Help wanted: Anyone who can shovel, drive a tractor, or use a snow blower.

Please start at Kimmy's and work your way up. Thank you.

Dear Kimmy & Mr. Becca

If you can't call in for a snow day, please be careful out there.

 

[Dis_Yoda]

So I suck at keeping up

I'm out of practice.


I hope everyone stays safe in the snow!

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Bonnie it sounds like you got yourself some good deals. My girls love Roxy and for under $10~ you go girl.

To all you snow bound people be careful. We are actually very chilly right now in the 30's. It feels like Christmas with a chill in the air and I'm loving it. I better enjoy it now because they are saying Christmas Day high 70's.

We have an Ortho appt. this morning and the last of the three Gardisil shots this afternoon. Fun times man.

 

[mishasmom]

Good morning Sassies! I won't comment on our weather cuz that would just be cruel for all you snowbound gals! But I love snow, so you can send some this way.

We have to go to a wedding in Colorado this weekend. Yes, someone thought that it would be a great time to hold a wedding-smack dab in the middle of the busy holiday season, not to mention everyone trying to get to Colorado in December!! It's in Grand Junction, and most of the family is driving and will end up having to drive 4 hours straight through the Rockies. Because we are west of them we get to avoid most of that, but if there is a bad storm anywhere from Flagstaff on it could be fun. Needless to say we're taking the Xterra so we'll have 4 wheel drive at least. I'm going to freeze my booty off-I haven't lived in Colorado for 8 years now!! It's my DH's nephew, and his father died 2 years ago, so everyone wants to go and support him since his dad can't be there.

I'm starving-Wilma, do you have any left over latkes? I'll take mine with sour cream, plz.

Did you say "snow blower"??? (Tee hee!! )

Hope you don't turn into a snowman!

Hi lady! How's the new job?

Hi Tricia! Yes, Roxy deals rock my world! Hope the girls appreciate them!

Hi Angus! How are you today? Sucks you have a wedding so close to Christmas...hope it turns out to be fun! Been on Facebook as of late?

 

[frndofpooh]

Angie, you are just in time for the last latke. And yes, cream cheese on a latke has been judged to be good, however you may feel a little bit dense after eating it. Pistachio/pepper spread, not such a good idea.

So, I am in a wrapping frenzy. And, I have to make three gingerbread houses for the boys to decorate tomorrow at their cousins. Where has Heather been? I remember last year she was making gingerbread houses too! Where are you, girl?

Are you snowed in people dug out yet? It's supposed to be 10 degrees tonight, but no flakes in sight. Dig out the battery operated socks, ladies! I have PLENTY of hot cocoa if anyone is in need.

Becca, I sent a latke your way via frog this morning. He's bundled in a parka, mukluks and thinsulate gloves. If he gets there without eating the latke, consider yourself lucky!

Angie - Yucko to a holiday wedding! What were they thinking? Don't they know that real people want to spend their holidays in their pajamas? Are they allowing pajama-clad guests at the wedding? I say, you should refuse to go if you can't arrive in a bathrobe. And curlers, if only for effect.

Hi Judi, Tricia, Julie, Shannon, Bonnie, Heather, Kimmy, Mel and anyone else reading along at home! Only three more days til the Fat Man!!!!!

Rise & Shine

It's Dec. 23rd ya know. Bake those cookies, yep buy a box of oreo's dip em in some chocolate and call it done. A few red & green sprinkles add a nice homemade touch.

Wrap those gifts, JC penney bag, a little tape with a bow. Use your bag as a briefcase after the holidays.

Start your kitchen prep work, pick up the phone, call for one of those $30 turkey or ham dinners, you're good to go.

Toots, nice to see ya. Angie & Mel, it's beginning to feel like old home week.
Becca & Kimmy, still snowed in? Start digging, it's a whole new storm today.
Tricia, a 70 degree Christmas, I'd like to try it.
Wilma, I'll send you a deer, then he can bring me latkes.

