You should UP the stakes....make them all wear glow in the dark night clothes....

Andy - that's cruel.

 

[lillygator]

hmmm.......8:48.....what will be doing this time on Sunday?

Yeah! only 4 more sleeps!!! Yippee!

 

[elaineteresa]

Use the Points!! Use the Points!! Use the Points!!

hubby is like that too - I don't get it. He is usually very "thrifty". We are staying at the Nick hotel and he wants to pay over $200. rather than use 1/3 of his holiday inn points.

 

[elaineteresa]

UM....then why am I medicated to stay calm???

so am I - I have my corkscrew strapped to me at all times rotfl2:

 

[Bella2000]

I couldn't find them either - I think once the northern winter hits they probably dion't carry them. I want to get a pair for DS since they will be light to pack.

Nah, they just add the croc socks to the displays here.

 

[Bella2000]

Tough it out with a sweatshirt or sweater; maybe a windbreaker; or maybe something like Under Armour if you have that. You're in a car for most of the time and can manage for the walk through the parking lot at the airport. That's my theory.

That's a thought - Under Armour - good idea! We have a car service picking us up - that would make the walk across to the cars bearable when we land at Logan. The walk into the jetway from the plane is typically when you get that first WHOOSH of freezing air - brrrr.

 

[Bella2000]

okay back to page 4271 but first I need to find out whether any of the local postoffices are open today.

 

[Bella2000]

After 4271 it's back to reading Friday, and Sat morn and afternoon some time.

Hi Carla!

 

[becka]

Good Morning!

I have been doing some additional packing this morning. My plan is to be packed by this evening. Hopefully that will help alleviate a lot of stress in these final days since I have to work and do a million other things. Having the packing out of the way would be nice.

My work Christmas party was cancelled due to weather so that gives me even more time.

 

[elaineteresa]

Why does DH ask me where I am going when I say I am going out to do errands. Does he need me to get something? Is he worried I won't come back? Is he going to go do all of this for me? I don't know where I am going specifically. It depends on many variables. I have options based on crowds, parking, how I feel etc. I know I'll eventually end up at Target but since they close at 11P I don't need to rush. I have a list of things to do.

oooh I have the same problem. what's with that? I said THINGS. as long as you are not being asked to do them what difference does it make?

It's a control thing. He wants to evaluate whether the errand is warranted or not - he is computing how much mileage I am adding to the vehicle. He is weighing it against things he wants to be doing at home. He is asking himself - why am I buying Giona new dress shoes - he just bought them for him (1 1/2 yrs ago) LOL.

I find it better to have everything I need in the car and just say "going now dear". and run!!!

Ohh good suggestion loading things first and then saying see ya. I should have done that just now!! I mentioned 2 hours ago thaty I was going to Staples and then 40 minutes ago that I was leaving in 30 minutes. He wasn't interested either time. I have all of my ink cartridges in a bag to return etc etc. DD is in her room on the computer watching LazyTown. I came online to go pay the David/Ivan Tour when who pokes his head in to ask "What are you doing? Where did you say you were going?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Me: I am paying for the Mayan tour and heading out. Why?
Him: Did you want to pick up bread?
Me: (Clearly annoyed) What time do they close? (Now you know Elaine it isn't just bread from the store. It's specific bread from the specific Italian bakery)
Him: 12 I think
Me: So I need to stop shopping and get to the bakery in time?
Him: Well did you want me to go
Me: Yes

Meanwhile I am fuming because he SAW I was finishing something and have my sweater on to head out and because DD's ankle I need to sit here like a prisoner waiting for him to come back. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Bella2000]

Hi Carla!

Hi Becka!!

 

[Bella2000]

ooh I hear the car. I need to go grab my bag and plant myself at the door to get the heck out of her now.

 

[Bella2000]

Bye Becka! Since Caroline shared her hello goodbye smilie designation I'm paranoid at selecting the wrong one!

 

[Bella2000]

Have fun ironing Elaine gag ironing
Good luck packing Becka I'd take the ironing over the packing. clearly evidenced bythe fact that I haven't started

 

[becka]

Bye Becka! Since Caroline shared her hello goodbye smilie designation I'm paranoid at selecting the wrong one!

Bye Carla!

I understand the paranoia. I feel the same way....I never knew I was using the wrong smilies.
