I'm way ahead of you gals

Let's start our day with a good morning here.

I'm way ahead of you gals

Postby carold » Thu Dec 08, 2011 5:59 pm

It's Friday @5:44 am here in Chiang Mai, Thailand and we're getting ready for a day trip to do a few "touristy" activities. Nothing to cook with here in the hotel, so hoping someone will get breakfast going. It was good checking in and reading some of the posts. Welcome back, Mitch-good to hear your voice :D tGM has been able to blog-he's a happy puppy! I'm loving being in such a different culture and hoping I haven't offended anybody by pointing with my feet or patting a child on the head. I'm also doing a great job of keeping my $$ in my wallet. The street markets here are soooo tempting. Ok, off to eat. Have a great Thursday-mine was :roll: carold

Also don't admire any puppies. My friend did that and the guy returned with it in wrapped in brown paper and wanted paid for the meat! :shock: :cry:

Good Morning
Have been up since 4:00 AM, couldn't sleep for some reason. Did get to see the full moon as it was sinking and watch the dark slip away. No sunrise tho it is to be sunny today.

Did get caught up on tGM blog. The photos are wonderful. Got a chuckle out of the note about mix up of Snow White's dwarfs and Santa's elves too.

Nothing much note worthy going on around here lately. I'm off to read about Mexico now.

Have a great day.

Good Morning from here too.

Wow, you certainly are up ahead of us Carol. Sounds like you are going to have a good time over there. Enjoy. And even Soos, Beth, Sarah and Lenora beat me to it this mornng. And it's only 8:10 a.m. :) But it's nice to see some posts on first thing in the morning.

I was up a bit after 5 and dogs wanted a potty call. So put them out, made a potty call myself, took a Tylenol for a sore heel that I have at the moment and then let the dogs back in. Boy, they sure didn't waste time getting in either. Made a beeline for the bedroom and both of them were clamoring to get up on my bed. So up we all went and they snuggled back into doggie dreamland, nice and cozy and warm. We finally rolled out about 7:45.

Got my cookied baking done yesterday. Two large and one medium large tupperware container full of Spritz cookies. This morning I am going to the store to get some ingredients for a couple of more I want to make, that i just decided on yesterday and don't have all the necessary ingredients for them. want to get some christmas plates (paper) to give them away on too, but first will check my stock here and see if I have enough right here. But I can't believe how tired I was after baking cookies most of the day yesterday. Hmmm, am I getting older you think :lol: But I did take the dogs for a long walk and they crashed after we got home, not to move for almost the entire evening either.

Thanks for the heads up on the Kodak printer Nancy. I had considered getting one of them, but some of the reviews I read, weren't too favorable. But had I not gotten the one I have, I would take a second look. And yes, I do still have my landline phone here, but I did not buy a printer with a fax as I don't need to fax anything. There are places in town that I can do that if necessary. But I can only think of one time when I needed to do it and was able to send it off at work.

Judy, take your time and go at it slow but steady. It will be a long winter. Everyday, you will see something else getting done. Like Beth said, do it steady, but busy like. I too repainted this house and took pictures and stuff off the walls, patched up holes etc., but I have rehung pictures back up. Just not personal ones except for my hallway. If I were going to sell the house, I would leave all but my personal ones up as they dont want a place to look too empty. It won't take much to patch up a teeny nail hole. Your condo should sell without much problem if you are in a good location, even with the market as it is. My cousin's put my uncle's condo in Shelby Twp. up for sale when he passed away and it sold surprisingly fast. Even they were surprised. I think as us baby boomers age, people are looking for something more simple to live in rather than the upkeep of a house, so a condo is appealing.

Well, the sun is rising and the sky is blue, at least for nw. There are lake effect snow showers happening in some areas north and south of here, and with the winds predicted to come from the west, I expect the same for here. So guess I shall be on my way to town and then can snuggle in for the day.

So I wish a wonderful day for all of you. Hope you all have some of the nice sunshine that appeared yesterday.

Morning everyone! I woke up about 5 too, started to get up nut decided it would make a really long day and managed to get back to sleep.Pepper went back to sleep too, and we got back up around 8. The big yellow ball is back in the sky again today. I like when it is here, I seem to have much more energy! Got tree up and lights on, promised gdks I would wait until after school to do the rest. I hate to tell all you fake, I mean "artificial" tree lovers how good my house smells! But I also have to vacuum needles off the carpet already. Still don't know what everyone wants for Christmas, I really do want to shop instead of just give money and gift cards. I got myself a couple of things yesterday! Some sweatshirts and hoodies , a jacket vest, and some black blue jeans. There were some good sales at the outlet mall. Sue, my virtual cookies were delicious. Everyone have a good and safe day! And fun. Wendy

I feel so fortunate to get to go on all these lovely vacations, Carol and Carol have taken me along to Thailand and Mexico all in the same day and I can just sit here in my comfy chair and enjoy. I so appreciate the pictures and posts.
I finally have my pictures ready to start selling again on eBay. First time I've done this since I have the Mac computer and I have to say, my Dell with windows XP was soooo much easier. I lost a whole group of pictures and had to start over grrr, taking the pictures is the hardest part for me because the quality of the picture pretty much makes the sale I think. I've found lots of items around the house I want to sell this time that when I did it before I wasn't ready to part with. If you hear loud noises it's me yelling at this computer! When I used to sew a lot I spoke to my machine quite a bit and my DH said why do you do that if it frustrates you so, I was so surprised as I liked to sew and felt it relaxed me. Maybe all my fussing relieved my stress as I sewed!
Have a good day all.

My DH shouldn't have any stress left. I often hear him cussing and carrying on in the living room. When I go to see what's the matter it's either the TV or the phone. He kept dragging the phone off the table and getting the cords all tangled up. I finally ordered him a cordless phone for someone with a hearing problem. My son and I both are having trouble keeping it working right. It has too many buttons that can be adjusted and DH manages to get it messed up several times a day. If I could get one of the old black heavy phones that's what he would have. All the phones I have looked at lately are either too complicated or too cheaply made.

I need to go to the feed store and try to straighten out our accounts. We have 2 different accounts for the farm and the last 3 months they have royally screwed them up. I'm getting tired of the mess. They must have a new bookkeeper. I think the last payment was applied to the wrong account but they didn't send me enough backup to see what they did. I worked for a farm supply years ago and I know how hard it is to keep farmers straight but good grief.

I need to get what I need to make my Christmas goodies and get started on that. Some of it can be frozen so I can make it now and freeze it so I don't have to make everything at once. The bad thing is I only make things I like so hard not to sample too much.
