Tuesday eve

Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Well as most mornings in this house are this one was no diff. - slow to start, as hubby has to watch his tv show from 10 -11. Then we went out and checked for stuff for bathroom, took till 3. then late lunch, worked on bathroom from 3:30 -4:45. argh not long enough for my liking. But I had an apointment to get my brace. Off we went again. So far so good, it is a light metallic mauve and not too heavy. It does fit under my jeans but is very bulky looking and makes my jeans leg slide up some and bunch. Oh well thats okay. If it works then great. I didn't feel as if I was lopsided and walking with a limp. Only wear it for an hr 2x day then 2 hrs etc till all day. esp. walking, yoga, uneven terrain, doing housework etc.


I also saw that dil put some new pics so much share them too. lol


call that one my tired boys. lol


Chris and his babies

and Eva


That's all for now folks - just like at the end of the cartoons years ago....

Hope you all had a great valentines day. we didn't do anything special, but did get the tile all out, tub out and tomorrow the floor comes out. then I can paint and then we can install new!

biggest loser is on in a while, so my one show I watch other than the occasional house decorating ones. Go tidy kitchen and get ready for my night!
HUGS

I hope the brace helps Cinders and thanks for sharing your family with us. Sounds like you're making great progress with the renos; isn't it funny how a job you think will take a couple of hours takes at least DOUBLE that Have a good Wednesday Report Inappropriate Comment

11 pm Monday eve

Monday, February 13, 2012

Well it is time to get to bed, maybe read for bit or not, but was up too late last night listening to the grammys and on pintrest. OMG that is addicting.
I have been on the fitness stuff for past while so have a few more quotes and things for my room. Not that things on the wall will make me drop weight and pick up weights lol

Okay go take my 2 pills for my legs, then go get a cup of green decaf tea. Oh have an apt tomorrow eve for fitting for my brace! Now hope I get some $$ in my bank account to pay for it soon. Insurance allows some things to be sent on line but not that. oh well know they will pay so thats okay.

We got a bit more done on the tub area filled 3 garbage cans with debris and hubby took it down stairs and outside.

oh the windows - yes they will have to be recaulked, but he wants to take the frames off and add more insulation then do that. so for now will put a towel up to the 2 offending windows.

now bed, and a good nights sleep and a plan for a good valentines day. OH got a charm for my bracelet as dad gave me 30$ for my arm he said. got one that is just sliver and says daughter, figured he would like that, and I will always remember who got it for me.

sleep well all, good morning to those that are up and going for the day- happy valentines day!!! HUGS

My heavens it is COLD

Monday, February 13, 2012

oh man - 22 windchill and I am so cold here in the house! brrr I have my long johns on under my clothes. We have new windows in this house but the frame between the windows and sill have a slight crack as if it needs painting... and boy the wind is coming in. BRRR. anyway we have to go out and yes our truck has heated seats but they are leather so first it is cold enough to get hemmroids lol then it heats up LOL NO complaining as it has been much colder and we didn't have heated seats before.

So have to go buy a new element for stove, a charm for my bracelet, dad gave me some $ to get one from him, so it will be a daughter one or a star lock one. We have to get a roll of insulation, some garbage cans, durarock, etc..........

Hoping the stove is only the burner, cos I wanted hot cereal ( only every 2nd or 3rd day ) and hubby said making in micro. well could have but made a green smoothie and hot green tea. lol

Now going to get moving so I won't be too cold. Can't be staying on puter at pintrest cos just tooo cold. lol

HUGS all sun is shining and hope all are well!

