The Loopy-O
CHEERY O
So-- when I asked for rain, I didn't want it all at once! hahah! We are currently under storm watches and warnings from today until Monday. Inland NJ shouldn't get hit too badly but the shore forecasts look downright nasty. I am glad we made it down last week. If we had plans for this upcoming week, it wouldn't happen.
At least it isn't snow!

I got to drive my new car to work yesterday! And yes! The heated seat was amazing! My old Saturn Vue had heated seats and a remote start, and man oh MAN! I missed that. I freaked my coworker out when he noticed the different car in my usual parking spot. ::D He lived through my rotating car problems over the summer but was relieved when I told him it was all good. The car is still in my dad's name but insurance is in ours-I have to be careful to not to get pulled over until it is switched. No more driving 110 mph for me!
:angrydriver:
JK! I respect the curvy mountain roads with unexpected wildlife running about, especially this time of year.

The field trip was good, I was working with the 4th graders who seemed to have a lot of fun. We ended up rescheduling Sunday's forest bathing and canceled this Fall's HS sessions. We still only had one kid sign up and we would need at least 3 more to make it worthwhile. We scheduled a planning meeting on Tuesday to go over how we want to proceed. IMO, I think we should market more to the Homeschool Pods. We have been getting inquiries for that and it might make more sense to go that route.
I am helping with a Scout Badge this afternoon, this one on Geology. I am honestly really excited since I don't know that much about the rocks and geology of this area. The Weis Badge leader is soooo knowledgeable about this topic, which means I am going to learn a lot from him.

First, I have to go to the FP, drop the food here, grab something to eat, and be at Weis as close to 12 as I can. (all while not driving at top speeds LOL)
I hate getting to the FP before its official start of 10 am but today I have to make an exception.

What exciting plans do you have today?
Make it a great one!
 
I am sending you my Daily O from retirement! Ooo la la! :spinningchair:
:woohoo: Congrats to you, you deserve a life of leisure from here on out. "Leisure"?" What's that? LOL How about a life of traveling the world with your family? That would work! ♥ :airplane2:
However, I did just remember the word layer as I was sitting here typing this
:rotfl: Ya gotta start somewhere! It will come back, it's all muscle memory once you get going.
I'm glad Syd is home and I know the 4 of you will support each other. I hope that you got through the family viewing ...ok...
:hug3:

Yes, it will be easier on everyone if your dad is comfortable with his decision.....not that he won't have a change of heart from time to time, however! He will just need the loving support of his family during those times! Glad he and Scott have a great relationship!
We are at 50* this morning!
100%!
It was 31* when I left for work and made it up to 60 on my way home. I am so glad I put on an extra layer or I would have been miserable.
He already has plans of adding another room "for storage" LOL!
hahaha! That is too funny! The cabin is going to be bigger than your house by the time he is "done(ish)."
Have a wonderful time at ladies' meeting today.
FWIW-- these are my tricks for cooking eggplant - if I want the slices to stay in place, I will peel the eggplant in stripes- it keeps enough of the skin to hold the slices together but not so the skin is too chewy. Does that make sense? I also salt and blot it to get some of the water out.
But the eggplant and rice sounds like a yummy combo!
Grandkids must take a good 10 years off of the way grandparents feel...maybe more like 25!
My sis-IL and I were just commenting about that!
Love you for all of the support. So very, very glad to be back here.
((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) Always, my friend ♥
Morning, all. Oh, I slept so well last night!!!
Ahhhhh! That is the best feeling!
I have some of the Cuddle Duds winterwear and they are much thicker than the PJs I just got. Love the winter-underwear. Won't be long before I will pulling out the long-johns
Me too about the winter layers. I haven't seen the PJs so I won't bother with them.

Gonna use Chris favorite emoji here, :brrr: it was 30° when I got up an hour ago. Have no fear, its warming up :floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh: its now 31°
:eek::eek::eek:
I've turned mine on and smashed the lumbar support into my back and then returned it to normal and drove home. It can be amazing on the over done days. And its amazing on freezing cold days too.
Yes!!!! I was stoked when I adjusted the seat yesterday and found the lumbar support button. That combo is going to be a godsend on the days I am working outside and am cold, tired, and stiff. I might not want to leave the car when I pull in the driveway.
Whew, 27 hours w/o power is long but probably not as long as you normally have it out. I am going to catch up on laundry first thing tomorrow just in case we lose power. Fill up water jugs too so we can flush toilets.
and I am weird (which you will soon learn :giggle4:).
Understatement.

the dogs need me. BRB!
 
