Good afternoon, MMC!

Sunny and very cold day here. I should be out doing something constructive, but not feeling all that great and I cannot seem to get warm. Started "The Moonstone" by Wilkie Collins yesterday. As I read it, I hear the voices of several of the "Downton Abbey" characters. cheesy

Have a merry day!

Hi friends. I'm just checking in to say hi.

I broke my laptop today and I am not happy. My writings, music (including Christmas) and some other stuff is gone now. Needless to say I'm a bit disappointed.

I hope you all are having a good weekend.

I'm sorry about the laptop Ryan, I hope there is a way to retrieve what you lost!

When you drive your daughter into work, what time do you have to go back and pick her up? Drive safely!!!

Good morning!
I'm having a cup of coffee and relaxing. Everyone is sleeping in today, the house is nice and quiet! I really wanted to stay in bed today but Bentley woke me up bright and early. Little stinker. I don't have too much planned for today but I'm sure that will change, it always does. We are expecting a couple of inches of snow tonight. Nothing major but I think I'll drive my youngest in to work later, she has a closing shift. I'm going to finish my cup of coffee and get started on some chores. I also have to fry meatballs and get a pot of sauce going for dinner. I hope everyone is well and has a great day!

I hope you start to feel better soon, Meceka! Take care and enjoy your reading. I am reading a mystery that is third in a series by Kate Atkinson. This one is entitled When Will There Be Good News? In this series, there are several plots going on that are really entwined with each other (without your realizing it) and are resolved at the very end. It's really a different series.

I bought some red cotton yarn to make some dishcloths. With the red knobs on the new stove, I want things to match! I bought some new crochet hooks that are ergonomically made. Have you ever tried those?

Went out and got the car washed this morning---it was so caked with salt and road chemicals. Of course, by the time I got back there was already slush up in the wheel wells. I have to be at work early tomorrow and we're supposed to get a couple inches of snow overnight, so that'll be an adventure.

Nothing much going on today, I'm happy to say. When I get through here I think I'll make some tea and watch an episode of Downton Abbey. (I'm in the second season, so no spoilers!)

I started crocheting the Yule Tree Pillow. Oh, boy. It's keeping me on my toes and wearing out my hand and arm. I'm glad I didn't decide to make the afghan first! I think today I'll work on something less demanding to give my poor little finger muscles a rest. My right hand was stiff when I woke up this morning.

BTW, if anyone else makes this pattern---it says Row 1 (odd rows) are the wrong side, but that's wrong. Odd rows are the RIGHT side.

Good evening!
It started snowing about an hour ago, just like they predicted. I'm going to head out in a little bit to pick my daughter up from the outlets, she gets off at 8:00. I'm looking forward to coming back home and relaxing. It was another busy day. Thankfully my daughters hair emergency was resolved. She really needs to stop experimenting, this is the fourth or fifth time we had to have the color corrected. I'm losing count. You think she'd learn her lesson by now. She's back to her original color and very happy, lol. Oh the drama, I can't take it! Well I'm going to throw another load of laundry in before I head out, talk to you later.
I hope everyone is enjoying their evening!

Good evening, MMC!!

I just got done watching Poirot's Christmas movie. Love him!

Hope you're all having a relaxing Sunday!!

I just had a thought: Could you use one of those "thingies" that sucks air out of storage bags to make more room for a lot of those storage things. Or could you use your vacuum cleaner to do that to make less volume?

I looked at the flat-rate box sizes. I forget what size the largest was, but it wasn't big enough to stuff an afghan into without damage.

We tend to use flat-rate boxes for sending Christmas gifts. Depending on what you're sending, it can be a bargain!
