Debbie, Sorry to hear about your sister. I will keep her in prayer. We are having a meeting Wednesday if you can make it. I look forward to seeing all. See you lighter. Joanne

Is anyone going to Niki's Christmas Party this year ? Debbie and I are coming north for it this Saturday. We look forward to seeing all there. This will be our first outing together since Bob's illness. We look forward to seeing all our old WLS Buddies and meeting new ones. I have to shop for that special $10 gift yet to exchange. What will I get ? Who will get it ?  I do have some ideals. I just need to go get it. Hope to see all there. Have a blessed day and I will see you lighter. Joanne

Good Morning Joanne and Delaware,

I am off to Wilmington today, my friend was scheduled to have the Lap band surgery on 11/19 and on 11/18 at 3pm Dr. Wynn's office called her and told her that she was never cleared by PMRI, so I am taking her up to Wilmington today for this appointment.  I will be hitting Costco and my son's high school.  Still nothing for in the job market, I am sending off an application today for a job in Salisbury.  Thank God I have unemployment, I don't know what I would do without it.  I did venture out on Saturday to Salisbury shopping, the stores were dead.  I couldn't believe it, Kohls probably had about 20 cars in their parking lot.  The busiest store we went to was KMart, guess everyone will be getting discount store presents this year.  I have cookies to bake this week for my church's cookie fund raiser and a parade to attend on Saturday in Seaford.  My church is having a float and our Praise band will be on it singing and our youth will be passing out candy canes. 

Hope everyone has a fun filled week.

Good Morning from Lower Slower Delaware . What is everyone up to today ? Are you shopping on line ? Yesterday I had the kids cleaning and I was cooking. I gave them each a chore list for the week. I let them switch chores as long as all of it got done. They really worked together and got it all done for one day at least.  I am going to work on my room some more today. Hope all has a blessed day. See you lighter. Joanne

I went out black friday and saturday as well. which would be why i havent been on here.  I was also house/dog sitting for firends of mine and i had some issues with their computer.  Anyway i made the mistake of going to walmart in prices corner...UUUGGGHHHHHH.  Yes  i got awesome deals for the most part, i bought myself a nd my little sister new coats for $8 each.  I was in line at 0130am they didnt open until 5am.   The managemnet and the staff there did a horrible job of organnizing and did next to nothing to keep the apporx 100plus people who didnt wait in line from pushing and cutting into the line that approx 200 had been waiting in some dsince 11pm thursday night.  They did have two state police there but they were just to keep fights from happening ( whihch i heard there was one at the back of the line).  No store employees had a sales flier and hardly anyone could tell oyu where things were. I discussd this with my dad last night and he wants to call walmart corporate and complain for me about them allowing unsafe conditions , i did confront the store manager and security  with no results,  he was glad no one got hurt.  With all that said i did get some things and finally got out of the store around 8am.  I had to go back and let the dog out then it was off to the mall. I found some really great deals at pennys there door busters went til 1 so i took advantage.  I saved $159 at pennys and spent only $100 getting clothes for all the kids.   I hit a couple other stores at the mall and indulged in some haagan dazz peanut butter cho**** cream--- about 5bites/licks then tossed it.....mmmmyummmy. I ended at value city in elsemere i was driving by and saw that they were going out of business and i had no idea they had filed for banckruptcy too. They have hardly anything left. Saturday- back to walmart to retrurn some things.  Then i went to kmart and ross.  I found some good deals at ross too.   saturday still had good deals and less people not too bad.  I have more thanhalf my shopping done  its really just the adults  now i have to finish. Im home now and have to finsih cleaning up geting the apt in order  from thanskgiving since my mom  was realluy the only one to help me clean up and there were like 5 other adults here .......
