had a very early dinner....at 4pm....now I am hungry for dinner....lol

I've been terrible about that lately. I'll skip breakfast and have a early lunch and then an early dinner. Then I'm starving by 10pm.

I know the weatherman did not just say 95 on Tuesday and 96 on Wednesday. What happened to our cold front? It was only supposed to be in the mid 80's. Suddenly that air conditioned hotel room with an indoor pool doesn't sound so bad.

Just wanted to pop in real quick and say goodnight. The kids loved the trains, plus, there was an incline plane there to ride, so we did that too. After that, we went to Applebee's, which is our fav!

Well, I am on off to dream land or at least I hope, then it's to work 10:15. Talk to you guys in the am. Have a great day tomorrow. God Bless!

Have a safe trip, Made! I will be thinking about you!

Is it bad that I'm sitting here watching the 60 minutes report on how they are now linking sugar to cancer with a big bowl of ice cream?

Ah! We could have all been tuned in!

Thanks, RJD!!

Wish you guys could have! I wouldn't have felt so alone =0)

Don't worry, you didn't miss much. Five check ins and not much in the way of chatting.

Thanks, sugar! It was very good, the waitress scolded us because we hadn't been in for a few months, lol. She's a nice girl, and sees a lot of us during football season! I had boneless parmesan garlic wings & hubby tried a new lemon pepper rub on his reg. wings, and did his usual spicy garlic on the others. YUM!

Here is my recipe for my homemade Buffalo Wings http://mymerrychristmas.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38391

I have one for Garlic Parmesan Wings too, I haven't made them in a while though. I'll have to find that one though, and that one is easier than the Buffalo.
Next weekend we will be heading to the Berkshires and there they have a restaurant named Arizona Pizza and they have a wing special $0.25 per wing. I will be hitting that restaurant for sure! Their wings are great!

YUM, thanks for sharing the recipe!!
Love when they have wing specials, too. BW3's used to have ones on Tuesdays & Thursdays, we'd go crazy & eat too much, lol.

hello everybody!

had an awful fright earlier on, daughter's arm came out of her socket, had to take her to the hospital, she was in so much pain, it was heartbreaking to see. thankfully it's all better now, but aren't your kids the most precious thing? makes me physically sick when she hurts herself badly or is really unwell.

was hoping you could have a look at a thread i made, i need some advice for this coming christmas!

Hi Johnor, glad to hear your daughter is ok, now. I'll keep her in my prayers! I think you've got the right idea about balancing your family time @ Christmas. If you let them know the plan far enough in advance, there's no reason why it can't work out great =) And Track had good advice @ preparing some of the food in advance. Best of luck to you!! And congrats on your new house!!
