February 2017 $50 Your Way Giveaway!!
Congratulations goes out to Debra G, the winner of my first winner of 2017! Debra requested a Amazon Gift Card. Have fun shopping Debra!!!
January 2017 seemed to fly by. I know I say this all the time but………. danggggggggg time is going SO FAST!!! My postcard MYSTERY is still a mystery. I received postcards in 2017 scattered throughout the months, no one ever fessed up. They stopped as mysteriously as they started. My suspect list consists of my oldest Daughter Selena. Son-in-law Dan. Or gal pal Sherry!! NO ONE ever fess up!! These mysterious postcards arrive in the mail with one or two lines written out for a song that I hate! I HATE the song!! The postcard picture and lyrics are just enough to get that song playing in my head again. For DAYS!!! The plan is brilliant. It’s funny. The cards are postmarked from different states and COUNTRIES!?!? Still a funny, brilliant gag. And just thinking about it… makes the song play in my head. Brilliant joke. Brilliant.
The beginning of January I was at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) speaking at the ZMODO booth. It was amazing. AMAZING!! From a fully created 3D car to 3D pancakes! There were more drones and HUGE TV’s with spectacular picture. It was a fun Mom/Son trip. Zac and I had a great time!! According to my FitBit, I logged in 30 miles in 3 days. Blisters and sore feet to prove it. To learn more about CES just type in CES in the search “Whatcha Lookin’ For” widget on the side bar. What an amazing show that is! SO many booths, so MANY people!!

Reading through all the comments is bittersweet. Many happy memories but here and there reminders of hard times. Bit like life, I suppose.
Jerry Marquardt
My day went okay, but the weather was rather stormy today, and we almost had flooding rains. What a way to end winter.
Richard Hicks
I had a pretty good day. It was awfully busy though. Ready for bed!!!
Trisha McKee
It wasn’t the best of days, but that just means that tomorrow will be even better. I’m still a lucky girl – I have the best family and friends and a great job. So I’ll take a bleh day every now and then.
Vikki Billings
My day was filled with pain today, our weather change is so drastic that my arthritis is killing me. Other than that, I am awesome! How was your day???
Kate Sarsfield
I have filled the kitchen with daffodils to surprise Mum in the morning! Happy St. David’s Day!
Dee Hadley
Well, my day went fairly well. I did a little shopping with 90% off items. That is always fun. Then my son bought dinner for me so I didn’t have to cook. Spent some time on the computer and just relaxed. All in all it was a good day. Thanks for asking. 🙂
Rosanne
I got to speak to my best friend today for hours. She has been busy caring for an elderly aunt and had been out of town for a month. then I worked out and so far on my diet I’ve lost 2 lbs this week.

I was looking forward to getting some chores done but had to scrap all plans as my sister’s car wouldn’t start & my niece had to get to a hospital appointment in Dublin. Got home, showered & out again for rehearsal till 10pm. The whole day’s gone by and I’ve got nothing to show for it!

Just back from a huge funeral in the village. One of the local farmers opened his yard so people could park as did the Church of Ireland (2 churches & a pub surrounded by fields just about sums the village up!). Mum played the organ, I sang and there were traditional fiddlers, harpists etc as well. All while another storm was threatening to blow the windows in!

Today wasn’t my best day, it turned out ok in the end but it was a bit touch and go, and I was nervous as hell.
Pam K
Today is my mother’s 83rd birthday. I hope she got the birthday card that I mailed to her. It would have been better if I had been able to make the long drive to another state see her.
Cynthia C
Oh my gosh, we’ve got record high temperatures and sunny skies. It’s just like summer at the end of February!

