating. Believe me 1 drop is all you need, I put one drop in my dinner the other night and I was breathing fire. I love it, it is a sauce of the ghost chili pepper, so the wings are going to bite back tonight. I'll save you some Sugar!


I finally put my large Santa I got for Christmas away today, I hate to see him go, I had been holding out but my wife was telling me it was time. He WILL be back out the day after Halloween.

I hope you all are enjoying your Tuesday.

I am really suffering from Bruins withdrawal while the NHL is shut down for the Olympics.
So I have been watching some of the old Bruins "Hockey Rules Bear" commercials. They always make me laugh.

Good Morning!

We have been a bit busy with our little dog, Chico. He has been to the vet 3 times in one week. He is having problems with his heart. He still eats, drinks, follows me around the house and seems happy but we are just trying to get fluids off his belly which is serious. I just have to pray his medication starts working!

With all that going on I have actually lost interest in the Olympics. That is very unusual for me because I love the Olympics! I was really looking forward to watching them but cannot focus on it right now - just been so busy with Chico.

Okay, I must keep merry thoughts in my mind! =)

I hope you all have a merry day!

hope Chico feels better soon ((((HUGS))))

Now for some cheery news!

The other day Wayne and I was at the store looking for a greeting card for a friend of mine. Our 4 year old granddaughter was standing next to us "reading" greeting cards out loud. She said, " Santa, I hope you have a good day, just don't ruin it". Wayne and I started laughing and looked at the card. It just so happen to be a retirement card!!! I said, "Nooooo, Santa cannot retire"!!!

so cute! I agree Santa will never retire!

Exactly! They are both warm, but the one for Gracie done in sc, is extra warm!! I usually don't *love* to do sc b/c it takes so long, but this pattern works up really fast since you don't have to work in ends! And I sure do have the online pattern - I have been wanting to try it for quite awhile! Here you go:

Thank you! I must take a whack at that sometime! I'm not quite getting it while reading through it, but I'm sure I will when I try it with hook and yarn in hand.

I decided to go with the wife to the grocery store and as we pulled out of the driveway, I looked over to my left and I counted 11 deer grazing right by my house. What a sight, I had to pull over and watch them for a little while. I didn't see any antlers, so I'm guessing they were all does. It was a pretty neat thing to see, so close to the house that I thought I would tell you about it. I wish I would of had my camera....:rudolph::rudolph::rudolph:

So cool!

 

[sugar142286]

::roll:I just checked foots forecast, accuweather and the weather channel and they all say the same thing now, that we can see here 6"-12"+ of snow starting Wednesday night and lasting into Thursday night. Oh baby!!!! Bring it on.....

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow.....:razz:

Stay safe!

 

[sugar142286]

She is still in my thoughts.

Thank you.

 

[sugar142286]

Hey gang! Just wanted to drop in and say hello before heading to bed. Been a busy day, but it's the last one for the week. I'm traveling tomorrow and will be at a conference through Friday. I hate leaving the baby, but I love going to these conferences because I feel like I gain so much.



I wonder what it will be like to sleep normal hours...hmmm.....

Safe travels and have a good time!

 

[sugar142286]

Thanks for the update. I hope it turns out to be nothing serious. Praying.





Hope you feel better soon and cope through your upcoming heatwave.



Now that's something you won't see around here. How lovely , wish you had the camera!



I really hope that you get it sorted soon, must be so inconvenient and frustrating!

Thanks, Festive.
