Football is on all day I have been informed;) I was going to the mall, but feel too lazy for that. I think I will start a new book and lazy around same as yesterday.

I am not doing a lot today, could feel better, but right now I am frying the pork chops, biscuits are in the oven, salad in the bowls and the potatoes are baked. The iced tea is about done. I will make the gravy in a little bit. I have both of husband's jackets in the washer and that is about it. I did take a nap this morning as I didn't feel like anything else. The sun is really bright on the five or so inches of snow we got yesterday. Three of the kids have called me and look for the fourth to call before the day is up.

So nothing too exciting and I like it that way today. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Nothing..We both got up and had homemade waffles & sausage for breakfast. Got our dd off to work...ie packed her lunch. Went back to bed and just woke up, but now DH is taking a nap. Hope to put new stickers on the car because Auburn won the SEC National Championship & beat Bama..Have to scrape off old stickers first. So not much at all...Oh I want DH to blow the leaves off the front porch...

I've been working on finishing up a quilt I made last summer, did some paper work and will watch the NFL playoffs. Go Pats.

Sue, you've already accomplished so much!

Yeah football will be on here too...although I am the only one in the "main" part of the house..so the TV is not on. ;)

Lazy day would be nice..but..I have to get a bit done...oh..reminds me..I put cleaner in the toilet almost an hour ago...

Laura, sounds like a slow day at your house too..Tony maybe not. ~wink~

My hubby will be lounging around for the next two days!

Local fishing derby was held yesterday, so lots of family came home for that. More cooking involved, of course, but I like doing that occasionally! They have all headed home after pancakes and eggs for breakfast. Now I'm just reading the paper and being lazy.

What kind of fish Phyllis?

Sounds like you deserve that lazy time!

It's cold, and windy, not a lot of new snow but drifting snow. We are hibernating watching TV.

Finished gathering things up for when Interfaith comes to pick it up for their thrift shop. Vacuumed the bedrooms--only place there is carpet. That's about it and I'm ready for a nap. Need to take newspapers to the recycle bin but it's too cold and the wind is blowing, so they'll have to wait.

NFL (go Broncs!!) and a little cooking. I have a big pot of vegetable soup simmering on the stove and some of Glenda's overnight cheese french toast in the refrigerator ready to bake. I'll make some banana pudding at half time and my best friend will come over after the game for an early supper with us. Nice cozy lazy day!

I made brunch. We will go grocery shopping today. I have been cleaning the kitchen and need to put away the clean and folded laundry. I have a lot of catching up with the house from my being sick. I am finally able to do some stuff with out it kicking my butt. I need to get some super energy for a few days!

Not much, husband watching football...we're in Colorado,
so Broncos fans..

Uh -- a Fox news van just pulled up in front of my house. Back in a minute...

Pam, it's been a minute... ;)

Well with hubbies muscles..the pork grinding was easy..I just tossed the meat chunks in the try and he did all the pushing..

That is one nifty contraption..did have to stop part way through and remove the front, there was sinue stuck around the blade..that was just as easy to remedy.
I have made 2 lbs of hot italian..and on my second 2 lbs of breakfast sausage. First batch I shaped into 12 patties. The second batch will be shaped into a big log for future use.

There is a bit of meat left over..will probably just fry up into some little meatballs for snacking.

Oh and I have Honey Wheat Bread dough rising..that will become, rolls to go with dinner.

Okay, I was just starting to post when the van pulled up. We had a bunch of burglaries in the neighborhood on Thursday night. Highly unusual for this neighborhood -- well, sadly, it is getting more common in the general area. Anyway, they wanted to interview someone about the break ins. They came to my door (and a lot of others) and asked if they could ask me a few questions about it, but I said no thanks, not ready for my moment of fame.

So that was the SECOND most exciting thing here today. The MOST exciting was that I bought a Roku box and managed to set it up all by myself. The hardest part was threading the wires through the holes in the media center and finding my wifi password.

Haven't had much of a chance to try it yet. Other than that, I had coffee, read the paper, cleaned the den and messed it up again. Dinner with mom later.

Been gone all day!

Church, lunch with friend, then we both went to the gym, shopped at Kohl's, stopped and had a buy one get one free at ice cream place, dropped her off at her place.

Ready to take a nap.

