Leigh Ann, I am up 2 lbs as well... and no roof to fall off of... just plain being bad... :(
had a blast... my feet ache bad... but I bought lots of Christmas presents... teacher gifts... and a surprise here and there.. for.... MEEEEEEEEE.... LOL and a few others.....
Saw Jeanine, Tarra, and Ishland(cousin) at the Jewelry show..... they were having a good time as well!
will probably go and visit the Friday after Thanksgiving...
Tina...best wishes for Jenna :) I know this is a big deal for her!!! Lucky dog..short week!!!!!!!!
Marci...How cool about the jewelry show...and you ran into family (?) there too...how cool!!! I'm sure that little Mylee is going to be the hit of Christmas morning :)
Kathi...hang in there this week friend!! I hope all the walking paid off for you too :)
Steph...how your fingers are warmed up from typing...brrrr
Leighann...I'm so happy you are making your Thanksgiving list!!! What a wonderful holiday for you to be home with your family :) BRRRRRRRRRRR it is winter your way!! It's 48 here this AM...I still have my gloves on as I'm typing this LOL...I hope it's really cold when we go to your place on New Years...I'm gonna find me a hat and scarf in a drawer or bag in the garage :) It's not too often we get to wear woolies LOL
It's a bit nippy here right now, as I type this. Supposed to get rain on Thursday, but MAN is it cold today...feels kind of good, but it's not getting me in the holiday spirit, like it normally would, obviously.
Thanks all for the luck on this week and the walking..
yes Kathi...it is cold today here...It's funny I heard many different weather reports today ...the networks can't seem be agree on it LOL...it does look like it's gonna rain today though!!! hang in there!!
OMG, I have been busy today...getting my "expense report" for the last three months to my sister, so she can get the form to SS; I'm being audited/evaluated (like I need that right now) to see if their overpaying me, which their not; but they have to check...why the hell they can't do that, since they're the ones auditing me, I haven't a clue...but I/we didn't want to run the risk of them STOPPING the money coming in all together while they do that; plus we have nothing to hide
Also got my walk in (boy, I can sure tell when I don't walk..my joints REALLY start hurting; it's almost like they're yelling at me to get off my ass and exercise 'em)
Kathi, remember the key is balance. Don't overdo and get in trouble with your feet! Do you have access to an indoor pool anywhere? That would be sooooo good for you! ;)
Hi everyone :) Lucky dog Tina...your Friday!! Wonderful for Jenna :D
Hey Steph...I like your advice to Kathi...balance :) so true~ Are you bringing a dish to the Wrather table??? What are you making???
Leighan...How are your preps going?? What are you making?? :D Mmmmmm Are the kiddies all excited?? How was the tournament this past weekend?? Did I miss an update on it?? And Tori gets in tomorrow :) so happy for all of you!!!
Kathi...Whata bummer about the audit...me and paperwork UGH!! Don't like it one bit!!
Today is white trailer trash Thanksgiving for our Dept at work :) hehehehe I have a frozen lean cuisine turkey dinner....really wanted banquet Mmmmmmm but thought about the sodium and changed my mind LOL
GOOD FOR YOU, BRENDA; I'm proud of you for not taking a Banquet; I have a bunch of those in my freezer and thinking of throwing them away, b/c of that very thing
Feeling better this am; was not having a great day yesterday/last night
Well, Brenda...if you have a 6-pack and a pack of Camels for after your turkey TV dinner, you would be correct with the white trailer trash...ha ha ha! I love it! How 'bout some Spam for the main course?
Glen Campbell (apparently he is from Arkansas), said if you are from Arkansas, and a person tells you, hey, you lost a shoe, you say back, no, I found one.
Hey girls.... we've been swamped.. at work.. and Mylee is very sick... she started wheezing yesterday, so KK is at the doctor with her... breathing treatments... UGH! Sam had asthma so very badly when little... I just hate that!!!!
I can't wait to hear about white trailer trash Thanksgiving!! I so love the idea...
I love all the Thanksgiving preparations! :) I love this time of year.....
Steph...you have made my day with your profound deep thoughts LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ohh the yummies your making...Mmmm mouth watering!!
Marci...that's just awful about Mylee!!! Goash hope she clears up quick so you are all healthy Thursday :) I love Thanksgiving too....my fav holiday :D
OMG!!! We had sooo much fun at our white trailer trash luncheon...many thought was a joke and didn't bring a TV dinner(so Steve and Stephanie brought extra TV dinners for those foks) we also had old dinner rolls from Medical Mngmts party last week...Steve stole them for our party...Stephanie brought also 7-11 apple pies....then we listened to 2 old bald men from the south compare thanksgiving recipies (Steve is a white gay guy from Kentucky and Gary is a black straight guy from the Carolinas) It was HYSTERICAL
heheheh Gary asked Steve...Steve didn't you ever go back into the smoke house to get the ham...Steve's like, no...I was too busy out behind the smokehouse playing with Billy LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
busy, busy, here at my pad today, doing laundry, getting ready for the LONG ASS bus ride to the doctor and then straight to my dad's...OY VAY; but it'll be good for me to spend the afternoon with him...he's so sad and depressed lately :(......... and then there's Thursday; which I know'll be good in a way, but not so good in another...AND I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING TO THE CEMETERY, if we go at all :( :(; but I feel like I'll have some "closure" in a way, ya know?
OMG Glen Campbell... both pictures look too fake and too rough!!! LOL I think the body builder looks worse than the drunk!!!!!!!! LOL I am smothering on that thong!!!!
OK.. we are watching TLC tonight... mysterious diagnosis... the little girl is vomiting during the night... and not remembering.. she is exhausted the next day... her stomach hurts... ... Gabrielle says, the girl has Epilepsy like me.... hello... my 7 year old knew every symptom this girl had... and yes, the girl on TLC has Epilepsy.... OMG.... I have another GENIUS in my house!!! LOL
That's incredible, Marci; I guess once you have a medical condition, you learn what the symptoms of it are...tell Gabby I'm proud of her; and I hope Miss Mylee is getting better, or will soon..poor baby
The one Glen Campbell was a fox.....the other one......not so much..LOL; I'll probably be on late tomorrow, if at all; want to spend quality time with Dad since he's been so depressed lately; same with Thursday (although, with it being such a tough day, with us going to the cemetery first, I may not be on at all)....wishing you all a GREAT holiday, LOTS of food and football, and lots of fun and blessed family time....oh, and when you guys get a chance, I posted again on my blog...wanna keep a regular update on how I'm/we're doing during this rough time of year
Kathi, forgive me if I seem harsh, but why do you have to go to the cemetary? Of course, you can remember without having to be graveside. I think that is just too much to handle on your first holiday season w/o her. Just my opinion.
When my father in law died, my husband's mother said she couldn't believe that we didn't take flowers to the grave on father's day...I think about him all of the time, without having to visit. My husband says he does, too. I prefer to remember him, alive. We still go, on occasion, though.
Like Marci said, we are here for you. Please take care of yourself!
