1. Annual Christmas Pig Roast was fun! I was a very good girl this year, only had 1 vodka on the rocks and got home by 12:30 AM.

2. I brought a corn dip that is to die for to the party. I need to post it in the recipe thread as it is super easy and people seem to really enjoy eating it.

3. The hostess of the party is a crazy person! She has a set of buck teeth that she wore for the duration of the party. At one point, she strapped a stuffed puppy that "humps" on her leg, then went around asking everybody if they had brought their dog to the party. Needless to say, she is always the highlight of the party.

4. Not sure what I'm going to do today. Either clean the house or go finish up Christmas shopping. Neither is really appealing to me at this moment.

5. I'm envious of Jbean being able to drink champagne. I always get a major headache from that. She's lucky.

6. This week at work will be relatively slow as it's such a short week. Think I'm going to enjoy that!

1. i had a blast at my party/exchange last night, too. my mom's side of the family is crazy.

2. the white elephant gift i ended up with is a farting reindeer named RUDE-Y. lol. i stole it from my aunt who was going to "re-gift" it. whatever, rudey is a gem, i am keeping him!

3. this morning i have to go take my pictures to get them 1 hour developed. my friend wants to put the one of she and i kissing buddy jewell in her dad's cd she got him for christmas.

4. this afternoon is our work christmas party at the ice park. i have successfully taught myself how to ice skate without falling, or hurting myself in any way, so it should be a lot of fun.

5. i couldn't go back to sleep this morning, i woke up around 7:15. i was so wound up last night that i didn't go to bed until 1:00 am. geez. maybe i will sleep better tonight because of it.

6. only a 2 day work week for me, woo hoo! i then i am on vacation until jan 5th (i think) whatever the first monday of the new year is.

7. tomorrow night i am going out to eat with my mom, grandma and some friends at a place called lamberts (home of the throwed rolls). you can eat there for free on your birthday. yay for free food!

1. I'm wondering what throwed rolls are.

2. My mil came over yesterday to drop off Christmas presents. She stayed 22 minutes (an improvement over last year.)

3. She bought us a 5ft tall Santa that sings and dances. He's kind of cute, but the kids keep him going all the time, and when I walk out of the hall and come around the corner, all I see is this short man standing in the corner. Scares the crud out of me.

4. We took the kids to the roller skating rink yesterday for a birthday party. My whole childhood was spent in this place, and I felt like crying when I walked in. So much has changed and not for the good.

5. The people who owned it when I was a kid sold the skating rink a few years ago. New owners don't seem to care as much as the old ones did. The building itself was falling apart, but even the rental skates were in lousy condition. Darren had a pair that the stopper fell off of. He exchanged them for a pair that the wheel fell of of. Very sad.

6. At least the kids had fun. Dakota and Caleb did well skating. My niece made it around a few times before deciding her legs were tired, lol.

7. Sis and bil picked up older niece and dropped off the baby. I told them not to rush, she'd be fine. They picked her up around midnight.

8. I finished my shopping. Now I need to finish wrapping and sorting and can enjoy the three days before Christmas relaxing and kicking back, glad that I'm done!

1. Right now I am envious that Wargod has a child named Dakota.
2. Dakota is what I have always dreamed of naming my first child, but DH strongly opposed.
3. That's okay though. My daughter was born the day after St. Patricks day and I am part Irish so McKayla fits just fine.
4. I used to go to a roller skating rink all the time as well when I was a child, but our local rink has turned into the teenage hangout and is far too scary to play at anymore.
5. In fact last year there was even a drive by shooting in the parking lot. Sad....It is too bad our children can not enjoy the same freedoms we did as youngsters without fears of being shot or taken.
6. I am still trying to pack for our week long drip to the in-laws.....will I ever make it?
7. I am watching Trading Spaces in between, however, can you believe Hildi actually did a normal room! No feathers or cardboard in site yet!
8 .I finished all of my shopping a few days ago, but still have those doubts that I have gotten enough for everyone or the right gifts.
9. I really enjoy the holidays, but I think this year they have worn me out!

war, the waiters and waitresses literally throw rolls in the air to people for them to catch and of course eat. these rolls are to die for. SO GOOD!

1. I ate at Lamberts 2 years ago when I was on vacation at Ozark, MO.

2. It was tons of fun catching the rolls.:)

3. I took my MIL to the grocery store today. Fun..fun.

4. She only buys groceries once a month so the backend of my Jeep was filled to capacity.

5. We went to the LOTR Friday. It was so long...I am suprised I stayed awake.

6. I am through shopping except for a gift for my Mom.

7. She doesn't give gifts so I'm not quite sure if I should buy her one.

8. If I do get something...it will be very practical and something she can use.

9. I plan on making a trip to the used book store tomorrow. I'm gonna have to hit the library thread for some suggestions.

