Good morning!
My daughter sent me a text message at 3:00am to tell me she didn't feel well and I couldn't fall back to sleep. I love how these kids text me from their beds in the middle of the night. She was supposed to open at work today so I'm not sure what she's going to do. I'll wake her in a little bit to see if she feels better. I have work this morning as well. Not too much going on afterward, I just have to run to the supermarket at some point today. Other than that I may do some more online shopping. I crossed a few things off my list yesterday. I was having problems with a couple of websites so I may try again today even though Cyber Monday is over. Most of the sites that my girls want things from didn't have great deals anyway. That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

I hope your daughter is feeling better.

Good Morning MMC !!!

Watching "Defending Santa" while enjoying a bacon and egg sandwich and a glass of eggnog.

This was after putting a pot of snert and it is smelling great in here. Getting my living room back in shape now that all my daughters things are moved out. Also have a box of things to drop at thrift store. Then work calls and wants me to come in, I turned them down because I have a lot to do today.

Hope you all have a fantastic day !!

I had to look up what snert was, I now know it is pea soup. cheesy

Hey everyone! Hope y'all are doing great! We have been having a blast here. Christmas is in full swing and there are a few present under the tree. We are hoping to go on a big shopping trip this weekend, but we still are looking for a sitter. I say we just take the little one with us, but Doc says no way.

We actually bought an Elf on the Shelf and we are just putting her throughout the house and letting Bambina see her throughout the house. We are taking pictures and making sure to get her in there. We haven't name, yet. I keep coming up with funny names and Doc is just rolling her eyes at me.

We are watching the Toy Story that is on TV. Anyone else? It is really funny!

I'm off to go play with the family. See y'all!

Its such a magical time, enjoy every second of it!

Evening all. Just going through the channel lineups this week. In case it hasn't been posted anywhere, I remember someone posting about wishing to see this: Tomorrow night, Wednesday, on Uplifting Entertainment at 9pm EST is the original Walton's pilot - The Homecoming: A Christmas Story. 1971.

Just thought I'd mention it.

I had a great blast from the past tonight. I found a DVD of a Christmas concert that PBS ran in 1982---Pavarotti with an orchestra and two choirs at a big cathedral in Montreal. The original was broadcast in mono, but this has been restored with a stereo recording that was made during the taping. It was wonderful to see and hear that again. We both really enjoyed it. If you ever want to buy it, make sure you get the DVD produced in Canada on the Analekta label. There are other DVDs of the concert out there that are inferior.

Hi everyone. I'm still struggling with trying to get here on-line, with having no Internet at the house. However, good news, after 10 weeks of waiting, we were given notice that they can install it, this coming Saturday.....

I'm a little behind in my schedule of sending out Christmas cards, shopping exchanges, etc... but plan to kick it into full gear this weekend...

So, hopefully, I will get the ornament exchange, Christmas card exchange, personal Christmas cards out and start doing some decorating and shopping this weekend. Whoo-hoo!!!! Give giving me coffee!!!

I hope everyone is doing well, miss being here on a regular basis, but, plan on being here more regularly very soon....:-D

I am glad you will getting internet at your place this weekend.

Thank you.

Good evening,

I made it through the day at work, barely, and I do believe I will be taking tomorrow off, I still feel lousy and still have no voice. I am heading to sleep very soon just getting caught up here.

I hope you all had a great day.

Good night, everyone.

Elf on the Shelf sounds like so much fun.

And I hope you get a babysitter this weekend!
