How are you today?

Had a lovely day yesterday with 4 year old GS, then afternoon-evening saw DD and her crew. Today we're taking the 22 month old for the day. It's a school holiday in the US (Martin Luther King Day), so DDIL and the kids are off, but DS is not.

DDIL stumbled, fell, and wrenched her knee at work on Thursday, so we're taking some of the pressure off by watching one of their littles each day. Two small children is a lot with a painful knee. It's all good though. We enjoy having them and have nothing more pressing to manage.

I look forward to doing little more today than pulling together a little lunch, dispensing cookies, and sitting on the floor with a toddler while playing with toy cars, truck and trains, and building with magnet tiles (LOVE them!), Lincoln logs (saved from our kids' childhoods), train tracks and Hot Wheels tracks.

Should be a fun day ahead. Bonus: this GS still takes naps!

Hope all have a great Monday, January 19th!

Sounds like you have a really nice day ahead. 🤗
 

I'm going upstairs to make spaghetti and cupcakes (again ;) ) for my guys in a bit.

I need to work on my Lupercalia card for boyfriend since he's in England and the mail can be a bit slow. If it gets their early it can be a "don't open until Lupercalia" type thing.

Husband's can wait a bit as can regular Valentines for friends, though I'd like to get them finished as well. I don't want something nice to become a stress thing. Holidays should be fun and I'm determined the keep them there inasmuch as I can. ❤️

This went a little deeper than I'd expected. 😅

I think I'm going to try this one. I am admittedly art-impaired, but I think I can manage this if I follow the steps carefully. I hope. I can always try an easier one if this one doesn't -well, if I'm too lame to pull this off. Ima try it.
 
@Medusa If you don't mind, I'm gonna skip that whole Lupercalia thing...you know, loin cloths or running nekkid, getting hit with goat hide strips to promote good luck and fertility and all that. It's just not me. Okay?

Fair enough! LOL This is my first year celebrating Lupercalia. My understanding of it's more modern interpretation is that it's meant for more "lusty" attachments. At least that's the way I'm choosing to look at it.

I'm still celebrating Valentines with family and friends.

PS: I'm not sure about the sacrifices... Maybe we'll just break up a cookie. ;) 😅

I'm awake and lurked earlier...as usual thought that once I read stuff, I'd posted, too. Duh.

It's 23F here this morning. It's too cold to even get dressed. I'm moving in with @StarSong. Not to worry. I'm skinny and not too tall so won't take up much room. Maggiecat is coming along. She's not skinny.

So far there's no plan for today. Don't know if I should volunteer to make dinner or not. I don't have any original ideas for dinner. Maybe meatloaf, Kraft mac & cheese, broccoli...not gourmet but filling. Should I or shouldn't I?

At this point in life, I'd have to start eating snails to come up with a "original" dinner idea :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

@Jules ~ it's just hair, it will grow back! 🤗

@hawkdon Good to see you seem to be doing better, even if you can't remember your passwords - I can't either, don't feel too bad!

Still extra warm here where I live ~ baked a peach pie and had to actually turn the AC on !!! It's snowing over in Florida, but we get a heat wave! ☀️⛱️

Glad everyone seems to be hanging in there or better! Happy Monday for those of us that didn't have to go to work today. ;)

I’m not too concerned. I do this chopping thing in the middle of every haircut and those happen every 5 or 6 weeks. It just seemed shorter when I woke up today.
