Daily Ooos: Friday, October 4

[faerywings]

I want to start this morning by saying how grateful I am to be here every day with you. Truly, I mean that from the bottom of my heart. As I was reading yesterday's thread, I saw women supporting women, laughing and holding each other up in the good times and in grief. Excited for each other's successes and helping each other through difficulty. Cheering each other on-- unconditionally.
I treasure that and I wish that more people could experience it.

Before I came here this morning, I made the mistake of looking at my town's FB page, "Open Discussions," which is more like spew whatever vitriol you like and making people mad at each other. Not a great way to start your day but this place-- is just that. ♥

My workplace is a lot like here. So supportive. I took a few minutes before HS began to talk to a coworker who has been at Weis for many years. We worked together on Tuesday and I needed some feedback. I told her what I said here-- I thought I was trying to do too much and was struggling to find that balance. She took the time to go over my plans and reassured me that I was on the right track but if I felt like I was trying to cram stuff in, let it go for another day. It was an epiphany LOL! I had five different things planned and I immediately knocked one off and chose not to do the other. And it worked out so much better for all of us.

The kids *loved* making the applesauce, which was such a huge hit that I have to incorporate it again. Of course, I need to scrub out my instant pot this morning and I tossed one of my wooden spoons into the bag with the painted apples so that got "donated" to the art supply closet.
After I cleaned up, I needed to run some things past one of my bosses-- she was the one who ran the HS program last year. The big topic I needed to talk to her about-- bathroom breaks. For real!
The program is run almost entirely outdoors. We have covered areas and an outdoor heater under the pavilion. It's a 5-minute walk from the main area we stay in to the Main building with the bathrooms. And I have 5 and 6 yos. So ya see the problem... We ended up making three different trips to the bathrooms which cuts into a lot of time and messes up the flow of the day. Lauren and I looked over some of the property closer to the building and I think I am going to use the rain garden as an outdoor classroom setting. I am so excited! I'll have someone bring some of the benches down there and we can clear an area for art stuff. Plus that means I can use it for long-term lessons like in the next session when we learn about ecosystems. I left work feeling less stressed than I had in weeks. I love how supportive and flexible everyone is at Weis.

Today we are doing some field trip prep for Pumpkin Chunkin. I saw the trebuchets yesterday. They are huge! Probably not huge but 8-10 feet tall? Huge to me.
I have an idea for Vicky's challenge that I want to play around with too.

Thank you ll again for being amazing people!

@JeanneMN Do penguins have knees? I'll see if I can figure it out tonight when I wake up at 3 am
I'll never see a Minion again and not think of you.

I didn't know you could make risotto in the IP! We love it but I refuse to stand there stirring it. I'll have to give that a try when we get back home. I'm trying to reduce our meat consumption, but not vegan so cheese is a tasty addition.

I'm not sure when you'll see it but I'm so happy to make risotto in the IP. I made a butternut squash one a few months ago too. With Tom being vegan, I try as best as I can to alter recipes so he can eat them. I made the risotto with cashews as a cheese replacement (I will never ever understand how cashews can be "cheesy", never ) and added grated parm to mine once it was on my plate. I did the same with the coleslaw-- mixed it up with vegan may and then added a little bit of real mayo to my serving.
Hope you are having a wonderful trip!!

Momma said there'd be days like that.........you're welcome!
I hope today is smooth sailing!

LOL!
Much better, thank you!
I was never crazy about stuffed peppers but I've seen vegan takes on them. I wonder if I made them for the family that way if they would enjoy them. I have a cast iron skillet, is that what you used?

Only 2 more days until the Albuquerque International Balloon Festival starts on Saturday. 10 days of hot air balloons filling the skies in the early mornings!!

It feels like yesterday that last year's Balloon Festival began. Time is flying... I hope they come close to your house so you can get some awesome photos.
I'm sorry that DD#1 needs surgery but at least it doesn't have to be done before the holidays.

Yesterday's hike was lovely, no bee stings and no one fell so that is a plus!! The colors are really starting to get vibrant on the trees and the sunshine was warm on our faces, it is a very pretty hike but lots of roots to watch out for so that you don't trip. So we stopped a few times to just take in our surroundings.

