Time for me to say goodnight! Going to try to stay awake long enough to watch Survivor online.

The cookie exchange today was your kind of exchange - we only brought one dozen each and there were no rules! The hostess even made chocolate chip.
I just felt the need to make gingerbread snowflakes. Next year I'm making m&m cookies.

those gingerbread snowflakes sound so good and pretty. The exchange that I've gotten invited to you bring one dozen per person attending no fun for me....and I do like chocolate chip

 

[GatorFamily]

We won't be seeing that.

We won't be watching it either.

Have a good night everyone

Holly- a book I thought you may like is total money makeover by Dave Ramsey...he's a financial advisor. When DH and I first got married right after college we had 35k in debt...mostly DH student loan and he helped us pay it off. We were debt free(minus our mortgage) and payed it off 6 years ago. He's strict but it helps a lot. Some friends of mine thank me for it some couldn't do it....maybe you could check it out at the library...I know its a tall order to pay off your student loan in a year though but maybe a jump start...hang in there....nobody likes those student loans

DH really likes Dave Ramsey. We have been to one of his talks before. We do his budget ideas. If we didn't we wouldn't have a house or be going on this cruise and we don't have debt except our house. It really is a good plan even if you don't have debt.

I'm all about procrastinating on housework or cooking I avoid the cookie exchanges too many dzns of cookies to make too much commitment and work this time of your...if someone made them for me I'd go to alll of them Here they have the prize for most time consuming, best decorated, etc...oh and the no chocolate chip cookie rule.

The rules here are no choclate chip, oatmeal, or bar cookies.

We won't be seeing that.

We won't be seeing it either. We went to see Enchanted tonight and the crowd booed the preview for it.

I could go on about this...he's been a blessing to us. Same with us we found we could do so much more fun stuff in the long run

what gets me is the dzns of cookies to make and bake to bring depending on how many people goIf I could find the time to do it ...would be funto go

When I took my DD to see Enchanted everyone booed the preview too...must admit I joined in

Is there a summary of all the events from this board for the ship of thieves cruise.
Has anyone talked about doing secret mickey>

I joined last spring but have not kept close review over the past few months.

We're from Alabama but live in Georgia now. Do you have kids?

Has anyone seen Golden Compass yet?

Love to hear about it! One of the teachers at school was wondering about taking Brent to see it.

What am I missing? Why?

We have the lights which we already did but each year our city or county does Back To Bethleham. It is a project that the home schooled kids do. It is a life size town constructed like Bethleham. There are vendors and houses and a snynagoe(sp?). It starts with you standing outside the town and the Roman guards walk down the path. They then read the proclamation and they open the gates. It takes about an hour to walk through, There are live camels and sheep walking around. It is so real! Women are cooking and in each house a story is told. There are herbs and baked goods at the vendors, there are stables, and at the end there is the stable where Mary and Joseph are and the story is told. Sheppards and wise men arrive. Angels are there(cows and donkeys too). It really gets you in the Christmas spirit. There is a bin for donations but ther is no fee. It really is a wonderful thing for the holidays.

Sounds like you will be busy, but having fun!

 

[scottishwee35]

It was VERY fun! It was only 10 degrees, but neither of us got cold because he had his snowpants on and we stopped in each building along the way to warm up. Plus, there was no wind, so that made a big difference. We each got to decorate a cookie to eat, had hot chocolate while listening to a high school band play Christmas music, touched a few animals they had out to teach about, got to see Santa & Mrs. Claus, and all the animals that have inside viewing areas. Very pretty seeing everything wrapped in Christmas lights! Would have looked prettier with snow covering things, but that's OK. Still fun!

Hi HollyTyler

It sound great fun and I am sure that my kids would love that. We don't have that in our country.

But in town, there are big wheel, ice rink, Germany markets. We should take the kids to town today but it is heavy raining today so we just leave it for another times.

My husband bought the new computer package this morning!! I am not sure about it as it called emachines.

Scottishwee35

Hi! We live in South Florida, about 3 hours from WDW.

I haven't wrote to him but I have spoken with him, the problem is there is no one to do my job while I am gone, so we are trying to find a replacement! As long as we do, then it will be fine... and if not I may just quite lol!


I believe our final payment is due on Feb 10th (I will have to double check) so I told him I needed to know before then. He said he should know around the beginning of the year. Keeping my fingers crossed!

If I can't go then we will cruise in Feb if there is space on the Eastern and I will spend more time in Europe in October to make up for not being off when I wanted to.

I am pretty sure we will be going with you guys! We REALLY want to!

 

[gydell]

Ours is due Feb 8 also. I will be paying on the 1st of Feb just to make sure there are no problems booking Palo.
