I wasn't going to write anything today, because everything is the same old same old. I woke up, got my coffee, sat in my comfy chair...then went on the stair stepper for seven minutes, yay me.
I rested a bit, went on the exercise bike, rested, had another coffee, washed some dishes, and vacuumed. So exciting I can't even stand it! I did talk to both Kathryn and Margaret on the phone, and texted Sonja.
Charlotte Claire went to her college classes this morning, and is stopping at Aldi for me on the way home. I realized that when the grandkids are here on Saturday, it'll be Valentine's Day, so I want to make it special for them. Ice cream sounds good in February, right?
Dinner tonight: smashburgers. Why do they taste so good? Iron frying pan, caramelized onions, beef patties smashed down into crispy thinness, lots of freshly ground pepper, salt...maybe a little bit of melted cheese...mmm.
Camille is making the most beautiful merengues for a Valentine's party she's going to, I'll get a pic when I get up.
I was going to make a list of things that bug me, but I have forgotten what was bugging me, and THAT bugs me. One thing though that I absolutely despise: the death penalty. I just can't. no way, no how. How can it not totally negatively effect anyone who has a part in carrying it out? How can it possibly be helpful for victims' families? It is barbaric. Most of those people are on death row for years! It seems that most of them have apologized and repented, what good does it do to strap them down and kill them? I also hate when hard working immigrants are rounded up and deported. They've been practically invited to waltz over the border in previous years. They came, the built lives, got jobs. I am not talking about criminals or gang members. Mariel works with a few guys who were deported, they bought a house, had good jobs, were doing all the paperwork they were supposed to be doing. A local mom worked at a nutrition bar company here in town, she was sent to a detention center without her 13 and 15 year old sons, they decided to join her, and are all back in El Salvador...she was working, they were doing extremely well in school...why?
This isn't political, it's just how I feel.
Anyway. It's a few hours later, and we didn't have smashburgers for dinner. Paul had to leave, so he made himself some eggs, he's the one who likes those burgers the most, so they're on hold until tomorrow night. I made bacon and eggs for Cam and I, and Char had some cheddar sausages.
Camille is going to band practice tonight, she plays the violin. Charlotte is going to make some chocolate covered strawberries for their party tomorrow. I am going to help her. :).
I'm hoping to go to the pool tomorrow...if it warms up a little and isn't as snowy and slippery out there...:)

It's always good to catch up with you here, Della. It sounds like you have some fun to look forward to for Valentine's Day! Hoping you get to the pool tomorrow! Keep up posted! xo
Thank you Terri. If it's not too snowy, and Paul isn't too busy work wise, we'll go to the pool...that way I can at least walk a little less, but let me tell you: the distance down that sidewalk is very daunting! Especially because I did it the other day and it was very challenging. I need to do it though!
I do like reading about the everyday things from people. Those smashburgers sound so good! Such a shame you didn't have them but there's always tomorrow.
The death penalty does sound barbaric but in some cases I think it is fair when there is no remorse shown. It is shocking about the people being deported. I have seen it mentioned on the news and I feel so bad for those families being ripped apart.
I hope you make it to the pool and it has warmed up a bit.
