Good morning!

Hello LW"s!

Off and running again today, found out my car needs four new tires and an alignment. Wish Santa could have brought them. Oh well, such is life.

Then need to clean and get ready for my son's 18th birthday party Saturday. Working 12 hours Thursday and Friday. Tomorrow I need to bake a couple of pies for my family to bring to my sister's house on Thanksgiving. Thinking about baking low carb cheesecake in muffin tins, we will see how ambitious I am.

Well hope you all have a great day! Stay warm and safe for all of you on the East getting ready for a big winter storm.

We didn't get nearly as much snow as predicted but it it COLD.  More is expected over the holiday. I have to work on black Friday, so at least won't be fightin those crowds in the snow.

Not too much snow here either, makes me happy!

Good morning!

I feel you on the car issues.  I just got done about a month ago with $600 in break repairs to my Town and Country after some yahoo on the road cut me off. The anti-lock breaks locked up and wouldn't fully release after.

I'm expecting a visit from my mom around noon.  She's bringing her birthday gift for my husband.  He's celebrating his 40th b'day tomorrow.  I've already started on the Thanksgiving sides for Thursday.  I agreed to bring the stuffing and mashed potatoes.  This year I'm going to do a cornbread and sausage stuffing (all gluten-free).  I'm going to see about lightening up on the mashed potatoes and see if the picky eaters of the family notice.  Both my dad and daughter will be the ones to win over.

Have a good day.  Stay safe and warm!

My sister was just telling me about a mashed potato recipe that used mayo.  Wonder if you could use fat free or at least low fat.  Then there are also all the mixed veggie versions, like with califlower or turnips instead of all potatoes. A chicken broth cube adds a lot of flavor too.  Good luck.

Glad you are ok, that must have been pretty scary. Good luck with the potatoes, I but they dont even notice

We had to put 4 new tires on DH car, and get it serviced before our trip.  $1600, yikes.  I feel your pain.

Looks like rain out the window but could be ice.  My only trip will be to the pool and gym on the other side of the resort so that is ok but my DD is suppose to come in from Cleveland tomorrow and I want her drive to be ok. 

Everyone be safe and have a good day.

Its great to have cars, but what an expense!

Hope you are enjoying your trip even though the weather is not cooperating. Good for you for exercising Price! Way to go!!

Hope your daughter makes it in safe and sound.

I have one turning 16 on the 5 of Dec.  :)  I have it easy this year, making Green bean casserole.

I bought rims and tires for my eldest DS last year for Christmas, he could not afford them and I was worried about him.

I had an interview yesterday, went pretty well I think.  I should know by end of week if I get second interview.

I think I am going to get a year gym membership for myself for Christmas.  Still thinking about which gym and waiting to see if I have the job.  The location of my job will determine which gym is closer.

Swinging critters for your job! Love the idea of the membership, a gift that will last all year long!
