Happy birthday,
FelineFriend!!!
Sounds like you've been having a fun celebration the last few days, so I hope this just carries over into a good year for you! * And hope all the virus-bugs go far, far away!!!
Just a quick cuop but it looks like warmer weather and better health is slowly seeping into at least a few areas of our village. (((HUGS))) to those still fighting the crud!
I think we're over it, still a little lingering coughs and sniffles, but nothing unusual really. Using vaporizer in the bedroom at night may be helping -- I actually started using it b/c w/the cold weather, we were both getting a little dry, itchy skin, and dh was beginning to complain that he "shocked" himself everytime he touched anything, LOL.
However, this has been another somewhat wasted day for me... no two-stepping, I'm afraid I have to admit.
* DH and I both got haircuts.
* I bought a wedding gift for a former student, spent a LONG while talking to antique store lady.
* Went to jewelry store to get pearl necklace re-strung.
(It's one of those "tin cup" necklaces, so named for the movie YEARS ago where some actress wore it. It's the kind where the pearls are staggered about an inch or so apart, so the string shows quite obviously, and since I wear mine A LOT, the string gets kinda grungy looking after a while. I've probably had this one re-strung a couple of times. (It's an OLD movie.) As I told the jewelry store lady, I don't know if anybody else still wears theirs, but I love it, and I wear it a lot.)
* Returned library book
* Came home, ate a bunch of junk, started to read and/or take a nap... nap won...
* Several phone calls w/ds -- he was meeting his contractor friend at dmil's house and couldn't find the key.
I told him to call dbil. He did, found out dbil was in court... I told him to call dbil's cell phone; he might check it before he went back to the office. Apparently he answered immediately, b/c ds called back to tell us that the key was in dbil's car -- he said he just kept it b/c it was too cold to return it to the hiding place the last time he was at the house. * shaking my head * After all was done, ds called back to say, "I don't know how cold it was when it was too cold for him to go out there, but it was snowing when I put the key back." 
But this all went well; contractor friend thought the basement mildew could be controlled/eliminated, and he did not think ds/ddil were too extravagant in any of their hopes and plans for renovations.
* Went to Taco Bell for my supper; dh is eating Healthy Choice meals in preparation for labwork and doctor's visit next week.
-- After Auburn completes what looks to be a losing battle to Florida (tv game dh is watching), I think we are going to see the movie,
American Sniper.
So... it looks like a full day, but I don't feel I've accomplished ANYTHING.
Re: snow here -- it's more of a cold rain. We did have some pretty flakes earlier, but I think it's all fizzled out now.
Ditto
Twins' comment:
(In the south light snow is an occasion for excitement as well as a mad rush to the grocery stores...
When I drove by the school, I thought how glad I was I was not having to answer all the questions -- "Are we getting out early? Did you know it is snowing, Mrs. Lucylee? Was it snowing at your house this morning? Are we getting out early? etc etc etc"
And (((HUGS))) for
Twins, b/c the concerns you are dealing w/for your dmom and your dsis are not pleasant, even if things are handled smoothly.
Apparently you cannot get a refinance until the weight of the associated paperwork exceeds that of the loan officers.
That made me LOL, but I'm sorry you're having to deal with all this, (((
Elizabeth))).
Hope
LO isn't coming down with the flu virus! Beautician said her dd ran a high fever for six full days, but tested negative for two strains of flu, strep throat, and something else I can't remember.
OH -- re: my complaint w/the movie theater the other day -- guess what? They sent an email and said they are sending my free passes to use at my leisure.
And -- did any of you see my question re: the inspirational/complimentary? pebbles for dmom? I'll try to find that and repost... just wondering what y'all think about it, since dbro seemed to think it was such a dud of an idea.
I contacted our realtor and she is going to get the owner information updated. 
I printed it and noticed chat suggesting writing out the barcode numerals. Some had had the problem that the code was hard to scan. Sure enough we had that problem but by offering the numerals, the register was satisfied. The cashier even commented that it was unusual to have a coupon that worked for name-brand garment lines at their store. I wish every shopping decision could be that positive.
Also -- I have a question.
