1. I agree, Rg about TVCH always brightening my day. No matter how I'm feeling I can always come here for good conversation and more than a few laughs. 2. I so need to clean my fridge today and I so don't want to do it, lol. I'm going to get to it in a few minutes though. 3. Sis is sick as a dog still. Her cold is kicking her butt and now she's got an earrache. She was complaining that she can't sleep cuz everytime she lays down bil or one of the girls comes in and wakes her up. 4. Since bils going out to help our uncle move furniture today, I told her I'd watch the girls only if she goes to urgent care for her ears (she's stubborn and would put it off til the last minute possible otherwise.) Bil will be dropping the girls off in a while and little adopted sis is on her way to drive sis to the doctor. 5. We will have all of our Christmas shopping done this weekend.

1. Spent some time working on jewelry earlier while the kids were busy with their cousins. 2. Bil picked up the nieces about 8:30. They were so ready to go to bed. 3. I was complaining about my flush cutters (pair of wire cutters that are kinda slanted) being dull. Darren took them apart and headed to the garage to sharpen them. 4. I was getting the kids in bed thinking he sure was taking a long time so I went to check on him. hehehe. 5. My poor husband stood in the middle of the garage, 12 ft pvc pipe in one hand my flush cutters in the other poking towards something under the cabinet out there. 6. I asked what he was doing and he said we had a huge rat. I told him we don't have rats, mice maybe, but no rats. He said it isn't a mouse, wait til you see the size of this thing, it's a rat! All of a sudden I see something shoot out from under the cabinet and run across the garage and he lets out this scream. Now me standing in the doorway, I saw what it was and started laughing. 7. It's a squirrel! We have a vent in the back corner of the garage and every few years the wire mesh covering it falls off and we have to go put it back on. I'm guessing it's fallen off again for this guy to get in there. I think he's the same one who hans out in the backyard and steals Harvey's food anytime we set it outside. 8. Skootz, I'll also be doing a bunch of wrapping while the kids are in school. I have two weeks before they're out for winter vacation to get it all done. Problems going to be where to put everything once it's wrapped because it's way too soon to put it under the tree.

8.234298123. It's not the kids I have to worry about, lol. Our tree sits in front of the window which is next to the front door. Anytime someone walks up thats where the dogs runs to bark. We've been hanging ornaments up all week that he's knocked off the tree. I can just imagine what he'd do to a bunch of presents!

8.50987654321 I usually put all the presents in black garbage bags and then store them in the closet or in the basement. Some are in rubbermaid containers too.

8.69804956345123 You could always store the wrapped gifts in the back of the kids closets, you know they'll never think to look in their own closets. LOL

1. It's Sunday so I get to watch football 2. It's Sunday so I need to pay bills 3. It snowed yesterday so I have to shovel the white crap. 4. The inventory on my website needs to be updated. http://bringenwillgifts.com 5. I have a leaking water pipe I need to try to fix today. 6. I want to thank everyone who purchased off of my website in November. 7. The children at Gilette Childrens Hospital also want to thank everyone who purchased from my website, all profits I made went to them. 8. I met my new neighbors yesterday, they seem like a$$holes. 9. I need to quit playing on the computer and go out and shovel snow. ish ish ish

1. I'm really glad that I live far enough south that I don't have to shovel snow (well, not much anyway!) 2. I have hives again. I have not eaten any allergens. The cat was inside for a while last night. I think that I will call my Dr. to go to an allergist this week. 3. I still think that it is stress. One of our new hires is a real bitchy-blame-everyone-for-everything person. I'm tired of it, and I feel like I'm taking schrapnel whenever I'm near this person. 4. I made turkey carcass soup last night. It is really good. 5. It is one of those cold, cloudy days today. If I were further north I would think that it was snow coming. 6. I have two really pretty holly bushes by my front door. The berries are very vivid. 7. I should be editing a couple of papers right now. 8. Time to become the grading machine! 9. I had very little heat in my office the past few days. The knob on the radiator is painted shut. The airconditioner is leaking like crazy, too! 10. I can't believe that I had to write 10! I am hoping that there is another early bird who is up and posting, and beat me to 10, cause mine are really lame this morning.

