Morning all.
Happy – Hope you have a productive day with the shop work and are able to get to your yoga class as well. Wow, that’s a lot of snow.
I’m sure it’ll be gone quickly. Still - it puts a damper on enjoying spring. Sorry your mom didn’t phone you on your bday. Was it forgetfulness? I don’t want or need big celebrations or gifts for my bday, but just a special meal and a treat (of course) or even just being wished a happy birthday is nice. Some people insist it’s just another day, but why not make it a little bit special?
Hi Annie. Too much togetherness for you? I get it. BF and I have experienced that on vacation when we’re in a car together, LOL. Good for C with the fish – you know where they came from and it’s healthy for you. I believe my mom has requested the book Heaven is for Real from her library after seeing something on tv about it. Happy mentioned that movie The Other Woman to me too – I’ll have to see what that’s about. I don't even think I've seen a trailer or commercial for it yet. Yeh, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Spiderman movie and don’t care if I ever do.
Shad – I like sound of DS’s lights in the kitchen, esp. with the fading of one color into another. Sounds soothing. I do like decorative sconces – you don’t see those much anymore. I still remember the old place we went for great hamburgers that was sort of a cross between a cave and a hunting lodge – how I loved the sconces that looked like flaming torches, LOL. We have a couple recessed ceiling fixtures by the fireplace that are different because they aim the bulb towards the artwork over the mantel. And all our recessed lighting is dimmable. I like that...except when I turn on the lights to look for something and bf has dimmed them so far down I can’t see a thing and I have to move the teeny tiny slidey thing up to get them back to useful wattage.
Terra – I noticed your ticker yesterday but didn't want to say anything unless/until you did – congrats on the loss!! Good job Terra!!
The walking is paying off!
Ceejay – Oy, your job gets so much more difficult with the severe weather – things freezing up in the cold, frying out from lightning, flooding…Sorry you couldn’t have a calm, easy week before your vacation.
I’m glad you were handling it though! Wishing you a wonderful time with your family and friends on vacation in Branson!!!
Michelle – I hope you were able to get a good night’s sleep last night. Nice you caught up with the out of town friend, good you had a nice time with the hs friend last night. Gosh, how nice he’s going to Mexico for an extended stay!
Susie – I hope the MRI goes well tomorrow – no more snafus! I sure hope you get your cortisone shot – you don’t need knee and foot pain at the same time!
Hi Pattience – Drop in any time to give us an update!

Nothing much to report. We went to Costco last night in search of disposable gloves. They come in handy for food prep, and also for dog walks. We ended up having the big hot dogs they sell there for dinner. Meal of champions – not!
The admin had a going away type dinner with a vendor we work with and got some scoop on our new sr mgr. We are correct in our assessment of her. I won’t get into it, but I will say that I will need to watch my back around her. Part of my eating struggle more recently has been related to stress over the admin leaving and also the realization that this new sr mgr is making me not want to work in the department anymore.
Sorry to end on that depressing note, but that’s where my thoughts are at these days.
TTFN.
to you to get sewing again 
Actually it sounds quite lovely. I like the idea of combining mood lighting with showing off your artwork. Thank you Iin advance) for setting up the new thread. 
to all. I'll try and check in later.
