MY DAY TURNED OUT TO BE A LAZY ONE. MY BOSS IS OUT SO I DIDN'T GO DOWN. WE PLAN TO MEET TOMORROW AND HELP EACH OTHER WITH SOME STUFF...AND ME OF COURSE WITH THE SENIORS CHRISTMAS TREE. SIGH. NOTHING NEW HERE. HAVE A GREAT DAY

Morning all,
Short post this morning and I will be back with personals when it gets too hot to do anything else. At the moment the temps in here are 25C which means that it has climbed at least 2 degrees in the last hour. I can see we are in for another hot one today. We are supposed to get storms but can't see that happening anytime soon.

Today will be another busy one - so long as I can maintain the momentum. Been slipping a bit when it gets hot. I've some more boxes ready to take to DS2's shed and have to finish washing down some walls in the house. I also need to do some housework here. I think I need a wife!!!! I also have to sand down some plastering that I did yesterday and do some more plastering as well.

I think I have a job. Well they have told me when I can have Christmas leave anyway but no contract so far, so no start date or finish date. It will be a case of wait, wait, hurry up and start no doubt. Anyway more on that later.

Good to hear from some of the missing chicks. I'd better go get some of this stuff done before it gets too hot.

SHAD...SO GOOD OF "THEM" TO LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY BUT NOT WHEN YOU START! GOOD LUCK!! WILL IT BE FAR AWAY FROM YOUR HOME? WHATEVER WIL DS2 DO WITHOUT HIS CONTRACTOR????? I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU TO SEND SOME HEAT THIS WAY BUT THAT'S JUST TOOOO HOT :fkame: LIKE AFRICA HOT!!

GOD MORNING CHICKS. I CANNOT MEET MY FRIEN FOR BREKKIE. MY EYES ARE ON FIRE. MUST BE ALL THAT ROOTING AROUND IN THE DUSTY CLOSET AND UNDER THE BED. I TOOK THE ZYRTEC WHILE DOING IT.
MAYBE I NEED A BETTER PROTECTION!!

NOTHING IS ON THE AGENDA NOW.
HAPPY TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY

Um, hey all chickies...it is December...who is starting the new thread. I am too blonde to do it.

Worldlies...Don't Do Desserts in December....

Hey Shad...best get your work at home done, hire a wife, cause it is back to work for you sista.

MEL...Next time wear safty goggles when muggling in dust. Silly girl, you should know better when it comes to your delicate eyes. Spank Spank! lol

Hey to all the other chickies..

Love and Hugs

Hi everyone -

Work was CRAZY busy yesterday. I work for a retail corporation, and as such, the weekend (and subsequent week) following Thanksgiving is the busiest time of year for us. In fact, it may very well be insanely busy right through Christmas. (At least that's what I'm hoping. Busy is very good at this time of year, when retailers make the bulk of their money.).

So I didn't get to the gym on Sunday due to a migraine and didn't get there yesterday due to exhaustion. In fact, food was pretty lousy yesterday too.

But, it's December 1, and I'm on the 21-Day Challenge thread, so if I jump back on the wagon and stick to my challenges, I can get an entire round of challenges complete before Christmas, and a second round complete by mid-January...which should see me through the holidays with a loss. BTW, speaking of weight, I am not expecting a good weigh in on Thursday. I'll probably be up by at least a pound or two, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for less.

I've missed out on all the Worldly happenings for the end of November. Time to get caught up.

Happy - I hope your foot surgery went well and that you're not in too much pain. You're doing so well with meal planning and staying within points. Sorry you missed seeing the Space Station. Unfortunately, we missed it too. If you're express shipping chicken noodle soup and homemade bread, send some my way please! Yummy! As for Chicago, we are really looking forward to it. I really enjoyed the Museum of Science and Industry when we went there a couple years ago (not at Christmastime). Don't know if we'll get there this trip....but we'll see. Thanks for the great suggestions.

Mel - We'll be purchasing our tree this week and putting it up this coming weekend. And I'm getting into the Christmas spirit, at least more than I thought I would be. We're not big on tinsel...just because of the doggies get to it and eat it....well, let's just say it can knot them up pretty bad internally. As for snowfall, it's been so lovely here and relatively warm for this time of year (upper 40s), I wouldn't mind having a green Christmas. I haven't had one of those since we moved here from CA 8 years ago. Good that you're picking up extra hours in the office...but DON'T WORK TOO HARD young lady!! And steer clear of the dusty spaces, okay? You should definitely get goggles or something for when you're cleaning and decluttering. I often wear a mask over my mouth and nose when I clean, especially if my asthma starts flaring up.

Shad - Yikes, those hail and wind storms you had were fierce! You are so right that herding penguins is hard work. I can just imagine dogs trying to herd penguins! That's way too funny! DH and I just have to get to Australia and NZ to see the penguins there "in the wild". I hope you find a good woman to be your wife since you're so busy with all the renovation work! Congrats on getting the job!

Laura - So sorry to hear about your mom's fall. I hope she's doing better. Could you please PM me the recipe for the peanut butter dog biscuits? My doggies love peanut butter biscuits. Wow, with your high praise and recommendation of the Museum's Christmas display, we just might have to add that to our list of things to do. We're definitely going to the Christkindlmarket. Thanks for the link!!

Ceejay - I'll try and get a photo of our front yard lit up, since you like Christmas lights. Good for you for doing the Sansome DVD! Pizza might not have been the best way to "reward" your efforts, but I'm sure it was delish!! I LOVE me a good pizza, as opposed to the faux WW or Lean Cuisine pizzas.

Annie - Sorry to hear that the CVS shoppers were so mean and rude. Where's your holiday spirit, people? Sheesh! I hope your mom continues to get better. Sending love and and to you and to her.

Patty - I hope you and Blackie and your family had a great Thanksgiving!

Well, time to get back to the insanity! I'll try and check in later.

Love and big hugs,

As a former blonde sister, let me help you out. Goodbye Mr. Turkey Hello Santa Baby
