Triss, I like your signature banner. I think you have all the bases covered there girl.
Tubs of cookie dough are thawed so I will be the wild woman baker tomorrow morn. Tomorrow afternoon I have some tests to take for a job I applied for. I am not all that sure I want to work for this company but I promised I would apply at what came up and this is what has came up so far.
I bit the bullet and went to the dreaded Walmart today. Got the few things I needed and had the cutest little checker. He was just a hoot. Everyone I met in there was so nice, including all the shoppers. I went around a corner and there right before my eyes was an HP printer for $35. So I bought it. Merry Christmas to me. I went to JC Penny's to get some gift certificates and they were having this giant sale. I got 3 tops for my teen for $28 (and that includes tax!). Then over to Gottschalks where I found cool cords normally $60 on sale for $14. So shopping is complete. And now it is all wrapped! Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaahoooooooooooooo!!!! Well except for the small stuff I see and think somebody just has to have.
Came home and read on here for a bit and then off to wrap and wrap and wrap. I love making all the packages so pretty. I take forever trying to make them all really special. Gosh I had fun.
Anyway, I am off to bed and a book. I am pooped!
See ya in the morn.

Pretty quiet around here tonight, huh? I imagine they all wore themselves out pretty good last night, with all that tom-foolery! It was fun though... I havent slept so well in YEARS! (The last thing I remember thinking before I drifted off was "What is your emergency", & visualizing Cindy's face, thinking God was talking to her!) Maybe going to sleep with a smile on one's face does wonders for the Seratonin levels!

It really is quiet. Here in my house to as I am the only one awake. It is the only time I can THINK and I need to think for this darn project. I cannot figure it out and cannot find anything online to help me. Might have helped if I had not lost the instructions.

It is an Invent It! Photo Calendar Kit for Print Shop. I have print shop and know how to maek the calendar part, was just hoping for some insight on doing ir right the first time. I got it a long time ago and am just now thinking my mom would love it. I cannot go looking for the software as it is in the closet where Dan and the baby are sleeping.
So I gave up and am just working on the calendar part in Print Shop, getting birthdays and all that stuff in.

Sounds like you have things taken care of then... guess I'll go find something to eat (missed dinner, cuz I almost forgot that the kids' program was tonight!) & then maybe I'll go play with graphics. Have fun. See you tomorrow sometime. Thursdays are my busy mornings, as I take a kid to Speech Therapy first thing, then since my reading group is going Caroling at a Retirement home across the street from the school, I'll go see if the other class needs any extra Language Arts help so they can have their workbooks caught up instead of having to take them home over the Christmas break.
--------------------------------------- GAWD! I don't believe what I just did! I'd been reading other pages besides this 1, & wound up posting this over in "Suing the person above Part ll"! (Then, I had to go back & sue myself for not paying attention! TALK ABOUT "DUH"!)

You can say I am dense. But a happy dense person at this point. Now you posting in the wrong forum is too funny also.
I am also headed to bed, after I go sue you. Sleep well and I will see you tomorrow.
Nite Jimmy, if you are still out there.
And everyone else, sleep well.

Well, let's see... if Triss is done being a cyber Da Vinci and Patty is done suing herself, I guess it is safe for me to offer to pour coffee now...
Pots on! Come and get it! Wake up everybody!
Well, so, you guys who sent me all manner of warm things for sleeping have caused me to have a really BIG problem now...
Now when I am sleeping I do NOT wake up three or four times a night to get out of bed to go get warm in the kitchen! I sleep right through and have no idea what time it is! So now I NEED to set that alarm clock so Maxi gets his wake up call!
Plus, now that I am not up-and-down all night, I can no longer say "I'll do thus and so the next time I am up!" Nope. Now I gotta get it done before I go to bed 'cause there is no way I am getting out of that snug place to do chores in the wee hours...
Thanks guys, you have so improved my life!
Merme

