Oh, one more thing. I forget to ask if any of you know how many calories are in a medium sized clementine? You know what I'm talking about. Those little "seedless oranges" that usually come out this time of year and you buy them in a little crate.
If any of you know, post the calorie amount for me so I can fix my journal. I have counted them as 73 calories.

Thanks for your help
Kelly

Kelly, I'm so sorry about your great-grandma. How fortunate you were to have had her for so long. Hugs, sweetie...

Nope... not putting the decorations up until Dec 1st.

Sorry about your great grandma Kelly. It was sad but sweet she passed away on thier anniversary. *hugs*

And definately no Christmas decorations until Dec. If you are really antsy - Nov. 29th - the day after Thanksgiving and Santa in the Macy's parade.

Kelly-Sorry to hear about your Great Grandma, she had a good long life and is now with your Great Grandpa

Kelly,
Sorry about you Great Grandmas passing, but wow what a life she must have had, and the changes she would have lived through, that is incredible. Will be thinking of you especially tomorrow.
Hugs
Virginia

Kelly-hugs to you and your family, it is harder on you guys than it was on her. She has her life back now, no longer a prisioner in an old body. {{{HUGS}}}


Punkin-I just wanted to share this with you. 2 monthes before we moved I found out that our Jack Demseys were not all males. We had 2 "litters" of babies before we moved. We moved them all up here. They were inconvienced in a car for over 12 hours. Then moved to a much smaller tank. We had 2 suckie fish and a catfish in there too. Unfortunately last week when it kept getting down to 7 all week, we found the larger Jack and the humungous Suckie dead. They were used to a tank at an average of 85, even with the heater I could only get it to 70 in the day. (We had to keep them in the shop, not my parents house) My bf was devestated. Well, the tank got ick and all died except the momma Jack (jackie) and the smallest suckie. We brought them inside and put them in a tiny tank we could keep in the bathroom. Well Jackie got mad last night and tried to escape. I went in to go potty and she wasn't in the tank and the lid was off. I found her behind the tank. Well, we have had this happen with our sharks and another Jack a long while ago. BF went and rinsed her off and she was still breathing. She layed on the bottom gulping air for a few hours, but today she is swimming around wonderfully. I don't know how long she was out for. My last Jack who did this survived 3 days after his adventure. Anyways, just wanted to share and I think of you each time I find a new mishap in our tank. I can't believe we went from a 55 gallon tank filled to the brim w/ fish to 2 fish in 2 months! UGH!!! I know you still miss your pirahhana!

Last night I had preparred my children for the casserole that I knew we were gonna have. My SM tried it for lunch and she said it didn't turn out very well, so she put it back in the fridge and we got burritos instead! My family was soooo happy!

We did the inspection on the house yesterday. My dad found a few things that need to be addressed. I will have to decide what to do if they won't budge on their side. The things won't cost me THAT much money. I really like the house, yet, I think they should have some flexibility. {{{FAITH}}} Gotta keep thinking good thoughts.

Well, off I go to think of my thankful list. ~flower

Hey Flower any news on the house yet?

Well, I got the house. I sold mine. My $ should be in my account Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning! I am now waiting for my loan guy to tell me if the loan comittee is granting me the loan for this property. I am on pins and needles. That info should be available on Monday afternoon/Tuesday morning too. Then I need to schedule the apprasial and we can give the tenants their 30 day notice to get out. I feel bad being Christmas and all, but they know it was on the market and they know I made an offer. So, they will probably get out sometime between Xmas and New Years Eve. They don't have a lot of stuff. They just have to replace a few things their dog ruined. (Nothing so bad that I wouldn't want the house). I have a magick/meditation room in this house (A wierd 2nd closet on the north side of the bedroom with a window and no shelves or rods) and I have a craft house in back. I have my own master suite upstairs with a nitche for my computer. BF has his garage to tinker with cars and toys and tools. He can hang all his movie posters up and I will try not to complain. My SM doesn't seem to be bitter that I didn't buy her property. I am so relieved. Now I just have to wait patiently for the holidays to be done with so I can have my own stuff again. Do you know what I miss most? Well, besides eatting my food. I miss my bed. I miss sleeping naked!!!! I hate being tangled all night long! ~flower

Flower, your house sounds PERFECT! I'm so happy for you.

SOUNDS GREAT FLOWER!!!!

Hey, Flower:

Some close friends of ourse just moved from Napa Valley to Dayton, NV. Sounds like it must be close to where you'll be.

I haven't been there, I have been to Carson City, Reno, Tahoe, and LV areas. Good luck!

Whoo hooo Flower! The house sounds perfect! Will keep my until the money is in your account and the last paper is signed!

Cheez-If I could only afford Dayton. I love it there. It is about 40 minutes away. I looked thru the neighborhoods and gosh-they are pretty! That suburb is right outside Carson City.

Thanks for the well wishes. I can not wait to be in it!!! Me and my stuff. It is amazing how much calmer things are when you are surrounded by your memories. I could never live out of a suitcase for a long time!

Well, I am off to Walmart for diapers and then to some garden centers for ideas for my yard. The boys want to know what I want for the holidays. ~flower