LOL...OMG the pics above are great!! I remember that one of Glen Cambell's mug shot...think it was when he was arrested in Arizona...too much booze, ya think LOL..
the blog I was referring too was this one...if you saw the slide show first..then I was sending you to this blog for the description of them...LOL
Kathi...rough all around, isn't it :( can't avoid it, I know ...glad you did something nice for you...your haircut :)
Marci...that Gabby is one in touch little girl :) What a wonder she is!!!!! Hoping Mylee is better today!!!
Leighann ...how goes it all on your end...Tori home today??
Steph....hope you get time off this holiday :)
Tina...see you this afternoon for some burning of calories LOL...
Yes, all my girls are here and we are going to clean the house and start cooking some of the casseroles and stuff. Will try to make it to the Y for a good workout before tomorrow - LOL!!!
Paul came up to me last night and said, "It makes me happy to have all my girls in the house..." I swear he had tears in his eyes. We visited and had a great time - looking forward to this long weekend with them.
Leighann...that's so wonderful what Paul said :) that's so hard what all of you are going through...enjoy every minute!!! And Happy Cooking!!!!!!!! :D We just got word we are out of here 2 hours early...WOOHOO!! 12:30 for me!! Gives me a jump start on my afternoon~
Steph, it's called paying respects to my mother; yes, I do remember the good (and sometimes bad) times when my mom was alive, but I haven't been to the cemetery since the funeral, and I believe that .... I just to need to go, ok? Yes, her spirit will always be with me, and she'll always be in my heart, but I just need to talk to her and I believe talking to where she's "resting", I'm talking to her face to face... I do the same thing when I go up to Apple Valley and visit my uncle; I could really care less if people think that's a little strange...for me, because of my faith, it makes ... it just makes it easier (I'M sorry if THAT seems harsh, but I really got upset)
Don't feel bad Kathi or Steph...everyone is different in grieving...some people go to the cemetary others don't...all for various reasons...I'm sure Steph only meant those thoughts to ease any pain you would have from it...
In our family Kathi...we visit the cemetaries frequently and even have lunch or happy hour there...I would go to see my brother in laws there and down the hill is a friend of mine...pouring some of her cocktail on her brothers grave..while some of my inlaws can't bear to go but every few years, and that's forced...
It's a all good Kathi...HUGS!!! You too Steph HUGS!!!
Leigh Ann, that is wonderful what Paul said... I got goosebumps!!! :)
I hope all my girlies have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends... :) remembering past Holidays and loved ones and looking forward to making new memories with loved ones now.
Tina!!! Mmmm have fun with those pies :) sorry about the remote
I feel like I am the only one working today!!!!!!!!!!! It's killing me to sit in this chair LOL...ok...count down...I'm actually leaving at noon not 12:30...so, toodles as I wrap up my work day....and go join the rest of the world :D
Wow, Kathi...you really read way too much into what I said. That was in no way meant as disrespectful. I was shocked to read your response. You just seemed like you were dreading going, and I was only trying to be a friend and tell you that you didn't HAVE to go. I was offering anything I had to help, but as often happens, I end up offending someone. But, if you needed someone to explode on, I guess I am happy to have been there for ya. Sorry I mentioned it; it wont happen again.
Leigh Ann, yes, we will have a good time tomorrow, I am determined!
I was thinking about prepping the mushrooms and then popping them in the oven once we got there, so they would not be cold, but I am sure your kitchen will be overwhelmed as-is. Well, maybe they will still be good!
Oh, I bet your house does smell good:) You can pop the mushrooms in over here...it should be fine. Understand what you were trying to tell Kathi, as I am sure she does now as well. See ya tomorrow!
Kathi, we are all here for you:) We are all just trying...
Steph & leigh ann, what time is lunch? I'll leave early! LOL shit, I would LOVE to have the opportunity the scare the shit out of both of you!!!!!
Kathi, thinking of you.... we love you... take a breather.... it's ok.... let us know how everything goes... I too, just took it as Steph trying to be there for you.... but I know what you are saying as far as being Catholic and traditions with graveyards.... but also remember to be respectful to others....
enough of all of that.... everyone here loves each other and supports each other... we are all a bunch of BITCHES!!! LOL but... the bitches love each other... :)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO MY BITCHES!
and I mean that deep down in my heart!!!!
My sister (the bitch) will see Mylee for the first time tomorrow.... MB adn my two brothers said she had better not say anything.... (my boys protect me!!!!)d.....
I'm sorry, Steph; I have just been an EMOTIONAL WRECK this whole damn week (and I can tell, cuz I smoked/am in the process of, three packs of cigs this week alone), so please don't take anything I say personally..PLEASE FORGIVE ME? I think because of my disability (and my sister made a very good point of this earlier this month) what I THINK and what come out of my mouth are sometimes two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things; and, like today, it gets me in a ****load of trouble..so I do apologize; I am most definitely dreading going to the cemetery, but I think if I don't, I can't really start the healing process; I don't know if that makes sense to you... ? I love you, and everyone else, for trying to help
Thanks for the laugh, Marci..we can be bitches sometimes, huh? But it is all in love; we are here to support each other, and again, I CANNOT TELL YOU GUYS ENOUGH how much your love and support has gotten me through..I do love you all
Brenda, thank YOU for always trying to be the peace maker
Well, I didn't end up going to Dad's afterall; TWO people, one being a new (male) nurse, came over to FORCE him to take a shower, which we haven't been successful at in the past at night; my sister said it probably will be "the war of the worlds", so too many people there would have made it a WHOLE LOT worse..I just tried calling her to see how it went, and she didn't want to talk to me (just because I rented another car to go to the doctor, and I only did that because I didn't want to be stuck in the rain, which it didn't end up doing afterall, on the bus...made sense to me, but apparently not to her); speaking of that...OMG, I almost lost it right there in the exam room, because he (and this doctor I've seen for 16 years, so he's almost like a family friend now, b/c shortly before Mom passed, she was referred to him) wanted me to "open up" and tell him about what happened... WELL, I opened up to him, but I was good and held back the emotions...until I got outside; and then the "flood gates" opened while I was on the phone with my sister; felt good to get it out, cuz my tummy wasn't feeling so good
I think this is one of, if not THE, longest post I have ever done on here...sorry, Leigh Ann, for taking up so much space
What wonderful talk about Thanksgiving food :) I do love it all...As I was leaving work...I started going downhill :( COming down with...Flu??? Cold?? Hmmm not sure...poor Tina...sorry you had to be there in my bad mood...when I don't feel good...I'm not in a good mood...did go to the gym...but barely...got home to ask Steve to pick up the load for me...LMAO...poor guy isn't feeling all that well either :( Well, we both managed to get done what needed to be done...my mom is all about tradition...it's the swedish in her...so of course..it has rubbed off on me...
Looking forward to tomorrow with my girl's, my parents and our dear friend big John who's family is in Pennsylvania...
Wishing you all lots of good food ...family and friends :) Lots of love and hugs!!!!!
