@MinnieM123 congrats on your new job!

Thank you! Like I said, I had the effect of the Full Moon yesterday in my favor!!

I buy Advil in the Giant economy size at Sam's Club.

I buy everything in the economy size, it's not really a choice

Yep, but that full cold moon tonight started out looking awesome tonight as it was rising. The moon was masked by naked tree branches and was so awesome as I was sitting at a redlight. I would have snapped a pic but sadly it I was viewing it between the pillars of a Speedway Gas Station. That would have taken a heck of a lot of cropping.

Congrat's on swinging a new position at the Hospital! Woot! So do you get to keep the same benefits, vacation seniority etc.? So happy this is all working out for you as the holidays approach.

Thanks for the congrats! Yes, I keep same salary, benefits and all the rest. It's a big weight off my shoulders, and my stress level this month is finally dropping.

 

[MinnieM123]

It is 3 degrees here-so far.

now 2 freak'n degrees

Had to drop my kid tonight, first time this season the cold air made my lungs kinda hurt...sucidoodles.

Advance notice: mark your calendar for this Friday. It will be the first time that I'll mention that the cold weather will be too cold. Friday morning, we're projected for temps (I assume some of this has to be wind chill) of negative 25 . . . That will be only day I won't like winter. Got it? ONE day, kids. Enjoy.

So is there any Jack and the Christmas Tree stories?

He's not interested in the tree at all. When I was decorating it on Sunday, he just sat there and stared with an odd look on his face. Then he walked away after a while. Must have chalked it up to stupid human activity.

Congrats, well done! I hope it's a fun group with lots of yummy healthy snacks.

Thanks, Figgy!! Yes, it is a really fun group--I actually know all of them, so that's a big plus right there!!

 

[MinnieM123]

No it's not! 0 outside= me staying inside 100=me on the deck with a mojito

You can still enjoy a mojito in zero degree weather as well. You may want to enjoy it indoors, though.

It's not the same, mojitos are strictly a summer drink with fresh mint from my garden.

See even you have at least one complaint about the cold where as I've never complained about heat

Can you use mint extract? They sell little bottles of that usually in the bakery aisle.

Or in a heated pool

It's not the same, frozen sort of works but again not the same

Oh, o.k. I never had a mojito, so I didn't realize.

I was really polite on the phone and it was a second DWI before the same judge in the same town It's a small town and everybody knows first timers get state minimums but show up a second time and the book gets thrown at you. Lawyer was trying to get a change of venue

2 DWIs? You deserve to have the book thrown at you if you get 2! As if the first one wasn't bad enough? I wouldn't have lent them the money either.

DD is home sick from school today. Well, not so much sick as just not feeling well. I think it's stress and she just needs a day off, so I kept her home. We made Tostadas and watched the movie Tini, which was on the Disney Channel here on Saturday and we recorded it. Nice relaxing day.
