Yo-Vinnie how you doing? Love this.
Morning chicks, it is 5:20 am,-1, snowing or raining, some of both. I hate this stuff.
Ladies I should have started the post last night as I was thinking of all kinds of stuff then but now all I can say is that, "I want my warm beddddd."
I think it was Debbie that said a thunder storm was on its way, I love a good warm thunder storm.

One more thing before I go, Miss I will be thinking of you today. I will pray for you and yours, please remember, you are loved.

Well all for now, stay OP, have a safe Sunday, but take a large slice of the good day with you.
Love Tazcat.

Can I have that slice of a good day to go? I really need it!

I am getting better, slowly. The headache part has worn off but I still have a scratchy throat and stuffed nose. Spent most of yesterday as a couch potato. Dh and I are trying not to cross infect each other by sleeping in different rooms. Miree has a cough but her nose seems OK. Trust me, now is not the time to visit.

More of the same today, however, we ended up getting dumped on last night--it even blew down the stairwell to our basement door! Rosie is in her glory

Have a good day everyone!

and more coming down! I had to really shove to get the door onto the deck open for the doggage because there was a 2 foot drift! They had a ball out there romping in the new white snow. Church is cancelled and there is no way for Show Handling this afternoon! We are going to just cozy in and wait for Spring!
Coffee and a leisurely breakfast on the schedule this morning.

Wow! It's supposed to be 75F here today, so we are going to throw open our windows and enjoy some warmth before the cold front comes in. We had thunderstorms yesterday with tornado watches, so I guess Mother Nature wants to make it up to us!

I have been embarrassingly absent from the threads lately, I apologize. I read you all every day and laugh and sometimes want to cry, I just have to carve out a few minutes to post! Shame on me

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend, enjoy the snow if you're getting some, and enjoy the sunshine if that's coming your way. Talk to you later!

RUTH.........wasn't me this time!!!!!!! It was Sherri!!!!!!!!!! I swear I won't tell you that it was 71 here yesterday!!!!! I swear!! I swear!!

Any decorators amongst us?? My hubby is actually very good, but when he isn't interested in decorating, he isn't interested. I want to redo my bedroom. Do you pick out the wall color first or the window treatments and pick the wall color out of the window treatments? Oh....so many decisions I picked a few wall colors out yesterday, hubby doesn't like any of them, but he told me what did it matter if he didn't like them After almost 23 years of marriage.........I have him right where I want him!! I guess there really isn't a "better" way, is there?

Off to look at my paint samples again.

Have a good one all. I hope our northern ladies don't get buried in all that snow.

Debbie

I am NOT using the "F" (lorida) word and I am NOT telling you that the sun is shining and I have doors and windows open and I am NOT telling you that it's to be 70 in Houston again today. I am not telling you cause our wonderful moderator really does have a metal bra and a chickie purse with deadly talons.

Things here are so ol', same ol....

I hope to get back in a bit. Have a great one!

Ya know, "us" southern ladies are gonna pay for this! In July, as we "glisten" the northern chicks will be sitting on their decks in 75 degree weather with no humidity, while they enjoy their 4 days of summer................running quickly out of thread while snowballs once again rain down upon me.

Whoever wrote that in yesterdays thread was a genius! As the cookie was heading into the my mouth I was readng that--first cookie I have had since Christmas--yes I went ahead and ate it anyway But I had a good laugh while I did!

Well, DD team won first Gold at yesterdays competition--I could not have been more proud! That was fun! Anyway afterwards we took the girls to Red Robin for a big honking yep--I ate it....bun and all!--Saturdays seem to be my cheat day....unfortunately it has run into Sunday this week I'm stopping now though girls--just give me a kick in the rear and I will stay OP!!

Well, I am off to make a killer resume to send out to all the Doctors and facilities in a 50 mile radius..hoping to get some work--you know??
Thanks Taz for the warm prayers--Believe me I need them-my heart is permanately stuck in the pit of my stomach until after my mom's test!!

Dyan--I can't belive how expensve it is to stay in Panama City--Holiday Inn-237.00--per night--unbelievable--not sure I will be heading that way after all!!

LAter girls!
Love ya!!
miss

DEB! Throw down those paint chips! Head directly to a fabric store and shop for the fabric you love. You can pull wall colour out of it. You can use the fabric for a pillow, a bedspread, a curtain, whatever and the colours you use in a room should go around that. Pays to watch trading Spaces you know! tee-hee.... Happy decorating!

Miss D.---my signature should say "drop the donut" today. Who am I to break the after-church tradition of going to Krispy Kreme? Ok, so I didn't need to actually EAT one, but I'm only human!
North Carolina is extremely windy today. So, the warm temps of yesterday have all blown away and have been replaced by mid-50's.
Whoever lives the closest to me needs to come kick my butt back on program. Or do this:
Hope everyone has a great low-carb day!
Annette

nettie where in NC are you? Could be Sherrie or me.......depending on where you are, and which way the crow flys.

Deb, we're in Goldsboro. It's about an hour or so east of Raleigh-Durham. And you're right about us "glistening" in the summer. Holy cow, was it hot last summer!

I just have to laugh at these threads...I've been lurking here for a while (actually have posted a couple of questions and comments). I started low-carb a couple of weeks ago...I'm losing, so I'm sticking with it for a while!

But I had to chuckle at the diverse group here...from the snowy north to the tropical south! I'm in south Louisiana myself--the weather's very similar to Houston, MamaJ. I think in the wintertime our northern gals are going to have to live vicariously through us, and vica-versa in the summertime! Anyone like to garden? I'm headed outside for late winter cleanup (yes, it's late winter here!), to prune back the roses and see what's already blooming. I can see the daffodils, lorapetalum, and dianthus from here...

It is still snowing here so enough of the garden talk already - unless you have a spare bedroom! (Actually I love garden talk because then I know Spring is on its way. A friend reports robins in Georgia - they'll be here by April.)

I finally got my new printer hooked up and working. I've just been too darn busy the last ten days to tackle it. It went well - once I started to read the PC instructions rather than the MAC ones! The woodstove is burning, Harry is reading and the Doggage are lying and sleeping on the couch. I think I'll go and agitate them a bit - can't have too much sloth!

Happy Sunday afternoon!

I need a break, so I'm back again. Mr. Clean and I have the stove pulled out from the wall and are getting all the gunk and spider webs out. This is definitely not my favorite chore, and gets done only when necessary. We have relatives coming from Michigan next weekend and the following weekend. They are all on their way to Florida, and we're a convenient stop along the way. So, the nastiest bits of housework have to be done. On a good note, I found a missing steak knife and a soup spoon! I might as well pull out the fridge next while I'm at it. Ugh.
Well, I'm off!
P.S. justjane, I wanted so badly to start working the dirt in my flower beds today, but it is just too windy. I'll definitely start this week, though. Have fun for me, too! My pansies are still in bloom from October, when I planted them, and my azaleas are full of buds, but no blooms yet. I did see a tree flowered out this morning, though, but I'm not sure what it was. Spring, yeah!!
