Grannyg | Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 04:21 pm     1. Eggie, Dh and I took the kidlets out to Outback for Dinner. (at least I didn't have to cook AGAIN!!) 2. DS finally went back to his house. He's been here most of the time since the accident. 3. HE IS FINE AND NEEDS TO BE AT HIS HOUSE!! 4. DD leaves Monday. Is it Monday yet? |
Cjr | Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 05:35 pm     1. This has been the best holiday season in years because I had all 3 sons and their wonderful girlfriends and their families at my house this year. Everyone bonded and got along extremely well! 2. I got to go to Disneyland with my son's girlfriend and I really, really, love her and want them to get married! (I'm afraid to tell him!) 3. My SIL and MIL came up today and celebrated Christmas with us and we all laughed for 3 hours straight until our tummies hurt! Since my MIL has severe short term memory loss we don't get that many great moments with her. 4. My other son gave his girlfriend an engagement ring for Christmas and I am gaining a wonderful DIL and gaining a beautiful granddaughter who I love dearly already!! YIPPEE 5. I have another granddaughter due in March and they told me her name will be Hannah, which I love! What a great family time this year! I have so many blessings right now! |
Jewels | Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 07:08 pm     1. We had a wonderful holiday too! I want to sleep for 14 hours like Egbok! 2. I cooked Christmas dinner for my parents and my in-laws. It all turned out really great. I was the only one to get sick afterwards, I guess that is a good thing! 3. I loved Christmas this year with the little ones. We had so much fun. 4. When my son saw that Santa had eaten the cookies we left he said, "Is he still in our house?" in this cute excited little voice, it was adorable. 5. My kids got so many presents we haven't even played with half of them and my daughter still has one wrapped that she hasn't even opened. 6. I hope everyone had a great holiday!  |
Jbean | Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 08:28 pm     1. i had a great time at my HS reunion. 2. last night was the dinner/dance part and today we met at the school and toured it. 3. it is good now that we are all more mature that everyone is equal. no more popularity contests. 4. going back to the school today was weird. it was very twighlight zone-ish. 5. it was funny how the building seems so much smaller than it did back in the day! 6. after the reunion, i went over to my best friend's mom's house, hoping she would be in town so i could gossip about everyone (lol) since she opted not to go. 7. she was there and we dished and caught up for about 2 hours. it was fun to see her, too. ps. eggie, i got a new pair of ass-kickers today at wal-mart for $12.....they are SO COOL they are tan patchwork with tall heels, which are a must for ass-kickers! pps.enjoy the rest of the weekend, everybody! |
Kady | Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 09:38 pm     1. I got some cool puzzles at Albertson's today for only $2. 2. Then I hit Blockbuster for a buy 2 get 1 free sale. 3. I think I love shopping after the holiday's than before. 4. My son's portable DVD player is da bomb!! 5. It is so cool to go down the road watching movies. Although I'm not really watching...I'm paying close attention to the road. 6. Azriel got me a Beanie Baby from her visit to Malasia for Christmas. So that makes 1 from Singapore and 1 from Malasia. I hoping she can get the matching Japan one from the airport on her layover when she goes back to Singapore. 7. I also ordered 8 Beanie Bears from E-bay today. 8. I need to quit buying things...my money tree is getting bare. I'll stop as soon as I place my order for some books on Half.com. At least all the stuff I'm getting is at great prices!! |
Wargod | Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 10:12 pm     1. We've spent the last two days housebound, doing not much of anything. 2. Today we spent some time cleaning and putting away Christmas toys. 3. Then we sat around watching movies. 4. Darren's been busy playing video games with the kids while I've been playing board games. 5. Kind of nice to have a few quiet days since everyone is on vacation. 6. BIL called at 9:30pm tonight to see if we would loan him our car again to take his little sister to the airport in the morning. 7. Sis called two minutes later to ask if we would watch the girls so she can drive down with them. 8. They're dropping them off at 5am in the morning. They are never, ever, ever on time (it's a good day if they're only an hour late) but how much you want to bet they will be here right on time in the morning? 9. I'm just a big sucker..why do I say yes when they ask at the last possible minute? |
