Hi everyone! I am stuck at home for the beginning of the day waiting for the Geek Squad from Best Buy to get here with my NEW TV!!!! Yay!!! My current TV is showing everything in a blue tinge and has been for years ... baaaaad! I didn't want to replace it until I moved ... I got a bunch of other deliveries this week related to decorating my condo ... the place is almost finished ... all that is left is the kitchen chairs and standing mirror for my bedroom which won't be delivered until APRIL! Anyway, here are a few photos of what I got this week: Dark blue cabinet (from Costco) and a canvas fake Monet for my bedroom Other canvas fake Monet for above my bed Canvas art for my second bathroom Chunky throw for my new sofa! Dinner tonight will be with my girlfriend ... takeout Italian! Positive thoughts going out to those who are feeling yucky! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everybody!

Everything looks wonderful leannec ! We've had torrential rain and unbelievable wind all night. Thank goodness we got the roof repaired on our rental down the hill. We're going to a holiday party tonight and there is 100% chance of rain. Ugh. SoCal Peas, how is your weather? We'll have a small bowl of soup before we go because the hostess always has so much food. I'm taking my pralines to share. Hugs to all our tribe who are under-the-weather.

Hi Dinner Tribe. We had a party last night and everyone went all out with the food. It was great. I wore my mask unless I was eating.
It’s bright and sunny outside. I plan to take the dog for a long walk like yesterday which should be nice.
Dinner tonight is a mystery still.

Beautiful day!
Going to a Christmas gathering tonight. There will be a LOT of food.
I managed Shopper's Drug Mart (redemption points day), Superstore, Canadian Tire and Best Buy within 3 hours. Started at 8:00am and finished just after 10 am. Was first in line at Best Buy to do a return.

we had a lovely dinner out last night.. and discussed the weather forecast that was for a clear morning before the big storm.. I had heard it would be all day. so we woke this morning to 2 inches of new and snowing steadily. I will see if dh makes it to the store.. he probably will. we are having condo neighbors over for drinks (know them very little) so that will be nice.
burgers for dinner. leftovers for lunch. up to 20 inches of snow by sunday night. we had a broken gutter pipe near us that they repaired yesterday.. that was good and they will come soon to repair the gutter leaks that leave a big pile of ice on our porch.
hugs for all those deal with stuff or sick or just in a bad place.

I’m feeling much better today but I won’t retest for another day or so. It’s so nice to be less congested and able to breathe out my nose. The loss of taste is terrible though. Everything I eat is tasteless - perhaps a good weight loss program.
DH is staying away from me. We aren’t sure if he had Covid or not. He tested negative twice but his symptoms were identical to mine. So he’s spending lots of time in the garage - his man cave.

So my Brunch Gals left a bit ago, lots of good food and conversation. So good to see everyone socially. The dishwasher is loaded and running, and everything is cleaned up and put away.
It was cold this morning for my walk with Miss Grace....I wore a hat, however needed my scarf too😳 We are supposed to get snow...not sure how much, as I stopped listening when the s word was mentioned.
Dinner is yet to be decided.....
leannec, your condo looks great!!!

Well, I'm not getting anything on my list done so far today as I'm sucked into watching Spanish language coverage of the England-France World Cup game. Only a few minutes left unless England can score another GGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL (if you are watching on Peacock, that will make sense) and tie the game. If they do manage to get into OT, I'm really not getting anything done today. We are heading to a martini party tonight where I know there will be tons of good food, too, so everyone is on their own to feed themselves between now and then.

The 13yo spent the night here last night so I’m happy about that. Now he’s here with one of the stepbrothers and we’re watching Harry Potter #6. Windy and raining outside (same stuff cadoodlebug has, only hers is probably worse). Dinner is up in the air. I still have some ground beef to cook, but it’s vacuum-packed so no big rush. Oh, I’m definitely feeling better today. leannec, your condo looks wonderful. Moving gives you such a nice, fresh start. taylortroop, I lost my sense of taste for awhile when I was in chemo many years ago. It was miserable. I did find that sweet, creamy things like ice cream, tapioca, and yogurt were pretty palatable.

Windy and raining outside (same stuff cadoodlebug has, only hers is probably worse). I can't imagine what it's like up at Tahoe. There are random things in the our backyard that I don't think belong to us. DH had to run down to the rental because the carpet guy was there to reinstall the carpet where we had the roof lead. When he gets home, I'll have him identify the backyard stuff and hope it's not part of our roof.

Good Sunday morning. Yesterday was rather busy here. I started with swimming lessons with Sophia, then we went to the park and dropped in on my sister. After lunch I drove out to the airport to pick up DS2, then we went shopping for today, helped with hall set up and ended up at DS1’s house for dinner. We had pizza!
Today is Lucia’s baptism, so DS2 and I will be headed out soon for final shopping for fresh food, then to the hall to drop off, then Mass and lunch with family.

leannec looks beautiful! cadoodlebug that picture could happen at my house. We will probably not get a tree this year as the little wonder still eats everything. scrapmaven thinking of you! It's pouring rain today which is so good for us, though bad for the little wonder. I'm making chili and packing up fall and working on Christmas. Finally feeling better!

About got my Christmas shopping finished today. A few more little things for the adults then I am calling it good. Town was a zoo today. Four of the grandkids are spending the night. We just finished making cards for their teachers. leannec your place is looking really cozy. Enjoy your parties @caddodlebug and quiltz. A martini party sounds like a lot of fun bc2ca. Dinner is pork chops and asparagus. Probably have to throw some peas in as well as the youngest grandson has just dug them out of the freezer.

I finally have a chance to post. It's been a very busy at-home day. Dinner will be chicken pot pies from an amazing bakery that our cousin brought for us when he visited yesterday. I have a goal. Monday am I want to get out in the earlyish am and finish my Christmas stocking shopping and I need to pick up gift cards. The best laid plans. cadoodlebug, I hope that the stuff in your yard isn't anything important and that all is well. taylortroop, I wish wish your taste buds to come to life, quickly. How frustrating. sueg, Happy Baptism day to your sweet Lucia. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, my lovely tribe.

Everything looks wonderful leannec ! leannec, your condo looks great!!! leannec, your condo looks wonderful. Moving gives you such a nice, fresh start. leannec your place is looking really cozy. Thanks so much everyone! It is really feeling like "home"! I never thought I would say that because I was in my house for so long but the difference is that this place is MINE and I'm decorating it with MY STUFF! This selfish only child loves having a place that is "all about me!"

I love your new place leannec , you've decorated it beautifully and made it warm and cozy. it's all YOURS! Thanks! It really is a place that I love! (OK, I don't love the OCD person above me who vacuums their hardwood flooring at least twice a day ... banging into the walls! Once it was at 9:30 pm. ). I am loving not having to pay someone to shovel my driveway!

leannec , I did not want to like your post. The offending vaccumer needs to exit the building. Try living with a teenage girl above you that SCREAMS at her mom at 2 am, waking me up. She also likes to throw balls and move furniture (I think) at all odd hours. They have hardwood floors, not carpet. Also, the teenager is now a new mom = the mom yells at her kid for not looking after her kid. This is not an inexpensive place and the monthly fees are $$$. One of the very few renters in this building.
