I have the whole day free and need to figure out what to do. I only have laundry and continue to shovel the path to my oil valve. I can do laundry now, but shoveling has to wait until this afternoon when the snow has softened. I want to get outdoors and get physical activity. I will be taking the dog for a long walk later when it is warmer. I also want to get another bird seed brick shaped like a bell. What to do. What to do. Maybe I will just hang here for a bit.

I was spoiled. Growing up, mom made them from scratch. She would let the dough rise Saturday afternoon, then roll them out and marinate them overnight in melted butter and brown sugar overnight. Bake them in the morning. OMG to die for!

DD helped me bring down all my quilting supplies this morning. Guess what I plan on doing. biggrin

SB, your cinnamon rolls sound delicious! I make mine from scratch as well.

IKWTDS, glad your dog did not have an accident last night. I bet that was a big relief for you. smile

Be careful lifting. That is the worst part of moving for me, the lifting.

Good afternoon.

We have gotten so incredibly spoiled not having school for two weeks. But we are in need of the routine. Glad they go back Monday.

The only thing I am doing to today is making the meal J requested last night. He is going to help.

And now, as I type, mom is putting a chicken on to cook. She doesn't want anything else but chicken and dumplins. But just this past weekend she didn't want chicken and dumplins when I was going to make it.

She can be so contrary. Oh well. She can make it. We can have the other tomorrow.

Now I don't know what to do today. I'm going to have to take up knitting again.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Mine are too, NJN. cry Still below freezing here. Nothing is melting yet. The roads are terrible.

I'm going house buggy. I think I will talk Wayne into taking me out to dinner at one of the neighborhood restaurants.

Cold and bored.

I should probably clean something.

But, I'm lazy, too! wink

I am THOROUGHLY chilled!!!!!

Our Masonic Lodge/Eastern Star chapter had a combined rummage sale - advertised at 8-12 - we (the workers) got there at 7 to move the cra . . stuff! from the house to the tables in the yard. 7:05 we had the first of a horde of early-birds! I swear - the next time I help with a yard sale, I'm going to post signs: Early Birds pay a 20% premium!!!!!

Temp was 36 - overcast, dreary, scattered light showers - just enough to make it cold and miserable. And its too early for an adult libation. I think I'll cuddle up with DH in front of the fire.

Growing up we had a wood heater. At some point, dad put a blower on it. It would force the hot air out.

When my feet got cold, I would sit in the floor in front of it and put my feet inside the blower. it was heaven on earth.

Grandma would open the door on her wood heater and prop her feet on the edge of the opening.

She would sit there till her feet were so hot they would burn. A couple times, her house shoes actually caught fire. They got to where they would keep a bucket of water there for her to put her shoes in if the caught fire.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

LOL I don't want my feet on FIRE! But warm would be nice! I'm going to try making another loaf of gluten free bread this afternoon. Wish me luck. I've never had one turn out just right.

My wood burning fire place has a blower on it. It cranks up the temp inside the house by a few degrees. Its heavenly and saves me a lot of $$$$ on heating oil.

Ok I have shoveled a path halfway to the oil valve. I have about another 12 feet to go. I don't have stamina, if I did I would be done with it by now. But I have to do a few more feet today and finish up tomorrow. I am down to about 1/3 tank of oil so need to call Monday for a fill up.

I like natural gas.

Wood heat, belongs outside, around the camp fire.

I wouldn't want to clean up the mess, that a wood fire causes.

This probably belongs on the vent thread but I don't want to hunt it down. There are some people I really want to kill. Honest to god. Not an exaggeration. DH and I used to be friends with this couple. He stays FB friends with them but that's all. I have their 19 year old son on my page. So the 19 year old posted that he is considering suicide. I really want to kill both his parents. When he was 16 his mom started having an affair with a guy at work. Not her first affair by any means. Every time she had an affair the father would just drink it away. Finally she left him for the latest fling. Now let's get this straight, they were both equally to blame for the failure of this marriage. But the mom took off and moved to Idaho. Within months she was pregnant and by the time another year passed she had two kids under the age of one. Her "new" family. He never gets to see his mom and then he has to share her with this jealous new husband and a bunch of babies. Mom tells him the failing marriage was all her exes fault and bad mouths the ex constantly. Dad does the same and continues to drink. The poor kid is a mess. These "adults" have messed him up big time.

And SHE and her b/f are big into S&M. 50 shades of grey is tame for them. At one point he installed chains on their bedroom walls. The son hated going over there because he could hear the chains. I had to stop hanging out with them because she liked for him to bruise her. I couldn't stomach it. She bought her 19 year old son tickets to 50 shades of grey. Really?

The whole situation is so sick and twisted and disgusting in so many ways. That stupid father needs to sober up and be a father. And the mother needs to admit how she screwed up instead of saying the ex FORCED her to cheat. I get so sick of hearing that. You did it because you wanted to do it. Just say it. The poor kid is in the middle.
