We plan on screwing off a lot (nature, nurture and the apple not falling far from the tree), including some deep sea fishing. We will probably also visit the start of the PCT; sort of a shrine to me and will give me a visual image of that trail from which to draw inspiration for a future hike.” 10:23:10 AM 11/30/09 “Ah, memories. Good old Ensenada. Tecate, too.” 7:33:01 AM 12/01/09 “HA! I beat Divinity out of bed today! That big old moon is shining in my window and woke me up. Now I cant go back to sleep.” 1:27:24 AM 12/02/09 “Heavy curtains are great for blocking out the moon. Lots of wind and rain here today, and kind of cold. No pressure washing today, alas. Maybe tomorrow.” 5:33:38 AM 12/02/09 “Its early here. But most of you should be at work already.” 5:40:27 AM 12/02/09 “Hi.” 10:55:47 AM 12/02/09 “This is a great morning for coffee in my Mt. Whitney mug.” 7:36:32 AM 12/06/09 “Damn apostrophies... Hello!!!...I*ve been busy....but lurking!!! Holiday Hugs!!!” 7:36:44 PM 12/07/09 “Morning everyone. Don-t know if I can call it a good one though. I just want to get through the day, and be half way productive.” 4:41:13 AM 12/08/09 “Good morning everyone.” 4:43:16 AM 12/08/09 “Good morning one person.” 4:52:04 AM 12/08/09 “Good morning.” 6:30:38 AM 12/08/09 “Tree, taken on its own..if you even produce ONE thing...that is completely productive. (LOL)” 6:32:17 AM 12/08/09 “So far so good, actually. Got some things completely taken care of, other things almost done. Loud music helps. DaftPunk, up high.” 7:20:57 AM 12/08/09 “Tree...are ya overwhelmed??? I sure am...trying to get everything finished before I fly to Ohio.....I have 4 more gifts out of 25 to buy.....not bad I guess....will not buy for my kids until our Christmas on the 27th....I did Christmas Cards tonight and mail them and my TT ornament tomorrow!!...I also bought a new suitcase today!!!...so I can take warm clothes and not freeze!..I hope it snows while i am there :)” 8:03:58 PM 12/08/09 “Wow, what a night. 10pm temp of 64 degrees. We_re not supposed to have tornados in December. Lots of storms across N Central AL last night. Most of it went north of me, but the wind howled all night. The weather man reported a reading of a 115 knot wind speed about 20 miles north of me.” 4:05:54 AM 12/09/09 “The bad weather passed south of us. I was a little surprised when the weather service issued a warning for severe thunderstorms. I think Tupelo probably got the worst of it.” 4:10:06 AM 12/09/09 “We got some snow, but not enough. Now were on to rain. =( Now I have to drive MIL to the airport in the slop.” 4:46:46 AM 12/09/09 “We got a full blown tornado warning. The sirens here are really loud because of the chemical munitions demolition at the Anniston Army Depot. I can_t believe the baby didn_t wake up when that thing went off about midnight.” 5:07:52 AM 12/09/09 “We had a nice thunderstorm early this morning, and McDowell creek (headwater is right below our house) was up. Down at MCIlwaine road bridge (1/4 mile away) the water was up 2 feet. There`s 4 deer kind of stuck in the mud and standing water below our house, too. Wishful thinking...We are supposed to have high winds this afternoon, but they have already started; the clouds are almost all cleared out now and the breeze is chilly. It`s about 37 outisde right now. Somehow it`s supposed to get up to 65 today. Divinity, I had a medical issue come up a little while ago, and although it`s almost gone now, it has killed my desire to be cheerful, finish putting up decorations, and any desire for the Christmas party happening here at my house this weekend. It`s for the koi club, and I just don`t care. The party was supposed to be at someone else`s house, but they have some stalled construction projects going on around their yard. Mud and big holes everywhere. Fortunately there`s supposed to be sleet and freezing rain about party time, so that should keep the crowd to a minimum. Whether it keep the blowhards in the club quiet is another thing. :P” 5:12:42 AM 12/09/09 “Right now, at 0845am in Central OH, we have brilliant sunshine, light wispy clouds, and high sustained winds. We're supposed to expect wind gusts of up to 60mph today.” 