I'm trying to have a good attitude. Is it a bad attitude to say I'll be in hell for the next 8 hours? It's just a fact, not an attitude. Have a lovely day everyone.
IT'S 5 DEGREES BELOW ZERO F out there right now!!!
but... WOW was there a gorgeous MOONSET this morning!
Does anyone else notice this type of thing? Mother Nature is so grand - even is she is freezing our butts off currently! Tonight is "Full 'Long Nights' Moon" - the full moon of the winter solstice. We probably won't get to see it, as a severe snow and ice storm is headed our way for midnight through tomorrow morning, so I'm very glad to have seen it this morning!
Had to drive Amy to school a bit early today, so she could see her guidance counselor and drop that class that has been so stressful for her. When we left the garage, I could not close the door. This happens every winter when it gets so bitterly cold - we've had it fixed 3 times already, and Don has replaced the eletric door opener twice since we've lived here... it still won't work! Very frustrating!
Looks like Triss and Patty were up late last night, and Merme too before getting all cozy in her lovely new bed covers.
Sheri - chin up - it might not be as horrendous as you're expecting...
I'm finally going to brave a few stores today, after catching up here and showering.
What's on your schedule today?

Sheri...I saw a bumper sticker once that said, "I'd tell you to go to hell, but I work there and don't want to have to look at you everyday". Maybe you need one of those!

Good morning, Patty. I just now made it back...still haven't even been able to read what was posted last night or this morning. Rachel called and said Brennan was still very sick and asked me to bring some Pedialite over for him because she can't go out and get it without taking him. So, I tried to get some stuff packed up to drop at the post office on my way back.
As soon as Lola finishes eating I'm going out...and it is raining SO hard. I hate driving in the rain. The roads here get so slick when it rains...because of all the big trucks getting oil all over them.

Guess you should count your blessings, Cindy... it COULD be raining ice! Gosh, so many kids are sick these days... guess it's the season for it, huh? How are your kids this morning, Triss? (I know she's here somewhere... she was compelled to stop by the courthouse on her way over. ) Sure hope everyone is well in time for Christmas!

I stayed up way too late messing with my pics last night and have a wicked headache to show for it, or maybe it is karma for giving Patty a hard time last night And the bug is spreading, Now Dan and Zack have it. They are the last two so HOPEFULLY we can be over this thing!
Merme, I'd say sleeping is a good thing! Hopefully being warm and snug at night will help you to feel better all day long!
Sheri, I hope the day passes quickly for you and we will be here for ya tonight. Gonna miss having you around with us.
Lynne, No moon set here, too much freezing fog. Bet it was great though. Love that kind of thing.
G-Mom, Now the wrapping begins. Glad you got all the shopping part done!
Vanessa, Thinking of you at your appointment today. Hope it goes well and you like the Doc.
Cindy, Poor Brennan, How long has he been sick? Be safe out on those roads today.
Well you know what they say Patty, first things first and going to the courthouse was very important! All the kids who were sick are ok now. It the other one now, but there are no more kids to get sick so we should be about out of the woods.
Any news on the house Sarah? How was work yesterday?
Morning Fernie, all ready to bake today? Gonna share your breakfast?

I'm still one hurdle away from my house. It needs to appear that we payed the 20% down with cash for the one loan to work. So, I need a great Present from Santa, just for about two weeks. I'm sure I'll find someone.
Work wasn't as bad as I was expecting...my broker and I had a heart-to-heart, and I think we resolved a few issues. We will see.
How are you doing? Besides the headache?

Mornin' Sarah - Fernie. It's cold down here! I keep telling people, "it hardly ever freezes in Roseburg... & when it does, it only lasts 20 min". When I woke up 45 min ago it was 28*!!! Now its 30°! (thats MORE than 20 minutes!) I duuno what happened, but it looks like I won't have roses all winter now, like I did last year! Gee, maybe we'll even have snow before winter is done! (Might as well... I'm sure my roses are all dead now!

Oven is preheating and 2 doz cookies ready to bake. Starting with the lemon/cranberry. They smell so yummy! This is kosher dough and I can eat it right from the tub.....I am resisting as the cookies are going to be the last of the Christmas presents.

Ever think about being your own broker and getting that liscence as well? No sharing of your hard earned profits! Hope Santa comes through so you can get the loan. Doing good other than the headache. Coffee and Tylenol should fix it all up.
You are sounding a bit bummed about those roses Patty. Will one morning freeze really kill them?

Afternoon everyone! Mark just left to go xmas shopping for me, and normally I'd be excited but it's snowing like a blizzard and it's supposed to last all day and night.... Good thing is, he just got new tires on his truck yesterday and they're good snow ones....
He has a partial xmas list I wrote up FULL of gardening stuff....
Just had some turkey and stuffing for lunch.
I might start baking my cookies today...good cookie baking weather.
