Those are some good ones, Mel. I especially like United Steak of America. Had an afternoon full of inept contractors to deal with. I hope to never use that one particular company again. They're plumbers, and not our usual guys. Of course, our usual guys have days that leave me shaking my head also. After work, I filled up the Focus for $1.34/gallon. Also ran next door to Wal-Mart and picked up a few groceries and some odds 'n ends. I found a rope toy for Nikki. She's so excited to have it. She wants Milo to play with the rope with her, but he acts like he doesn't know what to do with it. I told her it's ok if she brings it to bed with her. Hope you each and all have had a great day!

Good morning! It is a crisp 25 degrees here this morning. Edit to add: Since the Sun came up, the temperature has dropped even lower. Looks like we are in for a really cold day!

I ran a few quick errands this morning to the bank and the pharmacy. Now I plan to stay indoors for the rest of the day.

Luv those teachers! Lockout went fast. Those tenants have been out for days. They left the house a mess throughout, and it smells pretty bad in there. I drove past another house where the tenants aren't responding. Car in the driveway may not be running. The place looks locked up tight. Can't be sure, but it may be empty too. It's cold this morning, even if it's reportedly 50 degrees. Thursday is my favorite day of the week. Hope y'all have a great day - and stay warm!

Yeh, that dog with the sprinkles would be Nikki! Edward texted a cute picture of Milo, Nikki, & Leela asleep on the doggy futon at lunchtime. Nikki was curled up tight between the other two - if she were any bigger, she wouldn't fit. I've been trying to turn some rent reports into .pdfs & save them to the desktop, but they're showing up as .media docs. I was finally so tangled up that I had to shut down. I'm just going to print them out & scan them in.

I am back on my AT&T email account - after 3 weeks (a solid 21 days!) of being shut out Yes, I am working to delete whole collections of saved messages with appropriate attachments that I've been 'fascinated with' over the past 15 years. I've been paying bills that I could not get to (yes, I'm also setting up appropriate other ways to get onto those accounts, besides simply through email) - that's a relief! There are still some military retirement issues, insurance issues, and the link to a company that sent a bid with a couple of variations to choose from for having some work done to the house out in the mountains that I haven't waded my way down to yet. I am so thankful to have restored access. Hard to believe tomorrow is already Friday - and we're halfway through December! Hanukkah ends at sundown tomorrow evening. We really haven't done anything for the Feast of Dedication this year, except remember our Israeli brothers and sisters and consider the stress and danger spread throughout their country. We finally had our jelly donuts this evening. I was surprised that it was as tough to find a couple of jelly donuts as it has been this year. And what do they have to do with Hanukkah? According to the Atlanta Jewish Times, Works for me!

Good morning! It is 35 degrees here this morning with a wind chill of 28, but it is expected to warm up into the mid 50s by this afternoon. Barb, I'm glad to hear that you got your email problem sorted out. You also have me craving donuts, although I prefer the creme filled over the jelly filled. I'm not sure if I had ever heard of the connection between jelly donuts and Hanukkah before. I might just have to check out Dunkin Donuts this morning to see if they have any of their Bavarian Creme filled donuts this morning. Praying for all needs today. Hope that you all have a great day!

I decided against the donuts since my blood sugar was a bit on the high side this morning. Instead, I got a sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito from Burger King.

Barb, I'm glad to hear that you got your email problem sorted out. You also have me craving donuts, although I prefer the creme filled over the jelly filled. Thanks, Mel! I'm determined to not only catch up on what I'm behind on, but to also delete all the old I really don't need, and print off any that I need for records-keeping & tax purposes. I'm convinced: email is not a good storage location. The jelly filled donuts had raspberry jelly in them & they were good - I heated mine for about 20 seconds in the microwave & that was just right. I prefer the maple longjohns, when it comes to filled donuts. I also like a good bear claw now & then, but otherwise, rarely eat donuts - they're far too sweet for me. We had a lot of rain overnight, but it looks like it's all through with our area for the rest of the day. Nikki has discovered she can jump into the mud from the side of the old pool. She's been wet, muddy mess all morning! But she is one happy hound dog! She's got this "who knew there was fun like this in the world?!?" attitude going on. Milo's down in the pool, but he's taller, so only muddy up to his belly. Two two of them are playing chase games. Edward's expecting them to settle down and take a nap when I leave for the office. Hope everyone has a great Friday!

It occurs to me that I haven't seen any Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes (or any of the other Holiday themed Little Debbie cakes) in any of our local stores this year.
