Mak1 | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 01:33 pm     7.5 Lol Texannie. What are you doing? |
Reader234 | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 01:46 pm     {per Granny's request}(so should I mark it >>> 8. My dh's family decided to draw names, my sil took out a typewriter to write rules (mil works on computer all day at work, wont have one at home thank you very much!! lol) the rules were hysterical. I think we wrote them during cocktail hour... one rule was you had to be married before we included SO in the draw, one rule was cost... did I tell you I was very clever in breaking the rules? One year they wanted hand made thought out gifts. We were supposed to continue to fill stockings, so that was one way to buy small thoughtful gifts for everyone... well mil became good at breaking that rule (she wrapped pictures of gifts, like crockpots, dishes etc.) IT became even more funny to see who was going to break the rules, and how they would break the rules!! Dh and I are the only one with kids, and my son at 15 wanted to be in the draw instead of a "kid" because it was "more fun". (I didnt care for that since it meant I was now shopping for THREE gifts at $25 - $50) It ended the year I refused to take the insults from his sisters (no one wanted my name, they would trade me... and if they got me, the gifts they gave me were pathetic, they started to forget the reason for the gifts, the joy, the laughter, the love. SO now, pretty much, there is no Christmas. I somehow feel responsible. If dh would just call his mom, or his sisters I wouldnt mind getting involved again... but I feel weird now... So I dont know if this was a help or not!! WE couldnt draw a name of a spouse, I'm trying to think of some of the other 'rules'....) Good Luck!! CHange is always hard!! |
Texannie | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 01:53 pm     8.5 Breaking the rules, Mak! LOL |
Texannie | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 02:35 pm     1. Ok...Mak made me feel guilty. ;) 2. Ugh, my dh's suburban '96 started making awful noises yesterday. 3. Got it towed to our repair guy. 4. The engine is dead. 5. It's going to be about $4,000 to get a new one. 6. Great timing!!! 7. My daughter is supposed to be doing her homework. 8. But is taking much longer to walk the dogs than usual cause it's such a pretty day. 9. I can't get rid of this headache that I have had all day sheesh...such a whiney post! |
Yankee_In_Ca | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 04:21 pm     1. I got tickets to Henry IV in NYC today. Yippee! 2. I'll be in NY for a week or so around Christmas, and am looking for a recommendation for a special birthday dinner on Christmas Eve -- so anyone from NY with suggestions, let me know! 3. It was cold and overcast in Vancouver today, and the forecast is for 5 days of pouring rain. Yuck. 4. I am almost finished my Christmas shopping. 5. I mailed 98% of my holiday cards today. 6. I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's dogs in the Dogs thread. 7. I wonder how the guys will react to Melena in a fat suit on Average Joe tonight. 8. I wish I could go to one of the TVCH get-togethers, though my travel schedule never seems to coincide with any of them. 9. Essence, I too am having problems with a gift for a 10-year-old. I think it's that age where they're too old for many toys, and too young for other stuff. 10. I really should be going to the gym, but instead I'm drinking a latte. Ha! |
Texannie | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 04:27 pm     1. Yankee, girl or boy? I have a 10 year old girl. |
Yankee_In_Ca | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 06:31 pm     1. Texannie, it's for a boy. Not my boy, but a special boy nonetheless! 2. I'm cold and I can't get my thermostat to go over 72 degrees Fahrenheit. So my house is not freezing, but not toasty either. |
Mak1 | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 07:16 pm     1. When I hear the strong winds outside, I feel cold even though the house is warm. 2. My nearest and dearest want money or gift certificates for Christmas. How boring. I'll wrap them in pretty boxes, heehee. 3. Poor Texannie and dh about the holiday car problems. 3.5 LOL Texannie, you're a rebel, aren't you? |
Reader234 | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 07:44 pm     1. Boy - LEGOS, or balls. Both seem to work!! 2. 72, 72???!!! 72 is hot when you hit that hormonal stage. Kids here live in blankets and sleeping bags, me, I have shortsleeves on, 72 is HOT!! 3. Is it payday yet? Why is it everyone wants so much money the week before payday, and in the month of Christmas??? 4. I went to Curves today, and didnt get dizzy!! 4.5 I have tomorrow off!! |
Froggiegirl621 | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 08:19 pm     1. I have tomorrow off too...THANK GOD! 2. My mom came over tonight and helped me decorate the tree, it looks so pretty. 3. I will tackle the other decorations tomorrow, and hopefully the outside over the weekend (weather permitting). 4. We had our first real snow of the season...ok, it was just a dusting, but it was snow none-the-less. 5. I'm trying to convince my family to have Christmas dinner here at my new house. I think it would be nice to be the hostess for a change...we all decided on lasagna instead of the typical turkey dinner, and it's something I'm not afraid to attempt on my own!!! |
Sage | Monday, December 01, 2003 - 09:39 pm     1. I woke up with a sore throat and congestion. Been coughing and sneezing all day... sniff 2. I see the doc tomorrow about trying a different med for the depression. 3. Mr. Sweet... heck, I'm not liking that name for him... Larry is his name. Anyway, he invited me to go visit his sister with him this weekend. She lives on the west side of the state and we'll have to drive over the mountains to get there. 4. I think I'm going to go. It could be fun. He's very easy to talk to and a good friend. 5. Even though he hasn't come out and said it, I know he wishes we could be more than friends. 6. Who knows... it could happen. But then again, maybe it couldn't. |
