Well, it sounds like most of us made it through the holidays intact. I intended to keep up with this site while I was off work, but R & R ended up taking priority (and I really needed it).
Darlene - Sorry to hear about the health problems in your house. Here's hoping that Sandy and Stan are back on their feet soon. (I'll keep my fingers crossed for the drain staying out of Stan permanently!)
Doreen - After the cruise it was you falling apart, but now it's the kids, huh? Have you considered buying stock in the medical industry? LOL I hope that you are all felling better soon.
Lyn - Nice car! I didn't get my first car until I was 25. I have to agree about car insurance. I think that some reforms need to be made as well. The one that gets me, is the discount for married drivers. I understand their rationale, although I don't agree with it.They think a married person has family responsibilities that would prompt them to be more careful behind the wheel. However, I have never been married and I find it highly insulting that a 20-something with no kids that has been driving for less than 5 years gets a break on their rates just because they were foolish enough to get married at such a young age. Don't you think that the break in rates should be given for being 'parents' rather than for being 'married'? (Also, quit scaring me guys! Devin will be old enough to get a learner's permit in about 3 years. I don't want to think about the cost of insuring him. I guess that I better start saving now!)
Terry - Too bad I wasn't around. I would have helped you finish off your pitcher of drinks. (Just what is in an Orange Dream? Sounds interesting...) We've been fortunate weatherwise around here. I hasn't been too cold (until the last couple of days) and we've had several days of rain (like that's unusual around here). We never get a white Christmas. Sigh!
Sue - Another day off? Lucky! (Of course, I shouldn't complain... I just had 2 weeks off. Although I got to start my morning back with a 2 hour conference call - Oh, joy!)
Andy - I'm sooo jealous! I was freezing last night and couldn't get my feet to warm up for anything. I guess that they were trying to tell me to go visit someplace warm. Enjoy the trip! (By the way, those blue shoes were something else!)
Lucy - I haven't seen you out here lately. Are you still around? How's it going? Did you guys have a good Christmas?
Everyone Else - I hope that your holidays were joyful. Now it's time to see if we have the willpower to stick to our New Year resolutions!
I spent a good share of my time over the holidays being lazy - sleeping late, watching movies, reading books, etc. (No, I didn't get any more work done on the t-shirts yet.) It was great. I really needed the break.
Devin and I took my Mom to see the Lion King on stage and out to dinner for her Christmas present from us. The play was wonderful. It was hard to believe that the kids playing young Simba And Nala are only 11 years old. The costumes and the set were spectacular! Devin loved it. (I think that I have him hooked on theater now - yea!) We ended up meeting up with one of my best friends (Devin's godfather) for dinner. He wanted a chance to see my Mom before he took off to see his own mom in Florida for the holidays.
Well, I guess that I better get back to work... lunchtime is about over.
Dori
I hope everyone had a good time last night. We had to go to a wedding. 
It was OK. It is something everyone will be talking about for years to come....that's for sure! 
. God Bless you all with teenage boys to insure. Been there, done that, empathize.
Enjoy!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
I hope she's feeling much better by now. 
In 2006 Brittany will be almost 14.....this could be trouble HAHA and Collin will be 11
