Good Morning Afters

[BostonsJ]

Woo hoo it is Thursday we are almost at the weekend. Well the winds died down last night but they are expected to come back full force today. I think the strongest winds were only about 40mph here last night the higher winds were just west of us. The temps will go from 13 degrees now to the 40's today. They are still saying 80mph today. I hope they are wrong.

A couple more months of this crazy weather and the flowers will start popping up. I can't wait.

Not much else going on here. If I'm not mistaken this weekend is the Budweiser Shoot out. Woo hoo you know spring is right around the corner when Nascar starts.

Well everyone have a good day. The work week is chugging down and we can relax this weekend.

Good Morning Everyone! Another day closer to my crusie! Yeah!!!! Can you tell I am a little excited? lol

Cold again here in Ohio and we have a dusting of snow. Nothing big - but a big drop from yesterday.

I went to the grocery store last night and is it just me or is everything going through the roof! I couldn't belive the prices on some simple things - like Milk $3.09 a gal and eggs $1.69 a dozen. It is getting really bad! Everything seemed high to me. I spent $170.00 for two people!

Wonder how the young kids with 3 and 4 kids manage! Crazy!

A big department store is going out of business here - Value City - so I might run over there tonight and see if they have anything.

Well, Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning all

Donna, I agree with you, I buy a lot at Costco and split up with my sisters. We do what we have to now days.

Now as for the weather.....just when we thought things had calmed down we got buried with snow again! It is amazing! This is the most at one time for the season so far. I just went out and measured, there is 22 inches on the ground, all in a 2-day period. I took some pictures I'll post later.

DH is trying to get his snowmobile trailer un-buried, and he's heading for the hills later today. He just can't pass it up when the snow is this deep. No thanks...I'm staying home with cat and dog.

Judy, please keep all the snow in the mountains

Donna I hear you. Half and Half went up to 3.50 a quart here. That is incredible. We have switched to milk. $14.00 a gallon for half and half is just more than I am willing to pay. And beef, coffee, all out of control. I needed peanut butter and other staples two weeks ago. It cost me over $180.00 because I waited so long for sales which didn't come I was totally out.

Ahoy there Afters. After a warm couple days our winter temps are coming back. But, PLEASE keep the snow you all! YIKES Reggae, 22 inces is 20 inches too much :lol

The installers are here working on the wood floors...they should finish up today. I am working from home today and will be off tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to go for more blood work. I failed one test from last week and need further testing. Afterwards I am going to look at bedroom furniture. With the furniture moved and out of the bedroom and cleared off I am noticing how shabby it is looking, LOL. Then maybe it just needs a good coat of lemon oil

I am anxious to get this house back in order so I can start to concentrate of packing for the Emerald. Other then that, there isn't much else new here. Hope everyone is behaving!

Good Morning all -

Donna I agree just one day closer. We sail on the Legend 3/2 which is the first week of our first B2B so I'm really excited.
Not much else going on here just looking forward to the weekend.

Good Late Morning! I am probably the last person in today! :wave

It is much colder here today and the ocean is all churned up after last night's wild weather. We had some crazy wind, sleet and heavy, heavy rain here by the coast and I was up all most all night long because of it. My dear cat was plastered to my side until around 3 a.m.

Made a huge pot of coffee this morning - Kona coffee from Hawaii. I will need the whole thing to feel human today.

Donna - I hear you about food prices. We spend alot for the three of us every month and I try really hard to shop the flyers and go to the Market Basket supermarket whenever I can because their pricing is better. Funny thing - when I was in Hawaii I got to meet my friend's family that live there and we got to talking about cost of living. One of the neices was telling me that milk over there costs $9 a gallon and I just read recently that the last dairy in Hawaii (Oahu) was closing so I guess that price just went up!

Reggae - I LOVE the snow and this year even I am thinking that 22 inches in 2 days is just too much! I can't wait to see your pics!

Enjoy all your countdowns to cruises! Getting ready for a cruise is one of my favorite things to do (besides the cruise itself).
