Hi all.  Goodness, so many of you are under the weather.  Are you passing it around thru cyberspace?  I hope it doesn&#39;t get into my laptop.  Not much going on today, looks like another gloomy day but at least it isn&#39;t raining right now, but is in the forecast, along with that dreaded &quot;s&quot; word.  Greg is impossible to keep down, he went to the office this morning as he had a important meeting.  I don&#39;t know how his leg is doing because I just talked to his admin. asst. and she said he is still in the meeting and it is scheduled to go until 2:00.  I am sure he will step out and call me when they bring lunch in.  <br /><br />Mary Lou, take care of yourselves.  I wonder if you got the &quot;crud&quot; from your grandkids.  Even though they may not have it, they do carry so many germs that they pick up at school.  I was thinking about that as I have been picking Scotty up at school on Weds. and keeping him until Gregory gets off work, and last week, I noticed lots of sniffling and coughing when the little ones came out.<br /><br />Joey, I think homemade mac and cheese is my ultimate comfort food but I don&#39;t usually want it when I am sick.  Usually chicken noodle soup or potato soup makes me feel much better, but I don&#39;t like the canned kind and hubby couldn&#39;t cook his way out of a wet paper bag.  I make the chicken soup with the frozen &quot;Grandma&#39;e Egg Noodles&quot;, white meat chicken and lots of celery, carrots and onions.  I hate carrots, so I do pick them out but they are one of Greg&#39;s favorite veggies so I do put them in the soup.  I am with David, if I am congested or stuffed up, I want mexican - really clears out the sinuses - but then mexican is my all time favorite food.<br /><br />Deb, do you have a certain day of the week that you do beds?  I always strip and change sheets on Mondays.  It is easier for me to remember when it is time to do it if I have a schedule.  Okay, probably just another part of being anal.  I actually cannot believe that I told you guys that last night - I normally never talk about it or admit to it, although those who know me well, see it - we just don&#39;t talk about it&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Falina, glad to hear that you are feeling better.  Just take things as easy as you possibly can while working and keeping the home firs burning.  Lots of rest, vitamin C and liquids, young lady&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Robert, you and Annie must be getting really excited.  I can&#39;t wait to hear your impressions of the new Bayport Cruise Terminal.  We have been watching for it to open for quite some time, haven&#39;t we???  Your dinner sounds yummy.  I keep thinking that I need to bake a ham so I can make a pot of beans and ham.<br /><br />Kevin, I am watching the 11:00 new on 7 right now - yeah, they say the white stuff is coming&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  I know some of you like it, but in my opinion - winter sucks&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Sending out a big hello to Ed, Steve, Keith, Shaunna, Jenn, Tonia, Martha, Shari, and all the other crazies.  Gotta&#39; go get the brisket cooking and get my chores done....<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