And OMG, Marci, about your sister coming to see Mylee for the first time (good for you, though, for not dropping the "f-bomb"); you have GOT to tell us how that all went down (right now, I'm humming the "Mission: Impossible" theme)
LOL Brenda, us posting at the same time got me booted, and I had to retype my password...LMAO; hope you also have a great day tomorrow; MY LORD, I can already smell the turkey cooking...can't WAIT to get to my brother's place; other than this year, of course, this has got to be my all time favorite holiday, food wise
Kathi, No worries about how long a post is...this is what our blog is all about!
Stephanie, Can't wait to see you guys later!
Marci, Nice email from Jeanine, uh? Dad made me feel guilty for not coming to LA for today, but shit, I am always driving and NEVER home. So, I can only do what I can.
Tina, Are you guys going to your parents?
Brenda, I hope your not getting sick - that stinks!
Happy Thanksgiving to the greatest group of women I know! Will have spiral ham today here at home, with all the fixin's. And then Barstow on Saturday for the TURKEY meal... lol
Happy Thanksgiving all.... Leigh Ann, you can only do so much... and yes, you are driving all the time... you just went last month for the wedding.. and I am sure you will be able to visit more than when in California... so don't feel guilty....
I am going to visit on Saturday....
Did Johnny tell you they did a sonogram????? he was all excited... he said everything looked great!
My sister, was kind of scary... she scooped up Mylee within 5 minutes of us being there... and held her another 2 or 3 times... I really didn't talk to her.... I will need lots of time to heal... I know that is selfish... but oh well.....
Good for you Marci :) glad there was a Mylee bonding moment for her...
Who was the anonymous??? very very odd!!!!!!
Leighann ...no guilt allowed for you!!!!!!! You are one amazing wonder :) Lots of love to you for all you do!!
We had a great day...I just took my time around here...feeling much better...Allyson has me talked into FOUR AM shopping with our neighbors...I've never been up that early to shop...
Yeah, Kohl's is open at 4:00am tomorrow, when everyone else'll be opening up at 5 or 6; I'm not crazy enough to even attempt to be NEAR a store, but less IN one, the day after Thanksgiving...
See Marci, I knew that once your family took their first look at Mylee, they'll act like nothing's ever happened; meanwhile, you want to ring their necks
We didn't end up going to the cemetery afterall, before heading up north...traffic was a NIGHTMARE on the 5, and it would've been worse if we had stopped...it was very nice, but oh, so lonely (and quiet; not that my mom was loud, but she lit up any room she was in and was the life of the party) w/o Mom; unfortunately, we now know what my sil goes through every holiday - her mom died 11 months before our mom.
I'm gonna declare something right now; I'M GONNA QUIT SMOKING, and LA, I'd like my ticker (starting tomorrow) now to be the number of days I've been off cigs, if that's alright with you (?); my sister noticed it THE SECOND I got in her car today; and basically chewed me a new one, but I SO DESERVE IT; she made me realize that not only would my mom be absolutely CRUSHED if she knew I was back at it, but also that my Aunt Colleen and Aunt Diane both died of cancer, and fought for every last breath (they didn't die of smoking related cancer; both had breast, which came back SO AGGRESSIVELY elsewhere), which got me thinking of how the cousins that lost their moms would feel if they knew that I was smoking; that made me think long and hard...
But I also thought about my sil's mom; she smoked for YEARS...and in her last few years, she was hooked to an oxygen tank; and died somewhat unexpectedly from emphysema
I don't know who that is...a coward for not signing their name, that's for sure!
I would delete it, but it reminds me of how blessed I am to have true friends...how's that for ass kissing "anonymous"...but then they said they loved us??? I am confused!
Stephanie, how's Ansley? She got sick last night...
Must be the same ass that was on my blog. Cant get THERE anymore so decided to come here?
Oh...and if you have a problem with walmart and mcdonalds iced coffee...you are someone we dont want to know anyway. So... i choose to ignore you till you grow enough balls to sign your name. I wont do a battle of wits with an unarmed blogger... so go away.
So anywho...hope everyones thanksgiving was good! Im going to oceanside today to meet a friend for lunch. I havent seen her since Jan of last year, so this will be fun. The girls may come too. Then, if all goes well, Brenda and I will hit the gym later today.
YAY!!! How VERY cool for Tori!!! Im thinking of hauling down the decorations later this afternoon myself! We will get our tree next weekend, more than likely... Tell Scott Happy Thanksgiving!
Had a GREAT visit with my friend Diane! I cant believe its been almost a YEAR! Traffic stunk but I crossed over the 78 frwy and came home on I-15 vs I-5. That cut the commute in half.
We had lunch at El Torito's! MY FAV. and then coffee at Starbucks...then back to the train station and home. I have a bit of a headache... so am gonna take a couple Advil and lay down for a bit. My eyes feel a tad light sensitive and i do NOT want a migrane... so... we will nip it in the bud.
we are chilling, Madi wanted pizza so it just got here... MB & Gabrielle are on their way home from hunting.. no luck... Mike did kill 2 deer, one Monday and one Tuesday.... he was excited. he and KK go tomorrow for her hunter's safety and to get her license.. and they will hunt on Sunday...
That's awesome about KK's car and her hunting license....What kind of car did you guys end up getting her?...and TOO FUNNY about the "anonym-ass" comment; NO ONE MESSES WITH OUR TINA.....
Hope you feel better soon, Tina
"Anonymous", you're really askin for it now that you ticked off Nonnie
Hi all...we watched home movies tonight from when Paul and I just got together...Rayna was almost two...it was incredible...Tori was black we spent so much time at the beach and pool. Laughed till I cried!
OMG; I remember when Tori was that dark!!! AND RAYNA WAS SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE (AND TINY!!!); I LOVE IT, LEIGH ANN!!! Is it your anniversary or something? Is that what got you watching them?
Congrats to the young ladies and their new cars :D Sooo very exciting!!!! I'm sure they are loving the whole experience of it all!!
Tina...what a great time that must have been to hook up with a friend after not seeing each other in so long~ Makes you appreciate those close to us :) I know I appreciate all of you!! Hope you're feeling better when you head out of town!!!! I thought better of going to the gym...don't have the extra energy to do it...although Steve and I did shop today...I never made the extra early morning rush with the neighbors LOL
Leighann...I'm sure those old movies were extra special to you and Paul :) Very cool to go back and watch them!!!!
Steph...sorry to hear about your sick little one...hoping she is better now!!!!
Marci...that is alot of deer meat...how long does 2 deer last in your large family??? Very cool about KK and her license to hunt :)
Kathi..I love the idea of you switching gears to concentrate on the no smoking...you know what is best for you :) Lots of love you have been receiving from your family about it too :D
Who is this no name person on the blog??? It's really creepy to me :( I don't like it!!!!! Can you just go away...or show yourself...
