Good morning chickies,
One last day of a vacation that zoomed by way too quickly with a pile of things yet undone. Soon I will join Ceejay in the chant of the employed "I doan wanna be here wahhhhh"
Yes of course, it is all relative - if you have a job you would rather be home and if you're home you'd rather be working. I think we should get a week off every three months over and beyond regular vacation - just for women cuz we have so much to catch up on.
I am doing a deep cleaning of each room and as I get done, I am decorating. I think, like last year, I may just put up a few pieces in each room instead of pulling everything out. Besides, that's 3 floors of stairs to get all the way to the attic/store room and the last set of stairs is narrow and a killer. I am debating about getting the cards done today - sure would be nice to get them done...
Mel - that certainly is a nice looking wreath. But where do you get 10,000 baggies to do it?
It is so nice of you to think of projects to keep everyone busy. And what a nice Christmas project - do they chide each other like children - My wreath is MUCH prettier than theirs"
We might be getting a few snowflakes ourselves tomorrow morning. I will enjoy them on the way to work and then like you, okay - been there, seen that - that's enough, ok?
Ceejay - glad you enjoyed the concert. I'll bet Andy still looks great. Gee he's just a bit younger than my Mom. How did everyone (but us) get old so quickly?
Annie - I am right there with you when it comes to blessings showing up when you absolutely need it. Seen it myself. Yay for your good fortune - twice
Now I hope you will get at least one paycheck before Christmas. We get paid once a month which is archaic. Enjoy your week off, now that the stress of finding a job is over, you can really relax. Get enough sleep so that you don't fall asleep on the road
I find that night driving when it snows is the absolute worst. The snow can be dazzling and hypnotic.
Carla - I love your avatar. We know you don't REALLY hate penquins
Got your postcard yesterday - thanks so much, that was sooo sweet
Michelle you busy bee, thanks for checking it. Glad your holiday was nice. We'll save you a seat for when you get back
Shad - I figured turkey day was over and time to switch avatars. In deferrance to you, I opted for an interim non holiday one until at least we got into December
I know you are a good planner financially, but still hope the ax does not swing your way this week. You're right tho about others being caught by surprise. The one time I was laid off, they did it on December 13 the dirty dogs.
Fingers crossed for you
Madcat and her cute Christmas kitty! Welcome back. Every time I fall off the wagon it hits home a little harder why STAYING on the wagon is a much better choice and the climb back on is also a smidge more difficult. Not that we are perfect here but we can at least reach an hand out and give you a hoist back up...
Ruth - hope the pagent went well. Have fun with Bailey and the pups.
Time for me to get on with what's left of the day. See yah later
