I've been having weird things happen as I type -- multiple letters jump, sometimes I can't highlight, cut and paste, and when I would play solitaire my cards would jump around when I would click on them. 
I was wondering about my mouse since it is my original one, and Bob surprised me with a new wireless RED one. It's a speedy little devil! 
"Gma" -- I haven't given Christmas a thought yet.
You are a smart lady to be done and have things wrapped. I am jealous! I just ordered Ian's birthday gifts online and hope they get here by next weekend since we are doing his birthday early. He gave me a list for his birthday and Christmas . . . I hope he's not disappointed he isn't getting a kitten (they already have 3 cats) nor 2 $100 bills! I always buy clothes of some sort and know kids don't appreciate them like the adults do. The kids are growing so fast; all of them have high water jeans since school began! The toys get more expensive as the kids get older too. The smore tarts sound like a fun project to make with the boys. 
I have to iron Bob's shirt for tomorrow so guess I will go do that. I am tired and know if I sit down I will fall asleep and I don't want to do that.
Enjoy your day tomorrow; I probably won't get here until evening.
GOOD AFTERNOON MAGNOLIAS 
It's been a long day. We both commented that we didn't like waiting around to go to second service at 11. There weren't many people there and I was surprised because they usually have more than the first service. After church we headed for Sioux City; Bob dropped me off at Beth's and went to the mall. After the Pampered Chef party I needed to go back to Penneys to get Ian some clothes for his birthday. Maddy asked to go along so of course, Kolby wanted to go too. They were having a mega sale but we were able to go in, find what I wanted, and get out in short order. Bob said that was the fastest shopping trip in history! LOL There were clothes laying on the floor, draped over racks, left in the wrong areas, it was a mess! 
The poor clerk at the check out said she was glad she wasn't working tomorrow! We went back to Beth's for chili and then headed home. There's almost a full moon tonight but I don't like it being dark early. 
My new mouse is working perfectly. 
I didn't realize how bad the old one was until I got the new one. Your supper sounds better than my chili was!
I am going to finish sorting my glass today and do hope my order arrives for I am itching to build. We just may have some guests to share our Thanksgiving dinner ~ we'll see. Couple of our friends don't have wives here and we have invited them. Our plan is to smoke a couple breasts and then have the traditional fixins and enjoy each others company. And if they don't come then Will and I will enjoy each others company and freeze meals for later with the left overs. For Christmas we will probably go to I-Hop like we did last year. They put on a nice dinner then and I didn't have to cook. But I like to cook.
Coming this Thursday we are going to the dinner, that I printed out the tickets for, honoring the wounded veterans. I also designed and printed out a 8 x 11 certificate to give to one of the men in the community that has been doing lots of work for the veterans cause. It ended up the ticket sellers did hand out most of the 1000 flyers I made. They were half size so only took one ream of paper. I was wondering if that was an excess number when I was printing them. A thousand she said! Then after I had made them she wondered if she had asked for too many. 
Down a pound is great. Moving in the right direction for sure. I like your striped hat. Red and white. You will be stilin' for sure. Kids crack me up with what they ask for Christmas. Sounds like your family has a good handle on it. Some folks pay so much more than they can really afford this time of the year. When our kids were young we budgeted all year and had X number to spend (Christmas fund) and did not go into debt at the end of the year. I knew folks that took the whole year to get back to exact then they would do it again come the next Christmas. A vicious cycle. One Christmas when I was a child stick out to me with a great memory. I was 4 years old and not in kindergarten yet so I was home with my mother. I had two older sisters that went to school. My mother was sewing a couple dolls that were 3 feet tall with clothes and shoes. They wore size 2 clothing. They had embroderied faces and braided yarn hair. I just knew my two sisters were going to be happy getting them. It was my mothers and my secret and not a peep did I let out about the dolls. Come Christmas morning I got the shock of my young life for one of those dolls had my name on it. They were for me and my sister that was 2 years older than me. My other sister was 5 years older than me and I don't remember what her main present was but it was something she liked I'm sure. 
on losing another pesky pound! 
hoping my glass order arrives this day. Type at y'all later. 
do you still write everything down? I need to buy some new sweatshirts and jeans! Mine are getting the "well worn" look after two years of retirement wear. 
Nelda had some of her staples removed and she/we go back to the doctor next Tuesday. We are happy to help her! She and Bob have worked together for 30 years so feel rather like family when she needs help. I know I wouldn't want to live alone without any family close by. I hope your glass order arrives so you can keep busy.
