Well, great! That just means we all HAVE to go back for another trip in 2009 to see the changes. Oh, the hardship...
JO
ooh, I am still working on that one!
Baby, if you're reading this, I want to go to DL for our anniversary, not Ireland...
JO
800 Pages!
Shelly: Thanks for the DVD video review. How many hours long are they? Are they narrated or have any special music?
Going out on a date with my wife tonight. Maybe we will come home really late! Seacrest
I sure hope that's not true!! 
DS8 will be SO disappointed.
Okay, so here are the results of my MRi's...
as far as my toe that is swollen, it's not broken, there is fluid (lots of it) on it, and I have to start taking a high, high dose of steroids to see if it will decrease the inflammation. It *could* be a sign of arthritis that isn't showing up yet in blood tests.
As for my knee...
There seems to be fluid on it, as well as a tear to my ACL. So I have to see an orthopeadic surgeon and possible have surgery to fix it.
Lovely.
I KNEW there was a reason we chose to go to WDW next November!~
UGH.

JC,Hey Huggie!
I need to start my baking sometime soon. I don't mind baking, it's just the thought of getting started! I usually make about 8 different kinds of cookies.
Sulley - How are you? Getting excited I bet!

and 
Hope you feel better soon!
I want to put up my Christmas Tree today! (Yeah, I still don't have it up!) 
to my buddies who are wishing me well...
See, we've been through this before with me, but only every time I am pregnant. There was this little incident in Canada (the real Canada, not EP) where I said I was going to pass out and he didn't believe me...
and he whispers in my ear "Well, at least we know you aren't pregnant, so I feel really good about life right now." You'd better get that tree up, girl! Mine stays on continuously...*sigh* 
Lots of thanks and hugs
We went to church this morning, then out to eat. I have taken three doses of my steroid and it is making me a bit woozy.
So we get up to leave the restaurant, and I'm standing there at the front door, waiting for the kids and Mark and he comes up, takes one look at me, and realizes what I'm getting ready to say before I say it...
"I'm going to pass out".
Ah, don't you love it when you've been married long enough to look at your spouse and KNOW what is happening before it happens???
and two seconds later, he was picking me up off of the street at a busy intersection...
Anyway, this time, he grabs me and the kids are like
Anyway, it ended up that I didn't pass out, which is a good thing. I would've hated for the restaurant manager to have to explain that to the incoming customers...
"Welcome, and please do not mind the lady on the floor, she had a bad pasta dish, but she's gonna' be walking it off any second now. Right this way, I"ll
show you to your table..."
Anyway, that's the update from JoBird's corner. I'm so glad i could amuse you this afternoon.
Hope you are all doing great.
Sulley~ I am excited for you! How about roommates? Do you know anything? Which park are you working at? Throw us a bone tell it all to us. We are dying to live vicariously through you.
Shelly~ I sure am glad I moved to Pittsburgh for the weather...
JC~ Still waiting to hear from you, girlie.
Seacrest~ That Aladdin was too cute. He isn't the one that was dating the Big Brother reality star was he?
JM~ Where are you? How's your G'Ma and that handsome Prince of yours? Have you firmed up any plans for your trip yet?
Mella, oh Mella~
Huggie~ I wanna' hear all about your cookie exchange.
Did I get everyone? I'm sorry if I left you out. I heart you all.
OH. MY. GOSH.
I just looked at my smilie list and MY BANANA IS FROZEN!
I'VE GOT A FROZEN BANANA! That's definitely not something you say everyday, although in Pittsburgh, one can never be too sure. hahahahahahahahaha.
Jo
Tree is up!! 
Don't know why, there's no real snow to speak of yet. Sure was cold at the bus stop all that time! 
I need to take some pictures of mine! !! 
Thanks for all the countdowns
Lots of thanks and hugs

YEA! 5 Days Huggie!
I normally do not mind a little snow around the holiday's, but it is still so dang windy! I feel like the house is going to blow off the basement! In the 70's!
I just had to say that there was no snow to speak of here this morning. . . Well now the ground is covered!
Since it was too cold to do anything else I decided to start my baking this morning. I just started with the basics and made chocolate chip, chocolate with chocolate chips, peanut butter, peanut butter blossoms, and almond slivers. Maybe tomorrow I'll attempt something a little more difficult!! I am the only one in my entire family who can make my great-grandmother's secret family recipe sugar cookies and have them taste just like when she made them! I guess I should be proud to be able to do it, but it usually means that I have to supply the whole family with them!
Huggie - Sorry you had to have such an expense right before your vacation. At least you were able to smell the gas before it turned into something worse.
Looks like the weather is going to be nice for your trip!
5 days!! Where's JO - you need your daily countdown!!
