Gack Kimmie, i am so sorry... my brain is such mush today

Bo new CD came out yesterday. Album is called "The Real Thing" Can share if needed
Santana Album been out for a while. One Bo song (love Santana though) that one is "All That I Am" Bo sings "Brown Skin Girl" Can share again if needed

And blah, well, that time of year, that's all... same crap, different year

Bethie, take care of yourself!! Please!!!! And best wishes tomorrow ith the move!

Woohoo for James! Congrats again to him John!

I had an MRI once and they almost forgot to give me my earplugs. That machine was way too loud to have to listen to it!!

Elaine...I thought our lights were the kind that when one went out that the rest stayed. I have searched to make sure there is not one missing, but if there is I can't find it. Good luck with the blahs!!

And if I were going to make up stories I would be 5' 10" and a double D!! I would also have perfect kids!!!

Getting ready to head home. Detention and tutoring are just about over. It is so funny to see how hearing kids react when they are the ones that don't understand the language!! They think the deaf kids are talking about them!! hehehe I have fun too b/c I leave my voice off!! hehehe Not to mention I have the radio on and it is playing mostly 80's stuff and of course they are not impressed with it!!

I hope to have more good tree stories before the night is out!! Back later (I hope)

You're awesome!

And blah, well, that time of year, that's all... same crap, different year

I wish there was a way to help. We're all here for you. To listen, to keep you busy, whatever helps.

 

[helenabear]

Tara, good luck with that tree!!!! I hope you find out why the one area won't light up. Silly question, is it all plugged in right?

Yeah, I can be a twit!

And if I were going to make up stories I would be 5' 10" and a double D!!

Oh and don't wish for that! Trust me, you don't want that... makes dress shopping awfully hard (and no I am not talking about the height ) However I think I would make up that I am 5'7", skinny and a nice average C. Beautiful long hair that shines like no tomorrow and the cutest little outfits in the world.

Then when y'all would see me you'd wonder who the heck that shrimp is

Thanks Kimmie... I have a "date" with her tomorrow. I will be running the riddle as usual, but I am sure I'll distract myself with knitting and watching the Dukes otherwise. Just knowing y'all are here helps more than you realize

Hey All,

Been doing some family bonding so I have been off the computer most of this week.

TC congrats to your ds!!! How wonderful!! You have every right to be the proud PaPa!!

Tara Im sorry but too funny about the tree. Been there with the tree before myself. Im hoping the prelit that we bought this year will last a few years so I dont have to swear at strings of lights for awhile LOL!!

Kimmie its so good to see you posting more. Ive missed you!

Elaine Im sorry you are feeling blah. Im here if ya wanna talk.

Karen congrats on getting heat back. Just wish they would have figured out the problem before putting you through all that.

Pam I am so sorry to hear about the accident. Everyone has been in my prayers since you posted.

RM you evil momma you....putting the gifts under the tree so early ROFL!!!! Are you making him wait until Christmas Day?

Beth Im so sorry to hear about your knee. I hope it isnt too serious and that you wont need surgery.

Nancy whatcha planning on doing while you are in LV?

Hey Lily how are you?? How is the wogging going? Are you still having to use the treadmil because of the weather?

Everything I post is true although I dont post as much as I used to. There are a lot of times I start to post and hit the back button.

I hit the 26 pounds down mark today!! Whats neat is people are starting to notice it. Jane said something to me about a week ago and my bosses wife keeps commenting on it. Feels good.

Planning on spending some nice quiet time at home during the holiday. We were supposed to go to BIL and SIL's house on the west coast for christmas eve day but decided against it. I dont think we are too popular this year because this is the second set of BIL's and SIL's that we have said no to but we just need some down time on the limited time we have off during the holidays. The other set wanted us to meet them in St. Augustine mid week.

Welp gotta go eat. We had a meeting at church so thats why din din is so late.

HUGS TO ALL!!!

The DIS is driving me crazy
I seem to time it right to get "server busy" all the time
Now I need to go get dinner going.

Elaine.

Gone all day tomorrow from very early until pretty late...and then get to deal with the traffic trying to make my way back.

 

[helenabear]

Nancy, you and me both! I am done with the DIS for the night because of that
Thanks for that hug! I hope you have a good day tomorrow!

Enjoy the quiet time with the family, Karen!

I think we have our Christmas plans done up. We'll do midnight mass and wake up early enough to go have Christmas dinner with my grandma and aunt (live about an hour or so away). Then when my sister returns from N. AL, we'll have a smaller dinner on the 27th.

I'm happy to know that Luis has the 26th & the 27th off... he just told me today. Kind of nice to have him around that much

 

[isyne4u]

Okay gang,
I'm calling it a night too. I got home from tutoring, picked up some KFC, had dinner and then went grocery shopping. I am now ready for Christmas morning breakfast! woohoo!!

I was going to work on the tree but I'm pooped! So i decided to go to bed early and work on it tomorrow.

Remember how I said we were removing light bulbs so we could put that string on the tree?? Well, my mom found a box that I moved last night that had written on it very clearly "LIGHTS" Yep, found another box filled with brand new boxes of strings of lights. DOH!!! Spent two hours last night moving lightbulbs only to find that I could have had the whole darn tree done last nigh!!! Oh well, I suppose then I wouldn't have had anythign to talk about!!

Elaine as for the D's...Let's just say I wouldn't mind giving it a shot to see how miserable I would be!!!

good night gang!!

Hi Ya Yas!

John, great news that there are choices!

Elaine, hope you get through the blahs.

Karen, wonderful news about melting away.

Tara, glad your mother found "the light" and now you too have come into the light!