1. I have to go to a baby shower soon and I really just don't want to go. It snowed here last night so the roads are pretty yucky - I'd rather just stay at home. I should really be in the shower right now... 1.5 I posted a link to some of my pro wedding pics in my bio if anyone would like to see!

1. War -LOL on the squirrel! What was the one thing that Caleb wants? 2. The other day my dh was on the phnoe with an employee. He asked her if she had cleaned out the water fountains that we sell. She said that she had. He then asked her how come he found a spiderman in one. HEHE! Sometimes he comes up with funny expressions for the English language of his interpretation. When we met, he could not speak English at all. Now he hardly stops talking! 3. We cooked yesterday for a person visiting from Pakistan. I said let's not go overboard, but we ended up cooking for 5 hours. Then no one ate that much. DH says we are cooking for the whole week for us, too. I washed so many dishes! Refrigerator is full! 4. I envy anyone that has their Christmas shopping done!

1. So my mom, my two sisters and I go to my cousin's baby shower that I mentioned in my earlier post and found out some interesting news... 2. My cousin would not be attending because she had the baby very early this morning! 3. She was due on the 21st but her water broke around 4am today and she ended up having to have a c-section because the baby was trying to come out butt first. 4. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 1 oz. and is 21 inches long...everyone is doing fine. 5. Welcome to the world Victoria Elizabeth!!!

1. Yay new baby! Congrats to your family, Froggie! 2. I'm kinda freaking out. I've got two weeks til the kids are out of school. I'm so happy that all the shopping is done then I think of everything else that has to be done before they're out of school. 3. I've got to clean Caleb's room and do his carpet (never did get to it last week.) I've got to wrap all the presents and get the Christmas cards filled out and mailed this week. 4. I have several pieces of jewelry I need to finish up, though if I have to I can wait til the kids are out of school and give them some projects to work on at the same time. 5. I have to finish the scrapbook I'm doing as a family gift (yearly gift.) Since it's a gift I can't do it while the kids are home. Even though they know it'll be under the tree they don't know what will be in it or the theme and I'd like to keep it a secret. The theme for this year is mainly vacation/fun and I plan on finishing it up with a few how we've grown pages. I've been going through some pictures tonight and I just can't believe how little my kids were, lol! 6. Finally I have to decide what to do about stockings. We decided when we pulled out the Christmas decorations that we were long overdue for new ones. I saw some plain red ones at Michaels just after Thanksgiving and I should have picked them up. My thought is to get plain red ones and everyone will get to do thier own thing to them. Paint, add decorations, whatever. Unfortunately when I went back to Michaels they didn't have anymore and now I haven't been able to find them anywhere else.

1. A picture of the new baby is in my folder! 2. I still can't believe my cousin is a mommy! I think the baby looks just like her. 3. They're calling for snow tonight into tomorrow. I was hoping it would start early evening so I could leave work early but I don't think that's going to happen. 4. I only have my little sister to buy for and then I'm done with Christmas shopping...I should really start wrapping them all soon. 5. Steve's family has decided to do "Christmas" on Christmas Eve so we'll be going down there for his dad's service and then out to dinner before going home to open presents. 6. The restaurant we're going to is my favorite in their area, so I'm REALLY looking forward to Christmas Eve dinner! 7. I just remembered that I still need to buy a few things for Steve's stocking. He is so hard to buy for! Happy Monday everyone!

