I'm just laying around here on a saturday night. Could have gone out for dinner, but then I'd have to get dressed. ha. Feeling lazy, so dh is going out to pick up burgers. We went out for mexican last night also. Spent my day doing laundry and picking up the house. It felt like a horribly long wk, so I'm happy to not do much this wkend. I didn't even go to town and get groceries. It was cold out this AM, only -10F below, but I was happy just to stay home. My dh worked as he's in his busy time of the yr for work.
How is everyone else?

Very quiet Saturday here.
I went to the gym this morning, then I've been home alone since then. Did a little cleaning and laundry.
I'm going through a rough time after a breakup, and I haven't been eating due to zero appetite. I did force myself to eat something today, hopefully that helps me feel better.

It’s been a quiet day here too. Not nearly as cold as you cindyupnorth, but cold enough. I think the high temp was 14° but the wind made it feel colder. DH went snowmobiling with a couple friends, DD and I stayed home. We ventured out to Target earlier for some stuff I probably should have bought earlier in the week but had no time then, so today was the day. I’m thinking we’ll throw something together for dinner pretty quick here, and then watch Encanto for the second time.

We just finished dinner - I made a penne pasta baked dish. Perfect for a cold night. We're sitting in front of a roaring fire now and will have some lemon pound cake for dessert in a bit.
All week long, they forecasted snow for us... which is a big deal. We rarely get any. Everyone was so excited. But since yesterday, it changed to basically just some ice for us. Dadgummit. Hopefully there won't be any power outage over night. Our state is typically hamstrung by any true winter weather. It's so rare for us, we (the 'in general we') just are never really prepared.

cindyupnorth your comment made me laugh ~ONLY~ - 10. Around here we are all complaining about how cold it is and it is in the 40s. Just got home from the spaghetti supper at church. My Dad was ready to come home so I had to left DH and DD there to clean up and will bring the other car home. The talk of the afternoon is if we are actually going to get snow. Forecasters are saying anywhere between 1 to 2 inches to 7 to 9 depending on who you are watching. Personally, I say we are going to get a snowpocalypse and it will be all DH's fault. Yesterday we are at our storage unit and I found our sled and wanted to bring it home and DH said there was no room to do that. I told him because he is tempting the wrath of the Whatever from high atop the thing we are going to get a bunch of snow. If we had brought it home with us we would barely have flurries.

We are awaiting our first snowfall. We typically don't get more than one a year. The forecast has changed from 8-12 inches to 5-8 which is more typical. The possibility of ice is more troubling. Duke Energy did a lot of work on the trees in the area this year so hopefully that will help. If the power holds, it will be a treat to watch the snow tomorrow.
DH stopped at Walmart for me today and said the shelves were nearly bare. Fortunately they had the few things we needed. All that stocking up I did in case we got the virus is helping.
I baked a chocolate cream pie today and finished cleaning up the studio/guest bedroom. We finally got a new mattress for that room yesterday to replace the set that was over 30 years old. The bed isn't used that much but my stepdaughter and her husband are planning to spend their spring break with us. We are planning to travel together but who knows how that will pan out so I figured I'd better get the room ready as a backup.
Now we are going to watch an episode of Living with Yourself on Netflix.

LOL, I think there are no less than ten Targets within 20-25 minutes of my house. There is literally one in every direction, everywhere I ever need to go. It was a good thing we went in because there were several things on my list that they didn’t have in stock so I had to punt.

Quiet night here - DS went back to his college apartment yesterday but came back earlier today (about 40 minutes away) to pick up a few things he forgot, LOL. He helped with getting all the Christmas stuff back up into the attic before he took off again, so that was nice! DH and I watched a movie last night, but not sure what we're doing tonight. We're awaiting our 2nd snowfall in two weeks. Forecasts are all over the place from 1-2 inches to 4, but most likely it will be a dusting of snow followed by the dreaded "wintry mix", which we tend to get a lot of (ugh). Hopefully nothing to cause power outages! I love how cindyupnorth just casually refers to the temperature as " only -10"! It's been in the mid-20s here all day and I'm freezing!

DH went to his friend house tonite. I did an online crop with a couple friends in different provinces. We finished around 6:30. I watched my PVR and ate ...I've been hungry today. I should go clean up my scraproom but not sure i want to. I feel like I should do something cause I have the energy. But not sure I want to.
Nothing's on tv either. No movies o want to see either. I'm bored.

