Hi everyone! I have been up since 4 am ... my insomnia is kicking my butt! I am going to take a short nap and then get back to work on report cards ... sigh! The weather here has turned crummy so I'm glad I took my mum out yesterday. This is what I posted on Facebook today ... just because it was funny! My Hello Fresh delivery comes today so I'll cook something from that tonight ... I have no idea what I ordered so it will be a surprise! What are your plans today? What is on your menu? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

Good Morning! Back at work. I haven't been sleeping well either leannec. It makes for some long days. I'll sleep poorly for 3 or 4 nights in a row then I'll crash. Then start the process all over again. It snowed overnight. Just got an inch or two. No big deal. We are having sloppy joe's for dinner. DH went to the store for me yesterday since I kept telling him all last week I would go and just never made it. Have a great day everyone!

Meeting friends for dinner tonight. I liked a Man Called Otto - what did you think cadoodlebug ? It wasn't as good as the book, but the book had so many layers, it would be impossible to convey in a 2 hour movie. Enjoy the end of the weekend all!

Our dinner out last night was great. The menu was an interesting mix of traditional Japanese and Vietnamese dishes, as well as a few more modern takes on classic dishes. We each had a Japanese starter - gyoza and tempura, though the tempura was more a breadcrumb crust than a light batter - and we had one each Japanese and Vietnamese main. We'll definitely go back. When I said that to DH last night, he asked if there was anywhere we've tried since we came here that I wouldn't go back to, and really, there isn't one, though I have a few preferred options. For an outer suburb, it is really well served for decent restaurants.
Today has been cold again, but no fresh snow, so what we have is beginning to melt, though it will take a few days for it all to be gone. Walking was a bit easier, as people have been able to clear the footpaths - yesterday they were fighting a losing battle! Apart from my walk, we've been tochuurch and then I have been knitting again while DH went into the office to make sure he's set for the coming week.
Dinner tonight is beef roulades with mashed potatoes.

stormsts I'm so glad your DH stepped up and went to the store. Between your long work hours and your insomnia, I'm sure you really appreciated that. I'm going to get in the shower here in just a moment. And then I'm going to take stock of my crochet projects. Maybe I'll start something new. I'm thinking pink. Tonight I will make some cheese tortellini. I've got broccoli and asparagus that needs to be cooked too. I also have a small loaf of whole wheat French bread I'll toast too.

jeremysgirl he really helps out a lot this time of the year. I appreciate it so much. Has the grandbaby arrived? Have I missed the news? Nope. Still no baby. However when she went to the doctor on Friday she was dilated 3 cm. And then they swept her membranes. They said that should put her in labor within 48 hours. Well that hasn't happened. We are all so impatient.

Hi everyone. Long time no visit. Lots going on here keeping me busy and away from my phone which I don't mind one bit.
Dh is loving his new position with HR and is way less stressed. Teaching was taking a toll on him and our family. This new position is right up his alley.
Enjoyed the Chiefs win yesterday and was bummed NYG couldn't pull an upset over the Eagles. Dh and I are hoping for angood Buffalo game today. I teased Dh that maybe this time if our teams meet next week, Pat will only need 20 seconds to win. He had a pretty big eye roll lol
Tonight is what dd is calling Salsa Sunday - tacos and taco salads.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Dinner here will be multiple choice! I made corn chowder at ds’s request and am making beef stew. Most of the stew will be delivered to a friend tomorrow morning. Her dh has cancer and she’s not much of a cook so I thought it would be nice for them to have food cooked by someone else. They live very close to my job so it won’t take but an extra minute to drop it off on my way to work. I bought them a can of Pillsbury Grands to have with it and am hoping to bake cookies to bring as well. And dd doesn’t eat stew or chowder so she’s on her own for dinner!

