So I'm fairly sure that someone has cursed me, although I don't know who or why, but still, it must be true because otherwise, why would everything continue to be so sucky.

I'm so sorry Capri that things are going so bad! I would say they can't get any worse, but we all know that's not true. But once you're on the other side of this, you'll be able to move on. Probably not looking back and laughing, but at least it will be done!

Ohhh, I am jealous! I am #8 on the waiting list for the Plum Pudding Murder and I can't wait to read it! I am already on the waiting list for the Apple Turnover Murder and it doesn't even come out until next year sometime! Have you tried any of the recipes? I am going to try some of the authors you suggested, thanks!

I made the Chocolate Chip Crunch Cookies from that book and they were really good! I have also made Chocolate Overload Cookie Bars which is in her 7th book, the Peach Cobbler Murder and next I am going to try Brownies Plus which is in her 11th book, Cream Puff Murder. I have a bunch of the recipes from her books in a special binder of recipes I would like to try! They look so good! Have fun trying them! Oh, and I would deffinitely suggest reading them in order! Strawberry Shortcake Murder is #2 so you are good to go!

Sarah

I haven't made any of the recipes, although I've been tempted to try, especially from the Plum Pudding Murder book. It's not due back to the library until next week so I just might have to copy some of them. Did you see this on her website (murdershebaked.com)?

Breaking news -- Jo will be writing a cookbook with ALL of Hannah's published recipes, the ones on this list, plus a generous sprinkling of new never-before-published recipes. Kensington plans to release it in October of 2011, just in time for holiday baking and gift-giving.​

2011!!?? I hope it comes out sooner than that!!

Theresa, You are spot on about men.

Ladies, there are always other ways to watch tv. TMI I know.

Unlike us, they NEED to watch some form of it.

Enough said.

Ha ha I was trying to think of a polite way to say that, Mel!! I know we used to have tres problemos when we first got married until we figured out the "differences in perception" of certain things. Makes life a lot more peaceful now, I can tell you

Theresa, it is 47 degrees right now and it only gets colder at night!

Oooh, that is a little chilly (that is about 9 degrees Celsius, which is about what it is here - but a lot colder at night)

Oh My Gosh, just read the last few posts and am dying to go back now, but now time!

Wanted to let all of you disney fans know that if you are looking to buy any disney stuff, then disneystore.com has a cyber monday special. Check it out.

Great, Tracey, now I have to go check it out I always like a good bargain!!

Good morning ladies! Just wanted to let you all know that my life continues to be a piece of turd. Just praying I get good news soon to turn my spirits around.

Deb- Hope you're on the mend and feeling better .

Capri- Sorry for all your troubles & I pray your luck will turn around soon . But I know exactly how your feeling. I've been cursed most of the year .

I hope the ladies in Vegas had (or are having) fun!!

Hope everyone else is has a good day!

Oh, but something did make me all warm & fuzzy.

Has anyone seen the Disneyland holiday commercial with the "It's a Small World" song in it??

Well on Saturday night, my DS & I were watching TV with the baby. She had fallen asleep, but when that commercial come on she popped up & started smiling and swaying to the song. Then she grabbed my purse & kept saying "bye, bye" & walked towards the door. She wanted to go to Disneyland .

Sara I got your card in the mail! Thanks so much. That was a definite bright spot in my day! Still no stocking though . Oh well hopefully soon!

I e-mailed both the girls teachers and they admitted that the district changed the dates but NOBODY told me that's for sure and I am wondering if anyone ELSE was told. Shelby's teacher said she tried to call me last saturday but it is amazing I have NO missed call or voicemail so I don't know HOW she supposedly did this! And I am wondering just how many parents are going to show up today to pick their kids up at noon or for conferences that AREN'T happening. NUTS!

Anyway I am here at work and mom and I are going to go get her pics developed from the weekend so I am excited to see them!!

Katie sorry things are still looking down for you. I will be praying for you that they start to look up!!

Hope everyone is having a good day! TTYL

 

[kelmac284]

Katie that is a cute story!!

P.S. I mailed all my christmas cards today so they should be coming to a box near you very soon for those that are in the exchange!

