as I slopped coffee all the way to my craft room to talk to you!
I DID get the deadbolt installed............
Took it back to the hardware store, told them my easy install lock turned into a work up a sweat nightmare!
It was threaded wrong....I got a new one.
I DID get the new dryer delivered & installed, and yes, it works, and no it doesn't want to start a fire!
I DID get to the wine & cheese party last Saturday night.
Although I did have to go through the checkstop in town first.
RCMP: "We're looking for impaired drivers, you don't look impaired, are you impaired?"
Me: "Not yet!"
So in 3 hours I had 1/2 a glass of wine, and 1/2 inch of port..........
not that I would drive drunk, I'm not crazy!
I had an emergency oil change Thursday night!
Yes, there is such a thing!
My check engine oil light came on, and when I opened the hood of the van,
I could see oil leaking out of somewhere onto the lovely white snow!
One of Vanessa's friends stayed late to change my oil for me.
The oil pan plug was loose & so was my filter!
OI!
I DID get the cookies made for the library, and also sent some to Vanessa's work, and took some to mine!
Monday I got to work to this....
This next one was on my desk & said "Please Return."
It's sewer pipe people!!!! Ewwww!
Remember this post where we were "The coldest place on Earth!?
This was the average temperature on my way to work last week!
Today the wind is howling, and it's + 3.5 F.
Not good people, not good!
Thursday night I got home after 8 pm, and look what followed me home!!!!
The county grader!
I gotta stock up on poppycock!
Yesterday I fired up the snowblower,
which doesn't want to fire up for some reason,
and got rid of the foot of snow to the left of the van.
I blew off the foot or so of snow on all the pathes.
Also, the guys from work sent a grader over; but not before I cleaned out the parking lot!
That's ok, the yard is clean!
Another reason for the windy, warmer temp to go away!
It' will turn my newly blown paths to ice!
Remember last year
(and I'm sorry I keep saying that; like I ever remember anything!)
I made these......
Well, I'm doing it again!
Here's the Hot Chocolate on a Stick, before it's on a stick.
My first batch of fudge was too hard, so I had a redo!
But don't worry, nothing will go to waste,
Vanessa and I have already giggled about who's friends will get what, and LIKE it!
Here are the bags I made to put 2 each into.......
I need 50 pieces of Hot Chocolate on a Stick!
I skipped a step making the bags once I caught on, and my top flap is 1 1/2 inches!
Here's the process, with some bagged!
And here they are in their little gift giving bags!!!
I made a 3 X 3 card so Ray's sister could add her business card.
She wanted something different for her clients, and this is what I did.
She only wanted the Hot Chocolate on a Stick;
these bags were my idea.
Vanessa's sure she'll love them!
I got tired last night so still need 10 more, but will getter done!!!!
That's all I have on my "Have to Get it Done Yesterday" list!
I'll get some Christmas cards addressed today;
I have to quit saying my cards are not done.
People think they're not made yet!
hahahaha
Of course they're MADE, just not addressed & in the mail!!!
And I hear stamps are going up!
A LOT!
Kalen will be home next weekend.
Vanessa & I have to take a whole whack of her stuff out to the seacan for storage.
I also need to get some blankets out of the camper!
One of the kids (Vanessa) will be camping out in the living room.
This week shouldn't be so crazy.
Ha, I say that now.
I have dinner with the gf's twice this week, different gf's.
I have to go to one of the gf's for a lesson on how to get into the neighbors house,
cause I'm signed up to look after both while they're away at Christmas.
Last year I couldn't get the key to work!
It was darn cold, and I just waited for her plants in the window to die,
then I would know the furnace was out!
hahahaha
Hey, I did feed her birds!
I have my priorities!
Better go, have to get the laundry out of the washer,
probably have to go find the lid off Shadows food. AGAIN!
Gotta get those 10 bags of chocolaty goodness done!
I'm sure I'll get side tracked 20 times, but stuff will get done!
Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!!!

Sounds like a fun time at the Luck house!!
That darn fudge looks so yummy. If I make it, I eat it, so don't make it. :(
Very little baking going on here this year as we will be alone, except for Sadie and she only likes yogurt as her sweet stuff. lol
Have fun.
Myrna
Still a lot going on but it does sound as if fate had had taken a more favorable turn! So much fun to read as usual! All those bags you made, wow! Keeping my fingers crossed that you get the candy done soon!!
