Exactly! I was laughing at a friend's DH who grew up in the South and now lives in Buff... he was out shoveling their driveway due to a 6" snowfall. I was like "Sweetie, you don't shovel that, you drive THROUGH it!" :rotfl:

:lmao:

Hee hee, can't you just see me asking my aunt to drive us to Philly to meet my "imaginary internet friend"?!

Oh can you video her reaction of that one. IT would probably look something like this :confused: :eek: :scared1: :scared:. PRetty much my MIL reaction when I told her about Fockerfest :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
 
Good Morning All from the land of the wet and grumpy! :rolleyes:

It's raining here, which I'm thankful for because it keeps the temps up. It's still a bit chilly at around .... ahem, I won't say because I read some of you are dealing with temps in the teens. :scared:

Headed to Target this morning for some last minute gift cards, and ran into some really grouchy people. Sheesh! Stay home, grumps! :mad:

I'm taking a teeny tiny break from cleaning and then I'm off to bake. Well pseudo-bake - all my cookies are from a bag mix, oh and I bought sugar cookie dough, lots of squeeze frosting, sprinkly thinga mabobs, and some cookie cutters. Should be a fun afternoon. ;)

Stay safe, warm and dry! :goodvibes

BTW - CE, I had prepped everyone for D's possible visit! :goodvibes I'm so glad he's on his way home to you & the boys! :hug:
 
Thanks...I needed to see some sun today!

Mel said:
Ah, Z. I needed that.

Oh, thank you!


No prob! :thumbsup2


Z,

I like the one of you and Yani waiting for Illuminations. That boyfriend of yours better straighten up before someone else snatches you up!

He's finally apologized so we're back on speaking terms. :)

My favorite cutie Florida girls (NOV)!! Nice pics Z!

:goodvibes Wait! Aren't you coming earlier than Nov?!?


Z! Love the pictures. Although they do make me a little sad......I just want to go back.

I know the feeling! I see them and want to go back too. :sad1:

My baking went well. I am totally exhausted today. I haven't figures out if it is Disney Depression, the blizzard and negative temps or from all of the hard work yesterday. We ended up making 6 kinds of cookies, all are very good. I am going to make some cutouts with my kids tomorrow too.

OMG I definitely understand the Disney Depression. :guilty:


Now I have lost some light bulbs that we just bought Friday night. Why does this keep happening? Am I living in a whirling vortex of entropy? :confused:

Maybe you have a hitchhiking ghost. :hmghost:

V and Z are coming here Christmas Eve. We can make room for two more!!

I'm not sure what we are having yet; it depends on how drunk I get before the in-laws arrive.

:rotfl2: :rotfl2:


When we got home we once again had to shovel the driveway and then have shoveled it again since then. That is three times today if you are counting. ;) I am sure it will need another shovel in the morning but it won't be so bad as we kept on top of it throughout the day.

:eek: Yeah, I don't miss the shoveling....

Aw.......Z........I wanna see the castle in pretty lights!!!

It really is beautiful!!! Next trip should be in Dec TE. I know there's a lot of cheerleaders in the beginning of December. How can BA's cheer squad go so you can make a trip out of it? ;)

We had our first night of Chanukah. DS6 got to light the menorah tonight.

The kids got there first night's presents. They were generally pretty happy.

I love hearing the Chanukah story. :goodvibes
DS's Yarmulke is cool!

.................has everyone read Jo's TR update???
Wow---a castle stay.
..............and to think we knew her when she was just a little Focker!

:rotfl:

A native tree. :teeth:

The walking has Jon in a lot of pain with his feet. I always forget when I plan these things about his "issues". We ended the night with him in tears, and him barely able to walk to the car. I'm SO glad tomorrow we finally get to see the doc.

Great pics Jen :thumbsup2

Poor Jon I hope all goes well at the Dr's :hug:

well, i just finished my last shift at the hospital.

:woohoo: Yay Rach! I hope your move goes smoothly.

Morning Fockers! :wave:

Hi V! :hug:

D is on the plane, so hopefully he'll be home in time for that.

Awesome!
 
Kat- What kinds are you making? Sorry to hear about your grandparents not coming.

I am making sugar cookies, chocolate sugar cookies, chocolate chip, possibly peanut butter and then probably some mini cupcakes as well.

well, i just finished my last shift at the hospital. it really hasn't set in yet. kinda surreal! i'm happy about the move, but i will miss my coworkers greatly!! we went yest morn after work for margiritas and burritos. yes at 8am we were drinking margirias. we had a wonderful time!! last night , they brought in food and balloons. then , they surprised me and unloaded 5 cans of silly string on me. i ran to the corner and took cover , but they got me good!!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

i don't think it's set in bc my farewell party is friday 2nd. i think there will be tears at that party!:sad1:

i'm glad my friends here can move with me whereever i go!!! love you guys!:hug:

Awwww I'm sure it'll be tough to leave but worth it in the end! Props for the AM margaritas!

Good morning! I'm just checking in before we start our day.

Last night was a horribly long night with Jon. His feet were hurting him so badly after walking around the botanical gardens. We should have brought his walking cast...of course he can't walk in it. I can't wait for the doc this afternoon.

Hope everyone has a great day! :hug:

Good luck today!

Don't knock the bags of mix...I am using them! I only made 1 dough from scratch actually. I tend to doctor up the bags tho, adding peppermint extract to half the bag of the chocolate chip, stuff like that. I have a carpload of new cookie cutters to try out too!

