Morning all! I've been lurking, but have bgeen crazy busy with work so haven't had a minute to post. So here's a quick post to comment to everything you folks have been chatting about. Looks like I've been missing lots of fun!
Like GPs wife, I am also twice the woman that any of those Victoria's Secret models are... Put two of them together and you've got my size!
I was going to make roast beef last SUnday, but saw DU's post about lasagna and said Yum! So we had lasagna instead.
WHile we're on the food subject...love yogurt, except plain or strawberry. Hate meatloaf so refuse to participate in any taste test. When I was a kid Mom would make it one week and Dad would make it the next, then they would ask us to judge whose was better. I always told them they were both horrible!
I cannot stand black licorice..except in good and plenty and I absolutely

good and plenty

That has always confused me. ALong the same lines I don't like melon and I don't like prociutto, but put them together as an appetizer and I love it!
We have Nestle's Crunch Bars in the stores here!
SO glad to hear that DISMAMA is going to go ahead with the procedure!

That must be a huge relief.
Haven't even started my cards yet!

But I'll get them done and out in time for CHristmas. Of course I gotta figure out what I'm going to make this year! Hey there is plenty of time.
Cally~ I think that elf video is adorable. I couldn't stop laughing. I hope Roger does get to see that!
I think I'm going to switch work schedules with DU! I am working day and night from now until the 21st. I usually have 2 night work meetings a month. This month I have 3 every week! The nights I don't have meetings I have kids activities...concerts, spaghetti dinners, basketball games (but I like doing all of that stuff, at least it is family time!)
Kim~ do you still want to come and work with me...please?
I do intend to take Christmas week off (unless the kids drive me crazy!)
I get a bit of a break next THursday. I am going on a field trip with my daughter to see Cirque de SOleil "WIntuck" at Madison Square Garden!

I'm definitely looking forward to that.
My favorite new show this year is "Reaper" on TUesday nights. It cracks me up!
The "SOund of Music" is the first movie I ever saw in the Theater! Still a favorite of mine!
DU~ Do you have a thing for Barbra? You seem to watch alot of her movies

(Did ya ever date her?

) I love Steisand movies too!
I am now a chaise potato! GOt one last January when we got new living room furniture. Talk about comfy!

I never much cared where I sat before, but now everyone in my family knows that the chaise is Mommy's! Kinda like Archie Bunker's chair!
Our snowstorm Sunday was a bust! We only got a dusting and then some sleet. THe kids had a 2 hour delay on Monday. They were very disappointed. They were planning on having a snow day! We did put up the tree on SUnday and that was nice with the somewhat wintry weather!
DU~ Seeing as you do such a good job with Birthday shopping, mark your calendar...my Birthday is January 12th. That only gives you a little over a month to shop, but seeing as you have all that time off, you should be ok!
Brenda, loved your scrapbook pages!
Oh yeah we did go cut down our tree Saturday. It was freezing! I bet it was in the teens with the wind chill factor, because the wind was whipping! But those City tailgaters were there! We left the tree farm about 3:30. There was a group there that had an outdoor fireplace thingy with them. Looked brand new, I figure they stopped at home depot or somewhere on their way up from Manhattan. Well they had so much wood in that thing. I'm sure they had no idea that it was loaded with about 4 hours worth of wood!

I figure they had to be there until at least 7:30 that night for the fire to go out! ANd then you have to wait for it to cool before you load it into the car!
Everybody~

ya!