It sounds incredible and I'm glad that no one got stung/hurt. May the hiking gods always bless us that way
Good luck car shopping, try not to faint at the sticker prices. What year is your CRV? They tend to run forever. *knocks wood since mine is a 2012 and not a chance for a new car in the future for us*
I hope that you had time to scrap yesterday!

Good Morning. Its much warmer today 35*

Warmer. 35* and she says warmer. it's not warmer, it is "less freezing." hahaha!
It took me a long time to get used to living in the NJ boonies and being 40 minutes away from most decent shopping. I can't imagine being cut off from almost everything, especially Amazon.
Happy birthday to your dad.
I'm raising a pina colada to him.

Thought I'd pop in and say hello. I have been MIA recently, but I'm around and have just been busy.

So glad to see you and I'm happy that you are taking time for yourself. Rest when you can and bring a pillow tied to your butt the next time you need to sit on bleachers for that long!
ITA with Vicky-- love your photos in your siggie and avatar. ♥♥♥

Tracy- You look gorgeous in your photo and I love the pin for your dad.

Our county is setting up help stations but it is still rough for everyone. We have spent 5 hours a day helping and there is still stuff to move out of friends houses. Salt water damage is so horrible and very dangerous if items are not sanitized. The A/C was not safe to run till it was inspected so we were working in heat for days, A/C it is finally to be on and with fans so its a little better. Moving so much stuff is hard for my arthritic back and knees

It sounds utterly heartbreaking. I can't imagine losing everything like that. Enjoy the trip to Pompano, take those deep breaths, and reset your mind. Self-care in these crazy times is critical. Have a safe drive!

Thank you! I don't understand how people can be so thoughtless and mean and it's a refuge for me here. I want everyone to know I appreciate you. I don't think it is said enough (not here, but generally speaking).

Good morning,
Brief visit. We will be leaving for the dentist appt in a few minutes. So I'll be back later today to catch up with you all.
Later Gators!

Glad yesterday was better for you!
No to the iron skillet but you could totally use it to cook the meat mixture and then stuff the peppers and put them back in the skillet to bake in the oven. Just add about 1/2 inch of water to the skillet to help steam the peppers. I cooked mine at 375 for 45 minutes. My peppers were pretty small and still a bit firm but we like them that way. So depending on the size of your peppers and how soft you like them, you may need to adjust the cook time.

Morning ladies... its pouring rain today, but it is much needed! The trouble is at this time of year once those floodgates are open they usually don't close until spring. However the weather has been really crazy these past few years, so who knows it could be a very sunny fall/winter. Another earthquake here on the island, not very big 3.5 I think and no I did not feel a thing. Thats the second one in the past few weeks, hopefully the next one is not the big one!! Today my Gary will be underfoot, especially because it is a rainy day and he won't be outside puttering in the garden, but we will go after breakfast some time to look at a car he has he eyes on. Then I hope to spend the day doing some creative things. I did get a calendar page done and I need to get that posted to the gallery today. 1 down, 11 to go. Just waiting for our DD Heather to facetime with us this morning than I will get some brunch going and get the bed made etc. Just enjoying my second cup of coffee and chatting with all of you for right now.

I fourth that emotion Chris!! you hit the nail on the head!! Very well said! my friend! I am so happy that you have that kind of support at your work place too!! I know when things start to get too stressful in my life I have often thought of leaving the CT here, but how could I?? I love my O family and you all keep me grounded!! I can't imagine my life without all of you here!! Oh and Chris I am so glad that you have found a better location for your classes and the bathroom breaks!! !! BTW my CRV is a 2010 and still running great, so I am not sure why he thinks we need to get a new car, but I won't complain as long as it has a heated steering wheel for my poor fingers!!

I only have a minute right now, but this is so beautifully eloquently stated. I second the (e)motion!!

You are such a busy woman!! Hope you find some time to pop back in here today, but if not, then have a lovely day!!

Good morning,
Brief visit. We will be leaving for the dentist appt in a few minutes. So I'll be back later today to catch up with you all.

Ugh the dentist, I hope that the visit goes well and after awhile crocodile .

Darn my coffee is cold, and its only half full, so I best nuke it and get busy with other things! Have a wonderful day everyone!

