Hello everyone
I am relaxing this morning. Today we are going to The Shakespeare Theater to see a Christmas Carol with Greg's family (we are also going to eat at Half Shell). So in a little while I will take a shower and get ready. I got the first wave of my baking done. I made goodies to send to Amanda and Greg's daughter. I wrapped presents.
There is a girl at work that had a baby about 8 weeks ago. This baby is very ill. He has had 2 heart surgeries. For whatever reason she has been very secretive about it. I'm not supposed to know. We are not particularly close. In fact I think she dislikes me....for some reason. I have been praying for her baby.
Well time to go back to my relaxing morning. See ya
Good Sunday to All.
Today I want to finish the baking and the making. I need next week end to clean and such.
Our tree had a set of lights go out 2 days after we put it up. Last night I finally got tired of the strip without any, so I weaved a row of lights in it. nicer.
We also got our reservations made for NY Eve dinner.
What are your plans for today?
Hugs,
Lisa 
Hello everyone
Yes my weekends are busy. Every weekend from now till the end of the year is booked. I had to turn someone down because I had something going. I have plans after work two days next week.
And I have a lot of baking to do. I have to make time to get it done. I am making stuff for Amanda's package and we are have two Christmas dinners so I have to bake for that. And for Christmas. Ugh.
At least my shopping is done.
Lisa- I can't wait to see your dress.
Well back to work...hopefully the day goes by fast
Good Morning,
2 weeks until Christmas, 3 until New Years, and4 until my 50th Anniversary. It has been a crazy month so far, and it doesn't look any better for the next.
Everyone else's must be as hectic.
One of our best friends lost his Mother on Wed. She was 99.5. Everything will be done on Monday. Both of us took off for it. Hubert will be a pall bearer.
My dress, that I got for my Anniversary Party is at the dressmaker's, for hemming. It was a bit to long. She promises to have it back to me by 1/4/16. I will post a picture afterward.
I have a lot to do today.
Hugs,
Lisa
Good afternoon Connie and the rest of Illinois!
Great to see you checking in, Connie! Good to know that things are going so well.
I am also doing well. I am enjoying the job more each day, it seems. Settling in, I guess.
Todd's party was FANTASTIC!!!! It really could not have been better in December. We are thinking of doing something there in the summer so we can take advantage of all the room in the yard and porches. There is also a dock, so we could get a pontoon boat for rides on the river. I was a bit afraid of the long night with people drinking and carrying on. It was NO SWEAT! I had fun, and didn't have to use any escape plan. I had a blast! Danced, sang karaoke, took care of my guests and stayed up until 3 am. All without drinking. Cool for me!
We are getting ready for an Open House here at work tomorrow. Todd is going to come up, buy me dinner and see where I work. Also very cool.
Liv comes home Monday and I am excited about that!
Everyone have a great day!
Tell someone that you love them!

Hello everyone
Yes I am busy. My weekends are filling up fast. I don't think we have a free weekend till the end of the month. So I am planning things on week days now.
We are getting our gifts we ordered in the mail. Most of mine have arrived. I think I am waiting for two more. Then I will start wrapping. I have to bake and send Amanda's gift out. She requested oreo chocolate chip cookies.
I had a couple of craft projects I wanted to do. Like I have giant letters spelling out "Be Merry" to go above the cabinets in the kitchen. I have to spray paint them. But when I got them in the mail they forgot the "M"!!! Darn Hobby Lobby!!! They are ruining my project. I need the M. I emailed them and they haven't responded yet. It's only $1.50 but it's the principal. I shouldn't have rebuy what I have already bought.
Tonight I am making a chessey buffalo chicken casserole. It's a new recipe...so I hope it's good.
Well...time to get back to work
hi folks!
We've been so busy at the store that I don't get on OH much. I'm doing great and loving my life so that's great. We aren't traveling like we used to but we are enjoying the folks we meet thru work. Hope you all are happy and healthy!

Woah, that sounds really good actually. Protein shakes always sort of grossed me out because I feel like they're all milk based or taste like milk in some way; not a fan. But I love juices and fruit flavored waters. Will DEF check them out.
AND......if you are using unflavored protein, you can mix it into your juice. Two birds with one stone! There is also a protein brand called "Nectar" that has many juice-type flavors, as opposed to the chocolate shake types. These "Nectar" brand proteins are good alone or mixed with Crystal Light.
I don't drink fruit juice as it has way too much sugar for me. Crystal Light? Oh yeah!
Tell someone that you love them!
