TGI Friday!

**MarshHen** · 12-08-2006, 09:00 AM

It's 30 degrees here with a wind chill temp of 24.....brrrrrr!

I have furniture that I need to clean on the back porch so that I can strip and then refinish, but I don't think I will get around to it today, so will just stay inside and do laundry, baking and cook an early supper. Dd has her Sunday School Christmas party tonight. I hope the wind calms down a bit before then. It's wicked out there today!

**lottaLove** · 12-08-2006, 09:14 AM

It's cold but sunny here today. Our wind chill is -17C (I think thats 0 or 1 Fahrenheit), but it's supposed to warm up to about -1 later today. I hate that I can say the words "It will warm up to -1", because that isn't really warm at all!!!
Have a good day everyone!

It's only 4 degrees here right now. Had to drive DH to the train station this morning. He has meetings in Chicago all day. I wish I could stay inside all day, but I have to walk the dogs, run some errands and pick DH from the train tonight.

Stay warm everyone

It's 50's this morning in FL. The wind chill is making it seem colder than that. I know that seems whimpy compaired to other folks.

**emily_hope** · 12-08-2006, 09:22 AM

Woo Hoo, it's Friday! I don't work on Fridays, so it is one of my favorite days of the week. I have to go to the photography studio in the next town and order the pictures we had made of my DD16 for her Sweet Sixteenth birhtday. She also has a basketball game this afternoon. She is on Junior Varsity at the high school. I need to go to the bank and make a deposit. I really don't want to go out. It is 19 degrees here. There is ice on the pond beside our house. Brrrrrrrr!

It's a little after 6:00 here and it's 57; supposed to get up to 75 today. Sounds like a good day to get some Christmas shopping done.

**banana** · 12-08-2006, 09:39 AM

It is freezing here! I gotta get ready to go to work. I hope it warms up!

**YankeeMom** · 12-08-2006, 09:52 AM

It was a whopping 1*F this morning. I think we're up to 10*F right now.

Not much to do here today. I finished up almost all of my wrapping yesterday. The rest will be done on Christmas eve. I need to run the dishwasher, put away the folded clothes, run a couple more loads of wash, and run to the commissary for a few things.

Again cold here - unfortunately. We finished up our 'school year' yesterday and I was looking forward to a day to catch up on some of my household stuff - but find myself playing referee to house-bound children. DS has also started smiling and cooing so I find myself just wanting to sit with him and enjoy that. So, needless to say not much has gotten done so far. What I need to do:

Pack up some coffee to return for a refund - somehow a one-time order got marked as a repetitive order and I have ended up with a large supply of coffee.
Make Christmas Card List and start working on getting the cards mailed
Empty dishwasher/Reload dishwasher
3 Loads of laundry (in progress)
Sweep/Vacuum
Cook Chicken to use in Chicken Pie for dinner
Go through last weekend's coupons and clip

Today was a great lazy day. I still can't believe it was 53 out yesterday and only 27 today!

I didn't leave the house to run errands. I didn't do laundry. All I've done today is caught up on my email, started a pot of turkey soup, pumped some milk, and run the dishwasher.

DS has been sleeping just about all day today, so I've done a lot of just sitting while he sleeps in my arms. I know that these days are rare, so I'm just trying to enjoy it.

**yankeegal** · 12-08-2006, 06:29 PM

Evening all...
Hope all that were under the weather are feeling better.

Sara-your post gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling-enjoy these days!

It was freezing here as well today.
I am officially in full out baking mode-from morning till night....I actually have been getting up around 4:30-5:00 a.m. to get started.
I stop once in awhile to check my mail, visit here of course, and go to DS's basketball games.
I am fortunate that my business has been going well so I will not complain.(too much)
I need to go food shopping and do some laundry.
Have a great evening all!

It was cold but sunny day here. It was in the teens this morning and we are now at balmy 44º here

. I went to the holiday gala at work this morning, it is always a lovely event and goes on between 6:30a and 9:30a and they serve a delicious brunch buffet with beautiful decorations and Christmas music. I always enjoy it. After working for 12 hours, it is a nice ending to our work day.

Here at home, I got chicken in the crockpot for chicken and dumplings tonight, did a quick pick up and dust and then took at nap for a few hours. I will be working on learning to knit tonight. I picked up a book at the store this morning "I taught myself to knit" and it came with 2 sets of needles and lots of other things for learning to knit. I taught myself to crochet using the same type of book so I hope I can figure out knitting.

I hope everyone has had a lovely day today.
