ok, with juju's warning, and at the mod's request, i will not be posting in everyone's folder, but i will thank each of you in the messages to everyone thread. sorry, i know it isn't the same, but i don't want to be part of a problem (lol, like i am not already in parts of my life hahaha!)

1. my pictures of/with buddy jewell turned out awesome! i would post them if i had the means to do so.

2. i am amazed that both juju and kady have been to lamberts and it is only 15 minutes away from where i live.

3. the mall was a zoo tonight. i don't recommend going shopping in the next 24 hours unless it is absolutely necessary.

merry christmas everybody!

1. Wally-world wasn't even that crowded this afternoon when I took my Dad shopping. It was no sweat!

2. All the lovely snow we had last week has melted and now we're just having rain. Hmmph!

3. The tree is up and decorated, almost everything is wrapped, but I haven't baked the first thing! I have a second wave of Christmas cards to post tomorrow, including the ones I have to send to people that I didn't mail an early card to--you know, hoping they'd get fed up and cross me off their Christmas card list.

4. The kids are up late tonight, but are in the tub now for a bath. I need a cup of coffee!

Merry Christmas/Season's Greetings to all.

1. We cheated and opened our gifts tonight!!

2. My hubby suprised me with a little gadget that I can plug into my portable CD player and play CD's through my radio speakers.

3. The bad thing is my CD player is ancient and won't work so I'll have to get a new one.

4. My son got me a Christmas beanie bear and a puzzle with 2 cute kittens.

5. We are going to Azriel's tomorrow for a gift exchange and hopefully a few games of Trivial Pursuit. (I hear she has fudge...Yummy!!)


Merry Christmas Everyone!!

1. We opened a few tonight too. Not even tonight- this afternoon!! Heehee- we saved a few for my mom's house, but I made Tim open his best ones because I was so excited about them.

2. I let him open a 80 gig hard drive and a laptop backpack. He let me open a new sleeping bag (mine has fire spark holes) and new flannel pajamas. He even got good colors!!!

3. I hate car horns. See the "Right Now" thread for an explanation.

4. I love cute cops. Again, see the "Right Now" thread for an explanation.

5. I watched "Dragonheart" tonight. Didn't really like it.

6. I hope everyone has a great holiday! I'm leaving for my mom's tomorrow and will be coming home Saturday.

1. I'm all alone at home today. Hubby and son are at work and DD is due to arrive about 1 pm.
2. All the food prep is done, and just a little more house cleaning to do.
3. We had a wonderful time at my sons house on Saturday. Only one problem. We arrived about a 1/2 hour early. His girlfriend answered the door with the look of utter shock!!! They hadn't finished cleaning the house, wrapping presents, and in fact had to run to the store to buy one last minute gift...lol!
4. That'll teach em to be procrastinators.
5. I did feel sorry for them though, we should've called when we realized we had allowed more then enough time to get there.
6. We didn't get any new snow for Christmas but the trees are all covered in frost. It looks like a fairy land outside.
7. I had a really hard time coming up with a Christmas list this year, I have everything I want or need in life!

1. we're doing christmas with my immediate family tonight at mom's house. my mom, my sisters, my brother in law and niece.

2. i still have to wrap everything. ack! rg, what can i say, i am a procrastinator myself.

3. i think my cat is trying to test out if she really has 9 lives today, she is being a royal pain in the ass! it's ok, though, i am glad i have her.

4. high school reunion is in 2 days. i am getting anxious about it. i still have to get a necklace to wear with my dress.

5. i think i need to go back to walmart and get something else for my niece. i don't think i got her enough. she is only 4 so she probably won't care, but for someone who brings such joy to my life....she deserves more.

6. i got rear-ended last night stopped in traffic at the mall. it scared the shit out of me. i thought something had blown up in my car for it to make that noise and make it jump like that. no damage was done to either car, and it was a young woman who was just as shaken as me by the incident.

7. some of you will appreciate this, my friend got me the dvd of "from justin to kelly" for christmas. can't wait to get my dvd player so i can watch it again.

8. i hope all of you have a safe and happy holiday.

1. On my way to clean the kitchen, but I'm procrastinating too. I'm doing company coming over cleaning today.

2. Kids are cleaning their rooms with no fight at all!

3. Today is the last day I have to listen to my children fight over who gets to use Caleb's skates. Santa is bringing Dakota's and I never thought I'd last this long.

4. Jbean, I bought my 5 year old neice a couple of My little Ponies. When I told my sister I needed to get her something more, she asked what I'd gotten her. Unknown to me at the time I bought them, Santa was bringing her the My Little Pony dreamhouse. So I bought a few more, lol. I love buying toys sometimes!