Grannie | Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 10:30 pm     1. Help 2. My friend wants to go to movies 3. Tomorrow. 4. Notice that I said "movies" 5. Not "movie" 6. Wants to meet for breakfast 7. Then see the first available movie 8. Then the second.... 9. Then the third...etc. 10. What should I do? |
Juju2bigdog | Saturday, December 27, 2003 - 10:51 pm     1. Grannie, you should politely decline, saying you have to babysit Wargod's nieces and nephews beginning at 5 a.m. |
Grannie | Sunday, December 28, 2003 - 09:20 pm     1. Thanks Juju but my friend has known me for like 30 years and said who is Wargod? 2. Met for breakfast at 9:30 a.m. 3. Great view. Men standing around to watch. 4. They had golf carts 5. and Golf stuff and it was the first hole 6. Then saw Cold Mountain? (CRS already) 7. Was very sad 8. Then saw Somethings Gotta Give 9. Loved it 10. Laughed and laughed. |
Egbok | Sunday, December 28, 2003 - 09:41 pm     1. I'm reading Cold Mountain right now and afterwards I'd like to see the movie. |
Grannie | Sunday, December 28, 2003 - 09:56 pm     Ms. Eggie: Jude, Renee and Nicole were terrific in the movie. I am usually disappointed in a movie when I have read the book. Have not read Cold Mountain so can't compare that one for you. Runaway Jury was a great book but the movie was very different and a disappointment to me anyway. |
Hermione69 | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 04:28 am     1. My sister was listening to Cold Mountain on tape on 9-11 and she wasn't able to finish it after she heard about the attacks because she couldn't concentrate on it anymore. To this day she hasn't been able to go back to it because of the negative connotations. It's weird how our minds work sometimes... I have a hard time watching Maverick with Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson because it reminds me of the very worst period of my marriage. Most peculiar. 2. I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays. Drive carefully! |
Sage | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 08:47 am     1. It's snowing here today. Yuck. 2. I spent the weekend with my new boyfriend, Dennis. 3. I'm going to Larry's for a New Year's Eve party, and hopefully Dennis will be able to go with me. It depends on how his knee is feeling. |
Spygirl | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 09:55 am     1. I'm home!!! 2. I've been reading the Updates for the last week, but since my parents have a dial up (blech!), I haven't posted much at all. 3. I've missed everyone 4. I'll continue reading the board and try to make some posts. |
Ddr1135 | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 12:02 pm     1. Son and I went to the Saints/Cowboys Game yesterday and got to sit on the field. I think everyone should be able to experience that. We had soooooo much fun and my son got to take some awesome photos! I'll try and get them posted later in the week. 2. I received my invitation to the Governor's Inauguration and Ball today! Woohoo! I get to see history in the making as she is the first woman governor in our state. 3. I've been doing a lot of cleaning downstairs the last few days and haven't posted here much. But I'm "almost" finished with all the extra laundry stuff I've let pile up. (As if you EVER finish with laundry, LOL). 4. Not sure what I'm doing for New Year's Eve. I'm going to a mini-party that afternoon and I'll see where it goes from there. 5. I've been enjoying all the dvds my son got for Christmas. I'm loving the scene in Bruce Almighty with the newscaster! |
Not1worry | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 12:28 pm     1. I'm home, too! 2. I'm glad to be back on my broadband. I think my long-suffering sighs over my mom's dial-up connection might be working. She actually looked into the broadband. 3. It took forever to read TVCH threads! 4. She got a new laptop for Christmas. It's bewildering her and I think it's going to be a very expensive Solitaire game. 5. I drove straight from my mom's (2 hours) to the cable company to pick up the stuff for my digital cable and DVR. 6. Once I realized I was going to have to move the treadmill to move the entertainment center to get to the wires on the TV I lost some enthusiasm. Plus it looks very complicated to figure out. Times like these I really miss DH. Well, I miss him all the time for better reasons, but he is very good at putting things together and moving heavy stuff. |
