I'm for my team always and 100%, don't get me wrong, but the way they play this year, they don't deserve to go. They didn't have the team they needed to all the time either, we all know that, but they didn't play like the team they needed to.

Good evening, everyone! Waiting on DH to get back from Chili's and we're going to eat a quick dinner, then I going to take a nap for a little while, then I'm off to work...blah.

I just got done wrapping the last three gifts I needed to do. I am trying to decide if I want to wrap some of the stocking gits or not. I always go way overboard (every year) with stock gifts and I know all of the gifts won't fit, so I I probably should wrap some, that way when DH can't get all of them to fit in there, the kids can unwrap those.

DH actually just pulled in the garage now. I'm going to go eat dinner. I don't get to stop back, talk to you guys tomorrow. It will be Christmas Eve. Yahhhh!

Is there snow on the ground right now in INdy?

There was but it pretty much melted today.

The euro model is usually the more reliable model but I'm really hoping for it to be wrong this time. I don't want a blizzard with 10 inches of snow and 50 to 60 mph winds!!!!! Just a couple of inches.

They said we may have that blizzard come through on Tuesday, right in the middle of Christmas! Stay safe, and merry Christmas. Hope travel conditions are alright in your neck of the woods.

Stay safe too!!!!

Okay, the macaroni salad is made. Milk chocolate pretzel bark has been made and broken apart. Chocolate, peanut butter, and butterscotch fudge has been made and is now cooling on the counters. The gingerbread whoopie pies are safely nestled in the fridge right along side the chocolate truffle mixture that is waiting to be rolled out. Whew!!! I need a break and maybe a cup or of coffee.

(the butterscotch fudge is an experiment that I'm not sure I love or would even eat more than a single piece of)

Everyone is leaving on the 26th and it will be sad to see them go,but It looks like the weather is going to be awesome this next week...WE are going to Western Md and storm after storm is going to be hitting the app mountains the next week..it will be the first time we leave the little ones with a house sitter,and we are extremely nervous about that,but this is going to be our Honeynmoon since we never really had one!! It looks like a storm is scheduled for Christmas night in Wv and up to the Northeast..but around the 29th-jan 2 looks to be awesome with snow in the forecast every day.. I hope everyone here has A great Christmas..I just realized I missed Darlene Love this year!!dang it! Oh well Just 365 days until she comes again I guess!

Have you ever made the Fuddgie Scotch Ring? I have used the recipe for at least 40 years! Yummy for a change of pace flavor! http://recipecurio.com/fudgie-scotch-ring-recipe-advertisement-clipping/

Good evening, Christmas family !!

A really nice day today. I got up when my husband left at 5:30 and stayed up. I got on and worked to make up some lines then waited to hear from the vet. Wishbone continues to respond very well to the therapy he is on and is eating like a horse. So at least it IS hopeful somewhat. I miss him so much.

I can't believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve !! Right now I am getting ready to settle in and watch The Bishop's Wife on Turner Classic Movie channel.

I'll have to try them sometime. I think I would like the butterscotch mixed in with the chocolate better. My favorite is making the fudge with Andes mints.
