Gooood Morning Sistahs!!!!

It's Saturday and for most everyone it's suppose to be a play day. But in actual fact for most of us it's a work day in one way or another be it housework, laundry or maintenance on the home front. Me? I'm going into work. I have some web based training to finish up and then a test on it to do. I'm having a hard time with the computer program we will be using. I'm sitting in the back of the training room and my old eyes seem to not want to focus on the wall in the front of the room that the trainer is using as a projection screen. Also those of us in the back keep asking to have something repeated cause we don't hear everything that is asked and answered. If a question is asked in the front they of course don't speak up loud cause the trainer is right there and the answers sometimes aren't loud enough to be heard in the back. Plus as usual if there is anyone that, well I wont say trouble makers, but noisy ones always sit in the rear of any class. They jabber and joke which interferes with what is going on. ~sigh~ But I when I am done doing the computer training this morning, depending on time, I might go work in collections for awhile for some overtime hours to pad that paycheck. Oh joy!! Don't know yet if I will do 4hrs or 6hrs of overtime today. Now Sunday? That's my day.

Got a couple of newbies again?? Or at least a few more have jumped in the the whirlpool of sistahood posting!!! Yay! So glad to see ya gals! We a bunch of wonderful, loving, nosy, caring, helpful and fun group of women. It just doesn't get any better than this. Welcome To Home Sistahs. :D

Well I need to get this old butt into gear. I have got to have a shower this morning before I'm seen in public. But hey I've got the big pot full of coffee cause I know that everyone will be wandering in sooner or later. Probably later more like, bunch of lazy sleepy heads! :lol: God some goodies here. Found some Butter Run Muffins at the store, their pretty good too, not as good as my old grocery store Hannafords had but good just the same. Got biscuits & English Muffins here, eggs, and I see someone brought sausage patties again so I better get out the cheese. And of course Barbz left us stocked up on Biscotte. So enjoy Sistahs and I'll be home later.

Hope everyone has a kool day today and please be safe.

Love to all

ahhhhh, good morning, no sleepy head here, have alot of last minute tidying up to
do before my sister gets here, probably about noonish. Plane lands at 10:30, get
luggage and rental car and so noonish is about right.
I woke up at 2, then at 3 and finally it was 5 when I woke up again. I must be excited.
duh. Gotta do up the dishes, include the coffeepot so its nice and shiny, get my shower
and wash my hair. Thats about it really, still need to do my routine stuff, laundry and
go buy groceries.
Have a great day, stay warm and be safe.

My gosh, it's morning and I'm up early!! Not going to eat anything now as I'm meeting Margie and Carolyn for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. What a great way to start the morning....friends and laughter. Then coming home to do a few things. My neighbor invited us over to visit before the TN Titans and Ravens football game for drinks and snacks. It will be a very good day, and I wish a wonderful Saturday for all of you.

Good morning everyone! For me it will be housework, make a dump run, and grab a few items at the grocery store where I will buy the dump stickers.... then home for the weekend. I've got a couple of Netflix movies waiting to reward myself with when the chores are all done.

Ava, have a wonderful time with your sister,... do NOT obsess over anything except enjoying your time together and getting to know each other all over again. I hope you have great weather and lots of fun!

GOOD MORNING, ALL!!

With the thermometer standing at 22 below zero out there this morning, I am waiting for the sun to get a bit higher before I make a dump run and bring in some more firewood! Perhaps, by this afternoon, if the temp gets to at least zero, I may try to ski a couple of loops on my trails----but I know Molly will opt to stay here by the woodstove!

Coffee tastes GOOD this morning----is warming my hands as well as my guts. I just got in from the porch after filling my bird feeder. When you can see 'bird breath' out there, you KNOW it is cold!!

Ava....have a fun day with your sister! How exciting for you! Sure wish you didn't have to work, Echo----Saturdays and Sundays are supposed to be recovery days!