Well, this has been a pretty decent day. I really didn’t have much to do (just some babysitting for my nephews when they got out of school.) But it has been really nice weather lately–in the high 60s/low 70s. So…overall, how can you not be good with that?
Nancy Bowers
It is almost over but it was a very good day.
Sarah L
After record breaking heat this last week, today my furnace is working overtime while the snow falls and the wind blows.
clojo9372
I hurt my thumb yesterday. I have no idea how I did it. It hurts to move it too much. Man, something is always happening to me.. I swear…. LOL. 😉
Virginia
Today has been a good day. Weather is amazing and tomorrow is Friday!,
Tari Lawson
It’s been a good day. I started out tired but managed to wake up once work started. That went well and then I headed home. The weather is in the high 60’s today so I went for a run outside. Ran 4 miles. It felt great. Gonna shower off and get ready for a date night with my husband to end the day on a high note.
Lorena Keech
My day has been great so far. Ran an errand that went quickly, and now back home to get a few things done.
Suzanne K
Good day so far! I managed to connect with someone that can hopefully help me wrap up some lingering details on a very long running project!
Pam K
I was up and at it long before the sun was up today. It was only because the phone rang, though, so it was very unusual.
Kim K
I’m extremely tired today. I’ll be glad when it’s bedtime.
McKim
My day is going ok. All roads in and out of town are closed due to our winter storm. That’s ok. After work I can go home, sit by the woodstove and read.
Christina Sparks
My day is going well, I took Friday off so today is my Friday!

I am fighting a cold right now, but each day I am feeling better than the last.

I was very happy to see that the weather is going to be mild today and will break records for the high tomorrow. I’ll get outdoors and enjoy.
Kate Sarsfield
Storm Doris dumped up to 12 inches of snow in northern England, Wales & Scotland last night with more to follow. In Ireland we got away with rain & gale force winds that brought down power lines etc. but at least no-one was hurt.
Ashley C
My day is going pretty well so far! I am just starting my morning off and going to have to go to work in a few minutes. We will see how I feel after work 😉 Hope your day is going well!

Adarsh Verma
My days are not going well
Pam K
Today was spent mostly relaxing and reading, but I did get a few orders mailed out as well as a birthday card to my mother.
Tamra Phelps
Well, the good thing about this Winter is that it seems to be finishing up really mildly. We are going to hit 75 degrees Friday. Crazy. It’s supposed to drop back to the 50s this weekend, but just a few years ago out temps were in the sub-zero range, so, I’ll take this!
Nancy Bowers
My day is ending soon. It was very good!
Sarah L
Good swim class today. Stopped at Sprouts for a couple of things including their garlic bread which I love!
Kate Sarsfield
Just got back from another rehearsal and I think I’ll head to bed early. Storm Doris is due to hit Ireland & the UK tonight/tomorrow!

michele
Today is my husbands birthday.. have everything in place.. fav meal beef stroganoff wine and his birthday cake a strawberry shortcake…..ready to celebrate soon….

My day started out productive, and then I started hitting a slump. I need to get some caffeine or food in me, though, because I have a deadline to meet!
Sarah L
Got my infusion today. Then to Smashburger to celebrate.
Tamra Phelps
This has been one of those days. A friend (also an in-law) who lost her husband to cancer just months ago –he was just in his mid 50s– lost her home to fire today. Honestly, I just don’t know what to think when this kind of thing happens. What do you even say to someone?
Kate Sarsfield
Oh my goodness! Life is so unfair. Thank heavens she has friends & family like you to support her.
Pam K
Your Sunday’s “do nothing & chill” must have been a fun day!
Pam K
It was rainy today. I called a neighbor and had a good visit with her.
clojo9372
I felt much better today than yesterday. Not back 100% but I am getting there…. 🙂

Today has been a good day. Now I am relaxing on the couch with my puppy and watching the new show, Big Little Lies. Loving it so far.
Kate Sarsfield
At last I made it to a King & I rehearsal – I’ve so much catching up to do and my voice isn’t 100% yet so I’ll have to take it easy.
clojo9372
I woke up at 4am and couldn’t stop sneezing. Whatever I caught (or maybe it’s allergies??) is really taking toll on me…
Sarah L
Good swim class today. Had a great first rehearsal last night.

