I've been around. I just haven't posted much this week. I've had to much else on my mind.

yeah! We have a party!! Yes, bring Starbucks if you want because I have been banned from most every coffee machine so you do not want me making coffee anyway!
I need more pople, anyone else up for Thanksgiving Canadian style?
it is medical spelled wrong LOL (that is what I get for typing on my phone whild talking to someone!)
Speaking of Cookies, has anyone ever tried to make these? I found the recipie on-line and it sounds good, different, and definitely not fat free!!!But, it has caught my attention...
Ho-Ho SnowBalls
Ingredients
(2) 6-ounce packages of white chocolate chips
¼ cup of Heavy Cream
(2) Tablespoons Bourbon or additional heavy cream
6-ounce package slivered almonds, very finely ground
1-1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Directions
Place chocolate chips and cream in a medium bowl set over a pan of hot (not boiling) water; stir until melted and smooth.
Stir in Bourbon (or additional heavy cream) and almonds.
Spread in a lightly greased 8”x8” pan.
Chill for 1 hour, until firm.
Cut into one-inch squares; roll each square into ball, then roll into coconut. keep chilled.
Makes about 5 dozen
That sounds like a miracle! Is it something you can get at Walmart or Target? I have never seen it before...I know you live in PA like I do...could it be a regional thing (I'm not sure where in PA you live)?
Oh my goodness, I hope you feel better soon!!!
I am so sorry you're in so much pain, CM3! I hope you get to feeling better soon!
Um, I will help with wine, too! I still have 3 bottles I bought from the Ren Faire, plus hubs and I got a personalized bottle of wine as a wedding present from one of our guests! =)
Oh my goodness, you are moving from Vegas to Wisconsin? What a very different climate change that will be! Hubs and I are excited...we are going to Vegas for the very first time next year for our honeymoon!
Hello everyone!
Hope everyone had a great Thursday and those who are feeling bad are starting to feel better!
I ended up buying a medicine with both a cough suppressant and expectorant in it, and honestly I'm not feeling any different. The coughs still aren't being productive OR subsiding, so I'm really out of luck at this point, I think (unless I find the medicine Jennifer was talking about!). It is very frustrating...I have been sick since last Monday and all I want is to feel normal again. Sigh.
I had a pretty relaxing day...worked more on the shower thank you cards (only 7 to go, yay!) and was able to talk to 2 good friends on the phone today. It's amazing how talking to friends can make you feel better! Both of them are starting new jobs next week, so I'm really hoping some of their luck will rub off on me. I really want (AND NEED!) a job soon. I even put in a seasonal application at Target...while I didn't really want to go back to retail, and especially back to being a cashier, I just need SOMETHING at this point.
I'm not sure if I mentioned here that our wedding photographer has strangely gone MIA since our wedding, and hubs and I are really starting to get nervous about it. We were supposed to have pictures by Wednesday of last week, but she is now not returning calls, texts, or emails. I even tried calling her from hubs's phone, thinking that maybe she was intentionally ignoring my calls, but it went straight to voicemail from his phone too. I won't even go into the crap she put us through on our wedding day (it would literally be the longest post EVER), but if we end up not getting our pictures from her, I will be irate. One of my friends that called today has volunteered to take some replacements pics for us, and our venue has agreed to let us have time to do this. The thing is, Travis won't be able to re-rent his suit, so we are hoping to find something close to it in his closet. Most of the shots we want done are ones of just me completely dressed up (she took NONE the day of...yeah...) but there are some of the both of us that we want done, so hopefully he has something he can wear. It is just such a mess, but I'm so glad we have a friend who is willing to do this for us. Hopefully my friends that did my hair and makeup will be able to help too.
Anyway, I'm going to finish watching Chopped and maybe play a few games of SongPop (anyone else here addicted?!) before bed. Have a good night, everyone!

No, I have not....but I must!!!!!!!!!!! OMGoodness, sounds so delicious!!! Thanks for sharing!
Lol...yes, we are both from Wisconsin. We've been here for over 10 years, and we miss home & our families.
But, it's been one wild ride!! Such a fun place. Let me know if you have any questions or want some hotel, restaurant, or show reccommendations!! =)
Sorry to hear @ your troubles with your photographer. That has to be very frustrating. I am praying for the best!! Hope there is some sort of explanation...maybe that she had an emergency come up to be out of contact? idk...keeping you in my thoughts. Best of luck to you. xo
:sparkle:
Hoping your feeling a bit better this morning
Over here a lot wood say that it's gives the flu
When my uncle use to get it he was never well or 2weeks
He spent one year in bed on Christmas Day,
He does not take it now.
Sorry to hear about your photo problem. Perhaps something is up, I can't believe someone wood be that low to do that, photo,s are like the memories you hold in your hand.
Hopefully something will come up soon work ways, and maybe if you can't get this cough I wood go to doctor as at times they can give stuff that can't be bought in a shop..

Good Morning, Friends.
In steady lock-step, we advance ever relentlessly forward to Christmas.
Now, step over here and gaze upon today's count and marvel at the close proximity of that special event:
Days to the Season: 39
Days to Christmas Day: 81
Day after tomorrow, Guys -- we will find ourselves 90 percent of the way to the end of our journey and into the Home Stretch to the start of Christmas Season 2012!
Fantastico!
Much less rain yesterday than the previous few although a certain dampness lingered.
It is supposed to be dry today and tomorrow which will be good for our pending trip.
I read 61.5 degrees currently on our digital back yard thermometer.
OK!
You have a Fabulous Friday, Folks.
We are off to the coast without worry because I know I'm leaving you in Brent's capable hands.
See you here Monday morning!

Good Friday morning everyone!
Its going to be a cool in the 40's to 50's weekend. Thanksgiving weekend is here. I work on Monday but only for a half day so I can spend the rest with my Family. Oh the colors of the tree across the street. Ill post a picture when I get home. It looks soooo fally...fally...yes. We will go with fally. hah. Not much is new. Van is running like new now. Big thanks to my Brother in Laws Father. Its nice to know that there are still people out there that are not in it just for the money, but to help people that NEED it. Avon magazines have Christmas stuff in it. Hey. I can add some of those pictures to the blossoms thread too! Well back to work I go. Hope everyone has a great day!