Lotus has a fun day planned already!

Thanks for the coffee, and I hope to read lots more messages as the day gets older!

From me and Molly in the deep freeze zone!

Anybody wanna sit at my coffee bar this morning??!!

Morning all. Brrrr, that looks cold. Today I'm going to tear my rig apart looking for my GREEN CARD! Beth and I went into Mexico yesterday and would I be Sparkle without trauma? NO Green Card. Interagations...Beatings with a rubber hose...jail. No wait, that's just what I thought was going to happen. Sorry, got carried away. I'll post later with pictures.

It's cold here but not too bad, actually warmed up overnight from 17 when I went to bed last night. Hey, it's up to 27. We'll be able to put the slide out again today. (when it hit 10 we'd better have it in or the kitchen sink will freeze) We'll hit 42 today with sunshine so that will be a nice balmy day. We'll have this milder weather until about Tuesday when a chance of snow sneaks in.

Not much else to report...Shell

This is exactly why in college, I always sat towards the front, so I'd hear everything. Can you move forward?

For me, today is running errands to get ready for yet another snowstorm coming in tonight through tomorrow. Brrrr!

It didn't make it before noon so, Good afternoon! :D It is a glorious day here! Warm & sunny. We've already been out enjoying it.

Ava, hope you have a great time with your sister! Yea, it sounds like you were a little excited. :lol:

Nasoosie, your place looks beautiful! Cold, but beautiful! :lol: Love the sunflowers.

Lotus & Rvgranny, we'll be watching the games too, love football.

And Happy Birthday Mollie!

Hubby & the rest of the pack come down today. So I'll have wheels again. I have to learn to plan better. I almost ran out of dog food. That is a big No-No around here. Hope you all the a great Saturday!

Wow!!

Becky, Margie and Carolyn going for breakfast at Cracker Barrel, shame Kelly and I don't live closer.

Ava needs a good dose of Chill Pills. Calm down Ava your sister isn't coming all that way just to critique your house keeping abilities. :D

Soos? It might be cold out there but I see you got flowers growing and climbing the posts. I've sat my butt in snow banks before drinking a mug of coffee.

Cedars day sounds like what mine is gonna be now that I'm home again from work.

Sparkle?? How did ya get back in the US??? You are a trip and a half!!! LOL

Shelly is be having a heat wave out there. Be feeding the stock in her bikini pretty soon.

Hey Lori? What is it about picking up sea shells? I've got a box of them in the bedroom I picked up in Maine. Friend across the street gathered a bunch and filled the bases on two clear glass living room lamps with them. She has some what of a sea shore light house theme going on in her living room.

Leslie, I sure wish I could sit towards the front. But we were the second bunch added to the training class and all the seats up front were taken. The instructor really needs to do her deal from the middle of the room. Everyone would be able to see and hear then.

Hey Trudy! Shade and I are partial to the little marrow bones but Honey like any and all goodies. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Molly!!

I ended up coming home earlier than I had planned I couldn't get into the last test I was suppose to take. Really ticked me off too. But I think I will take me a nap then have at some housework. Bought some new Corelle plates yesterday adn they need to be washed. Along with the other dishes. Other than my usual deal of housework I have nothing else planned. Sounds good to me. HA!! I did a recap! :lol:

Oh Soos, I would love to have a nice hot cup of coffee out there with you, IF, I can wear my big coat :lol: What a gorgeous place you have. The atmosphere would be super for a first cuppa in the morning.(with the coat). I would really love it.
Thanks for posting, I always enjoy your pics of your place.

My my Echo, you have got this summarizing down pat. You are a good learner! lol

We had a great time at Cracker Barrell and at Bankston MH and Camping World. Many we lusted after those Phaes! Oooh, they are so purty!

I know, I know, it's late in the day but just felt like posting here. This ballgame of the TN titans and Baltimore Ravens sucks! It's is ticking me off.
