Attaboy is, well, we made it through the whole thing, with everyone getting lost only a few times, lol.

Susan in TN Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Good morning! Yay for rain! And also no rain! 😄 So yesterday when I was a Publix getting ladyfingers and mascarpone, the checkout guy asked if I was making a recipe or if I just really liked ladyfingers. I told him my daughter was making a recipe and the guy in line behind me said (in a very heavy Italian accent) that he congratulated dd for using mascarpone for the tiramasu, because Some People think you can use cream cheese, but it just is not the good thing. He was an Italian chef and dd12 was so tickled about the whole thing. 🙂 I should have brought gloves on Chester's morning constitutional. It's COLD out there! 24 degrees. And I tossed a tennis ball to him in the park and his leash got off my hand and he tore off across the field. I lured him back over to me with an irresistibly big stick. Coffee! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Morning. Happy Friday! It's super duper cold here and we're supposed to get tons of snow starting Sunday and going right through until Tuesday. Yuck. At least my Monday and Tuesday classes haven't needed to use makeup days yet this year. Our heat system seems to be keeping up okay. Maybe a few degrees lower than ideal.

We have a skylight in the bathroom and it is amazingly noisy when it rains.😡 School and work today!! I need to remember to take oldest DD to get her allergy shots. I usually take her on Friday, right after school, but I have an IEP meeting as soon as I get her home from school, so we’re going to have to go after the meeting, so that will be out of my routine and I am more likely to forget. I should write myself a note. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's making the meal tonight, though we'll do the tiramisu this morning and chill until dinner. It looks fairly easy - just making the whipped cream/mascarpone, dipping the ladyfingers in chocolate sauce, and layering the two. I am thinking the ravioli will take all afternoon to make. 30 minutes ago, Junie said: Good Morning! Happy Friday!

Critterfixer Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Evening. All up and caffeinated for the night shift. Taking the dog with me tomorrow for her bloodwork. She growled at the cat tonight which is not usual for her. I think having to go out to the bathroom so much at night is bugging her, too. Hopefully get her problem sorted out tomorrow or at least find which endocrine system we need to hunt down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 We went to two Home Depots in two different cities but we got paint for the kitchen.

Wheres Toto Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Morning, Happy Saturday. Dh and I are going to look at the new location for the science center this morning. Still can't come close to making a decision or starting to negotiate since its NNN and we need to know what those numbers look like. This weekend, other than that visit, we are stopping at the science center to feed the animals, do some cleaning, and giving vacation feeders to the fish. We may not get there again until Tuesday depending on what the coming storm actually does. Seems to be a pretty good bet I'll at least be cancelling Monday classes, if not Tuesday as well. I hate making decisions this year. I used to go by what the schools do but so many are virtual I can't go by that anymore. I'll work on classes and school this weekend as well. I'm definitely, 100% taking this summer to get the entire year of school and classes planned out. No more of this doing it as I go along. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Good morning! Jean, I had a dream that our roof was leaking during a heavy rainstorm and water was gushing into the basement closet. I couldn't find a single bucket! The Silly Pup wanted attention at 5:30 this morning and barked and whined until about 6:30 when the girls got up. We were not amused. The Two Youngest are at a community garden helping work on a Scout Eagle project and dh is determined to take down the Christmas decorations today. It's time, I suppose. Dd22 is heading back to school today after lunch. Coffee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think because it's outside and so relatively COVID safe. So Juliet's bff didn't get in because of the high demand and because my friend waited to try to sign up.

That could be the case, though when I registered, the website indicated that there were still open classes. And then they didn't respond at all when I later emailed to ask. They texted to say that registration for the next session opens on Monday, so we'll see what happens with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I'm on list app #8. I wouldn't be so picky if I didn't use this type of app constantly. I *have* an app that works the way I like, but if I have to swipe to a recipe or my menu list, I have to reopen the app and go through several steps just to get back to the list. Also, it inexplicably deleted my Aldi app and I can't find it anywhere. Whew. Found the Aldi list. Got stuck in a weird category but I think I fixed it. Imma stick with the app I have and deal with the minor annoyance of it since I am tired to trying to find another that works the way I want it to. Heere endeth today's Technological Gripe.
