Patti, do you have other people decorate your tree? Sounds like a good plan....I'd like someone to put the lights on...I don't like that part! The wind was bitter cold today. Heard snow coming in for Tuesday...I could use a good snow day to catch up! I suppose I have to let him have the car so he can make the big bucks for me to get new things! haha...the sacrifices we make! happy Thoughts to all......................

Hi folks, the weekend is here again! Dave and I are leaving early Monday morning for Los Vegas and that'll be relaxing. I like it out there. It's tough to miss school though. I guess that means I'm getting to like my new position so that's a good thing.

I'll be doing a bunch of decorating this weekend and we'll put our tree up before we go. It'll be a busy weekend but fun. Then when we come, I'll be having a cookie swap and tree decorating party. That'll be a lot of fun. Our school party is set for The 16th. Seems too soon but the time goes by so very quickly as you all know.

Take care all - Pat

Happy December everybody. Let the decorating and shopping begin. Personally, I haven't done much of either yet. Will start this weekend, decorating anyways...my husbands car is being worked on and won't be ready until Monday...so he is taking my car....during the week I really don't mind because I can get a ride to school and back but weekends.....guess it'll force me to get things done here. Real excitement here....I have a new washing machine...How pathetic to be excited about watching the clothes go around in the front loader...guess we could pretend to be watching tv....but its very quiet which is some diffferent from the 20 year old one! Guess it doesn't take a lot to please some people! Have a great weekend everybody...and happy thoughts...

Travel safely Lori. Let us know when you get back.

I cooked myself a big turkey dinner this afternoon. So let the eating of leftovers begin!!

Thanks, Kathi. I guess all I can do for her is listen. I know from my own experience that advice is the last thing anyone wants.
