Oh no! How can this be where I have to root against two good friends' teams? I like the Cowboys and the Broncos. Forgive me Made and Snowflake. .....

I forgive you too, Ryan.

Home just in time for the game and for the sleet to start. I guess my prayers for all rain aren't going to be answered

You know it's bad when I have to go in another room while my wife and daughter is watching the Ravens playing....I'm afraid of receiving multiple bodily injuries - LOL!!!!!!

LOL...I was glad to read later that you stayed safe. I'm not a NE fan in any way, but my brother is....and being a Browns fans - I just can't root for the Ravens - Ever! Lol!!

My daughter read my post about the rabbits and she has made a recommendation that I edit my previous statement, so that people don't think that I/ we are abusing our bunnies. So, for the record....(We hold the bunnies in our lap on a towel, brush them and use our fingers as combs to get the loose and shedding hair from off of them). Then we suck it up in the vacuum. When I stick the vacuum nozzel in the cage, it's to pick up the loose rabbit hair in the bottom of the cage and not directly on the rabbits....

She's patting me on the back and telling that's better as I am typing~ She's a back seat typer......

We would have never thought that you were hurting the babies....but great job on the clarification! cheesy

I just got done eating a couple slices of this seafood pizza I ordered for dinner. First off, it's a thin crust, well done, it has shrimp and crab meat on it. It is seriously delishious.... You know what else is good, it's when you eat everything from the slice of pizza, all the way up to the crust, then take the crust and dip it in some blue cheese dressing; ohhh yea!
Major Yummy~

Sounds great, minus the fish. cheesy I'm eating leftover pizza from yesterday...warmed up in the cast iron skillet - as I type. :lol:

Good evening, friends. Hope you're all having a good day.

I apologize I didn't respond to many posts, but I don't have to much time to stick around. I had got called in to work early last night and am taking call from 7-11 tonight, then work 11-7. I need to head to bed here for a nap.

I hope you're all staying warm! Ttyt!

The weather forecast for this area is now calling for an ice storm Sunday night into Monday morning and then we are supposed to get another one Tuesday night into Wednesday night. I love the snow, but I have to say, I do not like that ice stuff. That stuff is bad news....

I agree 100% - they can keep the ice! Yuck!

xmastidings said:
How's everyone doing? We are all lounging in front of the fireplace, watching property brothers, getting ready to call it a night. Tomorrow, I'm planning to take Vicki out so she can practice her driving and then work in the basement the rest of the day.

Oooh, that driving thing! Stay safe! cheesy

Good Sunday afternoon MMC!! Hope everyone is doing well & staying safe & warm!

I decided to make a chicken in the oven tonight for supper since bad weather is supposedly coming. They are saying 1/10" of ice, possible sleet accumulation & 2-3" of snow. I ran to the store earlier & picked up more chicken breast on sale, so I need to cut the icky stuff off of that again today. (I'm a picky chicken eater...cheesy) Hubby just went to Menards to return some things & to pick up a new snow shovel. I told him he better hurry & get back before the nasty weather starts! xx (shouldn't be a problem)

Anyway, I found a new recipe online for chicken I'm going to try. Hopefully it will be yummy! I'm goign to put some taters & fresh mushrooms on the bottom of the pan. I don't bake whole chickens often at all, so this is an experiment. :smile: Other than that - not much else going on around here today. Just hanging with my girl!! And heading back to read more posts... (I love being able to check in here on the weekend - doesn't happen often) cheesy

Have a great day everyone!!!

Oh - I'm watching Cookie Cutter Christmas too!

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!
Just took a couple of cold pills, hoping they kick in soon. I have a couple of errands to run this morning. I plan on taking it easy this afternoon, hopefully nothing will come up and I'll be able to rest. Didn't sleep well again thanks to the cats and dogs. Maggie was coughing off and on and Molly wanted to go out twice. Then Bentley knocked my alarm clock off of my night table and scared me. And Sophia was sleeping across my neck again. That was cute when she was a few weeks old but she's growing like a weed and is over five pounds now. I wake up and feel like I'm being strangled, lol. I'm ready to lock them all out of my room at night. But I would never do that. Anyway, hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

I hope the cold meds helped and that you are starting to feel better, HMG!!!!! I hope you can get some rest without all of the furkids interrupting it too!!!!!

Ahggggg - Ice!!!! I know how you feel about it, I don't like it either. At my company, about a year before I started there, one of their employees, apparently slipped on the ice one morning, getting ready to come into the office, and he passed away like three days later, due to the injuries he suffered to his brain....

That stuff, it's better to just stay inside, until the stuff melts then try to go outside and scape it off your car or try to shovel it or something...

I got to worry about my grandfather, he's a hard head and never listens to me. He insists on throwing salt out on it or cleaning off his car just in case he needs to head out. I've talked to him about not going outside in that stuff until I was blue in the face, but it does no good. He just does it when I leave....What can you do????

That is sad.

Yep. I have no plan to go anywhere the rest of the week if we get that much. We will be back below zero for the lows by wednesday so it's not going to go anywhere until next weekend. I have nothing important enough to risk totaling my truck or hurting myself between now and then.

Well I might have a little of that in me too. I will probably be doing the same. i won't drive any where though. Praying that your grandfather stays safe.

Good morning gang ... Its a bright and sunny morning here but it sure is cold. We have to head outside later today to take down the outside Christmas Decorations. We may leave the snowman out there for a while longer. Spent the day at the mall yesterday with DH and the kids so the kids could use their gift cards they got for Christmas. This past year my daughter got hooked on The Nightmare Before Christmas and while we were walking around the mall she noticed several Nightmare before Christmas items in the windows of a store. DH and I will have a take a trip back there with out the kids and get a jump start on some Christmas Shopping for her I also noticed Hallmark has a 75% off mark down sign in their window. There is another Hallmark store that is a little out of the beaten path near work so I am going to stop by there on my lunch break tomorrow to see what kind of goodies I can get for next Christmas.

Hope everyone stays warm today ... Have a great day!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Minta!!!! Good luck with the shopping!!!

Cold and cloudy today. I'm not taking down my outdoor tree lights today after all. A friend of ours is coming over today, so we're leaving them up so he can see them. My indoor decorations are down, but I took a video of our Christmas tree because he wanted to see it. I also brought my ceramic Santa back up and put him on a side table for a little atmosphere. We'll meet our friend at a restaurant for lunch and then come back here to get caught up and watch some movies on the big screen. Just taking a break from straightening up the house to get caught up with you all.

Have fun with your friend!!!! Enjoy the day, MerryCarey!!!!!

Good morning. It's quiet at the moment, Lisa is at work, Zach has drill this morning at the Guard and Vicki is still asleep upstairs. I'm just sitting here on the couch, sipping on my coffee in front of the fireplace and watching a great funny but yet (I think) classic western - "Support your local gunfighter" with James Garner, Jack Elam and Harry Morgan.

I got some thick sliced bacon defrosting at the moment, getting ready to put it in the pan, to have with eggs and cheese on biscuits.

Sounds pretty much perfect!!!! Hope you enjoyed breakfast!!!!1

LOL!!! I'll forgive you just this once. (Mainly because I'll be happy for Peyton if he wins today too. So it's really a no lose situation for me.)

I feel your pain Ryan!!! I'm not really rooting for or against anybody today though....my awesome friend is from Texas & a huge cowboy fan - her texts are coming in about 3 per 30 minutes. Another awesome friend is from Indiana & he is a big ol Colts fan! I'm just along for the ride I guess! cheesy

How is Happy? I have been thinking about him & you all!
