Cally, I had to post, those are Great pics!!!! DeVaughn & Dante are adorable cookie-makers - edible or not. LOL What a mess for you tho, I'm sure!

Enjoy the memories and save the pics for later-in-life bribery!

(Trust me on that)
TW - have a great time! Give Ann & Susan extra {{HUGS}} from me, ok?
Ann AND Tom!! WOW, what great news! Wasn't Tom retired?

I'm curious to know what brings him 'out' again? Who's gonna watch Holly?
TN, Betsy, Robin, you must've all been busy today, like me.

Love the holidays and BDs, hate the stress tho.
I took a mental health night off last night, knowing I had ALL the gift wrapping ahead of me this weekend. I watched a couple TIVO shows, and Kelly (sorta) & I watched Bewitched, I thought it was ok, cute. Today, I got maybe 1/2 the wrapping done.

and some laundry. At least our gifts and the Santa gifts are done, and back in hiding.

Also, I got a wonderful call from my dear, dear friend - you know - the friend you don't see/talk to much, used to be BEST friends, but you pick up right where you left off.......well, she called, and made my night! 2+ hours, and we could've talked more.

Unfortunately, her situation is worse than mine.

She actually has a king-size bed in her living room - her bed - while her husband sleeps in their bedroom!

I guess they'll NEVER invite company over anymore.

They've been married at least 20 years, and mostly miserable.

Seems strange to find myself thankful for being less miserable than her.
While I might complain, I refuse to be down about it.

It's Christmas! Time to enjoy!!
I'll be wrapping again Sunday, and lurking maybe, so drop a line, wave a

, I might be 'here'.
