CC is killing me with the flip flops! I want to wear flip flops! Well to be more specific, Tevas, because flip flops don't give me enough arch support.

Liz, let us know how DH's stress test goes. Hope the weather is not too bitter as you head to Massachusetts.

Diane, good you don't have any apparent damage. I sometimes muse about which is scarier, tornados or earthquakes. With tornados, you generally have some warning, but not always. You can take shelter, but again, not always... Earthquakes come out of nowhere, and literally rock your world... I would prefer neither.

Where is Ann off to?

Tonight we have our Pub Night tickets. Just the husband friend is meeting us tonight, as wife friend is out of town for work. Some music will be lovely.

One of my work besties who is using Wegovy has a lump on her neck. She had an ultrasound, and now they want to do a biopsy. I'm worried. Her biopsy is tomorrow morning. I hope she gets the results quickly.

It's so cold today, BUT a warm up arrives soon, and next week it seems might be warmer than average temps. Fine with me, I don't care if it snows or if the lakes freeze enough for ice fishing. But I keep these thoughts to myself, as many Minnesotans have passionate opinions on these subjects.

I used to like those baloney sandwiches (still do but don't buy the stuff).

I was in Napa when they had an earthquake in 2014. Very scary and weird.

I had a nice lunch with my friend and heard all about her round the world trip. It sounds amazing and she met some seriously interesting people who were fellow passengers. Good stories!

Diane and Lizanne, so glad the earthquake wasn't worse! I don't miss those at all.

Still unusually warm for this time of year. I'm wearing flip flops for as long as I can. Kirby and I are sitting outside enjoying the sun and warmth. I have things I should be doing and no interest in doing them! There are 10 house finches vying for space at my bird feeder. Oops, aerial fight has broken out...

Not much else going on here. I should go vacuum and be productive for a little bit!

Nope not going to studio even though warning is cancelled. Lots of people headed inland and the roads got jammed. But we are in a safe zone. ds

Greetings!

Whoooooo I got the hippy hippy shakes! We just had a 7.0 earthquake and there is a tsunami warning. We are totally fine but the house did some serious wiggling. The ceiling fan was swinging and everything jiggling. We are not in the tsunami zone but the studio is and everyone has cleared out of there. No damage reports but I bet some of the little towns to the south have some. I had planned to go to the studio this afternoon but maybe will skip. The place is close to the bay and only about 10 feet above sea level.

So thats the excitement here. Sounds like Paula and DD are experiencing worse acts of Mother Nature with winter storms and snow. Snow is great until you have to go somewhere then it isn't. Stay warm friends. DD your thoughts on your DD's birth and related events are so touching. Amazing how life is knitted together.

White guy tacos! Thanks the only kind I knew as a kid. Then there are white girl tacos which are baloney sandwiches on white bread. Luckily there are good tacos here. Now I want some. But I bet the taco trucks were impacted by the shake.

Not much else - like that is not enough. I will check in later when I read more and know more.

Diane S

145.9! 145 is a normal BMI! I?m getting so close! Yay! Took my 1/2 dose shot today.

Last night?s Bible study was done via Google Meets, much like we did during Covid. Roads were cleared enough to go to Woman?s Bible study this morning. DH already made the Costco run, so not sure I need to go out in the frigid temps again today. Feels like temps are -8 to 15 with windchill! Have I ever mentioned that I hate Wisconsin winters? Thank God the summers here are just about perfect!

Need to do some on-line shopping for outdoor Christmas decorations. Our deer family has seen better days. Mama deer?s lights don?t work anymore and all 3 of the deer?s bows are faded and looking ratty. I?m thinking of maybe getting a nativity set to replace the deer. And maybe those white lighted trees! We have lighted garland and wreathes and small lighted trees that adorn our front porch.

DH just came upstairs and wants to go out for sushi lunch. Guess I will be going out in the frigid weather!
