Hi Everyone! 
I also had to be at church last night and we all had a meeting as to what we will be singing for Christmas... I look forward to Christmas - I just love to sing with our little group and bring *Hope & Promise* of the Season to others. I am actually looking forward to Christmas DAY because after church Joe & I will have some quiet time together to exchange gifts and I am making our dinner here AT HOME together this year instead of going to someone else's home - yeah 
We may go later to Joe's sister's for a Dessert gathering, but I love the idea of staying home together this year. We both need it - always on the run somewhere. Besides we never get to have left-over turkey, but we will this year 
! We are all very busy too Mr. Man Good to see you drop in once in awhile --- and YES (!) I am giving you a hard time, I miss you here! I miss you BOTH! 
Sounds like the kids have some real good plans there 
August is a great time of year, just usually HOT here in Ohio and not many weddings for that reason... I am so happy to hear that it's all working out for you and your family! You will have your NEW kitchen by then too - for all to see 
!! I even got the chills from being so tired and had a difficult time warming myself up when it came time for bed & Joe said I was dreaming allot (I do that when I get over tired). Thank goodness for warming blankets! I am glad I went to bed as soon as I got home from church last night at 9:30... I feel pretty good today Dinner last night was really nice. It was at a German restaurant about an hour away and it was very busy but very nice. There were 9 of us at our table, we had some wine or beer, heard some german music/christmas music and then they had this nice buffet. Very good food. I even had desert! It was apple strudel w/this cream sauce..... i couldn't help it. They gave us this christmas tin on the way out and it had candies in it. Unfortunately i ate a few before bed and woke up with a sugar headache, that kind of turned into a migraine, i finally took my medicine awhile ago and it's better now. Have PT tonight and then much to do at home tonight. This week is really kicking me in the fanny......
) but my fun flannels or sweats...fun! If I can get most of my shopping done tomorrow night, I will be able to wake up Sat. a.m. and do that until afternoon. DH is in the UP hunting this weekend (muzzle loading). 
). I think I got sick because I have been so very busy with all that I had to get done. I am glad to be feeling better --- Joe & I have a very busy day scheduled today. First off... we are meeting with our friends for breakfast and then hitting the grocery store together. Then we are all meeting for the first showing of *The Polar Express* and after the movie shopping at the Sam's Club. Then we'll more then likely catch a few more stores for Christmas and Dinner out together. It's so much more fun when you go with your friends 
I just hope that I don't relapse I get allot done too --- I think because I am comfy. I even keep a sweatshirt type coat on my coat hook just in case someone stops over 
just because I am comfy, doesn't mean that I need to shock anyone That must be the hardest part of Christmas for me - getting all the goodies that I cannot eat any longer. But Joe can, so I'll just freeze anything I can for him and add it to his lunches... he can use to gain a couple pounds I do hope we get some snow by Christmas, but not too much today! We have so much running around to do and don't need the added stress of tons of snow But we sure would like some Christmas Not asking much I too cannot sleep in my comfy jammies... but do have ones for sleeping in OR I just take off the bottoms sleeping only in the tops, that works for me too. I must have 7 - 8 pr jammies and have them on my Christmas list too There are some great silky ones on the outside with flannel on the inside at Sears in beautiful pastel colors --- on my wish list to my hubby 
I will have to live though other's as they enjoy all the fun foods this year Good and Bad ---> I won't gain weight, but I also don't get to enjoy the bet part at parties... oh well, I just keep telling myself that it's better to feel healthy. I am so glad that you are having such a good time! You have a very *Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year* too and DO COME BACK after the holiday's - would you!!!!! {{{Hugs for you!}}} Feel better!!!! I care very much! So when you get a moment - do stop in and just let me know - us know - that you are doing well 
* (Kind of)
!! Gotta be careful with what I wish for We are expecting 6" by Tuesday morning and already have 2" on the ground. Joe is taking the day off on Wednesday and we have another full day! So we hope the weather will ease up some by then. We are going to visit his sister, RoseMary & her hubby Ray, who is moving back to California and will be leaving this Friday. And then when we leave them we'll go finish up some more Christmas shopping. Wednesday evening... Joe & Mike are getting together to shop for us ladies Also... we have Joe's Family Christmas Party this coming Saturday (12-18) to go to and Joe's work party to go to that day too. Another *Whew* day! Twila was *dune in* with the swearing she did using her son's name too. Chris wasn't found out about till well after the game was done, they were still pretty clueless even at the time of voting what he was up to with playing them... what he did was play the game! And that is hard for women to do --- they get very emotionally caught up. I was glad to see He won! He played a good game & that's is what the show is about. And he really worked those ladies!! Impressive (!) I thought... I just wish that somone from the ladies would have caught on sooner and played the game too. I think that Scout (out of all the women) had Chris pegged all along but was very quiet about it... too quiet! Chris from Ohio you know - works for ODOT... and is a biker (note the pony-tail --- yuk!) I don't mind at all that he enjoys motorcycles, but I dont like pony-tails on men (just me ). He said the first thing he was going to purchase was a new motorcycle (knew that) and then donate $$ to kids in need & then help out his family financially and he & his girl are planning for their wedding. Always a interesting show... 
SunnyD I am just so happy for you!! 
As I tell you... I also am reminding myself of that! 
Don't do what I did & get sick! It doesn't help that the weather is so cold and cloudy either --- women are very senitive to the changes in weather. Getting that sleep is very important - good for you!!! To make matters worse I am off work today so it's MY JOB to clean up in the house.......bummer. A few years back I could have!!