Pam K
It has been another beautiful day. Spring will be here soon.
Sarah L
Got up early (for me) to attend my local Town Hall meeting. State officials and Rep. Perlmutter home from Washington, D.C.
Kim K
Great Day! Having a game day with my granddaughter.
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve had to learn the hard way that when I’m feeling lousy, fighting the inevitable only makes it worse, even if that means going to bed at lunchtime! At last I’m on the mend but taking it easy as I’ve a busy week of singing ahead of me.
Mandala
Just taking it easy today coz I am still recuperating from the flu. Woke up late, had breakfast and now catching up on e-mail.

Good swim class, but few people today. Quiet night at home.
Pam K
I’m having another good day, enjoying the beautiful weather.
clojo9372
Good day today. Feeling better. Got back to my kickboxing and I was able to do it better. Having a lot of ab trouble.. some of the moves are just so hard for me. But I am gonna keep trying!
Natalie
I am feeling better than I did all week because I have been sick. I am loving the warmer weather!
michele
Had a good time yesterday shopping.. today I have to put everything away.. lazy yesterday evening yes! only did the frig/freezer stuff…
Kate Sarsfield
Still no word of Mum’s CT results. They say no news is good news but it doesn’t stop you worrying.
Tamra Phelps
Waiting for those kinds of things is horrible. I hope you guys get good news.
Judy Thomas
My day went really well as we ate icecream and watched movies all afternoon. Salted Caramel icecream is now my all time fave 🙂
Nancy Bowers
It’s almost over but it was good. I got some things done and talked to my grandsons.
Mandala
Had a long day at work and feel exhausted. Just catching up on my e-mail before going to bed early.
clojo9372
Feel much better today as opposed to yesterday. Kinda tired though.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Trying to stay off FB. (which is a time sink)
Kate Sarsfield
Shh! Don’t tell anyone but at last, I’m feeling better. I’m afraid if I say it out loud I might tempt fate!

It was a pretty good day–went to town to get the mail, which was nothing especially interesting.
Nancy Bowers
It went. Had better, had worse. Hoping tomorrow is more productive.
Sarah L
Good swim class then 2 stops for 1/2 price chocolates.
Tamra Phelps
Well, after a week of being decimated by colds, flu, etc., things seem to be getting better. Mom was hospitalized for 2 days due to bronchitis, but she was pumped full of meds & is better, lol. My cold is better, just coughing it up, lol. My brother feels wiped out, but the flu is gone. Oh…my oldest nephew’s class all brought home papers from school saying their was a student in his class with head lice. NO!!!!! Lol, his head check was clean, though, so I’m thinking he needs to get his Summer buzz cut early & be sure he doesn’t get it.
Alison King
Today is going really well. My only issue is I’m getting a sore throat and an ear ache. Ouch.
clojo9372
I woke up today with a runny nose and sneezing non-stop. I am wondering if I caught something at the doctor’s office on Monday. 🙁
Kim K
I’m feeling much better. The flu is gone and I have my appetite again.
Kate Sarsfield
Still sick & feeling miserable BUT I got a phone call last night to say they’re keeping my place in The King & I open for me, even though I missed the auditions & a couple of practices! See girls, if you’ve got it, flaunt it!
Tamra Phelps
Lol, do you guys ever tape your shows? I’d love to see one sometime. You need to put it on Youtube!
michele
today I have to finish my lists and inventory for my monthly shopping tomorrow.. have bits and pieces of lists all over the house!! I must confess though I do love making lists….
Tamra Phelps
Well, this has just been one of those days. Stressful & long describes my day. I just want to go to bed & hope tomorrow is better.
Sarah L
Happy Valentines Day! Quiet day at home planning where to go for chocolates tomorrow.
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve spent the day in bed feeling extremely sorry for myself. You know the ‘nobody loves me’ kind of sorry – kind of pathetic really!
michele
We all have those kinds of days.. trust me it shall pass…
Kate Sarsfield
Thanks Michele!
clojo9372
I’m not in the mood to do much of anything. All I want to do is cuddle and eat chocolates. LOL. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! 🙂
Kim K
Happy Valentine’s Day! Love to all!

