Sorry to hear you're sick, too. I've been doing everything I can to avoid it in my contaminated home. So far, so good. I hope you feel better soon.

Nice self-gift! The website owner, Jeff Westover, does the approvals. I think his job keeps him busy, but I'm sure he'll get it pretty quickly.
Good Wednesday (Pinesday!) morning, Christmas friends!
Nancy says she's feeling better today, so I hope that's a good sign. Can it be that I actually missed the flu?!? If it's in my general vicinity, it always gets me. I better stop talking about it, so I don't jinx myself.
When I got home yesterday, Elizabeth told us that she was asked to prom...and she wanted to go. WHAT?!?!? My blood pressure spiked and I saw red. She's 16, but still in the 10th grade. Nancy & I decided long ago that she couldn't date until at least 11th grade. It turns out, however, that a group of them (including her cousin) are planning to go together just as friends. The boy actually likes another girl who couldn't/wouldn't go with him. After I calmed a bit, I told her she could only go with that group. The school is two blocks from our house, and the meal is catered at the school, so there is no reason to leave Bellville. And she has to come home immediately after it ends. She said that's all she wanted, so ok.
I'll be on my front porch, rocking and cleaning my shotguns and handguns.
I hope y'all have a great day!

Lol probably a good thing I don't have a daughter. 11th grade? I don't think I'd want mine to date till she was about 30 lol...Good Wednesday (Pinesday!) morning, Christmas friends!

Like others, we're under a Winter Storm Warning for tomorrow, expecting 8 to 12 inches of snow and blizzard-like conditions. I think I'll be working from home tomorrow!
This morning was a nasty surprise, as we got some freezing rain that we weren't really expecting. Now the temps are shooting up through the 40s, and will fall below freezing again tonight as the snow approaches. I think we're about to pay for escaping heavy snow thus far this winter!

Schools were closed Friday & Monday because of illness. They went back on Tuesday, and by lunch hour, they had cancelled school for the rest of the week. DD & I haven't been sick, except stuffy, runny noses. DH has been in the bed since mid-day on Monday, probably has the flu, but hasn't been to the doctor. We just Lysol around him & try to keep our distance!
70 degrees and thunderstorms Tuesday & Wednesday. Thursday & Friday in the 30's & 40's, with a chance of flurries. I'm worn out!
The Christmas Spirit that eluded me in December seems to be creeping back in. I'll take it when I can find it!

Lol Brad!!! How many times a father met me in the driveway when I was dropping of his daughter. And the meanest one of all was always in bibs with a tooth pick hanging from his lip. And 'always' had a rusty single shot leaning on the front door. Few years later I was home on leave and he told me he was so rough on me because if I couldnt handle him...I sure couldnt put up with his daughter.Then he says "Git in that house Ja-Reen an see iffin she will marrē ya" (exact wording) So glad I have boys!!Good Wednesday (Pinesday!) morning, Christmas friends!

Going to look up some Christmas ideas today. Maybe find a recipe, and bake 
Now that's a plan!Going to look up some Christmas ideas today. Maybe find a recipe, and bake
Bernie is an imposing figure, but he's never been anything except kind to me (luckily!). Looking back, I was seldom as respectful to a girl's dad as I expect boys to be with me. It's a source of shame for me, when I think back.
The shoe is on the other foot now!
Good evening.
The weather made a drastic shift. Yesterday it was raining and storming, 60 degrees. Now it is snowing and windy. Soooo, Henry and I are watching Polar Express, fire in the fireplace, and drinking hot chocolate. Nice relaxing evening.

Feel better
We are supposed to get 4 to 8 inches of snow tomorrow. I am off work so I am not to bothered by the snow. Mikes warehouse closed for first and second shift because they are anticipating so many callouts. The downside is he has to work Saturday night now.
I hope everyone had a great day! Enjoy the snow if you get any

Morning MMC! We are in the middle of a snowstorm here after temps in the 50s yesterday. It's crazy. Well Mother Nature was overdue to give us a storm. We are expecting 8-12 inches here. Looks like we have 2 inches or so right now and it is going to snow the next 6-8 hours at an inch or more per hour. I am staying home from work today unless it drastically clears later this morning which looks doubtful. Just heard some trucks are stuck in the snow...if trucks are getting stuck in this how is my little car going to drive in it? Hope everyone stays safe if you are in any bad weather today! Spring is coming soon!
Good Morning ... Well the kids and I have a snow day today although we are not getting as much snow as they originally called for 
I will spend part of this snow day trying a new recipe for whole wheat dinner rolls and maybe granola bars. Going to make a roast for dinner so the house should smell great all day May even pop in a christmas movie while baking.
Hope everyone has a great day

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!
All of you affected by snow, stay safe!! I wish we could see just a little snow this year, but it's not likely.
I have to finish selling spaghetti plates for our church fund-raiser today, and get the money to the treasurer tonight. I was selling tickets here at work yesterday, and I got around to an old friend's desk. I grew up with this guy, and we ran the roads together back in the day. He has always gotten the best of me, financially-speaking, and yesterday was no different. The plates were $7 each and he said all he had was a $20 bill. He would take three plates, but I had to put in the last dollar. Every single time!! Grr!! Oh, he thought that was hilarious! LOL
I hope y'all have a great day!
