Oops! Posted on the wrong day...

Haha, my bff has tried for years to get friends to address him as HRH, but to no avail.

Having a lovely time with my friend who is visiting. We are heading to Santa Fe on Sunday if significant snow stays out of the forecast for there. Currently watching search and rescue operations from here as a 25 year old has gone missing from the trailhead near my house. They found his car there, but no sign of him since the 9th. Not a good sign. A 69 years old woman with dementia wandered away from home Sunday and was found near my house the next afternoon. She thankfully was unharmed despite freezing temps. How lucky we are to wander through each day relatively unscathed!

Last night we went to dinner with my friend and neighbor. We had a great time. The food was amazing. It's the restaurant that books out 6 weeks in advance. I have decided to just get random reservations there each month. I can use them or give them to friends.

Bad timing, but I am getting my hair done today. Roots wait for no woman. My friend will wander old town Cottonwood to pass the time as the salon is there. Kirby has had a long walk this morning. We hiked (without him) yesterday for 5.4 miles. My feet and ankles were exhausted from all the rocky trails.

I should get moving... take care everyone!

150.8, I liked the 140's better.

DH working all weekend so I pretty much have the house to myself. I think today will be balancing the checkbooks, maybe entering in my business expenses/income to my spreadsheet and then if I am super motivated, a little basement cleanup......or I could just take a nap with the dogs! Lol!

Dinner with friends last night was fun, we always have good conversation with them. They are actually DS2's ex's parents that we became friends with!

DSD and fiancé will be coming here again next weekend. We are going to see Murr from Impractical Jokers (a tv show) at our local comedy club on Saturday night. They may need to head back to ND for a few days before returning for Thanksgiving. Tis the season for busyness! I should put the Christmas tree up but they bring their cat when they visit and I'm not sure I want to deal with the cat in the tree!

Liz, your dinner last night sounds awesome! Glad your lady friend's found each other and can be travel partners!

I think your title must be commensurate with your role and reputation: "My Queen"!

119.4 - official recorded weight for the week. I was a bit surprised as we did have the wine dinner last night with multiple courses. I only ate part of each course though.

Speaking of the Spanish wine dinner, it was so much fun. We get all dressed up in ****tail dresses and suit coats. The tables have fancy linens and amazing crystal candelabras. The food is delivered with a flourish, the chef comes to each table and talks about how he prepared it, and the wine representative talks about the wine paired with that course. We were at a table of 8 with people who we know fairly well. Nice night though expensive especially since we ordered a case of wine. Half the case is a sparkling cava which is a bubbling rose which was more like champagne than Prosecco with very gentle bubbles. Luckily that wine is relatively inexpensive. We plan to serve it at Thanksgiving.

One of the women at our table is a relatively recent widow and another woman with us has a partner who travels a lot for business. They started talking about doing some trips together. Very nice for the both of them.

Today is a more focused day. First priority is the long walk which I missed yesterday because of golf lessons. We have a meeting with my financial advisor mid-morning, then our regular monthly meeting to split expenses. I may feel poor again by mid-day LOL.

Time to get motivated. Have a filling Friday!

I love the title! I think you should try it for sure! Sure beats Granny or Old Broad!
