I'm so sorry to hear that your Dad's surgery was bumped Delta Dawn ... as a fellow Canadian, I can definitely see it happening but that doesn't make it any easier! Big big hugs to you tanya2! I hope you dh's stay in the hospital is short and he is able to return home with you!

I have done very little so far today ... big surprise I know! I picked up a few groceries ... went for ice and limes and spent $70! Then I tried to send a document online for more than an hour and never did figure it out ... so frustrating! I also made contact with my union representative ... we need to get our butts in gear now so that the school board realizes I am not returning to that ridiculous teaching assignment ... nope. My mum is coming over after bingo and staying for dinner ... we'll have something from Hello Fresh ... she gets to choose! Happy birthday hutchfan !

leannec I hope that you can get your shoes in the right size. I love being nosy and looking at open houses. The store didn't even carry my shoes in that pink colour so I just got a refund ... gave me money to spend elsewhere! Thanks for being a Nosy Nellie like me! I was just so curious! If the seller's get anywhere near their asking price, mine has increased in value almost $50,000 since I bought it in November!

I would love to be a guest during a recording of a Hell's Kitchen episode ... see the chef's struggle and Gordon Ramsay give people a hard time ... yup, I'm weird. If I was to go to a serious restaurant, I would want it to be a place called The Lost Kitchen in Freedom, Maine ... their story is amazing and the food looks soooooo good! It is almost impossible to get a reservation ... You can watch the series based on the restaurant and it's owner Erin French on Discovery +

I just got out of the shower ... washed my hair which is a chore that I hate. I need to go to my fav place today ... the mall! I bought some really cute pink ballerina flats online in my size but they are too big ... they let you take returns back to the store which makes me happy because mailing returns is a PITA! I hope they have a pair in my size! While I'm there I will hit Bath & BodyWorks and I'll grab a burrito for my lunch ... My girlfriend is coming over for dinner tonight ... we'll have something from Hello Fresh ... she can pick! I also want to show her the online listing for a condo that is for sale on my floor (main level) ... the realtor held an open house yesterday and I was feeling nosy so I went over and walked through ... UGLY! Mine is 100 times nicer! New carpet has just been installed ... why? ? The kitchen and bathrooms need to be remodeled and it needs new appliances and light fixtures big time! They want more than $35,000 more than I paid for mine. So happy I bought when I did! * A funny is that my Jeep is front and centre in the photo of the underground parking garage!

There were soooooo many more little things that I could mention, but I won't bore you with the details. But a whole lot of little things rolled up into a ball of discontent with the lunch. I would so be sending an email mentioning everything that you experienced! Businesses need to know that information ... I'm also a cranky old woman

Nick would like to have a yard sale and while I'd love the $, I have no patience for it and it all stresses me out. I have had garage sales over the years that were very successful ... sold a lot of Fisher Price toys and good quality baby and kids clothing ... cha ching!!! When we were renovating our house I said "No!" to another garage sale ... too much prep and just a waste of my time ... I sold a bunch of things on Facebook Marketplace and the rest went to Goodwill or the dump! Thought of you, leannec when we went to Denny's for dinner after the (winning) football game for Nick's grandson. I think we are going to make it a tradition for Friday nights! Denny's rocks! At least the one by my place does! They have a menu that suits everyone.

littlemama I hope you have a good trip. However we got married in Vegas, were there for 4 days, and that was enough for me. I don't care to ever go back. I was married in Las Vegas too! It was awesome! I have also never been back! Besides how many days/hours can one really spend doing nothing? (Don't ask Leanne 😂) Bwhahahahahaha!!!! Hey! I resemble that remark! Made hummingbird food. She comes when I’m sitting right by the feeder now. I want to get a handheld feeder and try it. A girlfriend of mine puts grape jelly in her hummingbird feeders ... they gobble it up! They absolutely LOVE it!

Hi everyone! I'm just getting ready to meet my mum, Emma and her boyfriend for breakfast at Denny's. Following that I need to buy toilet paper ... information you really needed to know! I'll just hang out for the remainder of the day and then my mum is coming over for dinner after bingo ... we are having veggie fajitas ... so yummy!! This is what I posted on Facebook today ... it is very true in my case ... normal is not a word I would use to describe myself! Have you managed to make any decisions about your trip to Las Vegas littlemama? How is your dh feeling today tanya2? What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

Can we park at any hotel or casino parking garage when we want to walk around? It doesnt look like the whole strip is walkable from end to end (due to distance), but Im not sure. You can park at any hotel but almost all charge for parking ... you cannot possibly walk the entire strip ... use the tram system that exists between some hotels and indoor walkways ... I haven't been to Las Vegas in a looooong time but I subscribe to some excellent Las Vegas YouTube people that I've learned a lot from! I watch most of them on Facebook videos ... Check out Travel Ruby Norma Geli Jacobs Life in Vegas ... he has a number of updates regarding the current situation ...

