The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

Dog is in the doghouse, so to speak. Early this morning, I was taking a few items out of a Christmas storage box and put them on the floor in the livingroom, for just a minute while I went to the closet for a hook. (I have this small, old knitted wreath from my grandmother, that I put in my kitchen each Christmas.)

Well, don't you know that the DOG decided to grab the little knitted wreath off the floor and proceeds to run upstairs. Caught the varmint out of the corner of my eye and I bolted after him. But, there is a raised area from the back room to the kitchen. My foot caught underneath the raised area, and I went airborne and crashed down on the floor (my knees took most of the hit), and just missed smashing my face into the tile. Got up, limping. I called up to hubs upstairs to get the knitted wreath away from the thief!!! Now I have two huge bruises on both knees, they're slightly swollen, and I pulled a muscle in my right leg and right foot. Dog is getting coal in his stocking for Christmas!

Sorry about the fall. Tile floors are not forgiving. My hip still hurts from when I fell over a week ago.

I hope you are getting warmer weather. I'm many pages behind. I will catch up, I hope!

Thank you by tomorrow afternoon things should start to warm

We went to church on Christmas, where we sang religious Christmas carols.

Same here but they always had one fun song for the kids

Sending a little extra pixie dust your way?

Yep. My kids had some very sad news yesterday. A mutual friend of theirs for a long time was killed in a car crash the day before yesterday. Don't know still what happened but it was 3 cars, 3 dead, 1 car driver OK cause the semi didn't run over that particular car like the other two-just not enough time I hear for the semi to avoid the collision ahead. They were in route to a basketball game, her being a coach. School was cancelled yesterday. Horrible.

I hate winter.

I'm so sorry. So sad around the Holidays.

Thanks, I pretty much expect to go deaf in my later years. That happened to my Grandma. Will have hubby look into these.

You could always get a cochlear implant of that happens. I bet the tech will advance a lot by then.

So . . . on a Saturday morning your lunatic, insomniac neighbor decides to snowblow the sidewalk?? Did I read that correctly??!! I can understand not getting up, throwing on coat and going out to yell at the loser; but maybe someday when it's daylight, and you see him (or her) out there, perhaps just casually mention how disruptive it was . . .

Reminds me of a night a few years ago when one of the neighbors (across the way--set back away from the street) took out one of his toys to play with at about 3 AM as well. (He works for the DPW and has all kinds of trucks, etc. at his disposal.) It was some sort of tractor thing (front loader?) and he decided to knock down trees and brush on his land -- at 3 AM. The noise would wake up the dead from the "pruning" he was doing, and of course, the continual backing up of the vehicle . . .beep . . .beep . . . beep . .

So, hubs politely mentioned to him (about 2 weeks later) that he might want to do that sort of thing in the daytime, from now on.

I guess we have one good thing about being in our HOA, no noise before 9a.m. and no noise after 10 p.m.

Oh goodness. Miss a few days and fall 500 posts behind.

Me too! I'm doing my best to catch up!

So my daughter put up her new tree for the first time all be herself. I said your tree, do what you want. She's just missing the tree topper which Santa is bringing. Do you think she put enough on it? She is so proud she took a picture to share. And the lights blink too.

Very pretty, she did a great job.

I love this, thanks for the laugh today.

So I suppose that it would create little to no sympathy if I complained about it being 37 degree here right now, eh!

Spoiler: Wait...

Now the definite sympathy clincher... windchill = 35 degrees.

I'm getting out that tiny violin again....

 

[betty rose]

Out for me today. Have a great evening everyone. I'm making some fudge. I love fudge!

Thanks everyone for the graduation congratulations! Graduation went well. I didn't trip and sang on key, so all is well.

And the highlight may be that the recession was to Star Wars music. From the end of A New Hope.

Temperatures rising. -6 feels like -22. Woot

It makes you strong and hearty! You know you're in good physical shape when you can continue on with your daily routine in those types of temperatures. So be happy!