I wouldn't necessarily call it love, Brenda; in fact, IF the rest of them were to find out, my sister said that I'm done with the family (I agreed with that); She made a very good point, that I was too dumb to realize....OUR AUNT JUST DIED FROM CANCER two weeks after Mom did; and we have another aunt that died from the disease almost six years ago; that got me thinking about the cousins that lost their moms, and what they would think if they knew I was smoking; they would be so incredibly hurt that I would CHOOSE to do this to myself, when their moms DIDN'T have a choice in the matter; I can't do that to the five of them (actually there's seven all together, but two of my Aunt Colleen's kids - she had three altogether - aren't any help; and my Aunt Diane had four); I love them too much
Ok, so I found out from sissy last night that we might go to the cemetery TODAY; which I think'll be good, not only cuz it'll be mine and my dad's first time, but now that Thanksgiving's over, I'm not as stressed or anxious about it (YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, STEPHANIE; thank you for looking out for me...and I apologize again for being such a bitch the other day); this'll really be my sister's only chance in taking us before Christmas, since she starts back to school next week, and goes to Chicago next weekend
I'm doin alright, Bren; I'm at Pooh Bear's right now; just gonna hang out until Dad decides whether or not he wants to go to the cemetery; that way, sister can pick us both up, possibly go to church, out to dinner and then they might bring me home
OK, so weird Mrs. Wrather... we also watched home movies until 11:30 last night... we watched Madison & Gabrielle's births.. (nothing ooky).... and of course the video of my pregnant stomach and Madison shifting it everywhere... it was funny to see KK & Sam's reactions...on the video.. they where 8 & 9 1/2...
Steph, hoping baby girl feels better..
Kathi, I also like the non smoking ticker...
Bren, the deer meat... we usually let Mike's BF do smoked sausage... and then we also do stew meat for veggie soup... roasts, and backstrap for grilling... the backstrap is like Filet Mignon.. so tender... so if he kills at least 2.. it will last all year... I usually cook venison at least once a week... sometimes 2.... so it helps tremendously...
Kathi, KK's car is a Dodge Caliber. (her friend told her it looks like my Durango had a baby! LOL
MB is putting my tree up right now... and I'm on the computer and drinking a beer.... :)
Tina, how far of a drive? and how was it to visit with everyone? I hope ya'll have a great time!
Leigh Ann, Jeanine had said something abouot Christmas on the 21st.... at Paw Paw's..... I told her that was definately better for us b/c Christmas is so hard to get away and drive..... I hope ya'll are able to make it...
Tell Rayna... she won't believe how much her baby does now and how much she has grown! :) sitting up, crawling, shakes her head no no, waves bye bye, says Nanana (that's me... :) :) :0) mama, of course da da....
Poor Marci, in the room all by herself; I'M HERE NOW; spent quality time with Pooh Bear today, so stayed away from the computer, as hard as it was... Marci, my sister lives probably five, six miles from me (but Pooh Bear is my dad; and I/we call him that cuz he has a round belly, just like Pooh)
I knew that was your dad.. I just like that.... it's perfect for a Paw Paw.... Now, I have to ask.... why can't your sister take you to the store once a week?... just curious... don't won't to cause waves....
Leigh Ann, I posted some great pics from today... and a funny video... I am so glad I figured out how my camera can do that.... I will irratate yall now with videos!!!! LOL
Hey all!! I talked to Leighann and Steph tonight...they had all just got back from winetasting...it was so good to ralk to you Steph on the phone for the first time!!!!!! Can't wait to see everyone on New Years...Leighann drives back to Pcola in the morning...I sooo feel for you Leighann...it's a heartbreaker....I hope your routine downthere fills up your plate so you're too tired to miss the family too much before your eyes shut for a nights sleep...
OK...back to the garage...where I make things LOL
Marci...too cool about the home videos...the deer meat ..KKs car...and the holiday decor...I will get over to your blog tonight
Marci, my sister can't take me to the store once a week because she's up to her eyeballs in her own "to do lists"; she just doesn't have the time (or the energy); and that's especially true this week, because she starts back to school, has to start report cards and has the Chicago trip next weekend; which is gonna make her miss a day of school
KK passed her test, and she and Mike headed out to the woods at 4 a.m. (I hope she gets a deer!) of course, they did not bring my camera or hers....
Kathi, the car we found is a program car.... it's got 30K miles on it.. (I still consider it new, but the dealerships don't) of course they are hurting to sell cars, so you can really get a great deal.... we weren't planning on getting something like this...
I'm going to go get a shower... and get dressed.... Nonnie needs to go shopping again! :)
What's a program car? Any car with 30K miles on it these days, I also consider new; and (referring to an earlier post of yours) it does kind of look like the Durango had a baby, doesn't it? That was so cute what you said
This is my THIRD DAY w/o a cig; I'm craving one SOOOOOOOOOOO bad, but I'm gonna fight it

It's a bit nippy here right now, as I type this. Supposed to get rain on Thursday, but MAN is it cold today...feels kind of good, but it's not getting me in the holiday spirit, like it normally would, obviously.
Thanks all for the luck on this week and the walking..
yes Kathi...it is cold today here...It's funny I heard many different weather reports today ...the networks can't seem be agree on it LOL...it does look like it's gonna rain today though!!! hang in there!!
OMG, I have been busy today...getting my "expense report" for the last three months to my sister, so she can get the form to SS; I'm being audited/evaluated (like I need that right now) to see if their overpaying me, which their not; but they have to check...why the hell they can't do that, since they're the ones auditing me, I haven't a clue...but I/we didn't want to run the risk of them STOPPING the money coming in all together while they do that; plus we have nothing to hide
Also got my walk in (boy, I can sure tell when I don't walk..my joints REALLY start hurting; it's almost like they're yelling at me to get off my ass and exercise 'em)
LOL - that's funny about your joints, Kathi! Audits are no fun...
Marci,
I am checking my work email or you can send it to wratherp@hotmail.com
Happy Friday, Tina:)
Hi Stephanie and Brenda!
Hi, Leigh Ann!
Kathi, remember the key is balance. Don't overdo and get in trouble with your feet! Do you have access to an indoor pool anywhere? That would be sooooo good for you! ;)
Brenda, Tina, Marci, what's going on?
Happy FRIDAY!!! WHOOOT!!!
Hope you all have a great day! Jenna gets her braces off in SIX WEEKS!!! She is so excited!! It will be mid January.
I call today and schedule the exact day!!
LeighAnn... i LOVE your picture in your glamper girl shirt!! toooo cute!
Hope everyon has a wonderful Tuesday/Friday!!!
Tina, how's ole Fred's leg? ;)
Hi everyone :) Lucky dog Tina...your Friday!! Wonderful for Jenna :D
Hey Steph...I like your advice to Kathi...balance :) so true~ Are you bringing a dish to the Wrather table??? What are you making???
Leighan...How are your preps going?? What are you making?? :D Mmmmmm Are the kiddies all excited?? How was the tournament this past weekend?? Did I miss an update on it?? And Tori gets in tomorrow :) so happy for all of you!!!
Kathi...Whata bummer about the audit...me and paperwork UGH!! Don't like it one bit!!
Today is white trailer trash Thanksgiving for our Dept at work :) hehehehe I have a frozen lean cuisine turkey dinner....really wanted banquet Mmmmmmm but thought about the sodium and changed my mind LOL
Hey Marci...how are the Thanksgiving preps going for you?? Are you getting any time off??
