HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!
I hope you know you are loved, even if you aren't told every day.


Wednesday and Thursday passed as Happy Homemaker days.  Oh, what fun! (not!!) Believe it or not, the house is still pretty clean after the big clean it got for our Super Bowl party, so it's basically just laundry and dishes, which is my definition of normal.  Blah.

On Friday, I went down the road to do my grocery shopping.  My weekly visit to the Wals - Walgreen's and WalMart - as well as a trip to Kroger for a couple of items.  The reason I went to Kroger was:  as I looked in my purse for something last night (Thursday), I found a pink envelope. "What is this?" I thought as I opened it, and it was a "Thank You" note and a Kroger gift card from the friend I had taken for the medical procedure on Tuesday.  The little sneak had put it in my purse sometime on Tuesday!  I texted her to let her know that I found my pleasant little surprise and she texted back "tee hee."  So, I picked up a few more common items at Kroger than I usually do since I wouldn't have to pay real money for them.
I decided to go to LaRosa's for my lunch while I was down in Amelia, since it was Friday and all.  I used to eat at LaRosa's all the time when I was working, and I loved their tuna sandwiches.  In the years since, though, they had changed their tuna - they added carrots to it (yuck!) - and now, guess what?  They don't even have it any more!  Surprise!  When you ruin something, no one buys it any more, that's gonna happen...anyway, I got a calzone with the 4-cheese mix and mushrooms, tomatoes, and onions with a basket of fries.  I was half an hour too late to get the lunch deal, but I quite enjoyed my lunch, anyway!
After my lunch, I got my shopping done.  Stopping here, there, and everywhere is not always a lot of fun - not with an arthritic back on these cold days - but it's something that needs done, and I enjoy going out and about, so I do it.  I don't have much else to look forward to, now, do I?
I got home, got all the bags carried in, and everything put away and collapsed into my recliner to await the arrival of my fellers for the evening.

Ron got home, but he was by himself.  They were going to drop Corgan off later, as they were going out, so we had time to rest up and enjoy our own TV.  HaHa.
They did drop Corgan (and his friend, Justin) off and went off on their own endeavors.  After they got their stuff settled back in the bedroom, we went up to church to the first fish fry of the season!  We like to support our own church this first week of fish fry season.  No guilt over going to other fish fries after that - in our minds, anyway.
Luckily, the boys didn't really want the TV when we got back home, so Ron and I got to claim it.  And so Friday ended.


Saturday was spent spending time with the boys.  They'd go outside for maybe 10-15 minutes, then come in because it was so cold and we'd all play cards or Wii, and the cycle would happen again.  It was a good day.  I did run over to Felicity to buy something for supper, because everything I had here was split up into 'meals' for just us two, and I had to feed six people tonight.  But that was only a blip in our day/cycle, and it continued all day long.  We were glad when Josh and Chelle got here and gave us a small break from being the only ones playing games with them.
After supper and all of us playing a game, they left for home and Ron and I claimed our TV once again.


Sunday - today, Valentine's Day - normally a church and lunch day now that football is over, was just that.  Before we left for church, I managed to sneak back into the bedroom and put two Butterfinger hearts (bought at Walgreen's on Friday) on Ron's pillow for him to find later.  I was hoping he would have some kind of something for me some time today, but I wasn't sure.
After church, we went up to Georgetown for our lunch.  He got his fried chicken dinner, while I got the big breakfast.  As we were sitting there, he tells me that he didn't get me anything.  I told him that that's okay.  I was a bit disappointed, but I'll live.  I know that our finances are a total mess - which is mostly my fault - and he doesn't need to spend his little bit of spending money like that.
As we were coming home, it started snowing.  It didn't quit snowing all afternoon, either, and the roads are a complete mess.  We didn't see a snow plow/salt truck go by until 7:50!  He was headed toward Felicity (south) and he didn't come back the other way (north) for an hour - we assumed that he went all the way down to 52 and back - so, yes, the road was that bad.  There hasn't been another one past since, either.
I am so worried already about Ron's drive in to work in the morning.  He'll be fine once he gets there, getting in that big ol' garbage truck, but the drive in is gonna be hairy.  Many prayers for protection!!


Give each other hugs and kisses whenever you can - just because.
Much love to all!
