Hey Vicki..... When you get done shopping why don't you drive here in TN and do mine!! I'm so bad! I've got to get my butt out there and SHOP!!!!

Jennelle......Hang in there!! Right after Christmas, I'm right back OP!!!!! I'm going to be giving "butt kicks" and I except to get them too!!! The first of the year..."We'll ALL be OP!!!!"

We're going to some friends house tonight.Tomorrow Debbie & I will be working the Titans game so if I don't post again until Monday.......HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!! And be careful out there shopping!!!!!!

Sherry (Sher-Bear)

Hey Sher, I noticed that you have a George Forman grill on your list. I would strongly suggest a HAMILTON BEACH. Steve bought me one about three years ago and I LOVE it!!! My Mommy has a GF and it seems to be not as large. I have used mine so much that the teflon coating is starting to come off!!

OMG!! My twin grand nieces are the cutest things you ever did see!! I saw them for the first time last night, and will be going over 1st thing this morning. They are 5 months old now. I'll try to attach a picture after we take about 1000 of them!! My brother, his wife, and their kids and grandkids are all going to be at my parents today for a Chanukah party. It should be fun, even if we can't afford many gifts--being together will be nice!! I am giving my other neice (2 year old sister of the 5 month old twins) my kid's Little Tykes dollhouse. It looks brand new and she will love it.

Had a nice time at the Temple Chanukah party last night. All the kids were in a play and we had a dinner afterward.

I haven't done my Christmas shopping yet. I had to get through Chanukah first, then start doing the Christmas thing!! This having 2 separate holidays is hard!!!!

Jennelle-Don't sweat the weight!! Hey, at least you haven't gained!! I haven't been able to stop eating lately. Thank goodness I am able to jog again, or I'd be packing on the lbs. immediately!! Tis the season to eat, eat, eat and enjoy it!!

Vicki-Sounds like you are keeping very busy too!!

Sherry and Debbie- Do you ever STOP????? You girls are the busiest people I know. You work, work, work---must be rolling in the dough!!

Dee-It has warmed back up here again. The high today is to be around 80. I wish it would stay cold!! It's so much easier to jog when it's nice out. Do you bundle up in the minus degree weather? Even at 50 degrees, I start out with a long sleeve shirt then end up tying it on my waist and have my tank top on and sweating.

Well, I need to get busy and start folding and stamping 135 invitations to the Bat Mitzvah that should have been sent out last week! My parents bought the stamps for me, since I didn't have the money. I had to also get postcard stamps for the RSVP. I have the best parents in the world. They make up for EVIL MIL 1000 times over!!

Have a good Sunday!
Love to Everyone!

Enjoy your holiday Shelley!!!! I understand so well what your saying about being broke. It is a weekly struggle to keep the bills paid at times. Then add an unexpected charge and that really wreaks havoc on the budget!!!

Fellow Floozies: I have a deal that you can send to six people with the possibility of getting 36 kitchen towels back. You can even list the colors or patterns desired to match your decor. I need to get them mailed out in the next day or two... if your interested in getting the letter to send out to 6 of your friends, holler so I can send one to you.

HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY!

Hey Dee, I hate to sound like a dense head, but I was just looking at the calender. What exactly is Kwanzaa boxing day in Canada????

Gayle never heard of "kwanzaa boxing day" but we have boxing day. It is the day after christmas when we put out all our boxes from our gifts for the garbage men. It originated many years ago and really doesn't really mean anything except another holiday. We have grand boxing day sales, the best sales of the year. I guess that would be what boxing day is now. Not really an exciting celebration.

Shelley gee i hope that you don't call it bundling up when you put a long sleeve shirt on. lol Oh man you should see the layers that I need to keep warm. i wear ski pants and a sweater under my jacket. I have a neckie and a scarf to keep my neck warm. Then a touque for my head and winter boots with insulated socks to keep the tooties warm. My mitts are for -20 weather. Now you can only imagine how I roll out of the house. I feel like a snowman with all the extra clothes, but that is the only way to keep warm. And when it is really cold I add an extra layer underneath and no visible skin showing. Larry was glad to hear it warmed up because he left for Florida today.

Have a good day. Will report more later.

DEE

I am so sad
Larry's best friend from work was going to florida with him today didn't go. Larry phoned him this morning to ask if he was ready to go. He said to Larry no and that he mustn't have heard. Larry said heard what? Brian said that my baby brother was killed last night. He was hit by a semi truck. Micheal lost control of the car and went into the other lane towards a semi that was heading right at him. He was only 19. When we heard about it I had a feeling that we knew who it was. It happenned about 2 miles from here. I thought maybe Jay went to school with him because they were the same age. They never released his name so we had no idea who it was. My heart felt for the family immediately not even knowing who it was. Christmas is the worst time to lose someone. Micheal was the baby of 8 boys. His father is a surgeon and has to brothers that are doctors. I am sure that when he arrived at the hospital that they did everything possible to save him but just couldn't. Such an unnecessary death. Thanks for listening again to my troubles.

DEE

Dee, so sad to hear of such a tragic loss. I guess we never know when something might happen. We had a similar accident happen a few weeks ago here, the boy hit the semi and died instantly, he was 21. I too feel so sorry for the families, it is hard at any time, but the holidays seem to me that it would be so much harder to handle.
Forget about apologizing to us for listening to your troubles, that is what we are here for, plus you always help anyone out that needs helpful advice.

Dee. ditto on the apologies , we are here for anyone who is in need of an ear. Everyone has heard enough of mine.

You and hubby and friends family is in my prayers.

Good Mornin'

Gayle*****Yes...I want on the mailing list for kitchen towles!! You have my address so just forward me a letter! I think that is a pretty neat idea!!

Shelley*****I'm glad you had a great time at your party!! Well did you get to spoil your grand nieces to death?! I bet they are so cute! Don't forget to post a pic of them! Wayne's niece & nephew (the twins) just turned a year old! They are both so cute and funny!!

Jennelle***** I can't seem to get in the Christmas spirit either! I guess once I START shopping & wrapping maybe I will.Here it is the 9th and I only have 3 gifts bought! About the belley skin: I really don't know what to tell you.Maybe sit-ups would help? I was forunate not to have a big tummy.Unforunately...my weight problems are in my butt & legs!

Vicki*****Are you all ready for Christmas? I bet you are all done now!Next year I will do all my shopping in November!! How many little ones are in your daycare now? What days are you taking off?

Good Morning Floozies!
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
We had a good time at our parties. The National Guard party was really good. Dan got a promotion and they had us come up and do the pinning ceremony.
Sherry, Ben will be here until January 3, 2003.
I am attempting to post a picture. The quality is not very good, but you can get the general idea.

Later,
Ramona