Wargod | Tuesday, December 02, 2003 - 12:49 am     1. My neices came over to visit today. Brit spent the time playing with Kota while the baby slept. 2. Caleb helped take care of her while she was here. I think he's trying to show me what a big help he'd be if I did him a favor and had another baby, lol. 3. Big help or not, it's not going to happen. 4. We didn't get our outside lights up today. It was MOW's last day of vacation, and we spent the day being lazy. Even the kids took naps today. 5. Mow goes back to work til the 24th, then he's off til the 5th. He'll be working some serious overtime for the next few weeks while they prepare for the plant being closed for a week and a half. 6. I need to come up with some Christmas crafts or activities for the kids. They're starting to get bored already being home from school. 7. I also need to get them dressed up and go visit my elderly people. They enjoy seeing the kids, especially around the holidays. |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 12:37 am     1. Today or I should say yesterday (the 2nd) was DH's turn to turn 40. Like we did on my b-day, we had our usual couple of spats during the day.. 2. HOWEVER, (lol) he also finished a 2+ year project today!! Woo-hoo.. 3. Let me rephrase that. A project that took ½ of a day to do, but 2+ years to complete. LOL 4. We now have a sliding door that covers the entrance to the main bathroom. 5. The door had to be widened to the studs in order for my wheelchair to fit into the room. Since then, there has only been a sheet covering the entrance. 6. It's one of those things that should have been done, but we were putting it off because we thought it would be expensive, and we weren't sure how to do it. 7. This never really bugged me, because I only use it to take a shower, but everyone else using the room has been putting up with this forever. 8. He used parts from St. Vinny's, a closet track, and it only ended up costing about $35. Who knew? lol |
Kaili | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 05:31 am     1. I spent the day on Friday at that job I was thinking about taking (the one working with the emotionally disturbed kids) and I had a TON of fun. 2. Today the woman who runs the program is coming back from Prague so I'll find out if I get the job. 3. But better news! Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call to have an interview to be a Gifted and Talented Coordinator at a nearby middle school. 4. I think this is a great excuse for a good haircut and new clothes! What isn't? 5. On a different note, I think I'm getting a cold- I'm very sniffly. 6. I wish the WB wasn't playing all my shows in reruns this week. Boo to them! 7. I got new fish! I got 2 angelfish and yes, I did name them. One is a black and silver marble one and its name is Nigel. The other one is silver with vertical stripes and its name is Otis. I also got a new bottom sucker, which I named Chester. 8. My fish always get boy names because I tend to like boy names more than girl names. Well, that and I can't tell the difference except with my two platys because I know for a fact tehy're ale/female. 9. I named them Alex and Andy because those names are still be pretty ambiguous. I'm sure you all have heard enough about my little fishes by now and hey, it's number 9. I'm done.  |
Secretsmile | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 08:13 am     1. I'm trying to be quiet this morning. My youngest son is home from school with a bad sinus headache and I don't want to bother him. 2. I never realized how much noise doing my morning housework really makes. Cleaning is loud stuff. 3. I had plans to go buy new Christmas decorations today. I was appalled at how sad they get over the years. 4. I'm trying not to get fussed over a Christmas party I have to attend next week. My husband's new part time job is giving it and I only know one wife and to be honest, I don't like her. 5. I'm wondering if anyone else with near adult kids is disappointed with the type of gifts they request for Christmas. No more fun toys or piles of gifts. 6. I got my Christmas cards addressed and mailed last friday, but everyday this week we got cards from people I didn't have on my list so I have to keep writing more. 7. My son is bringing his gf home with him this weekend while he's at drill I have to entertain her and I'm not sure what to do with her. 8. I did an experiment the other night and found out I can not drink Merlot. It makes me say silly things in chat. 9. I'm thankful for the good people in chat that laugh with me instead of at me when I accidentally think I'm adult enough to drink wine. 10. I love all you wonderful people here at TVCH. |
Texannie | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 09:13 am     1. SBG is hitting me with reindeer and it hurts! |
Kaili | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 01:10 pm     1. I got the job. I got the job. 2. And she even offered to have me start in January without me saying anything. Which means....I get to go to mom's for Christmas. I get to go to mom's for Christmas. |
Mygetaway | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 01:11 pm     (ugghh... I just realized that my cards haven't came in the mail yet, so of course I haven't sent them...lol) |
Texannie | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 01:23 pm     2.5 HOORAY FOR KAILI!!!!!!!! |
Egbok | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 02:03 pm     1. Congratulations to Kaili on getting the job starting in January...you'll be a great G & T Coordinator!! 2. Secret, I'm feeling the love too....I love, love, love this place!!!  3. Speaking of love...I've gotten so many compliments on my new short haircut that...well...I'm starting to like it a little more. |
Froggiegirl621 | Wednesday, December 03, 2003 - 02:08 pm     1. Congrats to Kaili on the new job (and getting to spend Christmas with her family!). 2. I wrote out my Christmas cards today, made my return address labels, and sealed the envelopes in hopes of mailing them out tommorrow...I HAVE NO STAMPS! Go figure. 3. I am having the WORST cramps today! 4. Sorry if that's too much personal info, I just needed to tell someone that I was feeling pretty bad today. It's days like this I hate being a female... |
