Totally Elfing Thursday-Christmas Eve WLS express

You will have to excuse my sistah, Liz.......sometimes the "blonde" peaks out   but we wuvs her anyway!!

And yes, we did have a blast in Dallas!!  

Yes and you too Terry! Sorry I recognize faces just didn't remember EO names. LOL! The snow is blowing here now. Hope we can go to Mom's tomorrow....Did I sing that song "Let it snow"? I dont think so...If we can't go I will be singing OH IM getting nuttin for Christmas!lol!

i know  i know.. cant take me ANYWHERE!!! lol
Annette, again, my sincere apologies!!!

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!  It's kinda my Christmas today since I'm scheduled to work tomorrow.  I am cooking the "full meal deal" today...we changed the menu at the last minute cuz Hailey loves Turkey.  So we're having a Thanksgiving repeat- turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, fruit salad, cooked carrots and apple pie.  Tomorrow we'll have the prime rib IF I get off early enough to cook it.  Otherwise it'll be turkey leftovers.

We're gonna open all of our presents tonight cuz Hailey and Jodie are supposed to head to Tulsa in the morning, weather permitting.  One of Clay's presents still hasn't arrived so I guess I'll be printing a picture off the internet and wrapping it in a box.  (It's my fault-I was too cheap to pay for express shipping).

We drove to Conroe yesterday and got my mother.  Within 5 minutes of being in my house she tripped over a dog pillow (a huge papasan chair cushion) and fell flat on her face!!  Thank God she wasn't hurt but I felt terrible for her.  Anyway, so far it;'s been good having her here-we'll see how the weekend plays out, lol.

Praying I don't have to work the WHOLE day tomorrow.  If it's not too busy another nurse and I are going to split the shift and I'll work the morning and be off at 1 pm.  It's been so busy lately, I doubt that it'll happen but it sure would be nice.

Novel's ending now...have a super Christmas Eve surrounded by those you love.

Steph, I ordered a present for my boss for our Christmas get-together on Monday......it came in yesterday (and he was off work).  I took a picture and put it in a Christmas card.  The funny thing is he bought for all us too (3 in the dept) and my gift hadn't arrived either.  I didn't pay for express shipping, he did; so the moral of the story is even with express shipping and extra cost it might not have arrived on time.

Sorry to hear about Mom, hope she feels ok today.

STEPH-Oklahoma weather report not looking too good-hope Hailey changes her mind

Gina, Hailey has a good head on her shoulders and already told me if there's snow/ice on the roads they won't go.  In fact she's headed here early today cuz of the possible stuff falling around here.  BTW- I ordered 2 bottles of Redline off ebay yesterday for $40.  They're $65 EACH at GNC this week.  Huge saving.

STEPH-excellent news-Hailey AND the Redline!!

Good morning.  Christmas Eve is finally here...I'm like a little kid and excited about tomorrow!  Ben will get a couple of surprises and Ross will too...I got him a new flat screen Tv for the RV...forgetting that his old one had died on him and he's been watching his "spare" tiny tv. It's not a huge flat screen because the place he has to put it isn't that big but he'll like it.

We always go to Christmas Eve service at church.  That's at 7:00...Ben used to open 1 present on CE, but said he didn't want to tonight.  I remember the year he thought he was opening a movie and it was a book and he threw it and said "Where the Red Fern Grows"...I wanted a movie!

We usually open gifts Christmas morning and go to MIL at lunch and my sisters for dinner, but Ross' family are all in Corpus this year for Christmas.  We will stay home, open gifts, eat brunch and go to my sister's for early dinner w/ her and mom.

Prayers for all who need them and safe travels.

Have a great Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Well, 25 years ago today I was over at Methodist Hospital in labor with my first son.  Best Christmas present ever!    On Christmas Day the nurse came and got him to bathe him while I showered and when she brought him back he was stuffed in a Christmas stocking - so cute!  I'll be taking him to dinner tonight.

Some time today I will cook the cornbread for dresign tomorrow and my 2 pies.  Don't have much family left anymore and even less that is close enough to come over - just be me, Kyle and my brother David for dinner tomorrow.  But I enjoy his company so it will be fun.
