Christmas Roll Call

Had lots of problems with computer yesterday or I would have been there for Christmas Cheer earlier! Well MERRY CHRISTMAS. The day has come for all the children to recieve a special treat on this fine day....(you did notice I did not say little children right?) I had such a fun day yesterday shopping in Reading with Mom....its my first experience shopping on Christmas Eve and let me tell you it was nice. No one was barking at you and talk about pleasant.....I could not have asked for a better experience. I think we closed the place but I found cute gifts for my pollyanna at cousins party on the 28th. Dinner is all done thanks to my wonderful hubby. He likes to cook...I like to shop. We both got to do the things we love for one day! He even helped one of our friends with a surprise to his wife....Ahhh gotta love that man right! He is so supportive and wonderful. I hope he likes the treats I have in store for him under the tree....even though its the worlds most smallest tree! Yes, I have downsized like the rest of the world...Charlie Brown has nothing on me this year. I just found it was satisfying my need of a tree and not stressing me out on the decorating of it. Its a quite morning here and well I am just sitting back and reflecting on things and look forward to another wonderful year. BACK to the gym come Monday! Since its a nice day I think I am pulling out the bike! Enjoy the food, people and surprises today! MERRY CHRISTMAS Debbie

Good Morning Debbie and Merry Christmas !!! I wish I could say it was quiet here. My grandkids were up at 4a.m. I got up at 6a.m. For 2 hours they told me the time and said " Good Morning MomMom, It's Christmas, I love you !! Time to get up and open presents " Now all the gifts are open and they are content playing. They have eaten breakfast but are still in their new fleece PJs. I am not cooking today since we had open house last night. I am going to church at 11a.m. and then to Ralph's House. You know my lighter newphew who has lost 97 lbs now since surgery. I too have reflected back on the last year and I think more has happened this year then in my whole 52 years of life.I have tackled many hurtles and still have more to tackle but I have also made many accomplishments and am a stronger and healthier person. I really feel like bring on the New Year. I can handle whatever God has in store for me in 2006. I have many positive plans and alot to look forward to. No life isn't perfect but no ones ever is. I hope we have all found the true meaning of life and now have a life worth living. For me , I am truely free from the prison of being Morbidly Obese and never to return. I did the crime and paid my time. Is this probation? Who knows!!! I only know I will make the best of it and feel truely Blessed. See all lighter. Joanne

Merry Christmas everyone. I honestly did not think that someone would have already posted roll call today. But way to go Debbie!! There are many of us that have so much to be thankful for. My boys are so opposite even though they are close in age. My 10 yr old showed no emotion when he opened his gifts this morning as my 9 yr old showed every emotion from the PS2 game he got right down to batteries. He is funny. But I know in my heart they both appreciated everything they got. Hubby kept saying, I'm sorry I did not get you anything, I'm sorry. No matter have many times I told him don't worry about it he kept stressing. It wasn't a big deal to me considering the whole ins. and no money thing. I am just happy that I have the family that I have. That's about all, I want to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS again, and be safe if you are traveling or have traveled on the roads today. God Bless.

Merry Christmas to all. Hope everyone is having a joyous day. I already had a bad bout with a clemintine. Hmmmm Guess they don't like me. LOL I just got back from running to Odessa and picking up my teenage daughter from her dad's. Waiting for the dinner to be done. The gym was closed yesterday and today and I can say that ''I miss my Workout''. What a change that is since I have always hated sweating and working out before. Thank God for the many new Healthy changes in my life. All have a safe and Blessed day and season.....Sharon

Sharon, The yoga class was great Friday night. With all that stretching I wasn't even sore. Thank God. Going to the gym tomorrow? See you there? Elissa
