1. Christmas shopping is 98% done.

2. Gotta get my mom a sweatshirt from the university bookstore and the DVD "Blue Collar Comedy Club" for my dad.

3. This is the last week of class - gotta get the final exam done today.

4. The number transfer from my AT&T phone to my Verizon phone has still not gone through. My AT&T phone still rings all incoming calls, though I can make and receive calls from either phone. Weird.

5. If it isn't fixed by tomorrow, I'm gonna get concerned b/c my AT&T contract is up tomorrow and I am NOT paying for a day longer than I have to with that crappy company.

5. I still love the snow, but it is starting to melt. I can see big parts of my yard again.

6. I watch Family Feud every day.

7. I'm excited for Sage and hope she posts details soon.

8. I cooked for my supervisees last night and gave them little gifts. They got me a cute picture frame and little stuffed Santa.

9. I watched Maternity Ward again last night.

10. I'm convinced that watching MW could prevent most teenage pregnancies. It sure scares me enough.

1. Ok, I'll post some details!

2. I'm just crazy about this guy and he is crazy about me too. His name is Dennis. We've only seen each other once for a couple of hours, but have spent many other hours on the phone. He is very busy right now, because he is a school teacher and he also coaches basketball which takes up his whole day. I get to see him again on Wednesday. On Thursday, he has to have surgery on his knee and will be laid up for a while. I hope to be able see more of him during his recovery. I offered to be his nurse maid. ;) The chemistry between us is out of this world! He wants to teach me to dance, and take me out, he wants to take me 4-wheeling with him, he wants to take me fly fishing, camping and hiking. Whew! He wants me in his hot tub - Ack!

(A long number 2, but you wanted details! LOL!)

2. My Christmas shopping is 95% done.
3. This is my 2nd time posting in this thread because I have a hard time trying to think of something interesting to post. I try too hard.

1. DH brought me this (not so good) sandwich for brunch about 11:30 today.

2. It was a philly cheese steak minus the green peppers (which I hate).

3. Now I'm getting hungry again, but there's nothing good to snack on.

4. I wonder if I could get DStepS to dish me a bowl of ice cream? That's a good before dinner snack, right, lol.

1. I am off work for the next five days...WHOO HOO!!!

2. Sad thing is they are calling for "at least" four inches of snow tomorrow into Thursday.

3. Thursday was supposed to be my "busy day" - work Christmas party, haircut, baking cookies, last minute Christmas shopping - now it may all be cancelled or postponed.

4. I'm really hoping it won't be as bad as they are saying and I will at least be able to get my haircut...I need one badly!

5. Tomorrow I am getting presents wrapped and under the tree (in between lazing about and lurking at TVCH, of course).

6. Today I bought some live wreaths and swags to decorate the outside of my house with. No lights or anything spectacular, just something simple. Hey, at least I decorated!

3. I didn't work today, but went to our office pizza party.

7. Our boss baked us a yummy banana split cake. Who knew he could cook?

1. i am having spaghettios for supper....do i know how to live, or what?

2. i got some more christmas shopping done tonight. yay!

3. today at work the guys in sales dressed up like women (flamboyant women at that) and paraded around the shop. this was too funny for words.

4. they did this because we reached our goal on united way pledges a few months ago and that was part of their agreement. lol.

5. i won 3 jeweled nose rings (pink, red and light blue) on ebay for $1.04. unbelievable, i hardly ever get that lucky.

6. the gages (post size) are larger than the ones i usually keep in there, and it was quite painful getting one of them in...in fact it was worse than actually getting it pierced.

7. i bought myself a new bottle of perfume tonight, also. pure, by alfred sung. i love the stuff and won't buy it for myself. (got some early birthday money in the mail today.)

8. i am so happy that a new OC is on tonight. i am tired of reruns on my usual teen angst dramas. lol.

9. i am so glad that we don't have snow (for the moment...lol)
happy holidays everyone!

1. Today, I bought myself a few christmas presents.

2. One is a heartshaped necklace with tiny dried flowers set in glass with sterling silver wrapped around it. The other is a new pair of jeans, and also some eye shadow. Yay for me!

3. I also bought a very soft stuffed bear to give to Dennis for a get well soon gift.

4. He is having surgery on his knee tomorrow.

5. Today, on the phone, Dennis told me he wants to spend the rest of his life with me.

6. What is it about these guys who meet me and want to make instant commitments right away? This is the 3rd guy this year wanting this!

7. Of course, I feel the same way Dennis feels, but man, I'm a bit nervous because I need to know more about this guy.

8. Also on the phone today, Dennis told me a very funny story. Seems I am too much on his mind.

9. His dog has seizures, and has to be given some pills every day. Dennis wraps the pills up in bologna so the dog will eat it. Well, yesterday when he grabbed the pills for the dog, instead of wrapping them in bologna, he grabbed a glass of water and swallowed them himself before he realized what he was doing. He said he was thinking of me at the time! LOL!

10. I was worried that the pills would make him sick, but since he is a science teacher, he knew that the contents of the pills wouldn't bother him, and they didn't.

1. Congrats Eggie!! Hey, but didn't you remind us somewhere on this board to knock you out if you signed up for another class, or something like that..? Maybe I made that up, I don't know.. lol

2. Actually that's really great Eggie, and I'm proud of your accomplishment!

3. Dear Sweet Sage... I'm happy for you. Just be careful with your heart.. Remember to breathe extra deep when it feels like you're losing your self with him. Good things come to those who wait, right? Getting to know him is a good thing. You have lots of time.

1. Slaps Eggie to remind her that she said to slap her if she ever signed up for another class.

2. About a month ago, I helped the Saints Football Team Office with some information they needed. They called me yesterday to tell me they have made arrangements for my son and I to sit on the field for the Cowboys/Saints game on Dec 28th! How cool is that?

3. Got son a cell phone for Christmas. Going to wrap up one of those old big black handbag cell phones as a joke for Xmas morning. LOL

4. That's the only present I've purchased so far. I have a pretty good idea what I need to purchase for everybody else and it won't take long to finish up my shopping.

1. We finished all our Christmas shopping yesterday. Yay!
2. My mother-in-law came over and watched the kids, amazaing how much shopping you can get done without kids.
3. I do have to return a few things today because I bought too much for my two nieces.
4. My son has a little Holiday party at school tonight. They are going to sing some songs that I know he knows because he sings them all day long, but at practice the other day he wouldn't open his mouth and sing.
5. I went to my neices Christmas program at their church last night and it was adorable. One of my nieces had a solo and everyone gasped when she started singing because she was so cute. She is seven. It brought tears to my eyes.
6. We are taking the kids to see Santa tomorrow.

4. I shopped yesterday to finish up my shopping and I wanted to buy things for myself?
5. Is buying for yourself at holiday time a bad thing?
6. Ms. Eggie, I also heard you say to slap you if you took another class but I just can't slap you.
