lisa - how is your daughter's migraine today?

Thank you, Don! Both would be a hit here! nanny-I'm leaning toward homemade fries! I have a ton of potatoes! I also have stuff to make a simple salad, so may go that route but I'd rather use that for lunch tomorrow w/the leftover chicken. Molly, her migraine started tapering off lastnight & appears to be gone today! I'm sooo relieved! I was incredibly worried lastnight as I walked into the school & they had warning signs posted all over about the special effects lighting being used in her musical. I don't think I took my eyes off her all night....just ready to fly up on stage if need be. Today I feel a weight has been lifted.

Glad to hear it, lisa. Did she get to have her cheer picture taken, also?

Yes! We were able to reschedule her test for this morning before school(bless her geometry teacher). All just fell into place!

lisa, good news about your daughter! And I VOTE fries! :)

Yay, so glad to hear she is better!

I'm so glad to hear your daughter is feeling better. Yay!

Good news, Lisa! Enjoy your weekend.

Thanks, everyone!!

Good morning! We will be ordering pizza and washing it down with beer so this really should have a "&" in the recipe title. Have a great day.

Sounds like a great fri night plan!

Sounds like a good plan CNM.

I love pizza - anytime, even cold for breakfast.

This is our plan tonight as well! Looking forward to the pizza *and* the beer! TGIF.

Cheers to TGIF! I'll be glad to get thru Sat. too. Nothing but pure laziness come Sunday!

Good morning and happy TGIF! Picking up subs from Subway. I have a coupon buy 1 six inch get 1 free! Have a great day

Never go anywhere with teenage girls! I got on the church bus to go to Charlotte for Operation Christmas Child. On the way home 2 teen girls were laughing loudly, histerically and singing at the top of their lungs! I was so glad to walk into my quiet home.

Lol. Be happy it was only 2!!

There were more teens on the bus but not loudly like girls can be!

Try a sleepover of 6-7 1st & 2nd Sopranos. Beautiful music but some of the high notes they hit will burst an eardrum :)

Having spent many years in junior highs, I can tell you that girls scream and yell ALL the time, and boys run!

Enjoy your peace today. I hope you had a fun day other than the bus ride. :)

Deb, I had to leave to go to work. I did enjoy myself. Unbelievable how many shoe boxes there are. If you have never done it, you should. it's an experience you'll never forget!

Morning! I have no clue about dinner tonight, but I'll come up w/ something, lol! I do want to make a batch of these (w/o the icing) today, though.

As long as you have your priorities straight ;)

Looks like Christina and I both have our priorities straight today :)

Mmmmmm-mmmmm. I wish hubby would make dinner once in awhile.

Well, ok, maybe not. I wish he'd show up w/take-out once in awhile :)

I totally agree Lisa! I was going with I wish he would make dinner but then I realized that I was talking crazy...take out would do!

Hi, I accept your kind invitation ladies. When are we going??? cheers

lol! good one Don!

Don I saved this really sounds wonderful. You all can have my DH anytime, he grills great meat..that's it, you do all the other work. But he cooks a great breakfast. :)

;)

Morning sunshines! I'm going easy tonight...this and maybe some garlic bread. Have a beautiful Friday!

Lovin easy!

Might give this a try. Happy Friday All!

Saved - love, love, love perogies. Have never made them, I just buy the frozen Mrs. T brand and add to them and make them many different ways. I am suppose to bring a heavy casserole to a gathering next Saturday night. Thanks, Godzilla - I'm going to use this recipe.

That looks good!

Saved! Loks good. I might add some green onion for color.

There is enough of this leftover for one bowl...DH works the game tonight.

Promised my husband I'd make him some of these...his favorite cookie.

A classic!

That's sweet - my husband wouldn't know what that's like :)

Good morning Lisa and fellow peeps! I've not done a lick of cooking this week, and probably won't until Sunday, but just wanted to stop and say hi! Hubs has been OOT, my parents are taking us out tonight then off to their home in FLA tomorrow, and Saturday we are headed to the new casino here with a good friend, having a bite there! Lots of fun! Everyone take care, and TGIF. Have a great weekend :)

Ooooo, have fun at dinner tonight & win BIG at the casino. Sending good vibes your way!

Thanks, Lisa, love my blackjack! Hope the minimums at the tables are not too high. High stakes makes me nervous and it could end up being a very short evening given my budget! Actually prefer heading to the church casinos, $2 a hand keeps me in the game all night, and even then I always leave a generous donation!

Have fun at the casino tonight, Savvy! We haven't been yet, so I'll be interested to see what you think. Hope you win big!

Have a great night with your folks tonight Savvy. Hope they have a safe trip back here.

Have fun, Savvy. Hope you "win big"!! I've only been to a casino a couple of times. I play the penny machines. lol

Have a great time!

Thanks, ladies, will do. Drinks on me if I hit it big!!!!
