What's on your agenda for today?

Off to work. Again. I work harder now than I did before I retired from cube farming in the corporate world. It's far more satisfying but a whole lot less lucrative:)
 

kicking around the house this morning a little reading a Woody Allen movie to watch from nextlix and than this afternoon transform into Hardware-man
 

Just the usual stuff, getting my brain in gear, doing my morning routine so I don't scare my maid to death. Having an iced coffee drink, reading the newspaper and doing laundry. A really exciting day. I need to put up my suction cup window feeders. I have the screens off so I can open the windows and fill them without wading snow. with those feeders I can see the birds 3ft away while sitting in my recliner. The birds will be looking for food today. Woodpeckers eat there, one knocked on my window when the feeder was empty. I heard they would do that but didn't believe it until I heard it myself.
 
Planned on going to the hospital to keep my brother company. His wife is showing some improvement but I still don`t like him sitting there alone. However,it`s a three hour drive and now they are saying it`s going to rain again today. I just don`t know if I want to drive the mountain roads and then deal with the "big city" traffic in the rain. Four short years ago,I did that commute every week and never thought twice about it-no matter what the weather. But now I`ve become a ninny lol.
 
I think it's best to stay home. It would just add a burden on everyone if you had a problem on the trip.
 
Gym at 7. Took the laundry over to be done. Went with hubby first to a temple we had yet to visit, then to the mall. I had an iced latte, he had a mocha. Bought a few things at Tesco. Staying inside midday as the sun is back and is strong. Swim late afternoon before going to dinner.

Lazy day reading and uploading photos. Noticed I am now over 9,000 on flickr.

I love retirement.
 
another morning of kicking around the house. Wife is wrapping Christmas gifts....later tonight my second shift for this week at the hardware....
 
Hope your husband is okay, Lee, or at least on the mend.

I forgot to post again this morning! It was more of the same: work! And just in case I forget to post Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday next week, working those days, too:)

Right now I've got the first batch of caramel corn in the oven. Going to make one more batch, then bake more spritz.
 
Hubby on the mend, he had artery surgery 10 days ago and they did another ultrasound to make sure....it was OK

Caramel Corn, I love it but only tried to make it once years ago and had to throw out the pan which was rock hard. What's the secret Georgia?

Not much on my agenda today other than to finish decorating and maybe bake a few cookies.
 
Lee, as soon as I have a few minutes, I'll post the recipe.

Right now I have to eat breakfast and throw on my duds so I can get down to visit DS for a couple of hours, then back to meet with a neighbor about cleaning for him.

Yucky, rainy day here so far. We're promised sunshine this afternoon.
 
Shopping at Jewel and Costco today to get ready for Christmas Eve.. Wrapping presents tonight... with carols playing and a few glasses of wine..

Had a nice time yesterday at Christkindle Market in downtown Chicago.. Ate wienerschitzel, and potato pancakes and Strudel.. I sort of went wild on the hand blown Glass ornaments.. but they are so beautiful.. and the German sweets!!! Chocolate Santas.. and Pfeffernuse cookies from Nurnberg Germany! My grandma always made pfeffernuss.. such memories!.. Anyway, the only bad part was the parking... Holy Cow.. has that gone up! We haven't been downtown in a few years.. but we drove. (stupid.. I know.) We parked in a self park multilevel garage.. two hours $37.00!!!! Crazy!
 
We will stay in today; it's cold, rainy, and kind of drab looking outside! Will organize my yarn because I have so much and I need to know how much of one color I actually have. Then I will make us tacos, hot chocolate, and look at a recipe I have for cinnamon buns. I've been trying to get in the bake mood. Maybe reading the recipe and looking at the pretty pictures of these will encourage me!
 
Quicksilver, that market sounds heavenly. I love potato pancakes, hope to make some over the holidays.

Staying away from crowded shops and malls today - searching for inspiration looking over recipes online, prepping and gathering ingredients for cookies, xmas dinner, etc., making to do list, a little cleaning, R & R. and eating chocolate!
 
I'm DONE DONE DONE!! With all my Christmas shopping... Both presents and food for Christmas eve! NOW.. wrapping everything up..... and a glass of wine... or two...... or..

Hubby and I will be alone on Christmas Day... so I bought two glorious Ribeye steaks and some lobster tails.. Maybe we will take in a movie and then come home to feast!