Sarah L
Good swim class with the new people who came back. Then to Costco for stuff and roast chicken.
clojo9372
Saw the doctor today. I am healthy but I have to go back in a month for a followup. I feel very tired since I came home.
Alison King
Mondays suck. Grrr…people at work are getting on my last nerve.
Cathy French
Rough day! Boyfriend’s mystery stomach ailment has returned and he is miserable.
Annmarie W.
My day was fairly quiet. While the kids were at school, I went to the grocery store. A friend is coming for dinner, and my teen daughter is going to make her yummy chicken enchiladas for us all for dinner! She’s such a good cook!
Kate Sarsfield
And here’s another Whiner who’s doing just that – whining! I feel rotten 🙁
Kim K
Still sick with the flu! Ugh!
Natalie
I have been sick all weekend and today I feel even worse. Wondering if I should go to work.
michele
On my way to the opthalmologist….been over a year since my 2 eye surgeries and I keep a good check on my one good eye…
Cheryl Chervitz
I had a great day. Got to go see bull riding at the Sprint Center in KC, MO. It was a blast.
Sarah L
Just a quiet day at home. We didn’t get snow last night.
Alison King
Today has been so nice and relaxing. I have enjoyed just being lazy. I only wish I didn’t have to go back to work tomorrow, but oh well.
Tamra Phelps
Had to call an ambulance to take Mom to the ER about midnight last night. She has been having spells of weakness & feeling like she is going to pass out. Last night, she barely made it back to her chair, just sort of fell into it, knocking over her walker, etc. So, after a few doctors not being able to figure it out over the last few weeks, the ER doctor figured it out pretty quick. She’s very anemic. So, she will be there until tomorrow (they want to be sure she can get around.) So, scary but she finally has an answer to what the heck is going on.
Kate Sarsfield
Thank heavens someone had a bit of common sense and is getting her sorted out. Very scary for you both though. Give her my best (and you of course) xxx
Mandala
I slept for most of the day. Still recovering from illness but feeling a bit better.
Kim K
My day is not going very good. I have the flu. Very sick.
Kate Sarsfield
And now my cold has caught a cold! Honestly where is all this gunk coming from -EW!!!!!
Tamra Phelps
Oh, I have a rotten head cold. I noticed a lot of us ‘whiners’ are sick! We are just a miserable bunch at the moment, lol.
Kate Sarsfield
It’s all in the name 🙂 Hope your poor eye is better soon!
clojo9372
Since today is Sunday, my Fun Day I am gonna read books on my Kindle and enjoy the day. I also have some projects I need to work on, but I will only do it if I feel like it. LOL. 😛
michele
Sunday glorious Sunday… after I finish cooking today and baking some chocolate cupcakes I plan on reading and listening to some great music….
Nancy Bowers
Praise the Lord! My back pain is all gone.
Sarah L
Was teacher’s assistant for a Natural Skin Care class at the gardens. Great teacher & fun stuff to learn. Being the TA means I get to attend the class for free.
Susan Biddle
Thanks for asking about my day. I think it went quite well. Within the past week I had money stolen over the internet, was stuck in a snowstorm in my car for 4 1/2 hours, one of my kids got sick and another had a sort of breakdown. Today NOTHING happened. I took care of the kids and vegged out quite a bit. It was nice to just chill. I have a feeling that my luck is changing for the better. I hope your day was awesome too.
Tamra Phelps
Well, the temperature today was great–in the 60s! It was overcast, so not much sun, but at least it wasn’t cold. I’m still fighting a rotten cold that seems to have settled in my left eye, lol. Seriously, when I sneeze, stuff comes out of my eye! This morning I woke up with it literally crusted shut. I had to use a warm washrag to get it open! Geeze, I’m over this: congestion, sneezing, runny eyes. Ugh.
Kate Sarsfield
I was out & about and busy all day in the wet & cold so now I’m going to settle down & watch a bit of telly.
Mandala
I woke up early and was able to catch up on my e-mails. Just taking the day off resting and recovering from illness.
Alison King
I’m excited for today. We are going to go pick out bridesmaids dresses for my friend’s wedding.
Kim K
I hope to have a good day today. I woke up too early for a Saturday morning so feeling tired.
clojo9372
I have some outside chores to do and some cleaning… Then I am going to enjoy the rest of my day.
Tamra Phelps
This cold seems to have settled in my left eye, lol. It waters constantly. I swear, every time I sneeze, something blows out of my eye!
Kate Sarsfield
My grandmother used to say it was all the badness inside you trying to get out. Of course we took it to mean all bad thoughts, little ‘white’ lies and rude words!
