Good morning all!

Thank you so much Christine and a Merry Christmas to you too!

What do you all say we go to a nice Caribbean Island somewhere to live next. That way we won't have any more sick Ya Ya's.

Have a great day Jodie... hopefully I will catch you later tonight!

Betty, thanks for letting me watch. I know it is a shock that I am such a wallflower, but honestly I am so very shy at times I do best with watching and smiling at everything. And you can be sure that I will be giving the best torture ideas that I have!

I hope you all have a great day!

Good morning Jodie!!!! Good morning everyone!!!!

I am enjoying some quiet time. Midi Ds is going to Grandma and Grandpa's today and petite Ds is going to daycare so dh took them since they are so close together leaving mommy some quiet time before work. I get to be all by myself today at work. Both my boss and coworker are off today. Its gonna be WAY too quiet. I have a lot to keep me busy though.

Merry Christmas Christine!!!!

Im hoping Kim and Betty are feeling MUCH better today (((((Hugs))))))

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Good morning Elaine!!!! You sneated in on me while I was posting LOL

 

[Meriweather]

Good morning everyone!

I too hope everyone is feeling better today!

Thanks for the wishes Christine.

Have a fun day Jodie!
I am also headed off to fight the traffic and then have a great day looking at decorations and "maybe" doing a little shopping.

Elaine.....I am a shy one too and would rahter stay in the background at most functions.....but having been to several slumber parties.....they all get ya involved, like it or not....so, sit awhile and then I'm sure you will be the leader-of-the-pack

Carol, I hope you made it to Heidelberg today....and HAVE fun!!

Good morning YaYas and Merry almost Christmas to you! Feeling a wee bit better this morning. I went to bed early last night.


Well, the three of us are off to town today....last chance to get whatever we haven't been able to find, then off to the grocery store for Christmas dinner shopping. I have one gift for Cam I have not been able to find and I'm beginning to obsess over it. It's an expansion pack to a Star Wars computer game he already has... this one has stuff from Ep. 2. I saw it once, didn't buy it, thought I'd get it later. Yeah right. *slap slap....bad Kimmy*

Have a good day in town Nancy! *Still waiting for you to stake out that salon for my little Christmas present*

Karen, a quiet day at the office sounds nice. Hey... did you find the CDs yesterday?

Jodie is probably long gone to Williamsburg, so instead of wishing you a happy day Jodie, I'll ask how your day went. Soooo.... how did you day go? Was this the day you were meeting up with your cousin?

Sigh... well, off to get a cup of coffee. Not sure how much I ( or any of us for that matter!) will have the time to check until after the Big Day...... All of you have a wonderful time with family and friends today, eat something you shouldn't, hug someone you love, smile at a stranger and most of all... relax and have a wonderful Christmas.

[newmousecateer]

Hi YaYa's.

Kim, glad you are feeling better.

Apolonia just woke up! Could it be we stayed up too late playing? Bad grandma, baaaad.

Hope everyone has fun today. Munchkin and I are going to get the tables ready for tomorrow. DH is only working a half day and then coming home to fry up the Italian sausage patties. We'll just warm them up tomorrow.

Hi Christine! Merry Christmas!

 

[Kama89]

Posting for Kim's pleasure!!!

Have a wonderful day with the teeniest YaYa Marilyn!

ACK! I forgot to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to Christine!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS CHRISTINE!!

 

[newmousecateer]

To my YaYa Sisters and Bother

You have brought me a year of smiles, a year of tears, a year of laughter. I have made so many good friends here. I have come to know your families, know when you are up and know when you are down. There are {{HUGS}} aplenty here, more than enough to go around

We are here for each other when things go wrong, and there to cheer on when things go right. We are here during the day, and there for each other late at night.

We are a family, as much as one can be. Some may think we are an unusual bunch, but they just can't see.

That when sisters and a bother care about each other as much we, our lives are just about as happy as they can be.

Have a very Merry Christmas YaYa's.

 

[jldriscoll]

Aww Marilyn...That was nice. I was just reflecting on how much you all mean to me. If someone asks me what the highlight of 2002 is....I will have to say it was meeting all of you

(Next year ya'll have some competition....I am going to disney afterall! )

 

[yensid1071]

Hi everyone!

Just a quick note to wish you all a Merry Christmas!! Not sure how much I'll get to check in between now and Christmas, so I wanted to pass it along now. I'll be at FIL/MIL sometime tomorrow & Christmas day & I'm not sure how they'd handle me Dis'ing for a few hours. LOL!! Besides, they're on dial up I'm spoiled w/ cable modem.

Later I'll be off to see Santa Clause 2 (have a free tix & gift cert $$, so it'll be free except for the $5 small drink & $5 small popcorn. ).

I hope Santa is good to all of you!! I'll try to check in when I can over the next couple days!

Hmmmm.... I feel like tossing A Christmas Story in the DVD player again.



Yep, more ACS quotes:
"besuretodrinkyourovaltine"
"In our world, you were either a bully, a toady or one of the nameless rabble of victims."

 

[jldriscoll]

Hi Jay Have fun over the holiday.

Carol got locked out so she wanted me to tell you all hi! HI Christmas market closed yesterday, but she did get enough wool for 3 projects!! Guess she won't be needing us for awhile

Speaking of projects....Marilyn, I can't wait for the picture of your afghan!!!!

