Hello girls, Nice to see you and read your news Lilbabs. Glad the hot tub could be beneficial to you one way or another. Personally I think I would have sold it too seeing how much trouble the one my niece bought is causing her. The poor fellas have moved it 3 times and it is HEAVY. There were 6 of them and they struggled. Now it is still not hooked up as the plumber has to come run the pipes/wires, ??? that all involves. Then there are the chemicals to be bothered with. They sure are nice to enjoy once in a while though. Shame about the people you work with. Sometimes I think it is the people who actually work hard who get the worst treatment from their peers as they are lazy most times, and have nothing better to do then to worry about what others are doing. I'm sure you'll find something you like soon. You ladies are right about the wandering men. Their guilty concious can not allow them to enjoy the holiday so they need to bring everyone to their level. How are these poor women supposed to put on their Christmas faces for their children. Kids pick up on things like that, it cannot be hidden, that only worries them more I think. At least they will know why Mom is crying. Details are not necessary, it must be done tactfully and not to slander their father in any way. Difficult as h@!! but its part of parenting. Chrissy is picking her kids up today to make the last of her cookies for the exchange. I will see them this afternoon when I go over at 2. They are doing the cutouts. I did not make any of those as I knew the children would be providing them. The first year I didn't , but I did make 6 dozen press cookies. Only sugars for decorations though. ALl in all I made 5 lbs chocolate fudge, which is softer then usual..? 9 lbs of peanut butter fudge, 6 doz pressed cookies, 6 doz. oatmeal scotchies, 8 doz peanut butter cup blossoms, 6 dozen chocolate cordials, 8 doz Christmas M&M/ ch, chip cookies, 5 dozen raspberry filled, 6 doz, peppermint definity, and 4 dozen maccaroons. Joe helped a little bit, which I appreciate every bit of help I get. lol Out of all that, I will make 8 trays for the swap, 12 plates for friends, when I pass out gifts, A large tray for Shirley to take to her family gathering, (she makes me some potaote salad, deviled eggs, and mac and cheese from scratch for my Christmas dinner) Which this year will be at Pattis. I mailed Rhondaand both aunts a package, and am still waiting for my Mom's box, as the box I had intended will not fit. I have just not the time or energy to go that extra mile. I talked to her yesterday and told her I had not sent theirs out yet. They had some bad icy weather there I am about to make up all my plates, and will see what I have left. I am making a plate for each center we work at, although I am sure we will get nothing from them, (as last year), but that isn't what this is all about. Speaking of which, I noticed at each center they recieved a Chirstmas card from my boss, but he never sent one to his help, I think that is just wrong. As a matter of fact, they had my check wrong this past month to boot. People just don't know how to treat others sometimes. I can't figure them out. That's a whole other post, lol Ann don't feel guilty about using that chair, you needed it as much as the next person would have. It's the store who is at fault for not having enough readily available. Glad you were able to get out and enjoy some holiday festivities, IO am sure it was tiring all the same. Tigs, I agree, I also enjoy the company of most all Joe's /Tim's friends. They make me young again, lol. Most of them anyways, this last fella from Tennessee was rather odd. lol Every now and then I have to call Jimmy and ask him what he has been doing as I have not seen him for 4-5 days. He usually tells me well I was by last night while you were working or something. Then there is Jason, who has the alcoholic father who has been in and out of jail with DUI. He is awaiting another sentencing now, a lengthly I am afraid. He hit someone this time. They are OK as far as long term medical or anything, only a few bruises, but he wwas driving without a liscense. He and Joe have known each other since they were in 7th grade. Jason brings a few friends here as well. Tim is friends with basically most of Joes, and a few others he had worked with before, but none that are from way back and just his own friends. TIm is not as outgoing as Joe. Can you tell I am refreshed, ?? lol I slept for nearly 10 hours WOW, I feel like someone gave me a shot of B. I hope it lasts as I have got to get rolling I have been siting here way too long. I was so excited this morning as I got on and I had an e mail from myspace, and they sent me my password, YEAH Now my little pork chop could be bathed and fed, pmsl. ' Later girls |
