Good morning, it is morning isn't it? With my dh's crazy hours it's hard to tell. I seem to be getting up about the same time but getting less done.

Horrible rains in Illinois again. For once it missed us.

Send it here. We're still 10 inches down in rainfall over the past two years--not good. (Drought conditions now from MA up through southern NH and southeast seacoast of Maine.)

Youngest DD's giant burrito and SIL's beef tacos. They were different than mine and even more spicy...he had already finished one and was feelin' it. He managed to finish the second one, but, ended up givin' me his third to put with all the other leftovers in a to-go box...!

It was yet another wonderful birthday with my awesome family...!

Oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and I wish you many, many more!!!!!!! What a wonderful family celebration you had last night!

Its easy to cheat on surveys.. like Disney has been caught a few times (where no negative option was allowed to be set, or they just simply ignore your choices if you set a negative tone.. or worse.. misleading text to push you somehow always say something positive out of a negative)

Their surveys are useless. Many people, myself included, have been unceremoniously cut off for not giving the responses they want. I recall one time I had come out of a gift shop in DHS, and a CM came up to me with a tablet and asked a few questions about my "experience" . . . the survey abruptly ended shortly after I mentioned I couldn't find any postcards for sale in the shop. He asked me if I spoke to a CM about this. I said no, and before I could even explain the reason why (not enough CMs in the store, and the few there were ringing up purchases at the registers), he said o.k. and took off!

It also might depend upon Hubby. He has been asked to go to Africa to teach a seminar for a couple weeks possibly in 2018. If he goes I'd like to go with

Wow! That would be a very exciting trip--kinda like Animal Kingdom--but, in the big leagues!!

 

[MinnieM123]

@betty rose , so glad you're back home safe and sound!

That was crazy about the fugitive running around your neighborhood, though. I hope they caught him.

Happy birthday! Looks like you had a delicious celebration.

Are you going to go see it? Hubby really wants to see it. His sister's decided to go see it together in Chicago and didn't invite my hubby (their brother) despite his long conversation with them about wanting to see it if it came to Chicago.

We're going to see it when it comes to Cleveland.

Send it here. We're still 10 inches down in rainfall over the past two years--not good. (Drought conditions now from MA up through southern NH and southeast seacoast of Maine.)

It's been raining/drizzling on and off over the past 36 hours here. Tomorrow night has a possible chance of icy mix. Too soon!!!

I've never had chicken and a waffle together--not sure if I'd like that combo. But it is aggravating when they raise prices on something that you like. At least if they raised prices, but the food was the same, it wouldn't be so bad. But when they cut back AND charge MORE, that's obnoxious!

Mmm chicken and waffles! I like to make it with boneless fried chicken br-east (or when I'm more health concious grilled chicken) but my ex makes it with regular fried chicken. Now I'm hungry!

The first ten things on my daughter's Christmas list are Lego something or other. She just got four Lego Friends (not tv show Friends) sets for her birthday. MY BIL works for Rubbermaid and gave her a 31 gallon tote last Christmas for storage. After Christmas this year that tote will be almost full to the top.

It's good to have a day off from baseball. Grocery shopping is on my family's agenda today.

Yep, that circle of life...Lake Michigan was lower by quite a bit for several years. One would have thought the lake was empty. Then for several years now in a row we have had lots of big rains. Now the Lake is above where she should be. Now you'd think the Lake is going to swallow the surrounding states. We can get 3-4" of rain out of single big storm so 10 inches over two years of rainfall doesn't seem to be that much.
