Francie - sorry about Sassy, I don't think I could leave if my kitty was sick. I love my momo.....almost as much as *she says in a whisper*my real kids. anyway, hope Sassy & Stormee will be ok.

Cristina - just waiting for the turkey now, another 90 minutes should do it.....after that I am taking a nap. Think I will send Gaby w / the ex to his family while I rest for the evening drive home.
I would leave Gaby here for the weekend but her father freaks out that he needs his time w/ her..*eyes roll* whatever, next weekend will be my time so I will come back into town. Cambrie is such a cutie!!!!

So, I did make the visit to my father, the main entrance was closed so I had to go to another one and back track. The place is huge and I was all turned around , how annoying. After that I went across the street and placed some flowers on my nephews site, so that was sad. It makes me feel better doing it though, I don't want them forgotten.

Beck is still at her friends house and I went and got Rach.....so, after I eat and get my second wind I will try and get over to my mothers.

so, that is my update

Hiya...

Susan...aww, they will never be forgotten. As long as we have our memories they will always be just a thought away, and always in our hearts. Glad you were able to make it there to leave flowers though.

I am pooped! thinking I am not cooking on Christmas Eve...too much work and I am really getting tired of doing it all myself. Thinking of just getting a bunch of stuff and if no one wants it whatever, lol. Anywho...

Hoping everyone had a wonderful day! Thanksgiving hugs to all

man, you ladies left me a lot to catch up on!

we have been crazy busy around here.....and I am hoping to be able to sit back, relax, put up some decorations, and just enjoy the time!

I ended up not making the cookies the other day, but I think I might make some cookies on Friday. Tommy said that he was going to make some chocolate chip cookies on Friday as well......so we shall see who out powers who to make which one first! LMBO

Thanksgiving went well here.......it wasn't as crazy as I thought it was going to be. The kids all eat.......the boys loved their cranberry stuff that my BIL brought. (me and Tommy don't eat it, and since my BIL likes it, we tell him that that is what he can bring and he does) My MIL brought a mince meat pie and a pumpkin pie. Thankfully I don't like either one, so I didn't get tempted there.. BUT Tommy bought me some cookies n cream ice cream for my dessert. (I sent him out to the store at 12:30 Friday morning to get some milk........and good thing I did.......he tried to start the instant mashed potatoes and instant sweet potatoes and for some reason the milk was burning. but then again, for some reason, when he makes them, he always burns the milk some how)

sorry for not doing personals, but I am really tired, so I am thinking about heading to bed when I get done on here!

popping back in to check on every one......

I hope that those of you that might have ventured out today make it home safe and sound!

nothing major for us......just hanging around the house. Tommy and Brandon went to my in-law's house to pick up our Christmas stuff.

Happy Black Friday!!

Turkey Day went very well. Only 5 to feed and plenty of leftovers to send home with everyone. Then it was off with the crazies to shop this morning. We didn't hit the stores till about 8, which is late for us but there was nothing that we were desperate to have. Went to Penny's first and made out like bandits. I wanted to get Justin and his bride a down comforter that was 60% off and then another 10%. It should have been $79.99 but somehow when I looked at my receipt (with the dozen or so other things that I bought), I was only charged $29.99 I picked up some tops for me and a nightgown then off to Sears to buy dh a mitre saw. I want him to do some molding in our foyer and somehow his old saw disappeared. We then went to Target, Best Buy, Walmart and Macy's. After shopping for 8 hr, I'm too tired to put the stuff away Just heating up leftovers for dinner. Tomorrow, I'll probably start Christmas decorating and do some on-line shopping. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hello ladies...

Forgot yesterday...someone mentioned the wallpaper in the house...it definitely isn't anything I would want to keep on the walls. I think we would leave the stuff in the kitchen because it's not so bad...with the right colors added it would look decent and I could live with it for a while. But the other rooms, yuck, yuck and double yuck! Lol Just not a wallpaper person, and it's not any of the velvety stuff. Anyway...thinking we are putting an offer on it next week...can't remember if I said that or not...losing my mind!

MINDEE...dueling cookie makers/bakers eh? Let us know who wins, lol. Glad you guys had a nice Thanksgiving at your house.

TAMMY...you are much braver than me lady. I would never attempt to venture out on black Friday. I did once...many, many years ago. For once this year I am almost done...I have two things to get and that's it. Had more people to buy for this year so found some kids stuff back in July or August and grabbed it. Anyway...good deal on the comforter...can't beat that price anywhere that I know of. And I definitely think you got in a workout with the 8 hours of shopping!

SUSAN...hoping you are home safely.

HIYA KATY, JULES, SASSY, KRISTI, SUE, KATHY, ASIA, and anyone I missed.

FRANCIE...how are your kitties doing? Is Sassy okay? Our doggy went thru having seizures a few years ago and that just killed me to see. Lots of hugs to you missy.

Well, I have been bumming all day...still in my jammies, lol. Woke up with a headache and it is just finally going away...so much for Aleve. Going to attempt to get some Christmas cards done, lol. I can't believe what a slacker I have been...this is the first year that I have not gotten my cards ready before Thanksgiving! Guess there's a first time for everything.

Take care ladies, and hope everyone is having a good day/evening/weekend!

Hola All.

You all that went out today shopping were very brave!! Dunno if anybody saw the article about the deaths that happened today?? Black Friday Deaths.

My Friend was also out in that mess, but she was lucky and had no problems. She even called me at like 6 am. lol. I had been up about an hr by that point anyways. lol. She got a lot of good deals.

I used to work in that mess so I have absolutely no desire to go out in it. People are insane! lol. Well some are. Can't say all are. lol.

Anyways I am just like Cristina. Been bumming all day long. DH is working (will be off soon) so I have been in my jammies watchin' tv or movies. I also woke up with a headache, Cristina!! lol. It finally did go away. Then I went and lied down about 6 pm. I figured I would sleep about an hour or two? PFFFTT!! 4 hrs later I wake up!!! Geeezz! Guess I was tired. lol.

So I took my shower changed into different jammies (lol!!) and DH and I are gonna order in tonight. We were going to go to the store after he got off of work but I just do not feel like it. So maybe we will go out tomorrow.

Francie, big hon. I remember when our Puddy was so ill in Kidney Failure, it absolutely broke my heart. I so hope that your dear sweet Sassy is ok.

Misery is on tv. lol. I love that movie, but the book was so much better, but I so love Kathy Bates.

Well take care everybody!!!