A daughter after her mom's own heart
I saw the fireworks on my way home from Irvine last night. I was listening to KOST 103.5 and they play Christmas music 24/7 from Thanksgiving until New Years so I had my own special playlist for the fireworks.
I also put the radio via my computer and fell asleep to Christmas music. Love it!

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Just wanted to share that I took a pair of inexpensive boots and "pimped" them for fun. Here are some pics:

I went to Disneyland the day after Thanksgiving. I took some pics and will share them once they are uploaded to my computer

 

[disney-inspired]

My Christmas cards should be going out sometime this week. I should have done them last week when I was home with Jingles but I just never got around to it.

I don't know if anyone else saw this, but the free gift for the first 1,000 people at the AP shopping event coming up on Saturday is a vinylmation.

So, Cristabel, that should be motivation enough for you to get up early and join in the fun!

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

Hello ladies!!

Wow, everyone was rather chatty yesterday! Funny too.

I should've multi quoted, but there was just too much. I did want to say:

Deb~ I hope you are feeling better.

Capri~ Aw hon, hang in there. I'm sorry it's been so rough.

Jane~ Have fun!

Rochelle~ Cute boots.

Hmmmmm, darn. That's all I can remember now.



We had a good weekend here. It was nice visiting with Cheryl, her mom Doris, Linda and Marcie. Doris is a blast! I loved meeting her. I think everyone had a lot of fun. It was much needed. I'll be putting some pics up on FB later as will the others I'm sure, once they are able.


Have a good Monday!

 

[Stacerita]

Hi Divas!!

Can't believe how fast time is flying. This month went by so fast. That just means we are closer to our trip!!!

 

[Queenbillabong]

Hey - has anyone heard from Wendell lately? I haven't seen her around for a bit.......

 

[jordansmomma]

Thanks ladies. I am feeling better. Being lazy is sort of boring.

Bending over, lifting, pushing or pulling hurts like heck!
I sleep a lot! I always tired.

Beth~ Marcie said that Doris was a hoot! I loved her comment at Dicks!

Hi Ladies..
It has been a crazy couple of weeks! My kids have been sick and then Thanksgiving came around much too fast for me this year! I hope that all of you enjoyed your Thanksgiving as much as we did. I was very proud of myself this year. We had my parents and sister over for dinner and I was only 15 minutes late on our scheduled dinner time, so that in itself is a major accomplishment

I have been away from the boards and it has taken me a day or so to read thru all of the postings to catch up. After reading all of the posts, I am just soo very overwhelmed right now. I think that this is the 5th or 6th draft and I keep deleting text and changing what I want to say.. I know TMI!

First of all, my prayers are with Dawn's family and all of the friends/family she has on the boards. I have been thinking of her a lot and when I read the news it hit me pretty hard. Although I never met her, my heart aches for her and her family. I am sad that I never got to meet her. She was an amazing woman that touched the lives of many. She will be missed.

Callie - I am keeping your mom and grandma in my prayers. I have personal experience with this and it is very hard to sit back and watch it unfold. Be strong..

Debra - I am soo sorry for your loss... Before my oldest son was born, I had a miscarriage. Although it was early on, it was devastating and I was angry for a long time. My mom told me that things happen for a reason and that God will only give you what you can handle. That was soo NOT what I wanted to hear, but in time I understood what she meant. Take care.. I am thinking of you

For those of you that have been sick, had sick kids, or just plain ol bad luck, I feel for you and send positive thoughts your way.

2009 has been a really crappy year overall, but instead of thinking of the negatives that have happened this year, I need to think of the positives or I will finish off that bottle of kettle one vodka in my cabinet! I am truly thankful that I have a job that I enjoy and that my family has a home filled with love. My husband can be a major butt head sometimes, but he is the best father that I could have asked for for my kids. I am thankful to be a mom to 2 of the kindest, thoughtful and loving boys. The best complement that I can receive about my kids is what good kids they are. Don't get me wrong, I think they are super cute too, but I am most proud of the kindness that they show to others. I am thankful that my Dad survived his melanoma diagnosis and is clear of his cancer. I am thankful that my parents and sister live close by so I can see them whenever I want to and they can be involved my kids lives as they grow into young men.

I am blessed with a good life surrounded by many friends and lots of new ones that I will meet in February. You are a fantastic group of ladies

Thanks for letting me get all of this out!! Sorry if it was long…
