Good morning Maysters!

Well, we got about 4 or 5 inches of snow last night and it is beautiful outside. I'd absolutely love it if I didn't have to go to work today! I'm so glad this week is almost over. After today, I have only 9 work days left (8 if I can get in my last vacation day) before Winter Shutdown. And then it's 11 glorious, wonderful, beautiful days off in a row! I can't believe how quickly the holidays are coming up! What's on tap for you this weekend? We have our Children's Holiday Party tomorrow at the Golf Dome. It's a big dome with a driving range, mini golf, batting cages, arcarde, a bunch of inflatable rides/toys, etc. Should be fun. Aaron has to work so I'm taking the kids by myself. After he gets off work, he wants to go to the mall... Is he freakin' nuts? I HATE the mall. Even in the middle of summer when no one's around... Ughhh... Oh well. I like it better this year, at least I can get around and not feel like Puffy the Flump dragging my arse around... Anyway, have a good day today, everyone!

Mornin' Becky Sue! Snowing here. Snowed, then sleet, then freezing rain and now snow again. And Washington drivers are clueless as to how to drive in snow. I'm debating about when to head to work. May wait for it to stop. I can do some work from here. This weekend... I'm working. We have a ton of things due next Friday and need to get work done. Not sure if I'll go into the office or work from home. The office is probably a better place - less distractions. Rich - adore the man but he is a distraction. Saturday night we have a party at one of Rich's coworkers home. They have the party annually. Lets just say the party will mostly be men. I think that's about it. We didn't plan alot since I need to work. Kathy

OK, I'M JEALOUS...I WANT 11 DAYS OFF TOO! December is actually the start of tax season for me. I have to estimate taxes before year end for all my companies to see if they need to bring money in or spend money before the end of the year. Then with the holidays...ugh it's so busy. Anyway, to answer your question....go to grandson's basketball game, go out to lunch, do all my Christmas shopping and grocery shopping (I hate shopping and going to the mall too),then go to the gym (all of this on Saturday) then back to work and the gym on Sunday. It's currently 16 degrees, was down to 8 this morning. Most of our snow on the valley floor is gone but the mountains has quite a bit...really pretty scenery looking at our mountains. When it's this cold, I just want to hibernate!

Hi there, I live in California so the weather isn't as bad for us. It has been in the 40's - 50's at night and 60's to maybe 70 during the day. The winds have been bad so that wind chill makes it feel colder. We are actually going camping this weekend! We bought a travel trailer and this will be our first time taking it out. My kids have never been camping so it will be a real treat for them. I am looking forward to some down time, no computers, no phones, nothing but my family and the great outdoors. I hope I don't freeze my buns off! We are going up in the mountains where it is 30's -50's. I know, I know, some of you think that is warm temps, but to this Southern California Girl, that is some COLD weather! I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!! Deanna

Hey Beautiful!!!!! We got about 8 inches, and it was fabulous! Me and Ty shoveled this am, and I had soooo much energy! I have a reserch paper do by midnight, and I'm working til 9...we'll see how that goes

Hey you! Where are you going camping? We love camping! Have a blast!

We are going up to Frazier Park. Dan's dad lives up there so we are going to visit with him. We wanted to keep our first time out in the trailer kind of local. But it is COLD up there! For all I know it snowed last night with the rains we had. I hope not, because I don't want to deal with icy roads with the trailer tonight. Have a great weekend and have fun shopping! Deanna

Hi! I spent my day shopping today- even at the dreaded mall! I got so much done, though. Now for wrapping! I did pretty much all the kids shopping already, but I want to go with my husband and have him pick out one special gift for each of the kids. He hates shopping so much, I make it really easy for him. Tonight I'm going shopping (again) with a girlfriend. No plans on Saturday! We cancelled our yard sale plans. Sunday I'm driving to L.A. to visit my cousins.
