CHEERY O
Good thing that I am so darn flexible, cuz yesterday was another one of those days LOL Thankfully, it all worked out fine and I think that I have everything under control. Maybe. Just a bit...

My neighbor has been sick, so he asked if I could clean today instead of yesterday. No worries, i can do that. I was able to finish my IL's gifts. They are no where near what I wanted to do, but it is the thought that counts. They know our situation. I bought squat glass vases (after breaking them in the store ha!!!), and white stones that I painted Autumn-y colors. I filled the vases halfway, and put a tealight inside them. They can use them or re-purpose them, if they wish. It is what it is, and it was made with love and that it what counts.

Made the freaking cauliflower tart and Gary and I were the only ones that ate it. Scott didn't like it and Cait was too full after eating her baked potato. This is the recipe that takes hours to make, and I could have just given everyone a baked potato instead and they would have been just as happy and my feet would have hurt from standing in the kitchen *grumbles*

we also got a notice that the kids' LLMD is retiring. he has been part of our lives since 2008. It is going to be really hard to say good bye to him and his nurse, whom I adore. We will switch to Gary and my LLMD, which is closer, by an hour. And hopefully they won't need to see her...*fingers crossed really tight*

Very cool Lyme news too, which you might have seen if you see me on FB. Some of you might remember waaaay back that Scott and I participated in some Lyme panel discussions to help people in the medical field understand the complexities of the disease. The documentary is finished and is being screened at the NJ Film festival. Such a huge thing! It has been getting a lot of local press, and the Global Lyme Alliance also shared on FB, so the word is getting out. I can't wait to see it. I have to make sure that we can get tickets too.

So that is it from me- cleaning a bit here, and then neighbor and prepping some stuff for the party tomorrow, have a super day!

If you want to see the trailer, here is the link:

And if you click the link and look at bottom, (tiny print!!) you will see Appearances By: and Scott and my names are listed. Woot! I will give autographs to anyone who wants one. Think of how thrilled the people who cash my checks at my heating company will be! :whoo:
 
Trudy- the gardens sound beautiful!!!! What a special day for your MIL. How nice to see her so relaxed and content to be with the flowers. I saw a FB meme this morning about how you should spend money on experiences, not things. This is a prime example. :) I am looking forward to seeing those pictures, but they will be stunning.

Staring and stopping LOs is never good for me, esp since I so easily forget what i wanted to *do* with the darn thing. Glad I am not the only one.
I had a bit of a heart attack this morning, Windows did an Update (ugh!!!!!) so last night I did the Update/Restart. When I woke up, the update black screen still had the spinny icon. I did a Hard shut down, and it happened again.
Did another hard shut down-- trying to not totally panic, OMG all of my scrap things/photos
th

I hit F12, did a diagnostic scan, and it reset it to a previous Windows *whatever it was called* and thankfully it came back up. I may never sut my computer down again.

Nancy- yesterday J was upstairs, and didn't want to come down, She is still tentative on the stairs. Gary tried to coax her down with a cookie, nothing,. Got out the bucket of liver (ickkkkkkk) and she made it down. So happy that Luther is doing so well with the treats. jaida has been much betetr with Come when I make sure she is close enough to me and doesn't get the treat until I touch her collar. Thanks, Rae for the tips!!!
Glad you got to see some good hockey too., sounds like a perfect day.

Rae- and to think I am queasy about having to touch liver. I can't imagine having to check anal glands. Although I have to clean Kibs' butt often, bui I don't do it as often as I should. She is so round that her tiny head can't reach her but and she has long-ish fur. I have to use a comb to get rid of the fur that poop/litter is stuck to and then wipe her butt.

hey Trudy- are we making you relieved that you don't have a pet to deal with yet? :D

Wonderful news for Bailey! You are making such a huge impact on her for sure. It is nice to have a "mom" who is not your mom. Cait loved that book and I am sure she will want to see the movie too. let me know what Bailey thinks of it.

kat- i am hoping that Wet Noodle Status is getting better too.

xoxo
 
Morning everyone. It's Friday, the sun is shining, it's payday and the office is quiet ... *sigh* Niiiice. So much to do, and while I don't really LIKE coming in here at 6:30 am, it does mean I can knock out quite a few things before the calls and chatter starts.

Um, hope the computer is ONLY doing updates, Chris ... I'd be lost without mine, and I've already lost too many photos from EHD crashes. That reminds me, I should probably push through a backup tonight.
 
