I don't have my first shift at Macy's until the Saturday after Thanksgiving. They wanted me to work Black Friday:rotfl2

Everyone is talking abut Prince William getting engaged , the big Eagles Win last night, and Dancing with the Stars. I watched Dancing with the Stars

Not much else going on here. Hope you are all having a Happy Tuesday. If I can get through this week, I only have a 2 day week next week

First I am or should I say we are nowhere near done shopping !!! I simply have to stay on top of the wrapping or it would not get done !!Just got 2 deliveries from Aero !!OOPS Judy and I both jumped on the same sale and several duplicates ordered that have to go back!!! The Outlet Mall is having some GOOD sales prior to BF!!! Which YES is 10 days and no I am not gonna ask Jo if the have BF!!!!

Looks like fun and your Grandkids are cute!

Hey all. way too lazy today to quote. I am TIRED.

Going from 0 to full time is gonna take a few weeks getting used to! Today I am resting my tired body.....and probably going to buy the Keurig we have in the store!!!! I am so excited to get one and the platinum edition is $139 and I get 20% off!!! So excited to get a good deal!

I also have to run to the ailor for my pants for work. Did I tell you KC tried to sew a hem for me???? He made them too short and i ended up taking them to the tailor anyway!

I hope everyone is doing good!

 

[jcc0621]

Hey all. Crazy busy at work. Looks like they are letting everyone out before Turkey Day! Just wanted to say Hi and hope you are all having a great day!

 

[askelton]

Hi everyone! Not much to report from Orlando except we're having fabulous weather which makes me happy. Tomorrow I'm going to MVMCP. I'm so not in the holiday spirit, but I'm excited to go anyway.

Mitch still doesn't know when, or if, he's getting leave. It was supposed to be in January, but a pharmacist hasn't volunteered to fill in for him, so we're still waiting to hear.

That's all I've got!

Glad things are going well for you!!!Tired is a constant thing for me !! I don;t think my body knows how not to be !!!Tomorrow is another 18 hour day !!!! I sooo look forward to a sleep in on Saturday !! Although not so much this week as we gals at work are taking all the consumers out to Secret Santa shop and do lunch!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Wow it's sooooo quiet around here, not that I've been posting much either

I lost my golf game I played OK but my opposition just kept holing enormous putts which didn't help Oh well it's one less game to try and fit in

My handbag arrived today and it's actually pretty nice, I hadn't heard of Lulu Guinness before but apparently she's a famous designer and the bag is worth £250/$400 I could ebay it but as Jess got the camera Ellie is having it (for special occasions and to be put away for when she's older) well anyway she has sat all night stroking it So she definitely likes it

I'm husbandless for 3 nights, well 2 more left, as David is on a course in Manchester. I've never been on my own (OK the girls are here too) at this house and it's weird!!! Tomorrow Ellie has a party from 10am to 5pm so I've asked Jess what she wants to do but she has no idea Then Sunday Jess is starting county golf training, she was asked to join and we weren't sure as obviously D is a PGA pro but thought it would be good for her so fingers crossed they don't muck her swing up

Anyway that's all from me, CE you need to check in here now that your book fair is over

 

[englishrose47]

You aren't kidding it's quiet Jo!!!!

Samantha is getting a Guess purse for Christmas , which she picked out !!!Nowhere near $400 but at the Outlet it was regularly $125 on sale for $50
Tomorrow the plan is to take all the consumers Secret Santa shopping and then to lunch!! I am so hoping they all go so I can go too!!

Hope they get it figured out soon

It's cool that she was asked to join though

Absolutely! We need to hear about the trip!

Hey all. Happy Saturday. We did the pick up for scouting for Food today. The boys collected so many cans, it was awesome. Jimmy is now off with his firend Tyler (and his parents) to Sahara SAm's (an indoor water park) for the day, so I probably won't see him until 10:00 or so.

Jim and I are going to spend the day getting things ready for Thursday. We are down to only 6 of us for Turkey Day. Us and Jim's parents and sister. HIs brother and sister in law and Andrew arent coming, no clue why. His aunt isn't coming as it is too much of a ride for her for one day. SHe will be here at Christmas though

They have already announced in work that we are getting out 2 hours early on Wednesday, so I am going to go in to work and save the vacation day. SO we are going to get done alot of the things I was going to do on WEdnesday today, so that when I get home from work Wednesday afternoon, I will only have a few things to do.

THursday we are planning on going to the parade, but it is suppoesed to rain...so that is up in the air. If it rains we stay home and watch it on TV''

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

 

[DisneyJo]

OK I need your input please!!!

