1. I am a slug today. I should be packing to go to my parents, but I have to assemble music for WAY too many hymns for Christmas Eve and Christmas to take with me. I don't want to go back to my office and get all this assembled. Maybe it will go away (NOT!) 2. I just want to roll over and sleep. 3. Yesterday I copied out envelopes and Christmas letters. I haven't done that in years. 4. I think the reason for my inactivity is that I am supposed to be at my parents tonight and I don't want to go. I am staying for most of next week to babysit my niece and nephew while they aren't in school. <Marm just erased a huge "Bah Humbug" rant that had mostly to do with the abuse of her talents as a church musician during this season, and her mother not understanding that seven days of not being scholarly productive is suicide for those running on the tenure track.> 5. Ho Ho Ho! Trying to get in a better mood here!

1. i am watching the cosby show on TBS. it is one of my all time favorite shows. my favorite episode was when they made theo live in the "real world". 2. work is so boring...i've been here for 2 1/2 hours and have only had 1 customer. it is too cold for tanners. 3. i will close today and be closed until tuesday. i plan on hitting some clearance sales monday. 4. i had a dream about one of my old salesmen last night. not to go into details but i did wake up in a good mood today. 5. i am enjoying all the Christmas songs this year. my country station that i listen to started out slowly with the Christmas music...just throwing one in every now and then. as it has gotten closer they are throwing more in the mix. it has been just the right blend for me. 6. i got beat to #5 so i am just putting this here to keep the numbers straight. HO HO HO

1. Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I'm so excited! 2. My friends been selling my jewelry for a while, one bracelet here, a book thong there. It's been nice, but nothing really "flying off the racks." 3. About half an hour ago she called to tell me she'd sold three bracelets this morning alone and had a special request for a fourth one. And she just called to see if I could make two more bracelets in a different color! 4. I've also got a friend who requested a special bracelet that she'll be picking up tonight and someone else who's waiting to get two book thongs. I'm so freaking excited I'm about to wet my pants! 5. It's been nice selling even one item a day but this is the first time I've sold this much at one time. I figure people are probably picking up last minute Christmas gifts, but still its awfully nice. 6. I have to hit the store! ACK! But I need some more supplies or I won't be able to do the special requests bracelets. 7. Also just found out that our friend playing Santa this year (different Santa this year so the kids can see Martin sitting there, lol) can't do the Christmas Eve thing so I have to get ready to do it a day earlier. Thats kinda nice though, we'll leave us more time on Christmas Eve night.

1. YAY Wargod! I'm so pleased for you and I agree, just looking at the pictures of your work we can tell they are beautiful. 2. This must be a wargod thread today, I too will be wargoding my house once more before all the festivities. 3. My daughter survived the NYC transit strike and hopes to finish up her shopping and be home tonight. 4. Quick ditty about the strike, she was stranded at a train station, the banks had closed early due to the strike, she couldn't cash her check and had no money to return home. She sat crying and worrying where she would sleep. I'm all for unions supporting their workers but somehow public safety has to enter into the equation. 5. I have the food as ready as possible, the gifts bought and wrapped. 6. My husband hasn't even started his shopping yet, that amazes me and has every year. 7. A big thank you to congress for giving the armed services a pay raise. I think they all deserve it. Another thank you for the decrease in troop deployments for next year, to who ever. 8. Congrat's to Saxy and her new hubby on being first time home owners. 9. I'll be very PC and say Happy Holidays to everyone celebrating and Have a Great Day to everyone who isn't.

1. i am not feeling so hot today. lol...i have a mild hangover...that is suprisingly not worse than it is...considering what i drank last night, and all. lol. 2. i got together with a couple of friends from elementary and jr. high school last night. one of them lives in seattle and was in for the holidays. it was great to see both of them. 3. i am off work until tuesday for the christmas holiday. this tickles me pink! 4. yesterday was my birthday (thanks to all who wished me a happy birthday in my folder), and it was a pretty decent one. my mom called my name into a local radio station, and each day they have a drawing for the birthdays and anniversaries. well, i'll be damned if i didn't win the drawing! in all the years she's been calling it in this is the first time i won! i won 4 free movie rentals and a $20 gift certificate to a restaurant called ziggies. not too shabby, imho. 5. maybe this means my luck will be changing this year. now if i could just get some keith urban backstage passes. LOL...RIGHT! 6. my mom got me season 3 gilmore girls and a snowbaby (i kind of collect them) for my birthday. my favorite gilmore girls episode ever is from season 3...it's the dance marathon episode, and i've already watched it twice. 7. my co-worker made me a batch of her to-die-for peanut butter fudge. the stuff is SO GOOD. it's the best i've ever had...yum! 8. this morning to help the hangover, i got up and made bacon, an egg and some hash browns. i do feel better, but now i'm full. 9. i still don't have everything done for christmas, and i need to get on that. lol! 10. me and my furkids would like to wish all factoiders a merry christmas!

.5 Thanks SS and Lori, it's pretty exciting! 1. I need to get off my butt. Santa's (the one who visits with the kids) is coming today instead of tomorrow and I need to get a gift wrapped in special paper and snuck out of the house to give him before we see him later.

1. We saw Santa today. Our friends dad was a perfect Santa and said he had a blast, hasn't done that since his kids were little. The kids absolutely loved him! 2. Ok, most the kids, lol. My 2 year old niece was being a little bad ass. She punched Caleb and pinched and hit another kid who was there. And then Santa walked in the door. She took one look at him and a look of pure terror crossed her face. She threw down the toy she was playing with and literally flung herself across the room at me and refused to move out of my lap. When it was her turn to get her present, she was more than willing to do without if it meant she didn't have to get near Santa. None of us were actually mean enough to force her to go to him so her present was passed over to her and she didn't have to get anywhere near him.

