In all seriousness, I miss chatting with you all! I hope that you and your families are well! I've been so busy lately searching for jobs and interviewing. I was offered a position recently after going in for a couple of interviews. I did turn it down though because it was way less money than I was hoping for. I know that I am going to have to grow and climb up the ladder in any company, but it was unreasonable. Even though I would love to start working right now, I am not going to jump at the first offer that I get! I am trying to stay optimistic and hope that something will work out soon!

How have you guys been? Did I miss anything big in the past couple of weeks?

I'd try to catch up but that would be almost impossible at this point!

It's so nice to see you Jennifer. I will keep you in my prayers, I hope you find a job that will make you very happy.

Our weekend was very busy, and our afternoon was hectic, to say the least. Hubby was taking out some nails from the back part of the house to work on the pocket door area. When he got started, all the shelves in the hallway pantry came tumbling down, food and all! The shelves had been FULL of food, and some of the containers broke. Can you guess what broke open and landed up all over the floor? Flour did you say? Yes, indeedy. Did I hear you say Karo syrup and some molasses? Yes, indeedy again!!! What a mess I had to clean up! Hubby would have helped, but he had to take the shelves down the rest of the way and repair the doorway! It was funny in a way because we had LOTS of canned goods that we had forgotten about because the shelves are SO deep. Everything was outdated and some of the cans had "exploded" without our knowledge. Can you say big sloppy mess, boys and girls? Have you ever seen a can of partially opened Vienna sausages that has petrified? Totally unreal! I cannot believe that there were NO bad smells! Have you ever seen canned food that has rusted through and have the bottom lid stuck to the shelf and the whole thing disintegrate just by touching it? We did not even try to salvage anything except the small appliances--I even found another crockpot!!!--and some storage material (Ziplock bags, plastic wrap, etc.). I told Hubby that we cannot have any deep shelves anymore where we cannot see all the items. And all canned food has to be together in the big pantry and not scattered throughout the house! How gross! What a lot of extra work for us!!! Well, I am going to rest for a while and then it's off to bed. TTYT

I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, I can't even imagine! I'm happy no one was hurt!

That was a smart thing to do. We haven't gotten satellite programming for several years now because the package we would watch is way too expensive. I'm waiting for the trees to be in full leaf to see if we can get WIFI. If we can, we are getting Netflix, too. I really hope we can get WIFI ~ would make things so much easier for my job. Anyhow, enjoy!

Hope you can get the wifi!

Good Tuesday morning everyone. We continue to have great weather here with single digit lows tonight and more snow. Looks like snowcream for supper.

A National Park service truck was going too fast around a curve on an icy road and hit us Saturday. Our car is a total loss. He hit us right on the drivers side door. The side airbags deployed. I'm bruised up but the rest of the family is ok. I hate car shopping but we will have to find another one soon.

Have a blessed day everyone.

I'm sorry to hear about your car. Thank God you and your family are alright, that is so scary.
Good luck with the car shopping.

I found out some interesting things with my research so now I have to mull over what I want to do. Decisions, decisions. Anyhow, I'm going to call it a night. I need to wash up the dinner dishes and cover the bread dough I made for tomorrow's lunch: multi-grain crusty with onion and smoked paprika. Smells good! There just might be another Christmas movie to watch tonight as it is even colder than yesterday. Palmer has been hugging the heat register again making the kitchen cold. If I read or crochet she'll get on my lap and get in the way so I might as well do something we can both enjoy. cheesy

May your dreams be merry and bright!

The bread sounds so good! Hope you guys can stay warm!

:!!Good Tuesday morning (Better than a Monday morning; huh?)!!

We have a few Deer mice living in the attic, It's pretty typical for them to come inside during the winter months, well, last night, I decided to set a few mouse traps in the attic. Did great, didn't set anyone of them off on my fingers or anything, well, I set the last one, tried to get up back off the floor from lying on my belly, and I misjudged the distance from the roof and my head and bam; I skewered my head on a nail point; OUCH!!!!!:-(

I shook it off and went downstairs, sat on the couch, Lisa was on the phone and when she walked by she looked at me and shouted "what did you do to your head?", you have to know me when I sheepishly say, "Hit it, why?" "Well your bleeding, bad"....

I couldn't get that thing to stop bleeding for the longest while and this morning, I have this knot on my head and that thing is really sore.... Didn't hurt much last night, but today, oh man, I have a headache. I guess that's really using my head; LOL!:nice:

Oh that sounds painful. I hope you're feeling better xmastidings!

Good afternoon,

I finally sat down for the first time today, most of the Christmas decorations inside the house are down, including the tree. Just some knicky-knacky stuff remains, I think I will finish that up tomorrow. I just want some down time before I pick up the boys. I also cleaned up the house, and started dinner.

Please say a prayer or keep our cat Sidney in your thoughts. He isn't feeling well, I am keeping an eye on him. I think he ate something that didn't agree with him. He is very lethargic, quiet and throwing up . (I know, that is how most cats are.) cheesy He is usually outgoing and always around me, but he wants to be alone. He was his normal happy go lucky self yesterday.

I will be in throughout the day.

Evening all, hope your day is going well. I have suddenly gone very lethargic and my throat feels scratchy. I better not be coming down with anything, no time for that. Fingers crossed a good nights sleep will improve how I feel tomorrow.

Hmg , goodluck to your daughter, I hope she finds so ething else soon. Sounds like you have your hands full these days.

Thought I'd check in tonight (sort of a rare thing for me to do lately: lol...) and see what's cooking here tonight with everyone...The wife is painting the kitchen (gotta stay out of her way or I'll get painted as well if I linger around to long) and me, I thought I would come upsatirs and start to un-pack and organize the office a little bit. But, I got on the computer and where's the very first place I go to...... well this post says it all~

It's a quiet, cold night around here with temps in the single digits. I'm going to hang out here a bt and then call it a night a go to bed early for a change...

Good thing you are being proactive about unpacking, I finally found our cookie cooling racks a few months ago in one of our boxes we have yet unpacked. We've been here for nearly 5.5 years. cheesy

Sorry, girl.
Maybe you should lay down again, maybe the bright screen tired your eyes?

I hate when I have to fall asleep, but can't!
