Well there.......
Busy day, running around. I had my skate ski lesson, not sure I am going to be able to walk tomorrow. I didn't freeze to death in 10 degree weather. It was sunny and nice. Costco for Hurricaine ingrediants, hospital for a mtg, paid the mtg/land.
Talked to Mac today, nothing new... have to wait until you get home and then make some decisions. Got nothing done on the costumes today.... cross your fingers I'll stay motivated enough to finish. Hey .. invite RAY and company to the party.
Your picture on the net is a nice one... you look good. No double chin, not too shiny, looks professional or something.
Jack and I had a lovely breakfast dinner while you were out. Jack is suffering... every pet of a cat gives him a big ZAP!! It is a bit dry on the inside...
We are off to bed... I am exhausted and it is 9pm.
love, the panhandle folks
aka, Tropics of Alaska
Jack's computer gets to come to work with me. Hmmmmm, wonder why?

Baby It's cold outside
Arrive to -22 degrees in Fairbank. I had no idea the it was quie this big. we have no car so I think we'll be indoors at the Westmark the whole time. I see the fed dropped he rate another .5% who knows how that shakes out market drops anyway........ Not too much good shwag so far at the display guys but I'll keep my eye open for flashing light junk. Camera has no card in it so I don't have any pics so far to send along. Will check in tomorrow
Love Me
A balmy 9 degrees
I write from the tropics of Alaska.... especially compared to Fairbanks?! We are having a flurry of light fluffy snow along with our 9 degrees... weird?
Enjoyed your little spicey, sausage rice, bean combo last night. Yum! you are hired to cook for the party. I am plowing forward with masks and costumes... it is slowly coming together, probably not my best work.. but by no means my worst. Watched Phathom yesterday, loved the movie.. but not soooo inspiring from the black and white outfit perspective. I may decorate today and get together the hurricaine mixture. Thinking I need to drum up a few more chefs for the bash.
Jack and I did some homework last night, he is eating cereal and I am of course on the morning blog.
Stay warm in the far North, have fun!

MICKEY... MICKEY... MICKEY
Okay... we just returned from the world of Mickey.... Can't believe we came home with nothing Mickey!! Good job!
I think we experienced everything upside down, right side up and sideways... never threw up... this is good! It was a good week... laughed, screamed, smiled...with only a few minor breakdowns. Hard core 12-14 hrs a day... walked many miles. Had a great time with the family... it is nice to spend relaxing time.. not focused on work.. house.. etc
Cats are all present and accounted for... with the glaring exception of Midnight :( We hope she hitched a ride and moved to a warmer climate!
It is always good to be home... wished it was still snowing... raining like a mother..ugh. Always impressed by darkness this time of year... it is 8am and still dark outside. At least we are on the gaining side of the year.
Jack woke up super early... wide awake.. on florida time. John apparently got up, got milk and went to work... who knew?
Today... I'll unpack, do laundry... make a few phone calls and decide what will be my focus for the next couple of weeks. I have several big indoor winter projects to finish before April... best get crackin.
Planning on having a Fat Tuesday party, Feb 5th... need an outfit... of course. I love that!
Enjoying a cup of coffee in my kitchen... listening to some music and planning my day....

No impact man
No impact man!
I have done a bunch of reading about... zero impact, no impact, carbon credits... you get the picture.
While sitting in our hot tub the other night... we discussed what simple things we could do to lessen our impact. Because our names could be... LARGE IMPACT Persons
AFter we build a house... I am sure we will have to come up with an entire new catagory.
1. Turn off our stuff @ night and when we leave the house... simple enough. Next we could get power strips to put all the appliance suckers on ... and turn them off every night. I want to start on Feb 1... and see if we see any blimp in the electric bill.
2. Stop the plastic bags... today is the first time I brought a bag in the store... it didn't hurt and really wasn't that hard.
3. Long ago we switched out the lights.... florescents.
4. My simple fix... switching to locally roasted coffee. They make a good cup!
Pondering our fish consumption in the summer... watch out
Maybe once a month... ... come up with one new idea and review how we are doing?
