The last day of January already&#33;  Where has this month gone?  Nothing special planned for today other than to grocery shop for Jim&#39;s dinner tomorrow.    I still don&#39;t know what I am cooking but I&#39;m sure I will find something.  <br /><br />Jenn - doesn&#39;t the thought of spring sound nice right about now?   I can&#39;t wait to clean off the deck furniture and have my morning coffee out there but it is far far away from the looks of things.   Be careful is all that snow.  Did you have your day at the races yet?<br /><br />Rose - Another booking for you - hooray&#33;  That should help to get you through tax season.  Don&#39;t fuss too much over food for the super bowl.  If Howie is anything like Jim he could eat cardboard and care less as long as I don&#39;t stand in front of the TV when I put the snacks down on the table.   <br /><br />Maria - Good luck to your granddaughter on her audition.  I&#39;m sure she is very talented and will do well.  Glad you are settled back in at home - now you can start looking for your next cruise.  <br /><br />Carmen(M) - your talk of NY has my mouth watering for a taste of Little Italy and dinner at Puglias complete with their homemade wine.   Hope you get back there again one day<br /><br />Gail - sorry about your roof - that happened to us when we lived on Staten Island and it happened two days before we put our house on the market to sell - definately not a good selling point.  Sounds like your weather is just like ours here in Pa.  <br /><br />Steve - If your accountant is promising &#036;20,000 refunds can you please post his address for all of us here.  Perhaps he should run for public office next&#33;  Glad your back is a bit better.  <br /><br />Carmen&reg; glad to hear your leg is a bit better but hope it will be completely healed by Monday.   Isn&#39;t it a shame when work interferes with our cruising?<br /><br />Joey - Didn&#39;t make it to the Emerald City yesterday but the wind still is blowing pretty good so perhaps today.  Better try on that suit and make sure you are all ready for Monday.<br /><br />Tonia - your menu for superbowl day sounds yummy.   It won&#39;t be long now before you are back on your favorite shift at work.   Yeah&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Sue - cross stitching is so beautiful but  so much work.   I have a tablecloth my Mom made for me that I cherish but am afraid to use.  <br /><br />Cheryl - hope you survived your day without Spongebob.  hehe - they sure can drive you crazy can&#39;t they - but if it keeps them amused for even a few minutes that is fine with me.   At our house TJ is going through his Blues Clues phase and of course Ash is really into Hannah Montana.  <br /><br />Jackie, Keith &amp; Rita, Rat and Robin - hope you  have  a good day and find a chance to stop by and say hi.<br /><br />Chatted on a bit too long and lost track of time.   Need to get the coffee going and get Jim up and moving.  I&#39;ll be back later on to finish up.<br /><br />Make today a special one.
