_ **Happy Taterversary!!!** _ For a partly cloudy day, there’s been a real abundance of clouds and lack of sunshine. I have mixed feelings about Vegas - since I’m not a gambler, that doesn’t appeal to me in the least, but I would like to see it, just to see it. We’re talking about taking a camping trip out west, and I’m sure we’ll have to stop there along the way. Some day… maybe next year. ---

Thanks for the anniversary wishes, everyone. We’re just having a chilled out, relaxed day and enjoying it. Hubby will make dinner tonight, which suits me just fine. ---

Another day from hell here in the Midwest. We had about 6 inches of snow overnight. Later tonight another polar vortex is expected so the highs on Monday and Tuesday are predicted to be subzero. Like -7 for a high. I was supposed to have a playdate today (can 50 some year olds have playdates???) but we cancelled due to weather, but it’s sunny and in the 20s now. So I took down the Christmas tree and all the decorations. I get sad taking down the decos. Went for a walk in the snow and am now cooking dinner and lunch and dinner for tomorrow. And having hot flashes so I’m in a tee shirt and shorts… ---

We have heat again. A $10 piece of plastic in the fuel pump drive line shredded, creating the awful racket we were hearing. Some days (well, most of them) I miss the house in Cottonfield County. Wood burning stoves don’t have moving parts… ---

In case anyone was wondering, the crockpot chicken recipe I tried today pretty much sucked. I added carrots and onions and some garlic powder, and it was still bland as all get-out. The recipe is in the garbage, which is where it belongs. ugh. ---

Sweet Hawaiian what? If you’re referring to the chicken dish, it was neither. Just bland. Very bland. ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > Thanks for taking that bullet for me, then… 😉 It was breaded in the picture. I’d think it would slough off in a crock pot. I might make the sauce, and use it like sweet and sour chicken. ---

\*\*BBBobbio \*\*- I did it for you because I care. You owe me, dude!! What a waste of fresh pineapple chunks!! Youse guys probably have no way of knowing, but I’m not a fan of spicy foods, so if I say something’s bland, you can bet it’s pretty much flavorless. ---

OK, so I deleted the recipe share. I can’t give you back the time used in making it, eating it, or cleaning up afterwards. 😛 ---

OYKW and I went to Logan’s Roadhouse for a burger. Well, I got a burger cause I had a hankerin’ for a burger and fries and OYKW got a steak. My burger was really good and he said his steak was great. So win-win! I had to tell him to go ahead and have a beer if he wanted one. See, I’m takin’ these antibiotics so I am abstainin’ from alcohol, cause, well, I’m takin’ antibiotics. He really wanted a beer but said he wouldn’t get one since I can’t right now. Silly man! Ok, kinda sweet of him. So he had his beer. I had a diet Coke. It’s all good. Ok, so who’s up for tomorrow? Next person to post? 😃 ---

Supposedly, we’ll get a little rain Thursday, which we can really use. My hips aren’t sure it’s going to be that long before rain. Skipped deheathenating today, since the digestive system felt a bit touchy and I thought staying near the “facilities” was a good move. ---