GOOD FOR YOU, BRENDA; I'm proud of you for not taking a Banquet; I have a bunch of those in my freezer and thinking of throwing them away, b/c of that very thing
Feeling better this am; was not having a great day yesterday/last night
Well, Brenda...if you have a 6-pack and a pack of Camels for after your turkey TV dinner, you would be correct with the white trailer trash...ha ha ha! I love it! How 'bout some Spam for the main course?
Glen Campbell (apparently he is from Arkansas), said if you are from Arkansas, and a person tells you, hey, you lost a shoe, you say back, no, I found one.
Profound thoughts for the day...
Brenda, we are bringing stuffed mushrooms (with Gruyere cheese and other yummies) and deviled eggs, and streusel-topped pumpkin pies to Thanksgiving.
Hey girls.... we've been swamped.. at work..
and Mylee is very sick...
she started wheezing yesterday, so KK is at the doctor with her... breathing treatments... UGH! Sam had asthma so very badly when little... I just hate that!!!!
I can't wait to hear about white trailer trash Thanksgiving!! I so love the idea...
I love all the Thanksgiving preparations!
:) I love this time of year.....
Steph...you have made my day with your profound deep thoughts LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ohh the yummies your making...Mmmm mouth watering!!
Marci...that's just awful about Mylee!!! Goash hope she clears up quick so you are all healthy Thursday :) I love Thanksgiving too....my fav holiday :D
Steph that does sound good.... ya'll will have such a grand time!
Deviled eggs is one of my favorites!!! yum yum!
OMG!!! We had sooo much fun at our white trailer trash luncheon...many thought was a joke and didn't bring a TV dinner(so Steve and Stephanie brought extra TV dinners for those foks) we also had old dinner rolls from Medical Mngmts party last week...Steve stole them for our party...Stephanie brought also 7-11 apple pies....then we listened to 2 old bald men from the south compare thanksgiving recipies (Steve is a white gay guy from Kentucky and Gary is a black straight guy from the Carolinas) It was HYSTERICAL
LOL!!! OMG Stephanie..."I found one (shoe)" - I almost fell out of my chair laughing! I should share the pics you emailed me!
Hope Mylee gets to feeling better.
Brenda, what a riot - I would have loved to have been there...I would have been the one with the six pack! ROF!!!
heheheh Gary asked Steve...Steve didn't you ever go back into the smoke house to get the ham...Steve's like, no...I was too busy out behind the smokehouse playing with Billy LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG Brenda... did you take pictures??????? I can't wait .... please post!
can't wait for Thursday (to be off of course & Friday!!! a long weekend for me... they don't happen too often here...
Leigh Ann, I laughed again, reading your response to the Glen Campbell stuff....that would be funny to see those pics on the blog! HA HA HA HA!!!
Leigh Ann, I also meant to say that if you post the pics, you have to tell the whole story, about the e-mail...they missed my dumb blonde moment. :)
...playing with Billy - OMG!!!!!! I didn't see anything on your blog.
well Steph, you have a blog? would love to see you and your family!
OK... I went back... that was my moment....
LOL Brenda's blog...
but Steph, you really need a blog!
Everyone, I posted the pictures from Stephanie's "moment"...too funny!
I am still confused about Brenda's blog, though...I got the power point about the twins...but, didn't see anything on her blog.
Help - I am having s moment as well!
busy, busy, here at my pad today, doing laundry, getting ready for the LONG ASS bus ride to the doctor and then straight to my dad's...OY VAY; but it'll be good for me to spend the afternoon with him...he's so sad and depressed lately :(......... and then there's Thursday; which I know'll be good in a way, but not so good in another...AND I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING TO THE CEMETERY, if we go at all :( :(; but I feel like I'll have some "closure" in a way, ya know?
But I got my hair cut today, so that made me feel good doing that all by myself (and beating the rain home)
OMG Glen Campbell... both pictures look too fake and too rough!!! LOL
I think the body builder looks worse than the drunk!!!!!!!! LOL
I am smothering on that thong!!!!
OK.. we are watching TLC tonight... mysterious diagnosis...
the little girl is vomiting during the night... and not remembering.. she is exhausted the next day... her stomach hurts... ...
Gabrielle says, the girl has Epilepsy like me.... hello... my 7 year old knew every symptom this girl had... and yes, the girl on TLC has Epilepsy....
OMG.... I have another GENIUS in my house!!! LOL
That's incredible, Marci; I guess once you have a medical condition, you learn what the symptoms of it are...tell Gabby I'm proud of her; and I hope Miss Mylee is getting better, or will soon..poor baby
The one Glen Campbell was a fox.....the other one......not so much..LOL; I'll probably be on late tomorrow, if at all; want to spend quality time with Dad since he's been so depressed lately; same with Thursday (although, with it being such a tough day, with us going to the cemetery first, I may not be on at all)....wishing you all a GREAT holiday, LOTS of food and football, and lots of fun and blessed family time....oh, and when you guys get a chance, I posted again on my blog...wanna keep a regular update on how I'm/we're doing during this rough time of year
Kathi.... I am SOOOOOO proud of you.... keep posting it will help you heal and get thru everyday...
Thanks, Marci
Kathi, forgive me if I seem harsh, but why do you have to go to the cemetary? Of course, you can remember without having to be graveside. I think that is just too much to handle on your first holiday season w/o her. Just my opinion.
When my father in law died, my husband's mother said she couldn't believe that we didn't take flowers to the grave on father's day...I think about him all of the time, without having to visit. My husband says he does, too. I prefer to remember him, alive. We still go, on occasion, though.
Like Marci said, we are here for you. Please take care of yourself!
Marci, I know...is that thong not the most disgusting thing you ever saw? Thank goodness we were spared the rear view! :)
LOL...OMG the pics above are great!! I remember that one of Glen Cambell's mug shot...think it was when he was arrested in Arizona...too much booze, ya think LOL..
the blog I was referring too was this one...if you saw the slide show first..then I was sending you to this blog for the description of them...LOL
Kathi...rough all around, isn't it :( can't avoid it, I know ...glad you did something nice for you...your haircut :)
Marci...that Gabby is one in touch little girl :) What a wonder she is!!!!! Hoping Mylee is better today!!!
Leighann ...how goes it all on your end...Tori home today??
Steph....hope you get time off this holiday :)
Tina...see you this afternoon for some burning of calories LOL...
Hi all!
Yes, all my girls are here and we are going to clean the house and start cooking some of the casseroles and stuff. Will try to make it to the Y for a good workout before tomorrow - LOL!!!
Paul came up to me last night and said, "It makes me happy to have all my girls in the house..." I swear he had tears in his eyes. We visited and had a great time - looking forward to this long weekend with them.
Leighann...that's so wonderful what Paul said :) that's so hard what all of you are going through...enjoy every minute!!! And Happy Cooking!!!!!!!! :D We just got word we are out of here 2 hours early...WOOHOO!! 12:30 for me!! Gives me a jump start on my afternoon~
Oh God, Leigh Ann; I was about to cry myself...
