X-MAS Eve roll call

Looks like the rest of the world has off work today since it is 7:30 and nobody has started the roll call.  I am lucky enough to have a job, but that also means that I have to work today.  Ok Ok, so I don't celebrate X-mas, but it would still be nice to have an extra day off.   If all goes well, they will let us go early today.  Siehara has off of school starting today until January 4.  Give me strength!!! 

So, anyway... work today until 3:30 or until they say we can stop.  After work, shower and go over to one of the local synagogues for a family fun night of movies and kosher Chinese food.  It's a typical Jewish Christmas to do Chinese food and movies, so they made it an "official" event. LOL! It should be fun and it's not at my synagogue, so hopefully we'll get to meet some new people in the process.  

Hope you all have a healthy and happy holiday, no matter what and how you celebrate.  Enjoy the time spent with family and friends and cherish every moment.

I shared this on Steffi's bathing suit thread last night, but wanted to put it out there again.. funny song about Jews and Christmas.   www.youtube.com/watch

Lisa good morning I am awake with you. Heather has off also so we can share an oye vey!  The wringing of the hands and the yelling of give me strength.  Heather has a date with her girlfriend Chelsea and Chelsea's dad to go to her grandmother's for xmas eve.  I for one am grateful she has good friends.  We are having a dinner tomorrow and chilling out.  Wishing everybody a happy and healthy holiday. 

Hey Lisa. email me and let me know how last night went.

I am working a half day today. So wont be home til early afternoon. Jason has the whole day off.
Hope he uses it wisely to buy me something good LOL. Tonight we are going to The Pressroom for dinner and then to go look at christmas lights, it is a tradition for me.  Hope you have a easy work day and a nice night

Good morning Ladies - and all of PA who jumps on later!  Lisa - I too would LOVE to know how last night went.  And....lots and lots of strength with that beautiful daughter of yours! :)

I woke up with a roomful of people and a plan to play all day! :)  Oh happy vacation!  We played in the water park last night and I went down a water slide and NO ONE looked at me funny! :)  Today will be the big water slide - soooo can't wait for it! :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas eve and Christmas to all who celebrate! :)  Happy Thursday Y'All! :)

I will post another thread about last night's appointment

Good morning, and happy Christmas Eve to those that celebrate!

I'm working today until around 2:00, if you can even call it working since there are very few of us here and everyone is in full-on goofing-off mode.  The great news is that this is my last day of wor****il January 4th. Woo hoo!!!

After work, I need to pick up a few last-minute gifts (of course), go to the gym, then I'm heading to my parents' house for Christmas Eve dinner.  After dinner, I'm serving at Midnight Mass (which is actually at 10pm, go figure!), and I'll also be chanting the preface and other parts of the liturgy.  I'd better practice at some point before then! Oh and I need to steam the wrinkles out of my vestments too. Like I don't have enough to do already...

I hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday, and that those of you who don't celebrate enjoy the downtime and get some rest & relaxation!

Good Morning Pa,
A few last presents to wrap.  Waiting for my son-in-law to come home, so I can make my last trip of the year home back to Pa.  Tomorrow after church, we will head down to our home in Tenn.  Get the house down there ready for the winter months, and a few days in Dollywood, just to let my husband unwind.  (he loves it there)  Then will head back to Pa before the New Years, to start the weekly trek, from Pa to Salisbury Md every week to take care of the grands while my daughter works midnights.  Then off to Disney on the 9th.  Can't wait.  So will not be posting for about a week.  Have a safe, healthy, Happy Holiday.
Christmas Hugs to All, Ena

Well, I'm working too....but not till later!

I was busy this morning.  Spent some time with Brian then got up and prepped some stuff for a quiche I am making tomorrow to take to work.  Also got a load of laundry done.

Then I ran out for a few things.  We are only allowed to wear solid black at work - so I had gotten rid of all of my "fun" scrubs.  But there will be NO management there tonight and tomorrow night and us night shift people have decided to wear our black pants and holiday tops tonight and tomorrow.  Soooo...I needed to run out and get them!  I also picked up some bagels for tomorrow morning and stuff.

Now I'm home...packed my food for work tonight and am getting my new awesome flat iron ready.  Hubby bought me a really nice one last night as my Christmas present - they used it on me in the mall - and holy schmoly - it worked FANTASTIC.  I tried it myself to make sure I could do it - and I did pretty good on the few sections I did.  Now to see if I can do my whole head!

After I do that, I'm gonna convince hubby to put in my Chirstmas shows on DVD (charlie brown, the grinch, and Garfield, all the old ones....) and much to his dismay make him watch at least one or two of them with me.

Then it will be  a nap and up and to work.

Have a safe and happy holiday, and please be careful if you are traveling!

LOL LIsa....I don't know if you've ever seen "A Christmas Story" but there is a scene, after their Christmas Dinner is ruined, where they go to a Chinese Restaurant and have dinner there...with the waiters singing "fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra RAAAHHH" with deck the halls.  I couldn't help but picture that in a synagogue!

yep, Christmas Story.. matter of fact, the TBS marathon starts at 8PM.  I don't know if I've ever seen the entire thing from start to finish, but I've seen just about every part of it.  I don't remember that part though.  Maybe this will be the year I watch it from beginning to end. 

We'll sing CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHAAAAAAA   LOL!