Sorry about your cold. We had in the 60's here today. Yesterday it was 49 when I went to church and got into the 50's and rain. Leather seats and not heated as we don't have that much cold weather. Hot soup or chile sound good for a day like that. Report Inappropriate Comment

Thought you might like to know that the temps here in Mildura today will be 36 degrees .. I think that would be about 85 degrees in your money!!.LOL!! Try to stay warm and cosy ... Hugs Susie Report Inappropriate Comment

I was just about to suggest some filler and read WIIGARDEN-NYMPH's comment. Hope it warms up for you Report Inappropriate Comment

Have you chased the window sills and surrounds with silicon caulking, before paintng? Hope the element is the problem, you have topost a picture of your charm bracelet, have a great day Hug Report Inappropriate Comment

JOYINKY 2/13/2012 10:12AM

Cold here too but in the teens; nothing like you're having. Would probably feel warm to you! Sunny and clear. Have a great day! Hugs. Report Inappropriate Comment

TWNOMWE 2/13/2012 9:44AM

YES It is cold here too -20 without the windchill (-30 with that). I froze my fingers getting in the car no heated seat here in my 11 yr old nissan and since i have only a 5-10 min ride to work the car was just warming up when arrived at work. Hope you get your stove working and a hot breakfast would be great. Have a great cold day. Report Inappropriate Comment

Went out for supper chose great and had a good time

Sunday, February 12, 2012

Late this afternoon, I put the kettle, with water in it, on the stove to boil for tea. I went up to get some laundry,and heard this very loud noise and hubby jumping up. I thought he had turned the surround sound on the tv. But the burner and kettle didn't like each other. Made a hole in kettle and demolished about 2 inch of the coil. No reason, usually it is cos it boils dry but nope lots of water and sparks, and sparky enough to take tiny pits in the enamel! So hubby said we will get a new element and hope that is it, but we went out for supper this eve. Was an easy wanna go out for supper, sure! LOL
I chose well, left the bun, no dessert. Came home and had greek yogurt unsweetened, with kiwi and 4 strawberries blended up to a sorbet. Not sweet at all, cos usually I buy the yog with some honey but thought nope don't need it, but still was tasty but missed that sweet tang.
SO tomorrow to the store for a part for the stove, hope it works. then to buy some reno supplies, finish taking out the tile, oh yea buying some garbage cans and whatever else.
this eve will be a rest, to sleep better, and work hard tomorrow. we cancelled sil visit, which I was fine with and we wanted to make sure the stove worked.
HUGS and talk tomorrow

Sunday

Sunday, February 12, 2012

Slept poorly last night, but didn't feel as tired as the past 2 mornings when I slept well, go figure. whatever. Today I have hubby and I registered for yoga. When I said I have us both in for yoga, he just stuck his tongue out and sick grinned lol so guess he is going.

Dad called wanting his coffee and bun cos his car was frozen... hmmm see cars on the road, hubby said maybe he doesn't want to drive so said that, or maybe the ice is in his door as it did rain then freeze.

NOt a lot going on, maybe go get dad coffee - told him later or we may not even be going out, he has coffee just is used to his routine. Well I don't feel like going and have yet to drive the truck so don't think an icy day is the day to start.

Joined that pintrest site, lots of awesome stuff. One thing I will be making this summer, a coffee table made with 2 pallets - we have 2 and only will need the wood to put between them. it is neat, haven't a clue yet how to attach them to show you but anyway. lol it is for outdoors on the deck. neat, free ( as I have them) and won't rot quickly anyway.

Sister inlaw and hubby are comign for supper tomorrow so have to tidy up today and get a bit done so tomorrow we can do renos and stuff. after all it isn't the weekend ! LOL hubby didn't stay upset, for those that commented on hubby- I just did my own thing and wasn't long before all was fine. Just it didn't even have to happen Think of your words before you say them but then I too can learn from that.

Guess better go and do a bit of exercise, and do a load of towels. be back later to see what all has gone on with my sparker friends!
HUGS

Wow, hubby is going to yoga! Go hubby! I can't wait to hear all about it. The coffee table to outdoors sounds interesting. Hope you have had a very amazing day.

I am avoiding going out too--mostly cuz it is cold. I think the roads aren't too bad, and I need groceries. I have avoided pintrest too (sp?) I already wate a bunch of time online. Maybe this summer. Report Inappropriate Comment
