My sister, Cee, called me earlier today to let me know that she managed to pick up the things I needed to make all I want to make for Thursday. So sweet of her. She's coming over tomorrow to give me a hand with a few things. It also includes the one surprise that I am planning on making to take with me.
The Beast was going to do something with a group from his church tomorrow but he's not sure now. He says he's feeling way too tired although it's 8pm and he's headed to bed.
Baron has been doing something really funny today. The Beast has been using this one heating blanket under him for his back (and says it helps). But he found it today, on the floor next to his side of the bed, with Baron on it. Baron had even turned it on (it has a big button you press to turn it on and the light goes on to the heat setting you want). Then, when he picked it up, shook it out, the Beast put it under all the covers on his side of the bed. Later, he went into the bedroom and guess who had pulled back all the covers over it and was laying on it again? You got it! Baron...and he had turned it on again!!!! It only stays on for three hours at a time but it was set at the same setting Baron had turned it on earlier.....
We had a nice dinner tonight. Crunchy oven roasted fish, Texas toast and beets. Then we had a slice of cheese cake for dessert. It may not sound like much but it was delicious and more than enough for our appetites. As we get older, it seems like we do more snacking (I try to keep some good snacks in the house...healthy ones) than big meals. Neither one of us is really all that active once the weather gets cold. Today it was cold! It was just 26 degrees when we got up this morning around 7:30am but it only warmed up to 39 degrees for our high! At least we don't have any snow or icy road warnings but that's the only good thing about this weather. Brrrr!
I have my warm jammies on already and turned the baseboard heater on so my room here stays warm until I am ready for bed. The goofy Beast was like a little kid tonight at dinner. He actually knocked over a full glass of milk as he sat down to eat. What a mess. I laughed and said that I thought these kind of days were over since our kids grew up and left home. I had to throw the tablecloth into the washer and clean off the placemats. The Beast mopped up the floor after dinner since he just grabbed the tablecloth to throw in the washer without thinking about the fact that it hadn't absorbed all the milk. So there was a big line of drips all through the dining room area and the kitchen leading to the washing machine.
I just went and threw everything into the dryer so I can fix the table up before I go to bed. I found the Beast up watching a basketball game that he forgot was on tonight. I said to him...*I thought you were tired!* He told me he just wanted to see how the game went since it's two teams he likes. I didn't check to see who it was so I can't even tell you who they are.
It's 32 degrees outside right now but it's not supposed to get much lower and will go up to around 56 tomorrow for our high. At least Baron won't be running outside and quickly running back in...LOL. He hates the cold, too, but then he's a short-haired dog and no thick undercoat to help keep him warm.. I'm thinking of crocheting him a kind of jacket for this winter weather. I just have to get out and get some good, heavy yarn...preferably a nice wool yarn. I took some measurements and just have to figure out if I want to use buttons for closure or make some tabs or just ties. I'll decide that when I pick up the yarn and are actually ready to make him something. I have a pattern somewhere in my pattern folder for making some for dogs. I'll just have to check the adjustments for it.
Time to get this posted. I still have to set my hair. It's so damn fine that I have no *lift* to it and it's slicked down like it's flax. At least putting it into rollers gives me some curl and body (with a little bit of help from some foam stuff). My regular curl looks like finger waving and I hate it. It's just *not me*, if you know what I mean.
My bff told me she sent me something and I should watch the mail. She is such a nut. But we didn't get anything in our mail today (and that's really unusual) so I guess I just have to wait and see what she sent me this time. It could be just one of her cute get-well cards like she sent me once before (after my last surgery on my legs). We share a weird sense of humor on those things. I'm sending her a couple pictures of the kids as soon as I can get the Beast to get more stamps.
Ta-ta for now and be good. Stay warm and dry. Drive carefully and watch out if you are going to any of the Black Friday sales. No sale is so fantastic that it's worth getting hurt for! ***Hugs***
CORRECTION: It's Monday night! Duh! He's been watching football, not basketball.