We had a birthday party for the family for our granddaughter who turns 18 tomorrow. She is such a lovely young lady. We served subs with chips and dip and fruit. Birthday cake and ice cream. Lots of talking and laughter. Fun day for her. Lots of nice gifts too. She was a happy girl. Tomorrow on her real birthday her dad is taking the immediate family out for dinner. We will give her our gift then. Now we are enjoying the quiet and the football game.

Getting over the creeping crud here, too. Still very weak. I've got a ton of laundry to do. Just thinking of those three flights downstairs, to the laundry room, and back up multiple times, makes me want to take a nap.
Put a nice pork shoulder in the crockpot yesterday afternoon for pulled pork today, made a big dish of coleslaw. Hubby said he couldn't stand it longer, and had pulled pork sandwiches at 3:00 a.m. when he got up. And has had four more since!
He's beating himself up because he didn't grab any chips or snack stuff for the game today. Wish I felt better, I can usually throw together a tray of 'something' for him to snack on.

Well Pam..Be safe..Had to google Roku..had no clue what it was.
Glenda, that's a full day!
Mary, that sounds like a super fun day..and more to come!
Ang, I'm sorry you feel bad..I have to go outside to do laundry..so I haven't yet..lol..

Last 3 patties are in the skillet, rolls are shaped and rising..just pulled the loin roast out of the fridge..

Still need to get my cookie bars together...soon as these patties are done..
The down side of the home ground pork..more grease!
I'm going to have to scour the kitchen!

Seachickens game is about to start..I might open a window so I can hear my neighbors..they are huge Fans! They are so funny to listen to!

We were planning to go see a movie, but DH's gout flared up last night. We stayed home today and I just worked on some organizing projects I've been meaning to get around to.

I have bridge here tomorrow so I've been puttering around getting the place ready for vacuuming and dusting. Washed a few windows, cleaned out the pantry closet(should have saved that for after bridge) baked a cake, went to Wine and Cheese (made sausage balls) and I'm sitting down until 8:00. Will do a bit of vacuuming tonight and make a dip for tomorrow and will finish up cleaning tomorrow when I can see.

I had planned to do laundry, and other household chores to get ready for the work week, but Alex decided he wanted to go see a movie. We haven't seen a lot of him lately and so we picked him up. We were going to see Hurcules, his choice, but we were all too late, he was originally supposed to meet us there. Anyway, ended up seeing 47 Ronin. It was ok, almost fell asleep in the beginning. A little hokie but not horribly so.

We ate a late lunch at Wendys in the car, because Alex was starving and we only had 30 minute till the movie. Lauren wanted to spend some time with her new boyfriend this evening so we were limited on time.

After I dropped her off I went to Trader Joe's to get a few things. Now I'm home. Threw some towels in the washer, put a beef roast and veggies in the crockpot for work lunches and Lauren. Then made my dinner. I got some fun English cheese, whole grain crackers, Kalmata (sp?) olives and some clams in butter/garlic sauce. Teeny tiny clams-lol.

Going to watch Revenge later and wait for Lauren to come home. She knows she's supposed to be home by 9:30 and so does her boyfriend!

I look back at all I did today and I wore myself out..lol.. I am kicked back on the couch..watching the last of the game..

Just a touch of dishes left..

Got a few things on my mind to do tomorrow.

I made 10 sausage-n-egg on a croisant sandies. Then went shopping & purchased:a new feather on a stick cat toy, kitty chia grass, Whiskas filet mignon cat food and a new Vampire book. YAY!

I didn't do a lot. Finished cleaning my bedroom. It looks all pretty again. Cleaned out my purse. It's a lot lighter now. Took a shower and cooked dinner. Tomorrow I tackle the kitchen.

We had DD and her DH and 2 darling grandsons for an overnight. 7 year old lost his front tooth snacking on a Rice Crispie Treat after lunch, DSILs sneaky plan to get that very loose tooth pulled out naturally. Shopped with DD for a rash guard for GS at our great resale shop. Found some good deals on 2 rash guards, 1 pair pirate print trunks in the next size, a shirt, and a pair of shorts. Then back home to help them pack up the car for their return home about 75 minutes north. Packed up lots of baked goodies for them to take home. They are living in the master bedroom and study for 4 months while the downstairs is getting a renovation with a complete gutting of the kitchen down to the studs. She is preparing their meals with a microwave and that is about it.

YOU'LL HAVE TO ASK THE MICE: I AIN'T THERE. (capitals unintended - but I'm lazy, I guess)