Chris with the cold weather coming to you I hope you enjoy it.
You know I will :lovey3:

Spent most of the day prepping the house for my recovery. I made crockpot meat loaf for dinner and froze 1/2 so it will make it easier for hubby since he has to do all the cooking for 3-4 weeks. I talked to granddaughter and she is sick so left work yesterday and took 1/2 day today, lucky her dentist didn't have a super full schedule. I'll check with her tomorrow. Jay is finally feeling better too, he slept 3 days and 3 nights.
Lots of healthy thoughts heading your way.
Yes I am having a hip replacement on Wednesday.
So the surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday... How long do you expect to be in the hospital? I know from my dad's they get you up and walking in no time. Can you take any pain meds or do you have to tough it out?


xoxoxo!

You will soak up today's geological info like a sponge!

Rainy here today and chilly!

Yeah, really, all we would need is another big room for a bedroom, a smaller one for a kitchen and a potty room! Screen in the porch and that could be our living room with one of those smokeless fire pits! :floorlaugh::giggle4::lol23:NOT!

Thanks for the idea on the egg plant. I will try that the next time!
 
Good Morning,
Quick in and out today. Gotta get my shower and get ready to leave for our ladies' Bible study.
I was out and about ALL DAY yesterday!

Took the screws we had gotten the day before back to the place where we got the tin for the cabin roof and traded them in for shorter ones.

Drove 45 minutes back across town to my area to go to Kohl's to spend some birthday money. Got a sweater that was $30 for less than $10 after tax with some "free" Kohl's cash and an extra 40% off! Cha-Ching!

Drove another 30 minutes to the nearest Belk to hit their B1G2 and B1G1 sale. Plus had some "free" cash from them for opening an account. Spent almost $200 and saved almost $400! Cha-Ching!

Then I got a text from Mark wanting me to stop at CVS to pick up some more meds for him. The pharmacy was closed for lunch! Drat! They have weird hours! Walked down to Food Lion to get something to take to the ladies' Bible study today and Mark some vanilla ice cream. Walked back to the pharmacy and still had to wait nearly 10 minutes.

As soon as I got home, Mark got home. We had plans to go with our motorcycle friend and pastor to look at some deck chairs made by some Amish kids. Beautiful! We ordered a couple made out of cedar. Won't be ready for a month or so. Only $220 each! A bargain, in deed! The arms have a hole for a cup holder! Those will go on the porch at the cabin.

We visited with the owner of the "shop" for quite a while. He has an amazing story of God's grace in his life. We were there for a couple of hours! I only had a sweater on and was getting pretty chilly by the time we left there!

Finally! Home at 6 and I could sit down and relax! Mark went to the woods for a bit while it was still light out. I think we were in bed by 10!

Mark is in the woods this morning and going to start laying the tin on the porch roof! I can't wait until it is done!
OK, I need to get off of here and get ready to go. Ruth is picking me up in less than an hour!

Have a wonderful Saturday!
 
Morning, gals! Another good night's sleep but woke up early (6:30 AM). Will be heading back to Kohls this morning. I grabbed the wrong size of PJs... thought I had medium but they were large!!! The PJs have a nice thick ribbed top and heavy fleece pants. Already have a pair in gray and the new ones are pink. Know they will keep me nice and warm. Need to get there early as it is suppose to start raining around noon or sooner.

No balloons launching this morning... the winds are too strong and lots of heavy clouds. And rain off and on today and tomorrow.

@faerywings I saw some Cuddle Duds winter PJs at Kohls that were nice and thick...not thin like the ones at WM. May get a pair of them if they go on sale later on. Yes, I saw that the east coast is under a Nor'easter storm warning. Do be careful if you have to be driving during it. Sounds like the whole east coast will be hit hard with it.

BBL
 
Whoo-whee,,, I am back and glad I went early.... it started raining (lightly) when I got to the store and got heavier on the drive home. Got the PJs exchanged for the right size... dance3 :yesss:dance3

Going to work on some scrapping this morning. Probably read this afternoon. Oh, I forgot to mention that I got my haircut yesterday. I stopped by the shop but the stylist I like had changed her days and I have things going on Tues/Wed on the next two weeks. So I had the gal who cut DD#1's hair when she was here last month cut my hair. The gal did a wonderful job on it... so now I have 2 stylists I am happy with! :yesss::claphands:
 
Good evening, beautiful ladies! Rain hasn't started here in NH yet, but it's on it's way. Today was actually nicer than I expected it to be. The cats, except for the old man (too chilly for him) spent a lot of the day on the catio. I have my grocery list done for morning (for some reason, I completely forgot last week and flew by the seat of my pants through the store). So, at least we'll eat this week.

@LSlycord happy retirement! I am sooooo jealous.

Nothing exciting in my corner. I had the week off which was much needed. Sorry to see it has ended. Had hoped to get some fall cleanup done in the garden but I've been having some shoulder issues I have to look into, so I admit... used it as a fabulous excuse to scrap and be lazy.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. @faerywings Yay for heated seats! We're arguing here at my house about turning the heat on in the house... I say no, but the skinny guy who runs cooler than me might win this one.