Kate Sarsfield
I seem to have spent the entire day sitting down. Firstly driving to & from Dublin and, secondly, hanging around in waiting rooms while Mum had various blood tests & scans done to check on how she’s doing after her last Big C op.
Alison King
It’s Friday!!! Woohooo. The only bad part is my hubby is working tonight, but I’m still glad the weekend is here.
clojo9372
YAY TGIF! I’m glad the weekend is here. Time to enjoy oneself.. 🙂
Nancy Bowers
Still having back pain but I think it’s getting better.
Mandala
I have been feeling sick the past couple of days. I am trying to get some chores done but not accomplishing much.
michele
Here we are at Friday … the usual l work week for most is over for 2 days.. this used to be my happy day.. now all my days are happy days!
have a great weekend..
Nancy Bowers
I have back pain. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Then off to give my opinions for $85.
Krystal Waters
Another day where I have to call my health insurance company, seems like it’s real easy to waste several hours with them on the phone and get no where.
clojo9372
Good day today. I got some cleaning done and I am working on a fun project. Need to stay away from cookies….
Kate Sarsfield
Today has been spent getting ready for an early morning start to take Mum up to Dublin for a CT scan. Fingers etc. are crossed (v. hard to type!) but probably won’t be able to sleep much tonight 🙁
Kim K
My day is going great. Planning lunch with friends.
Natalie
I am coming down with some sort of sickness, so I hope I can get through today!
michele
On my own today… no gardening so free as a bird….breakfast needs to be made so off I go…
Sarah L
Had our semi-annual volunteer summit today. Lots of fun things going on at the gardens this year.
Tamra Phelps
Well, this weird head cold is hanging on…but massive doses of Vitamin C might be keeping it from getting worse. We shall see, I guess. Just to make the day a real bummer, the water meter reader guy knocked on the door to tell us that our meter was showing about double our usual usage & that we had water running right that moment…so he thought we’d want to know. Of course, we had no water running. Looks like there’s a leak somewhere. Well, good news is the water company will adjust the bill after the leak is found.
clojo9372
My arms are sore from the kickboxing I did but I still got my way through this morning’s routine. Probably undid all the good I did with chocolate chip cookies that were baking in the kitchen. It isn’t my fault… I just can’t resist freshly baked goods! lol. 😉
michele
Finally get to sit down… After doing my chores I decidied to make cookies… no jammy dodgers just chocolate chip and cranberry almond shortbread.. Going to sample some right now….
Cathy French
Today is being a rough day due to a migraine and nausea.
Alison King
I’m happy that today was just a half day at the school. I got off early and am so glad for the extra time to spend with my husband. He is off work today.
Kate Sarsfield
For the first time in ages I felt in a good mood today. The sun shone & it was warm on my back as I hung out washing – seratonin levels are on the up!
Kim K
It’s a great day. Starting my day by entering sweepstakes!
Tamra Phelps
Ugh. I have a cold. (I will not acknowledge that it could be the flu. It’s going around, my brother has it, my littlest nephew is probably a carrier, lol…but I can’t have it!!!)
Susan Smith
I had a good day. I went to the dentist and I had no cavities.
Kate Sarsfield
I woke up with no voice again today & last night I had to pull out of rehearsals for ‘The King and I’
clojo9372
Today was a good day despite being super sore. I started a new workout routine this week, and wheeew!!!!! My arms are killing me!
Alison King
It wasn’t a horrible day, but there were some frustrations at work today. I’m looking forward to spending the evening with my puppy dog.
Natalie
I had a pretty good day at work, although it was a little stressful.
michele
All garden work done so ready for a shower and then lunch….Not too tired so the day is going well…
Edye
My day is going good! I have some school work to do today and a workout 🙂
Sarah L
Good swim class, now home for a quiet evening.
clojo9372
Good day today. I got my work done and spent my afternoon with my Mom.
Tamra Phelps
I think I’m getting a head cold. (Well, I tell myself that, but my brother has the flu…but I refuse to catch the flu!!) So, I’m chugging orange juice & taking extra Vitamin C.
Kate Sarsfield
Don’t you get flu jabs? We get them free over here if we have a long-term illness or are over a certain age, vulnerable, live/work in residential homes, hospitals etc.
Tamra Phelps
