KrissiK Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I adored my maternal grandparents. My grandma never fed us junk food, but was an awesome cook. Her cinnamon rolls were to die for. My grandpa would take us out on the tractor with him when he’d go in the vineyards. And they had a swimming pool and Grandpa would go get a big old bunch of grapes and sit by the side of the pool and throw grapes in for my cousins and me to go diving for. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My maternal grandma had a sprinkler and orange creamsicles in the freezer. Good enough. :D She is still alive but getting old. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I talked to my mom today for over an hour with the video chat on Facebook messenger. She thought Gymnast was 5, lol! She was showing me around the property, her garden, her dog (German shepherd), and where they put up a greenhouse. She showed me the light post my dad had put up back when it was $80, and not the 300 it is today. She also showed me where I could put a house. I'm thinking modular. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I wonder if my cat could be periodically a bit OCD? This morning she was yowling to be let out. I opened the door to let her out, but she didn't go through. When I shut the door it didn't quite close correctly so I opened it to close it again and my cat went right out as soon as it was open again. Just my luck to have a cat developing a need for multiple door openings before she will go through. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) I reiterate: you need a headset. One that doesn't fit right doesn't count. Your dd also doesn't need to watch 2 hours of French. So, you need both. :D The shopping and trying different headsets is the problem. Yet another chore to do. Lots of stuff like that is on hold until after we get Dad moved. Once that's done we will assess next needs all around and start establishing routines for our new normal and coming up with plans for tackling stuff. Whelmed Booya(h).

AMJ Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 And a fried egg! (That's what the fancy places are doing.) When we next go see Grandma B. in Farmington I'll be pushing to go to lunch at a certain beer and burger joint there. Last time I took a risk on a rather interesting sounding burger, their TKO burger. It's never the same from day to day -- they have a gourmet burger chef who likes to experiment. It. Was. AWESOME! I can't remember what-all was on it, but there was a not-to-spicy aioli sauce, apple sauce, and other really interesting toppings. I texted a picture of the menu description to a certain BIL of mine and set off his carnivore jealousy. I have GOT to go have another go at the TKO! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 And bacon!! And American cheese. I liked this for the bacon. I have found I'm not that crazy about cheese on my burger, unless it's something like Blue Cheese or Gorgonzola. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Pb is banned from our house. We tried sun butter - not the same. I do not like avocados. Burgers do not last long here, either. DS lives cold cut sandwiches with cheese and lettuce. He also loves grilled cheese. I grew up eating wheat bread. I still prefer it over wonder white. But a really good Italian bread or French bread are my faves now. Rosemary and olive oil bread is nice, too. As are olive baguettes. :drool5: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 DD13 is wiped out today with girl issues. I told her class time today will be very light and we can hold it in her room so she can stay lounging on her bed. I'll text Sensei a bit later to let him know she won't be coming to Aikido tonight. I have a couple of lists of things to get done today, so we will see how much I accomplish. Time for breakfast, and I need to remember to call Dad.

AMJ Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 DD16 is dragging a bit today, too, and is rather melodramatic as well. Perhaps she is due to start. It would be nice to have it over and done with by the time we go to Colorado next week. I mentioned to Dad today that I want to bring DD16 with me. He's fine with that, and her coming along might also help calm his worries somewhat. This morning he was talking about making my "next trip" an "interim trip" (meaning I come back a third time before he moves) because he thinks he can't get it all done in time. I told him my plan was to stay until the job is done, and with DD16 along I think he now feels like this is more likely to actually get done. I made sure to tell her that her Grandpa J. is happy she's coming. I'm getting a few things sorted and then will go deliver stuff (bedding) to Dad's new apartment and visit Trader Joe's afterwards.

ikslo Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I hate American health care. Received an email for a new program where you get a free Fitbit. So I tried to sign up, but was told I don't qualify, because I'm healthy. So only the people who are unhealthy get the nice things/benefits. :glare: It's discriminatory, I tell ya! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been on my list before, DH would buy me headphones, they wouldn't quite work for me (shades of immature royalty and legumes here), and I'd give up on the idea. I've taken over the TV most of the time instead, as a work-around. Part of my deal is they also have to be noise-cancelling, or I'll go nuts trying to determine what I'm hearing aside from the sounds of whatever I'm doing. I have always been noise-distractable, and motherhood cranked up the power on that to the nth degree. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
