Morning, Chickies!
It's snowing here! Just a 1/4 inch or so, but everything's draped in white. So pretty!
I can say that with confidence because it's supposed to rise to 50 and rain tomorrow.
Ruth, I hope that Hersh is okay!
It's awful that she's dealing with this! Hugs to her and you and prayers that all is okay!
Mamacita, big hugs for you!
This time of year is hard for anyone who has lost a loved one, but doubly hard when you lost them at this time. My grandmother died on Christmas Eve in 1985, and nearly twenty years later, I still miss her terribly. I like the suggestion of your getting some candy for the fam, and I bet your dad would too.
Bamie, great suggestion! Hope you have a relaxing day!

Boston, the recipes sound sublime! Can you share them on the recipe forum?
Ellis, hope you had a great shrink visit. I missed my appt. last week. Oy! What a time of year to forget to see the shrink!
A Broad, I know I saw Laughing Cow cheese in the cheese shops in Bonn and Heidelberg. Except there it was called by its French name...something like Le Vait Qui Ries (terrible spelling of my incorrect pronunciation!
). It literaly translates to "The Cow That Laughs". Anyways, maybe you can find some in a little cheese shop. BTW, we had walnuss kase while in Germany and LOVED it. Do you happen to know what kind of cheese it is?
Anchor, aren't you proud of yourself?
Good for you!
I love Ruby Tuesday's...we have one right near us.
It's like SBD heaven!
I would really like the recipe for the nuts...we had roasted nuts with cinnamon in Germany and they were fabulous!
Me:
Well, I'm over
100 pounds down!
Very awesome! It is so nice to know that I only have about 40 lbs to go. That sounds manageable!
: I went to Victoria's Secret, got measured, and bough four bras..two sensible, one with a plunging front so I can wear this delicious red silk sweater I got at the consignment store (
), and one frilly lace one with beads and sequins (with matching panties). It was so much fun!
Went to a nice craft fair nearby to finish up our Christmas shopping, and I spent the rest of the day running around in our shopping area to get the rest. It was nice, but hectic, too. Still, I got everything done. I finally decided, after much debate, to make my mom a red hat for Christmas and give her the information on the red hat society. I even found a cute hatbox that is lavender with a red hat on top for $9.73 (originally $40.00!) to put the hat in. I worked on it last night and it turned out pretty well!
Now there is tons of wrapping to do and cards to send, food to make, etc. I still have two projects to do for school, but I may put them off a bit until next weekend so I can get a head start on decorating and card writing. I try to do about 20 a night so I don't get a hand cramp! We send about 150 with a Christmas letter.
Hope all is well with everyone and that you are finding time to enjoy this holiday season!!!
