whats new on Saturday

since Margo isnt here to start this i guess everyone is sleeping in....im up as usual by 5am , dont have the slightest idea why i want to get up this early....
nothing much new with me they are saying that we may have snow on Christmas , well that would be pretty but dont know how they can tell that far away.
Last minute shoppers dont let the stress get to you. enjoy your day out.
I just have gone shopping in my big box of presents that i keep on hand for things. and found most of my gifts to people , now will have to repleni**** after Christmas with the sales. ....
going to go make coffee and get my protein coffee made ...will see you all later maybe.

Good morning Jan C. and OFF friends,

It's snowing and everything looks so beautiful.  It's the fine snow, and they're calling for a Noreaster, so we'll see how much we finally end up with.  If anyone is out driving in the storm, please drive carefully.

I'm going to work some today, then practice piano, then wrap gifts, so not too much new going on around here.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Debbie

Good morning Jan & Debbie. Jan I do the same thing with the gifts. I start the day after Christma****ting the sales. With having so many grandkids & ages from newborn to teen years everything I buy works. I am done for this year. Got all my baking done this week too. All I have left to do is a little wrapping.

Today I think I will just do nothing important. We are alone now until Christmas day. I really need some down time. Please if you are travling today, be careful. Take some time for yourself & enjoy your weekend!

Good morning ya'll.

No snow here, yet!  My daughter made it out of RDU yesterday in the snow (She was on her way home to OR).  We were a little worried. She leaves for Cabo tomorrow, so she won't have to deal with any snow for a week. My nephew made it from Atlanta to NY yesterday only an hour late.  I hope he can get home on Tuesday.

I have completed 5 days of radiation with no ill effects.  I am knocking on wood! I am back home for the weekend.  My Monday treatment is 11:30, so I can wait and drive back then.  My DIL is still insisting on going up with me to babysit.  My Dr. says it isn't necessary, I don't feel it is necessary, and this is her Christmas break from school.  She doesn't need to spend i****ching me nap! I will continue to try to convince her today and tomorrow.  Our son will deploy next month for 8 months and she should spend her time fawning all over him!  Although I know from experience, little spats are MUCH more prevalant the few weeks before they deploy.  It's easier to say good-bye to someone you are mad at!!

Guess that's it.  Lots of sleeping this weekend, and getting groceries for my DH. But I'll only be gone 3 days next week.

George, I got the fantastic card from you and Mary.  I am amazed that she has the time to do so much.  You two are a marvel, and an inspiration to me!

Have a fantabulous day!

grammylew you ARE doing GREAT!!!!!! happy for you that you are going through this without any problems!!!! keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for a full recovery!!!

hugs

Morning Off
Was out at 7 to the bone cracker  now I am dizzy!  And this is supposed to be helping my vertigo! 
I make several kinds of candy every year to share,  You know that once a year kind of thing,  usually my best friend and I do it and our baking together she couldn't make time this year so I am forgoing the cooking and just doing the candy this weekend. SO its off to the store for the ing. this am then this afternoon  Ill make the peanut brittle and tomorrow the fudge and such and get it all divided up.  My family actually gets little of it no one gets more than a few bites!!   
Kids are getting excited about Christmas.     I don't care if if comes this year and I just want it over at the same time.  Next year will be  better.   Have a good Saturday everyone

Good Morning Jan, Debbie, Grammylew and OFFr's to come. . .

I'm here in Florida this morning watching as the snow falls where I call home and wondering if I will make it home tomorrow night, oh well, if I don't, so be it, though I love watching the snow fall and the muffled sound from the blanket of white stuff. . .

Well today me, my daughters and granddaughter are going to the movies. 

Hope you all have a wonderful day and if you're in the path of this storm, be safe.

Hugs, Laureen

Laureen,

Have a safe trip coming back....looks like you may be staying an extra day or so.  Sounds like you're having fun!  Enjoy the movie!

Debbie

Good Morning Jan and everyone here already and those yet to come!

Finally finished my shopping and bought a few things to bake.  I am not making a whole lot.  I don't want the sweets in the house to be tempted. 

We live in a rural part of Ohio and our driveway is pretty long.  My husband and son have shoveled it for so long.  Last night we charged a blade and chains for the wheels on our sears card.  I can't see my husband shoveling that much snow anymore.  He is 52.  Has a bad back too.   So, I guess it is another  bill but a worthwhile one.

It is snowing here in Medina Ohio.  It looks pretty , however, I hate snow.lol   I hate driving in it.  I want to move somewhere where it is warm all the time.

Well going to color my hair today. It needs it.  Maybe do some cookies and deliver some avon.

Everyone have a great day.  Smile today at least once.

Mary

Hello all. Jan I get up at 5:00 too. Makes me crazy, but there it is - I just  can't sleep in. My kids both got home from college (one from Iowa and one from Michigan) just in time for it to finally get cold in Florida. Supposed to go to an outdoor party tonight, but forecast is in the 40's so I may skip that one. Today is baking day. Spiced nuts and lemon (from our tree) cookies for folks at work. Other than that, I'm hanging out with my daughter (son will probably be out with friends) and husband today. I love weekends.
