Denine, my day tomorrow will be cooking and cleaning. I am already looking forward to Thursday NIGHT.

 

[Mickey02]

Thanks for the Happy Birthdays! Now I feel loved again

No baby yet. Jason said they are putting up christmas lights today to keep Michelle on her feet. Guess he thinks that will help.

Heidi- I agree with Julie about Chris leaving later. Seems they could do without him for a few days he needs to be with his wife on Christmas!

Julie-Glad your doing better. You are lucky to have such a supporting husband.

Sandy-Have fun tomorrow cooking and cleaning. Man those dinners are SO MUCH WORK! I have a lot of cooking to do but wont have the company this year at the house. Nice break

Denine- Car stolen?? How terrible. Tiffany says she feels violated just knowing they were going though her stuff in the car.

Susan-Have fun with your company on Thanksgiving.

Well time for lunch. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Barb, I think I would be fine if I had your house. It's just too hard to squeeze everyone in at my house. I want them all on one floor so we can all be one happy family but I'm afraid that we will have to resort someday to using our other table downstairs in the family room. We put two tables end to end upstairs. It just leavesa little space for the living room. Pretty much, find a spot at the table and sit. I want to enjoy everyone's company but as the family grows I think that's not going to happen.

Hey guys, been in a funk and just trying to get myself out of it. Chris has to leave that day because it is cheaper by far and the only price we can somewhat afford. I keep thinking this may be his last Christmas with his dad so it is a good thing. I guess for me it is super hard because it is a special day for him and I since he proposed to me on Christmas day. Thanks for all your support, it means a lot to me.

Barb - I hope you had a great birthday. Any news on a baby?

Julie - How are you feeling?

Denine - I love Groupons! Some of them can be good savings!

Susan - take it easy this week. You don't need to be in any more pain!

Mom - Thanks for having Thanksgiving! But get rested up Thursday night because Friday we will be up and out early in the morning for my favorite day ever!!!!!!!

Seriously, why are we even going to bed Thursday night???? The stores are opening soooo early this year. Kohl's at 3, Target at 4 and Walmart?????

Let me know about Sable.

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning

Today I go get my shot. I am praying it helps lots when we are in Disney. I am going to have to come back to work after to save on vacation time. BLAH!

I feel so weird today. Really shaky & queasy. Not sure what is going on. I have a lot to accomplish the next few days. I feel so unorganized

No baby yet. Jason & Michelle put up their outside lights yesterday hoping that would help. Alana needs to be born soon!

Let me know about Sable.

Walmart and Best Buy open up at 5:00. I will have to discuss game plan with you tomorrow! Best buy has a laptop for cheap too that is a little better but states only 3 in store so I think I have a better chance at Walmart. Walmart actually opens up at midnight but they won't do their doorbusters (laptop) until 5am, so not sure what time we should get there!

Barb - I hope you feel better. Have you ate breakfast yet? Maybe that will make you feel better.

We took our dog to the vet last night and it turns out she is having seizures. Our family cannot get a break from seizures, it is insane. It is just as scary watching my dog have them as it is seeing Tyler have them.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Heidi, I think just knowing our family might be hazardous to friends/family seizure health. It goes on and on with neurological problems. Game plan tomorrow sounds like fun. I am not planning on buying anything so you can use and abuse me. I say that every year but I always buy.

Barb, sure hope you aren't coming down with anything. It's just not fair with cooking and perhaps a baby . Take a nap.

Busy, busy like I said and stupid me put laundry into the equation as well. DUH!

 

[Denine]

My cooking is done. My Wii TM is done. Kaleigh's laundry and bed are done. I am now working on my nails. I lost 2 lbs this week!

I made Queens's cake ( a Williamsburg recipe), pecan pie bars, wild rice dressing and biscotti.

We are supposed to get a lot of rain the next 48 hours . I hope the sump pump behaves!

Barb: I hope the shot helps! Come on Alana!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

SHAME ON YOU, Denine. Mentioning my favorite pecan pie bars and I can't have any. I LOVE THEM! Have you ever tried the chocolate ones? Mmmmmm!

 

[Schrolls]

Happy Thanksgiving!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
(once again, I can't change size or color)

 

[wildernessgirl]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!

I hope you all have a great day!

