Good afternoon!

Howdy! Cold and rainy here. Went to Elder Beerman today, Lauren was working and told me they had some warm sweaters. I bought two. I freeze at work all the time so was wanting something nice and warm. They aren't super thick but thicker than most. While walking through the store we went by the men's section and they had super thick, sweaters. Lauren made the comment that men's clothes are always better made and I agree. Makes me angry. Most of the sweaters are paper thin in the women's department with weird, too-large necklines.

Got some Subway sandwiches on the way home for me and Lauren. She's going to Louisville tonight to pick up her boyfriend at the airport.

Going to spend tonight playing cards with Lauren till she leaves and then watch something on-line or listen to a a book on CD. Hope you all have a great evening!

Enjoy your evening Kath. I will soon be going up to my room. I have been down here in my kitchen all day and I am sure ready for some rest. It has been rainy and cold here all day too. It is to get even colder by the weekend. I have a busy day planned for tomorrow, shopping for more groceries for Thanksgiving meal and other meals of course. Have a great night.

I just got off work. On Sunday my daughter in KC was vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pains. She ended up going to the minor emergency and they sent her to the emergency room. They gave her two bags of fluids and did some tests. I got there on Monday at 9:00am and took care of her for 24 hours. Stopped by my other daughter's on the way home and had lunch with her. Seems like there is already a bunch of illnesses going around already! Last night I had my last class which focuses on ending human trafficking. Tonight I am going out to eat with 3 girlfriends.

Today it's been sunny and cool.

woodrose, the Kentucky Governor's cup (and the Tennessee Governor's cup) is always awarded at Contest of Champions, at MTSU. That's the "state" I was talking about. I assume there are other contests and awards given. mama, there's a white supremacist rally that has descended on Shelbyville/Murfreesboro this weekend. 1) they're erring on the side of caution for the sake of the children, and 2) I THINK they want the MTSU campus police to help out since activities on the square are in such close proximity to the campus.

I worked my tutu off today. Honestly I have no idea where all the dust comes from. The base of the TV in the family room is shiney black and OMG it was so dusty. I thought to myself shame on you Mama what if someone happened to drop by and saw your pig pen..than I remembered outside of my kids no one visits. Lol. So it was a long day of housework. Than during dinner clean up I thought I really should scrub the frig out but decided to save it for morning. I have some deep cleaning I'd like to get done before the holidays providing I can find the energy which isnt looking very promising.

I was not feeling well for most of last week- a virus that turned into bronchitis which is very hard on me because I have asthma. All is well enough now, so I am back to gabbing away at the KT. I missed everyone :-) Rob, I had a terrible itching reaction to a sulfa drug many moons ago- it's awful. I hope you feel better soon. Kath, Four hours at the dentist?? My mouth aches for you. Yuk. Mama pinky, Aren't great parent teacher conferences the best things ever? There is nothing better than seeing your child meet his potential. I am going to offer a bit of unsolicited advice, because I learned this lesson a bit late in my parenting journey- I hope you don't mind. Carol Dweck from Stanford suggests we only reward effort and perseverance- never outcomes. A lot of bright children hardly need to study to do well in the young grades and are used to being praised for their results. Once they reach a stage where they need to study, they have not developed very good study skills and their self image is tied up in being a good student, so they are a bit stuck and often give up. Dweck popularized this theory when it was too late for me to learn from it. You should have seen the auditorium full of parents of late elementary/ middle schoolers when she spoke about this. We were all devastated at not having done a very good job. If I were you I might consider a special dinner or dessert with a "toast" to how well the boys stayed on top of their work and turned in their assignments and add anything meaningful you know about- like when Chip or Tim helped some one else learn, or struggled and learned something, etc. Motivation is a tricky thing.

Good afternoon :-) Great find Nicole. DH brings not very exciting stuff home for me like fence material and things like that. Much appreciated but not very fancy even though it is free :-) he gets it on his job sites. When they are throwing stuff away they ask him if he wants it. I'm here having pizza with my husband. well sort of. he got a business call so I'm talking to you. My view outside the window is one of a traditional Vancouver gray rainy day. You can see me often with whole over layer of wool, hat, gloves, sweater, with a down vest,. Also a thin Merino wool underlayer which you can't see of course, and wool socks. I walk dogs as part of my living so wool keeps me warm even when I'm wet. I have to go and make a call about my accounting software today yuck. Then it's time to make chicken curry dinner. Happy Thursday all :-).

I hope the new sweaters help keep you warm- layering really helps with insulation.

Nothing much going on here. The school term is rapidly drawing to a close and there is some panicking among the offspring.

Kath....I agree mens stuff is better made and cost less too.

jewels..."ending human trafficking." Interesting topic.

Rita...:0)

DH is remodeling a restaurant that went out of business. Sitting next to the dumpster, for anyone to take(he did get a few things/ in black), they had piles of dishes(ugly ones), a commercial grade food scale, 2 commercial grade microwaves, 2 knife sharpeners, a nice clear glass mixing bowl, big plastic water cups, enameled stock pots, ect.

He should have picked up both microwaves. I'd have given it away or donated it. I went to go look and everything had been thrown into the dumpster and was now dented and broken. What a waste!

I looked up what several items sell for: the scale $99, the microwave $235. So now I have a spare microwave. SCORE!!!!!!!

Chilly and rainy here. It puts me in the mood for cooking. I might even figure out what we'll have for Thanksgiving. I assume everyone would prefer to have tasty stuff, not boring "diet" food, but l know how I get when something gets in my mind, so I have been avoiding thinking about it.

.

I keep trying not to buy any more seeds (new ones. Likely to geminate, unlike those seeds I sent you Nicole!), but I'm not succeeding. And they haven't even come out with next year's seeds. Well, Pinetree (SuperSeeds) sent me a catalog, but other sites still say "sold out". Is it time to see them blooming yet? I mean outside of my imagination.

.
Had a bowl of pork stew and watched to see who would be playing Austin and Buzzy on Jeopardy tomorrow. Any of them would've been good, so I was happy with the outcome. And Tom's final answer. It made me smile. I'm still smiling over it.

Rob....I think growing red Monarda is difficult. I did appreciate the seeds, thank you! Ebay sells seeds this time of year. I just planted giant blue allium & trumpet lilies.....all bulbs, from Brent & Becky's Bulbs.

Hi, DH and I went to Grandparents' Day in grandson's 2nd grade class. We had a great time and GS was happy and excited to show us around. Later we visited with my MIL at her assisted living residence.

Good afternoon!
