Skiing, did you find all the gifts you were looking for?

Just about. After going to DS's school to read to the class, Twas the Night Before Christmas, I ran to the store. I got his teacher and assistant teacher, bird seed bells.

Now I need to stop by a liqour store and get DSis's BF a bottle of semi local whiskey.

After that I need to finish a project for BFF and his family. I've been trying to do it with DS, but we've been busy with dinner and homework after school. So probaby on Friday afternoon or the weekend.

After that I want to find a couple stocking stuffers for DS, I'm thinking maybe a couple pieces of candy and a flash light.

The last thing is doing some work on my moms roof. I want to get it done tomorrow before it snows again. We'll see, I'm not sure how long it will take.

 

[usnuzuloose]

You have been busy as well. glad to hear your just about done. You could put an ornage in his stocking.

I feel so left out. I just bought my sister's family gift cards at Ralph's for the 4x grocery points. They never sent Christmas lists and since we never see them I don't know anything about their interests.

 

[skiingfast]

Band rehearsal.

Hope it is going well.

We end up guessing every year. Dont feel bad

That doesn't sounds bad. Everyone needs groceries.

What do you get Fran?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Look what I got in the mail from PIO today!

I'm putting the ornament up with the other three ornaments she gave me last year

Thank you!

It. Was. Like. Pulling. Teeth.

Evidently they complain when we do that.

What do you get Fran?

No I got them Target, Toys R Us, HD, Sears & Mickey D's at Ralph's,4x rewards through today.

I never know what to get her because she buys everything she wants.

Thank you!

Me too! I just decorated my tree today finally and was going to post pictures with that on it, but haven't had a chance.

Thank You PIO!!!!

 

[usnuzuloose]

Those are cute!

[franandaj]

I think my card was different.

I heard in Walmart a Dad tell his son, "but if I buy you everything your want today, what will Santa get you? Son replies, "Santa will bring me something else he always does."

 

[PrincessInOz]

Home briefly; and out again before the revolting door stops.


Oh good....arrivals! Only two out of 4....although one of the two has received the card, which I inadvertently put in the wrong pile.
The cards should all be different....I think. There were 4 designs. But the flatiron koala is the same.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Well until about an hour ago it was looking like I was going to have to give Fran an enema!

So little slow time for you. I hope you get a break to rest before Christmas Break.

I'm hoping that I'll be on easy street next week, with only food to think about.

Hi everyone!
Fran is going to leave the house for the first time tonight since the 4th!

How did it go? Band practise go well? Fran do okay?

It's the season for giving.....and the retailer's are happy.

Santa always brings something. Even in my household where DS ask me THAT question last year.....he still wants Santa presents. So, this year, he's getting socks, underwear, pencil case.....nice pragmatic practical gifts.

Yeah, my Koala has a trumpet! You gave me the musical card!

I take it Mum's for dinner?

 

[PrincessInOz]

Yes....I thought of you when I saw the musical trumpet.

We still have to dash to school for DS to present us with the best of his work this year....and then mum's for dinner.

On my way out...almost now. I'll be back later to catch up on the other threads.

Slow dis.

Just food, what a nice life.

Mine is getting some toys and some sweets. Also underwear, pants, shirt, and pencil topper erasers.

 

[franandaj]

Fran made it through, her hands are really sore and she is worn out. For Sunday church gigs our Assistant Conductor takes the helm. See response to skiingfast.

It. Was. Like. Pulling. Teeth.

I ended up telling some band members privately, there are more us than her. If she insists on playing everything like a dirge that will never end, take over when you have the melody, I will follow you if you speed up. We can not let these tunes die and untimely death and she slows us down to the point where the music is not even moving forward!

Is the problem she can't physically keep up?