1. War - My DS 3 is absolutely terrified of Santa as well. I asked him what he thought was so scary about him and his reply was "His whole body." LOL. 2. All packages are wrapped. DH is home now for 4 days in a row before hopping on another train. I have dessert prepared for my in-laws gathering tomorrow. Only 2 more sleeps. I am all set and can't wait! I love spending time with family at Christmas. 3.   MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL TVCH MEMBERS (and lurkers too!)

1. I did a mini Wargod yesterday. From the outside things look good...just don't look under the bed, in closets or drawers.LOL 2. Casey got here last night, we ate dinner (she scarfed down homemade Beef Stroganof) and watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It was entertaining, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have if Brad and Angelina weren't such losers now! 3. I'm making lots of hourdevours today rather then a big Christmas dinner. My family likes to graze rather then stuff themselves all at once. Works for me! 4. I'm really excited for everyone to open their presents from me this year. I think I done good! 5.MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!

1. Kady that is terrific news! 2. Today was fun. We tracked Santa through the NORAD site and read from our Christmas book about how different countries celebrate Christmas. Kids had a blast and didn't really realize they were learning something, lol. 3. We also made and decorated sugar cookies. 4. Both of the kids cleaned up their bedrooms. They did a wonderful job! 5. Then we went to look at Christmas lights. There's one neighborhood here where they all go out of their way to decorate. Every house is done, they string lights across the street, decorate street lamps and signs, and set out those lumiere? bags (the bags you put candles in. Those line both sides of the street and up and down walkways and driveways. They also play Christmas music and have Santa at the end of the street. At the other end they set out big bins where they collect donations for one of the local charities. When we got there the line to get in the neighborhood started a mile away and we waited for probably an hour. There were literally hundreds of people up and down the street and driving and most of them brought something to drop in the bins. The kids thought it was the best thing in the world for Darren to stop the car in the middle of the street so they could hop out and drop off our donations. I did get pictures of some of the houses, I'll have to see if theres anything worth posting (most of them were really blurry.) 6. We visited with a friend of mine for awhile (another Christmas Eve tradition.) 7. Then came home to have dinner and let the kids open one present (robes, which both of them loved.) Then we read Twas the night before Christmas and put them in bed. No joke, both were asleep by 8:30! We dragged all the Santa gifts and stocking stuffers out and put them in the den. Darren's already in bed, so before I go I'll put all that out, take care of the cookies and reindeer food and then get in bed. 8. We're supposed to meet up at my sisters tomorrow before going to the big family get together. Mom wants to do that at 8am, lol. Do ya know how mad my kidlets would be having to rush through opening their presents and then leaving them all here so we can get up and go running at 8am??? Sis was laughing. She said her fil called and told them this year he wants to see the grandkids open presents so he plans to show up at one brothers house at 5 am, the next at 6 and the last at 7. In our family there's a rule (this would be my houses, sis's, and both adopted bro's) that the kids aren't allowed out of bed til 6:30 and if they're not awake we don't wake them up, lol. Mom knows this, since she was the one to start it when we were kids. Both her and step dad worked the night shift and they couldn't have drug themselves out of bed before 6:30am for an emergency, much less Christmas, lol! Merry Christmas TVCH!

1. In our neck of the woods, its officially CHRISTMAS DAY! 2. It's 1:45 a.m. 3. So MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! 4. Our Christmas party went well. 5. But my dh was quieter than usual (and he's really a quiet sort, unless he's reeeealy happy or reeealy pissed.) He's still in quite a bit of pain from last months surgery. But I do think the party cheered him up a bit. 6. The most worrisome part, is that while mom had a head-cold (coughing and hoarseness)since Tuesday, she's now got a fever of 100.7 (Not sure if that's C or F but I think normal is like 98.6 or something like that.) 7. She's 90, barely eats at the best of times and she's really hardly eating at all these days. Just bunches of mini-meals. But a bite of this or that, just doesn't reasure me at all. 8. I hate that I might have to take her to a clinic when the best doctors are probably on holiday and the ones who probably got their diploma from a website in Mexico are the ones in charge right now. URGH!

1. When I tucked the kids in bed awhile ago, Caleb told me this was the best Christmas ever. I asked him what was the best part and he told me the big family get together. He got to touch his pregnant aunties belly and she really does look pregnant now, he got to play with all his cousins, and tell an uncle how he was put into the higher reading group at school. He said the best part was spending time with the family, all at once. 2. He had a great point too. The big family get together consisted of my family, my bils family, little "adopted" sis' father and two half siblings, her hubby's family, and one of the other "adopted" brothers in laws. It was great to see everyone at once. 3. We got out to my sisters a little earlier than we expected. Turned out to be a good thing, lol. Our uncle was struggling to put together a bike he'd bought for one of the nephews. Just as we walked up he said he should have paid the $20 to have them put it together at the store. Luckily it was just like the bike Darren had put together Friday for Kota, so he helped out. Ok, he did it all while Uncle watched, lol! 4. My oldest niece was so excited she made herself sick. She spent most of the day either in my lap or my sisters. Poor kid felt absolutely lousy. 5. Little adopted sis outdid herself planning the big family get together. She really did a great job. 6. She's also totally cute. She's starting to show and she looks great. 7. We also had a great evening. When we got home Darren and Caleb set down on the floor putting together legos. 8. Me and Kota put together a couple of puzzles and played with some fairytopia dolls. When we finally put them in bed, they were so exhausted they went right to sleep. 9. I hope everyone had a great holiday, however they spent it. For us, it really was a great day.
