Something About Nothing..........#5

[roseprincess]

Welcome, Catrinabeach
I love your siggie pic, with the Osborne lights. How pretty!


I feel alot better than yesterday. Yest I felt sick.

About an inch of snow here, mainly on the grass. Hope we don't get anymore snow.

Matthew finally practiced his clarinet today. Practiced some Christmas tunes for the upcoming mini concert on Saturday. Chrissy was acting strange as usual. She pretended Matthew was Drake Bell (while Matthew was playing the clarinet). She said she was his biggest fan and wanted his autograph. I don't know about that girl


Gotta get school stuff together for the kids(school papers, backpacks packed,etc.).
Gonna be a busy week for me this coming week.

Back to regular school schedule(and work schedule) tomorrow.

Hi to all!

Have a good evening everyone

Just stopping by before bed...it's back to work in the morning.

Have a good night everyone!

 

[RAPstar]

you are not alone andy.
that's when i shop also.
really

i really do....

Our tradition at my dad's house is to go to the mall Christmas eve and we get one present. I use it as a way to find out what I'm getting on the day, since they usually tell me told me to get something different if I picked out a present they knew they were getting me.

Happy St Andrews day !!!

I brought cakes......

And a wee poem for youse yins......This is not meant as an Anti English rant.. okay middae a wee bit....just proof that for a wee country we have givin the word a lot !!

The beautiful cakes were delicious. Sorry, everyone. I only left a few crumbs. And the list of Scottish inventions/contributions gave me a big smile. Will you still consider me a Scot, even though there's a lot of other stuff in my veins?

Nothing says I love you more than braving the crowds on Christmas Eve and getting their present then. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

It must be a guy thing. My husband used to do the same thing. Mac, how did you start the Cmas Eve shopping? Are you trying to be a guy? If so, I get your hair. No arguments, it's mine.

Tammy - One ounce Scot is more than enough....welcome to the Scotlass clan !!

Hi homies-
Can't believe it is December 1 already. Where has the time gone???
I guess time goes by so fast for me.

Winter wonderland (a marshmellow world) by us in the Chicago area. Looks pretty(being the first measurable snow of the season), but like to get rid of it now.
Maybe we got 3 in.?
I don't know how much Mac got.

Watched Shrek the Halls tonight on tv. I have never seen it before, but it was so funny

If we are getting the ornament exchange PM tomorrow night, I won't be home, as I have a meeting to be at. But I'll pick up the PM when I can.

Hi to all

Have a good evening everyone.

Above are the ones that stated they are in for the ornament exchange.
You will get your person's name and address Tuesday evening.

If you want in, you still have time. Post on the thread or send me a pm to let me know.
Everyone is invited to join us in this event.

I'll be doing the match ups around 8:00 Tuesday evening.


The exchange is for the fun of it.
The cost of the ornament should be no more than $5.
Home made ornaments are included in the exchange.

If it is something that can be hung on a tree, it's considered an ornament.

The mail out date is Saturday, December 13.
If you have the name of a homie out of the country, do try to have it sent prior to the 13th.

Post office stated packages sent after the 15th, can take longer to arrive.

Do not give out the name/address of who you have to anyone.
Don't share with anyone who you have. It is supposed to be a surprise.

When you receive your ornament, of course you can open it.

Post on the thread you have received yours. Don't say who it is from or what it is.

I will keep a list to make sure we all receive ours before we post what we received.

Hopefully, we all we be able to post a pic or describe what we got by the 20th.

Good morning all.Have a great day!!

Well, last night was fun (NOT!). We did make it home from Detroit uneventfully on Sunday, despite the snow. We left early so we got ahead of it, and drove through the UP, which with the snow in Chicago/Milwaukee, I think was the best option. Made it as far as Escanaba without any snow, then pretty much flurries until the Wisconsin border. The last hour or so was pretty bad - combination of bad weather, and Packers', Thanksgiving, and hunting traffic.

However, I'd guess we got about 4-5 inches of snow. No biggie around here, and DH got a chance to play with his new toy (bought a new fancy snowblower this year). I shoveled the drive 3 times during the morning because of all the blowing snow - again no biggie since I needed the exercise after 4 days of eating out in Michigan and since my wimpy friend AGAIN cancelled on me for walking just because there was a bunch of snow.

But...here's the problem. In the afternoon, the plows came through. Well, we still have leaves on our trees and the previous weekend we'd raked a huge pile of them out front of the house to be picked up. And then it snowed last Monday and covered them up. Most melted before Thanksgiving, but of course with the holiday, they didn't bother picking them up.

Well, when they plowed, they basically lifted TONS of leaves up and just dumped them all over our lawn, mixed in with the wet snow. Just a huge mess! So we spent a couple hours last night RAKING LEAVES in the SNOW!!! Since there would obviously be no point to putting them back in the street, we had to rake wet leaves into garbage bags and take them to our "outdoor trash" location and dump them. Ended up with nearly 15 bags of leaves. Yeah, in the 14 degree wind chill you can imagine how much fun that was!!

Sorry I haven't caught up. A hectic day today so I know I won't have any time. Everyone have a great day and I'll be looking forward to the ornament exchange info!!

Good morning Homies

Hello all ..

haven't been around the last few days . VERY busy here . We had Thanksgiving on Thursday at my moms and Friday I was out at 5 AM shopping with her . I was exhausted after that but still went to visit Dh's family Friday night . His DG is not doing any better but she is still around . I just hope that she makes it past the holidays.

Saturday was so nice out that we put up our Christmas lights and started to decorate . I may finish by the 24th .

Sunday the van needed a new battery so off we went to do that and then yesterday I was at work. Off today Lots of work to get to but wanted to say HI to my homies . Can't wait for the ornament exchange .It is like a big suprise coming and I love that .

So to all the homies with snow ...PLEASE Send some here for the 24th of Dec. I could use a white Christmas . It has been years for us here . Though they are calling for a dusting maybe this Sunday .

Ok off to get something done today . Clean , get my pay and finish up some crafts for this holiday fair next week .

Talk to everyone later

The town/city picks up your loose leaves? Thats cool. Do they have a big truck that sucks them up? 15 bags, yikes. The boys must have real happy.
