Good Day , Bad Day?... How Was Your Day? come and share with us..

Went to the big mall Sunday at 11am for xmas shopping,took one look at the parking lot then immediately went home to watch some football.
 

Heyyy everyone...

Gloria is back from the world of work and Christmas shopper traffic madness...OMG!!! the traffic on the way home tonight..it took me an hour and a 1/4 to drive 5 miles which usually only takes me 15 minutes max... OK for you guys with your Automatics but most of here still drive 'stick shift'...so inching forward for 5 miles with one foot on the gas and the other on the clutch was agony... :( by the time I parked up at home, I was limping when I got out of the car..and walked up to the house..

Karen...have you got one of those Hot chocolate's for me pleaaase.. :D

Oh after living in the most Arid part of Southern Spain for many years I know what it's like to desperately want rain so much that you can just dance around in it, and thank the God of water.. LOL..

Hi..Georgia...what have I missed?...what's a 'cattle call'? ...I presume Fur is having an interview for a new job...but exactly what for...and yes....I absolutely hope she's successful..and if you're reading thsi Fur...please let us know..I would have had everything crossed for you today If I'd known. :D
 

Okay Holly...nice steaming mug of Hot Chocolate with mini marshmallows and whipped cream...on the side..lol. Sorry your ride home was such a mind numbing slow one. Traffic is scary slow this time of year...and a stick shift..wow. I used to zip around San Francisco in a VW bug with a stick shift...just praying the brakes held on the hills...lol

hope Fur's cattle call interview went well..hang in there girl. Have some Hot Chocolate :)

:glittered:
 
OOOh thankeee m'lady,...this hot choccie is the best I've ever tasted... don't want to appear greedy or nuttin'...but I don't s'pose I could trouble you for some Churros? :Dtumblr_m8ngy9gKj51qdvtj0o1_500.jpg


Oooh I had a V dub years ago...and the gear changer was on the steering wheel...I could never get used to that...

My o/h has an automatic...but most of us in the Uk still drive manual gears.. and tbh I'm not keen on automatics. I rented one a couple of months ago in Spain..brand new this years 16 valve model ..and it was so underpowered, I couldn't get it up steep mountain roads without changing it into Manual...waste of time LOL

Bad day, bad day. Got the results back from my small nerve biopsy and whoopee....the small nerves in the lower legs are "diminished" and "depressed" (well, join the crowd) - "early evolving small fiber neuropathy". Got a prescription and went to fill it - $165 for one month (my Part D won't cover it). I've filed an appeal with my pharmacy provider but I'm pretty sure they won't back down.

Tomorrow's the visit to the cardiologist to get the results from the two days of testing. Just can't wait to see what happens there......

AND I have to babysit most of the day. With a sick 2 1/2 year old. Who is extremely cranky. I can foresee that "Frozen" will be playing on TV repeatedly.

Could you check with your doc and see if there's a cheaper medicine that would do just as well?
 
My day wasn't so bad -- well, after I spent over an hour scraping and chipping snow and ice off my car, that is. I should have gone out and done it yesterday, but nooooo, that would have been too sensible. So it melted a little bit yesterday and then froze solid overnight, of course. YUCK!
 
That hot chocolate looks amazing, Holly I love the tea cup..gorgeous. Today was a gooood day. It was cold, but bright with sunshine. We went out for breakfast and then braved the crowds for a bit of Christmas shopping. I honestly didn't mind at all. I picked up some gifts and Christmas cards.

Hubby made a lovely fire and I finished off the Christmas cards. I like writing personal notes or letters with them and I enjoyed that. A neighbor gave us a bag of the sweetest, juiciest oranges from her tree and I've had two today...yum! I love the fragrance of citrus too..and I'm lucky to have neighbors with lemon and orange trees..lol.

Butterfly...sorry you had to scrape snow and ice..no fun for sure, but glad your day went well. Jujube, I hope they can give you more affordable medication and get you feeling better soon.

Stay warm, everyone.

:glitter-heart:
 
I took sweet Bonnie for her walk, despite the cold temperatures and wind. I cut it short, though, because my face felt like it was turning to ice. That was my only foray out into the world today. I wish it would warm up just a tad here -- at least enough to melt the ice and snow that's still here in places.
 
Had a great day and got lots done. I am down to only a few items on the Christmas "to do" list. It's really not a very long one. I'll be baking cookies this weekend...Oatmeal Scotchies and Snickerdoodles...and day before Christmas Eve..two pecan pies. We had dinner out. I had the best mushroom omelette and fresh fruit.

Warm hellos to to my cold fellow posters on this board...Butterfly, I know your sweet baby was happy to get even part of a walk :). Our weather was in the 50's here and my baby had on her red Christmas sweater when we took her out for a stroll. The wind was cold though.

