Trish, weren't you the first one to make a roast this past week? Looks like we started a trend, lol. I did add a little something this last time. One of those small 8 oz cans of tomato sauce. Perked up the taste a little and was pretty good.

Frank, I hear ya about the online stuff. I hate looking for something and finding out it's available online only. Ugh!

Sarah, Sorry to hear about the staying late and having to go back in. Glad someone's there to do the morning shift. I remember being an assistant manager for a gas station and having to pull an all day during flu season 'cuz there was no one else.

Sandy, hope you got all the cleaning done.

~~~~~~~

Morning all. Only major plan today is to go back to the gallery to pick stuff up. Didn't find out whether or not that one was sold, the guy that kept the list going was on dinner break when we got there yesterday. So I'll find out today, which is cool with me.

I'm wishing I hadn't left that prescription at the doc's office and could've filled it sooner, lol. The pain's not totally gone, but it is much more manageable. So it looks like the med might indicate this may be MS related.

Hope everyone has a great day today.

I was thinking of throwing some french onion soup mix on the roast have not done that in a long time or teryaki sauce with spuds and carrots oh sooo goooooddddddd

Frank....mmmmm

Sorry if lately I sound all complainer mode....gosh...I am usually a chipper...happy go lucky spirit...and been a blahhh lately....just probably with the sickness...and the work..and whatnot...but sorry...

Coffee is on, body is in pain, throat sore...but I am pretty good...

coffee coffee give me coffee....

hugss to you all...I head in for 2-10pm I think today! then work tomorrow morning...then suppose to be off three days yeahhhhhh glad it landed like that...now that working the later times...

hugsss, sarah

Sarah, don't worry about it. We all have those ups and downs.

As to the coffee - totally agree with ya! Coffee is my wake up juice in the morning.

Good Morning! I have been up for awhile. I had one of those nights where every time I fell asleep and straightened out my left leg, I would get muscle spasms. I am going with friends to play longenberger (spelling? I know I spelled that wrong) bingo this afternoon, and then we are going out for an early dinner and exchanging XMAS presents.

Our bad weather is supposed to hit late tonight -- raining turning to freezing rain and then snow tomorrow and Tuesday. It has already been windy. (I hope Sandy's decorations have not all blown away. They are also saying that there is a chance of rain/snow on Thursday, which is when I am supposed to leave for Ohio. I am driving so if you would all pray to the snow Gods and ask them to hold off on the snow I would appreciate it.

I have to admit something here -- I hate roasts. I think it goes back to those dried out, chewy roasts we would have for dinner on Sundays with roasted potatoes and carrots. Yuck! In fact I am not too fond of any kind of beef with the exception of the occasional mushroom, swiss cheeseburger.

Speaking of food, do you guys eat dairy? I have read that it causes inflamation, but my neuro does not advocate any diet except for moderation. I love cheese so giving up dairy would be really tough.

Sarah, I cannot believe how hard you work. Is there any way you guys can hire another asst manager or cut down on your hours?

Barb, I do 38-40 hours a week....I cant afford to cut back... at all..

Plus here I worked the double shift yesterday...wishing it would have been overtime...but I was home sick from work friday..so my hours averaged out..shucks....doing double day shoudl be overtime....

anyhow...thanks for caring...both hubby and I work full time..and still havent been able to keep up with the bills..so I cant cut back much...some weesk I do...like this next week..starting today...our weeks are sun-sat...I am off tues wed and thurs yeahhh...

I just might someday have to find work not so tolling on my body...too...as even regular shifts can be too much...and yesterday was WAY too much...hurting...a lot...

hugss all, sarah (I did buy some green/red MandMs and some hershey kisses...for cooking baking soon!! yeahhhh)

Jim and I are heading out to get last minute stocking stuffers and his dirty santa gift at Wally World. We're also going to pick up groceries since the boys come home today. Nik's b-day is today but we wont see him much. By the time he gets home we are heading out to shop and then he's going to the movies tonight. It's going to be a quick singing of the birthday wishes. lol I can't believe I no longer have a teenager, he's 20 today. *sigh*

Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning! It's cloudy and cold here today but next week it's supposed to get to the upper 60's! It is December, isn't it??

I don't have much going on today. I got one of those really big George Foreman grills with the gift cards I got for my birthday so we plan on having hamburgers on that for supper tonight. I'm going to make some baked beans and pasta salad. Yum....can't wait!

I make a pot roast every now and then. Seems like when I make it in the crock pot it never turns out as good as when I cook it slowly in the oven. I use my Mom's recipe....it's a little time consuming but it's well worth it. And I have time now to spend on something like that. I plan on making some chili to freeze, too.

When I went out to get my paper this morning I looked at the neighbor's house (the one they drove through ) and they have a big blue tarp over the crashed in area. We're supposed to get rain through Thursday of next week so I hope they get it fixed soon!

We get a daily paper free with our cable subscription but they have given us notice that they will not be doing that anymore this coming year....guess the cost of it is just too much. I loved getting it because of the Sunday coupons.

I hope everybody has a nice, peaceful Sunday. Prayers for those up north in the ice storm. Bad weather is one thing but bad weather without power is the pits.

sarah dont fret none

back again just put a star on a manger and re-did the weather seal on front door and storm(part of it ran out) life goes on and I am not going out again been out three trips already today
