Daily Ooo's: Tuesday, December 13

[faerywings]

Make it stop! I need time to slow down and I need my house to clean itself. Actually, I need my house to give me my s*** back! In the last 48 hours, I lost, or it stole, my glasses and at least 2 Christmas presents. (For anyone new here, my house is known to steal things, sometimes returns them, but sometimes not.
Is that too much for a girl to ask, just for a little sanity? :faint:

Yesterday was just one more day of head-spinny fun. I started looking at the photos my neighbor gave me to print and I need more frames. I decided to go the Thrift Store after lunch- and then forgot. I started to wrap a few presents. I realized that I have next to nothing for my kids. That is when I realized at least two gifts are missing. One was a few little coffee packs to go with Brendan's mug, Ok I can see how I could misplace them. But the other is an 8x8 wooden print with a saying on it for Arlene. That is pretty hard to lose. It has to be somewhere with my darn glasses that I was wearing on Sunday, took them off, and now have no idea where they could be. C'mon House, I don't have time for this!

I killed time in the afternoon deleting blurry photos, files that I don't need etc before I started dinner. I go from living on leftovers or noodles with butter and cheese to frying up chicken cutlets and 5 lbs of homemade mashed potates. It was really good, but now I have a ton of dishes that need to be done. I asked Gary to do them but he didn't. Maybe he will while I am at ShopRite. :rofl:

Today I get to go food shopping and hit the liquor for the wine that I need to go with the wine holder for the baskets. Then I have to get to the thrift store for those frames.

Not looking forward to any of that!

Have a super day, and if you want to yell at my house for me too, I would appreciate it!

xoxo!

Nancy- I have been really enjoying seeing your LOs of Luther, my goodness, he is a *gorgeous* dog. That really stinks about your Devils getting into a funk so quickly. It is almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. They better snap out of it or you will give them hell! :yell:
How was your dinner? Sounds so festive!
Woot about the trip to Ottawa! haha about worrying about your "kids" behaving, that cracks me up!

Rae- that is so cool that you ran into Beckham, and how sweet and adorable that he didn't want to leave you. That has to make his owner feel really good when he has to leave him with you.
How did Darrell do at work? Hope he didn't push himself on his feet too much.
Good luck with the weather melting all of the snow.

To everyone who stops in, sending hugs and coffee/tea/hot chocolate/Dr Pepper!

Good morning, ladies. I think the snow is finally done. Everything is frozen this week but it looks like sunshine so hopefully some of it will melt mid day and they keep salting the roads. Our road looks like an ice rink. I have the driveway shoveled out but there are some huge chunks of ice frozen at the top of the driveway where the plow truck came through and pushed it off the road onto the driveway. We have a heavy small shovel so I will tackle at least some of that today. I will be careful though b/c my lower back is achy and stiff so I know not to strain it too much. Darrell made it through work ok and can walk on the foot but it is still swollen, black/blue and sore. The swelling has gone down a bit so that is good, it is slowly getting better. He's only got a few more days of work and then is off for awhile. I'm trying to figure out Xmas Eve and Xmas Day dinner. I'm feeling like a rebel and am thinking about changing things up. I've always done a big buffet for Xmas Eve and myself or Jen make a turkey the next day. I am thinking about making a big turkey dinner for Xmas Eve and having leftovers for Xmas Day or possibly doing something other than a turkey, maybe a ham. I don't know. I have to think about it.

I'll call the computer guy today b/c I haven't heard anything and don't know if my computer has been ordered or not yet. It'll be disappointing if Bailey doesn't get her computer for Xmas but it'll be ok b/c she'll still get lots of other gifts.Hopefully I'll get some answers later.

Chris - you too? missing glasses? I go through that all the time. I have a few pairs of reading glasses b/c I tend to leave them all over the place and can't find them. Same thing with missing gifts. I am famous for that. In fact, I came across some clothes in a bag in a drawer last week and realized they were gifts for my GS that I forgot about for his birthday this last summer. I put gifts in places that I figure I'll remember....and then I don't LOL.

Trudy, Nancy, NancyP and everyone else....have a great day! I think my work day is going to be busy so I'm off to get started at it.

Chris, Have you watch British TV series "Humans" about a 'Synth' - a highly-developed robotic servant?! I think one of them is what you described that you need .