Morning ladies... raining here this morning, but that's ok we really could use a good rain. Not such nice weather for the Royals Visit this weekend, perhaps the sun will make an appearance for them sometime while they are here. Victoria will be a great place to stay away from on Saturday, it will be a madhouse with everyone trying to see the Prince and his family. I would love to be there, but I know hubby won't do those big crowds and the traffic would be insane! I am getting my hair cut and coloured this morning, so I should be able to enjoy the afternoon all to myself and get some scrapping time in! I keep saying that, but something always comes up and I end up not be able to accomplish anything :mmph:

Chris - Well now I can say that I know someone famous!! That trailer looks interesting and I can't wait to see you on the big screen!! It's about time that lyme disease got the attention that it deserves!! Yikes on the computer scare this morning!! I am sure that you can turn of automatic updates for windows in your settings somewhere! All this talk about poop clean up with your fur babies does make me glad that I no longer have any pets (that's not true, I miss my Mr. Abu!!) I had to clean him up once in awhile also yuck!! I do miss his company, but not his hair and not his litterbox!!

Kat - TGIF hopefully your day continues to go smoothly with out too many interruptions and office drama!!

Nancy - It's so nice to hear you enjoying your hockey so much!! DH is loving it also! Hoping to get to my pictures today and get something scrapped about the trip. Hope you and Luther have another wonderful walk today!

Rae - It's a date!! If you ever come over to visit the gardens I will meet you and we can happily take pics all day and you can give me a few tips on taking a good picture! Be prepared to battle the crowds though, OMG it is one very busy place! Lots of history at the gardens, its hard to believe that it was once just a rock quarry for a cement company. Mrs. Butchart was a busy lady!! Hope Taz does not have to go back to the Vet for a while now, enjoy your day and hopefully the rain will let up a bit for your walk!

Ok I need to Skype Heather and Mason and then get ready to go to the Hair Salon. Have a great friday everyone. Oh ya I started my morning by jumping out of bed and stepping right on a great big spider!!! EWWWWWW!!! :spider: :wave:
 
good morning! I had the worst nightmares last night. I usually have happy dreams but this was me being stabbed from behind. Freaky! Then lots of wondering around in dreams once I got back to sleep. Today is beautiful and I have had Luther out and we had a lovely walk. Tonight we are going to Medieval Times. The boys love going and I am taking my plastic silverware as I hate eating with my hands. Watched team USA lose all 3 hockey games. It is just amazing how they could not come together as a team when a lot of them have played together before. It seems they forgot how to play hockey for these 3 games. At least my Devils players did not make any glaring mistakes so that is good!

Chris glad you got your gifts finished and I am sure they are lovely and the ILs with love them. Sorry that no one but you and Gary ate your dinner! Wow that is scary about your computer. Glad it is now working.

Kat I remember going in to work early and I loved the quiet - it was so much easier to get things done.

Trudy I cannot figure out how my team was so bad. Maybe your MG has answers! I will still be watching to see if Canada can win all the games!

Rae it is amazing to realize just the lengths we will go to for our dogs! They give us such love and ask so little.

Have a great day all!
 
Good morning, ladies. I'm off to a bit of a late start today. I am nearing the end of my book and I just can't put it down. I have to finish it today, it'll drive me crazy. I read for 1.5 hrs this morning, after feeding the dogs, and finally have put it down so I can say good morning to you all, get showered and dressed and get some work done. I think at lunch time I will take another hour and finish it :) No walking Ava today which is nice b/c of the heavy rain we're having today. But I do need to get Beckham out a few times but they will be short walks around the neighborhood. Work should be busy but not crazy and then yay....the weekend. We'll be staying home this wkend. if the weather clears for Sunday, I have an outdoor family session to shoot on Sunday and want to get some chores done around the house.

Chris - that sucks about all the time spent in the kitchen and then only you and Gary eating it. I enjoyed the pork loin recipe so will come back later and share the marinade for it. It was more flavorful the second day when I cooked the second half of the pork loin but was a bit tougher. I think the sweet spot for marinating is about 6-8 hours. I think I read somewhere that over-marinating isn't good. I will check the link later. You must be so excited for the release! Don't let the stardom go your head :)

Trudy - I've never been to a medieval restaurant but my daughter and her family have and they had so much fun. I'm with you, I'd rather use a fork than my hands too.

Trudy - I will try to make a date to come over next spring for the wkend. I have never been to the island. Crazy isn't it? I've been all over North America yet have never been to the island LOL.

Kat - such an early morning but hopefully that means you finish up sooner and get home.

I need to get on with my day now. I'll be out soon with my raincoat and boots on and the dogs will happily run around the river path, not caring that they will get soaked and come back with wet doggy fur; in fact, they prefer the rain I think b/c they can run and jump thru the puddles LOL.

So have a wonderful day, everyone.
