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
or 
depending on which side of the hemisphere you call home - and we have a new thread (courtesy of Miss Shad).
