SATURDAY MORNING

Good Morning:
Just thought I'd get my post done early while I wait for Mike to get up. Kara and I have been up since 7:30 a.m. Kara got here yesterday about 4:30 p.m. We mostly just sat around and cuddled the rest of the evening. We haven't seen her since Christmas. I think every time I see her it looks like she has grown an inch. I may have to put a brick on her head to stop her growth spurt, or pretty soon she'll be as tall as me and only 9 years old! LOL! Kara is on Webkinz World on her Dad's computer, and you all know where I am. LOL! We have both had our hot tea and she has had some yogurt, and will probably have some toast and a piece of fruit. Me, I'll have my good ole Slimfast, I'm not much of a breakfast eater.

Electric Blanket:
Our electric blanket gave up the ghost last night! Actually it wasn't too bad without it, but I'll really miss it if it gets colder at night again. We have a king size bed and king size electric blankets are $100.00 and up. I don't know if we'll be able to replace it this month or not. We won't need it this weekend, that's for sure, with Kara sleeping with us it's like having a heater under the covers with ya! I don't know what she is going to do when she is too big to sleep with us, you can bet she'll be upset. Which at the rate she's growing won't be too much longer. She is my little snuggle bunny always wanting to cuddle. Anyway when I changed the bed yesterday, and put the electric blanket back on it was working, and then when I got ready to go to bed it was off, and would not come back on. Mike's control was working and so was his side of the blanket,but both my control and my side of the blanket was dead! We unplugged the blanket and controls just to be safe. We should be ok at least for the next week cos it's supposed to be in the 40's during the day, and above freezing at night.

Convection Oven:
I bought a convection toaster oven the other day, and boy do I like it. So far every thing that I have cooked in it has come out great. If I continue to be impressed with it, since it is small and compact I think I will take it with me in the fiver whenever we go somewhere. I bought the ready made cookies that are in the dairy case, so Kara and I will try making them in it later. It's faster and it browns everything nicely. I paid about $46.00 for it so I didn't think that was too bad, and it bakes, broils and toasts. I got it when we went to Lowe's for plumbing supplies, I don't know how it got in the plumbing supplies! Haha! I have used my Mom's oven on convection, but I have never had one of my own to play with. This one is plenty big enough for us and it will bake a 12 inch pizza and you can still close the door, so I really like it.
Well I think that is about it for today, so I'll be seeing ya, somewhere, sometime, somehow so until then...
