Es,
Your SIL is very brave to do the day-after-Thanksgiving-shopping trip! Last year was the first and last time I'll ever do that
Glad you had a good turkey day.
We're back to doing a grab bag again this year, and I'm relieved. While my entire family doesn't get together on Christmas, there are 13 adults and 7 kids who have done so every year for the last 10 years or so....it got to be very stressful and expensive to purchase for all the adults. We have the grab bag only for those over 18....we all still buy for the kids
That's one of the main reasons I'm almost finished with my shopping, a dozen less gifts to purchase
Ruth,
I don't know about that pole dancing...it's never looked very comfortable!
It's nice that you got to spend time with both of your parents. Sounds like your Mom is a good cook.
Zoe,
This is the hardest time of year to get on the scale, isn't it? I think it's great that you've committed to this and are sticking with it!
Joe and I spent a really lazy day yesterday. Went out to lunch and did a bit of shopping, but no malls. Just Barnes & Noble and Trader Joe's. The plans I had for decorating got tossed out the window, but there's always today and tomorrow. We needed a quiet day together.
HI
Terri, Dianne, Janie, Sandy