Heidi and Sandy, have fun tomorrow! You won't catch me out Friday! It is NUTS around here! We will stay home and I will try to get the Christmas stuff out for the kids to decorate the house.

Barb, hope your shot helps! Any word on the baby? Maybe we can have a Thanksgiving Day baby!

Susan, hope you are on the mends!

Denine, I hope you guys have a safe trip to your parents and Jerry's mom's house. SO, you going shopping tomorrow?

Well gotta run!

TTFN

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Home and safe! We went to Kohl's, Walmart, Target, the mall and Office Depot. Started at 2:30AM and finally home at 7:00AM. I need a nap.

 

[Denine]

No shopping for me on this crazy day! I would rather go to work than go out on BF! Luckily I stayed home from that too.

We had a long but really nice Thanksgiving yesterday. We didn't over eat too much.

Sandy: They had a version for the chocolate ones, but my dad is a purest when it comes to his pecan pie.

My 40 minutes on the TM is done. I am officially down 20 pounds and my favorite jeans fit again!!!!

Jerry is working from home today. It is also laundry day.

We have no plans for this weekend. We will put up the tree next weekend.

Hope you all had a great day!!

Any baby???

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi guys, a little chilly right now but the high could reach 60. Nice!

I'm busy looking at recipes. I need to cook 2 desserts for two different occasions for Ted's office. Looking at cookie recipes, too, since we have a cookie exchange party to attend. Heidi, I'm thinking about those double chocolate ones that you use to like.

So how as Amish country today, Denine? I am sooo proud of you for losing 20 pounds....and a little jealous, too.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Just watched the movie Leap Year. I really liked it. Guess I will have to put it on my Christmas List. Anyone here ever watch it?

Yucky movie on now. Ted is sleeping. I tried changing the station and of course he woke up and gave me a dirty look. I am bored silly.

 

[Schrolls]

Back from hockey weekend in Raleigh. They went 2-1-1 for the weekend. Not bad. I didn't have my laptop with me so not ab le to check in and post.

Hope everyone survived the holiday.

Barb - do you have a new grand baby yet?

I'm planning to work tomorrow from home. Recovery still going great.

 

[Denine]

We had a great weekend. We spent the day in Amish on Saturday. I was able to re-stock my staples. I bought a lot of flour with baking season here. We had a nice lunch too.
Yesterday was church, then Thanksgiving part 2, then the mall for some items then grocery shopping.
I pulled out all my Christmas music and started playing it on Friday to find that something was not working right at all with the stereo system. The speakers keep cutting in and out and get all staticy (sp). So, we went up and bought new speaker wire and connectors. It turns out it may be the reciever itself. But, Jerry also hooked up my turntable so I can listen to my favorite Christmas records too. I have tried to find some on CD, but they don't have them. We need one of those turntables that you can record the music from the record to CD.

Today is school and then we are going to go see Tangled and have popcorn for dinner!

Sandy: I still want to lose about 15 more pounds, but I am getting there. I heard that WW is re-vamping the program and that fruit will now be free. You will have to fill me in on the details!

Susan: Glad your recovery is going well!

Barb: ???

Good morning! Had a very busy weekend. Wondering where the time when on my 4 days off! Had a great Thanksgiving and had a lot of fun on Black Friday. I got almost everything I wanted so it was a very successful trip. I live for that day, it is just a tradition with my mom and I that I love. If you haven't read my FB, we bought a puppy so we got all the Christmas shopping done for our family in an hour! Total impulse buy but definitely worth it! In the last 7 years, usually the girls and Chris can't convince me to get a puppy but this time they did. She was meant for us and is perfect. Anybody have any ideas or tricks for crate training? Lilly loves our other dog Sable, but Sable is just starting to tolerate her. Hoping Sable gets more comfortable with her soon. Chris is promising me she will.

Barb - Hoping your new baby has arrived! Check in and let us know!!!!!

Denine - Congrats on the weightloss. The food you cooked sounded yummy!

Mom - I haven't seen that movie yet. So can we borrow that baby gate you offered a few days ago???!!!!!!

Julie - Were the kids able to decorate for christmas??? I might put up a few lights, but nothing big since I will probably spend most of the time at my mom's house! I have a baby christmas tree she got me last year, so I will decorate that!

Susan - Glad you are recovering well. How much longer for full recovery?
