:happ3:

I hope you all have a wonderful day with your families tomorrow. I have been busy getting things ready so our day will go smoothly. The more I can do beforehand the more time I can spend relaxing. I baked 3 pies and a cake, prepped the veggies for the dressing, dried and cubed the bread, and got the bird ready to go. Also did some cleaning. DH and I hung 4 pictures and I got out some more accessories. The more I do the more I am wanting to do. :)
If the darn curtain hooks ever come in we can even do curtains.

I have managed to walk 30 minutes every day lately....and it is going to be nice for another week, so I can continue. Need to add more time, but....well, maybe. I haven't been as motivated as I need to be. Still some health related things, but I won't bore you.

Again...have a great turkey day. Count your blessings big and small.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! lol
 
Happy Thanksgiving Eve! :happ3:

I might not get to wish you all a Happy Turkey Day tomorrow, as I'm working and going in early as well! (Double time and a 1/2 + holiday pay!) Cha-Ching! lol.

Katie -- That is exactly why I hate putting away our clothes too. We have a hand-me down crappy dresser that is falling apart and our closet is so small and I've even taken out some of our clothes. OYE! lol. Unfortunately my clothes are not folded yet either. :p They are all clean heaping in the laundry basket. lol. But we are going to put them away tonight. :yikes: Alegebra! Well I think I was better at Alegebra at least than I was at Accounting! I could never balance at the end! lol.

Jane -- I know I just honestly haven't felt up too searching. I did take a peek at Wal-Mart but didn't see anything in my size. I usually let my mil pick out my clothes. I HATE clothes shopping! lol. I did get lucky tonight and found undies for only $3 for a 3 pack! So I bought two for that price! :) Kicking and Screaming has Will Ferrell, Robert Duvall, Mike Ditka and Kate Walsh. Yeah luckily my DH is good at other things to make up for his "crooked" hanging. lol. He is an excellent cook and always helps me around the house, so I'm thankful that he does at least try. :)

Sue -- WTG on the walking! :high: I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving with you and yours as well!

Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a Good Night! lol.

:hug:

Hi Ladies -- Sorry I haven't been on much lately, but just having a very hard time missing my mom, and today is the worst yet.:cry: I've been busy baking and we'll be going over to my older DD and SIL's later, and my sister and her family will also be there. This will be the first Thanksgiving that we haven't been at our house in a few years. I hope all of you have a Wonderful, Safe & Happy Thanksgiving!!!:grouphug: :thanks2: :turkey:

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
 
Happy Thanksgiving!

:thanks1: :thanks2: :happ3: :turkey:

I hope you all are enjoying or have enjoyed your Turkey Day today. So far its been pretty quiet, *knocking on wood*, so hopefully it will stay that way......(at work)

:hug: Michelle, Big :hug: just know we are all here for you. :grouphug:

Marti 11-24-2006 10:34 AM

Good Morning Ladies!

It's only 7:30 and I just got back from town! Who knew I could get up early enough to do some after Thanksgiving shopping??? (I even went to bed around 2:00!) Crazy.

So here I am, hopped up on a latte and happy to have a little something from the trip to town. I really didn't get much, main thing I wanted was a $3.00 toaster! :D

I have to work today so I can't go roaming around too much.....even though I would love to.

Thanksgiving dinner was good. It was at my grandpa's. Most of the family was there.....except my own! (my parents and sister and brother were not.....aunt's, uncles and cousin were)

James & I actually ate one sensible plate worth of food. I have to say, this was the first year that I did not feel "STUFFED" after eating.
Then I did my walk later on in the evening. So far everything is good on the healthy side of me.

Ok.....since I'm up early, I think I may head on into work early to get some hours. (I'm scheduled to leave early today so it would just even out)

Have a great weekend if I don't get back on here to chat!

Marti 11-25-2006 11:43 AM

Good Morning Ladies--

Quiet in here so I'm guessing you're all out doing your Christmas shopping!!......my favorite color is red! :D

I'm going to head out today and do some little shopping for mine & James turkey dinner. He's heading home in an hour which means he'll be home around 5:00 or 6:00. Depending on how quickly the train gets moving.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to travel to Portland for our annual Craftsfair we go to every year. It has over 1000 booths and I just love roaming around the crowded place! And James actually doesn't mind being there either. But not sure if we're going or not. We'll see.

Hope you're all having a great day! Chat w/you all later!

Sassy_Chick 11-25-2006 09:22 PM

Hi ya!
 
Hi Ya!

Wow is quiet in here........I guess you all are wore out from all that shopping? lol. As for me, I've been working and uh working and yup working! So far its been really really slow *knocking on wood here* lol.

Hi Marti! :wave: WTG on the one sensible plate of food on T'giving! Sounds like you had a good time! We are celebrating ours on Monday, since we had to work on T'giving. Hope you have fun at your craftsfair!

Hi to everybody else out there! I hope you all are doing well! :D

:hug:

Jane 11-25-2006 10:53 PM

Hi ladies,

Sue - Aren't you just loving all this warm weather? Not very Christmasy, though. I went shopping today and didn't even need a jacket, but I hear that's all going to change in a few days.