Julie, Heather, Shannon, lurkers, & freinds

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Good Morning. Yes, ladies we are coming down the holiday home stretch!
I am proud to say that I wrapped 0 presents! I got my roommate, who LOVES to wrap, to do them for me. I consider that a VICTORY!

Judi, please tell me there is no more snow on the way for us today!

 

[coles1mom]

Good Morning Kimmy

up to 8" today starting at noon. Freezing rain with more snow to follow. Not sure if you are in the band or not. Might wanna check.

Did Missy wrap in Penney's bags.

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

No, Missa actually used real wrapping paper! I would have been totally fine with Pennys bags, as long as I didn't have to do it

I think I'll just be surprised with the weather I have to be here no matter what for the next 42047024808 days.

Happy almost Christmas Sassy ladies! Some mysterious stomach virus is picking us off one by one. Brendan was the first on Saturday, Brian fell yesterday. Justin and I are still okay. I don't think Justin will get it because he is the nastiest human on earth! He'll chew on anything or put anything in his mouth still! I don't have time to be sick so I'm living in a Lysol bubble.

Wilma, glad you are sending a latke my way. I believe his mukluks may get stuck in the snow and if he makes it I'll send him back in snowshoes. I'm sure he will eat the latke before he gets here since bugs are in short supply right now.

Bonnie, Chet leads the sleigh but toots the whole time leaving Santa in a noxious cloud and he has to head back to the north pole.

Judi, I'm all for using bags as wrapping paper, why didn't you tell me that was acceptable sooner?

Kimmy, how much snow have you got now?

Tricia, how do you make spicy cayenne pretzels? Brian would love those.

Angie, a holiday wedding sounds pretty, but nuts with everything else going on! When are you leaving? How long does it take you to drive to Colorado? I hope you won't run into any bad weather!

Shannon, is everyone feeling better at your house?

Jeni, hope you're having a great time at Disney!

Heather, Julie and Meli hi!!

Why does our driveway keep getting more narrow? Everytime Brian has to blow snow the driveway seems to shrink another foot or so. Pretty soon I won't be able to get the beast out at all!

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Hi Becca.
We had from this past storm about another 10". It does keep melting in between fronts thank goodness! I'm not sure what our grand "record breaking" totals have been.

Sending you lots of luck to dodge the "bug"

 

[mishasmom]

Morning my sassy friends! We had another example of good holiday cheer yesterday: some guy hit Dwight and then drove off! He came over into Dwight's lane and dented in and scratched the passenger side doors on the Xterra. Luckily it's not too bad and we can still drive it since we're taking it to Colorado this weekend. Merry Christmas jerk! I need a big fruity drink with a pretty umbrella. Is it February yet?

Becca~I think I'll send you a hazmat suit for Christmas-no germs are getting through that! It will probably take us about 11 hours to get to the wedding. We're leaving on Saturday and coming back on Monday.

Kimmy~Way to go on getting your roomie to do all your wrapping! Score!! I'm available to wrap any time-I love wrapping presents, too. But I may have problems getting through all that snow...

Judi~I loved your Christmas poem. And wrapping presents in the JCP bag is awesome! Although, you need to keep them guessing so wrap your JCP gifts in the Tarjay bag and vice-versa!

Bonnie~I keep forgetting about Facebook. I'll try to check in later. But I told you I'm Facebook-challenged!!

Wilma~The mother of the groom is trying to tell everyone that it is a VERY formal wedding. But this chick ain't wearing a dress in the middle of winter in Colorado! Most of us are going the conscientious objector route and wearing pants. I guess I could look for some faux-tux jammies!

Tricia~how is all your baking going? Are you serving a dinner for the party, or just appetizers and cookies? What time should all the Sassies show up?

Shannon~are you lost in piles of wrapping paper? Did you get swept away by the mass throng of shoppers at the mall?

