Good Thursday morning everyone.
Had a productive evening last night. the tree is almost done. I will finish it when I get home tonight when it is daylight and easier to see.
Ds1 and his gf were baking cookies again last night. That is their presents to other families. It is nice to see them thank all the people who give them presents.
I almost finished wrapping dh's presents. I have more to wrap and then one gets a bow. Dh was wrapping in the living room and I was wrapping in the family room. It is getting pretty funny. Dh and I have presents wrapped. Ds2 has presents wrapped but ds1 has nothing wrapped. He has always been home so it is hard to get those things done. Last night I wrapped one of his and put it out. He was so funny saying I finally got one. He usually goes out on friday night so I think that will be the day we wrap his.
For those who asked about my son going to Gambia. His school has a chapter of Engineers Without BOrders. He got very involved with it when he was a sophomore. He was asked to go during winter break that year. We spent a crazy month of Dec getting his passport, visa and shots (6 of them). They taught people how to keep their road in order and worked with vets to teach people how to care for their donkeys and ponies. Theyare going back this year to figure out if there is a need for work on pumps for water. He leaves on Jan 2 and will come back the Friday before classes start in Jan. His gf is going to ElSalvador to work on water stations there.
I have to go and clean out the frig since it is garbage day. I was going to do it last night but ds was baking.
Have a happy and healthy day.

You can do it, you can all do it 
You have been missed. 
And so, so sorry for my horrible FB skills . . . I hate that once it's gone, it's gone for good. 
Today DH and I are going to the grocery store at 6 am to finish up the shopping and then we should be set until Monday morning. 
I listen to it all the time at work. I really like that you can play what you want when you want to hear it. I used to listen to Disradio but their loop is 24 hours and the same songs played at the same time day after day. There was also an hour where it seemed like Splash Mountain played over and over. I really love the loops and the music from the overseas parks.

o you have matchy matchy paper or is it a free for all? 
I spray the pan with pam so have no idea what happened. So at 8:30 last night I had to make a couple pans of sugar cookies (emergency store bought from fridge). Thankfully they came out cute with some red sugar sprinkles and little Santa faces. So the boys had their party treats for today and the teacher gifts. Now if they just remember them.
I'm also registering to vote/become an organ donor. 
) But now I need to FLY through this house! Cleaning downstairs is top priority, then I will set the table and start the salad stuff. Cleaning upstairs will wait, if it gets done at all. DS will pick up the playroom when he gets home (since he neglected it on his list this weekend) and move the Wii up there for the kids to play Just Dance. 
. I've got one gift under the tree that is wrapped (and I know what it is :laughing). I told him when they mone situation isn't as tight I want to get our Disney APs renewed. They expire a few days after Christmas but it looks like it'll be February before we can renew them. 
The audiologist was very nice though and even let me help out with looking in Mom's ears, running a test, and calculating some values. 
And, as you know, you always worry about your baby, no matter how old they are. 
here. I am so happy to be the Biggest Loser this challenge. This is the 10th challenge that I've done on the WISH boards since 2009 and by far the most successful for me. Everything just clicked this time. I watched my calorie intake, realized that exercise never burns as many calories as you think, and hit every goal I had for each month. I could never have done it without all of you to support me! I thank you all so very much.
