WOW!! Somebody help me pull the door closed! Just blew in from Iowa with a supply of buffalo strips from my favorite spot. Have the blue cheese dressing and celery to go along with them.

Gonna get myself a cold beer, can I get anything for anyone?

AAAH, that tastes good!

You know I have to share a sweet little story. My son(who I have whined about on here before), did the nicest thing this morning. My daughter got her braces on yesterday and she spent the rest of the day and this morning keeping her mouth covered whenever she spoke to you. Talk about testing your listening skills! This morning I hear the two kids talking in my son's room and then I hear him say "Wow, those are cool! You don't look stupid, you look really rockin with those!" As I reach the top of the stairs, she comes out of his room with a huge grin on her face and flashes that metal smile at me. I had not seen them and she didn't want to even discuss them. They are purple! She looked so cute. Seems he bargained with her that he would give her this card she wanted if she showed him her braces. Why didn't I think of bribery?! She had been practically crying about having to go to school up to that moment. Instead they went running out the door laughing! Don't your children just amaze you sometimes?

Oh chili and a hot fire sounds great!! My toes are frozen!!
Backhoed--wow about the party!

I feel like i am in cookie town USA LOL!! Girl scout cookies, big yummy sale and market day cookie maddness--cookie order forms are every where on my desk LOL!!

Is the bar still open? I am taking some of my much needed college classes at night and tonight was the first night of the semester and I am tired. How about I get that fire going strong for all of us whose feet don't get warm from November until April [img]smile.gif[/img] while those of your who see sun all the time can tell us stories about the thing missing most from my life right now!

LOL!!! Hey librarymom, I would love to see you drive during a snow storm!!!!LOL! Could be a real hoot if you were the only one on the road and there were hay bales set out on either side for ya. Almost like being on an amusement ride (except for when there really are cars on the road)

How is Page2 doing everyone? Haven't been in for a very long time...Been EXTREMELY BUSY doing my new thing up at the high school now. But, now Im back yahoo!

Just put together a surprise 25th anniversary dinner for a much beloved, respected and admired music teacher. He was so clueless!! He looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a car when he and his wife walked in on the 124 guests, most of them alumni going back 25 years!!! His entire family was there from a couple of states too. It was a great time for all and an evening no one will forget for years!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Did I hear carmel rolls? I'll be right there. I love sweets with coffee or tea when the weather is cold. The only problem is that if you have snow, I have never been in snow, so I won't know how to act. My first response would to act like a kid and just want to play.

Oh chili sounds good. I do have some up in the freezer, but I decided to make veg & beef soup. Sooo good. It's only been up to 45 degrees today(I know that so many of you are dealing with it being much colder), but for us down here in the south we're not accostomed to this.

I finally decided to get moving today and went food shopping, dinner is on the stove cooking, lunches are packed for Tuesday, clothes are ironed, school newsletter is complete, Brownie stuff is taken care of,year book is done and sent off, laundy is almost done, and I need another day off of work just to recover . Well, actually, I can rest a little bit at work.

Hope everyone is healthy and safe and enjoying their day!