10. I am so hungry...I can't wait till lunch tomorrow. We are going to Peking for the best Chinese food around. Mmmmmm...TSO chicken.

Jbean, I have been to the home of the throwed rolls!

They throw your rolls at you? LOL, definitely sounds interesting!

1. 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 1 month, and a nut. That's the ages of all six kids who will be running a-muck in my house all day tomorrow and a description of me.

1. I now know why Santa makes a list and checks it twice. (See below)

2. Aarrggg...I have to go back to Target today to exchange a dvd. I had bought a used LOTR-The Two Towers a few weeks ago at a video store for $9.00. Yesterday, I picked up LOTR-The Two Towers at Target thinking I had the first movie. Grrrrr. (But I did sneak a watch of the used dvd while son was gone last night, LOL).

1. I have only read a couple of threads the past week since just getting out of bed was a major chore.
2. I have the most dreaded flu. I'm trying to sweat it off so I will be in good enough shape to go to hubby's sister's for Christmas.
3. Since I have spent so much time in bed my DH gave me an early Christmas present. The book, The DaVinci Code. Good book in between sleep times.
3.5 Everyone please forgive me for not sending out Christmas/Birthday wishes and not being in chat. Going back to bed now but I want you all to know that I love you and miss you all!

{{{Twinkie}}} I hope you get better IMMEDIATELY!! Take care of yourself. Don't worry about the Christmas wishes; a single post in the "Messages to Everyone" is sufficient. It's more important that you get into bed and drink plenty of fluids!!! Love you, too!!!

1. Cut 11 year old daughter's hair yesterday; came out adorable!
2. We're thinking about joining the cell phone world and are looking at Virgin Mobiles.
3. Apparently there is no monthly charge; works off a "phone card" idea; use when you need it.
4. This is in prep for our road trip to California on Christmas Day.
5. Taking our three boys to see "Elf" tonight.
6. Daughter gets to go to a movie with a friend and then spend the night.
7. All finished with treat plates for neighbors; all delivered as well!
8. Packages wrapped and ready to go under tree.
9. Santa is coming Tuesday night (had to make special arrangements, LOL) as we will celebrate Christmas on Wednesday.
10. Road trip starts on Christmas morning. Phew. Half packed already!

AuntieMike.. Be aware that those prepaid's have dealines. Usually 45 days from date of purchase. Use the time or lose it. My son did that for about 6 months. He spent more on cards then he would have getting the cheapest monthly plan.
Just FYI.. :)

My pre-paids for 3 months with Boost Mobile. I buy a 20 dollar card, and usually by the end of the three months I've manage to use most of it. I never came close to using all the minutes I got on a traditional plan, so for me, the prepaid was the best way to go.

1. Nieces and nephews have been here since 9:30am. They've been yelling and screaming and having a good time, mostly.

2. Fed them lunch at 11:30, then sent the boys to one room and the girls to the other. Changed the baby, fed the baby, burped the baby, put her in her swing and she went right to sleep.

3. Cable's out on the tv again. I know they're still working on the lines, but I have a housefull of kids and need some kind of diversion!

4. So thought I'd come online for a few minutes. Kids are quiet, baby is sleeping...soon as I see my welcome message, the baby starts crying. Yup, day's going well so far, LOL.

LOL... give Wargod a ^5 What a woman!! Yep, you deserve a prize!!

Twinkie, dont apologize, the moderator has now posted in the members folder, Got my attention all right!! Message to Members

I have no idea what I spent all my money on, but it wasnt me!! and its gone. Food cost a lot too. I hate not having money. Can someone find me a job so I can make $10,000 a month for life, as opposed to $10,000 a year?

DD is getting better. I am a horrible, bad, no good mommy. I felt like spanking 6 year, she nearly knocked over the tree,she refuses to take advil, she wouldnt let me take her temperature. she has to take the Motrin. She needs medicine. Her temp was 101.8. why is she so active at 101? She fights medicine. Her nose is so very red, she wont let me put vaseline on it, or chapstick. I can just imagine. She will survive, this too shall pass. And wargod is dealing with how many?

How Long does the "File Locking Error" keep popping up for others?

1. That's a good deal War on your pre-paid. We had AT&T.. They suck.lol

2. Reader, I've been getting file lockers when I open the New Message feature from my favs list. Sometimes it clears, other times I have to go into gen discussions first.

3. If you hear about some woman spontaneously combusting in WA state, it's probably me.. LOL

4. Not only are all our teens home, but one has a friend over. Plus DH is working. So I have 5 teens, 3 little kids, 1 no-good adult, 1 rowdy dog and an impending visit from my Dad tomorrow morning... yikes

4. I can't wait to see his expression when he see's all these people. It's sad. He lives only about an hour away, but I haven't seen him since this time last year. He'll probably stay a few minutes longer than War's MIL.

