Hope you get some sunshine soon Sharron...after all, you are in the Sunshine State!

thanks nfc, beginning to think they should rename it to the rainy state, first year that i've been unhappy down here but then, would be unhappy with the snow too

GM everyone.
We went to Red Lobster and hubby was quite disappointed, very little fish on the menu.

I hope he can too!! How is the house coming along?

Slowly but surely. He'll only be home a couple days then it's back to Casper to hit it hard. Got word from Home Depot the kitchen appliances will be delivered the 11th of Jan. so no time to waste.

Princess is 100 % , but apparently we are not meant to have 'Christmas' with our family this year. Today we were supposed to go to our daughter's to celebrate grand daughter's birthday. Princess is on the phone right now. Daughter called, and she and SIL are both sick. Probably picked up something on the plane or while in California.

Sorry to hear about the bug going around Sour.

Planning on a lazy day...

Lazy days can be quite enjoyable, have a good one!

Love your hair that way.

Wish I could do something with mine. Baby fine hair never would hold a set, perm. or anything since I was a child. Shoulder length - my son wants me to hack it off. I usually do crop it short for winter - because hat hair looks even worse when you use hoodies or a knit cap. Hmm. maybe my mad bomber hat will look good.

Thanks. It was really long and thick a few years ago, and frankly I just loved it. I could pile it up on my head, like in the photo Tam posted, or pony tail it, or wear it down - just pick a style and go. Then I discovered a “miracle” cleansing product called “Wen” and fell in love with it. I actually bought it by the gallon and used it exclusively for over a year! My hair was softer and shinier than ever! But it started to thin, badly. I’d had surgery about that time and it wasn’t unusual for anesthesia to cause a little thinning, so I wasn’t worried at first. But it got worse and worse....pink scalp showing in places. Then Jen saw a news report that there was a class action lawsuit against Wen for the very thing I was experiencing - severe hair loss. Some people were lucky and after they stopped using the product their hair started coming back. Others never did get back to what they had before. I am one of those. So I could either have thin, stringy hair or cut it all off and try to start over. It’s been super short ever since. So I went from this:

To this:

That photo of Little Diane and me was taken in 2011, so mine was even a little longer that that when the Great Hair Exodus happened.

Boy, got to this party late but Happy Birthday Blooie!
Hope it was a great one!

It was quiet one, Sean, just the way I like them! Thanks!

We have a storm front moving it so it's already windy and tomorrow is going to be bitter cold. Some day we'll have temps in the 70's again...some day...

Yeah, two days of 70s followed by weeks of 90-105.

I love fresh caught fish, especially walleye! Roads are kind of crappy so I hope there are no accidents.

Walleye are my very favorite, best caught by a campsite on a lake or river in eastern South Dakota and cooked over a campfire the same day! Here walleye are considered “trash fish” because they decimate the wild trout populations. People are beginning to figure out how fun they are to catch and how good they are to eat, so the walleye fishery is picking up, but it’s still strange to watch somebody excitedly pull in their line, cuss and say, “Just a blankety blank blank walleye.”

DH is due home from Casper today. Our roads are pretty clear but that darned wind is howling...hope he can keep the wheels on the road!

Several semi trucks blown over on I 25 near Wheatland yesterday, Debby. What part of a “70-80 mile an hour wind warning, trucks with trailers prohibited” don’t those drivers understand?

Princess is 100 % , but apparently we are not meant to have 'Christmas' with our family this year. Today we were supposed to go to our daughter's to celebrate grand daughter's birthday.

I’m sorry the wuzwels are hitting your family, especially when you had plans to spend time together. By our ages, every minute we can spend together is priceless.

GM everyone.
We went to Red Lobster and hubby was quite disappointed, very little fish on the menu.

I have been unhappy with RL for a couple of years now. Lobster tails the size of shrimp, prices up, quality down....used to be my favorite place to eat. Now for my lobster fix we hit the Wind River Casino in Riverton. The Red Willow restaurant in there has huge lobster tails, and the cocktail shrimp are the size of RL lobster tails! $29.00! The butter is served in little fancy holders with a flame under it so it stays nice and hot and melty-down-your-chinny decadent! You listening, Debby? Good stop on your way to Casper if you take that route. But the casino allows smoking, and you have to walk through the casino part to get to the restaurant. I’m a smoker and it’s strong to me! But once you get into the restaurant you don’t smell it, so your meal is stink-free. Ken has a visitation in Riverton on Jan 11 but I don’t think I’m going unless Jen can get her appointment changed. Otherwise I have the girls. But we’ll be there on the 18-20th again for the Grand Master’s Winter Reunion so I’ll get my lobster then!