I do have some work that needs to be done but no cavities. More along the lines of replacing some of the OLD silver fillings....to the tune of $500+.....AFTER our discount! HOLY MOLY!!!! But, it needs to be done!

Funny story about the "See you later, alligator.....after while, crocodile" saying.
One of our granddaughters at the age of 6 or 7 was visiting (10 years ago now) and attended church with us before heading home with our son and DIL. As she was going out the door I said to her, "See you later, alligator!" She obviously had heard the reply before and knew part of the phrase but said....."after while....pause.....FROG!" And laughed! She was so proud of herself! Everyone standing around the doors of the church laughed about that! To this day when we say "see you later" at church someone comes back with "after while, frog!"

YES YES YES! I agree 1000%. I love coming here. If I am having a bad day I am cheered up here. Like yesterday, I can safely say anything. The support here is out of this world! I love my New O family. Its hard to join a new place but you all were so open and welcoming and the support. And it continues. Its never fake. Its my favorite thing about the O.

I'm raising a pina colada to him.

Thank you! I made Pina coladas last night. They were GROSS I had the coconut cream and thought to chill it so it would all be cold when I blended it. Nope bad idea. Cream separated an then the drink tasted like watered pineapple juice with odd rum. So bland and nasty we all threw them out!!! I got my photos of us toasting him in heaven but oh the drinks were nasty! I am sure he was laughing at us! He would have thought it was the funnies thing ever.

Tracy- You look gorgeous in your photo and I love the pin for your dad.

Just enjoying my second cup of coffee and chatting with all of you for right now.

The best way ever to start the day. Coffee and O.

@BoatLady Debby dont forget to take care of you. Dont need you getting hurt from over doing all the help. Stay safe!

Today is a bit...... yeah not slow. Meeting someone for lunch. First time, slightly scared, she might see just how crazy I am. Then. race home to do laundry and get the dishes done. Tomorrow we get the grands overnight. Should be fun but long weekend. Off to grab that second cup coffee. Have a great day.

I fourth it!!! I would be lost without coming in here and sharing with everyone here! I never feel lonely as long as I have the sharing and caring with all of you.
So glad that they have made a space nearer to the bathrooms for you HS classes, Chris. You are doing a great job... and glad that your work mate reminded you to relax and you decided to eliminate a couple of activities from the lesson plans.

@vickyday so sorry about all the dental work you need.

@taxed4ever Yikes... earthquakes on the island. Hope they don't get any stronger! Rain... wish you could send some our way - we need it... but not until after the Balloon Festival! Weather forecast is looking good - warm with no high winds. Good luck on the car shopping.

Wow... so great bargains in the store today. Snagged one - Pumpkin Time by Mystery Scraps and got it uploaded already! Need to check out a few more... LOL...

Had a really nice visit with DD#3 yesterday. And glad that she took the gluten-free things that DD#1 left here. Nice to have shelf space in the fridge again. Got her to help me hang the patio swing back on the frame. The winds a few nights ago was so strong it tilted 2 patio chairs against the umbrella table and moved the table over several feet and tilted the umbrella over at an angle. Before she arrived, I stripped the bed and turned the mattress 180*. I try to do that every 3-4 months. I manage that by sliding it around on top of the adjustable frame... no lifting and flipping it as it is pillowtop on just one side.

Just got a reminder call about my mammo appointment on Monday. Tuesday is the Brown Bag lunch with the gals. Wed is pick-up the Rx refill at the base and commissary trip. So next week will be a busy one.

Time to get dressed and do a few chores. HAGD

 

[AK_Tracy]

Its October 4. I feel SO behind. No AJ or challenge done yet. Where is the time going???? When will I be free to play??? Maybe next week? WHAT????? Ok, that might be my AJ theme, Embrace the crazy schedule. Off and running for the day. Have a wonderful day and I cant wait to see you all this afternoon. I feel like I have taken up living at the O. All my spare time is spent here and I love every moment.

 

[mimes1]

Home from work, Friday's are a half day. Just read through all this, and it's afternoon coffee time! BRB!

10 days of hot air balloons filling the skies in the early mornings!!

My older sister will be joining my younger sister and her wife crewing for a balloon team. Keep an eye out for their balloon!!

