Nope....I ain't a-gonna do it! ;D Took me too long to get the hang of this whole "retired" thing!

My day planner is very full today...all things of home and family. It would be difficult to NOT be content!

Hope St. Nick fills your stockings really well tonight!

You know it's been a good day when I didn't have to unleash the flying monkeys.

Light snow but nothing will build up as it's 37 degrees right now. It's been raining now for three days straight, we need the rain. I just wish it would happen Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, not Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I should be getting my new Kindle today and am looking forward to it. I've read 71 books on the one I have now. I think I've had it four years or since it came out which ever is accurate.

Your spelling may vary.

So Virginia ends up in Atlanta at the Chic-Fil-A bowl. With an SEC opponent--Auburn. Kind of a comedown for last year's national champs, but totally unexpected for the 'Hoos who turned their season around big time. Game is on NYE, but at least it's not Sunday when all the C-F-A's are closed.

Mornin'.....

Awaiting delivery of a new bed for us, a queen pedestal with lots of drawer space underneath. Which means this body won't have to keep climbing up off the floor to get up. It also will piss off the 17 year old cat who likes to hide under our bed. ;D

Depending on when the bed comes, I'll go back to Fowler and get my PA and mic stands, etc. Also will install baseboard and door trim in music room.

Cold out.
