leannec, speed dating sounds very interesting. It's a rapid fire way to see if a fella is worth a first date. Do they still have Singles Night at the Supermarket? I'm really looking forward to Speed Dating! Online dating is just "meh!" right now ... No singles nights at any supermarkets here ... they should do that but it would probably be all young people! Tearisci , do you watch The Circle on Netflix? I really enjoy it and the season just dropped. leannec , are you still watching? No, I don't watch The Circle anymore ... not enough time!

Today is our 28th anniversary and DS is taking us to our favorite Mexican restaurant. I'll be coming home with extra chips and salsa because theirs is amazing!! Happy Anniversary! And belated Happy Anniversary to The Birdhouse Lady and Mr. The Birdhouse Lady! There were no appealing jobs posted for today so I decided to stay home! I desperately need groceries so I will be going to the store shortly ... My mum is coming over later for dinner ... we will be having a Hello Fresh recipe of salmon something! The only plans I have this weekend is Speed Dating on Sunday night ... I'll discuss that further when I post on Sunday!

I took the day off work today because my condo building is having a Spring Tea this afternoon and I love attending things like that ... it's ironic because it's freaking SNOWING outside! My mum is coming over later to attend the Tea with me and stay for dinner ... the people that will attend the Tea will be closer in age to her than to me so I think she will enjoy herself. We're all a bunch of old retired ladies drinking tea! Dinner will be something from Hello Fresh ... it will be salmon something because I ordered two salmon recipes for some reason.

I worked at a school today that I have been to before and I like ... some great grade 9 classes! I'm off tomorrow which is good because I am TIRED! Dinner is minestrone soup ... not homemade! We had a dump of snow last night and it is expected tonight as well ... usually no biggie since I park underground but they are cleaning the underground parking lot tomorrow so I had to surface park ... my Jeep will be covered in snow tomorrow ... blech!

No real update on dh's cousin, but the general consensus is that he is deceased somewhere due to his poor health- or that he was murdered by the person he was with (someone who is not him.has been trying to use his debit card and his belongings have been found in the woods). The TBI is now involved and have issued a silver alert for him. If he doesnt show up to get his disability when it hits the bank tomorrow, we will have an answer as to whether he is alive. Oh, I'm sorry ... I'm still sending positive thoughts for a better outcome!

That sounds heavenly!! (Wait, you are talking about 25 c elcius, right? ) It's only going to be 16 here today, which is too bloody cold for my liking. And to make matters worse, our ducted heating isn't working. It wasn't too bad on the weekend, because it got to about 23. But the house feels icy this morning. Hopefully the heating will be fixed sometime this week. In the meantime, I will be living in my big thick Oodie. It’s only 13°C here and it’s chilly still without a jacket. It’s not awful but there is too much wind. It also went down to 9 and hailed. We have crazy weather. We're expecting snow this week!

I just worked this morning ... the school has a reputation for being challenging but the students were fine for me ... loud, but fine. I met their teacher as I was leaving and she was thankful that I said I would come back. The principal called me a little while ago and asked me to work tomorrow ... I'm already booked ... she's putting me on their "preferred sub list" Seriously, these schools I have been subbing in have nothing on the school I taught in for four years! It's 4pm and I haven't decided on dinner ... there were coupons in my mailbox for burgers and onion rings so I might grab that! Yum!

Hi everyone! I'm posting early because I'm hitting Denny's for breakfast with my Mum soon ... I'm pretty hungry so I think a veggie omelette is in my future! So I went for a drink with this guy I met online yesterday ... we really got along, he's my age and everything looks good on paper but he's not interested in a relationship ... I don't need another FWB ... so we parted as friends I'm picky and I'm not desperate so no biggie! After breakfast I am picking up my girlfriend so that we can run a couple of errands and then we are coming back to my place to hang out for awhile ... My Mum is coming over after bingo for dinner ... I have a Hello Fresh delivery coming today so she can choose something from that This is what I posted on Facebook today ... I carry a huge hot pink Lululemon water bottle that I love but, of course, many of the students I encounter have Stanley cups these days ... water bottles are a big thing in schools! How is everyone feeling today? scrapmaven? jeremysgirl? What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

Hi everyone! Be prepared for a bombardment of my birthday photos! Being 57 feels just fine! Molly, Emma, my Mum and I went to a dinner theatre on Wednesday night that was awesome! 80's music theme which is right up my alley! The food was great too ... The next night my girlfriend and I went to a Mexican restaurant ... I had calamari with adobo sauce to dip it in ... soooooo good! Here we go! Sorry my photos are so large! Today I am just hanging about ... I have a date tonight! That is all I am going to say because my plans always fall through. Dinner depends on that situation ... What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? How is everyone feeling? Have a great Saturday everybody!

I only worked half a day today and that was enough ... got into it with a 12 year old girl first period ... she had some sort of rude comment about everything and I shut her down ... she was not impressed ... a manipulator to the max ... doesn't work with me. I have no plans tonight so far so I guess I'll be playing on the laptop and catching up on things I have recorded on TV ... I was supposed to see this guy but he said he couldn't make it until 10pm ... ummm, dude, I am 57-freaking-years-old, 10pm is not a start time for me! This is why I am single. Dinner will be rechauffe calamari with adobo sauce to dip it in from the Mexican restaurant we went to last night ... of course it will be all rubbery warmed up but that's OK because it's still yummy!

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes everyone! I have been so dead tired from working this week I've been MIA! I went to a dinner theatre with my dd's and mum last night ... sooo good! I'll post photos on the weekend ... My mum and I went to ... you guessed it ... Denny's this morning and I got my meal for free. I asked for cash as a gift so that I could order a personalized license plate ... I have wanted one forever and I finally ordered it today ... I think it will arrive in a couple of weeks. I am going to a Mexican restaurant tonight with my girlfriend ... it was on Diners, Drive-In's and Dives not long ago but we've been going there for years! I have "man plans" tomorrow night but I'll keep that to myself. I hope you feel better soon scrapmaven!

The majority of light bulbs needed in my house are Edison ... they don't sell them everywhere so I definitely order them online ... I would say that 90% of the lightbulbs I have purchased have been from Amazon ... no problem with breakage at all ... I just changed a bunch of light fixtures in my condo and they all require Edison bulbs ... now I have a bunch of regular bulbs sitting on a shelf with no home ... I will probably sell them cheap on FB Marketplace.

We had another open house today, but doesn't sound like any serious buyers came though. Gotta love the looky-loos. It was a bit of a challenge keeping 2 dogs occupied for the time they we had to be out of the house. It was too cold to go to the park which had been my original plan. It was supposed to be from 2-4 but when I drove home at 4:20 there were still cars in my driveway. So we ended up at the park anyway in the mud and the cold because the dogs were starting to get crazy in the backseat. Fingers crossed for some serious buyers to show up at tomorrow's open house! Oh! Hi! So happy to see you! Fingers and toes crossed for an offer/sale! Most sales are not generated by open houses but it's worth a shot. (My ex is a realtor so I learned a lot about buying and selling through osmosis! )
