Morning all, well it was very Chattylicioushere last night you could certainly tell there was a up for grabs, well done Joann

Another day of doing more or less nothing for me I'm going to polish the silverware that we'll be using for lunch on Thursday and I've got just 3 more gifts to wrap and that's about it.

Josh is a work with Paul today and Ethan has just crawled out of bed (it's 10:30am ) the au pair has just gone out so it will be fairly quiet till about 4pm.

YIPPEEE!!!!! I NO LONGER HAVE A FLAT TIRE!!!!
I have a nice new tire and a portable air compressor. AAA still could not come help me this afternoon, so we had to go to Plan B. When Andrew got home from work we went out and got the compressor, filled the tire and then I drove to Costco. I got my new tire and I'm now a happy camper!
No new snow today, but possibly a little tomorrow night. Lots of slush on the streets which could turn into ice tonight.
4 more sleeps and 1 more day of work!

Good news!

What a hassle, but at least you got it fixed!

Morning Izzi. Enjoy your time off! It sounds like your Hanukkah celebration has been nice so far.

Did you get your Christmas card? I mailed it out about a week and a half ago and it hasn't been returned to me, so I'm hoping that's a good sign. If not, let me know and I'll try again. There's a little something in the card that I want to be sure to get to you.

It'll be another busy day. Trying to finish up everything that needs to be done before the kids get out at noon. I have to pick up one more present for Linda, and maybe a couple small things for her stocking (that's always the hardest part.) Have a great day.

Good Morning/Afternoon to all who Ballyhoo!
Wow it is 9 degree's F here!
Sorry I have not been posting much but I have been swamped with work, Hanuka & my son being on the Undefeated MHS Varsity Hockey Team!
I was at a game untill 10:30 last night on the other side of Boston, then I had to pick him up at the local rink when the bus got in!

Hello Mike yes we got your card and the magnetic ...... it went straight in the fridge, well at least it did after the boys made up "The Ballyhoo jig !!!"

A huge "Thank You" to everyone who sent cards and participated on the exchange, it's been great fun opening all the cards.

Thanx Izzie!

Glad to hear that your Hanuka is going well, my wife has only been giving out the small gifts as she was waiting for school to end before starting on the bigger stuff! Unfortunately all good things must end, and today is the last day of school for my children untill January 5th!

Oh well, with this cold weather I would love to head south, one of my son's old hockey coaches who's son did not make the Varsity (on the JV) is heading to Universal Studio's in FLA (Staying at the Hardrock) for the holidays! Boy was I jealous when he told me!

I saw that as well and thought what a fun idea and a great memory to cherish.

I thought of you this morning and your poor car sitting in the parking lot stranded when they were showing the airports in the NW and all the snow. Glad to hear you have a full set of wheels again.

You are the only person that I know of that still polishes silverware. I remember doing that year after year with my mom just before the holidays. I still remember the smell of the polish she used. I vowed to not polish silver after I was married.

Is there something I don't know about my DH?

 

[jilljill]

Is there something I don't know about my DH?

Yes, he's been roaming the main DCL board and posting over there.
Maybe his pirate name should be Captain Gnome the Roamer.

Well what can I say I'm an old fashioned girl at heart I know what you mean about the smell, I've washed my hands about a dozen times since and they still stink

Found it! I was a little worried about him for a bit! Thought he might be causing trouble!

Ha, Ha, Ha The Gnome will Roam but when will he get Home

It better be at a decent hour!

 

[Caropooh]

It's like a ghost town here at work. A lot of people didn't come in today and now a lot more of them left at lunch time! I'm sticking it out for my whole shift!
