Another way to help keep them warm, someone mentioned on YT about using rice bags. Just put them in the micro wave and they are suppose to stay warm for hours.

Thanks Janet. It's always good to have a few tricks up ones sleeve to try should the need arise.
Katie was told she's only 4.5 weeks pregnant! Just barely far enough along to have been able to tell when she tested.

Oh, a tiny embryo. When does she get her first sonogram? How does she feel?
I hope no morning sickness or anything like that.

We're all going to be Grandmas!!!

How about posting one of your pix of the puppies? Where does Moses sleep? He's too cute.

How miraculous, Tink! Great news!

It was with a vaginal ultrasound that they decided how far along she is.
She had it done yesterday.

Exciting day for both you and your daughter Tink! Hope she's feeling well.


My positive today is I've spent all day in front of the fireplace making cards. It's been relaxing to say the least.

How exciting Tink!

My positive today is that there are less than 2 weeks till the semester's over.

And I have amazing friends.

And the furbabies are doing well.

And Brendon's dad is improving.

And I got to spend time with Mom last night. :)

Okay, so I had more than one today. :D

From 6 am tomorrow till 6 am Sunday we're under a winter storm watch. We're supposed to get 6 inches of snow, then sleet and rain turning into about 1.5 inches of ice. So tonight dh and I went to town and stocked up for the weekend so even if we're iced in we'll be comfy and well stocked on all the essentials. So my freezer and pantry are overflowing, dh is home safe, and we're planning to stay PUT. It's not so bad getting stuck home if you're prepared!

I ordered myself a swim suit because on Sunday we're supposed to go to my oldest granddaughters 8th birthday party at the pool area of a hotel just over an hr away. It actually arrived today! So I got it on time... now if the weather will just permit me to get there!

Sheryl, I think that you should take some pictures of your cards and show us what you've done. I do a little card making and would like to see them.

Angie, What a wonderful list of positives you had for today!!! I'm glad that you're semester is about over. I have missed you but knew that your absence was probably school related. I'm always glad to hear that your Mom is doing well and your father-in-law too!!

Tink, I'm so glad that Greg is home with you with a storm headed your way. It sounds like your all "snug as a bug in a rug". I hope that the storms not as bad as it sounds, but at least you're prepared. I know that for me when it's bad out I like to have ALL of my family here so I know that everyone's all safe and sound. We play games and have a good time.

My positive is that I went shopping yesterday with my daughter, Amy, and we had a blast!! We laughed and had a good time!

Tink, I just looked at the weather map and, my goodness, you DO have bad weather headed your way!!!!:eek: I'm glad that you're prepared!! Stay in and take care!!!

You're such a sweetie Diana! :) It's a great idea to have all of your family over when there's bad weather. I bet it really makes it a lot less stressful since you don't have to worry about whether they are safe or not. Glad you had fun with your daughter!

My positives: Brendon's dad is being moved from ICU to a regular room today! That feels like a good sign to me.

Mom is out shopping today which means she's feeling good. Oh, and I got her hooked on eBay! :D

I'm about halfway done with my "to do list" for things that are due this coming week. I'm going to make a thread right now to ask you ladies for some help. :)

My positive for today is I finally got the tree up and put out a few decorations. I didn't put out all of them, just too much to sit around and dust till Christmas.

We're suppose to get a little rain/sleet, but tomorrow it's suppose to get up to 50 degrees. You stay in and safe Tink. Maybe if you're lucky the kids will get stuck in town and you and hubby can have a nice quite...c o z y weekend together.

Sheryl, I would love to see your cards. I posted the Christmas decorations I made, so please post pics of your cards.

Diana...I bet being stuck with you is the best fun. I have a feeling I would be laughing so hard my insides would hurt...LOL

Ahhhhh Diana - Most of the one's I made the past couple days I already sealed in their envelopes, addressed, and ready to mail. It just slips my mind to take a pic after I've completed one. Id enjoy making you one...If you'd like send me your addy in a pm and I will happily send you a greeting. :p

I finished 3 Christmas cards. 2 B-day cards, 1 "thinking of you" card for a friend going through a divorce, and a couple plain jane one's. My dh has been away all weekend so this quiet time has been used for cards.

Tink - Hopefully that storm wont be too much your way. Keep warm.

Angie - Love all your "positives". :p

LOL = I wish I would have seen this thread prior to sealing those cards in the envelopes. Thanks so much though for your interest. Same goes to you as I mentioned to Diana. I would happily send you a greeting. :p

I send you an e-mail!!!! I would love a card!!!