1. I finished all my "kids" Christmas shopping this weekend. 2. My new sofas came in and are absolutely beautiful, but now I think I need new tables and an area rug. 3. I just finished my last chapter of the book for school and did my write up on it. Now all I need to do is my final exam and I am done and I will have obtained my minor in business. 4. The final chapter question was to describe our dream job. Folks, I have always wanted to be a teacher, but never pursued it because the thought of that much more schooling turned me off to it, and I was laughed at when I told my family that I wanted to do it. Also, when I spoke to a college counselor about it he told me my best bet was to quit my job and focus mainly on school, complete my general ed, and go from there. I just wanted to know what classes I needed, exactly to get to be a teacher.....he was no help. 5. I love the idea of being with kids. The thought of lunch lines, and holiday programs, spelling tests, story telling, art projects, rainy day schedules, recesss, giving homework, grading math tests, (you get the picture) 6. Enough about that, I got my tree up this weekend too, it's all blue and silver and it's beautiful. 7. I do my tree differently every year. I did it one year in red white and blue, last year it was green and purple, this year is blue and silver and next year will be burgundy and gold. 8. I have to go to the doctor's today. I am not looking forward to that, as I know after the Thanksgiving holiday I have really packed on the weight. Yick.

1. Congratulations on Froggiegirl's new cousin! 2. Lousy day at work today. I was there for 11 hours and had 4 people come in and only 1 sale. December is a horrible month. The management tells us that we do not have Christmas here in December, but we have 3 months of Christmas in the Summer. (So true!) But what a long day! 3. I have 3 pages to go and I will have finished my scrapbook to my parents from our recent trip to their house and my brother's wedding. We filled up my digital card taking pictures and I still feel we did not take enough pictures. 4. DH and I are watching season one of Las Vegas and we love it! He keeps saying we never see anything in Vegas when we are there - just work! 5. DD and I are going to Vegas in Jan to the CHA Show. We have signed up for 7 classes - one is a competition crop, which should be interesting. Plus I need to make appointments with our reps. And the fun part - go to all the company parties and receive lots of freebies. 6. Sounds like a lot of people are getting their Christmas shopping done! 7. I have a few more items to buy and I will be done. 8. I told my dh that I want a new cell phone. I have had mine forever and it will not keep a charge. I know that it probably needs a new battery, but it is so big and old fashion compared to all the new little ones. 9. I hope everyone is having a great evening!

1. marm, i have a friend who continually has hives. she has to take zyrtec everyday to control them. it is very hard to pinpoint a trigger for hives. that is the only thing that works for her....she gets them on her face. 2. ok, so keith urban's concert on friday night in st louis was amazing. it is the best one we've been to so far, and with this new thing he's doing, called a "small stage", we got like within 2 feet from the man. he went directly over our heads (we were in the dead center) and if we'd been standing on our chairs, we could have touched his feet. again 3. he also played for 2+ straight hours. that is pretty long for anyone to play. usually 1 and half at the MOST! 4. along with all of his big hits and a few unreleased treasures from his cds, he also did some other fun covers...free fallin', joker, jolene (yes, the dolly parton song!) , and 2 of his bandmates did aerosmith's "what it takes", and he was playing the drum....i'm telling you there is nothing that he can't do! 5. i told my friend that i was going to scratch the girl's eyes out that got called onstage. LOL. it was of course a sarcastic remark, and we got a big laugh out of it. 6. we are already talking about going to see him in tulsa in february. his shows just get better every time. my friend says she's determined to get front row...lol, we'll see! 7. we also went to see the blues hockey game on thursday night...and they WON! it was a blast! they aren't doing so well this year and had lost 7 consecutive games before that...and are the lowest ranked in the NHL. nice. 8. they actually got a little bit of snow in northeast MO where we went over the weekend. not a lot, but some. 9. my mom and my sister got to take turns with watching my dog while i was gone. i went to get her when i got in around 1:30 pm yesterday and she was conked out! i could tell she was happy to have "her" own bed back. (obviously, it's HER bed, not mine, she just lets me sleep in it with her. LOL) 10. that being said, i think it's time for us to get our butts in her bed. i'm worn out myself!

1: I had a good day too. (Its been a rollercoaster of a week, so I'm glad to report things are getting back on the upswing!) 2: Was busy both at home and outside running a chunk of errands. 2A: (I've been so lazy lately, that sense of satisfaction that comes with accomplishment, was missing. I'm really feeling pretty darn good right about now, with energy to spare.)
