Happy Monday to you too.

Monica,, Scott and Morgan came for dinner yesterday. We had a simple ham dinner. Nothing fancy. Very layed back.

I didn't realize it started raining this afternoon. I noticed that it seemed to get dark about 3:30 or so. I don't mind the rain, but where does all the traffic come from? I leave work at the same time every work day and I never run into traffic, except when it rains or snows.

I am glad Liv had a great weekend.

Have a great evening,

Hugs,

Happy Monday, friends!

Well.....Olivia had quite the adventure Friday night.  It was pretty scary for me and she got to spend $140.00 on a hotel room 45-60 minutes from her destination. Maybe she will learn to listen to the advice that is given when she asks for it.  Hahaha!

She got back to her dorm yesterday with no problem, she said the weather was beautiful, 50 and sunny.  The trip to the aquarium was a success, she said.  She met with a nephew of a friend of mine that works there and she was able to go, "behind the scenes" and talk with him about internships.  She got to visit the Varsity Diner in Atlanta and had a good visit with her friend and his family.

I was pretty lazy over the weekend.  I made seafood etoufee' yesterday and it was delicious.  Of course, there is plenty left over.  I just need to find a couple more uses for seafood stock.

Not too much else happening here, how about you all?

Happy weekend to you too. I try to do that with my socks too, but I still have a lot of the before socks. So, as I weed them out, I still have some. The pair am wearing today will be going in the trash. They both have small holes in the heels.

I am slowing getting the books ready for taxes. I am always glad when that job is done.

I put a chicken cassarole on for dinner. Very simple, shredded chicken, celery, onions sometimes, 10 slices of torn bread and broth to moisten. baked at 375  until brown on top  with cream of celery soup as the gravy.  Mashed potatoes and green peas round it out. There will be enough  left over for lunches this week.

Have a great weekend.

Hello everyone

I am having a relaxing Saturday.  I am watching TV and during the commercials I am cleaning the house.  Later tonight we are going out to eat and then to a comedy show...I am calling it a date night.  He laughed and said every night is date night with me. 

I needed a relaxing day and go out and have some fun.  I had a very busy stressful week at work.  The auditors are coming next week and I wasn't given the list of items they need till Wednesday and told it's needed by Friday.  This immediately gave me a headache that lasted for more than 24 hours.  Ugh!!!  I was able to make the deadline by the skin of my teeth.  I was done literally right at 4pm on Friday.  See when the auditors come it's my job to do all the prep work and my old boss takes it from there.  So unless they have any questions about the work I furnished...my job is done.  So next week should be back to be boring.

This weekend is Greg's mom estate sale.  Hopefully it is very successful. 

Lisa-  I don't really bother with socks.  I have 3 types of socks.  I have my black dress socks, my white athletic socks, and my ultra warm hiking socks.  I buy the same of each.  So when I grab 2 black socks or two white they are always a match.  It's my lazy method I came up with so I don't have to A) deal with pairing socks B) even if I lose a sock there is always another match.  It's my system it works for me.  LOL. 

Dawn- Hope Liv got back safely

I managed to lose a pound this week.  I have been trying to eat good.  Hopefully I will lose another pound next week.

Well see ya later...have a good weekend.

Hi All,

Dawn, will keep Liv in my thoughts.

We have no plans at all for this weekend, except Hubert is working the whole weekend.

I will be heading to the store in a bit, and maybe meeting a friend for lunch. i have done laundry already and matched over 20 pairs of socks that were not together in my drawer. I was wondering why i couldn't find any pairs.

Have a great weekend, and I am so glad the snow is mixing us for a change.

Hugs,

Happy Friday, Illinois!

I wish you all a fantastic Friday and weekend!

After work, I have a chiropractor appointment then nothing planned for the weekend!  I am happy about that as it seems we have been busy lately and I have lots of housework to catch up on.  Next weekend is Todd's Christmas Party/Hotel weekend, so nothing will get done there.

I am a little concerned about Olivia tonight.  She is driving 5 hours to visit a friend and go to the Atlanta Aquarium tomorrow.  All sounds good except for the storm that is on the east coast.  That and the fact that southerners have no idea how to drive or behave in ice and snow.  I will just keep my fingers crossed and hope her good sense guides her.  She had never driven alone for any long distance, and this will be in the dark and weather.  Y'all keep her in your thoughts, please.

Besides that, not much happening in the northwest corner.

What's happening with you all?

 

Tell someone that you love them!
