Miss you all! Hope all is well! Merry Christmas!!

 

[HERSEY]

Good morning everyone!

Wow look at all that snow I had better drink lots of coffee to wake up. No sleep driving this morning. Good thing I have a very short commute. Be extra careful out there.

Rose congrats on the tickets.

Mac congrats to you too on the tag

Well off to drink the first of many cups of coffee.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!!!!

I feel so bad for Kevin - he's already outside snowblowing

His drive this morning is going to suck !!! He won't be happy
Then he has to go to Michigan for 1 or 2 nights for work - and he is driving. That is going to suck even more Yeah, this is not going to be a good first week of work (because of weather only).


Later, I"ll be feeling bad for the girls - because they are going to want to play outside

and they won't be able to because we'll be at work all day. They won't be happy and then I'll have guilt because I have to work so much



I'm very curious on how the parking lot is going to be at my work - I sure hope it's plowed when I get there

. I'm the second business that opens this morning (the first is my friend Jennifer at 8:30am), and I already told her that if I need to bring a shovel with me to work, to call me. So we'll see what happens


To all of you that have to go out today - please be careful, and leave yourself a lot of time!!!



Donna - Welcome home!!!!! I"m so glad you had a nice trip to WDW, and also had a nice time visiting some family Speaking of family - how's your SIL doing??? Sending more PD her way!!!!

Rose - Congrats on winning those tickets - that's awesome!!!! You'll have a blast planning your 2008 trip
**I'm sorry to hear about your family problems. I'll send some PD your way to help 2008 be a much better year for all of you.

Tiggggggggggern - Sorry to hear about the van I hate putting money into the cars.
**How's your ankle feeling? Is it totally back to normal? I haven't asked your for a long time.

Becky - That's great about the tickets!!! Your DD and her friend will have a great time!!!!

Mac - I understand about "grinning like an idiot" about new tags. Everytime I got mine - I squealed like a little girl on Christmas morning

Kim - So good to see you!!! We miss you, please come by more often and visit!!!!

HERSEY - Kevin is going to need to drink lots of coffee too Be careful driving!!!




Well, I gotta go jump into the shower
Have a good day today everyone!!!

good wednesday morning chicagoland homies.

thanks hersey!









yes, we got lots of snow up here............



off to work
see you when the skool bell rings......

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Morning all.
Who let it snow?!!!!
DH shoveled the drive at 6am. What a thing to have to do before the sun even cracks let alone comes up.
Did I ever mention here that I hate winter?
Slo, hope your DH has a safe commute to all his work destinations.
In fact, hope we all have safe commutes to wherever we need to go.
Mac, congrats on the tag. Hope you aren't too buried in the snow. We got about 3 inches here I'd say.
Hersey and KimRaye, love your holiday trees/snowman. Those are cute.
Slo, the ankle is sturdy, but it sure knows when the cold and bad weather are coming. Guess I'll be stuck with that. It just aches when the weather is disagreeable. Guess it doesn't like winter either.
Well, guess I'd better start my day. Doing what, I haven't decided. I had planned to do a little shopping before going to school to help with the first Christmas Shop. This is the one at my children's school. The one I am working on hosting is next week at the other school my children used to attend. How do I ever get myself into these messes?!!!
Later all.

 

[Sk8Leigh]

My other blessing, this is pretty big! I won 4 round-trip airfare tickets to Orlando, FL, from one of the local radio stations!!

Congrats on the win! That's such great news! You'll have a great time!

Last night I went out to my car at the parking lot at the train station at about 10pm only to discover that I didn't have my scraper/brush. So I got to clean it off with my hands. Thank goodness I had gloves! Not only that, but I couldn't find the scraper anywhere. I have to see if my parents might have it. If not, I need to buy a new scraper.

Thanks for all your well wishes about my cold. I'm not completely well yet, but I am doing much better.

I finally got the correct Hairspray so after dinner we watch the new one. I hope it is worth the trouble.
