BTW, Tina---don't fret the cobwebs.....they'll be there for you to clean whenever you get around to it.
I was watching on the news earlier about the fires in CA....do they know yet what started it? Earlier they didn't know. Terrible when they get going. Couldn't imagine it.
My yard work is mostly done. I guess we will end up with lots more leaves and we will have to take care of that. And I have a few things blooming yet that I will have to cut down and then I will put leaves on my bed but the majority of my yard work is done. Now that we have that all cleared up....
What is everyone up to tonight? I am doing some laundry and am about to make supper. Other than that I will just be hanging out and doing things around here.
Forgot something...sorry to hear about the fires! Hopefully they stay away from you, Tina and Enrique! I hadn't seen it on the news yet....will have to watch tonight.
Just having breakfast for dinner.....scrambled eggs with mushrooms and sausage in them.....pretty yummy! I love breakfast food anytime.
Not much going on here tonight. Some dishes to do, and my Dancing with the Stars is on.... And the Hills....yes I watch it, I know, I know it's bad. But I like it.
No fires too near me. The winds are still roaring although a little calmer this afternoon. My electricity keeps going off once in a while. Our news has been on all day, no soaps or Oprah here today. Just watching houses burn.

I forget that not everybody is getting their flower beds ready for winter. You are so lucky to be able to garden all year round. It's GREAT that you love your grandma, so many grandkids take the for granted....to buy them stuff, and cook for them, give them money. It's nice that you really love hanging out with her and can say that she's awesome.
I went shopping today too. Got Mark a few DVD's for Christmas and a few things for my niece and nephew. And one last thing for the swap package.....Just a tiny little thing that I pushed on top.
yea they sure do its not right.. me and grandma do everythign together! and im the one who cooks for her! lol we love cooking together she taught me everything i know! lol she taught my momma too lol!
and yes it is nice beign able to garden all yr round but the heat is a pain! it really is lol! i jsut whish we could have some weathe rin the low 60s once every week that'd be perfect!
what did u get them? lol sounds like you ahd a fun shopping daya s well!

what?? yard work?? I haven't been feeling too good lately, went to the doctor yesterday and I have an ear infection, a good on he said-80.00 for med's and 102.00 for the doctor. he shot me up and sent me home.
I felt better after the shot and took Ashley shopping for a winter coat (kept her out because you never know how long it'll take to see the doctor around here) while we were there shopping one of the stores was haing a great sale got her 300.00 in winter school clothes. got everything she'll need now except a few plain white tee under shirts and snow pants. (I usually get those used off ebay because we don't get but a couple snows a year and they are only for her to play in the yard in)

I woke to no electricity again this morning. And then it came back on and I am watching fires on the news again. There is one much closer to me than any yesterday and I think I will keep my kids home from school. Mostly because I don't want to have to find my way through all of the mess in traffic. The fires are between school and my home. I am feeling pretty safe from fires right now though. Just want to stay out of the way of people who really need to be out and about.

Tina, I think that is a good choice to keep your kids home. If you were lucky enough to get thme there, I would worry that the minute I got home, the school would call met to come back and get them, because of the fires.
I will pray the fires do not reach you---.

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
The nearest fires to me are about 10 miles away. And I'm not too worried that those will reach me at this time. But I would need to go in that direction to take Ted to school and I want to stay out of the traffic quagmire. Although the news was just talking of re opening the closed freeway in that direction. So that should clear soon. For fires I would more worry about any beginning to the north of me right now. That is the direction of the prevailing winds. And the winds are picking up again with 50 mph gusts. but we are watching and waiting. I do have to take Jonni to the dentist later anyway this morning. But that is doable even if I have to drive the long way around. So I get time to have an extra cup or two this morning. All is well.

I was named after the Frank Sinatra song Laura. Dad would play it to me when I had colic and it helped me to stop crying.
I was named after the laura in dr. chivago (how close did I get on the spelling?) I've never even seen the movie. I guess I should watch it one of these days.
I didn't make it to work today. my foot is hurting so bad today I can barely walk. I shouldn't be at this computer, but I hate to just sit in that recliner with my foot up all day and watch tv. makes me want to scream! were getting some sprinkles today. it's been so dry we really need some real rain, but we'll take what we can get.

The school closest to the fires did close. My kids schools are not close but they are on the far side of the fires from our house. I didn't want to mess with the traffic. I did take Jonni to her dental app't and went way around. We are home now and a nap is looking very good.

The fires nearest me are all out now. And the winds have died back, so we are good. Los Angeles still has some flames happening but with the winds down they should be able to get a handle on them,
