Rosey! Good luck tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you!
Today, Dear Hearts, was most challenging for yours truly. I got almost all the way to work, only to find the access road to our office park underwater, and a police car sitting across the road with blinkers blinking to warn us away. There were no suggested detour routes, and having just moved to these offices in January, I'm completely unfamiliar with the area except for the way I get to work every day. I was in contact back and forth with one of my colleagues who has a GPS system, but all the alternate routes it suggested were also flooded. Pretty amazing. We finally got there after about an hour and a half of driving up on one dead end after another. The flooding is pretty bad around Boston and along the coast to north and south. Then, at work, things were busy and annoying and it looks like I will be embroiled in meetings for most of the week, and I think you know my feelings about meetings. I think we have some meetings for the sole purpose of discussing when we should next meet and what we should discuss at some later meeting. NOT optimum for getting day-to-day projects completed, trust me.

Last week I stirred cooked butternut squash into some Sugar Free vanilla pudding and added Stevia and Pumpkin pie spice, yummy!
That DOES sound yummy, Bobbi! I think I'm going to have to try it myself! Okay, I'm getting myself messed up here with colors and quotes and such. I'm going to stop trying to do that. Grrrr.
Freda, luckily, I have managed to get through this winter in a fairly healthy manner. I know I took some sick days but I can't remember if I was actually sick or just in need of a "mental health day". With me, you never can tell.
Oh, I miss Isabella!!!!! I hope she gets back online soon!
Linda, I wish I had the courage to live simply and rid myself of all my "stuff". I have to admit that I just love beautiful things and like to surround myself with them. Of course nothing is more beautiful than nature, and you have surrounded yourself with that. I suspect that once I am able to retire, I'll want less stuff to be bothered with. Truth is, I already do want less, and I've stopped for the time being with all the decorating. Well, sort of stopped. I am redoing the guest bedroom, but nothing too drastic. Oh, blah. I haven't stopped after all. I want to though. I'd like to live in a yurt with some nice oriental rugs on the floor.
But I'd need to be someplace warmer and drier than here. And I'd need my own bathroom, separate from DH's. I'm just one big bundle of "needs". But the truth is that I'm never happier than I am on our annual pilgrimages up to the White Mountains where we live in the rough for a long 4-day weekend and solve the world's problems sitting around the campfire with our cronies. But I'm always happy to get back to my bubble bath, too.
Well,
Karen, you can just climb back up on the wagon with the rest of us and shape up for summer now that you're feeling better. Welcome back aboard!
So,
PT, did you find any low cal Chinese food or what? If you do, be sure and let me know - I'll drive out to Denver to get some with you.
Lynn, I sure hope you're feeling better for your Florida trip. Nothing puts a dent in a vacation any more than not feeling up to par. Get plenty of rest beforehand and make sure everything is organized and packed well ahead of time so that you're not running around trying to do it at the last minute. AND, I hear that it's warmed up down there, now, so you should be hitting some great weather. Have fun!
Okay, have a good night, y'all...see you tomorrow!

You'd love the winters!