She doesn’t remember flying near where these churches are so that part might be photoshopped, but here’s the balloon my sis crews for. Wave if you see it!

@faerywings @JeanneMN I missed the discussion about if Penguin's have knees, but next time you wake up at 3 am trying to figure it out, you can go back to sleep - because they do!

I will watch to see if I spot the balloon they are crewing for.
Found the church......
Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in North Valley - Albuquerque.
It is about 8 miles to the south of east of my neighborhood.

[vickyday]

Well, today has been busy!
Dentist appt. at 9:30 for both Mark and I. Got home around 11. Both of us need some work done.
We did not eat lunch because Mark was fasting for bloodwork needing to be done at 2:30.
While waiting to leave for his appt. I transferred pictures from CD/DVD to EHD.......what a BORING job! Also worked in the laundry.
After Mark's appt. we went to a late lunch at East Coast Wings. He got wings, I got a chicken Philly sandwich with tots. Ate half and brought the rest home for him to eat later.
After we got home he watched TV after we did our daily devotion and I worked on more pictures and laundry.
Finally finished the laundry around 7:30. Mark finished watching NASCAR and went to the woods.
Now I'm here! Going to take a look at the other challenges for the month and see if the AJ challenge is posted.
Have a great evening!

 

[JeanneMN]

Thank you ll again for being amazing people!

It takes one to know one.

I only have a minute right now, but this is so beautifully eloquently stated. I second the (e)motion!!

By the time I got thru y'alls day, I'm about 6th, 7th, or 8th-ing it. When I'm low just coming in here and reading makes me feel so much better. That, and the artistic inspiration here! I've really seen my growth as a scrapper because I can explore with no worry of judgment or feeling like I need to be a cookie cutter of anyone else.

I'll never see a Minion again and not think of you.

Well, you know, I spit in the sink yesterday to check my DNA, it turns out I'm 99.9% minion. It explains some of my nonsensical babbling.

Thank you! I don't understand how people can be so thoughtless and mean and it's a refuge for me here. I want everyone to know I appreciate you. I don't think it is said enough (not here, but generally speaking).

Once again, my safe zone too. I think people have gotten meaner since the screen was invented and they can hide behind that and be mean and not have to look into the eyes of the people they're hurting. They're cowards.

Funny story about the "See you later, alligator.....after while, crocodile" saying.
One of our granddaughters at the age of 6 or 7 was visiting (10 years ago now) and attended church with us before heading home with our son and DIL. As she was going out the door I said to her, "See you later, alligator!" She obviously had heard the reply before and knew part of the phrase but said....."after while....pause.....FROG!" And laughed! She was so proud of herself! Everyone standing around the doors of the church laughed about that! To this day when we say "see you later" at church someone comes back with "after while, frog!"

That is a hoot, we still say remuse, because darling grandson would "remuse" the TV after we paused it.

Wow... so great bargains in the store today. Snagged one - Pumpkin Time by Mystery Scraps and got it uploaded already! Need to check out a few more... LOL...

I just window shopped, I saw that kit and it's adorable.

That shadowy presence you feel behind you is me Twin. I finally stayed on task enough this morning to get thru e-mail receipts & just need to upload into Quicken tomorrow. I had a CT layout to get uploaded to off-site locations. I did get up & hit the gym at 5 this morning. The new rotation on the weight machines is still kicking my butt, but not so had that I felt I would pass put on the elliptical . I was on an hour and 15 minutes and got started on a new book.

Home from work, Friday's are a half day. Just read through all this, and it's afternoon coffee time! BRB!

almost bedtime for me, my get up & go, got up & went.

My older sister will be joining my younger sister and her wife crewing for a balloon team. Keep an eye out for their balloon!!

That is so incredibly cool!

I missed the discussion about if Penguin's have knees, but next time you wake up at 3 am trying to figure it out, you can go back to sleep - because they do!

If penguins have knees they must be all the way up in their wing pits because they have a rather distinctive walk, like humans who have a broomstick stuck somewhere.

My day has been so overwhelmingly evenful today (sarcasm) and it's going on 8 and all have to regale you with something ridiculous tomorrow.

I'm am so blessed to have you all, IRL people are the last straw on this camel's back.

I knew you would know this
