Mona that is soo cute! he did a good job i would like to learn how to make stuff like that!

i went back to bed after takign Steven to school and then we went to pick up a meat order at that meat processing place(ken got paid so we can get meat) that was our valentines gift to each other LOL he picked up a flyer while there and when our taxes get back i think he said we are going to stock our freezer! a great deal on steaks and hamburger and stuff tbones even and it works out to be about 3 bucks a pound and at walmart here the tbones are like 14 bucks a pound! and the hamburger the cheapest uckiest one even is almost 4 soo hopefully we will be able to get that next month so
back home now and gotta pack Ken's lunch then he is off to work and i will pick up Steven same old same old will take Steven to rehearsal tonight and that is it
wrist still hurts but is a lot better

[Mona]

Yay Deb! thumbs up for meat.

I have toyed with the idea of buying a half or quarter steer but I have never seriously looked into it. My freezer is always so packed~! can't stop myself from buying the bargains.

That Valentine's Day yard decoration is really elaborate!

[debkeversole]

that is the guy that has enough blowmolds to repaint them for tons o f holidays! i can't figure out where he stores them! but i am in AWE of him!
i don't have enough to repaint any SIGH but i do have 3 rabbits for spring easter ostara!

i think this flyer said 325 pounds of beef for under 900 (can't remember and the flyer still in the van) 24 rib eyes and 24 tbones(don't know what they weight though) and 65 pounds of GOOD hamburger and a bunch of others my freezer is about empty(got 2 whole chickens and some veggies in it ) because of Ken's wreck and i still don't know if it would fit all that but i would like to give it a try! LOL
that would be nice cause we will never get like rib eyes or tbiones any other way KWIM?

too bad Kenny and Ashley can't afford to even divide it 2/3 to us and 1/3 to them that would be good for all of us

[debkeversole]

ack 2 pm gotta go pick up Steven BBL

[chewiegand]

Back from Aldi's. Only ad 3 pounds of strawbs left---I got one--others were a bit smushed. I'm taking a water break and then I have to make the fudge pie and choc covered strawbs.

[Mona]

Glad you got some Chewie! I'll bet strawberries are super popular for VDAY. I checked some out last time I went to teh store but the tops were all white which means they were not ripe, so I passed.

Taking a break! Got a load going in the D/W and hand washed some stuff. Opening up some windows to air out the place. It's hot and stuffy inside, and it's gorgeous and sunny and 50 degrees outside.

[Mona]

Each cat is parked in front of an open window, enjoy the sun.

[Lony]

How about some Baby Carol to make everyone smile. I stole this off of facebook!

[Mona]

OMGosh how cute~! Look at those little pants.

Chewie McBusy Pants.

I guess Melinda has abandoned us for good.

Lucky McCutie pants in her pink trunks.

[Mona]

Melinda will come back. She better!

[Oksue]

Hi everyone. HAPPY VALENTINE DAY!!!!

Eli is napping so I thought I would drop by quickly.
It's going to be shrimp cocktails, lobster and baked
potatoes tonight for our VD dinner.

I'm sure Melinda will be back. She just needs some
away time. Maybe we love all over her too much!!
Come back Melinda.....we can be mean if you want!

Hi to all. Got to run because I hear someone saying NANAAAAA!!!
Have a great evening.
P.S. Lony...I agree. Ice cream is surely like manna from heaven!!
It's food fit for angels I'm sure!

That was my exact thought. Adorable.

[chewiegand]

Focus--so glad that your swimming went well. Great exercise and that's a good kind of sore.

Lony--did you finish the laundry????

Deb--how's the wrist? When is Steven's play?

Sue---dinner sounds yummy! Enjoy.

The pie is in the frig---it tasted fantastic---like an extra creamy mousse. It's made with silken tofu.

Lucky--how's it going?

Mona--how's the bp??? So you have a few days off???

[chewiegand]

I sent my boys to the grandparents with a box of chocolates for each of them.

[chewiegand]

Melinda--come back soon. Miss you bunches.

Brilliant idea!!! I should so do this. I hate my legs too. So many ugly broken veins and some varicose......sad sad sight.

Awwwww, that is sooo sweet!

I went to Bible Study, then ran errands around town. I decided to give each of my kiddos a devotional, the same one yet different versions so we can tell whose is whose. But just so that they wouldn't think "Oh, wow, yeah, thanks mom, just what I always wanted." followed by an eyeroll......I also went in search of a couple additional treats. I got oldest a 1 lb. bag of dark chocolate holiday M&Ms, ds a 1 lb. bag of peanut butter M&Ms, and youngest a container of raspberry Icebreakers as she is having trouble chewing and she has been pointing these out to me. Then a card with a $5 bill as I couldn't decide where to get a little gift card from (using cash was a money saver for me as I was going to get $10 gift cards. Shhhhhhh! They don't know that they lost out on $5!!) I got dh a pkg of Ferrero Rochers, a short sleeved red plaid dress shirt and a $25 gift card to Red Lobster (I am thinking that will be a Friday night during Lent date night.)

I am fixing salmon, roasted butternut squash and roasted brussels sprouts and I have Coconut and also some Red Velvet cupcakes for dessert. I sampled the Coconut one and it was divine!

Then i hit up Sam's Club, Walgreens and CVS. We were completely out of milk. Came home and unloaded groceries, visited with oldest on her late afternoon lunch break, wrapped gifts, then visited with ds, took youngest to dance, stopped and checked the mail and am now sitting here in peace and quiet checking in with all you ladies.

There you have it, Mona, that is pretty much what I have done today. Are you feeling better yet with the increased dosage? Or does it take a while to take effect?

I love those days when there is a gentle breeze blowing so I can air the stink and germs out of the house. I have clean dishes in the dishwasher too but I am lazy and waiting for someone else to unload them. I do not like to unload the dishwasher or the dish drainer ( I do unload the dish drainer most days, but, I Don't Like It!)

[kcmama]

Chewie, I am sure that I can safely speak for all of us and say that we would like to have that chocolate pie recipe.

Lony, little Carol is so sweet. How is our Little Lony doing? Got any recent pics of her?

Focus, glad you had a good time swimming and found your fears to be for naught. Now you won't be stressed out each time you go to the pool!

Okay, I am heading to the kitchen to start cooking. Dh and oldest just came in and I am sending dh to go pick up youngest from ballet.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO YOU ALL!

P.S. Deb, how do I get rid of my Christmas lights and get a new ticker?
