shudder...that would be a "quick hit the mute button" commercial for me.

I frequent Cumberland Farms almost daily, they have posters and cardboard cutouts of "The Hoff" everywhere, at least he is not taking himself seriously. cheesy

Here's a little taste of what you're missing, my friend.

I took this photo in western Oklahoma, about an hour and a half from my house in the Wichita Mountains.

This one I took in Colorado, not far from the cabin my grandfather built:

Okay...I'll stop dreaming now...back to my desk and to work. :wink: But you should head west sometime; it is beautiful!

Beautiful!!!!

I am sure we will at some point, probably after we can finally get the boys to Disney World first. I've been there twice, including for our honeymoon. It is our favorite place to go.

I want to go to Las Vegas, California, Yellowstone Park, and so on.

Good morning everyone! Thank you all for the laughs this morning. Just checking in before heading to bed.

I was to stay and work 12 hours today, but they decided they needed me more tonight and are probably going to have me come in at 7.

EA started a new classroom today. She started Pre-K. My kids are growing up too fast.

Well, I am off to get some sleep. Talk to you guys later on. Hope you all have a great day. God Bless and keep smiling!

P.S. Who am I to blame? Oh yes...Santa and Rudolph...it's all their fault! Just remember that...all of you! :lol:

Good Morning everyone hope all is well in everyone's households. Last night was pretty long night poor little girl Harper was sick all night so she just tossed and turned and coughed all night long. So every time she coughed i woke up and checked on her and would try setting her up a little higher on the pillow so it would help a little. Other than that it was a pretty good evening, saw lots of cool Halloween stuff last night,

I hope she is feeling better.

I showed my wife the video, and she just shook her head and said "What is wrong with you?" :lol:

How didn't she think that was funny?

Reading your news this morning and keeping you all in my thoughts.

I posted a new afghan sale last night, again to benefit Santa's Sleigh. The afghan was inspired by Louann---cats and dogs and Christmas colors.

Hoping there'll be a chat on Christmas Chatter sometime this weekend. I love to "talk" with you.

Beautiful!!! You always do a great job!

I haven't given an update on my niece lately. Her arthritis had been starting to go into remission but over the last couple of months the infusion med she was on has seemed to stop working. I guess it's pretty common with this med after a year. So today she starts an even stronger med and it's effects are pretty scary. It will almost completely suppress her immune system. So if you guys could keep her in your thought's, I'd appreciate it.

She is in my thoughts!!!

Our Saturday at Fenway is looking better and better! We'll be seeing two friends we haven't seen for a little over a year---they accepted our invitation to join us (Mr. was given four free tickets). So far the weather forecast looks good. It's only a minor-league game (they do this once a year---it's called Futures at Fenway), but we have access to a luxury box, and it's always a good time. (We have to buy our own food and beverages, though.)

I hope you have a great time!!

I really need to remember to look that up early in the season, I am dying to get my boys to Fenway. I can still remember the first time I saw the left field wall (Green Monster) in person. Having a Fenway frank in the park, and an Italian sausage outside the park. I still get chills when I walk into the old ballpark.

Cuz, she lives with me. I think she is sick of my sophomoric jokes. cheesy

Home again, moms laser surgery went well and she is now home again too and resting. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

We had fun going through some thrift stores, all I found this time was a great buy on Canadian Geographic and Our Canada magazines for only 10cents each. These are excellent magazines full of good articles and stories.

My brother changed the oil in my van and fixed a few things, it is running smooth again. I love my brother!

I guess everyone is different, but I would find it hilarious. I love humor. You can joke with us here, instead! :lol:

I've heard Memphis has some rough ol' areas! Someone told me Graceland is actually in one!

I had to go to Memphis for work once. DH went with two of my female co-workers & me. We drove to Graceland after dark & had to stop for gas. DH filled the tank for my female co-worker & we were all afraid (DH included). We did stop to take a picture in front of the gates of Graceland. It's a nine hour trip from here---we have a wide state! I don't know if we'll get back there or not. Downtown was cool at night.

Good evening,

We had a busy day, my wife and I were suppose to head to Six Flags without the boys today, but Mother Nature made us switch our plans. Lots of rain earlier today. Lots of shopping, school shopping for the boys in general. We hit a different Hallmark than the one we went to last week, they had a large section of Halloween items set up. Very cool, and of course I had to go play with the buttons on all the ornaments. (They had last years chocolate filled Advent Calendars on sale at 90% off, for some reason I just can't seem to find a reason to buy old chocolate.)

I hope you all had a great day.

Good night all!!
