You are so right about the Celebration of life. I'm so happy Ben got to do his "last lecture" the month prior to him passing! What a wonderful time of meeting with those that mean the most to you!

Lol, we had blue carpet in the living room in our first home. It was very 80's styled with jewel colored walls (burgundy, forest green, blue) and the 1/2 bath even had sponge painting in those same colors which I quickly covered up with an off white!

Those retro colors are sure making a come back. I am amazed by how many homes are putting in blue wall to wall carpeting around here. YUCK!!!! But it seems to be the rage again. I will die if avocado green makes a comeback!
I often try to look at cir****tances such as someone being an hour late a gift of time. While it does irk me to be twiddling my thumbs waiting, I have so little down time in my life that I enjoy the gift of an empty 30 minutes or an hour.
145.1, same!
No crab legs last night, will try for tonight. Bitter cold again today. I need to go to the grocery store, but don't want to go outside! My heated throw did arrive yesterday! Love it, except it is an ugly color (70's rust).
No real plans today. Perhaps some cleaning or some book work. I've already been shopping online!
Liz, you should already be home in the nice FL weather! Good for you!

216.2 Slowly, slowly trending down....
Liz, if all went according to plan you are already home! I will leave for the airport in about 90 minutes. I had a stress dream about catching a flight to Paris. Everything went wrong, and yes I missed the flight. UGH... I'm guessing it's because I am not looking forward to this weekend, which makes sense.
Really good workout yesterday. I'm finding I get more done when I workout by myself, rather than with the trainer. Probably because I'm not carrying on a conversation with someone!
I have given some thought to Paula's question about cardio. It does have 3 main (IMO) benefits: heart/pulmonary health, weight management (albeit minor), and blood sugar management. Of course, there are other benefits listed, too. I think for me, it's the building of stamina and breathing that are attractive. I will see if I can't add at least one cardio session to my week for starters. It certainly won't hurt, but I do need a reason for cardio because it's boring as sh*t!
It is gray and chilly and spitting from the heavens. Looks like I will miss the atmospheric river that's coming through tomorrow. But I wouldn't mind having a lazy wet Saturday with nothing to do! Earlier this week I looked at my calendar and briefly got excited because there was nothing scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. LOL! It's because I'm not here!!!
Have to get cracking so I don't miss THIS flight.
Oh man, I would have been ticked too! I definitely would say something to the 27 year old, even if it was just, I sure wish I could have enjoyed that extra hour of sleep this morning!

I'm sure your friend was very embarrassed and it was the son who had no clue that it was rude to do that. I think people who haven't had to do much compromising often don't realize the implications when they change things last minute.

I have actually been pretty lucky with the dentist. I didn't have to have any major work done until I was well into my 40s and by that time things had really progressed. I remember my very first root canal as being nothing like I had feared. It was no worse than getting a filling, IMO.
