We always eat at home for Valentine's Day. It is much better having an evening without the crowds.

Greetings all
Early for me. I sit here as my house is being cleaned. So grateful to have a trustworthy and reliable house cleaner. She pet sits for us too. Planning for the day whi*****ludes gym time, studio and maybe a quick store trip.
Ann I have onion ring envy. The ones I bought yesterday were sort of soggy. I am remembering a restaurant from childhood that had the best onion rings. Think and crispy. Glad you found good ones AND a good sushi place. Isn't it fun to drive in a new snow and be the first one to make tracks?!
69 days Peps. Yay. Enjoy the planning of all the stuff you are going to do. What did you think of that Westminster winner? Glad you had the face consult. Sounds like a good doc.
Got a question cleared up about the cataract surgery eyedrops. Not an allergy issue. Will pick them up today. It's getting real.
Liz hope your new friends can move successfully. Movers will do the packing but it ain't cheap. Enjoy the chili. Guess people in Fla eat chili too!
Paula good luck on your "mission".
DH brought a costco casserole home so I guess thats dinner for a few days. Ok by me. Meanwhile time to get moving. Will try to force myself listen to some newer music.

I actually know Adam and Katie Bernardin and had the chance to meet Monty in person last June when Katie brought him to Vallejo for the Woofstock cluster of shows. He is a magical dog in person. He seems less so on the screen. I am very happy that he won. Katie and Monty are a magnificent team and he is very deserving of the win.
That said, however, I was really routing for the Skye Terrier. I was there when he won Montgomery County Kennel Club in October. He is a stunning dog and owner handled. He is a once in a lifetime dog! That dog had my heart last night!
I saw a picture of Monty with (I assume) Katie, and I thought he was such a handsome fellow. I didn't realize the big Schnauzers were that big! Our granddog is a mini-Schnauzer, although he's not THAT mini--25 pounds. He's a sweetie pie, even though he acts grumpy sometimes.

Costco makes casseroles for you! What don't they have?

NOTHING! Costco is magical to me!

Quick check in. I went to work today and was told multiple times by teachers and students, why are you here? The kids were kind of sweet, one was Mrs. DD, you have to go home, you're too sick. My team teacher said he would be disappointed if he saw me tomorrow. So I left during my prep,(luckily last hour of the day) and put in for a sub. As luck would have it, I got one of the good ones, so I'm trying to not feel guilty. I'm not getting worse, just not getting better. I'll surely turn the corner soon. DH is still okay :) Thanks for all the good wishes, you're all the best.
Fingers and toes crossed that you are past the worst and will improve quickly (and that DH won't catch it).

Yes, what Liz said! I feel like one of those television evangelists who like to slap people on the forehead and say, "Out, damned spot!" Or words to that effect.