Time to turn down the pie......

 

[jldriscoll]

Alrighty....there's toffee, fudge, coconut cookies, no bake cookies, sugar cutoust ( of course )rice krispy treats, raspberry chocolate squares, cherry pie, pumpkim pie, and 2 loaves of bannana bread. Grab a fork, big glass of milk, pot of coffee and snuggle up in my kitchen!!! The feast is on.

And in RL news......my hands look like shrivled prunes from cleaning the kitchen...... Off to do somethin non productive..

 

[Marion]

You folk are too hard to keep up with! Just wanted to wish you all Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and may all your wishes come true

 

[newmousecateer]

Marilyn pulls up a chair to the kitchen table. Has a big glass of milk ready. Mmmmm, fudge, toffee, cocomut cookes, raspberry chocolate squares! OK, Marilyn eats until she gets sick!

Jennifer is a prune!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Too much RL work today!! And on top of it all, I couldn't use the computer at my workstation becuz one of the new partners' wives was using it!! She looks like a stereotypical yuppie-snob and I just stayed out of her way. Yeesh.....

Marilyn, it sounds like you had a wonderful night with our new Teeny Ya Ya! And it continues today?!! All right!!! Your little poem today certainly expressed what I've been thinking and feeling the last couple of months since I found the Ya Yas. Thanks for sharing.

HELLO, MISS APOLONIA!!! Here's a big {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} for you from Auntie Beth! Are you going to be at Babcia's on Tuesday, too? If you are, make her let you open the Staples box when it comes from UPS. It's from me and I think you will have a lot of fun with what's inside!!

Jodie, I know you're in Williamsburg right now, but expect you will be checking in later. Your poem from last night was especially lovely. Thank you! And wasn't the Christmas card in Jennifer's siggie from you? I was laughing so hard yesterday when I opened a card from a girl at church and it was that little cutie!!!!! Just too precious for words!

Oh, Jennifer!! What a way to blow my diet!! I think I may have died and gone to heaven--toffee, fudge, coconut cookies, AND raaspberry chocolate squares!!!! I'll exercise later, I promise!!! Thank you, thank you!

Merry Christmas to you too Christine! Nice clip art!

Hi, Marion! Pull up a chair and chat awhile!!

Betty, it's good to have you back with us! I hope working hasn't put you too far behind in Christmas preparations.

Karen, I'm so sorry your tummy acted up and I hope it's settling down now. I agree that it was probably too much too fast. Just take it easy and we'll coddle you through the holidays here in the Lodge.

Enjoy the movie and the visit with the inlaws, Jay! I suppose you are stocking up on film for the slumber party, huh? I rather like Marilyn's idea of the frilly nightie for you, too! That will certainly spark some interesting comments when we post your picture on the board!!!

Hi Carol-via-Jennifer! What are we making now that will keep you off the computer??!!!

Kimmie, I'm so sorry you're feeling bad. I'm sure you'll be back in the pink in no time with Apolo spoon-feeding you your meds and all!!!

Nancy, how was the "big city" on the day before Christmas Eve? Pretty crowded? Pretty decorations? Smart to park and ride the monorail!!

Elaine, I LOVE the idea of a Carribean island for the next Ya Ya house! I say we get our own private steel drum band, too! And I totally understand you wanting to watch rather than play. You can always "man" the refreshment table. That way, you'll have plenty of "ammo" when the gang gets a little too rowdy!!!

sorry if I missed anybody, it was not intentional. Love you all!!!

 

[jldriscoll]

Oooooh....good ketchup Beth!!! Happy Holidays to you! And I assure you my treats are fat and calorie free!!!

My relaxing afternoon turned into a quest for the nest book in the series Paige is reading. sooooooooo much for relaxing

Buuuuut....there was a little something at my door when I got home!!!!!

BETTY SKETTI IS THE GREATEST!!!!!!

Thank you thank you!!! Betty was my OE!!!! I open up the package and there is a round box in gold with a gold ribbon, just too pretty to open......but I do.....There inside is a GREEN FAIRY ORNAMENT!!!! My very own tag fairy!!! ......but that's not all....cutie pie christmas hair clips for petite yaya Emily, and christmas earrings for petite yaya Paige!!! (Betty, Paige has been begging me to get her Christmas earring for a couple weeks now!!! SHe's in heaven! and Emily had decided to wear green clips on christmas eve and red on christmas day!!!)......but that is NOT all!!!!......something every yaya woman needs....a pair of lime green scissors!!! with a tag that says...to use on DH "who doesn't believe" whe he interupts DIS time!!!

Wahooo Thank you Betty!!! PAige thanks you and Emily thanks you!!! Ed hasn't hooked up the thing to upload pictures so I can't share tonight, maybe later this week......

 

[Pam]

My YaYa ornament arrived today!!!!!

Karen sent me a beautiful angel figurineand a wonderful Tree of Life ornament, which is just a marvel of craftsmanship!!

The ornament has a place of prominence on the tree and the Angel is looking down at me from the mantle!!

Thank-you so much, Karen!!

Pam

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Pam I am SO glad you like the ornaments!!! I have the same angel at home on my desk. I just fell in love with her. When I saw the tree of life ornament it just said PAM to me. Noooooo nothing to do with roadkill ROFL. Im so glad they got there safe and sound and before Christmas.
