Greetings all
Early check in for this old lady. It is sunny (maybe only temporary) and I have gallery duty this afternoon. Yesterday was our anniversary party there and we had big sales! So I expect it to be slow today and I will spend some time trying to figure out how to minimize gallery taxes for the year. With any luck there will be some good snacks left over from the party.
Yesterday was pretty much dedicated to football and laundry. I did get to the gym so I don't feel too bad about missing today. Maybe I will walk around the gallery between spreadsheets and get some steps in.
More guests Liz!!! You know how to live. Sounds like the sisters can keep themselves entertained so that is good. And I too love restaurants that will do half orders or small plates.
Peps everyone needs a pj day once in awhile and you have catching up to do. Puppy tails and dew claws? Good on you for cooking a nice dinner. You are doing great weight wise.
I am sort of looking forward to Christmas this year. Odd because I used to be sort of a Scrooge due to years of family conflicts. Maybe I am over that. Mainly thinking about music and Christmas movies I want to watch again. Go figure.
Yes Paula induction stove! That is what I want. Thanks for the encouragement. I did look at a few yesterday but the store was busy and I didn't get sales help. Think I will go back on a week day when they are not busy. Need to figure out the difference between the $1200 model and the $3000 model. We will need a few new pans but not lots. (don't tell DH or he will order dozens)

201.9 for me this morning.
Liz, it must be nice to have your house back to yourself, even if it is just for a day or two before the sisters come. It just struck me how fortunate you were to find DH who already synced with your snowbird lifestyle. Ron also is a Sunday brunch guy. He grew up going out to breakfast after church and still really likes to do that.
My plans changed yesterday. I hibernated. I stayed in my joggers and played games, read, puttered and watched a documentary about the BTK Killer. However, I did make Ron a delicious dinner while he was at church. So maybe the tree didn't get up, but I still surprised him with a delicious home cooked meal. He was delighted.
Grooming this morning and will most likely do puppy tails this afternoon or evening.
I would kill for some sunshine! Or wind (or even rain... ) I'm just not a big fan of cold, gray gloom. Thank goodness I have things to do today or else it could be another lounging day! LOL!
December tomorrow! YIKES!
The stove top you are referring to is an induction and they are fabulous. I highly recommend!
119.4 - still
Last day of November! I can't believe that December will be here tomorrow.
All the company got home safely. Those departing from Orlando were about 1.5 hours late but that's not unusual out of that airport and those flying from our local airport were early. We were guestless by about 5:30.
All the laundry is done! Today beds need to be made and towels put away. Also, we need to go through the remaining snacks and drinks to determine what to retain and where to store them. The refrigerator needs some stuff to be tossed and I will make and freeze a turkey pie with the remnants from dinner either today or tomorrow.
This afternoon we are playing 9 holes of golf with friends then having dinner with them at the clubhouse. They have a new Sunday menu with pasta dishes made completely from scratch available as full or half portions. I love half portions!
One more day without guests tomorrow, then DH's 2 sisters arrive Tuesday for 9 days. However I just looked at the weather in Massachusetts and I wouldn't be surprised if they delay their arrival by a day due to the likelihood of snow on Tuesday. Luckily they are fairly self-sufficient so we don't have to entertain them all the time.
The bus leaves at 7:30 as usual on Sundays. I wouldn't mind skipping but it is a tradition for DH. After that we will have our usual Justice walk before we begin work on the house. Have a silent Sunday!

I guess your DH really wants to get his money's worth with that potato peeling machine LOL!
Christmas shopping is done because my list is relatively small. I don't exchange gifts with everyone and I just get token gifts for a lot of people (so give them the same item if possible - one choice for men and one for women). The token gift for women is a wearable blanket (they are all up north) and for men it is a man's manicure set and flashlight that can be extended. So in the end it is a really small number of personal gifts.

I am still in range - it's just that long held fear whenever my weight goes up that it will continue to do so.
Putting the tree up does sound like a nice surprise- I hope Ron was pleased!
And compression shirts for men are definitely a thing.

If I could just stay warm and cozy inside and look at the snow outside I would enjoy seeing it. It is having to ultimately venture out in the cold and snow that I am happy avoiding while in Florida. Parts of Massachusetts may get a fair amount of snow this week which is early in the season compared to recent years.
