up for grabs, well done Joann
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.
) 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!

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!![]()

Congrats to you son and all of his team.....what a great run they are having![]()

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!

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.
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!Yes, he's been roaming the main DCL board and posting over there.![]()
