there is an AC Moore right by me at the Blvd & Welsh Road in a shopping center. 

Jill,

     I am glad that you posted about what you are feeling.  You are entitled to your feelings but it doesn't mean that they need to make sense.  We are in charge of how we feel - others can contribute to that but ultimately we are responsible for ourselves.  Give yourself permission to grieve and get angry.  Don't beat yourself up over it even if you pick up something that isn't the best food choice.  Do the things that nurture and support yourself.  I'm sure that the weather isn't helping your attitude - it's really depressing out there.  Try to be gentle with yourself - you really don't sound that insane to me and I am sure there are many others out there that would agree with me.  Hang in there - sending you a cyber hug.

Nicole,

     Please don't apologize for anything.  When I first came here I appreciated your postings because of your honesty.  I am not privy to a lot of the drama that occurred here and for that I am grateful.  As I said before, I am not a Facebook person so this really was the forum for me to know what was going on in people's lives.  I have no intention of going on Facebook - I have enough on my plate right now.  I also agree that a new group of pre and post ops will need to step up to the plate in order for the board to become more alive.  Real life is more important than the cyber world but I will always be grateful that I got to know some special people on this board even though I never had the opportunity to meet them IRL.  I hope that all is going well for you Nicole and that you have a good holiday season.  It is always great to see you when you get on the board.  TAke care.

Good Afternoon Beth and PA,

I have had a frustrating morning so far.  I have been searching for small wooden letters that are train cars with magnets in the letter's in my grandson, Franklin's name.  I want to paint them myself, like I did for his older brother and sister.  Unfortunately, I have only been able to find four of the eight letters at the two AC Moore's in Lower Bucks County.  My time in PA is short, and I want to paint this train, and give it to him for his first Christmas present from me, as I did for Isabel and Lincoln.  I've tried looking online, and AC Moore's website does not carry them.  I've found name trains online, but they're already painted.  I need to see where the nearest AC Moore is other than Langhorne, or Bensalem.

The rest of the day will be spent purging my bathroom and organizing my bedroom closets.

Hugs,

Trish

Good Morning PA Folks!!

I am a bit weary this morning. My car would not start yesterday when I came out of work. So I had to get it towed, get a ride over to the dealership where I had it towed then get a rental. By the time all that was done, I didn't get home until around 7pm. Then I had to do homework with my daughter but at that point I was so spent it was hard to help her. I went to bed shortly afterward. Tossed and turned as usual, woke up to one of the cats who had peed in our clean laundry basket. He may be up for adoption soon, because I am getting tired of dealing with it!! I soooo wanted to call out of work today, but I have a concert coming up on the 19th, so that is not an option! I am hoping that my car will be done today, I can drop off the rental, pick up my car and get my butt home! I have a busy night ahead of me. We have a holiday party at a friends house tomorrow and it is pot luck so I am baking some goodies but I have to stop at the store to pick up supplies. Dee also has girl scouts tonight, YIPPEE!?!?!

Life will slow down, right??? At least I have the energy to do all this!!

Have a GREAT weekend!!

Love, Beth
