Twenty-one days to shop, shop shop

Moon I guess that's why saying it with a redneck accent didn't work at all HAHAHA

I know Moon,this weather thing down our way is getting crazy isnt it? Went out to feed Poo's and my little knobby knees were knocking together. I heard it's supposed to freeze here tonight. Smiley,see if Lynnie will let you borrow some of her fuzzy socks,and I'll send ya some long undies! Burrrrrrrr..Getting cold thinking about it.

Lynnie, you missed a syllable...it is PO-UN-SET-UH...Southern women speak in multi-syllabic words...my DH is JI-UM, Dave would be DAY-UV...get the picture...lol

in Boston we drop syllables....get words out quicka that way.

Here yall,have a bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jam. Would any one like some coffee with their bagel? I'll pour. All of this talk of chocolate has made me hungry,had to hit the kitchen for a couple of minutes...Grin It's a good thing I try to get out and have my walks. If I didn't I'd look like a member of the Clump family. Grin...

Speaking of accents,we went to Minn. a few years back,we were eating in a little resturant. And the people next to our table asked me if I was from Australia.....Go figure! Lynnie,I love to hear a Boston accent.

Cooked a ham yesterday, we could have hamaneggs (is that Bostonian?) with our bagels...

Where did yall go/ I'm just rattling on and no ones there.....Happens to me all the time with husband....old familiar feeling..Grin

That is Mini-sodah Dixie. That is probably why they thought you were from another counrty...(listen to too much Garrison Keillor) grin

That's family for ya Dixie...grin we are getting so comfortable together we start treating each other like family....grin

Moon! Pass that hamm and eggs around girl! Sounds yummy,just let go of the bagel half way to the old mouth! Grin...

LOL Moon, Guess Lynnie went to scrape worms of of her drive way for the Poo's.

Guess I had better get up and do something girls. I'll see all a little later.....Hugs,and more hugs ,I'll catch up in a while. Have a good morning all.

I threw my gym clothes on, gotta keep that mental image up ;)
my kids try to imitate what's left of my Boston accent all the time....I think I hahdly have one, but people notice it.
mirror is merra...accent on first syllable.

ok off to the gym....JJ we're going to the gym!

Sure thing Dixie...you and me both...if we are getting snow, I really need to go...have a good morning.

Maybe you could cardio for us all today Lynnie....Nahhh, you would be the size of a pretzel stick if ya did that...grin take care, see ya later

OK lynnie I'm ready

I could make a New Years resolution to help... Lynnie.

I will take all the clothes off the treadmill.

Next year (2011) I will use it.....at least once

To unreasonable...maybe I should start smaller??? I/2 the clothes

LOL JJ. Please be careful...moving that clothing can be way strenuous!!! Remember, lift with your legs, not your back....grin

If I could wear the size Lynnie does they wouldn't be so darn heavy!!!

Getting busy now. Have to finish that reindeer!!
Turning on the music.....while you guys are listening to Bach......Jim and I are rockin to the

morning everybody, although I think you're all gone!

Hi everyone,hope you're all having a good day so far.Already 3.45 here so not far off dark.Been a lovely crisp ,clear winter's day though,about 41 f.
Jim,we also say bless him/her .here,in the same context as you meant it re your wife's cooking of the tomato pie,thanks for explaining to me :}
The story of you prefering to use a good quality cologne made me smile.My Dad,who's 81,and sadly as i've mentioned previously,housebound with Parkinson's Disease,also lovesgeorgeous smelling cologne ,soap eveything like that.Twice a day he has carers come to my parents home to help him and they all say how wonderfull he always smells :}I wonder ,if he were to use cheap horrible smelling stuff,if they'd comment on that!! I doubt it :}
Everyone's baby pictures were soooo sweet.Dunno where mine are,I'll have to ask my Mum,I certainly don't have them.
Dave,what kind of a dog is Pepe,we have a breed here in UK,called a Yorkshire Terrier,and your lovely dog looks like a larger version of one.
Beautiful sunrise too and yes,you too,were a sweet baby.
Glad it's Friday,can sleep a bit later tomorrow morning,had very early start this morning as it was my turn to open up shop where I work,at 6 for the newspapers being delivered from the printers.Work Mon,Wed and Fri,but don't always have to start at 6,luckily.
Hope talk again in a while
Joy

Hi,Trina,I've just been and was nearly gone then saw your line..
How are are you,did you find homes for all your new plants,I read about them when I was catching up on bits i missed last night.I love it when i've new plants to find space for :}
Joy

I did an extra 15 minutes of cardio, you guys can split it up....I ran into a friend & stayed on the xtrainer so we could chat. Now I'll be hungry for a week. Where did all the hamandeggs go, did you guys finish them?

Hello Joy! I guess you didn't have time for your swim today. Would you like some spare cardio?

EEK! I'm OUT OF COFFEE!

