Right now, L.L.Bean is a great choice, too! Schoolmarm, you're painting an awful cosy picture today! Are you doing any baking? Perfect for a snowed-in day...baked goods are always welcome gifts for those near you.

I need presents for my 7 year old niece (errings and a toy), 5 year old niece (NO CLUE) 5 year old nephew (Lava hot wheels thing). My brothers (two) are hard, and my sister in law. They will probably get gift cards to Lowes'.

I was going to give my parents a trip to Munich with me, but Dad doesn't want to go, dang it.

My family is used to getting presents from me in March instead of at Christmas. I'm terrible with the postage to send things.

I'm going to get myself some really cool things like a desk and a DVD player and a box of Magic "Unglued" (or is it "Unhinged") cards. LOL

I'll probably just wait til the after Christmas sales, since I'm not seeing my family until Dec 27th or 28th...or whenever I can get out of my driveway.

Need hints for the 5 year old!

Right now...

My 5 year old son LOVES the plug&play games. Also those Magnetix type toys (magnetic balls & sticks).

My 5 year old nieces LOVE Brats dolls. I think they look like sluts (the dolls not the nieces!) Also Kids Bop (music) CDs.

Anything Playdoh is always a good backup. And Playmobil sets are sooo fun!

Right now, Texannie, you need a good sad movie to cry over. That'll keep your nose drippin'!!

Marm, why don't you ask what the niece wants/likes? You could also go with cute kid pocketbook and fill it with a coin holder holding a couple of big silver dollars.

Right now I'm feeling quite odd. We are a three car family and I'm stuck at home with no wheels. My husband is at work with his, and both my boys are out with the other two. Not that I need to go anywhere, but ...I'm just not used to being 'stuck' somewhere.

Right now,I just pulled a Lucy. Forgot I sprayed oven cleaner in the oven the other day,never cleaned it out. Threw a pizza in there for lunch,and strange smells took over the kitchen.
I think we may have to have some take-out for lunch.

Everytime I hear a truck outside I run to see if it's Fed Ex and nothing....I hate waiting.......in the mean time I am eating too many Pepperidge Farm cookies and posting online while I sit and wait and wait and wait. It has been 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!

Right now I'm watching my other neighbor get stuck in his driveway.....YUP, It will be a while before I venture out.

At least the REAL snow plow came through this afternoon.

Still no mail!

right now, i am trying to get things together for our quick trip to chico. we'll leave here tomorrow morning and have to come back sunday. this is the first time 'off' i've had where i didn't have to spend my 2 or 3 days with some family crisis or moving my ds 'to', 'from' and 'to a new' town/college...
i am still resenting general manager guy, who has been there 3 months and got 10 days off...i told big boss yesterday that i was feeling resentful and didn't like feeling that way, but i told him all the reasons why...i wasn't going to vent, but big boss got mad at my dd the other day when she ran to the cart barn to get a power cart and didn't lock the pro shop. well, since big boss was there and heard her say she was going to get a cart, she assumed he would keep an eye on the place. sheesh.
well, he reprimanded dd and she cried and i had had it. i told big boss that the last two times i had to run both the pro shop and restaurant, GM was in the back office of the pro shop...or so i thought. well, he can't ring up any sales, never learned, never cared to. and i was serving a guy lunch across the breezeway from the pro shop and look up to see 3 guys at the counter. i figure GM is either trying to ring them up or will ask them to wait and he'll come and get me...after a minute, i don't see any activity, so i have to leave the restaurant to go to the pro shop (which left customers in the restaurant with my cash register, full bar, etc., which is also a no-no... but they were eating lunch, and i couldn't throw them out...) i enter the pro shop and walk behind the counter and look down the hallway and GM's office is empty. he had gone home for the day and didn't even tell me (we were the only two people there that day and no one is ever supposed to be the only employee on the entire course)...
anyway, i figure a 44-year-old man who supposedly owned his own business for "30 years" lol, should know not to leave the place without even telling me. he didn't lock the pro shop and he'd probably been gone at least half an hour! he just has no common sense. dd ran to the cart barn and was gone maybe 30 seconds. you can see the pro shop and the parking lot from the cart path, so she would have known if someone drove up or entered the shop. not the same to me as elvis leaving the building....
anyway, ds returns to san diego tomorrow; dh, dd and i go to chico for two nights where 5 of my siblings and their families will join us, along with my mom and step-father. we'll all eat too much (i have been making spinach dip, hot artichoke dip, cranberry orange scones, chocolate chip cookies, english toffee, salsa, tortilla chips and a cold cut platter; also putting the ingredients together for my pecan, cranberry, blue cheese, romaine lettuce salad....), drink, play games, fight, make up and eat again...remember when kathy griffin was on the celebrity MOLE and they were all fighting at the dinner table? and kathy quipped, "it's a Griffin family Christmas!"?
that's us!
have a great one all. i am hoping the fog that's rolling in will be gone in the morning, since i am driving the motorhome and a lot of the traveling is on a two-lane highway.
a safe and loving holiday to each of you!
juju, i got two more of the down robes from smartbargains when they went down to 29 dollars for a few hours. not as good as getting my dd's for 27 bucks, and i missed the 99 cent shipping by only a few hours--lol--but i am happy to have these cozy robes. my only worry once i got the robes for myself and my mom was that my mom has a lot of allergies. i thought, "oh crap! she's probably allergic to down!" luckily, she's not, although i'm sure my sister blew my surprise when she called mom for me and asked if she was allergic to down. my mom said, "no, but you don't need to buy me anything. you didn't draw my name." and my sister told me she told mom, "no, but i'm not asking for myself." well, to me that would be a big 'duh' on who she was asking for! my sis is a terrible liar (i mean as in not good at it!) and an even worse actress. i would have beat around the bush for a while and then maybe mentioned a friend was getting some down pillows, but was worried about her husband's allergies and would he be allergic. i would say i told the friend i would ask my mom about allergies because she has a lot, too...or something like that. my sister probably told my mom exactly what the down item is!!

Right now I'm wondering whether Tabby managed to out-decorate the neighbors for the holidays, and I want to say that neither Tabby nor her neighbors can beat our neighbors for outward displays of Christmas cheer - for pete's sake, they must have a million candle-power display of marionnettes, nutcrackers, reindeer and pine trees. It is blinding and just might be the source of the next great midwestern blackout on the power grid. We can feel our neurons getting tweaked every time we drive by it, but can't even focus on that because whomever is driving shotgun is charged with shielding their eyes when we go by so they can direct the newly blinded driver around the lake until he/she regains control of their ocular nerves.

Right now I'd like to tell Juju - ssssttttrrrreeeetttttcccccchhhhhhhh!!!!. Oh Ya!!!

Hehe, 25,000 twinkling lights. That is my favorite Christmas movie.

Right now I should get started on cleaning so I can get started on the hundred other things I have to do today.

right now, tabby did not get way into the spirit...shoulda gotten into the spirits! our tree went up...a string of lights went on...and maybe 5 ornaments. no one wanted to deal with unpacking and repacking them all! plus, we put the tree up in our living room and we close off the living/dining room from the rest of the house with french doors. we don't want to have to heat or air condition so much extra space if we don't have to. so that room is cold as siberia! poor little half-naked tree in the cold room!
well, as my dear old dad always used to say, "we are off like a dirty shirt"!
it's foggy, so we'll take our time.
