I think we'll buy a pumpkin today to carve for Halloween! Kevin said he'd do it...I'm no good at carving plus with my numb right hand me and a knife are not a good combination!!

I'm sitting here enjoying a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee!! I don't ever buy it 'cos it's too expensive but Kevin went to Publix on his way home last night to get something and noticed they had it for $5.99 a bag so he bought me some! What a sweetie!! It's soooo good...not sure what they do to it but it's definitely better than the other brands.

Kay, I remembered about the eggs but I've never gotten sick before....and I've been eating cookie dough for years!! Now that I've said that I've jinxed myself so I better stop eating it now!!

Gonna be sunny and 68 degrees here today but next week the bottom is supposed to drop out and be in the low 30's and high 50's. If only it'd stay like that year round.....I'd be so happy!!

Can ya'll believe that in two weeks time we've accumulated 601 posts to this thread!!

Kelly we buy the DD beans and grind them each day its so good, a lot cheaper too

If I forget someone sorry. A little slow this morn, so the brain is kinda stuck, LOL

Renee, Glad your mom is doing more now. It's sometimes amazing the change in attitude when you decide to strike out on your own. Been there, done that Hope this flare subsides soon and you're feeling better.

Deb, LOL. We have a rule that has stood since we got married. My hubby gets to sample whatever I'm baking, because I quite often bake stuff for others and don't want him to steal any.

Frank, Don't worry about trying to remember all our names. Of all people, we understand the block in the mind sometimes. But appreciate the try.

Kelly, that's what I forgot, a pumpkin to carve. Kinda hesitant to get one before the 31st. Been a lot of pumpkin smashing going on in our neighborhood this year.

Kay, hope the rain stays away to give you guys a chance to dry out a little.

Hi all. Sitting here sipping my coffee. Hubby let me sleep in, and probably needed it.

Hubby fixed my car last evening, but then my battery died. LOL! Oh well, it survived two replacements of the alternator due to a recall and then them messing up the work of the recall. 5 years is a good life for a car battery. Gonna have to get one from the parts store today.

Other than that, not quite sure what we're up to today.

Oh got the final piece of my puzzle, so should be ready to go business wise. Hopefully will have my stuff together and offically ready the weekend after the elections.

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Good morning everyone! This week has gone by so fast I can't keep up. My mom said after a certain age the days go faster than a possum in heat! lol

I have read each and every post and it's good to see everyone here and those who have been gone for a bit. to all.

Hey Frank, no longer riding on the merry-go-rouuuuuuunnnnnddddd...I just had to let it go.

Renee, I hope you get that camera charged so we can see the house.

Kelly, they have new battery operated carvers you can buy at Walgreens or Walmart! Way cool. hahaha

Jenn, glad your car is fixed and all you need is the battery. I am so excited for you and your new business!

Deb, Jim licks everything I make. lmao

Kay, whooohoo, I am hearing "Who'll stop the rain?"

Sarah, I hope you get some rest later today.

Momma, I can't get used to your new name and forget it's you. What does your name mean?

Everyone hiding in the shadows

I am chilling today. I may pick up the paint brush to start the basement. I'll be glad when I can pick up the smaller one. I just don't have the motivation just yet for some reason.

Jim is playing on the computer later. He's sleeping now even though we just woke up at 10am. I think we contracted Wiz's sleep in virus. lol

Good Morning everyone! (that is how I cover everyones's name, Frank) Hope everyone is having a decent Sunday.

Kelly, It is 57 degree here tight now; supposed to go up to 61. The next few days are going to be in the 40s. BRRRRRRRRRRRR!

I do not have anything planned for today. I have been putting away capri's and getting out cord's. I am making a pork and sauerkraut dinner in the crock pot for tonight. I put chopped up apples and caraway seed in it too. It's a low point dinner.(WW)

I enjoyed Second City last night. It was there traveling group, but still pretty funny.

I need to go get a pumpkin too. I have put out my Halloween decorations. My sister from Austin, BIL, and adorable, smart, funny niece are going to be here this weekend. They are flying in for a wedding. Anya, who is almost 3, is going to be a butterfly for Halloween. She originally wanted to be Darth Vader, and she told me that I should dress up like Yoda.

Oh man, then you'd have to be on your knees the whole night! Ouch!

Hey all. Arms are bugging me out. didnt get much sleep. My dd sprained
her wrist yesterday. Its in a brace but neg. xrays. Was up much of the
night with her as it was uncomfortable.

Also my littlest munchkin woke up with a nose bleed so he came and
got me. looked like a horror show(Happy Halloween!).....blood everywhere.

All is better this a.m. cept me. I just need a good nights rest.

love to everyone........I apologize for not personally saying hi to all.

Off to rest.........................

I was chatting with my mother who is 80 and lives by herself. I call her every day and she lives near my brother, sister, and their families. She still drives and goes to a variety of senior get togethers throughout the week. She has arthritis and a variety of other health problems that you would expect when you are 80.

Well, her legs are really bothering her and I get that; I am sympathetic. But today (and most days) she goes on and on how her legs and knees are stiff at night and in the morning and how she has trouble walking at those times and she might need a came. But that would be horrible!!! Does she not get who she is talking to? A 51 year old who is using a cane and who does not know if she will be walking in 5 years!!!

I usually just ask her what she has been doing, but then I get the whole saga of her pains... And only occasionally does she ask me how I am feeling and then she can't hear me and talks over me.

Okay -- rant is over.She does this to both of my sisters and brothers too. I guess you just get more and more self absorbed as you age? We just have to love our mothers.

snow possible tonight flurries anyhow...

ahhhh

DD coffee..mmmmmmm gotta go get a bag soon...ran out...just last year they finally started selling it around here....otherwise been DD free for long time....

I am thinking of taking a small break..maybe come check in once or twice a week....although I would have sooo much to read then..lol....

but sometimes I get on here...or other computer stuff...and read and read and read...nice for quiet time..but not as productive as I could use more time reading to the kids...or hanging with them....more....taking walks more often...

anyhow...thinking about it...I will let you know later...but I would still pick two days a week or one and check in....anyhow...hugssss gotta go...tummy hurts...and want to eat and try to nap...hugsss,sarah

Sarah, totally understand the need to take a break from time to time.

Barb, LOL! Parents are like that sometimes. Gotta love 'em.

Sox, Sorry to hear your munchkin had a nosebleed last night. Also sorry to hear about your DD's sprain, but glad it wasn't broken.

~~~~~

My car is back, yea!!! But OMG car batteries are almost double what it cost the last time we had to replace one!

Gonna take it easy the rest of today and make my to do list for the week. There's a lot of projects around the home I want to get done, so gonna spend some time breaking stuff down.