5. MOW gets off work at 12, then he'll be home til Jan. 5.

6. I still have a few presents to wrap, 2 dozen eggs to boil, sugar cookies to make, get the kids showered and bathed, and fix as much of Christmas dinner as I can tonight. All that's before we can take the kids to visit Santa at my sister's and before I spend half the night assembling toys.

7. My BIL's youngest sister flew in yesterday. We went out to see her for awhile last night. She came with two huge suitcases. I asked her how many clothes she needed for a weeks stay and she laughed and informed me all her clothes fit in a carry on bag, she just brought two, huge, empty suitcases because she knew her brothers, dad, aunts, and uncles would be giving her lots of gifts, LOL.

8. Kids turned Santa to motion sensor. Everytime anyone walks by him he springs to life singing and dancing. I've spent the morning looking around trying to figure out who this man singing in my house is!

9. Happy Holidays to all my TVCH friends. Year round you guys make me laugh, smile, think, and sometimes cry with you. I hope all of you have a fantastic holiday.

4. My daughter's family is spending the holidays with her dad in Georgia
5. My oldest son is spending the holidays with his Jewish friends surfing Kauai

7. My middle son is keeping me company while I finish wrapping presents and cooking, and my grandbabies will share their joy of presents at the other grandparents' house where we will be eating dinner that I don't have to cook or clean up
8. My hubby is giving me three gifts this year, quite a change from the usual "Bah Humbug"!
9. I am laughing and crying with all the people sharing their days of decorating, shopping, wrapping & baking
10. I need to get busy!

1. I got my Christmas present early today. The little kids staying here have been told that they are moving into their Auntie's house, because she is moving into another place. So that means I get my house back really soon, maybe even this weekend!!! Yey for Me.

Have a WONDERFUL couple of days everyone. Be Safe, and Happy!

1. Yay MGA!!! That is such wonderful news.

2. Went to see Stuck On You today, Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear as cojoined twins. I wasn't enthusiastic about seeing it, and it was only a mild chuckle. Wait for this one to come out at the video store. On 88 cent day.

1. I haven't been able to see my new boyfriend, Dennis since last Friday because of his knee surgery, but we are at least exchanging emails.

2. I must be crazy, but we are both falling in love with each other, and I think of him every waking moment.

3. There is going to be a crowd here tomorrow for opening gifts and dinner afterwards.

(Great news MGA, you need the peace and the rest from all the stress you've endured.)

1. Gifts are all wrapped. All the food that could be prepared today is done. The only toy that needed assembling was done and played with by MOW earlier today. House is ready for company. Everyone but me is sleeping peacefully.

2. All I have to do is set out Santa's gifts and fill the stockings.

3. Santa made a brief stop at my sisters tonight to pass out one toy for each kid. When Santa left, a friend of ours came in. All the kids ran to give him hugs, and my 4 year old neice looked at him and said, "Martin, you are Santa Claus." We played it off the best we could. It's not that she thinks Santa is make believe, nope, she's just firmly convinced Santa is her friend Martin, LOL.

4. The kids were asleep ten minutes after we got home. I told them both if the clock doesn't say 7am, they need to go back to bed for awhile. Otherwise, I'd have Caleb up at 5:30am wanting us to come open presents.

Have fun WAR and all you guys with little ones!!!! I really miss that.

Everyone else... Have a GREAT day too, no matter what you're doing.. :)

(PS.. is anyone still having the Prime Rib they bought earlier this week? We are, but it's kind of scary since we live in Wa state. MIL bought it for us, but we wouldn't have the money or time to replace it even if we wanted too. )

1. Merry Christmas to Everyone! Hope you all enjoy your festive celebrations today.

2. Aaack! My son and hubby gave me a kitchen appliance! I cannot believe they forgot the golden rule about nothing with an electrical cord....Oh well, at least they know I'm returning it.

3. I was the last one to pull at Dirty Santa last night. Woohoo! So I got back the Grease DVD that I had brought. (I've been wanting that for years and would never buy it for myself)

4. Attended Christmas Mass yesterday afternoon. The church had already filled up, but they had arranged a second mass in the community center. While my MIL was a bit disappointed not to hear the choir, I was thrilled to actually have a seat.

5. Sitting in the row in front of me was Mario Lopez! (He was with his fiancee' Ali Landry). He has a very cute butt.

1. AAAACCCKKKK! I overslept this morning! Here is it almost 8am, and I wanted to be on the road by 5am so I could go to church in NYC! I'm REALLY tired from the music marathon at my church last night, so I guess that it's ok that I needed my rest. I KNEW that there was a reason that I didn't email my friend who plays at St. Thomas about going to services there.