Afternoon all!

I think I have a case of the holiday blues. It almost seems like the holidays got harder this year. Now with my grandparents not making it up I am almost dreading Christmas day. Christmas eve I am excited because KC's boss does a traditional night and then we come home and do gifts that night. But traveling to Long Island for the day just seems less appealing, of course I can't stay home so we'll go, but I feel meh about it. I guess I just miss my mom, and its always worse at the holidays.

Never started the cookies yesterday I kind went into a depression and didn't wanna do it, so at least I have everything set up today. The bad thing is KC isn't home to help me so it's gonna take twice as long.

Sorry I'm a downer today guys! I'm sure I'll pop in and out today.

:hug: I know the feeling Kat, I've been like this all month for no reason really.
Maybe the cookie baking with some holiday music and movies will cheer you up. The Disney trip and these few days of celebrating have helped my spirits.

Well yesterday's party at work for our weekend crew was a big hit. Everyone had a great time and the one's who went to the official ER party at work said ours was better than theirs. Score it! :thumbsup2

:hug: I feel your heart ache kiddo. Just remember how much she would want you to keep going. :)


T & Kat- You are just like the lady on the food network who uses premixed things and makes cooking/baking easier. :cool1:


V- You were from the land of SNOW up to your breasticles! Isn't Buffalo the place the gets tons of snow each year? Or is that Rochester?

Janet- That is so nice of you to try to Kat to come! :hug:


Z- Looks like a fun time!

___________

So I want to look inside more peoples houses. Who is going to post more Decorating pics?
 
D is on the plane, so hopefully he'll be home in time for that. :thumbsup2
That's great, you must be so pleased :thumbsup2

I got an e-mail from Buzz's teacher - I forgot to put his tennis shoes in his pack - he's wearing snow boots. He doesn't have PE today, but she wants them for some reason :confused:
So what did she need them for????

Jo - The supermarket opened at midnight:confused:
Our local supermarket opens from 8am Monday to midnight Saturday then on Sunday it's open 10am to 5pm!!!

Well girls it is a balmy -11 right now. :eek: I decided to hang out and clean this for the day.
OMG Jen that's as cold as we had it in Lapland (Finland) but we were there because it was cold I wouldn't want to live in it :hug:

I guess I just miss my mom, and its always worse at the holidays.

Good Morning Everyone. Jim woke me out of a dead sleep with his snoring at 4AM and I have been up ever since:headache: Although my headache is gone and I don't feel nauseous anymore:thumbsup2 I am work today, but it is my last day until next Monday:yay: :yay:

Glad you feel better, sorry about the sleep.

I'm fixin to head out to buy more gift tags and light bulbs...and superglue. :rolleyes:

Uh, oh! What's the superglue for? popcorn::

CE- Our job as mom's is NEVER done. Drive safe today on those snowy roads.

Thanks, they're pretty good today - this is what I expected on Saturday, but it didn't happen then.

BTW - CE, I had prepped everyone for D's possible visit! :goodvibes I'm so glad he's on his way home to you & the boys! :hug:

Oh, thank you SO much. I am sure he would have had a ball! :hug: :hug: :hug:

He's finally apologized so we're back on speaking terms. :)

Oh, good. ;)

Congrats!

I thought I quoted Kat, but I guess not. At any rate, :hug: to you, honey.

******************************************************
I got Rachel, Jodi, & Z's cards today - thanks, ladies! :goodvibes

I went out and dropped off the shoes - still no idea why, but she seemed happy - and then got a Dunkin' Donut card for the bus driver. I did manage to get to the mall (SCARY!) and back before the party, so my babysitter is set. The party went very well and the boys wouldn't ride home with me, so I had a few minutes before the bus came back. ;)

D is safely in Boston, woohoo!

We need the boys to eat early before their concert - they need to be at school at 6:00.

It's 20 here, but the wind chill is 5. Nothing compared to Jen1, but... She's got what I was more used to growing up - bitter cold, not as much snow.

That's about all I know. I was glad to get the things done today, since with the late start, the morning seemed non-existent.

Have a great evening!
 
Kat- I can't imagine how hard it is for anyone who's lost a family member. :hug:

Z- I don't remember seeing those pics. :confused3 He's a cutie! Thank you for the adorable card, BTW. :goodvibes

I'm printing out history pages for the girls for the next unit. Fun, fun.
:surfweb:
 
Superglue. Should I ask WHAT are you doing with it?

I'm gonna start gluing my crap down around here so stuff stops disappearing. My 1st 3-pack of tape and boxes ended up upstairs. I went up to yell at somebody and instead I get, "look mommy, we made Disney World." :sad2:

He's finally apologized so we're back on speaking terms. :)

Oh, good, now I can take off my booty kickin pants.

:hug: :hug: :hug: Do you and KC want to take the train down Philly instead. You are more than welcome:goodvibes

She is coming here.

Gonna see if I can put the tree up. The boyfriend is coming over so I'll see if he'll help as punishment for fighting. :stir:

Oh for Pete's sake. :sad2:




We are very busy and very cold here. But no snow. Just a lot of wind. Which just makes the cold colder. We did Chanukah tonight with the kids. They conned us into two gifts a piece. They get that from hubby's side of the family.

I hope you all are getting to enjoy the holiday's!