Have a nice Friday everyone.

:glitter-heart:
 
We were busy today too so I still haven't unpacked. We visited our x-daughter-in-law and our grandson, his new wife and our other grandson was over there visiting too. She lives about 35 miles from us and has taken the month off work as she had a large fibroid tumor removed. We had a nice visit and she said she'll come over for New Years, our son, (her X )and our son's new wife will also be here but that'll be fine. Our son and my brother will deep pit something. So once again I'm exhausted and there is a lot I should be doing around here. I thought I'd get to spend the week end at home but now my brother has to go help his son tomorrow and so can't go with my husband to a city up north where he's going to buy some old car part. He said he didn't mind going alone but I don't want him going out to see someone who had an ad on Craigslist by himself.
 
Linda..sounds like you've had your hands full. I understand not wanting to let your husband go alone for anything from Craig's List. I baked my cookies...put them into zip locks..except for a few..,haha..and into the freezer for Christmas Day. My cousins daughter stopped by with a big gift bag..she gave me a teddy bear that says what you say when you squeeze it's paw...lol. My dog went crazy. She's a character! I love her crazy gifts.

have a nice weekend everyone.

Hey! Where has everybody gone? Nobody here since the 19th and the thread was buried so far down on the second page that I had to hunt it! Where's Hollydolly? I. WANT. HOLLYDOLLY.
 
Resting today. Tomorrow, Christmas Eve, I will be helping out at the volunteer shop to hand out those last Christmas parcels that those who would not have a Merry Christmas without. We've been doing that for the past week.
 
Good news was finding one more letter for Mr. Baby's gift. I got wooden letters from Target and custom painted each one. Then looked at one of the registries...I had heard they had one more name for him. We have so many Richards in the family it gets confusing sometimes. They came up with Ardel...I certainly never heard of it but it's all good. So I found the last A yesterday and will have it done just in time.
Something it reminds me of a family story...hey, they could name him Green Hefty Bag Ramirez and he's still my little snugglekins...but I had a nephew born in the late 70's. His parents name him Nile. More common now but at the time unusual. My aunt refused to accept the name Nile. Even into adulthood she called him "Boy". Even to the end of her life he was Boy...so ridiculous thinking about it now.
 
Better day today. Had to take one of our senior rescues to the vet yesterday. Poor thing is totally blind and now needs drops twice a day in her eyes. Mickey Sue is a Pekingese and and can have quite the attitude. She's coping but gets mad at mama about those drops! All the big projects are done to our new home (thank goodness), now we need to tighten the ole belt and learn to live on retirement. We do love it here on Florida's Nature Coast!
 
My day was great! I picked up my granddaughter from the airport this morning and spent half the day with her before she took off for her dad's house. It was so great getting to see her looking so good after the hard time she has been having with her pregnancy. She looks so cute......tall, skinny and the sweetest little belly. My great-granddaughter-to-be kicked me several times. I think she wants to come out and play with Meemaw, but we'd like her to stay in there for at least two more months and preferably three.
 
Great hearing everyone's news. :). My day was very good. We did some last minute shopping and had lunch out. It was a sunny, but windy day. Took the baby for a walk (our little dog). I think everything is done. I will bake two pecan pies tomorrow. Easy, Peasy..

Waterlily...I was raised with two Pekingese dogs..and your comments about Mickey Sue made me smile. Pee Wee was the runt of the litter, but he tried so hard...with his little bow-legged strut..to intimidate this gorgeous, huge collie from next door. It never worked ..but Pee Wee thought he was a lion anyway. :)

:lol:
 
I just read all the latest posts. I've been too busy to get on here much today. Our 21 year old grandson has been here for a couple days and just went home (about an hour further up the mt) a couple hours ago. I'm so tired I can't think. I'll be back tomorrow, everyone take care. :)
 
Good morning. Fur, I had an uncle named Ardel. Maybe it's an old-fashioned name from way back...he was born in 1903...his first son was named after him and so was his first son's first son.

Yesterday I caved and baked another four dozen of the cookies that got eaten already. I swear the whole bunch of them across the hall practice sad-looking faces in hopes that I'll feel sorry for them and turn the oven on again:)

Still no Hollydolly. I'm gonna track her down one way or another!
 
Georgia, did you ever track down Hollydolly? Maybe she's real busy, I hope she's OK.

I sat out at the fire pit for an hour or so tonight with the 2 guys. They sit out there with a fire almost every night that we aren't under drought conditions. Just like a couple of hobos. That's why we seldom get to watch TV at night I guess. It makes the dogs and cats happy to sit out there with them though.

No drought here, Linda. We have flood watches and warnings all over the state, some very close to home.

Never did track Holldolly down. I seem to remember that she said she has Christmas Eve off so she's gotta be around here somewhere...