Hi Jeni-hope you're having fun at WDW!!

Mel~did you have fun decorating the new house for Christmas? What are the puppies getting?

Jullie~we're thinking about you!

Heather~where are you????

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Good Morning, Angie.

Sorry to hear about the car! People are unbelievable! I work in the auto insurance industry and you would not believe the things I hear!

 

[ScorpioJeni]

Tis the Saturday before

And what's in my head?

Why heading to Tricia's
So we can be fed.

My first stop is Becca's, then down to get Kimmy,
a quick trip to Squiddy's, then down to get Jeni
To Shannon's and Julie's and Wilma's and Toot's
Then over for Angie and Heather's to boot.

After feasting at Tricia's
We'll all climb back in,
With thanks for the leftovers
Merry Christmas, my friends!

Judi! I love the poem...I'm so not creative like that.

Well I survived the 4 parks in 3 days commando style vacation. I belive my sister is insane for trying to make all 10 of us stay together. The kids and I managed to escape and wander around Epcot without Sargent Sister. Thank god Epcot has alcohol...the more drinks the sargent had the better time we all had.

I still need to go grocery shopping for Christmas breakfast stuff then I'll be all ready.

 

[luvmyboys]

Morning Sassies!

Here's my take:

Judi's Christmas in a jiffy tips= Sheer genius. I may use several of them!

Becca's flu bug = the pits! I hope you're wearing a protective coating of Purell!

Angie's hit & run and untimely wedding = just think of February and breeeeathe!

Wilma's latkes = YUM. I'll be right over!

Kimmy's wrapping delegation = good work! Does she also shovel sidewalks?

Jeni's commando trip = better than the sinus infection that I can't shake, but still... 10 people? Your sis is bonkers.

Bonnie's Roxy deals = Woot! Good work Sherlock Shopper!


Headed to Dr. this afternoon as my sinus thing is hanging on and getting worse. WTH? At least Riley is better. He's almost back to his A game again, which is great. I'd rather be sick any day than have one of the boys feeling miserable!

Hi Meli, Heather, Squid, Julie, Rells, Shirley, and any other long-lost posters/lurkers!!!

 

[ScorpioJeni]

Hope you feel better soon.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Tricia, how do you make spicy cayenne pretzels? Brian would love those.

Cayenne Pretzels

1 cup vegetable oil
1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix
1 t. garlic salt
1 t. cayenne pepper (I put more)
1 package of pretzel sticks

In a small bowl, combine the oil, dressing mix, garlic salt and cayenne. Divide pretzels between two ungreased baking pans. Pour oil mixture over pretzels, stir to coat. Bake at 200 degrees for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Cool completely before storing.

Tricia~how is all your baking going? Are you serving a dinner for the party, or just appetizers and cookies? What time should all the Sassies show up?

Our Christmas Eve bash isn't a sit down dinner by any means. You can however sit down but it's all party type food. All sassies are welcome anytime after 6:00. Let's see we are having a ham, finger sandwiches, shrimp pasta, hot tamale balls (so good), vegetable tray, chees tray, potato soup, potato salad, salad, fruit tray, spicy pretzels, chips and dips, and lots and lots of baked goodies. I made a rum punch and I remembered the cute little straws but forgot to get the umbrellas. I'm disappointed with myself. I also bought spicy green beans because Mark makes an awesome Bloody Mary. Yep, those little beans had my tongue on fire. I'll have to cut up some celery to counter the heat.

Anyone still have gifts to buy today? I'm staying home to do the last little bit of cleaning. I still have the most sought after job to do today..............the bathrooms.

 

[luvmyboys]

Tricia-- I'll be thinking of you as I'm scrubbing toilets today! Why do we always save the worst for last? Oh, and less than 24 hours before the "Buy Guy" arrives!


Happy Christmas Eve folks! Off to get the last minute stuff done, bathrooms cleaned, etc... Headed to MIL's for dinner this evening.
