I miss our Wabbit

i can't imagine when wabby would ever want to post here again,but i hope she knows how much we love and miss her. it really is lonely here without her . the snow started again today and ruined my SALES!!!! friday is usually one of my best days of the week----that makes me MAD!!!!!----hopefully it will be okay tomorrow cause if i don't have a good Christmas Season,i will feel like quitting-----january until tourist season is SOOOOOOOOOOOOo depressing !!! my house is not decorated and i have no presents bought----CRAP!!!

I hope Wabby is able to lurk here and see how much we care and miss her...

I haven't decorated this year yet either. It's been very scaled back since I started grad school. The only thing out right now is the candle pyramid, which we never put away last year.

I have had only one meal this week, and lots of coffee, and I have gained weight!!! How does that happen? It's not deliberate... just no time to eat and no interest.

Hi Kids! I'm Christmas shopping. It's taking me days and days just to get started. Also it hurts and not just in the pocketbook. I don't know how anyone lives with chronic pain. If I didn't think this was going to clear up one of these days/weeks, they would have to lock me up in a rubber room.

We had such a good time in Boston Thursday night, did I tell you? No, probably not, but I'm not sure what I have done and what I haven't the past few days. Oh right, I posted before I left. Here, I'll just copy what I wrote my mom after I got home:

Quote:

Just got up after driving all night, literally. I drove down to Tufts to see (DD) in her dance class's Open House. I stopped in Portland to pick up (DDbf), and he drove that stretch of the trip (we took his car and left mine at his school; his is better on gas anyway).

We had such a nice time, took (DD) out to a nearby Japanese sushi restaurant before the class. She had been real sick the night before, a high fever -- so I wasn't sure if she'd be up for all this, but she was feeling much better.

The class was fascinating. There were about a dozen girls, all with these jingly bells wrapped around their ankles -- hundreds of bells! Their teacher explained what they have been working on in class and several of the girls (including DD ) introduced the different dances or exercises to explain their origin or how it was done. It was great! And the dancing was quite beautiful and fun, with all the jingling they could do with their feet in addition to spins and hand movements and some chants. (DD) was lovely of course! Dancing always makes her feel good, so she actually felt better afterwards than before the class.

After, she and (DDbf) and I sat around in her dorm for a little while and then headed back north. Unfortunately it started snowing when we hit Maine, and the section I had to drive by myself from Portland home was just awful. It didn't seem that bad until I'd gotten into it a while and you couldn't see anything and the road started to get a little covered. I went from driving 55 to 45 to 40........I kept debating stopping, but I wasn't really tired, so I figured I'd drive and maybe it would stop at some point. It never stopped! It took me until 6:30 this morning to get home. Blah, blah and double blah.

That's all the news that's fit to print. Do I have all of your mailing addresses? Don't get the idea that I am sending you anything, but you know :shrug: just in case...

Later gators

If you haven't yet -- go visit Sugs blog... there's a recording of our little German Schnitzel..Her voice is hypnotizing, lilting and just musicial.. !

Things to know about Dollar Stores

For some of you the thought of a "EVERYTHING FOR A DOLLAR " store may be a bizarre concept, but here in North Carolina- no strip mall, no supercenter, no town is complete without a "dollar store". Tsk Tsk, no :snooty: These stores sell things that are fairly the same as you would purchase in a higher end store - like, er, Kmart, Walmart for Much Much More!!

For the last 3 years I've sent Xmas cards--WHY? I have no idea, since in all my life I was the person you could count on to Never get one.. Soooos anyway, I go to the Dollar Store and get a box of 15 for YES a DOLLAR!! :woohoo:

I get out my fancy calligraphy pen and write well wishes which bleed through the back .

I stuff the card into the envelope..and the card DOES NOT FIT!!!!. I attempt all different ways to stuff and nonono - it crimples - it buckles - and dents..It does not FIT (freekin dollar store :tantrum:)
DH is amused. Mr. engineer figgures out that if I stuff the card backwards, and crease first- the card will fit. I try to follow the rules, but this hurts my brain.

I dislike him for this finding.

So:
You may get a card, handle it with care as it is cheap and has gone through the postal system.

You may not get a card, as it is cheap and went through the postal system .

I've posted 3 times in the last 3 hours and edited countless of times to get my fonts right... Can you tell I'm bored :yawn:

You're cracking me up, Schatzi. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how on earth you get a card to fit into an envelope that's too small. Is it anything like sitting on a suitcase to make it latch?

Yes, Bagz, it was great. What a cool dance class that was. I'm jealous!

DDbf is indeed a real sweetheart. He and DD deserve each other. You know, in a good way.

I have spent the entire day on the puter, except for when I was cooking fattening food for dinner. I needed meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I ate it and I'm glad. Except for when I get back on the puter and happen to see photos of myself. Then I'm mad. Yuk. You should see the horrible video DH took the other week of me and Jet at the flyball class. It's not ever going into cyberspace, sorry folks. Too horrible. Jet looks wild and cute of course.

Nightynight

I could listen to that voice all day and all night. Sugar should record bedtime stories for us. Such a sweet musical voice. I wonder if the Sugarboys sound like that. Bagz doesn't. I think Bagz is heavier on the a-boot. Didn't Sugar call that the "b" word? Doesn't it begin with "a"? Did I get confused?

I have Christmas shopped and if it's delivered by the mailman, FedX man, UPS man (or woman) in a timely manner, I'll be in good shape.

I found these cute, unusual pens and decided to buy ds and lcp three each. They were different prices and the total was something like $12. With shipping, the total was $44. Eek. This was through Amazon and Amazon's email said I had to contact the seller directly to make changes, only had 30 minutes to do it, and they provided to email address for him. So I hunted him down on ebay, pretended I was interested in something he was selling there, left him a message about it that really explained I needed to cancel the Amazon order. Amazon doesn't do these things lickety split but he finally got the order, I got billed and he refunded. It was a LOT of WORK. I looked at all the shipping prices but somehow missed that one.

I liked these a lot.

Also, I want to point out to Shotsy that I know Dollar Stores and a bottle of Clorox costs ONE DOLLAR there whereas at WalMart it's NINETY NINE CENTS. Shop carefully.

Also, Walmart cards (and NO .. Kiwi .. I swear I do not shop there unless there is no alternative) will probably come with envelopes that fit.

What does "flame" mean as in email flaming?

i make my own cards and slice and dice them to fit------------WHAT DO YOU MEAN I SAY ABOOOOT-=-----I SAY A ---BOUT!!!!!----LIKE THE WORD "OUT"---WHERE THE **** DID THIS ABOOT NONSENSE COME FROM====== i heard sugar's voice and it's as beautiful as everyone has noted-----also, i think "canadians" talk like the people on TV---what kind of accent is that---a HOLLYWOOD accent???? i am going to find that program talk all abOUT myself!!!

Here is a flame:

Those are the ugliest boots I've ever seen. Are you crazy?

Of course I would never talk like that. Those look very warm.

I have wasted so much time online lately, it's disgusting. I'm astonished at how long it's taking me to do anything. I ordered personallized postage stamps for a bunch of people; that was fun. Zazzle.com -- at least that website worked right and was fun to use. Amazon and tracfone; they were not fun.

I need a shower. bye
