Agree that 2 weeks in Maui sounds wonderful! 2 January weeks! And yes, what on earth? What fun is there in cutting an electrical cord? Geeze.

Brunch with my friends this morning, then a run around the kitchen shop next door. I bought a few more felt ornaments because they were so cute. Then I stopped at Walgreens for stocking candy.
Everything is wrapped and ready! I haven't been done this early in YEARS. Feels good! Now I just need to clean my house.
I haven't weighed in several days. Probably should!
The Wolf oven repair guy has ordered parts. I choked a little with the 4 figure repair price tag, but in his wise words, it's a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a new one.
Not much else to report... Hope everyone is well!
Maui! Now that is something to really look forward to!

142.6, another loss!
Another grey Wisconsin winter day. DH is sleeping before he needs to start working 12 hour nights again starting tonight. I sure hope the can get to a straight day shift soon. It was supposed to start in January but is now slotted for February. At least 2 weeks of January will be spent in Maui.
Nothing on the docket for today. I think we will even have leftovers for dinner. DH ran around with errands this morning. He went to pay the property taxes in person and commented on how all the grey hairs were out! Lol, he is mostly all grey himself!
It looks like someone cut the electrical cord to one of our new lighted outside Christmas trees. DH repaired it, but what is wrong with people?

119 - though I felt like I ate a lot yesterday. Eating how I feel seems to be working these days. The wonders of GLP-1 medications!
8 days to Christmas and 1 day until we fly north.
It is so disturbing that not only do mass shootings occur with more frequency but that the public seems to be getting immune to the horror. In the news for one or two days, then gone. Remember the first school shootings and how shocked we all were? Seems like protecting people's rights to have guns is more important than protecting our children. Did our forefathers mean that anyone should be able to have an automatic weapon? I somehow don't think that was the intent (nor could they have foreseen this). Here in Florida it is noticeable that most schools have high iron gates around them and metal detectors at the doors. So guns are easy to get here but they think that is a deterrent to them being used in such destructive ways? Off my soap opera but I get very upset every time I read about these occurrences.
Yesterday we got some pre-trip cleanup done. Today we are both signing papers at our lawyer's offices and need to pick up the rental car to go to the airport tomorrow (we fly out of Orlando not nearby this time). We are hosting a ****tail party in late afternoon with our neighbors just below us and the couple we are friendly with who used to live in our condo. We have been trying to get together so this seemed like a good time before the holidays.
Time to get out with the dog so I can get back by 9 to get cleaned up. Have a tuneful Tuesday!

I am also not coordinated at all! It is nice to have a game outside that we can play together (in addition to bocce). Play nine holes, then a meal after. What could be better?

I do love a tuna noodle casserole. Shouldn't taste good, but it does!
I should screw up my courage and make a dental appointment too. Long overdue for a cleaning. My dentist is close to retiring, so very hard to see him. He has hired great people for his practice, but new dentists still scare me, even if I know they're good. DH has moved onto a new dentist in the practice, and he assures me ill be fine.
The school shooting saddens me deeply. Way too close to home but awful no matter where it occurs! Why isn?t preventing this a priority? So sad!!
I?m happy to share some of my favorite recipes if you would like! Tonight we are having roasted Brussels sprouts and salmon bites. (wash Brussels, cut in half, I seasoned with Tuscan seasoning and olive oil, cook on sheet pan at 400 for about 16 minutes. For the salmon, I cut up in bite sized pieces, marinated in teriyaki (I like Kikkomans) overnight. Drained the liquid and tossed with some sesame oil. Add to same sheet pan the last 8 or so minutes. Easy peasy! I?ll put pics on TT (much easier then adding pics here).
