I was jazzed at WW today ~ showed a loss of 3.2 which is great! for me for this time of the year particullary. I won the drawing for the white baseball cap that has Weight Watchers embrodried on it. I put it in a plastic bag with the T shirt I had won earlier. I am saving them to wear to WW when I reach goal. I'll wear a pair of jeans of course ~ not brave enough to wear the T shirt alone.

It is raining here ~ I love the pitter patter of the rain on the roof. Good to be inside where it is nice and warm and cozy. I can sit here and see the colored lights outside and my little 3 building village and glass Christmas tree all lit up to my left. Life is good! Thanks to all of you for the Anniversary wishes. We have had a great marriage and are still best of friends.

JEAN I think it was a wise move for you not to venture out on those slick roads ~ don't want to end up with your car in a ditch for sure. When are you off for Christmas vacation?

FAYE Yikes ~ B weighs 23#'s and I thought Ragg Mopp was heavy at 14#'s. Your new project looks neat. I like the idea of having the fuzzy yarn on it. Show us a picture when it is all finished please.

SUSAN Bread bowls are so great to serve chli in especially. I like them for clam chowder also. Have a good Christmas and be safe.

Everyone have a wonderful Holiday.

Good Evening, Flowers! I think I am done at school for the semester. I read the last two final exams this morning and then sat around and read magazines after lunch. Finally, about 2:00, the other aide came in and asked if I would leave with her since we were finished, so I did! I never did hear back from the email I sent to the principal asking if I need to be there tomorrow. I'm done as far as I'm concerned.

"Gma" -- The principal has been interviewing for different jobs for several years and no one else wants him. He wants to go to a neighboring state so that he can collect his early retirement from IPERS. I only spend enough time in the office to check my mail box and say hello to the secretaries. I'm afraid I might get myself in trouble if I told either one of the men exactly what I thought of them! Morale is at an all time low and I'm not the only one who feels that way.

Maggie -- Where did you find your cute graphic characters? The ice never happened but we did get quite a bit of rain and the fog rolled in around noon today. It's not cold, but it's sure not nice weather either. I am officially on "vacation" although I won't feel like it until Tuesday!

Susan -- You won't see this until next week, but I hope you and Stan have a nice Christmas!

I've been wrapping again this evening and had to come upstairs for more boxes. Just couldn't resist peeking in to say "hi."

Hope you all have a fantastic Friday! I've got some errands to run and need to make a grocery list.

Jean -- in Iowa!

We just finished watching a DVD and I decided to check my e-mail and found that you posted so here I am again.

Good morning ladies! I hope all you worker bees are enjoying your first day of Christmas vacation and the rest of us are all happy!

Maggie: I have a smiley central and it won't decipher the computer language and post mine. I don't know what I am doing wrong. BTW, and the losses! You will have those lbs gone in nothing flat!

Jean: Enjoy your time off. Your stupid prinicipal must not have applied here because all we have is leftovers and they are all dumb so he could surely get a job here! We have to be one of THE worst school systems.

I finished another project. Actually, I just started it yesterday and finished it, felting and all last evening. It is a funky little hat for my red hat luncheons. Not gorgeous on me, but I needed something other than my visor for the January lunch. I am going to look at some other patterns and see what I can find because I have more yarn.

My sister called last night and loved her birthday presents. She really loved the shawl and I am so glad. Her nephew (her dh's nephew) is getting married next month so she is going to wear it to the wedding. That pleases me that she liked it because that is why I do it. I truly enjoy and really get a kick out of making stuff for other people.

We are supposed to shampoo carpeting today, but it is so wet outside that I don't know if we should or not. It won't dry and I don't want the furniture left in the downstairs hallway all weekend.

We had a real thunder boomer last night. I hear that the fog Jean got stretched completely across the country and into England!

Well, gals, I need to get some chores done this morning and start on cookies to take to the casino for Thomas. Have a wonderful day and if I don't get back in here, have a truly marvelous Christmas!!!!!

GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIAS

AY that hat is georgeous. You totally have me amazed at how quickly you can knit those items. I vote no to cleaning you carpet. Wet weather isn't a good time for that activity

his is the first day of winter and the fog is here. It was colder and now it has warmed up a bit so here we are with fog across the nation.

I am sitting here sipping a nice hot cup of coffee and enjoying my little glass village all lit up and festive. I love this time of year. Ya'all stay warm and cozy this first day of winter time sure flys when you are having a good time. Winter already.

Have a good day everyone and I'll be back another time.
