Topic: TGIF!!!
Good Morning!!!  How is everyone?  I am off work today, was planning on sleeping in but not happening.  Birds are being noisy, sister called & needed to vent.  Ah well.  Now I am bundled up in the bed with my coffee & the computer just relaxing.  My Thursday was pretty good.  Got the girlie**** Target for a few things, home for dinner & quiet night at home.  We were all in bed early.  On the books for today is enjoying my day off, hitting the mall to make a few returns and such and spend some time with a friend.  It is like 7 degrees here, way colder than we are used to so I don't think I will be outside much.  Tomorrow will be finishing up some things at my condo so that we can get everythign out in prep for the tenant who should be moving in at the end of the month.  Sunday I get to spend some time with my niece (babysitting while my sis & her hubby go on a date), Monday will be getting all the boxes, etc out of the condo.

The latest house update from our realtor, the homeowners accepted our contract, the other realtor has gotten everything together & submitted it to the bank, now we are waiting for the 2 banks to approve.  Of course this is another short sale so we could be waiting for awhile.  Our realtor says she has a good feeling about it so we shall see.  Have a great weekend & stay warm!!

Strawberry tea is pretty yummy!  Perhaps you could give it a try.

Weather is a funny thing up here NOT A WORD ABOUT THE -25 below for the 3 weeks, but as soon as the temp got up into the 30's-40's..... And everything was an ice rink.... Alaska HALTED!!!?????  Funny, huh??

Stew........ we use cut up meat (or sometimes the pork butts, if they are on sale or in our freezer) moose mostly, or rabbit, but, hey, if beef is your thing!!
celery, potatoes, bell pepper, onion, carrots, stewed tomatoes, broccoli.

The seasoning packages I find at Fred Meyer (Kroger)... They are about $2.00.  They generally say something like crockpot seasoning.

Top it off with water.


And, I try to drink warm liquids too, Hunter loves his spiced cider & hot coco.
Mark & I are trying different hot teas.  I personally have never been a tea drinker, but, hey, I can change!!  Tried a chamomile, that was alright (nothing but tea bag & water... ice cube to cool it down)  Tried peppermint.  Nah, made it throught the cup, but nah.

Ohhh stew sounds sooo good but with my injured hand cooking has been left up to my husband and I highly doubt I can get him to make that.   Maybe I'll try it this weekend.   Got a good recipe for it in the crockpot?   Of course there's no school today but it didn't stop my son from going to the Y to play basketball instead.

Michelle-
Glad you are feeling better.  How is Sadie??

Stew.... crockpot!!!!   MMMMMMMMMM

That helped me out with the nearly 3 weeks of the -25 below cold snap here.  I know that winter is not even over, so I know we will have the weather again, it is just nice to have the above zero temps!!! (schools were closed yesterday & today due to high winds & plus 40 weather... slick road conditions)

How are you?  My Wednesday was pretty good.  Worked & then stopped by my old bosses for a chat.  Home for dinner & another quiet night at home.  Much of the same today except we get the girlies.  Tomorrow is a holiday at work so today is like my Friday!!!  Hope you have a great one!

I think we're trading weather.   LOL   By Monday we're supposed to be back up to 30 but we have a few days yet of not getting above zero first.   Tomorrow I refuse to leave the house!

Michelle............... Talk about the FLIP SIDE OF THE COIN!!!!!
We warmedn up above zero yesterday, at last.... after like 3 weeks at -25 below or colder... it was getting OLD, lemme tell ya.

This morning.... it was RAINING & is now 40 above!!!!  The wind gusts along the hillside in Anchorage are supposed to be 75 to 105 MPH today  High wind warning.
The wind is gusting here too, making my long hair stand on end, so i put it back into a ponytail.

They closed the schools due to the freezing rain conditions.
