welki

with the wind chill at -39C, i was hoping for a grid that would keep me occupied for most of the day

7:45 am

BzznBea

That's cold! I was hoping for a bigger grid just so I could procrastinate some more.

7:46 am

welki

i hear you - i have to wash floors today. ugh.

7:48 am

Dorens

Welki, get a good big jigsaw puzzle. I'm finding them more addictive than Babble these days

7:48 am

Dorens

You too Bea

7:50 am

BzznBea

I spend most of my days in my sewing room, Dorens. Have completed many unfinished projects and started new ones.

7:50 am

welki

hi dorens :)

7:50 am

Dorens

Much more productive. I'm wasting a lot of time on this jigsaw puzzle but for some reason find it so satisfying. I was never really into them before. And hi welki

7:53 am

Dorens

Did either of you watch the superbowl half time show last night?

7:53 am

welki

i have plenty to do, just hard to get motivated

7:54 am

BzznBea

I did not watch.

7:54 am

Dorens

I know I'm getting old and cranky cause I thought it was terrible. kept turning the volume down until I realized thatmuting it would be the best bet

7:54 am

Dorens

I have so much to do that I don't do. just lazy. babble, other word games, puzzles and reading. Housework? hah!

7:59 am

Dorens

Well, what do you know? fireworks. The Wizard of Oz (current puzzle) beckons. So does housework, but which will win? Stay tuned. Enjoy your day, ladies