5:50:36 AM 12/09/09 “Storms rolled through at 5:30ish...I knew because I had four dogs of assorted sizes trying to vie for spots next to me.” 6:18:40 AM 12/09/09 “Good morning, lots of nasty weather here too. High winds, snow, sleet and freezing rain. Glad I canceled my appointment for some tests and did not have to drive in this.” 6:29:14 AM 12/09/09 “Its been below freezxing every morning for the past 3-4 days here, which is kinda unusual. Makes for a chilly bike ride to work in the a.m. The glory is the Sierra are getting pounded and are supposedly again starting tomorrow and that mean LOADS O SNOW! Whoo hoo. Got a buddy who scored a couple of these http://www.wildernessengineering.com/KinderShuttle.html on Craigs and is going to let me borrow one over the XMAS weekend when we plan to do up and do a snowshoe. I am sure the babe will love it! Stay warm! Stay dry! Stay healthy, all!” 7:34:52 AM 12/09/09 “Morning!!!...I posted earlier...but forgot and used apostrop****.....sorry.... hugs....” 12:28:21 PM 12/09/09 “Aaaaauuhw...papercut! It huuurtz!” 4:10:58 AM 12/10/09 “Yesterday morning it wa 47 at 6 AM. This morning it is 25. Hopefully the sun will come out soon.” 5:01:47 AM 12/10/09 “It`s about 40 here, but will be in the mid 20`s this time tomorrow morning. Chilly, Chili? Sorry, couldn`t resist. One of the cats is having major GI issues, right before the party this weekend. Fun. HPM tossed and turned all night, which kept me awake. I`d really like to go back to bed right now, but that isn`t happening. Coffee had no effect on me.” 5:17:19 AM 12/10/09 “Morning! Baby has dropped and I can BREATH again. It is rather nice. Colder than a witch s tit here @18° w/ a stiff wind. The dog does her business in record time. I am off to A2 for thrift store shopping and lunch. Later!” 6:44:27 AM 12/10/09 “yay sass! your near the end now!” 5:51:52 PM 12/10/09 “The End Is Near. Repent.” 6:25:20 PM 12/10/09 “Sassss...that is awesome!!!....praying & thinking of you & your family daily!!!! almost packed.....it is hard to pack for cold weather when you are from the south!!!!...I got a bigger suitcase and it still isn't big enough!!!...considered mailing some of my clothes ahead....but if they get lost, I would be nekkid!!! ...hugs and y*all have a GREAT day/eve” 8:49:34 PM 12/10/09 “test” 9:15:49 PM 12/10/09 “Don't want to get up...Don't want to go get more bloodwork done, go to the grocery and wally world, clean the house, re-clean the front room's carpet, all that crud. I do want to get cooking on all the good food I'm making for tomorrow though. I just don't want the party it's associated with.” 4:43:32 AM 12/11/09 “nothing special goin' on with me today. I'm just grateful we didn't get blown away by the storm as predicted. Thoughts and prayers to all of you out there who were more greatly impacted by the weather in the last 48 hrs....” 5:05:15 AM 12/11/09 “It's -2° w/ the windchill here. I have enough wood for the rest of the day so as soon as I finish the coffee it"s time to haul firewood. I will warm myself twice. ;) Saves me a trip to the YMCA to workout. Then I think I will either loll on the couch, iron, or make cranberry white chocolate cookies to go in the freezer for Christmas goodie plates. And then there is Brownies at 4, sigh. Anyone want to take over Brownies for me? We"re making slime today for a science badge.” 6:02:15 AM 12/11/09 “Good Morning!!!....I have tried and tried to figure out how to make my suitcase lighter, and not freeze in Ohio!!!... ...Sass...sounds wonderful...!!! ..Tree...It will be a wonderful party!!!” 8:42:51 AM 12/11/09 “Divinity you can always go shopping once you get there. ;) Have a fabulous trip and enjoy being w/ your family!” 10:10:13 AM 12/11/09 “Sass, those cookies sound awesome!” 