Loved Porridge. Great show.

open all hours was better ;)

I imagine the focal point of this pic is the yarn, but what stood out to me immediately is the 2 bars of Lindt "Excellence" Dark Chocolate, 70% cocoa none the less :D Ooooooh....... This is my favorite brand of chocolate. :D

Yeah thats what we've been doing, along with keeping the fireplace going. Still colder than a well-diggers ass here and a blizzard-warning in effect to boot. Can't wait until next week, where the only arse I'll be thinking of is my own baking on the beach of Cancun, Mexico!! :D I leave on the 21st - not soon enough!

We've got that nor'easter boring down on us, so our pantry is replenished, the shovels are at hand, and I'm hoping there's a snow day tomorrow so I can sleep in, lol. We're expecting 12-24". [correction: now 18-36"]

One of my favorite investments from years ago was an electric mattress pad. It fits over the mattress and under the bottom sheet, warms in zones (warmest at the feet, cooler as it rises) and is dual control, one for each side of the bed if your honey likes it warmer or cooler. Preset that baby to 5 a half hour before bed and you're good to go for the night, or any time. Our front bedrooms get the north winds, so I bought one for each bed in those rooms.

Have a great time Jennifer and, Take care, Stay Safe!!~Jesse~ :cool: :)

Okay, they tell me the cold stuff coming out of the sky in Philly is snow, sleet and freezing rain. The low temperature tomorrow is 0 with a high of frigid. :eek: :eek:
For those of you who live where it is really cold this might seem like a heat wave. My husband is trying to thaw our little dog out. He just put her in the microwave. :D

Rose is a total tease. But this is very cold to us. Hopefully, our show will go well and we can thaw out next week.

Jenifer, have a great time in Cancun.
:)

2 shots of brandy in my Diet Pepsi, my comfy recliner & remote, and an afghan is how I've been spending my Wisconsin evenings recently. Too dang cold to do anything else.

Jennifer, I was there in April. Check out my review of our hotel, and have a wonderful time!!

100'F today and 105'F on satuday/sunday :(

Thank you Jesse Joe and Gitchigumee. And thanks GG for sharing that review. My hubby and I are staying here.

It's the first time my beloved hubby and I have taken off alone together in a loooong while. I am looking forward to a romantic trip and re-connecting. I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time! :) Thanks again.

Finally the sun is shining here and the temps have risen into the 20s. Now where to put the 20" or more of snow? It'll be nice when Upstate New York is no longer the place with the worst weather in the U.S. on the national news. During the heaviest snows on Vanetine's Day I hand-shovelled our back deck, walks and driveway (the first 25' anyway) 7 times. Small wonder my wrists still ache. Rich worked double shifts to plow out work. He's just now finisihed clearing the back end of our driveway so our neighbor doesn't have to park her truck on the street (we have alternate side parking which is a pain.)

Hello Sir John and timetraveler,

Just wanted to let you know I finally got my Knifty Knitter rings. I am so excited and can't wait to start. I'll let you know if I ever really start and finish anything. :)

Hey guys, I've been busy since I returned but Cancun was AWESOME, just simply paradise. Mexico is beautiful and the people were so warm and friendly. I did get a little sunburn despite my generous use of sunscreen. That sun is pretty intense.

I want you to know, I had a pina colada for each and every one of you. Heck, maybe even 2 for each and every one of you considering that often I started drinking them for "breakfast" at 10 a.m.!!! Really I did!! :D

While it is nice to vacation it is always nice to return to home sweet home as well.

Cheers!

Oh, and I danced with Pirates on Isla Mujeres... how cool is that!? ARRRRR! :cool: :D

Well Jennifer - are you sure you really danced with pirates...??? :)
Pina Coladas for brekkie and the hot equatorial sun can make one see things!
lol
Was one of the pirates Johnny Depp??
;)

:D Jennifer, welcome back. Glad you had a good time.

Thanks for the welcome back charlene and GG. Yes I really danced with pirates. I swear it was not just some hallucination brought on by too many pina coladas and the hot mexican sun beating down on my noggin. LOL!

The pirates I danced with were part of the Pirate Cruise we went on. Lots o' fun!

Johnny Depp? Oh, I wish... :) He's quite dreamy ;)

oh lordy I remember the Pirate Cruises in the Caribbean off Antigua and Barbados...well I have pictures that help me remember ..lol
;)
