143.4, impressive drop for me! I skipped the 144's altogether! Hopefully it will stick!

DH working all day again. I think I will clean a bit and maybe go out in the cold to do some boot shopping. I have a few outfits that I fit in again that go well with over the knee boots and my boots were thrown out a few years ago as they were too well worn! I wasn't wearing fun little sweater dresses with knit tights then so I didn't replace them! Time to do so!

I'm sure DC will come over for dinner after work. And then will hang out the next two days on their day off. We did have the crab legs last night. They were only okay. Got them at Costco for a really good price (15.99/lb.) but they were not Alaskan crab legs and I could tell (not as meaty and sweet, plus I think they had been over cooked a bit in the pre cooking process, I simply warmed them up, with butter of course!)

Peps, nice extra room on that seat belt! Thankfully, I never did need to ask for an extender but it was close. We will be dining with some friends of DH's between Christmas and New Years. The wife had been super morbidly obese but has been on a weight loss journey and has lost a good chunk of weight. For the first time ever she was able to attend her granddaughter's Christmas concert because she could finally fit in the theater type of seat! Now that is a great NSV! I know she is seeing a nutritionist and think she might be on a GLP1 as well. I've never met either one yet but the husbands get together for a breakfast or lunch out once a month. I hope I can be an encouragement for her.

I bet some people will look at my mermaid/shell decorations and roll their eyes. Oh well...

LOL - my home had that same decor in the late 80's.

I think the northeast was jealous and wanted something that sounded impressive too...

Greetings all

It's rainy and cold here. We went to the new dentist yesterday. *^@%!*(^%$$^*@## she wants me to have quite a bit of dental work. Oh fudge. And I thought the other guy was trying to do unneeded stuff. The thing is, they took a lot of pictures and showed me the cracks and decayed spots. So I guess I had better suck it up and do it. DH was the one with a chipped tooth but she just smoothed that one off for him. So I have several appointments. I forgot to ask if they do nitrous oxide but might demand it. Or root around for old valium.

CC that is so rude of those people to be so late when you were doing them a big favor. Hope your friend told her kid he was rude. Sometimes I think people assume that single people have nothing to do so time changes don't matter. My own pet peeve is people showing up unannounced which DH's friend does once in awhile. It unleashes the dog cacophony plus I am usually not dressed. At least you got some costco rewards from it. Peps has a more healthy attitude about the gift of time but then again there is less time later on.

So I went to the studio and then to the gym today. It got really windy and the roads were wet. Yeah I had never heard of an atmospheric river until we moved to northern Ca. In the midwest it was a thunderstorm.

Blue carpet! Thats what we got rid of a couple of years ago for the dog friendly vinyl. Amazing how colors come and go. My first house was tan and burgundy and the second pink and grey. This one is eclectic - meaning whatever was here is still here. I did remove all the borders of wallpaper whi*****luded grotesque floral, plaid, and geese marching around the bathroom. No thanks. Funny DD that you had a geese kitchen. Makes more sense than a geese bathroom.

Liz hope your return trip was uneventful. But I bet you are glad you made the effort. Worth it.

DD and Paula stay warm. Looks like it's a bad winter start. Heated blanket Paula! Rust sounds like a "warm" color at least. And I am with Peps on the avocado color. And harvest gold. Who thought that up?

Leftover Thai food tonight. There have been some power outages around here. Hoping ours holds. I don't do well at camping..