1:06:02 PM 12/11/09 “They are. Many TTers have marveled at the cranberry white chocolate cookie. It's a recipe I got off the back of a Marzetti's dried fruit bag years ago.” 8:23:10 PM 12/11/09 “Sounds yummy! i cant believe i just woke up! went to bed about eleven and woke up about 4 by daughter and son in law getting ready to go to a graduation @ tuskaloosa and i went back to sleep about 5 sheesh the morning is gone!” 8:52:38 AM 12/12/09 “Have to go get my car inspected, then re-registered today. Ugh. It's about 38 and very very foggy here, with about .1 mile visibility. Should make for a fun commute for everyone around here. :P” 5:20:44 AM 12/14/09 “HA! I beat Divinity out of bed today! That big old moon is shining in my window and woke me up. Now I cant go back to sleep.” Sassafras 3:27:24 AM 12/02/09 ignore lol.....” 5:21:11 AM 12/14/09 “Good Morning TTers!!!! I didn't want to get up this am, since I didn't sleep hardly at all Saturday night... but wanted to see everyone off to work and school.... now it's just me.,, the cats & Molly the dog...oh..and coffee.... ...Molly gave me quite a welcome...whimpering and wagging!!!..she loves her Grandma!!!!...she is having "doggie dreams" now...asleep in the chair smacking her lips and whimpering....lol.... ...The kids picked me up at the airport, and took me to a place called "North something????" and I had a burrito.WONDERFUl...beans, eggs, onions, peppers, sweet potatoes.YES...sweet potatoes... and a nice dark roast coffee...yummmmmm......then to Target and then Trader Joes..I love Trader Joes :) ...I think today I will put on my walking shoes, and take a walk around Mount Vernon....it is a lovely town!!!! Oh.and Lee's dad went to the hospital Sunday morning....very low blood pressure...104 temp...pnumonia (sp?) they could barely feel a pulse...his bilirubin is at 10 ...and his white blood count is very low..(which I would expect with him going through chemo). he is in bad shape....we are hoping for the best...he has been thru worse already...it was VERY hard for me to decide to come to Ohio, with him in this state....but I selfishly came to see my kids and granddaughter...I hope Lee will forgive me....” 5:39:55 AM 12/14/09 “Good Monday morning! Getting the baby's room painted today, whoooeee! It was sanded, patched and primed yesterday. I cannot wait until I can put the rest of the furniture together. Going to haul wood before the rain comes now. I sure wish it were snow. =(” 5:41:21 AM 12/14/09 “ok.I'm here...let's have snow!!!! I travelled 1000 miles to see some!!!!” 5:49:49 AM 12/14/09 “Good morning. My best wishes to Lee. I'm praying for him.” 8:05:54 AM 12/14/09 “I'm home from school today, working on my final paper for this master's class. Its coming together, but too slowly for my taste. Can't wait until I hit the submit button later today. Dreary, drizzlely, and cold today. Good day to stay inside and work on a paper.” 9:11:44 AM 12/14/09 “Thanks for the prayers....Lee's dad is better....the other night his BP was VERY low....it is almost normal now and he is feeling better since he got some blood... Good Morning!!!..I was on here earlier and meant to post, and got distracted.... ...yesterday, I took a walk...walked to Wendy's and Rite Aid and back...about 4 miles....not too far....I would walk other places, but no sidewalks!!!...grrrr....seems like everything is at one end of town...and as most towns now...no sidewalks or crossings...sad....maybe more folks would walk if they could...( probably not) ...and today is colder...I don't know why I didn't bring my long undies....my next plan is to find out about a shuttle or bus in town..I have seen them around... ...my daughter has a cookie exchange tomorrow, and asked if Leah and I could make cookies....wooo hooo!!!...now to decide what kind to make!!!,,,I found a recipe for oatmeal carrot cookies...like a carrot cake...yummm...and they have such wonderful carrots from their garden!!!! ...I have to admit...it is so sad to be here without Edward ( their cat that died a few months ago) he was always wanting love....BUT they have added 2 kittens to the family, so there is always action going on....and we woke to a bulb off the Christmas tree...going to be interesting...” 7:05:01 AM 12/15/09 “Morning everyone. Finally got my car inspected today. Didn't work out yesterday. We had to do MANDATORY cookie training at gs last night; the new cookie is a cranberry white chocolate thing, and is surprisingly good. I think it's meant to be dunked into coffee, tea, or milk, because of it's biscotti-like texture. Sales start Jan. 1 for us. ;) This cookie replaces the sugar free chocolate chip cookie, which had a habit of acting like ex-lax on the people eating them.” 8:49:00 AM 12/15/09 Jump to Page << prev