I’m diabetic so I get a notice from my insurer every year saying “You should get a flu shot!” But they don’t cover it, lol. How dumb is that?? You know it would be cheaper to just pay for shots rather than all the expenses from getting the flu. (Especially for those of us who could wind up with ‘complications.’) Sometimes, I pay for it myself, but this year I just let it slide. I might be about to pay for that! So far, this is acting like a head cold…
Alison King
I am sooo tired today. I’m also sad my hubby is going back on night shift tonight. I’m gonna miss him being home with me in the evening.
Kate Sarsfield
It took me 4 hours to get my pc working except I had to use system restore & it’s working from 2016, so I’m having to log into everything, change p/words etc. And YES, I did do a backup (phew!).
Tamra Phelps
I saw yesterday that you were having issues & I thought ‘I bet she has to do a complete system reset.’ Hey, it’s a pain in the butt, but it beats buying a new computer!.
Kate Sarsfield
I’ll see tomorrow if it works – I’m too scared to shut down until I’ve done everything that needs doing!
Kim K
Sad that the Atlanta Falcons lost the Super Bowl, but other than than my day is great.
michele
Weekend is over back to work…Laundry going and the garden awaits….Moving slowly but the energy will pick up!
Edmund
My day is tired.
Kristen
My day’s been full of ups and downs.
Sarah L
There’s a game today? Lots of room at the Home & Garden show where I was volunteering for DBG.
diana shenderovich
very good Sunday,vent to Costco got good stuff
Tamra Phelps
Yikes! My brother has the flu, he thinks. Oh, no! That means his kids will probably get it (cause it must be a strain not covered by the flu shot), his wife will get it…then it will spread to our house. No! This must be stopped, lol.
Kate Sarsfield
Try building a wall!
Tamra Phelps
Lol, a ‘tremendou, beautiful’ wall??? They’re expensive & aren’t very effective against people with ladders.
Tamra Phelps
I meant ‘tremendous’
Kate Sarsfield
Ah, but if I get them to pay for the wall, they won’t be able to afford ladders!!!
Jen L
I am embarrasses to say I am having a lazy Sunday, I have just drank coffee and surfed the net.
O Lau
Another windy and chilly day. Just went out to grab some newspaper and magazine.
KATE SARSFIELD
My pc is dying! It’s taking forever to get started (like a couple of hours) so you may not hear from me for a while ……………………
Cheryl Chervitz
I have had a great day so far. Cooking for the Super Bowl now!
Nancy
I am having a great day so far. I have been cooking a lot. Hope everyone’s day has been a nice one, too.
dougf gerard
So far–so good. Just got over a mild case of the flu. First day I’ve been out for a walk & to get coffee at Starbucks 🙂
Mandala
I woke up early and did chores. Now just catching up on my shows on Netflix.
clojo9372
I feel much better today as opposed to yesterday. I am resting up and doing some projects. I am enjoying my Sunday. Hope everyone enjoys the Super Bowl for those who like to watch it! 🙂
michele
Sunday glorious Sunday….starting to make breakfast now then a day filled with music, reading and relaxing…..
Tamra Phelps
Oh, this has been a blah day. Maybe I’m just feeling a little bored with gray, dreary Winter days & being cold, or maybe all this sneezing is a cold coming on instead of just allergies. I’m not sure, but it’s been a yucky day.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Enjoying the 20 degree rise in temps from yesterday.
KATE SARSFIELD
I felt well enough to do a bit of shopping & housework today. Tired now!
O Lau
Went to a park taking photos at birds. It was rewarding despite a little bitter cold.
Natalie
I had to work half day today and nothing went right today. I am glad that I have tomorrow off.
clojo9372
Tummy hurting again plus headache, I am hoping a good night sleep will cure it all. 🙂
Nancy Bowers
It’s going. I’m cold and ready for supper soon to be on the table.
Alison King
Today is going well so far. We have just been having a lazy Saturday. Soon it will be time to get into cleaning mode though and get this house in order.
michele
Since I gardened all week no work today or tomorrow… baking bread and sweetbread but thats it!! Pasta with pesto for lunch and the pesto is already made so I am home free…..
Sean Cuthill
It is Friday and what a week it was. But now it is snowing but I am home so I am just going to enjoy a good sleep.
Jen L
Ho, My day was super good. I received a package today I had been waiting on and the weather is good . Thanks for the chance!
O Lau
It was a such a cold and windy day to spend an hour outside. Not that I would enjoy about it.
Kim K
I’m having a great daughter. My granddaughter is visiting and we are watching movies together.
Kim K
Whoops! I meant I’m having a great day. Too bad you can’t edit your comments.
dougf gerard

