DDA Chapter 16

DH wants your opinions.

When he and DS were out yesterday they found a brand new package of men's socks in the mall parking lot. Nobody else was around, so whoever dropped them was gone.

What do you guys think he should have done with the socks?

Well, Chuck has now talked to his sister. I sure wish he had told me some of the things he shared with her earlier. I would have known that he is also concerned but realizes that addressing it directly with his brother won't solve anything. I feel much better about things now. He has always been one that takes things in stride and maps out a plan. I should have realized that.

We are talking about getting his mother a video phone or pc with webcam. We will call her everyday and get over there as often as possible. We are going on Friday to spend the week-end. She wants to have the family Christmas celebration at her house and wants to do it HER way. Chuck and I are the only ones allowed to help because she knows that we'll do just that.

I'll feel much better after Chuck gets over there and finds out how she is doing. I think she is lonely. She is a caretaker and has no one to care for.

I would have returned them to the mall office in case someone returned looking for them.

so I have been looking on the internet for rings to see how much it would be. Well I am having a hard time finding any engagement rings that have a heart shaped diamond on the internet.

Today was cookie making day. The kids made over 100 cookies. We also made 2 batches of Glynis' oreo truffles.

You too, huh? Nicholas' loves the truffles. He said he's going to eat them ALL!

What SHOULD have been done, or what WOULD have been done?

Man I need to find a good Jewelry repair store. My engagement ring decided to break on the bottom side.

I've had that happen to my engagment ring and to my wedding band. The jeweler said that I'm hard on equipment It wasn't too expensive to have the band repaired, but gold was a lot cheaper then. After I broke the second band I had them cut both bands and replace it with one much thicker band. So now the 2 rings are actually one. Does that make sense? I haven't broke it since that that was probably 12 or more years ago

Thanks for the Christmas cards.

I think I am sick. My whole body aches, my throat is killing me, I have been coughing on and off, have a runny nose, have a fever. I am sitting here in socks, pants, long sleeve shirt, polar fleece vest, hooded sweathshirt and covered in a blanket and am still cold. I never leave socks on when I am home and have had them on all day.

I hope that everyone is well.

I hope Leighanna does not need surgery.

Get thyself to bed

This bag I made for a friend:

Wow, you have been busy. I can't remember the last time I took time to sew.

Thanks!


I wanted Mammoths last year. My SIL bought me some very expensive fuzzy clogs from Eddie Bauer but they just don't feel right on my feet.

I need to get the stuff I mailed to my MIL's. I still don't how we're going to fit all the American Girl stuff in the house.

I was hoping you would have slip advice-you're the resident shopping expert.........

If you can't find one I would suggest that you make one. If you only need one from the waist down it would be a simple skirt with an elastic waist. Materials would cost next to nothing and you could make it whatever length you want. It would probably take less time than hunting one down.

What was that free antivirus download that you all mentioned awhile ago?

 

[Tammi67]

Becky - I hope you feel better soon.

Bernadette - you have been busy! Great new creations. Elin would like the music themed one.

We just came in from shoveling. We now have at least 2 1/2 feet on the ground (from all storms this week). They are predicting another 8 inches by morning with a couple more tomorrow. Tuesday is supposed to be nice followed by wintery mix on Wednesday. We need to get our roof shovelled before then. The snow is light now, but it would get heavy fast with rain. I guess the boys and I will have to hit the roof and camper roof tomorrow. I'm trying to talk Chris into taking Tuesday off to shovel and get to the dump. Of course I'm working tomorrow night and Tuesday night.

Thanks to whomever it was that mentioned Modern Marvels. I called my dad and told him to watch it.

yes it makes sense. I just need to figure out next week where I am going to take it to. I think I will let him wait awhile before I hint about upgrades.

AVAST!

I'm using the free edition of this antispyware program too

THank you all for all your prayers and concerns!
Leighanna is home!

After getting lots of liquids into her with some antibiotics and some pain meds, she seems to be doing lots better.

The doctors finally ruled out her appendix. Her CT scan at our local hospital showed that it was slightly enlarged, and she was having some severe pain on her right side.
Poor Leighanna has been through quite alot in the last 24 hours.
She was pricked several times. Both arms, both hands, and both feet. Finally the nurse was able to get an IV started in her foot. Their next location to go to was her head. Thankfully that didn't have to happen.
Leighanna was very dehydrated. She hadn't been able to keep anything in or down since Thursday night.
We finally got her to take some chicken broth this afternoon which she kept down, and then she was able to eat a little turkey before she was released.

She will stay out of school Monday and Tuesday, and have two weeks to recuperate from this.
I really appreciate all of your prayers. We didn't want to have her go into surgery.

Bernadette - Well, Sister never owned a slip so I never had to shop for one. Princess doesn't have one, either. But I tend to think if she needed one it would come from her grandmother along with the dress.
Sears might have them. Do you have a Strasburg? They might have them. We have tons of little boutique places that would probably have them but I don't know about "normal" places. I had a heck of a time just finding undershirts for DS. I bought some at Gap and then found more at Kohl's. The Kohl's ones were cheaper but I decided the ones from Gap will be fine. Good thing, because there were probably 20 people in the line at Kohl's.

DH is wrapping my presents. Perhaps that's because I left them on the bed?

We made some place & bake cookies today and they are GROSS! They are very sour, which is NOT the way they are supposed to taste. I am wondering if the package got too warm during the shipping process. I plan to call Pillsbury and tell them the cookies were inedible. Hopefully they will send a coupon for a new package. We made some last weekend and they were fine, and I bought the packages at the same time.

Well, I found the Hanna one and it is a size XS-20-33 pounds. It actually looks like it might fit her and come to about 1" above the bottom edge of the Scottie dogs. There is a Strasburg outlet about 1/2 hour from my office. The dress would probably be OK without a slip but I may brave the mall (about 1/2 from my office) tomorrow. The dresses I made the girls for CP were lined. This one only the bodice is lined and the Scottie fabric is a bit thin. I just think it will hang better with a slip. I did a search online & came up with mostly slip on shoes but Strasburg did show up. Maybe I should call them. The kicker is I don't even know if I can get her to wear it. I don't think I can get her to wear tights. I was going to have her wear bike shorts and knee highs. I thought the bike shorts might give her a little bit of warmth.

Today was cookie making day. The kids made over 100 cookies. We also made 2 batches of Glynis' oreo truffles.

Sounds yummy.

Well....it is just a package of socks. I don't think I would have bothered to take them into the store (if known) or mall.

wow that's a lot of snow. Good luck getting the roofs shoveled off. Stay safe on the roofs.

Thanks for both!
