Hi everyone! Today I plan to do some laundry, go to the grocery store and Starbucks and then get ready to go out tonight to see Cirque du Soleil with my girlfriend! I have seen every show they have ever shown in Calgary (many) ... this time it is KOOZA ... I've seen it before but have no memory of when or what goes on ... yes, I'm old! Have you ever been to a Cirque show? We plan to hit somewhere to eat after the show for a very late dinner ... somewhere near home ... TBD! Thanks everyone for the positive thoughts regarding me getting my mum into a retirement residence ... it means a lot ... it's a stressful thing but she and I will work it out! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... it is Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend ... we are celebrating tomorrow ... after that it is time to start thinking about Christmas. When do you return home scrapmaven? Thinking of you tanya2! What are your plans today? What is on your menu? Have a wonderful Saturday everybody!

Hi leannec! I have been to a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas. It was great! Hope you enjoy it. Keeping my fingers crossed for your mom. It is cold here this morning. It was 45 degrees when I got up! I’m not a cold weather person. I am so not ready for this like most of you seem to be. Heading to a soccer game in a little bit. Then going to hit up Target and the grocery store. Should make it home just in time to watch the Purdue game. Boiler Up! I found out my parents will arrive Tuesday. They don’t know how long they will be staying. DH wants grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner. Hoping everyone has a great day!

I'm stealing your meme leannec! I love it. I broke down this morning and closed the windows and turned on the heat. Jeremy was like, are you finally cold? It was 45 degrees in the house this morning. I sheepishly told him it's damn menopause has my internal thermostat broken. I'm just getting myself together. I was supposed to spend the day at the pumpkin patch with my best friend. They were having food trucks and live music and alcoholic ciders, donuts, etc. And of course, she cancelled on me. She does that aaaaaa looooot. So I'm going to my friend Wendy's because her cousin just started selling Mary Kay and she wanted a practice party to start. It's kind of funny because I don't wear make up. Haha...but I'm sure I'll come out looking like a hooker. Jeremy will be working on his mom's house while I'm at Wendy's. His mom lives around the corner from her. Then it will be home to work on my blanket. I'm trying to talk Jeremy into a scary movie tonight. We will eat baked ziti for dinner.

Haha...but I'm sure I'll come out looking like a hooker. OMG! So funny! I can't believe Mary Kay is still around! I can't see the younger generation being their customers ... my dd's are Sephora shoppers ... and you never see any Mary Kay pink Cadillacs anymore so no one is making the big bucks! I still do wear makeup but it is a chore ... I buy my same basics from Sephora online ... three items plus various lipsticks from time to time ... easy peasy!

I am going out with my mom so she can look for shoes for a wedding next week. I'm still undecided if I'm going or not.
For dinner we are having baked chicken with a sweet potato.

Oh you are close to your mom down there? How nice. I knew you said you had family in Texas but to be close to your mom is always nice especially as she ages.

Today has been a quiet day. DS has pretty much packed his bags ready to go home on Monday, as he will be out most of tomorrow and Monday. I went for a walk and DH did the weekly grocery shopping and went to work to clear his office in preparation for a full scale move next month. Tonight's dinner has been simmering away on the stove all day. it is Spanish lentils and the long, slow cook helps all the flavours meld. leannec - I have never been to a Cirque show, but I would love to. I just need to convince DH. One issue we have with seeing shows like this is DH's work travel schedule, which makes booking as far out as is usually necessary is hard. I am also surprised Mary Kay is still around. I know they pulled out of Australia a few years back. Tomorrow DH and DS are going to the football (soccer). DH managed to score tickets with access to the sponsors' lounge, through a work colleague whose wife works for Bayern Munich. DS is VERY excited to attend a game, and has bought himself a new tricot to wear. As they are busy all afternoon, I have arranged with a friend to go to a local wool market. I've never been to this one before, but it is not far from where we live now. I have spent time today making a list of patterns I want to make and how much yarn they need, so I can buy appropriately.

tanya2 , thinking of you and your family today. leannec , we've never been to a Cirque show. jeremysgirl , I went to a Merle Norman store once for a makeover and I truly looked like a little girl who had gotten into her mom's makeup. I've seen a pink Mary Kay Cadillac up here once. I think their skin care line is good although I no longer use their mask. We're getting ready to watch the LSU vs Missouri game. It's anyone's guess as to who will win. We don't do well in morning games and it's an away game. DS texted me last night at 10:30 from the wedding reception (it's in Redmond, WA) that it was a blast and still going strong. Tonight from 6 - 10 there is a party at a pub that includes mini golf. Today he and his friends are going sightseeing including the Space Needle. Dinner will be Chinese Chicken Salad. In case you can't read the bottom line, it says: Hold on Dave, it says here it's a retinal scanner.

Thanksgiving dinner here at my house today. Come on over, there will be lots of food. DH cleaned the turkey and it’s in the oven, stuffing is in the crockpot, turnip peeled, potatoes peeled, coleslaw made. Mom is bringing rolls and cranberry sauce. SIL is bringing sweet potatoes.
DIL called this morning because DS had just told her that my other son isn’t coming for supper either. She wanted to check in and make sure I was okay and not sad. She wanted me to change the day but it was way too late for that. I’ve put myself in the head space that if my kids can come, that’s great and if they are working or going to other family’s, that’s okay too. I assured her that I’m good. All the more turkey for us!

