Baby it's cold outside

and they're predicting significant snow on Thursday.

Well, I'm proud of myself for putting air in my own tire this morning. The car was complaining about it and I didn't think I should wait too long. I've done it before, but I'm not too mechanical, being a more analytical type of person. So saying, I know a mom that goes to full serve for her gas fillups. I think most people do that for themselves, even in winter.

I found some date/almond rolls at the grocery that are low calorie and taste good if you like dates. The cashier told me they reminded her of a recipe she uses from her aunt that was rice krispies, nuts and date squares. I should google that.

My mom's follow-up appointment with the heart specialist went very quickly this afternoon, I was amazed when she was called in right on time especially as the waiting room was very busy. The waiting room serves several doctors, though. I waited an hour for my own doctor yesterday.

Ooo. Bundle up! Hope it won't be too bad (unless you like being snowed in?).

I love dates and adore almonds. Mmm. If you find that recipe, I hope you'll share!

PS Well done on the tires!

Mom, I found them at Loblaws, date almond rolls from Bard Valley California, 130 calories per one or two pieces, it says.

Jpra, I had to do another tire this morning! No luck with that recipe so far. Maybe some afternoon snow...ooo.
