1. This is my first "fact or two" post. 2. I am finally getting excited about Christmas this year. I am almost finished with my shopping & about half finished with wrapping. 3. I have one daughter,a granddaughter,age 5 & a grandson,almost 3yrs old. This year I have a new son-in-law & a new step granddaughter,also age 5. My daughter is pregnant so next year we will have a new grandson. 4. My grandchildren will be spending part of the Christmas holidays with their dad & his family. My daughter's divorce was final just after Christmas last year so this is the 1st year the kids will be away part of the holidays. I worry how the divorce & the going back & forth will affect them. 5. Last weekend my daughter,3 grandkids & I made Christmas cookies all day. We made sugar cutout cookies & decorated them & made gingerbread men. It was so much fun! 6. I hope everyone at TVCH has a wonderful holiday season!!!!!!!!!

7e. Babyruth, you should try the Pomegranite Tequila - my husband, his sister and brother-in-law destroyed themselves on that stuff one night in Cancun. They loved it. I was the only one who didn't go into vampire mode the next day and was bouncing around the Carribean surf (because I tequila-not). Ya, I got cussed, but they sure had fun!! 8.4 Welcome, Lateeda! We're heading down to Augusta tomorrow - hope the weather is beautiful down there.

7f. Thanks, GAL! I like tequila and will look for that! The host of the party last night made his martinis with with POM juice (2 cups), raspberry vodka (one cup), Grand Marnier (1/2 cup)and a splash of lemon juice. Shake and pour...yummm. Did you just return from Cancun? 8.5 Welcome, Lateeda!!

7g Yup we did, Babyruth, last week. It's beautiful, sunny and the beaches are gorgeous again. But every other resort looks like a bomb went off in it. We were lucky ours is one that was built with concrete and rebar, it survived just fine except since our suite is a penthouse it was pretty much gone with the wind. But all was repaired when we visited, and we're going back in March. Very much looking forward to it, the locals are working in overdrive to welcome tourists back to their city.

1. Starting to decorate the Christmas tree. 2. Have only bought 3 presents so far and a couple of stocking stuffers. 3. Yesterday I worked at home all day. 4. My boss is out of town Monday and Tuesday. I will probably be the only one in the office. 5. I gave my dog Cali a stuffed animal which she is promptly destroying (see my folder for pics). 6. We usually take the week off between Christmas and New Years and don't have to charge any time! Really looking forward to that. 7. Having steak for dinner. Sometimes you just feel like beef. 8. I cut off all my hair last week and I am still not used to it. 9. We are having gift exchange and Christmas dinner at my #1 brothers again this year. #2 is able to come from San Diego for the day. Woo Hoo!

7h. That's good to know, GAL! We usually go in Feb or March (usually south of Cancun). Sounds like we'll need to research the conditions a bit first. Would hate to have to settle for oh...say, Disney World... 9.1 Great folder pics, Dimmo! Love your dog's innocent expression...lol

7i. Disney on it's best day is worse than Cancun after a hurricane. Jus' sayin'. You heading to Playa del Carmen? We went to the new Hacienda Royal Resort for a visit down there - the beach is rocky and the resort is way too colorful for our taste, but as always the coastline and sea are beautiful and I hear Playa del Carmen is getting it back together after taking a hard hit from Wilma. The roads to and from are good, and it appears it's smooth sailing all the way to Tulum and back.

1. I'm verbose enough to do 10.... 2. LOVING the Survivor marathon tonight! WHOO HOO! 3. I am so lucky that my job isn't in a "cube". 4. Haven't done any Christmas shopping yet. Have to do it all tomorrow. 5. I'll do it after I turn in grades. 6. Which will be after I stay up all night marking....BLECH! 7. There were about 15 deer in my neighbor's yard as I pulled in my driveway tonight. 8. Today my arm is not numb, only part of my hand, so I think that I am getting better. 9. It is 63 degrees today! I can't believe it! 10. Mom just called. I heard the phone, but I couldn't find it. It was under the sofa cushion.

1. Well, I'm in Chicago. It is amazing how little traffic there is when you arrive at 5 am! I should start thinking about going to the conference, but with driving through the night, I'm a little pooped!

1. It's a very gloomy day today in my neck of the woods. How in the heck are you supposed to get motivated to be festive! I've got chores to do! I need all the help I can get! I think I'll put some peppy music on...Celtic music sounds about right. 2. I just put a pot of chilli on. That ought to hit the spot later and relieve me of some of the kitchen duty while I tend to the cleaning.

1. I have not been in this tread in such a long time. 2. I would like to wish everyone "HAPPY HOLIDAYS." 3. Vacanick I totally agree. This year did fly by. I was pregnant for the first half and now my baby is 6 months old. That means I have to return to work soon. In Ontario we receive a year maternity leave. 4. I have had a sore throat and cough for over a month. I wish it would just go away.

1. Be still my heart!! 2. A schtickler turns her head and BR, GAL and Mak (CRS my foot!) mess with the numbering system...geessshhhhhhh!! 3. Lateeda...la..tee...da...(I like that!) 4. Lateeda, listen to the schtickler. If you ever see numbering like provided by BR , GAL and Mak above, just follow your good la-tee-da sense and stick to the numbering order. 5. I love schtickling....

1. Haven't been here in a very long time! Love to read here, but just didn't have time to post. RL has been busy these past few months. 2. Great to see that Eggie is back!!!! 3. Went do my Xmas shopping last night! For the past 5 years or so, I always wait until the week before Christmas, I find I spend less money this way, lol. 4. I'll start traveling again on Jan. 2nd for work, won't end until middle of April. It's fun, but tiring. 5. Son is doing great! He's graduating in May and looking forward to college. Has a job at my bf's coffee shop so he's a busy bee this year. 6. Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

1. I haven't been coming around that much lately either. Well, I have, I just haven't been posting much. Or reading too many threads. Nevermind. I haven't spent a lot of time here. 2. I started and finished my shopping on Tuesday. I picked a couple things up when I felt motivated back in mid-November but I hadn't since then. 3. I still don't know what I want for Christmas. I don't need anything and I can't think of much for sale that I even want. I'm pretty content. 4. It feels like it's been a slow peak season at UPS this year. Yesterday was supposed to be the busiest day of the year and it went really smoothly. I don't know if it's the new system that's been being implemented (computer/dispatch stuff) throughout the country the past few years, or if business is down. Stocks have dropped a little though so maybe we're just slow? Our building processed about 57,000 pieces yesterday. We're the largest center (not hub) in the state. 5. We've has a really warm December- up to 60 degrees a few weeks ago and has been in the 40s. I thought maybe we have been slow at work because no one feels Christmas-y and they all forgot to shop. It's supposed to be rain/sleet tonight though. Blah. Yuck. I'd rather have snow than icy roads. Snow's a lot easier to drive in. 6. Monday I was subbing for 6th grade in Choir class and a kid opened his mouth and projectile vomited all over the room. Luckily he was on an end seat and only hit two girls' shoes. Poor thing. How embarassing at that age too. "It's" been going around- two schools were closed to be disinfected and 40 kids were out of this particular school that day. 7. Well, happy Thursday everyone.
