Flat out missed yours Rebecca, happy belated anniversary, hope you had a good time.
Well Happy Anniversary to everyone who has one this month!!! My Grandparents turned 91.
Speaking of road trips, well not a road trip, but I will be going to Calgary next month to see my sister.

Happy birthday to your grandparents.
Ups and downs today. I have a headache that could kill a horse, and it's not going away, so there's that. But when a car pulled out in front of me on the way to work -- forcing me to slam on the brakes, which slung my cake upside-down onto the car floor -- it was miraculously undamaged and was still usable in the bake raffle today. Couldn't believe it. Even the orange slices I used as trimming didn't budge.

My niece gets those and has to take some kind of medication and then go to bed (she has blackout blinds so no light gets in).
What?! That's nuts in a good way about the cake. Hours of work not down the drain!

In a way I'm not surprised. It's incredibly solid and heavy. I made a half a batch for the raffle and I swear it weighed almost 2 lbs. The full sheet cake I brought in earlier, to test whether ppl would like it enough to buy raffle tickets, felt like it weighed well over 5. But amazingly, as you can see in the photo, the flimsy plastic lid wasn't dented, either.

One more appt and I can go home and plotz.
Haha is plotz like plop down and relax?

Thanks Nancy, and Happy Anniversary to you too!I'm just now back after a week without my computer, ugh! I had to use a back up so at least I could work, but no fun stuff lol
We get so used to having access to certain conveniences that they become needs more or less!My cell phone stopped working for anything cellular recently (it's a module they won't fix and am told I just have to replace the device, sigh). So now I have a very expensive audiobook player/mini-tablet lol, while I wait for my new phone to arrive. But it's hard to do our usual stuff without the tools we are used to having.
Gertie wrote: "Haha is plotz like plop down and relax?"More like "collapse from exhaustion," really. Sometimes it means flopping on your adze out of shock & surprise.

Thank you. We stayed in but it was nice.:)
I was in Calgary last week. Had a good visit with my sister. My sister and I spent the night at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel in Banff. It was an experience.
The kittens are growing. We have snow. We actually had freezing rain, then snow, then rain and snow. And its all here to stay.

Glad to hear you had a good time in Calgary.
Just finished with the office Halloween party. Utterly exhausting. We all got here to discover that it was 84 degrees inside the building; opening all the windows and turning on the fans lowered it to 78. I must have run up and down those stairs a dozen times setting things up. The food was good though!
Glad the party went well minus the heat.
Oh no!I skipped out on Halloween this year... went thrifting and to a fancy dinner with my bestie. Saw lots of trick or treaters when I got home. I think next year I'll need to hand out candy, more kids in my neighborhood now!
It was 80 degrees here today. This is the first year that I have seen anyone in costume around here [and I have lived here for 10 years] but a big family with kids recently moved in upstairs. Those poor kids were dressed in black from head to toe [I have no idea what they were supposed to be]and it was early [the sun was shining] when they left.
I had polio as an infant, and now am confined to a power wheelchair. So, I do a lot of reading. My husband is super nice and caring !!Unfortunately, I've had a number of accidents this year which has cut down on the number of books that I've read. I hope to catch up and would love a pen pal.

I need new recommendations for books to read.

We have more kids in my neighborhood but the trend seems to be everyone goes to a central point and trick-or-treats, usually big subdivisions.
I'm going to lunch with a bunch of my family tomorrow. My cousin, her husband and their daughter live in another state so this is the only time to see them. The daughter is very smart- she isn't even 10 y/o but she is learning and speaking French, along with with acing her other classes.

Erin wrote: "Sounds like fun and that's amazing she is learning French so young!"The younger you are the easier it is to learn it. One reason most Americans only know a first language is that we don't try to start teaching them the second one until the language-acquisition centers in their brains are close to closing up shop.
It was Lasagna Day for me. No, I'm not Italian. I just don't care for turkey and either does my mother. We also had antipasto.
Hahaha! Wait, what did I miss? I need context. :-P
She did her Holiday Rat up for Thanksgiving. Waiting for the Christmas picture.
I have shopped local for all but one Christmas gift this year. I feel good about that.
I know there isn't much of today left, but enjoy what there is of it - today is National Lager Day. It is also National Animal Rights and Human Rights Day.
Jennifer wrote: "I have shopped local for all but one Christmas gift this year. I feel good about that."I only had one person to exchange gifts with this year, and we agreed to keep the spending low. It was easy to shop local, for me at least. The hardest part was going shopping with my mother, when I was buying for her! She has been wanting those stretchy knit gloves with rubber grips on the palms for a while now. I've been looking and can't find them anywhere. I did get some Lindt milk chocolate truffles, which are her favorite.
I just read that a convenience store in Japan started selling drinkable mayonnaise on November 26th! It says that it is made from milk, a "dairy-type product" and mayonnaise seasoning. OK, I like mayo on some of my sandwiches and sometimes I will lick the spoon after I use it, but I seriously doubt I would ever want to drink it.

Drinkable mayonnaise? Yikes…sounds revolting.
Look I don't mind mayo, but drinking it is another thing entirely. Ew.
I heard that on TV today, I like mayo but that doesn't sound appealing. It also doesn't sound much like mayo, it's more of a dairy product from what I read, not why they are calling it mayo.
I had a flashback today of a book I used to 'read' when I was around 3 y/o.[50-plus years ago] It was by Richard Scarry and the part I remember best is Lowly Worm falling into a vat of candy cane mix and "becoming' a candy cane that giggled when someone licked him. Anyone else remember this book?
You must be right about Sept., our anniversary was Sept.3. 36 years!
