When are you going to move by me so we can have the same weather!!!

My park does this AWESOME thing called DROP & SHOP....so my kids are doing crafts, playing and hanging out there while I finish some stuff up! Lucky me! Better not spend all that time on the computer! That would be dumb!

Cammie - "defending Super Bowl champs" sounds like you're living in the past. My "pansy" Carolina Panthers took your boys to OT on their home turf! which just goes to show you...... We'll be ready!

And yes, I am the biggest wimp about the weather! I wouldn't go to Target last night because I was afraid of black ice. It's been a long time since I"ve had to deal with this crap. And now we're under a winter weather advisory from 6pm tonight until 6am tomorrow. I hope we get a little snow, but I think most of it will hit the snow belt around Cleveland.

So I left my parents house at 8am this morning and drove 45 minutes to my sister's house. She lives in a 100 yr old house and it's so cold and drafty in here! I needed to work here A) because it is quieter, and B) because I needed my BIL to fix my email - I had 46 in my outbox yesterday and it wouldn't send for some reason. So he hit a couple of buttons and I'm good to go.

Now I have the house to myself and it's heavenly. Except for the 2 dogs, 4 cats, 4 rats, 2 mice, and a rabbit. Oh, yeah, and a turtle. And a partridge in a pear tree!!!!!

Yes, Ally got her hair cut a couple of weeks ago - I can't believe I didn't tell y'all that - I share EVERYTHING with you gals!!!! I wanted to cut off the dead ends, and take it to her shoulders. She wanted it shorter!!! It is so easy now. I love it this length. Plus I needed to get it healthy after so much swimming this summer.

OK, off to work awhile now!

 

[CRdisMom]

ahh the joy of christmas. Those photos of ally and crew are too adorable. I'm joining the YouTube world and attempting to post the videos I have taken with my camera. I'll let you know once i have it up and running.

I know Debbie it would be easier if I lived by you. Could you even imagine if we all lived in the same town. Yikes!

Cammie-- I so wish I lived closer so I could help you. I'm hoping you guys have dug your self out.

I'd better head out side to make sure the girls haven't burried themselves in the fort they are making.

Hi everyone

Thanks for the birthday well wishes it was really a tame day too cold to go out and do anything and since Mike was working Badookie and I didn't do too much except clean the kitchen and the living room.

It is freezing here and I am hoping we are done with snow until after Christmas.

Well off to shower it has been a crazy day and I have to wrap 2 more gifts and I am DONE!!!!!!!!

 

[DizzyErin]

Hi all just checking in

Sorry you guys are having horrid weather .. it's still no snow here but then that's the norm
I cannot believe it's Christmas Eve tomorrow, i am just about to wrap the very last present to go under my tree, that would be a cell phone for Cj, she is not expecting it at all and it will blow her mind
We've been having a lovely few days here, it was my cousin's son's 3rd b'day yesterday so we went there and had cake and pressies (well he did ) Then today it was dinner at my mum's with my best friend, her husband and their kids .. so yummy food, lots of laughter and early pressies hehehehe well for the kids

Hope you guys are all good and staying safe in your yucky weather

Just logged on quickly to say hello and saw that it is Jillian's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope it was a fantastic day for you!

I'm knee deep into the holiday stuff here _ I swore I was going to "cut the crazy out" this year, but it seems like this is the worst year yet!

Kara - your apple butter was a huge hit! Thanks!

Just in case I don't get back on here before Christmas - I wanted to wish all of you and your families a wonderfully magical day! I'm very fortunate to have each of you as friends, and I just wanted to let you know that I will be sending great wishes of joy your way as we celebrate Christmas!

BIG HUGS!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi Everyone! I'm exhausted and I only got half my list done today. I really wanted to be completely finished so we could just relax tomorrow. Oh well, it will get done - except the cards. Sorry.

Kara, thanks for checking in - Ally's hair is really cute! I love the "Santa magic" that Ally is feeling right now. So sweet. Stay safe on the ice!

Jillian! Happy Birthday!!! Don't know how I didn't see the huge Happy Birthday posts yesterday - I really am brain dead lately. Hope it was great.

Debbie, I'm the drop and shop here! Too bad we aren't neighbors. Lindsay is going through a horrible time again with all of her family and Christmas plans. I am seeing first hand what you go through. Here's a wish for the best Christmas in a long time for you!

Laura - Stay warm!

Erin! Sounds like you are already celebrating. Is your country the area where the "12 days of Christmas" originated? If so, what does that mean - and how do you get the 5 golden rings?