Tired some. We had to go on the pre Christmas exchange. I got 2 things wrong sizes for my men so DH and I made the rounds to correct the oops. Then we just had to stop off at Starbucks...peppermint mocha. Mmmmm!

Off I go, tra la la. Did my TM before we went out so I don't have to do it b4 bed. Going to read. I'm on Four to Score finally!

 

[lvs_eeyore]

Morning All,

I fell asleep very early last night so thats why Im up now. Been reading the boards and having a cuppa. Just got all teared up and posted on the who are you missing thread. Sure do miss my parents especially this time of year as it was Moms favorite holiday. Didnt realize just how much I was holding that in until I read that thread. I know some may think this is silly or weird but I have finally decided that its time for Mom and Dad to come home. We have their ashes in a niche at a church we no longer attend. It is impossible to get over there to visit the niche because of their hours. Both dh and I have felt badly since we stopped going to that church about not being able to visit Mom and Dad. I talked to the people at the church a couple of months ago about this but with all that went on with the hurricane and all I didnt persue it. Now I am going to. I have to see what is involved in it as Im sure I will have to pay for a granite slab to go back over the niche as theirs is engraved. Dh and I have a place to put the urns and we plan on putting a picture of Mom and Dad between the urns on that recessed shelf. Dh is totally with me on this as he wants their ashes here also. Im going to call today and see whats involved.

Well I just heard dh's alarm go off so it must be 5 AM. Better get dressed and then get my eldest up for school. I will checkin laters today.

HUGS TO ALL!!!!

Morning all! Sleepy today and after a while I might catch a nap. Just had to get up to do my usual riddle

Tara, glad you got the light situation worked out now... soo..... do you have a pic yet?
And I'll let you borrow mine, I doubt I would miss that size for a while

Now Lily mentions the mocha... I might have to get that after I run errands today.

Karen, sorry you were feeling that way. Can't say I don't understand though. I feel the double whammy since today is the anniversary and my mom was so into Christmas. Not much for posting about it on threads like that though... doesn't do me good to go very public like that much.

I do think I am going back to sleep for a while. See y'all later!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Morning Ya Yas!

Karen, that is an early morning you had there.

Elaine, enjoy the covers. With the dogs, even if I could they won't let me sleep in much.

Holidays and missing loved ones, anniversaries and such...I'm with ya all on that. Just make the best that can be and never forget. I figure for me it's ok to feel as long as I can get on and find something happy to move toward after. That is how all my family/friends would want it. (some days are just a bit more difficult than others is all)
Thanks to all my friends for being here for sure.

 

[helenabear]

Thanks Lily, i think I am about to go back under them. I was hoping for the rain/sleet to melt the snow we had. Instead we are getting more snow. So, my trip for the day is off.

And I agree with a lot of what you said. If I find joy shortly after all is good... some days are just a heck of a lot harder than others...

 

[isyne4u]

Good morning gang...

Karen...sorry to hear you have been feeling under the weather. I hope you feel better soon!

Lily...what is TM?? I think I must be losing it b/c I can't think for the life of me what it means! (but then again that's not saying much!) Speaking of the lights....I have always wondered why people say they can see the light at the end of the tunnel...doesn't that mean there is just another train there waiting to take you out????

Elaine...good luck with the winter blahs! I think I have figured out mine....i've haven't taken my meds in almost a week!! duh! I was beginning to think I was losing my mind (no comments from the peanut gallery!!)because every commercial is making me cry! So I will have to take them this afternoon so that I get better before the weekend!! hhehehehed

Okay, for the next chapter in my life check out why I should have stayed in bed this morning .

Okay, off to pretend to work!!

tara

 

[Meriweather]

Good morning.

Headed out to fight traffic real soon, but wanted to stop in.

to all missing loved ones. I'm there too
But like, Elaine, I don't post on those threads.

Have a good one all. I am going to play with my best bud and look at the downtown decorations and JEWELRY

 

[isyne4u]

bump here!!

tara

 

[kimmar067]

Bo/Santana info! Someone! Pleeeeease! I don't think I can hold out much longer! Going to post an Apolo picture every hour on the hour until someone tells me somethin'....

Like, that's a BAD thing??!?!?

Chatty? Me? Uh oh. Is 7 posts in a month too much? Sorry. I'll cut down. **Oops! ETA: ELEVEN posts?! I HAVE been chatty! Eeep! **

You KNOW how Todd feels about those l-o-o-o-o-ng posts....

 

[helenabear]

Quick hi... cold and want to get a hot shower

Tara, I do know where mine come from as well. This is one of those "hey y'all in case you didn't know because I don't always talk about it much" moments.

My general blahs always stem from one thing. 12 years ago today my mom died. Yeah, I still feel cheated out of time with her, and yeah it hurts nearly as much as it did when I was 16. People say let go, but I can't. So I'm blah this year. To add to it, there are things going on at home (nothing bad I promise) that are just stirring up more emotions.

So I sucked it up and braved the slush (at this point it isn't raining, it isn't snowing... it is literally slushing) and visited my mom with the same thing I've brought for 12 years now... a single long stemmed red rose.

So there's my blah moods... forgive me please. I have good moments and bad.

I'm off to warm up... still cold outside especially when standing out in the middle of it all w/ no shelter.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Elaine,

Tara, Thanks for the laughs. Your thread is cute!

kimmar067, nice pic.

Ohno! I almost forgot to relate this story. I immediately thought of my Ya Ya sistahs too. We were in Best Buy looking for Mom's gift. As we were going past the TV display, there it was...a program with him plastered on ALL of the sets. Someone would have fainted I'm certain. It was fun to think of "home" here.

 

[Towncrier]

One thing that I am certain of is that there are no words that I could say to make you feel better, Elaine. So I'll just offer another
