deal of the day


Yep, that is what I paid... Nevada and I went for a walk this morning to bring back a video and I thought I would walk through the store to see if there was anything I might want to buy and lo and behold I found this lovely package of meat.  I was a little worried when I got to the till that the cashier wouldn't give me that price but she just scanned it and didn't bat and eye...  Hmm now to decide what to accompany it with...in case you can't see the price it was .68

good monday morning

everyone.  Hope everyone had a good weekend.  Our weather here was clear but cold.  Tonite they have issued snowfall warnings.  This has been one bad winter so far.
 
I'm not sure if I told you before that in early Dec.  harry's dad went into the hospital with a lung infection.  He is now moved to his own room in sub-acute care and is happier then anyone has seen him in his whole life.  Must be the drugs or something cause he is very chipper and pleasant to be around. while visiting him I also ran into two people that I knew from high school who work there.

have a great week and don't be strangers

Thursday Thirteen

Sorry I have been absent for so long it just seems like I lost my blogging bug but will try.

1.Yeah Obama!  I am so happy and proud that our southern neighbors have a president the world can look up to.  HIs inauguration brought tears to my eyes.

2.Sunday was Nevada's bd it was a great day we had a spa party and did the whole facial cucumbers on the eye thingy.

3. Been looking for flights to Thailand for the four of us.  Can't really book things as said oldest son still doesn't have his license.

4.We had the most snow ever over the Christmas holidays.  It snowed and snowed and snowed.  There still is the big hulking black piles of snow littered everywhere over town.

5.Went ice-skating the other day and hit a hole in the ice.  Man did I ever go down fast.  I had the breath knocked out of me and hurt my elbow.  I had to crawl to the boards to get up.  I still find it painful to breath.

6.The superbowl,  I don't even know who's playing in it this year.

7. Happy that our NHL team is losing badly.  Tired of listening to the fanatic fans at the kids school talking nothing but hockey..  Get a life they are pro players and get tons of money for doing something they love..

8.Finally we can get back out walking as the snow is mostly off the streets.  I never realized how much walking was a part of my routine.

9. Gas prices went up 20 cents a litre in the last week here.  I wonder what their big excuse
is this time for raising the prices.

10.My hair is getting too many grey ones to cover with the odd streaks I've been adding.  I'm not ready to take the full dye step.

11. I heard a rumour that shoulder pads are coming back..augghh no not that again please.

12.Had to help the middle one with his algebra last night.  Wow I think my brain is still reeling and smoking abit today.

13. Well here we are done and what a boring blog it is.  I guess I'm out of practice.  chow babies....

Well what can I say

I have been terribly remiss on my postings..So much has happened I don't even know where to begin.  So I won't bother....  Happy New Year everyone.   We had a great xmas at home with record snowfalls and now record rain.  We sure picked a bad or good year to stay at home. All around our town we are having avalanches and mudslides and flooding.  We've been checking our basement regularly but have been spared.  I guess digging the trench by hand all around the house last summer and laying the new drain tiles saved our butts.
  We were supposed to be heading to Thailand at the end of this month but with the recent political upheavals there we put a tentative hold on those plans.  I guess I can just relive last years warm months in the Bahamas.

Yesterday was Hairball's BD.  He said he isn't having anymore..  Could be because the next year it will start with a new decade.  I remember turning my first decade and was so proud I had two digits in my age.  I still remember the plaid levi's jeans I got for my present..

Well enough rambling,  I have to make some breaky for my hungry family... Lisa I am still going to make your chili egg puff but haven't gotten around to it yet...
