I just love you guys! So nice to come here and have so many people your age embrace you! I thought I would be too tired to get online in the hospital, but I feel great. They have removed most of my add-ons. I try to stay sitting up all day so I will sleep at night. The only bad this is dh leave around 7 but my roomie's visitors stay till closing and beyond, so I feel uncomfortable having them seeing me lying here with my mouth open snoring away! LOL And how many times will I pull the hospital gown up too high in my sleep! DH was anxious to see how the laptop worked since we just recently got it working on WiFi. He brings it in for a few hours in the afternoon and then takes it back home. Just long enough to answer a few e-mails and check out GG. It sounds like everyone is busy getting ready for the holiday. That's good. I can't wait to go home and wear some normal clothes! LOL I was just sitting here thinking about what I will wear for Christmas.

Oh Carol Sue, sounds like you are ready to go home. So glad things are going well. And, ya, don't we all just love those gowns!

Rie, the therapy is actually really nice, that part of it anyway. The corn cobs are ground up like saw dust and heated (very warm), then they swirl around inside this chamber that you put your hand in. You bury your hand in it and are suppose to move your thumb as best you can, and it really loosens up the joint. They use it for elbows as well. Pretty clever. Then comes the part were you have to gently work on the scar by rubbing, that puts me through the roof, but I am getting better at it. I plan on really working on this at home, so I don't have to continue to go for 2 times a week for 8 weeks. It will be fine, I don't have much of a scar, but I guess there is alot of scar tissue that is preventing me from free movement, so I have to move it around to get rid of it.

Chickadee, like Freda, I am intrigued with the corn cob therapy. Please tell us more. My (somewhat dotty but lovable) autie decided a few years ago that she would be thrifty and use some of the whole dried corn for the "rice bags" that she was making for christmas gifts. Have you ever put dried corn in the microwave? BOOOOOM! It was so funny.... We never told her, the dear lady.

Uh oh Bobbi. Big oops. BUT don't be too hard on yourself! That just happens once in a while! Just keep right on going

Carol Sue, glad your surgery is behind you and you sound like you are anxious to get home. So happy that things went well for you.

Bobbi, don't worry so much about it right now. Enjoy this Holiday Season and know that you have a whole year to take off the few extras that you have gained. Life it too short to worry that much!!

We're still hanging in there waiting to hear whether these people get their financing or not to buy our house. They have until next Wednesday for that. If that goes through then they have until the 28th to get the inspeciton done if they want it. We are planning on saving ourselves a couple hundred dollars and Tim will do our own inspection of the house we are buying. He's pretty smart and has everything needed to do it himself. Realy don't think we will find much to do with the new house anyway. We are hoping to do that this weekend. Once everything gets done and approved we will be busy getting everything packed and arrange for movers to come. Keep your fingers crossed.

Everyone have a good night.

Good morning GG's,

Two days down ~ one to go. Yippee ~ love days off.

I think I will be helping Sara wrap Christmas gifts sometime over the weekend. She doesn't particularly enjoy wrapping ~ I love to wrap, so say ~ bring 'em on.

Saturday evening I am hoping the weather is nice. They have Christmas Carolers at the Waterway. The Waterway is a neat place. There is a sort of a canal type thing with sidewalks on either side. Trees along the way with twinkle lights on them. Benches along the way for sitting if you want to. At the one end there is a fountain and waterfall things. They have colored lights and the fountain does kind of a display/water show and plays music along with it.

Gotta go get ready for work. Hope you all have a nice day.

Take care

Good morning all...Last week on ebay I bought for me a Oreck/Little Hero vaccum. Came and is so cute. Like a oval tub on wheels with a long handle to reach edges. Sucked 10 years worth of German Wire Hair out the baseboard. I have tried everything known to man to achieve this and my Little Hero is my Big Hero. Basically a dust buster with an attitude! My new ladies arrived early and did a bang up job...sighhhh

Dash has new buddy. People are renting the house across the canal and have a Springer. The 2 dogs sit on their seawalls and chat. Dash is singing witha cookie in his mouth. Too funny.

The antibiotic is leaving me stupid, tired and nausated. Just realized that I'll be on it thru entire holiday season. Well I really did want to get rid of this year. So looking forward to a New Year. Finally taped the box to NC shut...kept addng dumb things....that's the black Lil Doc bag for DD. Even added ducktape cause you can fix anything with ducktape. Drew a line on crazy glue.

Drove to Inverness yesterday afternoon to get the GC at Out Backs only to find out they don't open until 5pm. Back again today.

Be back later with personals....k3

I thought that I would put this link on here too. I just thought it was pretty darn cute!!

Marie, so happy to hear that Blizzie is out of surgery and doing good. I love it when they can complain and want to go home!! So happy for you.

Hi everybody. Friday night... yay!!!

Carol Sue, so glad your surgery is over with. Please keep us posted with your progress as you are able.

Rie, thanks for comments on the avatar. I created it a long time ago and fortunately still had it in my computer. There is a story behind it, kind of. When I was looking for a cybername (Misti is not my real name) a friend who knows how much I love the rain said "it's gotta be Misti" -- so I became Misti in Seattle.

Happy weekend everyone.

Good evening GG's,

Yea ~ the weekend off. I was gonna go over to Sara's tonight and help her wrap stuff, but she decided to wait until tomorrow evening. That was ok by me ~ I'm kind of tired anyway. Think I will head to bed early.

Hope you all have a nice evening.'

Take care
