Good morning. This morning we celebrate the birthday of our very sweet pea, tmarschall. She is always so kind and supportive and I love the photos she posts of her delicious baked goods. May this year be a year filled w/joyous adventures w/Nick and much laughter. Happy Birthday!
Today will be a quiet, at-home day. I really need to get started on my closet project. I will spend some quality time at my video game. Dh and I are like little kids. We take breaks and go play video games. In fact, we need to start the game that I bought him for retirement for us to play together.
Dinner will be panko pork, tater tots and veggie for dh.
What's on your menu?
What is everyone up to today?
Wishing everyone a great day ahead!

Happy Tuesday!
Another slow day at work and I've got to run out at lunch to pick up my wine and grocery orders. This afternoon, I think I might start cleaning my guest room. My BFF is coming down over Memorial Day weekend and I need to have room for her.
Dinner tonight will be pork something as I took out some chops this weekend. My parents may come over and eat or it will just be me.
Hope you all have a great day!

ntsf, would you be willing to share which car he wants to buy? We keep our cars a long time. It's a big deal when we buy a new car. Have fun in the pool. Tearisci, you must be looking so fwd to your best friend's visit. Enjoy dinner tonight w/your folks.

Happy birthday tmarschall! I’ve vacuumed the house and washed the muddy hardwood floors. It won’t last long but it looks nice right now! Tonight is my monthly alphabet supper with former coworkers. It’s “Q” night so we are going to Quesada Burrito. I’m off for my anti anxiety walk and I’ll walk the dog this afternoon. |

I woke up this morning to a string of messages on out after school care WhatsApp chat. One of the 5-day a week carers is sick and out for the week and was trying to find replacements. I couldn’t go in today, due to a doctor appointment and I was already signed up for Friday to cover someone else, so I volunteered for Thursday. When I got to my doctor’s office just before 3, they said I had an appointment had been at 2, which I am sure it wasn’t as I had found the slip of paper they gave me when I made the appointment. Anyway, she was able to fit me in and all is good. I just need to do blood sugar tests a bit more often for the next few weeks as she has changed up one of my medications. Dinner tonight is going to be a vegetable curry, to use up all the sad vegetables in my fridge and pantry. tmarschall - Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day. |

Have fun at your dinner tonight, taylortroop. I've always loved the idea of the alphabet dinner each month. sueg, when is your follow up for your mouth? Enjoy a nice evening. |

I have a bit of a cold and had a bit of a trying day at work yesterday so I'm home today ... The student's yesterday were grade 8 and were really rude ... similar to what I used to deal with daily ... made the day long! Won't be subbing for that teacher again!  My cleaning lady is here and we have all the windows open so it's a little chilly in here ... not complaining though because at least I'm not cleaning!  I plan to do little to nothing today ... play on the laptop and phone and watch TV ... I don't have a job for tomorrow yet but I probably will later ... Dinner might be poached eggs and toast ... Happy happy birthday tmarschall!  |

sueg, when is your follow up for your mouth? Enjoy a nice evening. CT scan is at the end of the month. Then 2 business days later, I return to the clinic for follow up and decision on treatment options. |

tmarschall  Not sure for dinner. SO is supposed to be starting to rip down the bathroom as it is a rain day for him at work. He is not answering his texts so I am assuming he is IN IT. And I just received notification our shower is ready for pick up so that is good...over a month late. Unfortunately, I will not be able to help with anything this weekend since I will be leaving on Saturday to go to my home town for the COL. Just fingers crossed this remodel will go well!

tmarschall Happy Birthday!!! Hope your day is as fabulous as you are! Pretty quiet day here. It is raining. I didn't bring my gym clothes with me so not sure I will get my walk in today. I have a dinner meeting tonight so DH is on his own for dinner.

Happy birthday to our very own baker tmarschall!! As soon as I get showered, I’ll be off to the Lake Tahoe area for the rest of the week. May or may not check in. Don’t have too much fun without me. No idea what’s for dinner, but I expect it will be casino food.  |

Wishing tmarschall the happiest of birthdays!!     leannec how are you liking subbing as a whole? Are 7th and 8th graders the worst? lucyg Have fun on your trip!! Go bring home the bacon!!!  I checked my credit card account this morning and my (probably scammed) PayPal purchase has not posted. So I guess, so far so good. Dinner tonight is shepards pie, I was going to make it yesterday but didn't feel like it!!  The Mister is so easy going, he doesn't care what's for dinner just as long as there is something for dinner!!! I could serve him cheese, crackers, and fruit and he would be fine with it. |

Happy Birthday tmarschall...Hope your day is AMAZING!!!
I went to exercise class this morning, and did a bit of gardening as in watering the herbs that are in raised beds.
I'll be glad when the house is done...as all the patio furniture and DH's various "things" are in the middle of the yard, so I really cannot do my planters ...or anything else for that matter. The grass will be knee high soon.
We are having the house painted, and the painter I hired has been scraping and sanding for a week and a half now😱😱😱. Hopefully he will be good to start painting by the end of the week. I'm really excited to see the finished product!!!
Dinner will be grilled chicken thighs, corn and a salad😎

leannec how are you liking subbing as a whole? Are 7th and 8th graders the worst? Yes, I really like it  I finally don't have a sick feeling in my stomach every night because I dread going to work the next day! Even the worst classes I have subbed in are not the worst I have seen in my own or in colleagues classrooms ... no one trying to choke each other out or setting off bear spray!  No one has told me to F-off ... I like grade 7 the most! That is what I have taught for the majority of my career ... they can be great! 8's are a weird bunch ... 9's are mixed ... I like junior high because I can have (usually) reasonable conversations with them and I don't have to deal with bodily functions |

Happy Birthday tmarschall ! lucyg have a fun trip ! It looks like I'm not going to get to my closet after all. I was called to go in to work today so was unable to get anything done here at home again. For dinner we are having fish and chips. |

tmarschall Happy birthday!!!! ❤️🎂❣️🎉 lucyg enjoy your trip! scrapmaven which video games are your favorite? I'm thinking of downloading a few. leannec I had to teach on art to middle schoolers and elementary students in my son's school. And the 1st graders were more well behaved than the 7-8th grade classes. Really just a few students were challenging but the other volunteers did not want to engage. It takes special teachers to teach middle schoolers! ❤️ Had PT yesterday for my back and I really felt it. I need to get into a routine of doing it a few times a day. Had a fun meeting this morning and tonight will make roast herbed turkey breast, corn on the cob and asparagus.

Marina, I really enjoyed Animal Crossings New Horizons, but after a while it got a bit old. Disney Dreamlight Valley is fun. It's similar to ACNH, but has quests and it's different. You can decorate parts of your valley. In ACNH you decoorate your island and you can visit other islands. We had a group on the board and I was not as active as the other ladies, but when I was active it was a lot of fun. Now I'm playing Hogwarts Legacy. It's really fun. You can play from Story mode to Hard mode. Story mode makes the battles foolproof, so I'm doing that. I enjoy the puzzles and HP stuff. Dh and are I going to start It Takes Two for the Switch. That's for us to play together.

Happy Birthday tmarschallHad a hair appointment this morning. Then had to hunt swim shirts for Luke that were not blue, green or white. Brighter colors make kids more visible at pools. So dd requested some. Since it was raining I decided to get a pedicure. He rubbed the bottom of my foot so hard it hurts to walk. Dh still went to golf in the rain. So I was solo for dinner. I had a grilled portabella burger with chips & salsa. Enjoy Tahoe lucyg I hope your bathroom is going quick scrappert |
