We had BIG storms & tornados roll through in the early evening but no real problems here, just lots of rain.  There was tornado damage in a small town we go through when we travel to Tulsa - houses destroyed, but no injuries that I've heard of.  So awful when people lose their homes, and all in a matter of a few seconds...This is feeling like Oklahoma.


Do you ever get a "craving"?
A real, gotta-have-it-or-I'm gonna-die sort of craving?
This doesn't happen to me very often but it did tonight...All of a sudden I just felt like I was gonna explode if I didn't have an Ice Cream Float - you thought I was gonna say "a salad" didn't you???  Anyway, my sweet husband put on his shoes and drove to the store to get ice cream so I could have my Float. . . Maybe it was because I fixed him a FANTASTIC meatloaf for dinner - one of his favorites!  I also fixed Scalloped Potatoes which Princess turned up her nose at.  She said they tasted like "babyfood" - how would she know that??  Goofy teenagers!


She (Princess) has her formal for the Winter Dance.  She put on her new heels with the dress and modeled for me.  So grown up.  She is so good at walking in VERY TALL heels - don't know how she does it.  The dance is Feb. 6.  She is going with a guy I have only seen from a distance at this point.  This is a "new guy". so dh is gonna have to look him over to find something wrong with him before long.


I have a new Granddog (Kramer is an Uncle) - "Roxie" she's a teeny, tiny little white puff of a dog (similar to Pam's); 8 wks old.  The Granddoll's rotate holding her constantly so her paws have seldom been onto carpet.  She is gonna have 3 little mom's.  I hope to have a photo to share before long.


I feel like I have been in this house with a Cold that has dragged on  for-ev-er.  I even had to cancel a shopping day on Monday.  Dh & I keep passing this back & forth. . . I know where Tiger Woods is.  I know how to solve the Health Care problem.  I know how to resolve the issues between Jay & Conan. . .I KNOW I have been in the house waaaay too long.  I ALSO KNOW I have got to get my "groove" back, or buy stock in the Kleenex company.   "uh-choo!"


I could ramble on,
but I won't.  *smile*

Deb lol, loved the ramble. Can't wait to see pics of the new Grandog, the dress, and hear more about the "new" guy. *GASP* she turned her nose up at the potatoes???!! Good grief what's wrong with these youngins taste buds??? My grands turn their nose up at meatloaf! Which by the way I also cooked tonight too. But I cooked rutabagas for dh.


You didn't have to send those storms to us. But too late now. I hear them outside and I have to go to work in them...yuck! Hope we don't lose our lights.


I hope you and dh get over this crappy cold. Not sure what to tell you.


((hugs))

Oh wow! Yesterday I just HAD TO HAVE a chocolate malt shake!! Had to, had to, had to. DH and I went to Friendly's for lunch and I had a grilled cheese sandwich (yum) and the malted. I poured some out of the metal mixer thingy and a huge glop of chocolate ice cream plopped in my soda glass and splatted all over the table. DH said he couldn't take me anywhere. The guy at the next table handed me a bunch of napkins to sop it up with. Anyway, I drank every last little bit of it - except what landed on the table. yummy, yummy, yummy I got ice cream in my tummy!! Gail

I think everyone has had the cravings...Mine is for Schwan's ice cream. Then I go for more than a year or so without any then I can't take it any longer..There is not a frozen low fat, low calorie, good for you anything out there that can crush that craving..


We had such a cool summer and warm fall then since right before Christmas we have had the crappiest weather. And the Weather Channel making up new words for our weather.....like instead of Hoar Frost which we all know what it is they now call it Freezing Fog....lol........But I shouldn't be suprised they moved us from where we used to be when I was growing up in the Mid West to the Upper Plains...lol....Does that mean what we always heard when we were growing up that Omaha would someday be a sea port?.......lol


Hey, I know what to do about Jay and Conan.......I never watch them..... I haven't watched the Tonight Show really since Johnny left. I did once in a while watch on Monday after the monolog to hear the Headlines but the rest I never thougth was entertaining or funny...... I don't care about Tiger and I know a woman could fix the Health Care. I have a thing about the commercials sticking in my head.....They are not as good as they used to be but for some reason they just stay with me...maybe because they are so annoying.....lol.


Feel better soon.


Trying to stay warm.

 


Have a nice day !.