Sarah L
Good swim class (though only 2 people). Then shopping at King Soopers.
Alison King

Mia
Been having a chilled day at home in bed, rainy days are lazy days
clojo9372

Just a lovely quiet day at home. Freezing drizzle outside.
Natalie
I am having a pretty typical Thursday, although it is a lot colder outside than it has been!
Kristi Kellberg
I just completed a short walk because it was chilly outside. I’m going to fix some hot chocolate, and have a great day! Chocolate always makes me feel better.
michele
Just came in from gardening…Pooped to say the least… Made chicken pies for lunch so only to heat things up….
Cathy French
Well today I got up later than I wanted and still have this cough from a cold I had over a week ago. Hopefully get some much needed cleaning and laundry done today
clojo9372
Today is Groundhog day! I forget.. is it when he sees his shadow or doesn’t see his shadow that it’s 6 more weeks of winter?
KATE SARSFIELD
It’s also Candlemas Day, originally an ancient Druidic/Celtic festival lighting the way for the sun to return!
KATE SARSFIELD
The snowdrops are out in our garden (read field!) and the daffies are well on their way!
KATE SARSFIELD
I forgot about the time difference; it’s 5.30am 02/02/17 here!
Tamra Phelps
What a day. First, the electric bill came in, lol. (Another reason that Winter stinks!) Then, it was just one of those days where it’s one thing after another that needs to be done. Fill out this form, sign that, clean up this mess, lol. At least January is over…so Spring is closer.
KATE SARSFIELD
Happy February everyone, or, if you’re from Ireland, Happy St. Brigid’s Day, which also marks the 1st day of Spring. Mum’s Welsh, so we start Spring on St. David’s Day, the 1st of March!
Sue E
I stayed home while my husband went to our daughter’s, because I didn’t get any sleep last night! I’m hoping to pass out tonight!
There’s no happy medium for me! I either sleep too much or not at all ?
Alison King
My day has been going pretty well. I worked today and now I’m hanging out watching “The Moaning of Life” with my hubby. It’s on Netflix and we really enjoy watching it.
Sarah L
Good massage this morning then a good swim class.
Terri Quick
I stayed in and relaxed with my dogs. It’s too snowy and cold outside 🙁
clojo9372
Today was a good day. A little tired, but I got through… 🙂
Nancy
Our day is going great! Our daughter and granddaughter are visiting with us today.
Kim Pincombe-Cole
My day started off ok {new month excitement}. But then I just received word that my sister in-law’s father passed away from cancer this morning. So sad..
Stephanie Phelps
Oh my goodness I have had a headache today but other than that it has been fine. I am getting somethings done which always makes the day better!
