Yes, no ads! I'm watching a local news stories. They are not hyping up anything political, but talking about voting laws in Minnesota. The Secretary of State said we will get big turnout, with little drama. He added Minnesotans love to vote. It's true, we typically have one of the highest voter turnout in the country.
Getting dressed to go be one of those Minnesotans. One of my parting gifts for my school is making sure I vote wisely for school board.
Weight 118.6. Justice is 11.2 - he is about a pound overweight. I was able to grab him to weigh this morning. I knew he was up because he has a bit extra around the neck. I measure his food so the excess is entirely due to DH sharing. I finally got DH to stop giving him nuts because they wreaked havoc on Justice's tiny intestinal system, but DH says he just can't deny those soulful eyes. Justice knows how to put the act on with DH - he never begs with me.
Today may be a bit rainy but we have inside stuff to do. The plumber is coming to fix the two leaking toilets and the kitchen faucet this morning. I am putting a second coat of paint in the too dark end table which has now had its first coat of off-white. I'm having a hard time maneuvering to paint in the spare bedroom so I may need to move my project elsewhere.
Tonight we are out to dinner and then to the first of our subscription shows at the local theatre. It is a comedy which several people said is quite madcap and a bit over the top at times but quite funny.
Have a totally political ad-free Tuesday (I am so glad I don't have to watch them anymore)!

That makes it worth it. I will likely visit with SIL on my hair days. When I am home at Christmas I think I have 2 days when I have appointments clustered there. I probably need to change my doctors and dentist to Florida as there are no choices way out on the Cape near DH's house. But I am keeping my hairdresser there!

Added bonus, mine is my Nephew's wife. I love getting the scoop on my great nephews.
I will be driving 100 miles round trip from now on in Massachusetts. Having a hairdresser one trusts is critical!

I am lucky my ring size doesn't change a lot but it is because they have to fit over my knuckles which are enlarged from arthritis. So they spin more when I am thinner but the size is still correct to accommodate my knuckle.

Your instructions are how I've always cooked winter squash sans double baking it. Yum! Squash with butter and brown sugar! Acorn used to be my favorite but now I prefer Butternut!

Winter squash of all kinds...so yummy! Cease and desist further squash peeling by cutting squash in half, pull seeds, then oil, grease, butter (which ever way you prefer) the exposed flesh and season. Place flesh side down onto a baking sheet or heavy cast iron and roast in oven till tender. The air cavity will keep the squash moist while baking and the squash will all but drop out of the skin as you scoop it out. For an extra treat, mash and prepare as you might a twice baked potato, restuff into the peel and rebake.
Paula, FYI, my ring size went from 7 at 150 pounds to size 6 at 135 pounds to 5.5 at 128 pounds.
You might want to wait a bit. in the meantime you can buy on Amazon some plastic thingies that serve as temporary ring tighteners.
