On the Southwest site, you download "Ding". When the "Dings" come out, your computer will make the "Ding" sound.

    A friend got a "Ding" from Seattle to Orlando for $49.00 one way...you CANNOT beat that.

    I am still trying to convince DH that going in Dec 2008 to see the Christmas stuff is on my agenda but he is not convinced. DS18 DS16 and DD11 are very keen!
    Sorry I am of the messy house side and many times I do not wash the clothes daily! Amazing that the family survives and does not get sick!!
    Off to start the shopping see you all later!!

It can get very weary at times......

    Mickey- you are killing me with this shopping and wrapping thing. Is it ever hard for you to see all of these gifts in your house waiting to be put under a tree or given to someone? For those that want to solicit aid from Mickey and MM maybe MM will work for beer and Mickey will work for brownies.HeHe!
    My house is still a mess. No cleaning fairy for the kids rooms today. Instead I had to go to the dentist to pick up a note for DD's school so they can excuse her missed instruction yesterday. We discovered she has 5 cavities. :( (she brushes her teeth twice a day. apparently not good enough.) The good news is they are all baby teeth so we don't need to fill them since they are due to fall out. I do have to get her molars sealed with sealant. I will do the same for her adult teeth that come in. Well I guess I should pick up some clutter in my house before it becomes worse. Villians hopefully we can meet at Ritas or something to get MM picture along with anyone else who might be there on that day.

    See MM finishing early isn't always a good thing.

    Well back from starting my present buying and think I bought for 8 people which is a great start. No wrapping though as the drive to the mall or shopping centre is 1 hr and 10 mins each way. I live in a country town with 8000 people so the shopping is limited but I try and buy local where I can.
    Have to go to w**k tomorrow and these funds will go to our trip in Jan.
    Read you tomorrow

    TQ - Wow, you got 8 people done. That was quite a productive day. I live in a country town smaller that yours. We have less than 3000 people, but we have a Walmart 15 minutes away and a couple of malls about 30 minutes away and I visit these places often so I don't have any excuse.

    Mater - I think you are definitely the President of the procrastinators although waiting to shop at DL sounds like a good idea to me. So what is the present you want your DH to get you from DL? I can't wait and do my shopping at DL as <<tears flowing now>> I won't be able to be there <<sniffling>> at DL when all of you guys are. You will have to have a drink for me.

    I do have a couple of things bought, but only one person done. I thought I might go shopping this weekend, but then I remembered...this is race weekend. I don't know if any of you follow Nascar, but this weekends race is at the track really close to my house. When I am outside, I can hear the cars zooming around the track. It is impossible to go anywhere that weekend. I will swing by the store on my way home tonight to get supplies to make sure I don't need to venture out this weekend.

    Finishing early gives me the opportunity to get a head start on NEXT year, villains. I've already got 8 or 10 things put away for next year. Double neener neener.

    TX...we will have a support group for those of us not going to DL this month, so dry your tears.

    We had a very quiet Halloween. DH and I made up a big feast of tacos, and I watched my spook show that was on from 6 to midnight. DH was sleeping on the sofa by 8:15. I had to pop him upside the head a time or two because he started snoring. He wouldn't go to bed because he said he didn't want me to get scared...his snorin' is scarier than my spook show.

    TQ...too bad you don't celebrate Halloween there...it's kinda fun.

    Hey, MM, have you noticed that we seem to be pulling more and more over to the LIGHT side and out of the darkness? I think we should feel accomplished. Except for Tink--- that gal isn't budging. So sad....

    Okay, totally off on a new tangent--- since we've shared almost everything else about ourselves on here....

    Can anyone recommend a good eye corrective treatment/cream? For Christmas I want to give myself the gift of making my crowsfeet disappear, or at least fade a little! *sigh* The only good thing about them, atleast this is what I tell myself, is that it means I smile often-- and if I must have wrinkles, at least they are caused by happiness!

    Okay, so I have just left myself wide-open for MM's wisecracks. :p

    Hey...I'm gonna be 50 in February...I don't make jokes about crow's feet.

    My sister swears by Oil of Olay Regenerist. I've also heard that something called Strivectin (spelling?) is amazing, but it's kinda spendy. I suppose if it works, and it's cheaper than a facelift, what the heck. I've used the Regenerist stuff, but I'm not overly dilligent about it. When I WAS, it seemed to make a difference, though. I have the laugh lines, too...plus, I've been a sun worshiper since birth, and I squint often because I refuse to wear my contacts. Put that all together, and I have the laugh lines goin' on. I'd try the Regenerist stuff first and see if it does anything.

    Here's the trouble part - I found out yesterday that the Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana concert opened more ticket availablity - well I looked yesterday and all the tickets were kind of behind the stage so really no interest in watching the back of her head!! But for some reason I checked again today and guess what we got really good tickets...So I guess DD9 and I are off to see Hannah Montana!! DD doesn't know yet - I am not sure if I will tell her right after school - or when we are on our way!! DH is going to just roll his eyes!!

    See, diligence pays off! Good for you Villians. You win the Mommie-of-the-Day award! *hands over trophy*
