have a wonderful day!
I do have pictures from 1974. mostly of me running from that psycho Pinocchio...
Thanks Mo - I hope you have a great one too!
LOL I love Pinocchio! He is so cute!
Well, I'm trying to be good. And it is tough. Sticking to 2.5 cups of coffee is like torture. But I found a source for cranberry/almond/apple salads. Yum.
I've managed to get myself down to 1 cup of coffee/day... Then on Sundays (but sometimes, I do Saturday instead) - I allow myself 2 cups.
That salad sounds delicious!
Well, think of all the extra time you're having in your sewing room as making up for all those times you don't have enough.
Hahaha... So true!
Thank you! I hope yours was good, as well.
Oh - and if your auction bag WAS Maximus, I might have had to scrounge a few dollars to put in the paypal account and bid.
Hahaha... I will have to keep Maximus as an idea in the back of my head... The girls and I just LOVE him - he is very MM like.
You were a busy girl and got a lot done...good for you. I was able to catch up on all of my threads and do two updates to my PTR...I felt quite accomplished.
I've never seen Jack Frost. Perhaps Mark and I should rent that this weekend.
Yay! I saw that Kathy! I stopped by there this morning.
Yah - Jack Frost is a very sad movie... Makes me cry all the time. It is not one of my favorite movies due to that.
Just getting over here today. You sure were productive. I have an order that must get done this week and I have been slacking. It has been rough here.
I love the auction bag. I hope it goes for big money.
Oh Chiara - I sure hope things get better for you, and you are able to get through your order. I know I have a hard time concentrating when the holidays are just around the corner.
Got to keep it up because I'm so afraid if I don't I'll just give up.
We're excited to try it and see it. We honeymooned in New Orleans for a few days before going on a cruise so in a way by going to visit FQ it'll be like we're reliving it (just with 4 kids this time instead of 2 very good friends who met us there.
) hummm maybe I can get them to join us in WDW for a few days.
Good for you! Enjoy it if you do!
Yeah for getting so much done. Hope today's shift went fast.
Yes - FQ is just beautiful... I just love being there. However, when we were there in Aug - I didn't feel like we were able to enjoy it as much as we had the previous trip... It was just too hot to spend any more time than necessary outside - which makes me sad. We really did hop from building to building, staying in the air as much as possible.
You will do great on Thanksgiving - I just know it.
**********************************************************
First off... I want to apologize... This week has been so crazy with Josh home for classes. I am slowly falling WAAAAAY behind on TRs/PTRs I am following. I want you all to know I will be catching up - but not until after the weekend. I will try to do some catching up later this morning from the laptop. As it is, I have been getting up at 4:30 every morning... I have to work out at 6am, so Josh can be on here by 6:45.
So, my only real computer time is from 4:30 to 6... It's been a bit crazy!
And this isn't the end of it... His class is done on Saturday evening... Then he was just approved for a MUCH longer and more intensive course... From Dec 7-21st... Here at home... Including the weekends.
So, this is just the beginning for a while. It's OK - I LOVE having him home with me during the day - but I don't like sharing the computer. LOL
Thankfully - his work is paying for all these courses... and he is being paid his salary. Plus, when it's all over - he'll have 6 days of comp time, as well. I was hoping that would mean a nice little vacation for our Anniversary - but since he will be taking a class during that time... Again, our Anniversary will be sidelined. It's OK really... I am used to it. ONce the girls go off to college - maybe then we will be able to make up for lost time?
I had a good day at work yesterday... Things are really in high gear as the store preps for Black Friday. I was busy all day - and that was good.
**********************************************************
I wanted to do a little
Thanksgiving update...
The last few years, we have had it here. Some of Josh's family has moved home now, we offered to host it here again - however - we had to put a limit on the people, because we do have a small house - which isn't very condusive to entertaining. Our limit was 10 people. Sooo... Upon Josh's dad announcing it to the family - MANY more people wanted to do Thanksgiving - almost double than what we could fit. So, Josh's dad decided to do it at a restaurant... SIGH... Soooo NOT happy with this idea - but whatever. So, we are eating Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant.. Which means NO leftovers... I LOVE Thanksgiving leftovers... And even worse - it means NO cranberries that Josh makes. However, we are all doing to his dad's hotel afterwards - which we are bringing Josh's home made pie - so, at least we will have something good.
Now, at first - I was really upset about this... But the more I think about it - the more I am OK with it. First off... I won't be snacking on appetizers all day. Secondly, I won't be eating wonderful Thanksgiving leftovers all next week.
Thirdly - I think if I work on Josh enough - I can get him to make a triple batch of his cranberries just for us.
So, from a healthy goal stand point - I think I should be able to sail through Thanksgiving with out a problem.
**********************************************************
I don't have any bags scheduled in my sewing room next week. So, I plan to take the week to finish up the one SSP and also the stockings. I also plan to work on my SIL's Christmas gift... I hope to get ALL of it DONE. It's really been bothering me that I haven't finished all of these projects yet.
I wish I had something real and concrete to update about our trip - but I do not. Other than the quest for a healthier me... And my continued savings goals - right now, we are kind of at a stand still until BFF gets back to me about our ADRs. I do need to get on her about it, but I am having a hard time doing that with other things going on in her life... However, it may be a good distraction for her?
OK - I need to get going on my day... I have to be out of here in an hour.
Sending prayers out to all who need them. Have a wonderful day everyone!
