In September my British friend sent a large envelope with all the cards to her SIL, who then mails them out. They haven’t arrived yet.

I can't imagine anyone being able to watch Netflix without a giant tub of ice cream and a bowl of pop corn - it's just not possible :LOL: ;)

Ya, my snacks vary. Sometimes it'll be ramen (chili flavor), sometimes I'll have seedless grapes and cheese squares. Just whatever's there. I keep the weight down by fasting on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'll eat on Tuesday and Thursday. I take the weekend off and eat regularly. So, a pint a couple of times a week shouldn't be too much because my calorie intake still isn't that much.

As a child I remember mom putting the fancier ones on the fireplace mantle. The next on the organ. Then window them draped on walls.

Her last Christmas, she got 3 cards.

Otherwise, went to library, printed out return shipping label. And then came back to park.

My dad did a similar thing, he watched his diet from Monday to Friday and then relaxed at weekends. To be effective, I think you have to find a healthy balance which works for you.

Don't know where you are in the World Christopher but, I am in the UK and have recently discovered a dairy free ice cream called Swedish Glace which is said to contain less calories than dairy ice cream. Frozen yogurts are good for a change too but, my favourite is lemon sorbet which has less calories than ice cream but more sugar.

My mum kept all her cards and every Christmas she put them up on card strings on the walls. People were always amazed at how popular we were :)

@CinnamonSugar Nippy where you are, too? It's a balmy 42 up here but with the sun setting soon temp will drop a whole bunch. Gonna be 29 when I go to work in the morning. According to the weathernerds, it's gonna be a dreadfully cold Christmas weekend...like 15 cold!

Yikes, @Georgiagranny, it wasn't too bad here today (like 60-63--good thing, it allowed granddaughter to spend time playing outside), bright and sunny. But, yeah, supposed to be cooler over the next few days.
 
~Took care of financial business: Updated brokerage beneficiaries online then added the new designations to my iDrive (online document storage) and updated some information there.
~My son and I kept our appointment at my primary bank to add him as co-owner on my checking and saving accounts. What started as a business meeting turned into a laugh fest. But in the midst Bryan, our banker, did give me some sad news when I asked when the banker, who was always such and big help to my husband and me, was returning from sick leave. Found out she was on leave when I requested her while inquiring about making the appointment. He told me that she won’t be back..she’s really sick and it’s bad. She’s such a nice young woman and thinking of her probably suffering made me sad.

On the lighter side, my son and I are quite the comedy team and we had Bryan cracking up. He joined in on the jokes and fun but still managed to be professional, courteous and efficient. He is a handsome young man too…blond hair, blue eyes, an easy smile and such a nice personality. I love it when I meet nice young people.

After we finished business, the subject turned to music when I told him to check out my website. Even though he’s a staunch 70’s Hip Hop fan (he and my son fist bumped on that one), he was very fascinated by my creative process when answering his questions about the genres and how I produced the music. Of course I gave my son his props since he engineered and mastered my album and latest singles. Bryan was also surprised to find out that my son had been deejaying since 1981. He said he wasn’t even born yet!
I think the meeting brightened up the day for all three of us.

~I’ve been catching up on my favorite shows. Last week I finished the last episodes that aired of The Rookie and The Rookie Feds. Today I’m continuing with Criminal Minds season 14.

Sleep well everyone. :):sleep:

Today, I was looking forward to 3:00 pm to try out my new shower.
As some of you know, I had a bathroom remodel & it's almost complete. Yesterday, the glass door guy came & installed the shower doors (Tub to Shower conversion & new tile, walls & ceiling).
He said to wait 24 hours before using the shower - sealant has to dry. That was at 3:00 pm yesterday.
At 3:00 pm today, I took a 30-minute shower - tried out the seat, did my feet, tested for leaks by throwing water everywhere. No leaks.

But it didn't start out very well. I forgot to make sure the lever on the shower valve was set on "Shower Faucet" instead of "Hand Held Shower."
The hand held shower was pointed at the open door - and me. So when I turned the water on, I got a blast of ice-cold water & the bathroom got wet. Of course, I was about to take a shower, so I wasn't wearing much. :oops: After swearing up a storm, I dried the bathroom, put the hand held shower back in the wall bracket, pointed at the front wall & took a HOT, heavenly shower. 😂

That makes all the difference. It is fine and dandy to say we love it but I don't have the every winter experience of driving in it, shoveling snow or hiring someone to do the job. That being said, I do enjoy any snow we get, it is to far and in between not to enjoy it. If I do see the weather that we may have possible snow, sleet or ice, I am the first one out there to get what I might need at the store.

If you live in the areas that might have snowstorms or bitter temperatures I think you are prepared at all times for what mother nature might bring. I know I would be! Or like my husband always said, "the beer is ice cold right outside" LOL

Today on the agenda is to vacuum and also make 4 herb tea. After that, I don't really have any plans except my normal household chores. It is 28 degrees presently so hot coffee is warming me up. Rabbit is patiently waiting for me to get his morning banana.
[/QUO

Have not been to bed yet but headed that way.
Did vacuum yesterday and have been running the carpet cleaner in my bedroom, looks better but need another go round. When you have 3 dogs in the house it is non stop. All 3 are house trained but there are sometimes when mom does not wake up soon enough. Not their fault but mine!!

I have to run mine almost daily too. Not so much for rabbit fur but for the hay he scatters around. Of course, I must take part of the blame due to hay falling out of my hands when distributing it. Or when my walker wheels go through it and scatter it. It is on going.....
