Hi everyone - I wanted to stop by and say thank you for all of the beautiful Christmas cards and post cards and photos that have been flooding my letter box recently.

Paula your gifts were too cool - I love the lip balm with your saying on it and think of you every time I use it

Vicki - thank you so much for the bookmarks - I was so touched when I read the little note about how they were June's inspirational quotes - I will use them and think of the DDA.

I'm sorry I haven't been around much recently - there's no big news with me - just life catching up! I'm busy with assignments for my masters course and things for work. I'm trying to get my photos sorted from my trip - oh and of course I'd love to finish the trip report!

And then there's Christmas! My family is decending upon us tomorrow for our Christmas day so I've been busy baking cookies (not a patch on Amy's) and fairy cakes (fresh from the oven as I type). Hopefully we'll have a good time. Then we're off to DH's parent's house for Christmas day itself - they've finally accepted an offer on their house so touch wood it will all go through smoothly - but it means this is their last family Christmas in a house they've lived in for about 25 years. DBIL is missing it as he's spending the day with his new girlfriend - so we're going as a family and taking the cats!

Hope you're all well - and Merry Christmas to you all

It's so good to hear from you, Clare! I worried about you for a minute when I heard about the tornado, but then realized you didn't live anywhere close, right? Or have I got my geography all wrong (wouldn't be the first time). Interestingly, I was all worried about you, but didn't give a thought to my cousin and her family who moved to London earlier this year. I got an email from her saying that the tornado ripped the roof off the building right next to theirs, but missed them completely. Talk about a red face! I felt so badly for not being worried about them. Guess that shows where my priorities are!

I hope you have the happiest of Christmases! Eat a fairy cake for me, ok?

[Glynis]

Don't panic you will be fine, you will have a fantastic trip to WDW and you will finish the half and do fantastic. I know you can do this.

Thanks, Becky! You don't know how badly I needed to hear that right now!

hi Tammi
does it say booster pack on the box. I realized a little while ago I don't have a present for DBrother's girl friend so I have to go to the stores

I'm not sure, don't remember.

 

[Tammi67]

I'm all caught up now.

Deb - congrats on the stroller issue, and YAY for Colby!

Clare - good to see you again!

Jen - if we take the train to NYC, I'll let you know. Maybe you could hop on with us!

Elin - good to hear from you. Hope your trip is going good.

and for everyone. I'm sorry that I won't be around to chat tonight, but I'll be on the road all afternoon tomorrow if anyone wants to give me a ringyding and make my drive go faster.

o that sounds good Tammi!

Now if your phone rings a bunch of times ....cant say you didnt ask for it

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Anne Marie - We will have to meet up at WDW! We are going home on August 24 so we will overlap for a couple of days!

Glynis - You will do fine in the marathon! Just keep walking!

I finally bought DS a Water Pik today. The orthodontist told DH yesterday that DS will be in the braces until summer of 2008! I don't know what I was expecting. DS gets all testy when I tell him to brush, and brush the retainer, and brush again after he eats. And now he has to wear rubber bands - that is new. Hopefully the Water Pik will help him get the little particles that the brush misses. Sometimes he has a severe case of dog breath!

I looked for wolf stuff for Nick's project last year and it was nearly impossible to find anything. It is pretty much specialty item stuff. You could always make a T-shirt. I have a wolf design around here somewhere. Let me know if you want me to send it to you.

Tammi - I still have your number programmed into my cell. I will definitely give you a call sometime this weekend! When did you say the ex has the kids?

I didn't realize that it was so soon. You are going to do great. You have been working hard and the most important thing is that you have made such wonderful changes in your life that will stick with you going forward. sometimes the prep is more important than the race And you'll get to meet some DDA, that's enough to look forward too right there.

Saturday night to Sunday night. I will, however, have YM when I get home tomorrow night though.

I need to start a list of everyone to call. It should be a fun weekend. I get to see my real family and talk to my DDA Family. Maybe this Christmas will be the best ever

I have been looking at walmart and target on line trying to find some ideas for a Christmas present for Brother's girl friend.
Have had no luck. she has sensitive skin so does not wear fragance lotions. brother can not remember what perfume she wears which she doesn't wear very often.
she likes wolves.
anybody on that has any suggestions
