first, LOVE the new avvy, Bluesie!

we don't really have a "business" per se, just sometimes too much of one thing to consume... like eggs, or milk, or fruit.

usually, we trade with our neighbors, for whatever they have too much of.

like, a duck, in exchange for a huge pile of lettuce, for example.

so yesterday's deal was cool, because it involved actual cash money.

Good Morning everyone! You "oldies" all know I was just kidding. Right?

I do not have too much planned for today. I am going to watch a friend's daughter receive her black belt in a ceremony at 4:00. Katie is in 5th grade. It looks like it is going to be another gloomy day here in Central Illinois. I definitely feel better when it is sunny.

I am a bit worried about the weather this week. (Yes, I am still talking about the weather. I know who is really boring on this thread). I am supposed to go to St. Louis on Wednesday for an appointment at Barnes Hospital with MS specialist and I do not want to cancel. They are forecasting a rain/snow mixture, then snow for Tuesday/Wednesday. It took me 2 months to get this appointment. Oh well, there is nothing I can do about the weather.

I am trying to decide whether or not to join Facebook. Alot of faculty are doing this now as a way to keep in touch with current and former students.

Morning. We've been up since 8am drinking coffee. I am dreading the wedding already. There will be over 200 people and we don't know but maybe 5 that will be there. lol I am sure it will be fine once we're there.

Curious, who the heck was it you talked to?

Tara, is that you in the avatar?

Have a good day everyone. I'll try to report back in after the wedding.

.........w00t............

can not figure why I am so tired, did dishes preparing a meal for later this week, some beautiful baby back ribs I rub the heck out of them with some bbq rub then am slow baking them, the house smells so dang good, gonna drown them in some chilies bbq sauce then use my bday gift a sealer for food and seal them with more sauce so it soaks in deep into the beautiful baby back ribs and then pig out with someone a couple someones, on weds, just ran out again to two more stores searching for cups founds some and at a sale price too then ran to my moms dropped off a boot for her sore foot make it easier to walk, then I just prepped 180 more cups for Debbie and all this since 5 am on one cup of coffee, wht is wrong with me that requires at least 2 if not 3 cups of the nectar of the java gods and juan valdez himself

Any prerequisites for joining in here? I love chocolate and have a whole box I haven't even opened yet

I did manage to take down all my decorations yesterday even though I'm walking like a penguin. I did leave the tree up and will for one more week. I got a Wii fit for Christmas and I'm so anxious to start using it. But, from what I've read, you have to feel your legs first

Now I have to squeeze my feet into my shoes and go to church.

Hope everyone has a nice, relaxing Sunday

The hubby and son are off to church, my late night dealing with tummy issues kept me at home. So I'll putter around here, do some prep for lunch and rest.

Frank those ribs are sounding delicious. I keep forgetting I can use the Food Saver for marinating meat.

Hope everyone has a good day.