Jbean | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 03:14 pm     wb spy and not1, glad you are home safe. 1. i am going to see the st louis blues play on new years day! woo hoo! i have never been to a real-live (hockey) game and i am excited about it. 2. my alterego friend got the tickets off of someone she deals with through work. she is a hockey fanatic. 3. i semi-shopped all day today. i didn't even end up buying anything. seems like when i have money to shop with, i can't find anything i like. 4. i was looking for stuff to match some necklace slides i got for my birthday that i don't have anything to match either one of them. i know it is heartbreaking, isn't it? lol 5. i watched the extended version of from justin to kelly last night. there are 2 extra songs on the dvd. 6. i have slept until at least 9 everyday that i have been off work. next week, 6 is going to be a rude awakening. 7. i love being well-rested, makes for a much less crabby me. |
Jewels | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 08:08 pm     1. We got snow today! 2. It is a rare appearance here, but this is the second time we have had it this year. Last year we didn't have any. 3. At my house we only got about 1/2 inch, but enough to play in. 4. We went to my sister-in-laws were they had about 5 inches and sledded in their steep driveway. 5. My son LOVED it! It was so much fun. 6. My hubby and I are snow fanatics and watched the radar all day yesterday waiting for it. We woke up in the middle of the night, just to see if it was snowing yet. 7. We might get more at the end of the week. 8. We really need to move to a place where it snows more often! |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, December 29, 2003 - 09:39 pm     You are sick, Jewels, you know that. We got some snow yesterday too. |
Essence | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 06:09 am     1. I'm still on vacation from work (I don't go back until next Monday.) 2. I am visiting with my mother. 3. She lives in an older house where the gas man has to come inside to read the meter. 4. He showed up this morning before 9 am (so now I'm wide awake.) 5. My mother has had me in and out of stores since I got here. 6. Yesterday she had me wallpapering and painting my OLD room (now her activity room with a bed for my visits.) 7. I am worn out and still have 4 more days to go. 8. She went back to work today, so maybe I'll get a break. 9. Better yet I need to go home to get some rest. |
Sillycalimomma | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 10:40 am     1. I am on break from college for almost another month! 2. I have no idea what I will do with myself 3. I have already finished two books, and am moving onto a third I received for Christmas. 4. It was an Oprah book club read-The Italian Affair. 5. Doesn't really look like my cup of tea, but I will give it a shot. 6. It is supposed to be storming here for the next few days....and my heater is out...oh joy 7. And of course I don't have a fireplace to keep me warm-Darn Californian I am. 8. My daughter is still rambling on and on and on about Universal Studios 9. I thought for sure she would love Disneyland more, but now she has decided she would like to become an actress. 10. I am going to be sad to send her back to school next week-oh okay I will be sad that I have to get up, make breakfast and play "mom" again so soon...........vacations should last six months I tell you! |
Reader234 | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 01:08 pm     1. I'm BORED!!
|
Grannyg | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 01:48 pm     1. DH is on vacation and I'm on vacation. Nuff said. 2. I'm fixing to make some more Party Mix for DS who is eating that stuff like it's the only thing to eat. (He is coming by when he gets off to pick it up and take it to HIS house. My suggestion, of course. YEAH!!!) |
Reader234 | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 02:41 pm     1. DS, ok all of us darling people, are slobs, and we had to go searching for their Best Buy Gift Cards... which we found 2. While searching I bent over and hit the edge of the table, and RIPPPPP, my only pair of jeans now has a hole in the butt 3. Its not payday for another week (and you cant needle and thread a repair in the butt of jeans) |
Yankee_In_Ca | Tuesday, December 30, 2003 - 03:17 pm     1. I'm home too! Was in NYC and DC for 2 weeks, where it was unseasonably warm. 2. It's snowing here in Vancouver today which, despite it being Canada, is VERY WEIRD. It doesn't snow much in this city. 20 minutes out of the city in the mountains, yes, but not down here at sea level! But it's snowing today! 3. I will be in LA next week for business and while I love to travel, right now I just want to stay at home and snuggle up with a book or play a computer game. 4. I got an iPod for Christmas. I already have over 7000 songs on it -- and I don't even download songs on the internet! |
