Well, sure!

That sounds fair, to me! smile

(Now granted, I don't do SS, so maybe my opinion shouldn't count. wink )

This is going to be Zoo Sunday, for us.

Company picnic, at the zoo! Yee haw!

(I'm still trying to figure this one out. I should probably just ask Wayne. biggrin )

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

DN's company did their picnic at the zoo.

Okay, so first the b/f called to ask us out to dinner. We were all like um, this is unusual. But of course we said yes. DH and I were talking and we were saying how weird it is. Weird in a good way kind of thing. Well now DN FB'ed me with a picture of an engagement ring. She said, "Just teasing the b/f..." but in the top corner of the picture it says the picture came off his cell phone. I commented that it was really pretty and she said, "maybe one day".

Very interesting!

Yes yes yes. DH and I are trying NOT to comment. You know. In case we're not suppose to be thinking anything.

Yes, if you will still be able to make your mortgage payment (or rent).

And if it happens to be an automobile, you could pick one up for me too. (Just kidding, I still have my company car.) smile

So my injured hand is better, but still hurts a bit. Amazing there is no bruise.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

This week is perioperative nurses week. When it was our week they bought donuts for everyone and pizza another day. I was thinking about making a basket of tea bags and k cups. Some bottles of creamer for the fridge and some honey. We always have that powdered creamer and other sweeteners in house. Good idea?

*ETA..Other techs are doing other things during the week so donuts and pizza are already covered.

You might still have a bruise deeper inside, which might be why it still hurts.

I'm glad you're recovering.

Morning!

I always thought that was how you won the game, NJN. Free shipping.

SB, that sounds good. Another idea is good snacks. A fruit tray or one of those edible arrangements. Those things are amazing.

Glad your hand is better, IKWTDS.

Make something good, Gaga.

Going to be a relaxing Sunday here. Gonna watch the rest of season 4 of Once Upon a Time I think.

May make some apple bread.

I'm slowly testing recipes for the holidays.

Have a great day everyone!

I know right!? I got a ton of stuff. I had a wonderful plan to buy my SS a main gift and then some little things to go around it. All themed like. But it didn't quite work out that way. So I went to plan B. I am fairly sure my SS will be pretty happy. I also bought a few Christmas gifts for the family and some moose pillows and a moose throw!

SB that sounds like a good idea with the coffee and tea. I'd go for it. I hate the powdered creamer but like the liquid.

IKWTDS, it sounds like your thumb is better. DS slammed his thumb in the car door when he was about five and we literally had to call the fireman out to open it. His thumb jammed the car door shut. I was terrified that his thumb was going to be mangled. After the fireman pried his thumb out and we took him to the ER, amazingly enough he hadn't broken a bone. That sucker didn't even bruise. He went on with life like nothing had happened!

LGS, I'd join you for dinner but I'm already committed!

We're going to a buffet at 5:30. I'll know more then! I will report back as necessary!

At this time yesterday it was 76 degrees.

Today, it is 50.

I think the delicious weather we have been enjoying is over.

Ya'll remember my talking about my young cousin who plays ball all the time?

Well, she is singing with Bryan college with a full ride.

She and her parents have worked really hard for this.

So proud of her.

DH just agreed to the Christmas vacation. Unfortunately, we are priced out of where I really wanted us to go. Researching other locations.

Went to work for a few hours. Then stopped at the store to get munchies to watch the Colts. The game is finally on, the Steelers game ran long, so I've missed almost the whole first quarter. I'm a little annoyed, we are up a touchdown, and I didn't get to see it. Boo. Another reason to dispise the Steelers

Yeah, me too. I think maybe a skiing trip. Close by.

BTW in case you all missed it, the Pats won again. Yeah I know, boring and so predictable.

Pretty Boy needs to throw it to Gronk more. The Corginators would appreciate it.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Well I made all 20 lbs of mashed potatoes. We will see what the leftover situation is later. I made a ridiculous amount of pork for pulled pork. I bought an electric roasting pan and had it cooking in there and then put it on warm to hold the temp. It's probably around 20 lbs of pulled pork. I have it all set out and ready. The game starts in 20 minutes and then after I will race back here while the girls shower and hopefully I will have it all out and ready when they arrive.

Been cooking literally all day. I have laundry up to the ceiling and the dog is desperate for a walk but it's ok. It will all get done somehow.

I don't plan to go to Cuba during my father's lifetime. He fought too hard in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I want warm weather. We were think of the Virgin Islands to celebrate my graduation and our 15th Anniversary early (we got married there). Airfare would totally wipe out our budget leaving us no place to stay.

Then I started looking at the Florida Keys. Better pricing. Started thinking of other places including New Orleans and California.

I think we are going to get the best bang for our buck in Las Vegas.

We are looking at 12/25 or 26 thru 1/2.

So I talked with my sister today. Dad's wife has changed the game plan and wants us to execute the surprise on the ship. She wants to wait till dinner for us to pop up. Dinner is at 8. The ship sets sail at 4. So we have to hide for over 4 hours since we will be on board a while before it even leaves. We all think it's a really bad idea to spring this on our dad at the dinner table. He doesn't like to make a spectacle of himself. This is way too public. So, would it be totally evil to try to find him on the boat and just walk up and stand next to him?

DH said the same thing the first time we went since he is not a gambler. But there is so much to do there. We were there for a week and only went to the casino's three days with one of those days being just to walk around and see everything.

We like the shows, we took a place to the Grand Canyon. Drove around the mountains out there.

This time, I want to go to the machine gun range, ride ATVs up in the mountains, go to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead and see more shows.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I want to see the Hoover dam!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

And some shows! And I want to see Elvis!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

There is a very good Elvis impersonater that fairly well known around here. He would come to the facility mom worked at a couple times a year. (His grandparents had been residents there until their deaths)

He really did sound like him singing.
