Hi everyone! I put my tree up. I don't think I have ever waited this long to decorate. LOL I didn't put the whole tree up. I took the top, "packed" in a pot, and decorated it. It was really odd decorating without DDs. I didn't like it much.
DD18 went up to the mountains and is heading home. Keep her in your prayers for a safe trip home. Dust storms are heading our way, there was a 20 car pile up on the freeway with a few fatalities, then another accident on the freeway. All the traffic is being routed to the highway that DD is taking home. Lots of frantic people out there trying to get to where they need to be and being routed in a way that will take them an hour or more longer. OK, they just reported 2 more accidents on 2 more freeways and they have those closed as well. YIKES!!! Dust storms are nasty. Praying DD18 and her friends make it home just fine. :o Working on X-mas presents (handmade cards for family in town) and a present for one of my brothers, his wife, and their little one. We pick names and the tradition is you have to make the gift. Also waiting for my C to get here. Should have been here a while ago. Vonn - How the heck do you do that? Like Sandy, I can't afford to do them this year. However, my SIL was telling me her sister sends out over 400!!!:eek: Crazy. Sox - Continuing to keep your friend and her family as well as you in my prayers.:hug: Sandy - Hoping for good weather for your party. Kelly - I am still in my pjs too. LOL With my luck, I'd get in the shower and the Fed-X guy will come with my Copaxone. :rolleyes: Pam - Have fun with your family!:hug: Debbie - Hoping you get some rest. :hug: I think I would have a hard time sleeping with the CPAP too. I am sure people get used to it. Hi everyone else! Hope you all are having a good day!:hug::hug::grouphug: |
you guys are too funny ... remember? I've been creative with having no income ... and I don't need to 'buy' anything but paper products, gas and stamps ... and I have to budget each month - and I have done this every year ... and I have been prepared - by buying stamps all year long ... so, I haven't had to buy stamps for my letters ..
and - for an update: talked with my lawyer today ... guess who's looking at a hearing in February??? he said it, I didn't ask ... and I have to still see a 'therapist' for depression ... for his defense for my case ... |
hugggsss all
Debbie, I hear ya, they say get good rest, get good sleep...then spasms and such..sorry you are having troubles!! (I am always like rest, when??) I use to send cards to bunches of people...sorry to say last year and this one.. I just keep cards near by with stamps and when a card comes in to me, I send one out to that person.... Tk, sounds like you got the Christmas Spirit bug yeahhhh hey all, I was so touched today, I was at work, with my santa hat on, it has a golden arches, and a few of my McDonald's Christmas pins.... anyhow... I usually chit chat with customers... service you know... love chatting with kids... and this time of year especially... so there was a boy.. had to be only about 3, he had a baby brother too... I walk up and say hi to the family... look his way... and say " hey, are you ready Christmas is almost here" and he says.. reminder he is only 3 "yes I am ready, baby Jesus is coming soon" WOW I got teary eyed... just touched such a young age and knows the true Christmas meaning... So just had to share with my daily insights family! Cause you are ALL family to me, I love you all tremendously... and thank you for always putting up with my blah blah about pain...hehe I love how we chat about daily stuff going on.... Merry Christmas early to you all!! Hoping the holidays bring cheer, health, and wonderful moments for each of you! hugsss,sarah |

nope, Jackie .. haven't watched it .. and probably won't - I'm a scare-dy cat!!
oh - just to clarify ... the majority of the letters are for my tax business - and I've been doing this annual letter for about 15 years ... and they sorta 'expect' it ... and ... uh, I don't buy ANY Christmas gifts ... so, really - that's all I spend for Christmas ... that's about $50 and I've covered everybody ... to me - that's Christmas ... |
Geez can I stop running now!!?? It has been a busy day... washing, packing, errands, ... our sons wanted to do "santa" gifts tonight. The oldest isn't going with us this time...he's got other fish to fry during the holidays. This way we don't have to cart all the wrapped gifts to grandma's house! They didn't even want them wrapped...just pull them out of the store bags they said! So we saved our paper wrappings for another year:p. They were happy with their three gifts each... both were more excited about the candy and "chocolate" coal they had in their stockings!:D We made some of Kelly's turtles...the recipe you left on the stumble inn. They were a hit and sooooo easy to do. It will be my contribution to the family feast at grandma's.
I'll be back in a few days... everyone stay safe this holiday season! No freezing buns, accidents, or humbugs allowed!! :D Enjoy your gatherings with family and friends. You will all be in my prayers this season :grouphug: |
Off to make graham cracker houses with the wee ones.lol.:D
Then to be Mrs. Santa in the first grade! Everyone who is traveling....may you be safe!:hug: Bless you all!:grouphug: |
Good morning everyone! Have my coffee in hand, paint is drying on a painting, and getting ready for a busy day. DD18 made it home safely. So glad I wasn't traveling anywhere yesterday.
DD18 and I will be heading over to my parents this afternoon to help package up the cookies and to help decorate gingerbread people. My mom makes them for my niece and nephews every year for their stockings. She used to do this for my girls when they were little. Now my girls help her. That should be an interesting chore. LOL Hope you all have a good day, are staying warm, and enjoying the holiday preparations.:hug::grouphug: |
Morning all. Anybody else know already there is no way they are going to be ready for Christmas on time? Whew. Glad I'm not the only one. I know. It will all work out. It always does.:cool:
My first annual work critique has come and gone. My supervisor said she wished she could give me more hours, and a raise, but couldn't, due to the crappy economy. I knew about the hours, but held out very slim hope for a raise. I'm disappointed, but not surprised. I was nice to hear she would if she could. I can hardly believe I've been there for a year already. Where did that year go? DS has half a day of school today and then he is done for the year. :) When DH comes home today I am stuck with him under foot too until the new year. :rolleyes: DD and I work some over the next week so it isn't a total vacation for us. Things to do, better get moving. To those who are traveling, stay safe. Extra hugs for those feeling a little blue. I lost a favorite relative at this time of year a long time ago. The tears have dried, but my heart still mourns. Prayers for all. :hug::grouphug::hug: |
