YOU AND ME - oh my goodness! How did you do that? So you won't have been able to work!
So sorry you are dealing with this! Healing thoughts your way!
Trying to deal with replacing a computer and our phone, as well--Gah as Nat and Lynn would say!
We have been jettisoned kicking and screaming into the smart phone age. I think we are ready, though.
Doggie got clipped today. It seems he probably has an anal infection, so back to the vet again.
I must - Hope everyone sleeps well!
Good luck with the yogurt! Let us know how it turns out! A friend of mine did it and she said it was great for her family. Is it true that you need yogurt to make yogurt (for the bacterial culture)?Quote:

DH hates raisins, so I returned them. The store weighed them and deducted what I thought was a lot considering we only ate about four grapes of the bunch. The second occasion, it was apples. They were extremely large and crisp skin, but rotten on the inside. This is the first time I've ever been disappointed by the produce at this major grocery chain.
Sweet Sparrow Yes for the first batch I need 1/2 cup of store bought yogurt, if we like it for future batches I can just use 1/2 a cup of my homemade yogurt.
Morning! Sunny day here and it's not snowing for a change! Received a card and GC for dinner out from my sister yesterday (she is spoiling me) so thinking dinner out tonight if both kids are available. If not then we will figure something out since I didn't put the roast in the crockpot this morning. Hope to get some house stuff done tonight but will see. Hard to get stuff done during the work week other then regular kitchen stuff (dinner/lunches/dishes)and laundry. I guess if I am keeping up on that and not doing takeout then I am doing ok.
Good morning folks!
A lady from our church came by last night to pick up the single bed and mattress that I had said she could have for her soon-to-be-in-a-big-boy -bed son.
She gave us a GC for a dinner out which was very sweet and un-necessary but will come in very handy!
Clean up today for the open house on Sat. as we are celebrating sil' s birthday tomorrow at the nursing home with her mom.
Tidied up the bathroom closet and came across a bagful of personal care products to take to the women's shelter. Also have some food for the food bank and some empty bottles for the OSPC.
I also have some socks to take to the Salvation Army and some other food for my brother.
So, a running around kind of day.
Keep warm everyone! It looks like the east coast of the States and maybe the Maritimes are in for a whopper of a storm!

You and me-sorry to hear about your wrist.
Sweet Sparrow-not sure how much of the night sky I will see in the huge city of BA but I will pay attention-admittedly it goes dark at 8 and we have been going to bed by 9 as were tired from travel and my BIL gets up early for work.
Today we did a hop on hop off bus( quite pricey) and then stopped for lunch and a free art museum which DD enjoyed. Anyway we got a good overview of Buenos Aries which is huge-some beautiful architecture-hot and humid today and going up to 36 or 37 tomorrow so it will be a pool or air conditioned shopping day I think.
lizzie, glad you are having a blast. Have you been out dancing yet?

Sorry for my absence. My computer was 6yrs old and causing problems. We knew that it would need to be replaced, but last week it suddenly started to make a bad smell. We replaced my entire case, copied over my old hard drive, and just got it back last night.
Here's a bit of an update.
I have a political fundraiser on February 4 that I am in charge of. I have 55 tickets sold and I have over 30 people who want me to call them back at the end of the month. I have silent auction items that have been donated by 7 individuals and small businesses. It looks like the evening will be quite a success.
I received a phone call from MIL on Tuesday telling us that dh's grandpa died. He lived in Calgary. One of his daughters had quit her job to spend the last month with him while he was in the hospital. Dh questions the quality of medical treatment that he had received. We are waiting to find out funeral arrangements before we are able to determine if we will be able to attend.
My artist/photographer friend who is very sick with cancer in a Saskatoon hospital is still with us. Prayers continue to be requested. I have also mentioned an older political lady who was experiencing memory problems. She went to the hospital earlier this month and they did an MRI in Regina. She has lesions on her brain that are causing her severe memory problems and headaches. The lesions are caused by cancer that originated somewhere else in her body. Family is still determining what they want to do at this time. She is receiving care at our local hospital.
On the financial side of things I am still cooking meals at home, shopping sales, special offers, points, AM promotions, etc.
-yeah daughter/hubby are coming to sleep over this sat and visit us -to show us their lovely Italy pictures (I cant wait to see her and him)
-so asked my daughter-in-law to come by with ashlyn at 5.00 so we can all visit ,then we will have supper together when my son gets off at 6.00
