Focus on your own needs for today

That is exactly what I plan to do. I have a few small things to do around the house but other than that I am hanging out on the couch watching movies and surfing blogs for most of the day. 

I thought I was going to get lucky, when pretty much everyone around me has been sick I have not been. The last two days my head has hurt and now I am congested and coughing.
Blah!

More Wordless Wednesday here.

A boy from Allison’s class has called here three times this evening.
Once during dinner.
My husband is not amused!

I feel they are only in third grade, it’s too young to be freaked out. Right?

We have been having some crazy weather here in Michigan. After a good size snow fall the last couple of days have been warm and rainy. In the 60’s! Last nigth we had nasty storms and hail come through, with it still raining all day today. Now I am hearing it’s going to all freeze up tomorrow and the next day droping down in the 30’s and 20’s. So it looks like I’ll be ice skating to work by the end of the week.

Finally a new episode !
With all of my shows being reruns or not even airing during the holidays, it feels like forever. I think I’ll stay awake for this one and not even DVR it.

A Cowboy’s Wife is having a contest on her food blog ! You can win a Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer and she’ll ship anywhere so everyone is eligible!

The Prize:

The winner will receive a brand new
Hamilton Beach 4.5-qt. Eclectrics Stand Mixer, Pineapple Yellow!!
About the mixer:

From Hamilton Beach’s “Eclectrics” line, this all-metal stand mixer comes with a host of accessories - a Flat Beater for cakes and cookies, a Dough Hook for bread and a Wire Whisk for whipped cream or pudding. The 4.5-qt. stainless steel bowl comes with a Pouring Shield that helps prevent splattering while in operation. The pouring shield has a built-in chute for adding ingredients. Powered by 400 watts, the stand mixer has a two-way mixing action to ensure all ingredients are incorporated into the mix. The quick-release, tilt-up head assists when removing the bowl. 9 x 14 x 14-in. When you’re ready for a kitchen re-do, don’t call in the carpenters! Instead, “counterscape” your kitchen with Hamilton Beach’s retro-designed, affordably priced electrics in happy, sun-saturated colors. Their “Eclectrics” line includes updates to those classic appliances from the 1950s. All of their “Eclectrics” are available in six colors: Apple Green, Moroccan Red, Pineapple Yellow, Intrigue Blue, Sugar White and Licorice Black.