5. Last but not least.... My DH is soooooo moody that I'm ready to ship him off to Siberia until the holidays are over. He blames it on the rigors of child custody at Christmas when he was growing up. GRRR..lol

5.6899 I don't know where I'm at but I want to say again that I am so happy that my slight computer problems yesterday were so minimal. If I didn't have this escape, this GETAWAY, I truly would go mad. TVCH

1. It's been a while since I've posted here.
2. I thought I had 5 days with no sports chauffeuring for my kids .... psych!
3. Tomorrow DD has to go to softball
4. Hey, I got my lights on my tree today, lol
5. I finished my shopping today, too, whoo hoo!!
6. Auntiemike, I bought a Virgin Mobile for my kids, its very convenient. It's every 90 days that you have to top-up. So I end up paying $20 every 90 days and I have great piece of mind knowing that if my kids are out they can reach me in an emergency.

1.THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has posted birthday and christmas greetings in my folder. i am planning on individually thanking each of you in your folders, but my stupid webtv is so slow! so it may take a few days to get to everyone, please don't take it personally, i love you all!

2. have i mentioned today how much i love my friends and family? i had a blast tonight at lambert's.

3. mom and i fought over my driving (stuff that wasn't my fault) with my friend that met her 5 minutes earlier in the backseat. after that we were good, though.

4. i got a lot of nice, thoughtful gifts from everyone, but the best thing was just getting to be with them.

5. one more work day til vacation starts...WOO HOO!

6. i am being loaned out to a different department at work for today and tomorrow. i am building rockers for International Diesel trucks for the 2 days. the change is really nice and the day went really fast today...hopefully tomorrow, too.

7. just want to tell you all that i love you guys and i appreciate what all of you bring to the board. (sorry, i am getting mushy in my old age...lol, on my way to my profile to change my age now)

1. I love the way no one knows how to count in this thread!
2. I haven't been 'to' the movies in months
3. I miss going
4. There are several movies I just bought because I had not gone to the theater to see them
5. We still don't have a cell/mobile/whatever phone
6. My message machine is a beautiful thing. It lets telemarketers do their job over and over and over and over and over and all I have to do is hit erase
7. I've missed your posts Ladytex, and good luck to your DD

*8. Jbeansweetie beat me to seven (Jbean be sure to copy and cut your posts before hitting the post button or the file locking system will steal it from you!)

Jbean!!! And everybody else - DON'T post personally in everybody's folder. People posting in everybody's folder is why we are all getting too many file-locking messages. The LOVE is taking us down. We are overloading on sweetness. Everybody go eat some chocolate right now instead of posting. Thank you.

1. I love this thread. It's the most important one to me, next to Tess' Tales.

2. I went to Larry's house tonight to exchange christmas gifts with him.

3. He gave me the LOTR Two Towers extended version on DVD.

4. I gave him a big glass jar of my famous trail mix that he loves.

5. I keep losing weight, and I'm not even trying to. I haven't weighed what I do now in over 20 years!

6. I walked 2 miles today then got in the hot tub. After that, I layed on my bed and watched TV because I was so tired.

7. I haven't seen or talked to Dennis since friday, but we have exchanged emails.

8. He is recovering from knee surgery and is sleeping all the time.

9. I started painting a new rock today. This one is for me, with designs that I love, that have special meanings to me.

1. I'd love to see some of Sage's rocks. I've always wanted to have an artsy hobby that didn't involve a mouse!

2. Wouldn't it figure that the first time I really decided to post a fact or two about me that I'd end up with 10?

3. I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year since my daughter is almost 3 and can really grasp the Santa and presents thing. It should be a fun holiday.

4. I made Christmas cookies for the first time ever last night and I'm very proud of my efforts. I wish I could give everyone at TVCH one. (I probably have enough to do that, too, I kinda overdid it.)

5. Christmas tends to make me very emotional . . . I think about all the people I love and what they've meant to me. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for this forum, I really enjoy the interactions I have with all of you!

6. Tomorrow I'm making Christmas Eve dinner at my inlaws since my mother-in-law has to work until 5:00. Wish me luck!

7. I've been transferring my 8mm tapes to videotape in the past few days . . . it's been great to watch my dd over the last few years . . . but it does remind me how much I'd like another baby!

8. I'm worrying about Tater today. Please join me in sending good thoughts and healing vibes to her!

9. I think tonight I'll clean house and organize my presents according to where they have to be delivered. Sometimes I hate being obsessive compulsive.

10. I think I really need to eat something WITHOUT sugar in it. I'm a spaz today.

2. I love Dra, too, for pointing me there since I'm too dense today to check her profile. Thanks Pastor!
