Shhhhhhhhh, don't wake her up! I think she's still sleeping!

Annie, I expect to hear of your catering business plans soon! We simply can't have you sitting around the house eating bon bons and watching soap operas.

After all that experience catering redneck weddings and non-redneck weddings, plus numerous family picnics and making specialty cakes and decorative cookies, we are expecting big things of you, ya know? All you need is a few more large Nesco roasters and you'll be ready for any crowd! LOL!

Teresa, who right now envies your energy!

Well, no soap operas because I cancelled satellite TV months ago, so now I have no TV to watch soap operas, and I seem to have run right out of bonbons. Darn it, I just didn't think ahead. (grin)

Cooper doesn't sleep in Woodie, although I wish he did. My alarm normally goes off at 6:30 am. Cooper didn't get me up until 6:45, so I guess that was kind of sleeping in. I had coffee made and took Cooper out to play fetch before 8 am.

I spent the morning surrounded by stepmother's financial paperwork that her federally subsidized housing center needs for "rent control". Nancy (wizardnm) called about 11 a.m. Elery called right after that and then I spent about an hour on the phone with his insurance company and my doctor's office getting added to his insurance. I went back to stepmother's stuff and got a phone call from the county, they'd "forgotten" to do my exit interview. Could I come in tomorrow at 11 am? Yeah sure, but only because I want a big check for vacation payout. After that I'll go to stepmother's to count out her meds, shovel her snow, take her grocery shopping and get her dog's nails trimmed.

Wednesday Ashley wants to go to the craft shops, she's been making and selling little girls' tutus and hair ribbons and beanie hats and such. She needs supplies.

so, what am I cooking? Just coffee, so far, but I did get a call asking me to bake 100 dinner rolls for a funeral dinner on Saturday and Elery wants me to come down there and I want to get this cabinet in my dining room cleaned out so I can get rid of the huge, dark, ugly monstrosity and paint.

So, I think I'll have leftover paella for supper and I haven't cooked a darned thing today, except coffee.

I need to see Ashley's beanies ribbons and tutus. My granddaughter Callie is two and a half today!

Aw, CC, I love that age, they're just so darned cute!

Ashley made matching tutus for Makayla and her American Girl doll, LOL, and here headbands with big flowers are very popular. I think they look funny, but the kids love them.

I'll see if I can remember to take a picture of Ashley's "craft room" tomorrow, she has bows and tutus hanging everywhere! She's been having fun, though, having "trunk parties" at people's houses and her Dad is going to let her open a "boutique" in the back of his new store building. You knew she was enough like me that she'd do something while on maternity leave, didn't you? (grin)
