I'd like to 2nd the vote for Tara to post a pic of Jarrod's new train table!!! Sounds like he made out like a bandit!! And momma didn't do so bad either!
A Tiffany bracelet for Liz??!!!!

Doin' the happy dance for you!!
PoohSuzanne got a KitchenAid blender and is makin' rumrunners

Sounds great, I'll be right over!!! What can I bring? Hope today isn't to awful for you--I'm not goin' anywhere near that mall!
Lily is domestically challenged and yet she cooked for company and they are still here to tell about it!

Right on, girlfriend!! BTW, if all else fails, call Boston Market!! How's the sick DS feeling? Some people are really having a nasty time with this flu! Hope he's better soon. Oh, and I wasn't jealous of you working today either, since I worked too.......
but I snuck out early since there was nobody else there and the only phone call we got in 6 hours was a wrong number!
CS, I am sooooo jealous that you got the HP books in hardback!! I've been wanting those!! Oh well.....maybe next year. Have a ball picking out your DVDs! Did DBF make it in? What did he bring you??????
Aww, Von! Sorry to hear your love life is a little rocky right now. Been thru the same thing before, myself. Just be sure it's not the "allure of the unattainable" that is behind your feelings for the roommate. Good luck and keep us posted!
Kristy, that is so neat that you got your papasan chair. I like the sound of your eventual decorating plans, too! That is cool that you exchange gifts with your ILs via phone. So much nicer when you can share the love and excitement!
Laine, so glad your furbabies enjoyed their gifts and you got all your visits in! How's the snow there now? Have you sent any snow our way yet? If so, it hasn't arrived
Rose Mary!!! How awful to have your DH end up in the hospital on Christmas!! Good grief!! He just got out a few weeks ago after the gall bladder surgery, didn't he?!! LOTS and LOTS of prayers and PD headed your way, my friend. How goes the housing situation? Were you able to get into your house?
And Deena's got the tunes rockin' at her house!! You MUST post us a pic of your little ones in their Nemo shirts! They sound adorable!!
So, Pam--were you able to add to your light-up menagerie?! Some of those wire sculptures are so nice and others look like junk. One of the houses down the street from us has the junk and I cringe every time we come by.
Shep is workin' too but is earning double time!! LOL!!! Dave is too!! But he didn't volunteer, it's just the way the schedule worked out. Sorry about your MIL, it's so, so hard to deal with this stage. Ya feel so helpless and want to do something and can't.

for all of you and don't feel like a jerk about Mandy's birthday. Just remember the Circle of Life.......and poor little Mandy doesn't understand it all. She just knows it's her birthday.
NANCY!!!!! We've been waiting on the update on your DS and his GF!!!! Is she officially your daughter-in-law-to-be now??!! How did it go and how did her family react?? This is better than a soap opera--it's REAL!! So give us the next chapter, already!!! And I can't believe you managed to wait all this time to use your new printer. Be happy to share what little I know about making iron-ons for t-shirts. Let me know if you want to chat "LIVE" I have free long distance on my cell phone! And I can definitely help with the creative bookkeeping to make sure you get to DL next summer!! Step number one, skip the tatoo, save your $$ for July!
Well, I guess I better start thinking about something for dinner. See
