Oooh I bet you'll have some funny stories to tell usI wasn't in my normal spot (Lingerie).
Good luckI go for pretesting on wednesday and surgery is scheduled for next thursday. I am starting to get really nervous about it. It has to be done as I am in constant pain but I always worry that the simple surgery planned becomes more complicated.
Well I'm glad you're still survivingGood morning and greetings from Crazy-Land!I'd give you an update, but I don't even know where to start and there's waaaaay too much to cover. Let's just say all hell broke loose with school/holiday prep/trying to get a new TV on Black Friday/assorted other duties, but I'm surviving it, okay?!

Hi all.
I managed to get almost all of my shopping done and half of the presents are wrapped, INCLUDING MINE.
He wanted an "I heart B**Bies" bracelet, I think for what it says more than what it stands for. He was very happy though so it was worth it.

Wow this place is still quiet, CE hasn't checked in yet, I sent her an email last Wednesday but still haven't heard back
I fly on Wednesday and it looks like I won't be meeting up with anyone in NY nowwell except Erin from the panel as she literally lives on the same street as my sister!!!
A lot of England is currently under a deep blanket of snow, we've escaped with a light dusting but fingers crossed I'm able to get to Heathrow and fly out on Wednesday!!

So how was your Thanksgiving??? Did you get lots of bargains today and how was/is work Janet?
I played golf on a frozen course today, the balls were bouncing in all directions. We have snow forecast for the weekend and my Dad already has some, it's the coldest November here in 30 years.
Only 4 full days left till NYC!!!!!
Hey all! Hope you are all having a great weekend and that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thirsday night after dinner, I left my house at about 9:00pm to head to Toys R Us. After I got everything I needed there, I came out of the store and my car wasn't where I parked it. THankfully they had police, in addition to the extra security they hired, there. So I give them the description and all the information and I call Jim to come get me. I go outside to smoke becasue now I am P.I.$$ed. As I am doing that the cop comes back and asked me where I parked my car again. I told him and he just shook his head and pointed in the opposite direction of where I pointed. Jim was not happy.
Anyway after that I headed to the Disney Store, then hit Kohls, Target, Lowes, and 5 below. I was home and in bed by 6:45AM. Got some great deals and saved a ton of money.
Then I got to Macy's for 3:00 and worked until 11:00pm. I worked yesterday 12:00 - 8:00pm and then came home and we decorated the Christmas tree. The boys are going to do the outside decorations while I am at work today (12:00 - 5:00) and then when I get home we wil finish up the rest of the inside decorations.
In the meantime, JIm is going to do the grocery shopping and the laundry too.
Tell Jim that I feel his pain on the working holidays. I actually am using vacation over Christmas or I would have had to work too. How's his toe now? Sounds like he is helping you out quite a bit. That's always nice.Hi all.
Quick fly by. Hope everyone had a nice holiday. I managed to get almost all of my shopping done and half of the presents are wrapped, INCLUDING MINE. Jim goes out with me and I pick out everything I like then he buys it. It makes it so much easier this way. I used to get hideous gifts that were 3 sizes to big.
My oldest grandson came over to help me decorate, I don't do it right in his opinion. He is 12 and thinks he's a comedian. I did let him have his one present early. He wanted an "I heart B**Bies" bracelet, I think for what it says more than what it stands for. He was very happy though so it was worth it.
I go for pretesting on wednesday and surgery is scheduled for next thursday. I am starting to get really nervous about it. It has to be done as I am in constant pain but I always worry that the simple surgery planned becomes more complicated. It's also going to hurt, ALOT. We're getting the tree friday as it has become a tradition to go with my son and his family and he has off friday. His schedule rotates days off. He has to work Christmas this year. He may try and take off but since he works nights he will at least be home to see his younger son open gifts. It is a schedule I know very well as Jim used to have the same problem. He once made me call his sergeant and pretend to be in labor. I was due Christmas Day so it wasn't a far stretch. He called back 2 hours before his shift was over to tell them it was a false alarm. He still gets teased about it 26 years later.
Oh well not much going on here. Have a great day.
Hello Crazyland! Sounds like you need a big hug so you've got it. Keep your chin up.Good morning and greetings from Crazy-Land!

You did well over the holiday! You didn't have to jump on anyone to get what you wanted? I bet you have to wrap everything to keep prying eyes out.I am back from the world of Thanksgiving and Black Friday !!! We got almost all we wanted for BF !!!Have a brand new 42" TV and lots of Christmas gifts , many of which are wrapped.
Excited about my next years Free Trips !! Naturally I am planning already!!!
Good luck

I told Jim I was going to do my shopping at Macy's and give him the stuff to wrap. He was good with that
He's not allowed to wear that at school is he? Jim's school has banned them!
Good luck![]()

I hope your surgery goes well and is worth it.
No news on Doug's new treatment plan yet. He is having a lot of trouble with his speech and word processing as far as typing and writing.
I came home from work the other morning and noticed that an accent light along the sidewalk had been knocked over. It was broken off the stake that was in the ground. It wouldn't have been so bad but that particular light was just replaced in April due to malfunction.![]()
I asked him what happened. For some reason he decided to wander outside to see where some loud music was coming from and I guess he forgot where he was and walked right over the darn thing. I said, "Douglas, just what were you going to do if you found out where the music was coming from? Go over and kick their behinds with your one good foot?" I just don't get it. He won't get his rear out of that recliner to do what he should be doing but he'll get up to walk around in the dark!
I don't know if I told you guys but I am on Nutrisystem.
I'm going to Ohio to visit Rockie and the gang this weekend. Doug is staying home. Rockie and I will do some wine/whine time in her hot tub while I'm there which should be good for me.