I liked a Man Called Otto - what did you think cadoodlebug ? I agree, I liked the book more but, like you say, it's hard to fit all those layers into a movie. I really liked the ending better in the book as it had more impact. But we still really liked the movie. Although the sun is shining it was still in the 30's when we walked. My face is still thawing out. We'll have Chicken Tortilla Soup for dinner since the 49'ers game starts at 3:30. Praying the Bengals and my boys, Joe and Ja'Marr, can pull off a win against the Bills. Regardless of what happens they have had a great season. Still hunting for DH's Merci chocolates that I hid LAST Valentine's Day.

Last night I slept from 10pm until 9 am this morning. Clearly babysitting for the entire day wipes me out.
It’s been snowing here since 9 am and it’s accumulating quickly. I’m heading out for my walk soon and imagine that I’ll be soaked when I get home. It’s very pretty though.
There is a gold/silver buyer coming to our town next week. I’ve been digging around to find our old coins and old jewelry and DH has said that he will take them for a look see and maybe bring us back some cash!
Tomorrow it our ODS’s 31st birthday. Not sure how I got a 31 year old child but here I am!

It’s early in the morning here and I am sipping my coffee. Everything is great. I have no clue what we will do today but hopefully something fun. Dinner tonight could be something easy like last night.
I sure miss my dog. I am trying to get him to sleep on the bed with me but he’s not interested.
I hope everyone has a great day today!

It’s snowing here. Probably 3 or 4 inches so far. I went for a walk and halfway through my boots rubbed my skin off my heel. So annoyed with myself. Dinner is something out of the freezer. Probably veggie burritos because I have all that stuff for it. Happy Birthday freecharlie. Good luck dividing up stuff. I hope he’s not an ass to you.

freecharlie , are you OK today? Just remember that your ex has no power over you. You keep whatever you are legally allowed to keep. Don't let him dominate this process. This is about you for a change!!!!! Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and a wonderful year, ahead, filled w/joy, fierce indepenence and lots of positive healing. Yds flew back home early this am. So, I went back to bed and slept in for a change. Apart from picking up groceries I'm going to have a very lazy day. I will cook a nice dinner, but sil has to tell me what she wants. She will be coming back here soon. I'm having a flare today and need to calm it down so that I can be semi-alert. Looking fwd to just breathing in the calmer air. Delta Dawn , it sounds like you're on a vacation. If so, have fun and enjoy the local cuisine. Hope your nap was a good one, leannec .

Good morning! It’s cold and clear here today. I need to turn the heat on, I guess. Dinner last night was with Sarah*H, and it was great seeing her and her DD. I brought home half of my taco salad, and that was breakfast this AM. Dinner tonight might be a pot of chicken soup, but I have to admit, I’m sort of tempted by the thought of sloppy Joes. Also, I might have forgotten to say, I now have three large shelving units set up in my garage, and it’s looking better every day. When I finish filling and arranging the shelves, I’ll post a picture. Well, to be honest, I’ll send the picture to cadoodlebug so she can post it for me since I’m incompetent. jeremysgirl, happy baby wishes being sent for your DSD today. freecharlie, I hope the day is peaceful and easy for you. That’s asking a lot, I guess. Good luck.

We are having a lazy Sunday. We had an early reservation to celebrate one of our anniversaries but have decided to postpone til Wed or Thurs. Nick wrenched his back this morning and we are both worn out...we have been go go go since the holidays and I need some time to just chill out. We are watching some flurries and football.
I've ordered some groceries so I can be ready for the week without having to go out. I may bake the layers for the cake and freeze them. Dinner might be the chili cheese polish we didn't make last night (we had grilled cheese instead), rechaufee pizza, or a meatloaf from the deli if they aren't out. As long as the shopper brings me some diet coke I'll be happy!
Wishing for healthy mommy and baby on the way, ex-husbands who cooperate, and relaxing afternoons for the tribe. ♥️

I made beef stew and bread today. Ds had to work a half day and I needed 3 hours to make the stew so we didnt get to go visit step-fil in the hospital. We will go tomorrow right after work. I'll go get the flowers from the TN family and warm up some stew to take to him.