I bought these tickets LAST November! Time for a trip to Las Vegas! You can see some amazing Cirque shows there!

tanya2 Thinking of you today (((HUGS)))
Dinner tonight will be mac and cheese and hot dogs....because I feel like a hot dog...and mac and cheese as I now have a plethora of cheese, since a bought a large piece of cheddar at Costco the other day, it was going to Guatemala with me😢 Anyway i need to use up some cheese, so I will.
DH is a fan of Cirque, so we have been to a few shows....last one was at Disney a few years back.

Take out for dinner at my house tonight. I may get lasagna or eggplant parm.
We saw Zumanity in Vegas in 2012. We loved it.

I’ve been to a couple Cirque shows, they’re always great!
Today has been lounging around so far. I think my son is coming over soon, we might grab lunch, and go tv shopping. We need a new one in the living room.
Dinner tonight will likely be pizza, a great local place nearby is calling my name.
I can take the bandages off my ear this afternoon, but might wait until tomorrow. I need to get to the store and get better bandages for daily changing. It’s not bother me too much, so I think it can wait another day.
It’s much cooler here today, in the 50s. Weird that a week ago it was 90. Fall has finally arrived.

I thought ds said they were going to a place for a friend's birthday dinner, meaning dh and I would just figure out dinner later. This morning, I learned that he did not say dinner and was, in fact, going to be home for dinner. 😂😂 So, we are still winging it, but there are 3 of us to "wing".
Does anyone have the original funeral sandwich recipe? I thought it was on the recipe board, but I couldnt find it.

I think this one is it. The one I have on my Pinterest now links to nothing and I know that one was pretty accurate. The big difference I see in several recipes is yellow mustard vs dijon.

jeremysgirl we need to see a picture after your makeover. I would love to have a makeover but I’m afraid I would come out looking the same way. kelly8875 it’s the same here. I just got back from a soccer game and it was 54 and windy. Last weekend I sat thru a game and it was 85. It’s beautiful out but I’m not ready. taylortroop Happy Thanksgiving! So we went to Target after the game to get toilet paper and dishwashing soap. I spent $174! I decided I needed a few groceries then I thought I better get the grandkids some Halloween things before everything is sold out. DH was waiting for me in the Jeep. He tried texting me when I had been in there forever but I didn’t hear my phone so he came in looking for me. I told him I just got on a roll and forgot he was with me.

Hi well Dad took a walk today so that was great. The kids are going to see him later. I am making turkey soup. My kitchen smells divine. I bought a new dress yesterday and am wearing it today. I got it at Pharmasave. Don’t laugh. All the drug stores near me have clothes or Guerlain makeup or electronics or kitchen wear and I can go on and on. They are called boutique drugstores. I get my clothes at this one in particular.
Things are good here and my whoodle is asleep at my feet. He is truly the cuddliest whoodle I have ever met.

I knew you said you had family in Texas but to be close to your mom is always nice especially as she ages. jeremysgirl being around her, my sons and my brother and sisters were my main reason to come back here. We all live between 10 - 15 minutes away from each other. She's older and it's been great being able to spend time with her.

Hey finally on my way back home. I actually had fun. It was just Wendy and me and then her cousin, the Mary Kay lady. I actually ended up buying a night serum, primer, cc cream, and lipstick! I know, who am I? I did not end up looking like a hooker!

I've been to a few Cirque shows. They're so much fun. I also saw Love in Vegas. It's very deep, not funny like so many Cirque shows. It was great. I'll probably go home on Thursday. It'll depend upon my progress over the weekend. So far so good. My thoughts are with you and your family today, tanya2. Enjoy your feast taylortroop. jeremysgirl you look so pretty.

tanya2 I am so very sorry about the loss of your husband. I have only been popping in to the dinner threads now and then, and sometimes if I'm on the way to work I just quickly post without reading the other posts, so I missed your posts about your husband's passing.

I’m at an all-day crop (yeah, my exciting social life) and eating tortilla chips with cream cheese and salsa spread for lunch. Plus grapes. Because I was too dumb to bring lunch and too lazy to go out for it. I told them next time I’d bring a crockpot full of something to share. Dinner will be ?? ?? tanya2, holding you in my thoughts today. Delta Dawn, glad your dad is recovering well.

tanya2 Thinking of you today! We went out to look at another plot of land today, then went to Costco for a few other things (though I was very proud of myself: $44 at Aldi, and $23 at the other store I go to yesterday for dinner for today and next week); we also got our next 'rona booster and flu shots, and went to a few stores after just to kill some time. We had steak and sweet potatoes for dinner, and have been keeping hydrated throughout the day to ward off any ill effects from the shots. I think DH is going to go to bed early regardless because he didn't sleep well last night. Happy weekend, all!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian Peas! tanya2 thinking of you and your family today! ((hugs)) jeremysgirl Mary Kay is no joke. I remember heavy makeup. I do wear light makeup but no foundation, more concealers to even out skin, cover dark circles (thanks insomnia!), and some light eye makeup... Just saw your follow up post. Looks good! That is my idea of nicely done!! More natural. taylortroop what a sweet DIL. Maybe you can make turkey tetrazzini with the leftover and have them over. lucyg how fun to have crops to go to. I do miss all the local scrapbook stores for the bay area. Got my flu shot today and just been doing odds and ends since then. It's too hot outside and the mosquitoes are merciless. Apparently now the West Nile Virus is in the area where I like to go. Tonight we may take out Vietnamese food.
