I told Joe well i will have a great final check from them ...besides getting paid double for yesterday. .
guess i will have them mail the last check to my sisters house in Houston since i hope we will be in Ecuador by then...will make some good spending money on the rest of our trip lol ....
'
Hope you all got all you wanted for Christmas cause i know you all were good little girls and boys lol ,,,,Joe and i didnt get each other anything because our trip is our gift to each other. We would rather do that than get things ....altho he did get me really pretty little cross necklace....not too expensive but very pretty.
 He said since our wedding anniversary , Christmas and your birthday all are right here together couldnt not get you something. he is such a romantic,.

well we will be taking down the christmas tree and decorations tomorrow since i am off and will be making a trip to Home depot to pick up some of their totes they have on sale right now. they are the best thing in the world to store things in. and we are going to need several of them im sure.

will get off here have to start getting ready for work. get some energy for one thing. ....see you tomorrow....

Jan, I'm sure you earned that double pay day.  When do you leave for Ecuador?  I would like to get away from this cold weather.  Hate going anywhere at night and having to get in a cold car although ours heat up pretty quickly.

The last 2 evenings I made myself sick eating things I shouldn't.  Friday I had a small cupcake at the wedding and all the way home I felt just awful.  Last night I had a sliver of Cheesecake and a sliver of a brownie dessert.  Tasted good going down but in no time I was feeling barfy.  No more sugar!!  Just not worth it.  I can make sugar free items that are just as good. 

I got a recipe using SF cranberry juice, orange juice and cinnamon.  It's heated and you stir with a cinnamon stick so I'm going make some of that for a treat. 

Max gave me a portable DVD player so I have no excuse for not doing my exercise DVDs.  I can go in the bedroom and shut the door and workout all I want or maybe I should say all I "should."  Wanting to exercise won't happen to me but I know I need to. 

I'm confused to about what day it is.

 I actually got out and did a little shopping this morning. I had to see what kind of half price stuff I could find to put up for next year. I did buy a few gifts for next year. I found christmas quilts for 9.50. I am wishing I had bought more now but I would have to find somewhere to keep them till next year.

If you know anyone who collects Stangl pottery I have a whole bunch of pieces my MIL wants me to sell for her. Its town and country blue. Looks a little like spatterware to me. I have ten plates and lots of other pieces.They stopped making it in the seventies.

I can't wait to hear about your trip Jan. I have thought about leaving the US for a while to save money. Not sure DH would ever go for it. He is taking me to Paris in the spring so I am not going to complain to much. I still think we will end up somewhere in Texas in a few years.

My brother is improving but his mind is still not quite back to where it should be. He did have a small bleed at first but the second  Ct showed it had reabsorbed . They think in time he will get better. Physically he is progressing but still has a long way to go. Thanks for all the prayers.
