Good morning, all my crazy friends.  Shari, I am am glad to know I am not the only one who feels that way about being alone in the house.  I did take my sleeping pills last night and I think I conked out around 1:00 and didn&#39;t wake up until 10:00 this morning.  My son came down and took me to dinner at our favorite mexican restaurant, then he took me to the video store and bought &quot;The Devil Wears Prada&quot; for me so I could watch it last night (been wanting to see it, but didn&#39;t get around to watching it last night).  When we got back to the house, Deal or No Deal was coming on so he stayed to watch it.  As much as I enjoy his company and I think it was so sweet of him to drive an hr. to take care of old mom, I was ready for him to leave because I wanted to finish laying my new floor.  After he left at 9:00, I worked on it until 10:30.  I finished, all I have to do today is cut that metal strip that goes across the doorway - don&#39;t know what they are called, but I am sure you know what I mean - goes on the floor to divide the 2 different kinds of flooring.  After I finish that today, I am going to finish that one section of wall - which is going to take 3 coats of paint.  Want to get all my projects done today so I can do a good cleaning tomorrow - I had to throw everything out of 2 closets so I could tile inside of them so need to sort thru that stuff.  Greg will be home tomorrow night - I can&#39;t wait.  When we flew to Texas last month, Greg forgot to take his pocket knife out before we got out of the car and of course, security took it.  I bought him another one and put it in his stocking.  Tues., he called me after he had boarded the plane and said he had forgotten again and so lost that one too.  I went and bought him another one yesterday.  I told him last night that was the last one I was going to get him - he said he would try to not give that one away.  Robert, are you thawing out any down there yet?   Keith, hope you and Rita have a wonderful day - you seem like such a great couple.  Mary Lou, trying to do my part to keep the thread hopping while the others are away.  I wish I could see Jim&#39;s face when he realizes that all the work he has been doing is really in prep for his party.  Well, guess I had better get started on those projects.   Hope you all have a wonderful day, and stay warm.  Guess that won&#39;t be too hard for CHeryl, Rose, Jeff and all of those who are blessed to live in Florida&#33;&#33;&#33;
