Amazing another 2 posts in one day

Tonight I set the first fire in the wood stove - the wind is from the north and the living room is on the north side of the house - It is just a small fire to acclimate the stove and take the chill off but it is a fire. Not to mention I get to burn a bunch of credit card offers and other mail you don't want to throw in the dump.

It feels wonderful -- I do love winter and wood stoves and I really love getting rid of that mail like this...

Your dinner cost HOW MUCH???

Was talking to a friend tonight and he was saying that he and his dear wife decided to go out for dinner tonight - they went to a little place a couple of towns over from us and had ...... 1 beer, 1 margarita, split an appetiser, he had soft tacos and she had fajitas no dessert nothing else to drink - so how much should that have been ......................................................................
$100 plus tip!!!! I asked if the dinner was made with Kobe beef at least. I'm sorry but that is just plain ridiculous.

Hopefully tomorrow I will have a post with pictures - I misplaced my cord to get pictures from the camera to the computer -- and haven't felt good enough to try to figure out where I put it (somewhere totally logical I am sure which is why I can't remember it right now) hehehe