I just came in from working in the yard, it was 64 here today! I have this patch near the sidewalk where NOTHING will grow so I'm clearing it and will do a cactus installation. I'm trying very hard to keep my mind off the news my mom gave me yesterday. They found a mass on her lung which is pressing on a nerve that affects her voice box and ability to swallow. She's in a great mood and not in pain so that helps but my mind still goes very dark. She's almost 80 and has smoked my whole life so I'm certain what the tests will say, prepare for the worst and hope for the best!
My dd and I will be going to Target here in a few to do our stock up run for the month and then a movie on Netflix with dh tonight. I'm hoping with all the activity today that I might actually get some sleep.

pretty chill around here - did some housework and finally got the *very* dead christmas tree out.
i ordered prints to frame from my trip to BC/Alberta in October. sorting online returns and submitting receipts from dental - all about getting my $$$ back today! it's been between -13 and -16 last couple of days which is cold for here (i think that's around 0F, but could be wrong cuz Fahrenheit makes no sense to me).
was going to go for a hike tomorrow - it is supposed to be milder with kids. but i went last week with my guy - and it was sooo icy, you couldn't look up or enjoy the forest because you had to watch every step you took. so decided to stay home and finish housework. everything closed so can't go to a restaurant, movies or the gym anyway (honestly, i was not going the gym, but even if i wanted to, i couldn't).
boring, but i will appreciate it - DD leaves for spain wednesday (god willing!) and boys will go back to their dad's so i want to enjoy quiet in my clean house.

I’m tucked in at home and watching the Patriots vs the Bills playing in frigid temps. The earlier game (Bengals vs Raiders) was a heart stopper - down to the last minute.
My big adventure tonight was walking the dog. I put on my snow pants and every bit of cold weather protection I own and gave him a good walk.
We had 10” of snow last week at the Jersey shore, and I’m hoping we just get rain tomorrow. I built snowmen with grandsons last week, and I’ve had enough for now.

watching the brilliant crimson sunset. sort of busy today.. two grocery runs. two dog walks, wash the mats.. very warm outside and sunny.
so resting before I make dinner.. lemongrass basil sauce over stirfried chicken/veggies. super easy. woken this morning by the tsunami warning. I don't know what we will watch on tv tonight. I like to watch saturday night live, my dh likes to listen to his friend's radio show (world music). he had surgery thursday on his leg, and today he got to have a real shower and put on a boot brace. he is supposed to do nothing and though he can do it.. he is not fond of it.

I spent a lot of the afternoon mucking out my craft room. It has become a dumping ground for everyone’s stuff the past few years, and the basement kitchenette is in there, so people are constantly going to the spare fridge and trailing food around. I’ve tossed two garbage bags and returned many things from whence they came.
So of course right now it looks worse than it did to start with.
Anyhow, I have poured a glass of wine and am eating salt and vinegar chips. Just trying to make Yellowjackets come faster!

Got the Christmas stuff away well my husband missed a couple items but they will be easy to do tomorrow. Been watching Netflix today - the Queens Gambit and Emily in Paris yesterday. I spent time in my office snd it’s better but most of what I did was stuff you couldn’t see. Hubby had to work today snd probably some tomorrow so not sure if we will get to watch the Eternals as planned.
Didn’t have a dinner plan but pulled out some pulled stuff pork. Tomorrow will be leftovers.
Not very exciting stuff here. Everyone doing their own thing.

I did a ton of laundry and went for a walk in the park. Usually I go with a partner, but since I have a covid kid at home, we'll be separate for a few more days. I wore a ton of layers (it was about 15F), and I actually got too warm!
I made cookies, which everyone appreciated (esp. DH and covid kid), but I ended up eating more of them than I planned! Oops.

It’s midday on Sunday here in Tokyo. Just driving back from Costco with DH. Nothing planned for the rest of the day, except walking the dogs in the park, tidying my sewing room and listening to my new audiobook. Weather here is cold but sunny.

School went remote yesterday (until Wed), and DH and DS tested for Covid and were negative! So, we suddenly had a wide open weekend, which almost never happens because we have kids in sports. We pulled out of everything thinking they would be sick. Turns out wasn’t much of anything, so, today we drove to the mountains and enjoyed some beautiful sunshine strolling around some of the local resorts. It was lovely!
Now we are also tuned into Pats and Bills (sorry if you are a Pats fan, yikes) in front of the fire. Ate a big lunch, so, no dinner or dishes. Ahhhh…such an unexpected day of leisure.

I’ve heard the same thing about people crying…granted, I’m only 6 or 7 episodes in, but I haven’t even been teary eyed once. I really like the topics/relationships they are addressing and I guess there are some emotional moments, but no tears yet!! It’s a unique format for a show that I haven’t seen before.

They are calling for snow here too. Went to the grocery store Friday and there were only like 10 onions! Just 10! And no beans except for some very funky flavors. So everyone in a 20 mile radius of us is making chili.

I got through the first season snd part of the second snd then just didn’t want to be upset. It’s a good show but I didn’t want to feel sad and wanted a happier show.
