If we are not going out, Friday is pizza night for us!

My drink of choice is Pepsi on ice!

I had a few fritos, and then we will eat some salad before the pizza.

It is rainy and cool tonight, so I am happy to stay in. I am going to watch the Philadelphia Flower Show preview on TV, and then consider if I can get there this weekend or next. Also the ballet Romeo and Juliet just opened, and I would like to see that as well. FInally, husband will be skiing up in the Pocono mountains tomorrow with a few buddies since the snow is still holding out.

I hope everybody has something fun to do every once in a while!

My Lenten dinner of tuna noodle casserole ( gluten free) is in the oven. My salad is made.

I am drinking my usual...unsweetened ice tea.

i don't eat anything after dinner, but my husband has a bowl of ice cream almost every night ...unless I baked something...I didn't.

Friday night must be pizza night. Just ordered a pizza and time is an hour and 1/2. We did just eat little bit of taco salad DH made today so at least we aren't real hungry waiting for our pizza.

I am drinking unsweet Gold Peak ice tea. @sunshine45 Tangeray with limes used to be my drink of choice too but now my stomach does not like it. I never liked tonic tho, too bitter, I liked it with either gingerale or seven up.

We are going to have a good weekend. We are meeting our first GreatGrandchild tomorrow at son's house. She is 2 weeks old. I think it will probably be a combo birthday dinner for DH too tho that was not mentioned, but is probably why GD picked that day to travel home. Granddaughter lives 2 hours away. Son could not go see her til now as he had shingles. They are now resolved, so he is also meeting her for the first time. It will be a very good day, although quite emotional I'm sure.

The week she was born son and DDIL took the week off to go down and see and help with new baby, but couldn't because he had shingles and can't be around pregnant women or babies.

Drinking ice cold San Pellegrino. Reheated 2 slices of pizza for dinner.

Waiting for Snowmageddon but it's turning out to be Flurrymageddon. 😉

I have a little while longer, before it's 5:00. I plan on having a Segrams Calypso Colada with my dinner tonight of Spicy Beef Fried rice and Crispy Honey Tempura Shrimp.

I forgot to add what I will be watching. I will be watching several episodes of 9-1-1.

@FancyPhillyshopper

it is a miserable chilly night here in the baltimore area also.

we had a mix earlier, some rain, and more heavy rain and winds expected in a few hours. just one of the reasons why i decided to stay home.

I am presently drinking Sprite. DH is making dinner - his special baked salmon and baked sweet potatoes. Yummy and healthy.

Tomorrow, weather permitting, my DD and I are planning to go to a large craft show. She is taking needle felting classes, and her teacher was kind enough to give her two tickets. This woman makes the most beautiful creations, gorgeous animals

crafted from wool that should be in a museum. Of course, a few hundred $ well spent. I will look and drool!

@sunshine45 , Oh, for the grandmother’s name - I am MIMI. The fun one! Quite popular in my area. And congratulations!

My oldest grandchild is 15 now, a high school freshman, and I think a bit over 6 feet tall. Little sis is 10. Enjoy, as the years go so quickly.

sunshine45 — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 00:37:22 GMT

@PamfromCT

MIMI is definitely one of the names i am considering.

the other grandmother already chose her name.....OMA.

The name of it is Seagrams Escape Variety pack.

Just Google it and you will see them. It's a blue box and it's the bottles.

Went to a bar & grill for a fish fry. Now we're home sipping some white wine and waiting for a new episode of Blue Bloods.

I don't do drinks on a regular basis--haven't had one in years. And I don't care for wine at all.

It's water, tea or espresso for me.

Fish sticks (Friday), tartar sauce and water. So boring. Watching some game shows and basketball. Toledo beat Ball State and now it's Bowling Green and Ohio U with Ohio beating the socks off of BG. Going to bed soon. See ya all tomorrow.

@sunshine45, I'm ready for that drink now!
