Finally! Social Security day, I wasn't sure I was going to make it this month. Guess what i am doing this morning? Paying bills. Wheeeeee!

I am also scheduled to spent the day finishing as many of the baskets as I can. i am so aggravated. Some of the supplies I needed were supposed to be here yesterday and they never made it. They better be here today or I am gonna be way behind schedule.

My BFF asked me how things were going and I said to her:
Actually, I need to be honest -- I am pretty much doing "ok"- tree is up, house is decorated, 95% of my shopping is done and 90% of my gifts are wrapped. I have all day tomorrow to work on my baskets which are about 75% percent done. Baking is barely started but I am free this weekend to work on that. See, its not too bad, its just the point of not having anything actually *done* that is making me feel cranky.

That doesn't sound too horrible, right?

How are all of you? getting closer to being all set?

Laurie- how awesome that your ds is house sitting for you. And good call, to wait until you get back to clean ;)
I know what you mean about having a bad association. I got car sick once when I was little and I had been drinking grape juice. Can't stand the smell of that stuff ever since then.

Phyllis- any more news? I've been worrying for you about your grandson. Did the shopping get your mind empty?
I'll have to check out that movie, I wonder if it is on Netflix? I love Its a Wonderful Life so that one might be a good recommendation for me.

Hi Donna- sending hugs back to you!

Maureen- how did Dick do over night? It sounds like he is in very capable and caring hands. Can't ask for more than that. Have a safe trip back home. How is your back and hip?

Trudy- ummm..... is that a compliment about your FIL reminding you of the dad in a Christmas Story? or does your FIl have a potty mouth?? hahahahah!!!
Good luck getting all of your shopping and decorating done.

Sally!!! Recipe please!!!!!!

Hi j!!

WWW:
I wish I was somewhere warm!
I wish someone would come and clean my house for me.
I want to get these darn baskets done and wrapped today!!!!

:;grouphug
 
Still haven't done the meat balls for Christmas - that's on my schedule today. It's not that much work - it's just boooooring to roll them all. Also - I need to plan the rest of the shopping & cooking for Christmas.

Things I want to do today:
- make another ornament ball (want a pair). It's printed, I need to cut and assemble.
- work on a couple of LOs - started a mini project with Ju's new goodies.
- finish a crochet project for the kitchen. There's draft by the window, and I'm just making a pair of simple tubes that I will fill with rice for the windows. Won't be beautiful but it will work :)

Oh, I wish it was Christmas Day already - everything is over and you can start to relax :)
 
Chris, you are so far ahead of me it's SAAAAADDD!!!! i think today has to be the day i empty my closet to get at the cubby hole door, crawl in there, and get out The Christmas Stuff. eeep....

Grandman #2 is, probably as i write this, going in for another dr.'s appointment, which will hopefully be the end of all this testing and the appearance of some data about where all this came from. my DIL is supposed to let me know how it turned out. no idea what time that will be. so, again. i wait.

well. yep. better get started on emptying the closet and getting to The Christmas Cave. :mmph:

:hurt:


have a swell day, O-zers.
 
Morning ladies... Soooo dark and chilly here this morning!! No :smow: yet so we will most likely not get any real white stuff until after Christmas. (now you watch it will snow like crazy!!) 3 more sleeps and we go to pick up DD and her Boyfriend at the Airport Hooray!!!! It will be so nice to have her home again! She has promised to do some of the baking for me so double Hooray!! Short day for me and then off to downtown shops to look for something for DD.

Chris - Most of my prezzies are bought except for a little extra for DD and I also have to get stocking stuffers for the guys. Yuk I hate buying stocking stuffers!! Calendars are still a work in progress as I did so much shopping yesterday and then got the rest of the decorating done, by the time I looked at the clock it was supper time and then I was too pooped to even sit at the computer Darn it!! :mmph:

Eva - Could you do out a meal plan for me too?? I am so terrible at planning meals and then I wander around the grocery store wondering what the heck to buy!! So not like my MIL I think she plans out every meal for a month at a time, so does my DD but she is on such a tight budget that she has to, it saves her a lot of money... all you planners are so smart!!

Phylis - Hope you get all your goodies out of the Christmas Cave LOL!! Wishing you good thoughts today and hopes of great news about your grandman!! :hug: to you!

Well better get a move on or I will be late for work Ugh!! Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!! :wave:
 
Oh, I'm only planning the Christmas dinner - nothing else. I never know what to cook an hour before dinner time LOL

Christmas dinner on the other hand - that's more like religion - have to be taken very serious :)
 
Afternoon, sweet friends!!!

I made my list this morning, and it's not too bad either, but Chris, I'm with you on the "everything is ALMOST done" life!! I have to tie up a bunch of loose ends with my 12 days!

I have to admit something!! When the CheeryOs started planning the digital 12 days here at the O (which, btw, was/is STUNNING!!!), all I could think was...and I was planning on doing one of these runs by myself??? LOL!! Well, I got some help, as you can see today, but I'm still reveling in it all! Not stressed out YET!! LOL!!

I get to START my christmas shopping tomorrow...payday! LOL!! Because of our Nov splurge, we'll keep it modest, of course!! LOL! But it'll still be fun!!

I'm off right now to a mock spelling bee with my darling two younger girlies. I'm going to sew through it all...and then we are going to the park to just ENJOY!!! :)

love you all!! have a WONDERFUL wednesday!!! yipeeeeee!!
 
well --- I got the meatballs done ... then I got stuck in my genealogy, and nothing else has been done. But ... I had fun researching, so I'm ok with that :)