2. We have a dusting of snow this morning. This is nice because a couple of days ago we had lots of dirty snow, and then yesterday we had lots of rain that washed away every bit of dirty snow. The light dusting makes everything look pretty.

3. I'm leaving for NYC this morning, and will try to see four broadway shows in three days! I'm hoping for an open gas station on i-80, cause I can't make it on one tank.

4. I'm eating the last of my crock pot roast beef/carrots/onions/mushrooms for breakfast this morning. I just LOVE "finishing" up the fridge before I travel. I'll take the leftover pizza with me to nosh on in the car.

5. My "check engine" light has gone on twice since the week of Thanksgiving. They had the car in for an extended time on Monday and hooked it up to a smoke machine and couldn't figure out what was wrong. Both times the code was for "vapor" or "emissions".

6. Air France cancelled six flights from Paris to LA this morning. LAX is tightened security. No national news about NYC, but I'm sure they have beefed up their security, too.

Merry Christmas everyone!

1. hope everyone had an awesome christmas...i did! :)

2. i got my dvd player and have been watching dvds, now i am obsessed. they are neat. i like watching all the extras.

3. the only bad thing is that when i want to use my webtv i have to unhook dvd and vice versa. my tv is old and only has the one video hookup, so i have an rf modulator, but it only has one connector. no biggie, just an added hassle. oh well.

4. tonight is my 10 yr high school reunion. i am excited. i look really good in my dress.

5. i hit the mall today for the "sales". there weren't any really good sales, but i still emerged with a pair of jeans, a sweater and some earrings and a necklace to go with my dress tonight.

6. the jeans were $16.99 at lerner and i have a hard time finding jeans that fit the way i like them.

7. i also re-streaked my hair today. hoping to look really hot tonight. lol.

8. i have a huge bruise on my ass and i have no idea how it got there. i haven't even had any alcohol recently enough for that to have played a part. wth? (i am sure you all wanted to know about that. lol)

(Hi jbeannie!! Sorry to hear about the mysterious bruise on your ass...but since you brought up the subject, I thought about you yesterday after my ds got a great pair of Doc Marten Steel-Toed Ass-Kicking Boots for Christmas..LOL!!
P.S. Have fun at your 10 year reunion and I absolutely know that you will be looking hot tonight!!)

1. I had an absolutely wonderful Christmas.

2. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I stayed away from my family and spent the holiday with Azriel and family.

3. I hit Walmart for some after Christmas sales today.

4. I stayed away from the half-price candy. Yea me!!

5. Although I am well stocked on bubble bath and other junk I don't really need.

6. Hubby would be shocked to know that I still have his Christmas bonus gift card.

7. So lets not tell him...wouldn't want him to go into heart failure.

8. I'm thinking I need to get a digital camera with it.

9. There is nothing good on tv tonight so I think I may read and listen to music.

1. Hey everybody!! Happy Friday/Day After....

2. Well, where do I start?

3. I spent the better part of the last 36 hours playing an online game.

4. I found it to be the perfect distraction for everything going on here, and I was determined to make it to 1st place.

5. I stayed up all night long, and went to bed at 7am. Got back up around noon today and continued to play all day until about 8pm.

6. During that time I made it to first place and stayed there until the end of the day, finally finishing second.

7. Now I came back here to try and catch up.

8. I'm really tired and think I might go to bed "early" for a change. My legs are so swollen they hurt...

9. Things have been pretty stressful around here, and we found out that our "friends" may not be leaving afterall this weekend.. sad Now it look's like Jan 20th.

10. I hate the fact that my facts are always sad!! My goal for 2004 is to try and post some happy facts, dammit!!

1. Boys Swimming today, DS didnt do well, but he was sick, so its all good! Its way too hot in those pool rooms - I miss hockey! :(

2. DS #1 got a letter from his school, which I opened (try that in a scruple thread!) I want to know his grades, I"M PAYING THE BILLS darn it. NO grades, just a letter informing ds that he is on Acedemic probation. I opened it on Christmas Eve, dh begged me to wait till after Christmas for the confrontation. I did. Lots of tears, and promises (from me! *g) Ds is to write a paper to AHIHA outlining his goals, and how he plans on achieving them. One of his goals is to find a way to pay for hearing aides. There's my rant, Insurance will cover glasses - but NOT hearing aides, of course hearing aides are $3,000

1. I slept for 14 hours and it felt wonderful! My kidlets and Egbob were astounded because I've never done that before.

2. Last night Egbob and I went to see Lord of The Rings - The Return of The King. We both enjoyed this film very much.

3. I'm hoping that Egbob, the kidlets and I will go out to dinner tonight. I just don't want to face the kitchen today....<sigh>...
