Jan, I'm sure those folks will miss you. I have been busy cleaning and getting my summer clothes out to the garage. I have tomorrow off too so I hope to be able to relax and do things I really want to do. It does feel good to get the clutter out though.
Greg is coming back this afternoon for the week. He is doing community service at Wayside Waifs 3 days a week. He and Barbara had their ups and downs, but had a long civil talk so things are better or at least they were yesterday. She admitted she has some problems she needs to address and that she is tired of her mother trying to control her. Max and I never argue. We don't always agree but there's never any angry words or yelling so I don't understand my son engaging in that kind of behavior. His father and I didn't do that so he didn't grow up in that environment.
I made meat loaf muffins and scalloped potatoes for dinner. I'll cook some green beans and that's dinner. I have cream cheese softening to make a SF, low fat cheesecake.
Watched Knight and Day with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz last night. It was okay but a little exagerated.

Jan, your trip sounds like so much fun. You will love the fruit tree place and the view would be great. Enjoy those spa days. I need that!!
My cabinets are so neat now. I tossed out a bunch of stuff like Grape-Nuts cereal I've had for years. I'm never going to eat them. There were aged Cheerios and shredded wheat. I tossed out the jar of fake peanut butter powder. Some people love it but I don't. I want the real thing. Everything like soy and almond flour, Splenda, etc., is in Lock & Lock containers and labeled.
I got 4 movies from Red Box and have watched 2 on my little portable DVD player. Neither one was very good. Run the Distance with Drew Barrymore sounded good but the language was awful.
I just reopened my Facebook account. Still not sure I really want to mess with it.

Happy New Year!!
Jan, I wouldn't mind working today if I got double pay. Good deal for you. I've never really minded cold weather until the last couple of years and I hate it. Yesterday started out rather balmy but by mid-day it turned very cold and the wind was awful. Fortunately, the weather people were way off as they are most of the time.
How sad for those in the storm area yesterday. The weather all over the country is strange.
We went to Ruby Tuesdays because we had a coupon for a free meal. The have the best salad bar and I went there very hungry so I got the salad bar and a meal. I was feeling full just eating the salad. I ordered ribs with sauce on the side, baked potato and mashed cauliflower. The ribs weren't fatty at all. Ribs always jump off the menu at me. I love them and never fix them at home. I ate a couple bites of potato and cauliflower and 2 ribs and couldn't eat any more. So I have a meal for another day.
Max's knee is really hurting so he didn't go the hockey game. He went to bed early and I stayed up watching TV and playing Solitaire on the Kindle. Didn't make it to midnight though. A lot of people in my area were shooting off fireworks and guns. Really hate the guns. You don't know where those bullets might land.
Today, I'm going to clean out the kitchen cabinets. Don't know why but it's something I always do on New Year's Day.

Topic: RE: What's happening New Year's Eve!!
Debbie, sounds like you are looking forward to a great year. I haven't made any resolutions but New Year's Day is a favorite day for me. It's like we have a clean slate to start over.
I need to exercise more too. My gym membership is on hold. I just can't make myself go out in the evening after work when it's so cold. Maybe I should change at work and directly to the gym. I have a Health Ryder but it's in my sewing room in the garage and it's very cold out there. I have heaters out there but it takes a while for it to warm up. Then there are the exercise DVDs. I got a portable DVD player for Christmas so I have a way to workout where it's warm.
We did a book review on the Chronicle of Narnia and I've seen the movie.
Debbie, I started reading the Bible the last 2 years, but just couldn't stick with it. I bought a Bible that is in chronological order. I'm only 6 miles from Lee's Summit so I would be interested in the class you mentioned. I'll send you my personal email so you can email me directly.
I do like hummus. Can't remember the brand I get at Hy-Vee but it has a red lid and is over $4. I like the garlic flavor or the one with pine nuts. The flavor I bought at Aldi's is Cayenne Pepper. It's a little spicey but not real hot. I had it with pita chips.

We were spared the damage from the storms yesterday. My heart goes out to all those who lost a loved one or their homes. Because it was a holiday a lot of people on the fort were away with family so injuries were were less than they would have been.
I agree Jan ,if I could get my money out of my house I would leave in a heart beat. But with real estate being what it is I would have to take a loss so I have to wait. I just can't afford to lose that much. I think 2012 will be my year to try. I hope values will come back up some.
I hope everyone has a wonderful new year and does something special for today . 1-1-11 should be remembered.

Glad you are ok. It hit hard close to me also. The fort is a mess. No one killed thankfully but there was in Rolla.