Currently stressing about our Las Vegas trip coming up in a week and a half. It is all so overwhelming. Because we are there for a softball tournament, we never know when we will have free time. We know the day we get there, we will have a few hours free. Other than that, it is day by day. We cant make plans or reservations for anything in advance. I dont want to spend all the money this is costing and not do something. You also want to take into consideration that Las Vegas is still dealing with that cyber attack on the MGM and Caesar's group ... things are not running normally even now ... I'm not sure what you are looking to do or where you want to stay but do some research today about this

leannec, I agree about grocery prices. It’s just DH and I and I went for a few things and came home with over $100 in 5 bags. I ended up spending almost $200 CAD today ... sigh! But I did buy brie and prosciutto, a bunch of colours of sweet peppers and the priciest thing: dishwasher tabs! I still need to go to Costco in the next week or so as well ... it never ends

Hi everyone! I'm about to hit the grocery store ... for someone who gets a box of Hello Fresh every week I shouldn't need to go there as often as I do ... but I NEED drinks, ice, snacks and fruit! Prices are insane ... I feel for people who feed an entire family ... ex's grocery bills must be nuts! Here is today's meme ... it is me! Keep scrolling! Sorry it is soooooo huge!!! I'm not sure what I will do with the rest of my day ... a friend asked me if I'm bored at home these days and I told him absolutely not! I love it! Dinner is undecided ... maybe Subway! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everybody!

- Nice gift or chunk of cash (their choice) - Go out to the restaurant of their choice - Bake a birthday cake ... my two adult dd's are weird ... the only kind of birthday cake they want is a Devil's Food boxed cake with canned chocolate frosting ... oh, and lot's of sprinkles!

leannec I'm guessing you can find whatever kind of cover you might want for your jeep. I was behind one the other day that said Let's Go Brandon...🙄 So apparently they aren't letting that go anytime soon. I've seen some cute ones on Amazon! I will check out the Jeep website as well ... I might choose one on Amazon that my dd's could buy me for Christmas ... that's an idea!

And what is this voodoo magic that is the Coffee Crisp bar? Seriously 😋 delicious. Coffee Crisp is so freaking yummy! Just one of those things that you have that you don't appreciate as a Canadian. They make mint Aero as well ... to die for! What a great thing for quiltz to do! I dropped my baby ... er ... Jeep ... off at the dealership at 8 am to have the running boards installed and get the detailing done that they didn't do when I bought it ... it's going to look so awesome! Now I want a nice cover for my spare tire on the back My girlfriend is coming over for dinner tonight ... we'll have something from Hello Fresh ... she can pick ... Then we will watch a couple of episodes of Selling the OC on Netflix.

All three of us ordered the same meal, which was chicken involtini - chicken tenders wrapped around camembert and prosciutto in a creamy white wine sauce, with tons of veggies. It was delicious, but way too much food compared to the smaller portions I have been eating lately. Regardless, I ate every last morsel on my plate. I never order chicken in a restaurant because I would rather have something more exciting like fish or seafood Your dish sounds amazing and I would definitely be tempted to try it despite the fact it is chicken!

You don't though if you don't want to and it doesn't bother you. I guess that's the thing ... I don't mind lending her money ... she does eventually pay me back but I don't expect it ... What bothers me more is when she assumes I will take her to appointments, the post office or for groceries she can't get on the delivery app she uses - I am very selfish with my time ... The fact that she has so much trouble managing her money concerns me in a big way ... she needs to figure something out ... getting a part time job would help but I don't know how long she would last I don't want to make it look like she isn't a great friend to me because she is ... I know that if I ever needed her for something (other than money or a ride!) she would be there for me.

leannec , your friend asks you for money, because she can. If you say "No. I don't have it right now" and keep saying that she'll stop asking. You have a dd in college and you have other expenses. Your finances are none of her business. NO! I don't like the way she uses you, so I'm questioning the friendship. Are you getting more out of it than you're putting into it? I guess I don't feel like I am putting more into the the friendship than she is ... we get along so well and enjoy being in each other's company ... I have trouble making very many female friends - for various reasons - and so having this friendship last as long as it has means a lot to me ... I know I need to stop giving her money ... that is true.

I'm happy to hear that your procedure went well scrapmaven! I don't have much planned for today other than a bit of laundry ... also waiting for an Amazon delivery of a new garbage can for my kitchen ... my current one is looking a bit grungy ... I lead a very glamorous life! My mum is coming over for dinner after bingo ... we will have something from Hello Fresh ... her choice! Another bit of drama this week with my girlfriend ... (I hope you guys don't mind me venting once in awhile about her) ... I hadn't heard from her in three days ... couldn't get an answer through text or phone call ... I was worried so I called her neighbour whose number I have ... she is a lady in her 80's who really watches out for my girlfriend too ... Sandy went over to check on her and found her to be fine but obviously loopy ... I have a feeling she is not taking her meds properly ... she is bipolar and has many ... regardless, she was fine and said she would contact me ... Nothing. Finally, at 9:30 pm I get a call from her landline (I don't know that number or I would have called it) ... she says she's fine but her cell phone was cut off from not paying the bill in full Ugh! She needs to work it out today ... do you want to bet she asks me for money? Anyway, I'm just glad she's alive!
