So...whats for dinner?

Seaside, in other words you are enjoying a couple hours of peace!  Enjoy the movie, it's one of my faves too!

Home from #12 and dinner with my DS and DH.  Just a little tired tonight, no surprise really.  Tomorrow night we are meeting JoyceK and her DH for a holiday celebration dinner.  I'm so looking forward to it!  My treatment is at 4, so we should be back in time for our 6:30 date.

The electricy is out so... no stove, no mirowave, no light in kitchen.

So Blue tortilla chips! With .... Cottage Cheese!  Butter!  Salsa!  Canned Beans!  Warning  don't smile at anyone after this.

Lost of electricity...........nasty .............comment about smiling.....hysterical.........thanks for the visual.....................hahahahahha

minustwo- You make me laugh- Ok so i finally went to the ER today and i had to wait 3 hours, was not thrilled about that and that is why i did not want to go, but i have atorn  ligament and all they did was wrap in in a ace bandage which i already had. They told me to keep it up and not walk on it for a while and keep ice on it, i had already been doing all that, so basicaly it was a waste of time, but i guess at least i know it was not broke or fractured. but thanks for caring ;-)))

Went to a ugly sweater christmas party tonight, at least thats what it was suppose to be, the person who won had lights all over them and was more artistic and awesome than ugly, i told them i was ugly and should of won, they laughed at me but still did not win. Oh well! Had a great time.

i love reading the glimpses into your lives (all of you).

Tonite I am making a polenta casserole with layers of cheese, spinach, mushrooms, ham and more cheese betw/ polenta layers.

I had dinner with both my DS and my DH last night.  DS has really been there for me through all this, quite a surprise as he is, by his own admission, self-absorbed. 

I do think I am going to drive myself to rads, though, or let my DD take me.  These men just turn into some other beings when driving in Boston traffic.  I swear I was car sick last night and this afternoon!  The traffic wasn't too bad today, we were a bit early and they took me right away.  It took about 23 minutes to get in the garage, park, walk to Rad Oncology, check in, change, get treated, and reverse the process! 

I agree about this thread and how we share our lives.  I participate in another blog with about 15 people and the same thing happened.  It was started to talk about diabetes and share ideas for managing it.  Now we are friends, having been on the blog for five years.  Many of us have gotten together in person, and when we do it's like we are old friends just catching up on things.   This is a warm and wonderful group of women who really care about one another.  It doesn't get much better than that!

We'll be leaving in 15 minutes to meet up with Joycek and her DH.  I'm making my DH change his clothes.  What makes him think that a denim shirt and a pair of blue jeans is OK for a holiday dinner in a nice restaurant??? 

I've been off line for several days (computer problems), so I have no idea what's going on. I'm baking italian seeded cookies tonight. I love these cookies. My godmother used to make them. I think this is the last variety going in my cookie tins. I'm giving the tins to my friends, at work, on Monday.

Hautie - I actually thought about you the night we were at the Hilltop...I thought you said you lived in or near Revere!  If we go again in that area, I'll let you know.  Why don't you PM me your phone number?

We had a fabulous time tonight with JoyceK and her DH.  I had rack of lamb, my DH had a steak, Joyce had shrimp and pasta, and her DH had veal.  As always, the conversation flowed and it was a great evening! 

My rad #13 was no problem - the drive was OK but the stop and go, herky/jerky driving just makes me nauseous!  I may very well drive myself a few days next week.  I think I feel just fine (I keep waiting for that extreme fatigue to hit me, but so far I'm not noticing anything too bad) and I might enjoy some peace!  Maybe I'm just overly sensitive at the moment...  DS#2 won't be able to drive because my appointments are too early - he'd have to take off too much time from work.  DS #1's driving isn't bad, but he has a stick and you know what that's like in stop and go traffic.  DH hasn't done a single bit of Christmas shopping so he needs to get that done.  LOL, what a riot!  Actually, I am lucky to have so much help and don't want to complain too much!!!

Oh, Laurie, that's so great!!

You must be so happy!

Electricity still out

For dinner, Mcdonalds yuck and then later OJ and tortilla with butter and frozen PB&J.  I'm a pig, Couldn't wait for the bread to defrost. 

I have a few lights in the bedroom area but not in the kitchen . Hopefully it will be fixed tomorrow, as, I have another Date! ( different person ) and would really like to clean this place up! 

Hauntie- I had never heard of seeded cookies before, you are always cooking up somthing different and good sounding. Yum!!

Michelle- Glad you had a nice dinner date out- Hoping the rads keep getting easier for you.

Laurie- Thats funny, your husband sounds like such a cutie! Im going to yell at you now, and tell you to pick up those antibiotics LOL! We go to hawaii every year in Janurary since we moved from there, we stay at the sheraton waikiki, thats where i met my husband. i was going through a divorce, so was he, and i was staying with my sister who works there and met him at the sandbar, it was love(lust) at first sight LOL! We go for 2 weeks starting january 7th through the 22nd i think.

Bedo- You are too funny, frozen pb&j haha! another dinner date, you go girl! Hasn't your electricity been off for quite awhile? Hope it gets turned back on soon

Stage1-I hear ya on that, its hard to lose weight especially during the holidays!

Went to dinner with friends had our christmas gift exchange, they are leaving for florida tomorrow and wont see them until new years. had crab louie and french fries, no drinks tonight for me, i was being good. But I  know i wont have a hangover tomorrow, yay!

Everyone has so much going on! Debbie, I was jealous of Bermuda, now I am jealous of Hawaii! Have a great time. Hope your foot is doing better. Torn ligaments can take a long time to feel better. Do you have a boot to wear?



Seaside, I was watching miracle on 34th street at the same time as you. I didn't like it being colorized. Did you?



Laurie, that is great to be getting a new washer and dryer. I would like to get one of the front loading ones, but what I have isn't broen, so won't spend the money on it. Make sure you get your antibiotic. You want to be feeling better.



Bedo, I agree, a date, how fun. Those days have been over for me so long, but would love to live vicariously through you and hear the details.



Michelle and Joyce, so glad you had a nice dinner. Yours is one of the really good stories from the website. I know how you feel about the driving. Everytime I get in the car with my DH I ask him to please leave lots of following distance when he's driving. I can get neaseus (sp?) when he drives.



Hauntie, I wish I were one of your coworkers! I made butter cookies that came out well, and toll house as well, which were gone in a few days. I made some more, and they didn't come out at all, we're so flat. I figured out I got confused withe the butter measurements and put a lb in instead of half a lb. why do they use those confusing cup measurements for butter, why don't they just tell you in lbs? Or maybe I am the only one who gets confused by it?



Apple, I agree with enjoying the glimpses into everyone's lives. All the women here are just so genuinely nice, I love it here.



Had veggie burgers again last night since I took my DD out after school to do some Christmas shopping. Going out tonight to a Christmas party at my DH's coworker's house.

We are being picked up at 5:30AM Tuesday morning, might as well stay up all night, LOL

Right now it is 71 and chance of rain in Bermuda.

Debbie, I'm glad you had your injury checked, one time when my DH had an abscess burst we did not get out of the ER for 8 hours, that is because they had to clean it and stick a wick in the hole so it would drain and stitch the wick to his skin so it would not fall out. YUCK.

At work we had a Chili contest and I tasted the most delicious chili called Pumpkin Spice Chili.  I had 2 helpings and it won 2nd place.

Thinking of things to pack.
