What's everyone up to today?

gidgetgh — Sun, 16 Oct 2016 13:17:48 GMT

I've been kind of "low energy" the past few days, so today is a stay at home, slug day for me. I need some rest.

We just put a Hormel pork roast in the oven for lunch and I'm going to sit on the floor of our office and wrap my sister's birthday gift and wrap some Christmas gifts.

Not planning to leave the house for any reason. Today is a day of rest and fun.

Looking forward to watching Poldark and Madame Secretary tonight.

I'm not planning on leaving the house either. I need to do a little housekeeping this morning and get organized for the work week. Then watching football this afternoon.

Like you I'm not doing much of anything today either. DH will get home today around 4P from spending a weekend just outside of Milwaukee for the OSU vs Wisc football game. I didn't go because somebody needed to be here to care for Wallace our poodle. DH is ALWAYS in for this roadtrip with absolutely no regard of the dog nor the fact that he knows I won't go because of Wal. We/I don't have anybody to watch him or let him outside while we would be gone, nor do I board him because I know this dog inside and out and can't imagine boarding for 3 days would go well at all.

So it's really a nice day here right now though the weather guys are calling for some rain late day. I did my laundry yesterday so good to go there. DId not do DH's, not going to either. He's forbidden to do mine and his is usually so dirty from his work that I won't do his either. Knowing all that he did on his 3-day vaca, he'll be a huge slug eating aspirin for the rest of the day - whatever DH. Hope you had a good time and oh by the way, did you remember calling me last night just before the game started? I'm betting no.

Just finished my morning cup of coffee and yogurt. Lunch will be chicken pot pie and I will be watching some football. It will be a lazy day.

My day started at 7:30 am thinking I was going to church but I had a dead car battery. Called AAA and everything is good now. I think I better spend the rest of the day at home!!

We all seem to be on the same vibe ... heavy rain and thunder woke me, so I got up and sat in my comfy chair by the window and just ... sat and watched it rain. Nothing wakes DH this early on the weekend. Saw that he had taken out the fixings for chilli ... his specialty; and a strawberry-rhubarb pie from a new local bakery. Couldn't wait ... ate a slice. Now I'll make coffee.

Weather permitting, later today we'll watch the Bears and the Cubs (his team).

@gidgetgh Funny that you of all posters should ask! I'm going to Talbot's! I have a $15 "check" (coupon) they sent me to use by Wednesday, and I think their sales are better over the weekend then during the week, so I want to go today to see what's on sale on which to apply my coupon for even more savings! I'm also meeting a friend at Starbucks for coffee. That's more than usual that I have going on!

@SoX- I'm in Atlanta and we haven't had rain in weeks and weeks and weeks. A few light scattered drizzly things around early this morning, not by our house but they're gone now and it's sunny out. We're still in the mid 80's here and in a drought. I usually am not a fan of rainy days (especially if it's cold out), but boy do we need rain.

@Pearlee- I used my coupon/check thing on Tuesday. My best friend drove over from about an hour and a half away and we went to Talbots and then lunch. Couldn't let that coupon thing go unused! I bought a great sweater in gray. Also used my birthday 15% off extra coupon with it. I bought something else also when we went, but absolutely can't remember what. Oh yeah.... just went and checked- a popover blouse that I bought in one color a few weeks ago. Bought it in another color. Just loved it.

@gidgetgh ...

Gidget ... it's dark and dreary, but somehow that just goes with a rainy day ... and cool to boot. The leaves are coming down with a vengeance ... and it's really too early for that ... they haven't changed color.

Hope you get your much-needed rain ... it's always something, isn't it?

Well, since the supposed HUGE STORM never happened here on the west coast other than rain, thankgoodness!!!.... I have power and will go to the store and stock up on food I did not want to buy last week worried that my power would be off for days and I would end up throwing it all out.

As soon as I finish my oatmeal, I'm going to shut down my pc and head for the airport. Going to Vegas for a few days! Crowds will be large due to the Stones and the debate all happening while I'm there. Oh well, as long as I can find an open slot machine I will be happy.

We're going out to lunch and maybe do some shopping.

I did all my "chores" yesterday so I could have a free day today. LOL

Just got back from Flood torn North Carolina. Today am just reflecting how lucky I have it...in fact how lucky most are having it .....in contrast where strangers are expected to help and do help strangers in some areas there. So am just having my humble version of thanksgiving today and reflecting on the devastation I just saw....that many have already forgotten.

It's rainy and dreary here. I'm still in my PJs, watching Hallmark movies.

I made breakfast, fried potatoes, eggs and bacon, paid bills, did 2 loads of laundry.

I hope to wrap some presents, maybe work on some photo colleges. .

I'm looking at my Malibu Pro Chair, looking is the operative word. LOL I haven't touched it in weeks.

PJs and movies is winning now.