Lynnie,NO NOT OUT OF COFFEE,that's terrible,hope you've not far to go to a shop where you can buy it :}
I didn't swim today ,it's true but I've been on the go ,on my feet for most of the time since I've been up ,so someone else can have any spare cardio you've got.
Swimming makes you feel hungry too :},and also when the weather's cold,any activity outdoors is the same,I think.
I'm just going to do a few things around the house,load washing machine's one of them ,nothing too strenuous,and I'll hopefully be back later.
Have a good afternoon,it's totally dark here now 4.30.
Joy

Hi Joy,
Dr did give GS some medicine for broncitis. Although I still believe it wouldn't flare up if his dad and step mom would stop smoking in the house and pick up a dust rag once in a while. Oh..... better not get started.

Hope you are having a good day.

I am trying to clean the bathroom shower but..room so small the fumes get terrible.

Had to come out to breathe.
So thought I would be smart and took it all apart. Now the shower doors are in the kitchen and water all over the floor :)

Have to leave for work in a bit so they will have to stay there unless some gypsy drops over and finishes.
Husband loves it when I take things apart!! Oh well needs new wallpaperi BR anyway.

No flowers .....the reindeer is not done, its almost done like the shower and they are both in the kitchen.

Promise they will get done sometime today or early morning....LOL

Good thing Lynnie gave me extra energy!!

I always have home for plants...it's all the seeds I have that are becoming an issue! getting my piggy swap seeds, and my unusual seed swap seeds ready to mail out!

Lunchtime! A nice healthy turkey sandwich here. Well, ok, it's really a turkey club. With kettle chips. And ho-ho's.

So sue me.

Lynnie, yes! dark chocolate is the only way to go. I am torn between almond joys and mounds bars. If they could only put that little nut in the mounds bar...

Here is a link to ethel m's chocolate shop. worth every penny. Last time my friend went to LV she took a tour. Girl after my own heart.

http://www.ethelschocolate.com/

Smiley i have a recipe for almond joy bars, if I can find it.
You could use dark chocolate and wholla, mounds with the nut

JJ!

Holy Schmolley!! Chocolate again!! Yall are killing me!! Gonna have to run not walk,all over the county...Grin .. JJ's hope GS feels better soon. That is pretty bad stuff. I know what you mean about the dust and cigg. smoke that will certainly aggravate his bronchial tubes. Smiley,that turkey club sounds good....trying to focus on some thing besides chocolate. Grin.....Hi Trina,we are going to have to get you some sort of seed snorkel.....going to be buried in them before too long..Grin..Joy,have fun doing the laundry. I know I all ways do...Grin

My brain hurts!

Hi JJ,Good thing you took GS to Dr,as broncitis doesn't clear on it's own,glad he gave him medicine.I certainly agree that 2 people smoking in the house wont be helping him at all,nor will not doing any dusting,which seems rather strange,but not for me to comment on :}
I also dislike cleaning the shower in our bathroom for a very similar reason.Our shower's in a small cubicle with clear doors,which get soap stuck to them and need cleaning regularly,I hate being shut in the cubicle with the cleaning fluid fumes,as you say,you can't breath.DH's the one here who removes the doors,then cleaning them takes him ages,taking doors off ,then having to put them back,I'm usually worried that one time he'll not be able to get them back on :}
Smiley,I looked at the Ethel'schocolate link you gave.We have some places like that over here for up-market chocolate makers.That one looks very good :}
Just been putting Christmas lights up in back garden,it's a cool clear starry night
7.22,thing I'm ready for something to eat.
Talk later
Joy

Yes,Dixie,before I go eat,I've soooo enjoyed getting my laundry through the wash,it's these exciting things that just make life worth while...Lol
Back later hopefully.

Hi All....yes chocolate, No smoking in the house....yes DIL needs to address the dusting, Yes laundry is the light of my existence....grin.


Trying to get orchids situated in greenhouse...snow flurries tonight...why do I insist on tropicals????

The ham went into a sandwich for lunch...Love to all, Back outside....temperature is dropping and hands are getting clumsy from cold...arthritis is not my friend...LOL

Love to all....Moon

I'll store some orchids for ya Moon....LOL

the website doesn't do the candy justice.

My doctor was all filled up so I went to the Immediate Care Clinic. I have had a sore throat for 5 days now. I couldn't sleep because of coughing all night even though I took cough syrup, losenges, and gargled. This morning I felt like a mack truck ran over me. So I am now on a anitbiotic, AM and PM cough syrup, AM and PM pills for sinus/runny nose/etc., plus Ibuprofen, I'll gargle with warm salt water, and if I can't stop coughing I have honey. Got some of those nice Puffs with lotion for my sore nose too.

Time for honey because I can't stop coughing!!! I am filled with germs! Good thing all of you aren't here!

Later!

JJ, how many reindeer are we going to have? Is there a rudolph???

Oh yes, I don't drink any more but did some when I was younger.

That's what I have, Venice. Doctor hasn't called me back (haven't been in a while ~ shame on me). Time to find a new doctor, I guess.