When I go to the mall near my sisters what shops should I go into? I have to do Hollister & Abercrombie for the girls but what's good for me? I like simple styles, not cheap but not expensive either

 

[englishrose47]

Don't know if it would be at the Mall but you might like Target!! Old Navy for casual wear too !! Another is Fashion Bug !!! I think you need more fashion conscious advice than me as I am a Walmart/KMart shopper for myself !!!The girls would like Aero too right !!! Oh I just thought JC Penney's is good too!!

 

[sorul82?]

We have somehow managed to keep our Disney cruise a secret so far. We aren't going til April, but we would like to include the trip as part of Christmas. Is our cruise too far out to be given as part of Christmas? How do we present it? We thought about buying everyone a new suitcase as ours have taken quite a beating, and putting a copy of the info inside. BUT, I don't think we need five new suitcases and I don't want to drop $200+ on something that will sit in the closet for the next five months. Should I put something inside our existing suitcases? Tacky? I'm at a loss here.

 

[sorul82?]

Oh, and is anyone interested in participating in a Christmas card/ornament/gift exchange this year?

Hey all! Jimmy had a ball at Sahara Sam;s yesterday. GOt home about 9:00 and was passed out on the couch by 9:30 Here is the link to the place,http://saharasams.com/Default.aspx It looks really cool and the best part is Joy (his friend Tyler's mom) got them to give them $18/tickets

Not much going on here today. Just and .

This week starts the craziness. Thursday is Thanksgiving, Friday I am working at Macy's (They called and asked if I could work 2:00pm - 11:30m. THen I am working Saturday, Sunday, and then Thursday, Friday, SAturday, and SUnday the following week. 39.5 hours in additon to the regular job If it works out I am really hoping that I will be able to stay on after the holidays. We are really trying to get some things paid off. I am tired of being in debt Between this and what Jim is bringing in for extended day (tutoring), and a couple of extra things he is doing in work we should be good

So, what is everyone else doing for Turkey Day?

How about getting each of the kids a new "carry on/backpack" and putting the information in there? Maybe you could order some cruise line pins or something like that?

Oh, and is anyone interested in participating in a Christmas card/ornament/gift exchange this year?

Too late, already sick

Sinuses are killing me and I don't have time to be sick. Jim is making dinner, but I still have 2 loads of laundry to finish up. After that I think I will take a shower, have a cup of tea, and hide under the blamket and watch tv.

Have good rest of the night all

 

[jcc0621]

Hey all Still stuffy, but not as bad, so I guess that is a good thing. ALthough, we are cleaning and rearranging files at work and the dust that is flying around is NOT helping.

Leaving early to pick up Jimmy for his OT appointment. Then work tomorrow and then off until Monday At least from this job

Everything is pretty much readay for Thanksgiving. I have to make the punkin pies and preper my veggies and stuff on Wednesday, but that is about it THere are only 6 of us this year, so it is going to be VERY laid back and stress free

Jimmy even said he doens't want to go to the parade wants to stay in his PJ's all day. I told him that it was fine, since it is just my in-laws coming Mean

Hope you are all having a Happy Monday

 

[DisneyJo]

Jo, Gave my opinion abouve, but half od those stores I have never heard of CAn you tell I don't shop much

Thanks anyway I hate shopping, here I go to the few shops I like and avoid the rest

Sounds lovely

Still quiet here

For a change D and I played golf today, oh he really enjoyed his course and feels as though he got loads out of it. Hopefully he can earn more money out of it

I then came home to a stack of prizes, my postie must love me There was a T-Shirt (gross but good for girls nightwear) a Jamie Oliver little treats book (Jess stocking) and a triple blu ray pack of Back to the future which I hid and will give to D for Christmas Little things but I love it

Hey ladies!

I really haven't read in like 4 days? Yeesh.

I'm so tired i can barely stand when I get home. I have been training with another supervisor and working his not -as-good-as-mine schedule. 9 or 10 hours a day every day that I've worked. I can't wait to see that check tho!

We got to bring our niece to meet her grandparents for the first time this past Saturday and we actually had a family meal at the table- all of us. it was great. My BIL has her officially every other weekend and on Christmas day too!

I am off for a couple of day because of turkey day so thats a blessing, but I am working Friday and Sunday of black friday weekend, 10 hour days each. Then I go to a more normal schedule and can finish training.

What else? we are headed to Pants' house for turkey day, I'm bringing pumpkin bread and candied yams.

My Disney meet in NYC is also this saturday afternoon so I'm excited about that and am hoping to make some cookies shaped like mickey heads for that, if i find the time.

Anywho I am dead on my feet and headed to crash out with my kitties. Night!
