Good Morning Everyone!

We are at a balmy 5.9 degrees at 4:30 this morning.  Brr!  I have only today and tomorrow (weather permitting) to swim today.  I stopped doing anything vigorous when I went off my arthritis meds a couple of weeks ago.  45 minutes into the swimming, my knees start protesting.  I usually stay in an hour.

Yesterday, after work, I stopped at Best buy to get Momma Mia, the movie.  It looked like I got the last copy on the shelf.  I also looked at Ulta.  I stopped to get a haircut, but Bo-Rics was closed, with no explanation if it was because of lunch or what.  So no haircut.  I also stopped at Sally's Beauty Supply and got some salon quality hair color to try Saturday morning.

I got home for about 15 minutes.  Then my DH and I went out to Kohls (way too pricey!) and Wal-Mart to look for clothes for the grandkids.  Earlier yesterday, I had volunteered to pick up something for my parents to give to the grandkids and my DD thought warm clothes would be the best.

Well, I need to get my day going.  I want to stop at Meijer before I get to work since it may be dangerous on the drive home.

Keep safe and warm!

Good morning!

It certainly is chilly out there!  I'm up and hoping to get out early to finish up my last minute projects.  They are still projecting a possibility of 12 inches of snow!!!    I need to get some salt for the sidewalk, I feel sorry for everyone having to walk anywhere when the weather is bad.  I hope that everyone has a safe and warm day!

Hello everyone

Well I got the laundry done last night and put away.  I live in a building with businesses on the first floor and apartments on the second floor.  I got home last night and there was a note on everyone's doors from one of the businesses down stairs (not the landlord) asking us not to park in the parking spaces near their business.  This makes me angry.  I live here and I have to park in what ever spot is open.  Especially, when it snows I can't park in the street I will get towed.  I just thought who does she think she is.  I'm going to complain to the landlord.  

Well I'm not liking the forecast at all.  Just think I have to drive down to Champaign.  EEEEKKK.  Tonight I have my weigh-in.  So hopefully I get home before it gets really bad. 

Have a nice warm, safe day.

Good Morning Ilsie and Illinois friends

It is cold and the forecast does not look good for today!  Be safe everyone!  If you dont have to go out, then stay in. 

One advantage of getting sick is I got my scrapbook done!  It actually turned into two scrapbooks as I had so many pages.  Now all I have to do is wrap a mountain of presents and take some to my sister's house this weekend.  Hopefully the weather will be ok. 

Stay warm today and watch out for that ice and snow!

Good Morning,

I am already tired of winter! DH wants me to cancel my
dr appointment for tomorrow. I know its the best thing to do, with the weather systems coming in, but heck! I need a fill and I hate putting it off. But since he won't take me, and I know he's right, I will honor his request and cancel.

I am lucky today, and do not have to travel out of town. If it starts to get bad, I want to send my co-worker home early, since she lives about 45 miles from here, and lives on a country road with 5 kids, and no husband.

Crystal, I would tell the person that wrote the note, that you are gone during regular business hours, so you will not honor her request. And also talk to your landlord.

Ilse, you have a long drive too, I agree, shop before work. That is what I should do too, but its already to late.

Nancy, I am so glad you are finished with your book.

Carla, I want to make potato pancakes with apple sauce and sour cream so bad, but I don't know if they will stay down for me.
Happy Chanukkah to you too.
Please keep us informed, via Paulette, how you are doing.

Time for me to get going. Stay safe and warm, drive carefully.

Hi Monica,
Hanukkah is 8 days. I celebrate by giving all the presants on the first night. I know most give one or 2 a night but I like to get it over with.
We light the menorrah 1 candle the first night and so on.
Anymore questions ask away.
How are you doing?

Hi Carla and thank you for the reply.  I hate it when my 12 yr old is right and I'm not...LOL    I will gracefully let him know though...and he will rub it in..lol

I am doing okay thank you.  I am kinda depressed this year because of not having a job since before my first surgery and money being so tight that I can't really get my kids or hubby anything they want/need for Christmas.  I am giving each one of them a "coupon" for the item they want though and so when I get a job, they will get it.  That's probably Hokey, but what can I do.  I did get each of them some little things that they will like though. 
How are you doing??  could you please send some sun and warm weather this way??  lol

Monica

Good morning everyone,

It certainly seems like we are going to get some pretty bad weather.  I am going to get out and get some stuff done early today and get home before it gets bad.  I have to take my 4yo to the pediatrician and then finish my shoppiing once and for all.  I went to see Dr. Rosen yesterday and I am going back to work on Monday!  I have mixed emotions about that lol.  I am down 25lbs since starting the 2 week liquid diet before my surgery and 11lbs since my surger on 12/02.  I am really happy with my progress.  

Have a great day and stay safe,
Michelle

Michelle,

You'll be btw the day of my surgery.  Where do you work at the hospital?  You know where I will be (LOL)!

I did get a couple of things at Meijer, but would love to stop at Menards and still to try to get a haircut.  I doubt if I will get either done in the next couple of days.

Crystal, I was thinking about you at the laundromat when we drove down 34 past downtown Oswego last night.

To-da-loo!