Steph, it's called paying respects to my mother; yes, I do remember the good (and sometimes bad) times when my mom was alive, but I haven't been to the cemetery since the funeral, and I believe that .... I just to need to go, ok? Yes, her spirit will always be with me, and she'll always be in my heart, but I just need to talk to her and I believe talking to where she's "resting", I'm talking to her face to face... I do the same thing when I go up to Apple Valley and visit my uncle; I could really care less if people think that's a little strange...for me, because of my faith, it makes ... it just makes it easier (I'M sorry if THAT seems harsh, but I really got upset)
Don't feel bad Kathi or Steph...everyone is different in grieving...some people go to the cemetary others don't...all for various reasons...I'm sure Steph only meant those thoughts to ease any pain you would have from it...
In our family Kathi...we visit the cemetaries frequently and even have lunch or happy hour there...I would go to see my brother in laws there and down the hill is a friend of mine...pouring some of her cocktail on her brothers grave..while some of my inlaws can't bear to go but every few years, and that's forced...
It's a all good Kathi...HUGS!!!
You too Steph HUGS!!!
Leigh Ann, that is wonderful what Paul said... I got goosebumps!!!
:)
I hope all my girlies have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends...
:) remembering past Holidays and loved ones and looking forward to making new memories with loved ones now.
You too Marci :)
HAPPY DAY before thanksgiving!!! Im getting ready to go to time warner and replace my freaking box remote...
WHEEEEE. Then home to cook a cherry pie and pumpkin pie.
THEN later this afternoon... to the gym with Brenda! BUSY day!
Tina!!! Mmmm have fun with those pies :) sorry about the remote
I feel like I am the only one working today!!!!!!!!!!! It's killing me to sit in this chair LOL...ok...count down...I'm actually leaving at noon not 12:30...so, toodles as I wrap up my work day....and go join the rest of the world :D
Hi everyone...it's been really stressful trying to get on line...Comacast was supposed to come today, but they were a no show.
We have cooked just about everything...I will throw the turkey and ham in tomorrow along with the stuffing.
Wish I could be with ALL of you tomorrow!!!
Stephanie, I will have you, thank goodness:) We will take pictures for the rest of you!
Wow, Kathi...you really read way too much into what I said. That was in no way meant as disrespectful. I was shocked to read your response. You just seemed like you were dreading going, and I was only trying to be a friend and tell you that you didn't HAVE to go. I was offering anything I had to help, but as often happens, I end up offending someone. But, if you needed someone to explode on, I guess I am happy to have been there for ya. Sorry I mentioned it; it wont happen again.
Thank you, Brenda, for your kind words!
Leigh Ann, yes, we will have a good time tomorrow, I am determined!
I was thinking about prepping the mushrooms and then popping them in the oven once we got there, so they would not be cold, but I am sure your kitchen will be overwhelmed as-is. Well, maybe they will still be good!
Just finished my pies. The house smells great!
Oh, I bet your house does smell good:) You can pop the mushrooms in over here...it should be fine. Understand what you were trying to tell Kathi, as I am sure she does now as well. See ya tomorrow!
Kathi, we are all here for you:) We are all just trying...
Steph & leigh ann, what time is lunch? I'll leave early! LOL
shit, I would LOVE to have the opportunity the scare the shit out of both of you!!!!!
Kathi, thinking of you.... we love you... take a breather....
it's ok.... let us know how everything goes... I too, just took it as Steph trying to be there for you.... but I know what you are saying as far as being Catholic and traditions with graveyards.... but also remember to be respectful to others....
enough of all of that.... everyone here loves each other and supports each other... we are all a bunch of BITCHES!!! LOL
but... the bitches love each other... :)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO MY BITCHES!
and I mean that deep down in my heart!!!!
My sister (the bitch) will see Mylee for the first time tomorrow.... MB adn my two brothers said she had better not say anything.... (my boys protect me!!!!)d.....
Potty mouth tonight... good thing I didn't throw out the "F" bomb!!!
I'm sorry, Steph; I have just been an EMOTIONAL WRECK this whole damn week (and I can tell, cuz I smoked/am in the process of, three packs of cigs this week alone), so please don't take anything I say personally..PLEASE FORGIVE ME? I think because of my disability (and my sister made a very good point of this earlier this month) what I THINK and what come out of my mouth are sometimes two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things; and, like today, it gets me in a ****load of trouble..so I do apologize; I am most definitely dreading going to the cemetery, but I think if I don't, I can't really start the healing process; I don't know if that makes sense to you... ? I love you, and everyone else, for trying to help
Thanks for the laugh, Marci..we can be bitches sometimes, huh? But it is all in love; we are here to support each other, and again, I CANNOT TELL YOU GUYS ENOUGH how much your love and support has gotten me through..I do love you all
Brenda, thank YOU for always trying to be the peace maker
Well, I didn't end up going to Dad's afterall; TWO people, one being a new (male) nurse, came over to FORCE him to take a shower, which we haven't been successful at in the past at night; my sister said it probably will be "the war of the worlds", so too many people there would have made it a WHOLE LOT worse..I just tried calling her to see how it went, and she didn't want to talk to me (just because I rented another car to go to the doctor, and I only did that because I didn't want to be stuck in the rain, which it didn't end up doing afterall, on the bus...made sense to me, but apparently not to her); speaking of that...OMG, I almost lost it right there in the exam room, because he (and this doctor I've seen for 16 years, so he's almost like a family friend now, b/c shortly before Mom passed, she was referred to him) wanted me to "open up" and tell him about what happened... WELL, I opened up to him, but I was good and held back the emotions...until I got outside; and then the "flood gates" opened while I was on the phone with my sister; felt good to get it out, cuz my tummy wasn't feeling so good
I think this is one of, if not THE, longest post I have ever done on here...sorry, Leigh Ann, for taking up so much space
Hi all...potty mouths!!! LOL
What wonderful talk about Thanksgiving food :) I do love it all...As I was leaving work...I started going downhill :( COming down with...Flu??? Cold?? Hmmm not sure...poor Tina...sorry you had to be there in my bad mood...when I don't feel good...I'm not in a good mood...did go to the gym...but barely...got home to ask Steve to pick up the load for me...LMAO...poor guy isn't feeling all that well either :( Well, we both managed to get done what needed to be done...my mom is all about tradition...it's the swedish in her...so of course..it has rubbed off on me...
Looking forward to tomorrow with my girl's, my parents and our dear friend big John who's family is in Pennsylvania...
Wishing you all lots of good food ...family and friends :) Lots of love and hugs!!!!!
And OMG, Marci, about your sister coming to see Mylee for the first time (good for you, though, for not dropping the "f-bomb"); you have GOT to tell us how that all went down (right now, I'm humming the "Mission: Impossible" theme)
LOL Brenda, us posting at the same time got me booted, and I had to retype my password...LMAO; hope you also have a great day tomorrow; MY LORD, I can already smell the turkey cooking...can't WAIT to get to my brother's place; other than this year, of course, this has got to be my all time favorite holiday, food wise
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Kathi,
No worries about how long a post is...this is what our blog is all about!
