Hi there 
Ha ha ha Setina Beline - Noooooooo, I was not recuperating....just getting in some much needed beauty (I wish) sleep. You are soooooo incredible when you put your mind to it. I KNEW you'd have a big loss but this one cuts the cake! NICE GOING!!!!!!!
Only had two drinks and we got there almost 2 hours after it started. I did well by having alot of the rice and then putting mostly veggies on top of it from the sausage and peppers. Had alot of fun but I couldn't sing this year. I'm fighting off something....seems like the flu....I'm losing my voice, have body aches and just plain "don't feel good". BUT!!!!!! Nothing is keeping me from going with my family to get our tree tonight. FINALLY...I get to decorate MY tree. I get paid to decorate peoples trees around here. I really love it and the pay is VERY good. $100.00 per tree from 6-12' tall. Anyway, between that money and the money from riding lessons.....I'll be able to get Bill a gift with my OWN money this year. That's going to be a first.
Tara - Wish I had a sister or sister in law like you. You sound like you truly enjoy the kids. As for being organized for the Holidays....I have to admit that I AM organized or I wouldn't be able to do what I do but there are times when it all catches up to me (and yes, the kids have many things going on so that makes a big difference for me). It was so nice to sleep in today and I'm still in my "PJ'S".
I'm with you on the presents too...heh-heh. Have had mine done for months ..... only thing I don't do is put the ribbon on because it's the red velvet wire ribbon and I don't want it getting "squished".
I'm posting a picture of our cul-de-sac's "lights" on here. There are six homes and we've all gone all out on the lights this year. Can't wait to show you. Since we don't get snow in Florida, we make us for it in other ways. Would you believe my daughter just yelled to me "MOM!!! Can you take Amy and me to the beach in a little while?" ????!!!!!! THIS....in December. After seven years here I'm still now used to THAT!
Hope you all have a great Sunday and I'll "see" you later.
Hugs to you all,
~Pamela~
P.S. - Thought you'd all get a kick out of these:
The best of the worst of ridiculous slogans!
Vets office: "all unattended children given free kitten"
Pizza shop slogan: "7 days without pizza makes one Weak."
At a tire shop in Milwaukee: "Invite us to your next blowout."
Door of a plastic surgeons office: "Hello, can we pick your nose?"
Sign at the psychic's Hotline: "Don't call us, we'll call you."
At a Towing Company: "We don't charge an arm and a leg. We want tows."
Billboard on the side of the road: "Keep your eyes on the road and stop reading these signs."
On an Electricians truck: "Let us remove your shorts."
At an Optometrists Office: "If you don't see what your looking for, you've come to the right place."
On a Taxidermist's window: "We really know our stuff."
In a Podiatrist's office: "Time wounds all heels."
On a fence: "Salesmen Welcome, Dog food is expensive."
Outside a Muffler Shop: "No appointment necessary, we'll hear you coming."
In a Veterinarians waiting room: "Be back in 5 minutes, Sit! Stay!"
Inside a Bowling Alley: "Please be quiet, we need to hear a pin drop."
In a counselors office: "Growing old is mandatory, growing wise is optional."
