Would someone please explain to me what is going on? I've now lost 4 friends in the last 4 months. People who I've known for a long, long time now want nothing to do with me. They don't call, email or respond is any way shape or form. I'm hurt, bewildered, stunned ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas to all my Friends!!!  and Happy New Year!!!

I still have 5 gifts to wrap, sugar cookies to frost, rice pudding to make and, if time allows, I would love to deliver cookies to Kay and Mick all before 4pm tomorrow. Oh and I absolutely must bring cookies over to our neighbors. The husband, Tom, showed up at about 6pm tonight with a homemade Flan. Oh my gosh!!! It's the biggest Flan I've ( Read more... )

I have friends coming over in about an hour and what am I doing? Reading LJ of course. There is something wrong with that. Especially since I'm still in my bathrobe and the house could use a bit of touching up ( Read more... )

Tree and house are now decorated, and they look lovely, if I do say so myself! 90% of the shopping is done. Yeah. Now to start the wrapping and cards. I just might get this done before the madness of the 24th. I'm very relieved ( Read more... )

Went to IKEA and bought one of their famous trees. It was all of $25.00 for the tree and if you bring it back to be recycled into mulch you get a $10.00 gift certificate to spend in the store later on. Sounded like a win win to me. Plus it's not a half bad tree either. And found lovely plastic ornaments there, so no worries about SN pulling ( Read more... )

He loved the "choo choo" that goes around Disneyland and, of course, the shuttle bus the drove us from our hotel to the park. I get the impression that ( Read more... )

I love the snow... I love drinking hot chocolate while it silently drifts down outside, love making snowmen, love watching the kids having a blast outside........ but not on a work night. I hate to drive in the stuff. I'm the first to admit I really don't know how to do it, so it freaks me out to have to get to work with it on the roadways ( Read more... )

So my girl parts are bugging me these days, so I finally went in for a physical yesterday and today I was off having one of those oh so lovely ultra sounds. Plus had to have blood work done. I hate all those kind of stuff. So on Monday I get to meet with my Dr. to see what is what. DH is convinced I'm having surgery since I have some fibroids ( Read more... )

DH and I were 12 hours away from making an offer on a house. It's amazing how 12 hours can completely change your mind. Guess it was a good thing to walk away and come back for another look. When we sat down and wrote out the positives and negatives ... there were a whole bunch of positives, but the few negatives could not be ignored. So, the ( Read more... )