Stephanie,
Can't wait to see you guys later!
Marci,
Nice email from Jeanine, uh? Dad made me feel guilty for not coming to LA for today, but shit, I am always driving and NEVER home. So, I can only do what I can.
Tina,
Are you guys going to your parents?
Brenda,
I hope your not getting sick - that stinks!
Hope everyone enjoys thier day:D
I love you all!
Happy Thanksgiving to the greatest group of women I know! Will have spiral ham today here at home, with all the fixin's. And then Barstow on Saturday for the TURKEY meal... lol
Hope you all have a wonderful day.
Sounds great Tina! Miss you!
Tina, L.A stop the ass kissing. The 2 biggest back (stabber)talker in the world. Watch out ladies!!LOL
Love you all and happy thanksgiving.
hurry and delete before anyone sees it. LOL
OK, who is anonymous?????
LOL
Happy Thanksgiving all....
Leigh Ann, you can only do so much... and yes, you are driving all the time... you just went last month for the wedding.. and I am sure you will be able to visit more than when in California... so don't feel guilty....
I am going to visit on Saturday....
Did Johnny tell you they did a sonogram????? he was all excited... he said everything looked great!
My sister, was kind of scary... she scooped up Mylee within 5 minutes of us being there... and held her another 2 or 3 times...
I really didn't talk to her.... I will need lots of time to heal...
I know that is selfish... but oh well.....
Good for you Marci :) glad there was a Mylee bonding moment for her...
Who was the anonymous??? very very odd!!!!!!
Leighann ...no guilt allowed for you!!!!!!! You are one amazing wonder :) Lots of love to you for all you do!!
We had a great day...I just took my time around here...feeling much better...Allyson has me talked into FOUR AM shopping with our neighbors...I've never been up that early to shop...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!!
Yeah, Kohl's is open at 4:00am tomorrow, when everyone else'll be opening up at 5 or 6; I'm not crazy enough to even attempt to be NEAR a store, but less IN one, the day after Thanksgiving...
See Marci, I knew that once your family took their first look at Mylee, they'll act like nothing's ever happened; meanwhile, you want to ring their necks
We didn't end up going to the cemetery afterall, before heading up north...traffic was a NIGHTMARE on the 5, and it would've been worse if we had stopped...it was very nice, but oh, so lonely (and quiet; not that my mom was loud, but she lit up any room she was in and was the life of the party) w/o Mom; unfortunately, we now know what my sil goes through every holiday - her mom died 11 months before our mom.
I'm gonna declare something right now; I'M GONNA QUIT SMOKING, and LA, I'd like my ticker (starting tomorrow) now to be the number of days I've been off cigs, if that's alright with you (?); my sister noticed it THE SECOND I got in her car today; and basically chewed me a new one, but I SO DESERVE IT; she made me realize that not only would my mom be absolutely CRUSHED if she knew I was back at it, but also that my Aunt Colleen and Aunt Diane both died of cancer, and fought for every last breath (they didn't die of smoking related cancer; both had breast, which came back SO AGGRESSIVELY elsewhere), which got me thinking of how the cousins that lost their moms would feel if they knew that I was smoking; that made me think long and hard...
But I also thought about my sil's mom; she smoked for YEARS...and in her last few years, she was hooked to an oxygen tank; and died somewhat unexpectedly from emphysema
Who is anonymous? That was not nice, HONESTLY, nor did it really make any sense. Did I miss some ass-kissing somewhere on the blog yesterday? :(
I don't know who that is...a coward for not signing their name, that's for sure!
I would delete it, but it reminds me of how blessed I am to have true friends...how's that for ass kissing "anonymous"...but then they said they loved us??? I am confused!
Stephanie, how's Ansley? She got sick last night...
I would be blessed too if I have true friends that kiss my ass. LOL
Love and kisses LA BWAHAAAAAHAAA
.but then they said they loved us??? I am confused! Thanks for the laugh this morning!!!
Get off our blog, bitch!
Get off our blog, bitch!
LOL long wait at walmart this morning or did you camp out last night? LOL
don't feel bad tina was at walmart this morning chatting with you this morning with her mcdonalds ice coffee. LOL
Must be the same ass that was on my blog. Cant get THERE anymore so decided to come here?
Oh...and if you have a problem with walmart and mcdonalds iced coffee...you are someone we dont want to know anyway. So... i choose to ignore you till you grow enough balls to sign your name. I wont do a battle of wits with an unarmed blogger... so go away.
So anywho...hope everyones thanksgiving was good! Im going to oceanside today to meet a friend for lunch. I havent seen her since Jan of last year, so this will be fun. The girls may come too. Then, if all goes well, Brenda and I will hit the gym later today.
Have a great friday everyone!
We are going to put up the tree...Scott got here safe and sound with Tori's CAR!!!
YAY!!! How VERY cool for Tori!!! Im thinking of hauling down the decorations later this afternoon myself! We will get our tree next weekend, more than likely... Tell Scott Happy Thanksgiving!
What kind of car is it, LA? I'm excited for Tori...YAY!
To "Anonymous"; um, I think you're on OUR blog, SO GET THE HELL OUT!!! And don't mess with Tina...she'll kick your ass into next week
Hey ladies....
so cool for Tori, we also found one for KK, went sign and will finalize on Monday!!!!
YEAH for Tori & KK....
what did Scott find for her?
Anonymous? or Anonym-ass... LOL
Now, you got Nonnie mad!!!
Hey ladies!!
Had a GREAT visit with my friend Diane! I cant believe its been almost a YEAR! Traffic stunk but I crossed over the 78 frwy and came home on I-15 vs I-5. That cut the commute in half.
We had lunch at El Torito's! MY FAV. and then coffee at Starbucks...then back to the train station and home. I have a bit of a headache... so am gonna take a couple Advil and lay down for a bit. My eyes feel a tad light sensitive and i do NOT want a migrane... so... we will nip it in the bud.
Congrats to KK on her car too!!
Love ya all!!
Tina, glad you had a great visit with diane...
I hope your headache goes away!
we are chilling, Madi wanted pizza so it just got here... MB & Gabrielle are on their way home from hunting.. no luck...
Mike did kill 2 deer, one Monday and one Tuesday.... he was excited.
he and KK go tomorrow for her hunter's safety and to get her license.. and they will hunt on Sunday...
That's awesome about KK's car and her hunting license....What kind of car did you guys end up getting her?...and TOO FUNNY about the "anonym-ass" comment; NO ONE MESSES WITH OUR TINA.....
Hope you feel better soon, Tina
"Anonymous", you're really askin for it now that you ticked off Nonnie
Hi all...we watched home movies tonight from when Paul and I just got together...Rayna was almost two...it was incredible...Tori was black we spent so much time at the beach and pool. Laughed till I cried!
OMG; I remember when Tori was that dark!!! AND RAYNA WAS SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE (AND TINY!!!); I LOVE IT, LEIGH ANN!!! Is it your anniversary or something? Is that what got you watching them?
Hi all :)
Congrats to the young ladies and their new cars :D Sooo very exciting!!!! I'm sure they are loving the whole experience of it all!!
