    Ahhhh, the weekend is over and our club did well on their fundraiser.  DH and I put the fish on consignment so we made a bit of cash as well.  The two fish sold were adults, both around 23-24" long. 

    There is a high pressure system in our area and it looks like a week of nice weather.  So happy that I am feeling a bit better and will get some enjoyment of being outdoors.  I need to prep my seed pans for starting my spring vegetables.

    Since we were gone the whole weekend and all day Friday, my laundry didn't get done, so I will be wading through that today.  Fun....NOT!  Don't mind washing and drying it, it's the folding and hanging I hate!

    I hear ya on the laundry, Meece.  Glad you got some money for your fish.

    Losing weight is a long process....which is why I haven't been able to keep it off...

    Speaking of which...I'm hungry... time for my Slimfast. 

    DD hit a car-eating pothole this morning.  Figures - we just brought it for its 1st scheduled maintenance on Friday.  She said there was a bump on the tire - guy at car place said that his had that too and his blew.  That's what I was afraid of...soooo...we're off to the car place when I get out of the shower.  Hopefully if it needs to be replaced, they have one in stock.  I don't want her driving to the main campus tomorrow night on a donut tire...those are so stupid...I don't trust them. And we're supposed to get some weather tomorrow night.  Great. What good is all wheel drive if you have a donut?

    Ducky LOL! 

    Meece, I had no idea the fish are that big!!! wow...must be pretty.  I've been California dreamin' am trying to decide when to visit DS in SFO...usually it's in August, but DS says weather is better in May.  We went last may and it was a bit cool...but nice.
    Sandy, hope you had a good nite with the grands....and that you were able to Laughing
    Sheila, you're making me hungry with your cooking and cheesecake tastings!  I ate well all day but binged after a small dinner...but the overall direction is still downward....slowly.
    Chris, sorry about that wheel...I just got my car back after stupidly running into a snowpile on my own driveway.  It's fixed and you'd never know anything happened.  Except for my empty checking account!
    Linda, no no no more snow!!!  enuff...

    Nite all...getting up in 5 hours. 
    (((TOL)))

    Yeah, cars sure can empty the checking account.  They fixed the tire, and DD drove the old old car to classes later yesterday - pot hole was still there... we picked up the car after I got home from rehab and DD got home from class - then we treated ourselves to Friendly's ice cream - and I wonder why I can't lose weight/keep it off...

    Ducky - hope the grandbaby is feeling better and the dog has stopped farting so you don't have to get a gas mask...

    Sandy- hope you had fun with the kids.

    Linda - after tomorrow's winter weather, I hope we get a break for a while.  It is nerve-wracking worrying about the kids driving, let alone driving in crappy weather.

    Well, DS is back in school after getting out early yesterday because of a bomb threat...even though police say they think the text was referring to stink bombs, I hope whoever is involved gets in big trouble. 

    My mother goes home today...I hope it is uneventful and that she feels better being at home.   I have to do the background check/drug test stuff on the website they sent me a link to.  I got it early Saturday morning - it said to do it within 24 hrs, but the website said it needed to be done by the 27th...I didn't want to do it and find out I had to have a drug test today - so I've put it off... DS has an ortho appt this afternoon- maybe I'll do the stuff on the website when I get back from that.  Everything happens at once, doesn't it?  Though I shouldn't complain - I am glad that I wasn't working when my mother ended up in the hospital. 

    (((((((TOL))))))))

    Chris, so glad she is coming home.  I know what you mean about not working when your parent is ill.  I was without a job when my mom was very ill two years ago.  I could never have been there enough if I was at work.

    I had a strange dream last night in which I met Linda.  I kept asking what made her come here, but she never would tell me.  By the way, Linda, you look pretty good with shoulder length hair!Laughing

    Mom went home - hope she behaves for my father. 

    She's so frustrating.  She wants company, but doesn't want people invading her privacy...  can't have it both ways...

    So I need to do laundry.  I usually do the bleach load followed by a non-bleach light load in which I do DD's and my underwear and light tshirts, etc.  So...I put off doing those loads until DD and I were home (and I could remember) to ask DD for her underwear since she missed the last laundry I did (about 10 days ago.)  She does have a decent amount of underwear, but I didn't think she had more than 3 weeks' worth.  So I asked her the other day and she said she would do it herself with her tshirts.  I said - why not just let me do them with this load?  She didn't do it. So now I want to do those loads, she didn't give me her clothes, and I checked her underwear drawer and she's down to the white pairs she had to wear under her white band pants in high school.  What is wrong with her?!!  How lazy do you have to be not to gather up your dirty clothes and give them to someone else to wash?  I hate being a mother.

    DS just came into the room, sat down at the computer, and farted,  saying, "How many ways can I expel air from my body?" 

    My life is ridiculous.

    Hi am getting my hair done ad am hálf asleep. Came from work. Only 5 hrs sleep last nite. And 45 min. Drive home in dark.

    Sheila u r rite the shopping sin is even better than the eating...am typing on a kindle with one finger.
    Not sure what I'm saying
    End of Feb. and everybody needs to get out of the snowy rainy north.

    Chris we all survived our big kids. I have 6 and I hardly remember. Your kids sound really normal and pretty special. Blink and they grow. Meanwhile complain all you want -I did!

    DH still complains and they don't even live nearby any more.

    Hope to checknin later.

    Chris hugs and prayers for your mom and dad. He will need support during the transition. It is so hard to be the sandwich generation between kids and parents.

    Hope you pass your drug test after all this LOL!
