Christmas Countdown - 2011

[snowflake22]

Good Morning, Christmas Family~

It's Friday- thank God!!

Not much new around here to report, had to come into work early today to catch up on payroll. It's a ghost town around here.

My parents are hitting an outlet mall today, and I hope I can sneak out early & meet them for lunch.

Any big New Year's Eve plans?

We are going to stay home, grill some steaks, have some bubbly, and play Play Station Move & board games! It's too dangerous to be out & about here on NYE. Check points everywhere, and the crime is outrageous. And you get stuck on the strip if you want to watch fireworks there, they close off the roads surrounding it @ 5:00 pm. So, we usually stay in.

My doctor's office called to confirm my Tuesday appointment. Unfortunately, no one was there to answer any of my questions. I'm going to just try & enjoy the weekend, and save the rest for next week.

Only a few more days left of Christmas movies on tv...I always get so sad when they're gone. It's kind of silly, really, since I have most of them on dvd. But, when they're on tv, it's just different- more special. I'm sure you all know what I mean :grin:

* I hope you're all doing well. Sending big hugs! *

Lost a good friend this morning.....he was like a father figure to me. It's good, everyone has been preparing themselves for this. Hate to sound ugly, almost a relief because of the fight that he was enduring.

Here's to hoping that his quality life of being a sound person, great husband, and awesome father will allow him to encounter an eternity of peace.

Hope your better soon. some of these bugs going round are ready hard to shake of. but you have the right idea relax , take it easy

I haven't felt too well in the past couple of days. Wayne and I might decide on a quiet New Years Eve instead of having a lot of company. Not like we go wild or anything anyway! I was thinking of having my parents, uncle and cousins come by early for some games but just not sure I am up to it.

I do plan to have my 3 grandchildren come over for their annual "Ring in the New Year" which is about 6:30-7:00 pm with a countdown, throw streamers and drink sparkling juice out of plastic champagne glasses. We do this early because they will be home early and in bed. I will probably be in bed early too!

No matter how I feel I will enjoy my evening!!! =)

I know what you mean! I have hundreds of Christmas movies and shows on vhs and dvd and still don't want it to end on tv! It is different! You feel like you are watching these shows with the world instead of by yourself when they play it on tv. =)

So sorry to hear of your loss. I know what you mean by feeling a sense of "relief" when a loved one has finally stopped suffering. I use to not understand "relief" when people felt that way when a loved one died from a terminal illness until I was faced with it when my grandma passed. I held her hand until she took her last breath and was glad there was no more suffering but of course great sadness as well! She was not well and it was just not fair for her to go through that. It's not ugly for you to say that at all.

All this talk of food is making me hungry, too! And I just ate breakfast!! Do any of you guys have an In & Out Burger? Soooo good!!! That's one of our favs. We also love Fatburger & Cafe Rio for Mexican. Otherwise, we're pretty old school- I love A & W, Burger King, and Dairy Queen =)

No In and Out Burger out this way, we don't have a Sonic either, but we see their commercials all the time. A & W is great, there is one in Lake George, NY that we love, we visit there when we go on vacation.

total agreement!

I got a nice wrist watch for Christmas, but had to take it to Macy's last night because I discovered that the security device was still attached. Had to go to two departments to get it detached, because the watch department doesn't have the tool that opens the device ... huh? Had to take it over to handbags. Thank goodness I had a gift receipt. Can you imagine? "Hi, this is a gift, but I need the security tag removed ..." "Nice try, lady."

Way to be prepared Macy's, that makes no sense that they didn't have the tool there. cheesy

It doesn't sound ugly at all, it's a natural and normal feeling. It hurts to see people we love suffering so much--how can we not feel relieved that they won't be in pain any more? Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about your friend, and you and his family will be in my prayers.

Have you guys ever tried Orange Julius? They put one of those next to the new Dairy Queen. I love those!! I used to go there every once in awhile when I worked at the mall back in Wisconsin.

We have an Orange Julius, Dairy Queen together at the mall, I haven't had an Orange Julius in years but DQ is yummy.