Tina...what a great time that must have been to hook up with a friend after not seeing each other in so long~ Makes you appreciate those close to us :) I know I appreciate all of you!! Hope you're feeling better when you head out of town!!!! I thought better of going to the gym...don't have the extra energy to do it...although Steve and I did shop today...I never made the extra early morning rush with the neighbors LOL
Leighann...I'm sure those old movies were extra special to you and Paul :) Very cool to go back and watch them!!!!
Steph...sorry to hear about your sick little one...hoping she is better now!!!!
Marci...that is alot of deer meat...how long does 2 deer last in your large family??? Very cool about KK and her license to hunt :)
Kathi..I love the idea of you switching gears to concentrate on the no smoking...you know what is best for you :) Lots of love you have been receiving from your family about it too :D
Who is this no name person on the blog??? It's really creepy to me
:( I don't like it!!!!! Can you just go away...or show yourself...
I wouldn't necessarily call it love, Brenda; in fact, IF the rest of them were to find out, my sister said that I'm done with the family (I agreed with that); She made a very good point, that I was too dumb to realize....OUR AUNT JUST DIED FROM CANCER two weeks after Mom did; and we have another aunt that died from the disease almost six years ago; that got me thinking about the cousins that lost their moms, and what they would think if they knew I was smoking; they would be so incredibly hurt that I would CHOOSE to do this to myself, when their moms DIDN'T have a choice in the matter; I can't do that to the five of them (actually there's seven all together, but two of my Aunt Colleen's kids - she had three altogether - aren't any help; and my Aunt Diane had four); I love them too much
Headin out to Barstow in an hour or so to have our Thanksgiving. :o)
Hope you all have a great weekend. I wont have easy access to the computer, so I will check in when i get back!!
Love to all!
Have a great time, Tina
Ok, so I found out from sissy last night that we might go to the cemetery TODAY; which I think'll be good, not only cuz it'll be mine and my dad's first time, but now that Thanksgiving's over, I'm not as stressed or anxious about it (YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, STEPHANIE; thank you for looking out for me...and I apologize again for being such a bitch the other day); this'll really be my sister's only chance in taking us before Christmas, since she starts back to school next week, and goes to Chicago next weekend
have a wonderful time Tina!!!!! Talk when you get back!!
Kathi...glad to hear your hanging in there!! doin what you need to do :)
hello hello to everyone else :D I'm off to start my day...LOL wishing you all a GREAT weekend!~
I'm doin alright, Bren; I'm at Pooh Bear's right now; just gonna hang out until Dad decides whether or not he wants to go to the cemetery; that way, sister can pick us both up, possibly go to church, out to dinner and then they might bring me home
OK, so weird Mrs. Wrather... we also watched home movies until 11:30 last night... we watched Madison & Gabrielle's births.. (nothing ooky).... and of course the video of my pregnant stomach and Madison shifting it everywhere... it was funny to see KK & Sam's reactions...on the video.. they where 8 & 9 1/2...
Steph, hoping baby girl feels better..
Kathi, I also like the non smoking ticker...
Bren, the deer meat... we usually let Mike's BF do smoked sausage... and then we also do stew meat for veggie soup... roasts, and backstrap for grilling... the backstrap is like Filet Mignon.. so tender... so if he kills at least 2.. it will last all year...
I usually cook venison at least once a week... sometimes 2....
so it helps tremendously...
Kathi, KK's car is a Dodge Caliber.
(her friend told her it looks like my Durango had a baby! LOL
MB is putting my tree up right now... and I'm on the computer and drinking a beer.... :)
Tina, how far of a drive? and how was it to visit with everyone? I hope ya'll have a great time!
Kathi, how far does your sister live from you?
Pooh Bear, I just LOVE that!!!
Me and the 3 little ones went to Kentwood and had a nice visit..
we saw Paw Paw, Miss MaryAnn, Jeanine and her husband Allen.
A very nice visit...
Leigh Ann,
Jeanine had said something abouot Christmas on the 21st.... at Paw Paw's..... I told her that was definately better for us b/c Christmas is so hard to get away and drive..... I hope ya'll are able to make it...
Tell Rayna... she won't believe how much her baby does now and how much she has grown! :)
sitting up, crawling, shakes her head no no, waves bye bye, says Nanana (that's me... :) :) :0)
mama, of course da da....
I am bored....
can ya'll tell
Poor Marci, in the room all by herself; I'M HERE NOW; spent quality time with Pooh Bear today, so stayed away from the computer, as hard as it was... Marci, my sister lives probably five, six miles from me (but Pooh Bear is my dad; and I/we call him that cuz he has a round belly, just like Pooh)
I knew that was your dad.. I just like that.... it's perfect for a Paw Paw....
Now, I have to ask.... why can't your sister take you to the store once a week?... just curious... don't won't to cause waves....
Leigh Ann, I posted some great pics from today... and a funny video...
I am so glad I figured out how my camera can do that....
I will irratate yall now with videos!!!! LOL
Hey all!! I talked to Leighann and Steph tonight...they had all just got back from winetasting...it was so good to ralk to you Steph on the phone for the first time!!!!!! Can't wait to see everyone on New Years...Leighann drives back to Pcola in the morning...I sooo feel for you Leighann...it's a heartbreaker....I hope your routine downthere fills up your plate so you're too tired to miss the family too much before your eyes shut for a nights sleep...
OK...back to the garage...where I make things LOL

Oh, Brenda, you are always soooo sweet to comment for everyone...you are wonderful and make my day.... :)
Leigh Ann and Steph, so glad you talked to Brenda tonight.. .that was great... Nonnie is too tipsy to call anyone!!! LOL
hugs to all...
Leigh Ann, I hope you have a wonderful evening with your hubby and kids... and be safe on the the road...
Yeah, LA; please be safe out there on the road...
Marci, my sister can't take me to the store once a week because she's up to her eyeballs in her own "to do lists"; she just doesn't have the time (or the energy); and that's especially true this week, because she starts back to school, has to start report cards and has the Chicago trip next weekend; which is gonna make her miss a day of school
Marci, KK's car sounds great...I love those Dodge Calibers; is it new?
Has anyone else taken notice that once we started "jumping" on Anonymous, she quit talking? We're a force to reckon with, ladies!!!!
Good morning ladies....
KK passed her test, and she and Mike headed out to the woods at 4 a.m. (I hope she gets a deer!)
of course, they did not bring my camera or hers....
Kathi, the car we found is a program car.... it's got 30K miles on it.. (I still consider it new, but the dealerships don't) of course they are hurting to sell cars, so you can really get a great deal.... we weren't planning on getting something like this...
I'm going to go get a shower... and get dressed.... Nonnie needs to go shopping again! :)
What's a program car? Any car with 30K miles on it these days, I also consider new; and (referring to an earlier post of yours) it does kind of look like the Durango had a baby, doesn't it? That was so cute what you said
This is my THIRD DAY w/o a cig; I'm craving one SOOOOOOOOOOO bad, but I'm gonna fight it