Renee, hugs back to you!


Merry Christmas everyone! I treasure your friendship and feel so blessed to know each of you! Enjoy your families, and stay safe and warm!

Looks like Jeff's flights are all on time today so he should be in just before lunch time, then on to my sister's house where we'll all meet up before dinner tonight, then on to her church where both her kids are in choir.

Then back to my P's for me, Jeff and Ally, where will have "snackie" type foods (since dinner is at 3pm) and Jeff and my Dad will wrap all their gifts while they enjoy a cup of Christmas "cheer" together. Then we all open our Christmas eve gifts (new jammies).

It will start to get crazy here so I want to wish everyone a very


Merry Christmas!!!

I'll be thinking of y'all and your families! Enjoy your time together!

I appreciate you all and feel very blessed that I've gotten to know you over the past year!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Merry Christmas Kara! I'm glad Jeff will be able to fly in on time! I'm up because I went to sleep too early, to I just got up and made my ADRs for March, which just opened yesterday - they have gone to 90 days instead of 180.

I have a few more gifts to wrap and the bathrooms to clean today, as well as fix my breakfast items to pop in the oven in the morning.

This evening it's over to Jim's Ps for dinner, and then family bunco night and gift exchange - always lots of fun!

Tomorrow morning, we'll have Christmas morning with our babies - Ryan and Dana are doing their own early morning at their house, then joining us all for breakfast, along with my mom and dad.

We'll relax and play for the day, and then early dinner here - I'm fixing pork tenderloin. I'm really looking forward to a relaxing time with my kids!

You enjoy your family, too! I'm so glad we're friends!

 

[Debbie6221]

Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas everyone!

I hope it's as magical as Disney World for you and your family's!​

 

[Debbie6221]

Glad everyone still can check in during these busy days! I think 2009 should bring us more drunk posting here!

Kara...glad your travels away from the sunshine state are going well!
Did I miss where Cammie is? Hi Buddy!
Hi Renee...busy days!!!
Hi Jillian and Laura, Momof3 and Erin...We are missing Tessa aren't we?
Hi Tammie...I am trying not to stress with these two days. I think Thanksgiving might be worse. Tonight we will stop by one sisters house and secretly exchange gifts (Mark's side decided NO gifts at all) then to his other sisters until about 6. When they eat we will leave. My Mom pushes dinner later for us so we can pull it off. It's still annoying but at least I don't miss our Christmas Eve (remember I am insane). Then tomorrow we do gifts from Santa upstairs and then the main gifts and Santa's big gifts downstairs! Hopefully it all works out. The snow is coming...and coming.... and I just don't want to be late for dinner because of the weather and traffic! I guess my main stress will be if Mark sees when we have to leave so that I don't have to tell him to. I hate that! Plus, the whole gift thing doesn't really bug me because his whole side is adults and teens. My two are the ONLY little ones. Well, we were just all passing around gift cards and checks at Christmas. NO ONE was buying actual presents so not exchanging only is a bummer for my kids and I am assuming they will still buy for them.


I hope you all are safe and have a great couple days!!! Unfortunately after these two days I just start reflecting on all the changes I need to make in my life! This year there seems to be a long list!!!!! BUT all that I aside I am VERY thankful for my great friends and family and that everyone is HEALTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CRdisMom]

i'm sending everyone a cup of christmas cheer as I can't send my real irish cream in the mail. Trust me I contemplated how to do it. I figured sending something really perishable thru the mail is a bad idea. so here is a picture and we can use our imagination.

I feel very lucky to have stumbled across you guys. Have a blessed Christmas and enjoy the time with the familys. (even if they drive us nuts )

I really hope I get what I want for Christmas this year.........................

(you know I couldn't let the holiday break start without one more JB post!)


Thanks for all the offers to help dig me out girls - now I wish I could have taken you all up on it! Anyway, we survived - and now it's 50 degrees and alot is melting. Thank goodness because I never shoveled my front walkway and I hate not being able to use it!

Anyway, I do feel really blessed also to have gotten to know all of you this year! You guys are the best and I certainly hope 2009 brings good things for everybody!

Glad to hear you made it through the snow, but I hope you don't get flooded by the rain now! I hope you and the girls have a safe and happy Christmas.........

This past year I was so blessed to have met all of you. You have become such great friends and I want to thank all of you for listening, the giving of such wonderful advice, and just being there when I have needed you. May you all be blessed with a Christmas wish.

Happy Holidays I cannot wait to see all of the wonderful pictures from your Christmas Day.