Sassy - thanks for the info on the movie. Hope you're getting some time off, after all those hours at work. You'll love your paycheck, though, right?

Michelle - aww, hon, I know just how you're feeling. I went through the same thing with my mom. :hug: Once you get through the first year's worth of holidays w/o her, it gets easier the next year. I know that's not much consolation for right now, but it's something to think about that will help you later.

Marti - yay for your new toaster. And a super big yay for you not overeating on Turkey Day. :cp: Dinner at your grandpa's sounds like a lot of fun. If you go to the craftfair tomorrow, have a good time.

Hi to Mary Kate, Julie, Cristi and anyone reading this. :wave:

Wow, I can't believe I've been gone for 3 days. Time flies, and all that. I had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner at noon here at my house, then I went to town to visit with my sisters and other relatives. I was back out here for supper, when Terry and his family, and Neal's brother came out. Made for an awfully long day, though, and I was glad to get to bed.

Yesterday and today have been busy, too. We put up the Christmas decorations and I have to say I'm glad that's done.

Have a good Sunday,

Sassy_Chick 11-26-2006 04:54 AM

Morning Ladies!
 
Morning Ladies. :coffee:

Well another night down. Tonight, well I guess technically "Saturday Night/Sunday Morning" was a "normal" shift, so it went by rather quickly ironically since I didn't get one single phone call all night! (work in a call center). Its been really, really slow with the holiday. I just hope its not the "calm before the storm" and that we don't get hit hard tonight (Sunday). I think it could go either way. But I bet without a shadow of a doubt that they will be busy on Monday for sure with people being off on a long weekend and all, they usually forget passwords and all of that stuff.

Jane -- YW on the info, glad to help out. I see a lot of movies so most of the time I can tell you about them if you ask me. Yeah this over time is really beginning to get to me, but Friday into Saturday Morning was the last of it. So I hope that is all for a while. Yes the checks are nice for sure and this next one will be REALLY nice for sure. DH emailled our boss requesting two extra days off. We already requested off Dec. 14 & 15th and are approved for it already and all, but DH said it seemed kinda silly to take off two days, then come back in and work two days and be off three. So he emailled her asking for the 16th & 17th too. Not sure if we'll get them or not, but its worth a shot, at least to ask. If so it will be nice as that would put us off from Dec. 11th and coming back to work on the 21st. With us only working 4 days and only working Thurs - Sunday it works out so if we schedule it right we can have more time off, which is kinda nice.

So we'll see. If we get it off, we aren't sure if we're even going to go anywhere. We may just stay at home and relax and get caught up on some things around here that need done. I kinda miss doing that, with working so much over time we haven't had much time really.

My mother kept trying to get a hold of me but I work and go to bed so I don't get a chance to call her back esp. since I work over time and my shift and all. So I finally called her today and told her I've been pretty much working and sleeping and that is about it. She said she has been doing the same.

Well I guess I've rambled on long enough here. I need some Zzzzzzzzz's! :tired: Although I don't really wanna go to bed yet, but my body is telling me otherwise! lol.

:hug:

suetalks 11-26-2006 03:02 PM

Jane, this weather sure is nice. Really enjoying it, too bad the bottom is going to drop out of it before long. Brrrr.
Hi to everyone...hope you are all having a nice week-end. I have walked every day and plan to ride my bike in a few minutes. DH is getting lots of things done that he had planned for Spring. Now when we get back home he can start right in doing "stuff" in his shop. I actually cleaned my car all out and washed the windows in and out awhile ago. Now I can run it through a wash this week and it will be ready to park for the winter.
The last few days have been great. T day was fun with 10 of us here. I loved having a small group instead of the large number I used to have. I got to talk to everyone more and enjoy myself.
Fri. I mopped all of the floors and scrubbed bathrooms...not really fun, but it had to be done.
Now we are planning a get together for brunch or lunch before we go West...gotta give my "grands" their gifts early again. (Heck, I gotta shop this week for the gifts...lol)
Mom goes to the Dr. in Indy tomorrow so she, myself and DD will take time to eat at Friday's. This has become our routine when we have to go to that Dr.

Okay...I need to go exercise. Ya'll be good while I am gone. Come in and POST!!!

Sassy- Hope you got some ZZZ's.....

jules1216 11-26-2006 03:53 PM

TTY in the morning!!!!!!

:hug:

Jane 11-26-2006 07:31 PM

Hi ladies,

Sassy - hope you get some much needed R & R tonight. Also hoping you and your sweetie get the 16th and 17th off, to make a nice, long mini-vacation for the both of you.

Sue - so will you do some Christmas shopping in Indy for the Grands while you're there tomorrow?

Jules - hiya :wave:

Hello to all you other ladies and lurkers. :)

I have been lazy and slothful the entire day, after church. None of the kids or DGDs came over today, and so Neal and I have been watching movies and goofing off. Actually, after all the hustle and bustle of the last few days, this feels pretty darn good.

How has your weekend been?

Toodles,
