Monday morning:
Awoke to snow on the ground....not much, but it's definitly the white stuff......and so it begins. Winter, a time of cold sleep and rewnewal for the earth. A time of freezing my ass off, scooping snow and slipping on slick spots for me!
I find it curious, that someone like myself who normally can come up with something to say on almost anything,...

OK....I didn't get the chili made for dinner yesterday. My 3 nephews who were back for Thanksgiving stopped by and asked if I wanted to go with them into town for a little bit, yesterday morning. I didn't get back in time to make the chili and have it ready for dinner. So, even though it may not sound quite appropriate for Sunday dinner, it's...

I would say you're not a loser that sits by the computer, waiting for me to update. In fact, you're so cool, I still wait for your comments, even if they are on page 4. 
I'm soooooooo proud of myself! I had only 1 plate full of food at dinner and actually had room for a nice piece of pie! Granted it was 1 heaping plate full....but I didn't go back for seconds, none the less...... 
I had a Hard Rock about 4pm and then another piece of pie about 6:30pm.
Everything went well....my cooking was fabulous...and it was a...

Lots O Thanksgiving preperations are underway! 
As I'm hosting the family this year, there is more than normal to do.......
Luckily, everything is under control and so far all the preps are looking like everything will be successful.
I'm doing deviled eggs for the first time this year....a family favorite and tradition....if I don't get them to taste like my Mom's or my sister's, they...

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
rosemarie:
Deviled eggs are so good. and so underappreciated. A delicious classic, thats what I think. 
I hope that you all had fun today. I was sending you happy turkey-wishes.
It's only like 7pm, and i am going to bed. I am stuffed fuller than the bird was.

Coffee!
Although a bit sketchy, here is the conventional thought on the beginning history of that wonderful stimulating beverage that we all seem to love and enjoy :
According to one story, the effect of coffee beans on behavior was noticed by a sheep herder from Caffa Ethopia named Kakli as he tended his sheep. He noticed that the sheep became hyperactive after eating the...

Hi sweetie!
I miss you, and know that I haven't been around much. Things are crazy, I have so much to do before I leave, but I think about you all of the time. I hope you are well.
Your friend always,

SATURDAY
Grocery shopping day....rounding up supplies for Thanksgiving dinner. I've heard some rumblings from family members, as to whether I'm up to hosting and cooking for 18 people. Actually, all that I'm doing is the turkey and dressing, green beans and deviled eggs. Everyone else is bringing the rest, so I'm not sure why their confidence in me is less than 100% It really tends...

You've never had Starbucks?
I was doing some more photo stuff on the computer last night....loading some pics and arranging and rearranging some albums. After about an hour, I got tired of doing that and thought I'd take a break for awhile. I started playing around with one of the photo editing programs and found a feature I'd not known about before.....funny what things lurk hidden away, until you...

Yesterday, I had contact with a friend of mine, that I hadn't seen for awhile. We had gone through school together, from Kindergarten to graduating Seniors. Coming from a small, midwest, rural town our school was small, maybe even tiny, by most of your standards. We had 48 in our graduating class. Needless to say, we all knew each other pretty well and for the...

That picture is SO amazing... and let's not talk about age.. cause i wasn't even born til 82! But you look very handsome
darklis:
Thanks. Hot is always a good word, unless it means like touching a stove. I really have come to love you all. In my regular life, if I have something I need to know or do, I think "What would my SG friends do?" Maybe that means I have zero life, or maybe it means you are a cool bunch of people. 
It's cool and damp here this morning, with a little drizzle in the air. I'm on my second mug of coffee as I contemplate the events of the day. Monday's are always clean up days for me.....laundry, cleaning the house, errands, etc.
Had a nice leisurely Sunday.....and even had time for a nap in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the nap seemed to have ruined my nights...

Hi Sabre!
Your Thanksgiving plans sound like fun. I don't think that I am going to celebrate the holiday this year. It's time and 1/2 at work, so I will probably be stocking shelves and helping customers with the flu and cold remedies.
If you are having 15 people for turkey, how big will the turkey have to be?
I'll bet your spread will be amazing and scrumptious. I know how you love food and entertaining, too.
Thinking about you,
Rose

Thanks. babe. I think you're awesome too. In fact I love all my SG friends. They make the bad go away.
My week, has been and continues to be so plain and unassuming that I'm having a hard time coming up with anything of any interest to write about......please forgive me! 
Until I have something I deem worthwhile to say.....
Have a great weekend!

My week has been pretty uneventful, too. I have to dig deep to find anything to write at all. (see boot story as an example).
I just wanted to say hi, though I am feeling kindof boring tonight.
I hope that the rest of your weekend is aabsolutely thrilling.
