Alberto Tomba Golden Collar of Sports Merit - Army Gold Cross of Merit (born 19 December 1966) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer from Italy. He was the dominant technical skier (slalom and giant slalom) in the late 1980s and 1990s. At 182 cm and 90 kg, his powerful build was a contrast to the lighter, more traditional technical skiers who prioritised agility over muscle. Tomba was able to take advantage of the introduction of spring-loaded ski gates which replaced the older, solid gates in the early 1980s by using his power to maintain a faster, more direct line through courses. Tomba won three Olympic gold medals, two World Championships, and nine World Cup season titles: four in slalom, four in giant slalom, and one overall title. He was popularly called Tomba la Bomba ("Tomba the Bomb").

Winter Olympic Games
1988: gold in giant slalom, gold in slalom at Calgary, Alberta, Canada (Nakiska).
1992: gold in giant slalom, silver in slalom at Albertville, France (Val d'Isère).
1994: silver in slalom at Lillehammer, Norway (Hafjell).

Good morning Trissie and thank you for another educational start!

To answer everyone's question from yesterday, yes Magnolia is a warm cream colour with a hint of peach. Quite classic (some would say boring!), but I think it looks fresh and clean, and it also wears well (better than white in IMHO).

This is just a quick CI, as I need to get going early today. Matilda has her well was check at 2.45pm , and I would like to get the housework done by lunchtime if possible, which means starting it early!

Good Morning!
Thanks for the start trissie - I recalled Tomba's name but not who he was... Thanks for the reminder:)
Kittykatt - another busy day for you - hope all goes well at the appointments.

Woke up after 4 hours sleep- tried (too?) hard to go back to sleep - did not work. I'm up.
Took pup out already.
It is dark and cold out. We have another Cold Warning. -23C with windchill.

Thinking of Gma - has anyone heard if she arrived at destination?

Starting with the usual:
meds/supplements
Counter PUPAS
D2S

Feed pup
cup of tea?
Main floor PUPAs

[helia]

I hope Matilda's well-check goes well, Kitty. Magnolia sounds attractive. Is this the color of the outside of your house? Most of our walls are a yellowy white, maybe Corinthian white. I don't care for pure white either.
Sorry about the lack of sleep, kitkat. Maybe you can get a nap today? That's cold. Stay warm! I don't think we've heard from Gma, but I'm not sure. I don't know if she will post while on vacation.
Thank you for another athletic start, trissie. "Tomba" is ringing some memory cells deep inside my brain. Sounds like he was an amazing skier!

It's not quite light yet, but a junco and a titmouse are at the bird feeder having breakfast.

Today: I'm up early-ish for me. I set my alarm thinking I'd make the drive to the WW meeting. I think it will help me lose some of this extra weight. It is still dark-ish and only 3*F, so the idea of staying home for a couple hours is also inviting, especially since the map app says it's a 40 minute drive one way -- for a 30 minute meeting. 10:15, I have the KS2J get together at S2's house. Tonight, we're hosting dinner. So far, I believe there are 6 of us, but dd30 is inviting friends, and I haven't heard how many are coming. Dh is making salmon - but forgot to tell me that, so we had salmon from the freezer for dinner last night too. I guess we'll eat a lot of salmon this week.

Tuesday Goals:
1. Maybe - WW meeting (in town a 40 minute drive away - is it worth it?)
2. 10:15 KS2J get together
3. WF- groceries - after I get the menu for tonight
4. Kroger order?
5. Wrap gift for AA (won't take long but I don't want to forget)
6. payroll: finish BRE draft
7. payroll: start next exam draft
8. tidy living areas
9. s/s main bathroom
10. Can I get clean sheets on the bed?
11. Progress on NY cards
12. Writing - even 20 minutes
13. Host dinner for 6+ people: Salmon, rice, roasted veggie TBD, bread; maybe simple dessert?
14. Garbage and Recycling to the curb
15. Can I get in some exercise??

Next:
- back exercises
- s2s and self care
- otd by 8:20 if I go to WW meeting

TaDas!

Good morning!

Thanks for the start, trissie, and all of the information I wouldn’t be aware of otherwise. I’ve never really been into the Olympics but I do try to watch at least some of the games.

Helia, hope you like salmon! Your employer sounds thoughtful and wise to keep the business going no matter what comes their way.

Now I’ve read salmon and slalom so much they are all merging together lol.

Kittykatt, hope the appointment goes well. Magnolia sounds like a lovely color and one you aren’t likely to get tired of looking at. We have brick so are stuck with a red color on the outside with light grays and browns inside. It’s funny how colors I like aren’t what I ended up with but the inside is very neutral so I can decorate all seasons without worrying about if Christmas or Easter decor will match so it all works out.

Kitkat, you’re up early. Hope you can stay inside with those temps.

I woke at 6 and now I’m up (ish) and piddling around. Bbl.

Tuesday:
Dailies
Wfd - red beans and rice
Pet chores
Pets
Closets - deal with clothing pile in mine, declutter others
Outside - pick greens
3rd bedroom - cut out carpet by door and reset trim, put batteries in remote
Living room - take down tree?, pack up ornaments, repot plants? find blackout blinds or curtains
Bedrooms - declutter, wash linens
Bathrooms - dc one drawer
Office - declutter
Dining - hang corkboard? probably not as it’s within cats reach so find new home for it
Mom’s - take books, water plants and toss any dead
Call J and ask if she can notarize something this week
Schedule Polaris pu and tuneup
Donations - decide what can go and load up
Auction - list board games?
Paper -
Self care - wash hair and try out new hair dryer, face mask
Read book club book
Read for pleasure

[L.Ann]

I admit it's been a while since I last heard of Tomba la Bomba, but I think I did follow Albertville and Lillehammer games!
Home from work. Once again, turned off the mobile data on my company phone after leaving work so any emails etc will not reach me till tomorrow. While I was at a (very long) meeting, the local (Czech) political scene exploded because of one man's ego being about ten times bigger than his brain. I mean, come on, really? It's so not cool! But I will not let that worry me either!

kittykatt, so how did it go today?
kitkat, hoping you'll be able to take at least a power nap today!
helia, I'd never drive 40 minutes for a 30 minute meeting! Salmon is nice, I saw it being on sale this week, so I may get it when I go shopping.
Bama, and now I picture you doing a slalom while carrying a nice big chunk of salmon!
L.Ann, I could definitely eat salmon twice a week!

[L.Ann]

Cleaning the car is going to take longer than I hoped. I still have half to do. There is a two inch ice/compressed snow layer on top of everything so it needs to be chopped and then moved. When you walk on it you don’t sink in at all even if you stomp.
