"No tool works if it's been forgotten in the drawer"
We'll give you a break on this gathering. Being just a few days out, it may be hard for you to make it out and shop. :-) We've all been there, so we won't hold it against you.
I don't want you to feel pressured to have another task with everything else going on.
If you do decide to bring something, just surprise us.
Thanks for volunteering though. Very sweet of you!!!

I am really looking forward to seeing everybody December 11th at Erica's house for the Holiday Party.
Erica's home is located off Sugarloaf Parkway in Duluth.
This will be our 3rd Annual Holiday Celebration. Wow, it does not seem like it has been that long!
The last 2 years we had a blast eating, drinking, and being very merry. I know this year's celebration will be even better.

Since Erica is opening her home to us all, it would be a nice gesture for us all to contribute food, paper products, games, etc. so she won't be overwhelmed.

So, the end of the year is just around the corner. I can't believe it's almost 2011! Wow, time flies when you're skinny.
I feel so happy and so blessed to have the life I have now. I was sitting here as all the Christmas commercials come on and was thinking to myself "I have everything I want and need".
Now, it would be nice to have a fancy sports car or a luxury vacation, but let's be realistic, Santa's pockets are deep but not that deep.
I can't think of a single thing I want for Christmas. Hmmm? This is gonna be pretty hard for Santa because I can't offer any hints.
Well, share with us what if anything you have on your Christmas wish list.
Maybe Santa is on OH too. He is a little thick in the midsection you know. I wonder if he's ever heard of a DS?
