Another headache today so I'm hiding in the basement away from the bright outdoor light. DM has started "White Christmas". Wishing others electricity, warmth, health, and holiday spirit to accomplish just what's necessary.

DH found the potato chip recipe and I added it with the others. I don't remember the butterscotch pieces, but have not made it in several years. You know this weight thing.

I am running late today. My OLD house is cold! We use to have a wood burning stove and the chimney is not safe now so no wood hear and it gets cold with just the gas stoves. I have on long johns, jeans and a sweat shirt, earlier I had on a hoodie too.

Debbie tell Jolene hi and hope she gets power soon. Are they at her parents? Seems I remember she said they had a generator.

I am still looking for the cookie recipe with the crushed potato chips. It may have been on the other computer that bit the dust.

Stay warn and have a good Sunday.

Happy Sunday Healthy Ones!

Well, I can relax and enjoy Christmas now- the Christmas program went so well! I ended up subbing for another singer (she didn't even feel well enough to come- her voice was worse today)but miraculously it turned out good- I had practiced yesterday with the soundtrack many times, and then had time to go over it this morning as well- it was a duet with her brother. My solo that had the dancing part was so much fun! I ended up being relaxed during it and really enjoyed it- was thinking I would be nervous but wasn't! Yeah! It was a fun song. :) Now, it's time to relax and concentrate on Christmas.

Debi, keep drinking that honey tea and I would maybe kick it up a notch with a hot toddy. lol :) Well...I would. :) Are you feeling better today? Hope so!

Debbie, We do have the tree decorated but...we aren't finished shopping yet either. Thanks so much for updating us on Jolene.

Jolene, hope you get power soon and I would say you will have a very White Christmas! :) We miss you! Stay warm. Sending Christmas hugs to you! :)

Off to relax and have a lazy Sunday. I think I will call Mom and chat awhile and then get an afternoon nap. :)

Have a relaxing Sunday!

Hello Everyone

Been really on a tight schedule trying to get everything done that needs doing. The tree is NOT up yet. But I have started my candy making, just not doing as much this year. Still don't have a present for our son or hubby's folks.

Thought I would update you on Jolene, they are STILL without power. She was really hoping they would have it by yesterday, but no such luck, plus they got at least 12" of snow with the last storm and are expecting that much more today with this new one. She said she guessed they would have a white Chirstmas.

Better run, I've got a lot to do.

Debbie

Dusta, yum, bet that cake is so yummy. Eeek on the teens- hope it doesn't get that cold here. We had some low 70s yesterday and it is cold again today-42 right now. Well, I shouldn't complain though, it isn't in the teens yet! :) Have fun baking!

OH MY (((Debi))), I was hoping you would not get that bug that has been going around. :( Yuck. Drink plenty of honey tea and take care of you. Just snuggle up and take your meds to keep you temp down and get well! Orders from headquarters! :)

There is something going around at church and a lot of people are getting hoarse- think it is sinus related beacuse of our cold then mild temps. :( One lady feels like she may not be able to sing tomorrow and I am practicing in case I need to fill in for her. She has a solo/duet with her brother. I hope she can sing because I feel like I can relax more and enjoy the program if I just have the regular choir singing and the one solo dance/song that I do- I feel comfortable doing it because I have been practicing it for weeks now. It puts a little more on my plate so hope she can do it tomorrow. I have the same voice range though so if I have to, I will.. I guess. :)

Waving to all weekenders! Stay warm!

Debi it is already getting cold here.

I added the applesauce cake to the cookie thread. I made it today and it smells so good.

Well, I did it - - - - - I managed to catch the 'crud' that is going around here.

Had 101 fever yesterday - but feeling better today - - - the doctor has me on Antibiotics again - - - - better eat that yogart?huh? :)

The weather is warm today - but suppose to be in the 20's tomorrow sometime - - - weird weather - extreme.

Wow - JEN - - - not even being able to get out the door - I wouldn't know how to act. My DH worked for UPS for many years - - - he was in management - so didn't have to drive the trucks, but Christmas was always a nightmare.

DUSTA - so glad you and Lulu made it back to TX. :)

I'm not getting all of the cookies made that I wanted to since I ended up getting 'icky' - - - but that probably isn't such a bad thing.
Thank You ALL for all of the really good recipe's I'm getting in the Christmas Cards. Will be trying them all. :)

MURIL - your picture is so cute! Thanks!

Well, I'm going to spray the keyboard down with Lysol and get away from the computer - - - -everyone have a great weekend.

I clicked on reply and it said I had to log in, haven't done that since forever.

I have not done anything!!!! Started to make the cake yesterday and didn't have eggs or sugar. Went to WM this morning for those 2 things and spent $100+ and I am to go back to get the things that it is too early to buy.

Suppose to get down in the teens tonight. OH BOY!

All have a nice weekend!

The week flew by! I went to school Monday and then came down with a migraine for the rest of the day and Tuesday. The student I was tutoring had finals this week so I was trying to explain math up thru Thursday night. Mom wanted to see the Christmas lights on the local trolley. We had snow, but by the time I got home it was to dark, windy & cold to shovel. DF broke the belt on our treadmill so I'm not sure what we will do. I still have school Monday & Tuesday this coming week. Planing on doing odds & ends and resting.

Wishing all a warm & safe weekend!

It's cold here! 11 inches of snow yesterday, that closed down most of Michigan. And an accident (I think) at a local factory caused the place I teach yoga and gymastics to be without power. We were supposed to have a Christmas pageant today, too! :sad face:

Off to warm up cold toes. (Sitting for an hour in negative weather freezes the toes!)

Good Saturday Morning!

Yes, I was so right, I was at Miss Nancy's all day...lol, but I expected it- especially as soon as I woke her up, she says, we have to shop for a gift....MY Lands, I thought we were finished. lol We managed to get everything done and I am not even sure how many times I went to the Lobby yesterday- it is wonderful exercise down several long hallways. And we managed to find time for lunch at Paneras. :) She is leaving this morning at 10ish to go to the country for C'mas and I am so enjoying my week off already. lol

WE have our dress rehearsal this morning at 10 and the program is tomorrow at 10.

Dusta, are you all tuckered out from the trip? Have you started the applesauce cake yet? :)

Ginny, Have fun gift wrapping and enjoy your weekend.

Dawn, Hope you are feeling better from your shoulder blade muscle injury. You did great with the teachers! Yeah.

Michele, glad Bopper is doing well! :)

Jen, enjoy your iced in weekend and take care of you. :)

Jet, wow, that is really long for a children's program. Bet they were getting a little antsy at the end. LOL

Off for a quick B'fast and then to the dress rehearsal. Have a lovely Saturday Everyone!

Good Afternoon! Things here are screwy! Its rainy and warmer, sunny and colder, then clear and ICY. and the hills to the east of town have a big layer of SNOW. I know I don't have a lot of room to complain, but really could I just get some weather stability here??????

Girls are going w/ their Dad tonight and I'll get them back on Christmas Eve. At least I'll be able to get all of the wrapping done! Not sure what CM has planned for this weekend - he did say that he'd like to reserve a bunch of my time!!!

Have to get back to work - I'll try to check in later!Ginny
