I usually say I'm tired and head for home !!!! LOL But I'm really doing well, and can walk a little on my own but not well enough that I feel comfortable.Was hoping to go to go to dl for our anniv but decided it"s not worth it, Dave said we"ll just postpone it until I'm ready to walk. Only need a couple more things and I'm done shopping.thank goodness their are just small things !! Amazed thats great news about your mom, what an awesome lady she is,but I also think the love that you and your family give her are a blessing to her too. I would love any Christmas movies and some hot coco with lots of whipped cream pleas !!!!

I think postponing the anniversary trip is a perfect idea. After all the whole year is your anniversary Does anyone here like the movie "Christmas with the Kranks?" The first time we saw it I thought "eh" but it's grown on me and now I think it's hysterical. The Cocoa and Coffee bar is fully stocked. I added some little pastries and cookies that I picked up in Solvang. Help yourself Does anyone like the

I can't imagine taking my DH shopping with me. I actually did a lot of my shopping online this year. I should have my last two gifts arrive by tomorrow. I was geting a little worried about one as it was an advance order, but they kept delaying the ship date. I did however realize today that I did manage to forget to send one out of towner a gift. If my head wasn't attached, I would forget it these days.

Well it's getting to be dusk or "ducks" as my grandson calls it so "spirits" and appetizers are being served. I'm almost done with my wrapping "cue DH to do a little rapping music"....... except for what my oldest DD has purchased for me that I won't get until Christmas Eve. She is a super coupon/sales shopper and has offered to be my personal shopper this week
Originally Posted By murfsmom I finished my wrapping today except for a couple stocking stutters.I did do shopping online,that was a big help! I love the movie Christmas with the Kranks,funny you should bring that up Amazed,I was just getting that out to watch last night. One of my other favorites is TheBishops Wife.

I have seen just a little bit of Christmas with the Kranks as it was on at a restaurant we were eating at, but it had no sound. It looked like it would be funny. I'll have to try and catch it this year. I know my DS said that was one of his favorite Christmas movies.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I don't recall ever seeing "The Bishops Wife" and in another thread I said I don't think I've ever seen "Meet Me in St Louis".....I guess I need to catch up So good to see you murfsmom!

Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS Glad to see the plane is all decorated. It looks great in here, and the smell of those baked goods is heavenly! Boy, has it been a crazy last few weeks. With a 90th birthday party, work issues, and other "suprises" it's a wonder I haven't camped out on the nearest secluded island just to get some peace and quiet! One good thing happened to us last week that ended up not being so good after all. A few years ago the company I work for had to cut our pay by 5% just to survive. After we had four rounds of layoffs, a pay cut wasn't so bad. Well, we got a new lender, and our company decided to reimbursed us for that pay. But, they taxed us as if it was a bonus, not a reimbursement. So over half of our money was gone. At least I got a new washing machine and dining room table out of it all. Enough about me - here's wishing all of you a wonderful Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza or whatever you are celebrating. Remember family is important...mend those issues this holiday season and that will be the best present you can give.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 12 hour shifts? Hmm, I think some cookie baking is in order. I haven't baked since my kids left home so it's time I give it another go. What shall we make? Sugar cookies? Gingerbread? Snowballs? Something with chocolate?
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 My sister makes these great chocolate crackle cookies I'll get her recipe if no one on the plane has it. Oh I think I see a box of Sees candy has appeared.....mmmm chocolate!!!!!
Originally Posted By smedley Mmmmmm see's candies (some lovely person sent me some this year ) Butterscotch for me please. The chocolate crackle cookies sound fab! I am here at work again, had very little sleep, gonna be a long old day.

Originally Posted By murfsmom OH NOOOOO,not green bean casserole ! Sorry,I just can eat that,I like each of the ingrediants but just not mixed together. Hope everyone had a nice Christmas,we did.I think we need to have a petition started for Smeds so she won't have to work on any holidays!! I've been walking with one crutch,and doing some walking around the house on my own but still not ready for dl.I cancelled my revs the other day, made me depressed this will be the first anniv/ NewYears that we have not been to dl in I can't even remember when! But we'll just go when I feel confident enough to take on the crowds.
