That is wonderful,
LadyM, for your dbro! Joining blessed in prayers that tomorrow's chemo goes well!
We are back from the singing (which lasted approx 2 hours, and which dh expected to be more like a regular church service of 1 hour, and which dgs announced that he did not expect to go to church TWICE today.
) DGS was very antsy and silly throughout and when I asked him why he thought he even WANTED to come with us, ds said, "Because he wanted to ride around with you two, LOL." * sigh * I can't imagine what my life was like before he was born... can't believe I ever worried about how it was going to be, being a Nana.
-- also back from Wmart -- where we luckily checked out JUST BEFORE the last register closed and it all became self-check. That was WONDERFUL luck, b/c we bought about $185 worth -- getting all the Thanksgiving stuff I'll have to do this week, plus normal groceries.
Used that Bluebird card -- the Wmart savings catcher thing -- and had $67 on it! So that was like getting $67 free groceries. You can scan the receipt on an app, but I just type it in when I get home each week, and it certainly doesn't require $67 worth of labor. (This is what I have accumulated since last January.) Plus when I entered tonight's receipt, I saw that I had almost $2 left that I had not transferred over to the Bluebird card since last Sunday.
This is really a neat program Wmart has offered.
I have never used Botega (sp?) but ddil swears by it as well. It's another savings app that she uses, but it requires scanning each grocery item. That seems to time-consuming to me, but she says it's worth it.
Sorry you've had such messy weather,
Nancy. Here it was a beautiful day, but it was certainly getting cold by tonight. I was in the backseat of the Tahoe, and my feet were freezing all night!
Cathy, ddil has me set up on their N etflix account, but I haven't watched anything yet except a few things dgs wanted to watch one night.
I'd like to watch The Crown -- isn't that the one about Queen Elizabeth?
The disadvantage here is that we only have one "smart" tv & one DVR -- in the bedroom -- and it seems we both want it at the same times.
We definitely need to add at least a DVR to the den tv.
Always cheers me to see that the next day has arrived successfully for
Lynlee!
I guess it's like, "Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday, and all is well." Sorry your car isn't quite well,
Lyn, and I hope you are feeling better as the week goes on.
I have not been doing my exercises lately either -- walking or anything else. Maybe we should make a pact. I'll try to meet my walking goals and you try to meet your yoga goals.
* sheesh * Goals??? I gained THREE POUNDS from Friday morning till Sunday morning. Doesn't look like I'm headed in the right direction at all.
Waving to
Norma and
AustinGranny! I could use a big dose of "getenerdone" too!
Cheering you on with the new computer,
Harmony!!! You can do it!!! (I don't envy you though -- I certainly know how anxious I get when we have to go through the computer adjustment process. I'm scared to look and see how old ours is. -- * lucy is looking at what she thought was receipt taped to side of computer. Nope... that is just the specs, says it's Windows 7, etc. * Oh well.)
Kathryn, I'm so glad W&R were welcomed at both churches.
I have absolutely zero intention of following my 15-minute schedule all through the week, but I do like that it gives me an idea of what I have time to do.....and therefore what I do NOT have time to do.
I like the way you put that,
LadyM. 'zero intention of following my 15-minute schedule all through the week.'
It is a good idea though! I should do that. Especially for Thurs & Fri when time is going to be sooo tight around here.
We are NOT going to travel the 1.5-2 hrs with ds/family Thursday for dgd's MRI. DDIL's parents will be here and will go with them, and ds & ddil agree that we would be more useful in letting dgs spend the night Wednesday and getting him to and from school Thursday. That certainly makes it easier for me to do the chicken and dressing. I'll do all the prep work Thursday, and then we will eat it Friday night.
Waving to
EVERYONE else!!! I hate it when I miss a bunch of you like this, but these ballgame weekends just knock me out. I haven't even done my Sunday
afternoon chores.
