Good morning Miss P, thanks for the morning laugh! I needed it. Back to the normal cold grind here on Long Island, it never misses a beat. There is no way for me to catch up around here, sorry ladies. Maybe over the weekend but my computer time is going to be limited. Vacation was nice but I must admit I was very disappointed this round. Our flight was fine going out, Fort Lauderdale airport is a dump. Confussion with our rent-a-car then off we went. Drove around for an hour or two, grabbed a late breakfast at Denny's followed by some more driving around (sounds like fun). The temp was low 70's when we arrived and got cloudy as the day continued. Went to the hotel at 1:00, hoping for an early check in but the room was still ocupied and clearly not ready. So we drove some more and did a small grocery run for some basics. Got back at 3:00 and the room was being finished up. I guess we were in the room by 3:40, once we looked around and unpacked we decided we needed to relax but too chilly to head to the pool so it was a On Demand movie with some cheese and crackers, a beer for Bill and wine for me. We walked to a local resturant for dinner, right on the A1A strip of Fort Lauderdale. We had to wear our NY winter jackets, that is how windy and chilly it was. Saturday Bill met a friend and went to the race track. I relaxed in the morning and around 11:30 my sister and the baby got there. We enjoyed hot tea on the bedroom balcony, enjoyed the little sun we could find. We took the baby out for a nice walk along the beach sidewalk with him bundled and us in our jackets (this was pathetic). Later we headed to the mall to walk around some more. There was no beach time or pool time again. Sunday Bill and I strolled the strip again, with just sweat shirts on...........then we drove around. Getting the drift of my Florida vacation.......lol. We had a nice dinner at a local place called Shooters. Its a bar/resturant right on the Intercoastal. We sat by the dock and watched some of those mega million yachts move around and we watched the Superbowl from one of many screens. Monday we got up early and were down by the pool at 10:00, we sat on lounge chairs for about an hour. I was covered in a towel.......looking for the sun to peek through. We headed back up at 11:30 to get ready to leave. We checked out at 12:30, we had requested a late check out hoping to catch some sun. All this time Katie was home sick in NY. My mom took her to the doctor Monday morning, she has an upper respitory infection and they put her on antibiotics. We tried to get a flight back earlier but they are all stop overs and not worth the extra money. So we stayed put and drove around some more until it was time to return the rent-a-car. We had hoped to enjoy a nice meal at the airport while waiting but all the food was fast food. Our flight home was not until 7:30. Noisey flight (people can be very inconsiderate) and a bumpy flight too. Glad to be home even though we got snow yesterday.............


Work was busy trying to catch up which I expected. I kept Katie home yesterday giving her 2 days worth of antibiotics before sending her back. I shoveled some snow in the driveway, had my nails done and ran to the grocery store for a few items. Played catch up around here with all the laundry and chatted with my sisters. Today we shoveled out. Bill had to take my Explorer the doors were stuck in the stationwagon. Everyone is gone, my laundry is swirling away and I need to throw a beef stew together in the crockpot and then head to the office. I will try and check back later. Hope you all have a good day.

Good Morning,

Thank you Patty for the laugh this morning! I'm particularly enjoying the first one and I think I may hang up a sign at work and at home with it on it.

I'm pulling out my extra large big girl panties this morning and putting them on and then finding some type of tool to tune up my attitude although at present I'm more inclined to find the tool and use it on someone. I was annoyed beyond belief at a project that was thrust on me at 3:15 yesterday afternoon and which kept me at the office past 5 and then to see everyone being told they could march out of the office before 5 and me left to handle the phones and this project which at that point I would have gladly thrown up into the air. My boss ranting and raving about some lost document which no one saw except him which means he lost it. And my H who is probably very fortunate at this point that the ground is frozen and that the snow isn't deep enough. Knowing that I'm crabby and frustrated why do you make a completely thoughtless and obnoxious remark and then tell me he was "just kidding"? Why? I already know the answer- because boys are stupid!

I was determined,however, that I would play with my Wii Fit last night. Although I might have been leaving well enough alone. My litte "me" logged in at age 65 and I got hit in the head so many times with hula hoops that I'm surprised I don't have a headache! But in the end I still ace those lunges and outlasted Sven in a plank challenge-although maybe he was just trying to be nice!

It is icy, cruncy and cold this morning and looking at my car through the basement window I'm going to have to get an early start to deice it. Looks like it's going to be that way for the next few days before it's back in the 40's and 50's for the weekend.

Lori-how's school going? Miss you around here. Margie-woke up thinking about you, hope all is well.

So it's a new day and I have my x-large bloomers ready to go and see if I can make some lemonade out of lemons! Enjoy your day and hope that it's a Wonderful Wednesday in your neck of the woods!
