Am I too late for the pines!? I always come to the party too late....insomnia be dammed!!!! I went to sleep at 730 and woke up in a thunderstorm at 9! I tried on my dress clothes for the visitation and funeral the next 2 days and My pants don't fit so I have to take them back in the morning..I always use to wear 32 waist 32 legnth but now the last few years that is too long..guess I am shrinking! I bought some candles that smell like apple cinnimon and boy they are smelling the whole house up...poor brandi says it's making her want to throw up though
I think it smells good. Have a good night everyone!

Oh and I just passed 12k posts....can't believe I talk that much!
I think I will try again to go to sleep. I may be back in an hour or two..goodnight everyone!
I'm back! here by my lonely I see...I dozed off and on for an hour then decided to get up,I am not going into work the next 2 days therefore I am offically off until the monday after thanksgiving. I have a ton of stuff to do today,so I really needed sleep,I will be so tired by tonight when I am at the funeral home visiting with friends and family of my good friend. I have been in much tougher positions before though so this should not be that bad.
I need to clean the kitchen before brandi gets up,I have put that off long enough..guess I will talk to yall later in the day!

cheesy:...
there you go again. with this eggnog lol i have the recipe now and boy am i gonna get it s shot over the next few days lol
Been a long one for me today, the electrician and his crew finished up the rewiring today, house is still a mess from the work but been working cleaning up and putting things back in place this evening. I did get a new outlet put outside per advice of RJD, looking forward to using it for Christmas lights! It will come in handy too next summer to recharge my weedtrimmer too!
Thats great. the clean up can be hateful but now your electric is safe and you have a outdoor socket but you will tell me is a god sent
(((hugs Neil))) I hate when I have nights when I can't sleep.
Anyhoo, I have 48 hours to pack up my things--thankfully, I have 8 items already in the suitcase.
I'm still picking a HUGE fight with my insurance/pharmacy/doctor's office for one medicine I've been trying to get for over two weeks!! :x

I did get about 2 hours of sleep finally so I feel better! Just think, we are one week away from turkey day! I am still looking forward to thanksgiving,I am anxious to see how my dad will be doing by that day...I do hope he can be home for christmas! Now if I can just get through these next 2 days I will be doing good! have a good morning everyone!
That is part of being pregnant. Certain smells just kill you! After she has the baby it probably won't bother her.I bought some candles that smell like apple cinnimon and boy they are smelling the whole house up...poor brandi says it's making her want to throw up though
Congratulations!!!!
I hope it all gets sorted out for you!
I hope he will be doing better by then!

Morning friends! Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas season after the first visit to the Pines!
Been on the run this week, basketball games are consuming a lot of my time, and will for the next 4 school nights...then it will slow down for me as my rotation in the duty passes to someone else for a short while.
Bout to head out and get the day started, but I just wanted to tell all of you hello! Hope to see everyone tonight, but it might be Saturday due to traveling to games.....until then....Merry Christmas!

I was wondering where you been! Good to see you and hope life slows down a bit so you can check in more! =)
I am just getting WAY TOO excited that Thanksgiving is next week!!! We will have 3 straight days of celebrating! Thanksgiving with the family, Black Friday (no shopping but enjoy the Christmas entertainment at the malls) and Saturday chill in front of the tv for a marathon of Christmas shows and movies! It will feel like a 3 day Christmas party!

Good Morning, friends~
Hope you're doing well this morning!
I really didn't want to get out of bed, just wanted to throw the covers over my head, rest, and watch Christmas movies all day!
How's everyone doing with their Christmas shopping? I really need to kick it into gear. I haven't done much yet.
Our company Holiday Party is the week before Christmas this year. Our company always sponsor a charity or school, we make a generous donation, as well as volunteer our time. It's really quite wonderful. One year, we went to a low income school and did crafts with the kids, read books to them, and a friend of mine played Santa-it made their day! They all wrote a letter to Santa, and we each sponsored a child to try & make that wish come true. To see their eyes light up like that was truly amazing. I think I have a picture from that day somewhere, if I find it I'll post it :smile:
Anyways, need to start getting ready for work. Just wanted to pop in & say hello!
Have a great day!
