Kathi...when I'm in the OC area...I'm calling you to get the resteraunt info LOL
Steph...Hey!! How goes it!!
My co workers are going to help me today LOL!!! some of my xmas cards are too small to fit our family photo in them so they are going to help me trim the pics to fit LOL...we have our priorities here are work LOL
Well, I've got the start of a frickin cold (have had a sore throat for a couple of days, just started the sneezes today), so I'm not feeling that great; and it's still in the 40s outside here at my dad's house;
with my cold, I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to go up to Tehachapi this weekend :(; but I'm gonna stock up on Day and Niquil, OJ and everything else you need with a cold
You're not alone, Bren; I haven't sent out any...not sure if I want to, or even if it's appropriate, with my mom's passing this year and all; I know...it SUCKS that I have a cold NOW of all times; my housekeeper and a friend are gonna come pick me up from Dad's (I refuse to take the bus in this weather) and I'm gonna go and get some cold medicine to help ward it off before it really gets going
OMG, I had some Nyquil left over from another cold, here at home....YAHOO!! Took a swig of that when I got home and now I'm gonna go and rest; probably gonna need more, though; Brenda? Are you available?
Hey Kathi...Glad you found some Nyquil!!! I'm working til 5pm then have a bible study holiday party...I'm going to the store after that..if you want I can pick some up and drop it off on the way home, which will be close to 9pm....call my cell and let me know, OK....I won't be back on the blog until tomorrow...so do call if you need to!!
OH... forgot to tell yall about yestereday morning with "The Bukers".... LOL MB's oldest sister looks down at the table, and says "You, have an I-phone????????????" I said... yes.... she says (picture her looking down like a librarian or something).... since when did you get that???? I said, 3 weeks ago... she says, AH, a "Noobie".... then she says, I've had mine for over a year now, I purchased it when it was first out..... I took a deep breath and said, "Oh, well that just means you paid WAY too much for yours!!! " SERVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she didn't know what to say.... yes, I don't know a whole lot abou my phone... but GEEZ bitch... back off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, Marci. Great snappy comeback. You should have told her, what an accomplishment. Do they give awards for I-phone proficiency? HA HA! What a nerd. :)
My supervisor e-mailed, and said the dress code for the office Christmas party this Thursday is, "jeans or whatever, just no nighties or bikinis". HA HA HA!
Damn, I guess I will have to rethink my 2 piece with blinking pasties!
And, Leigh Ann, definitely give me a ring when you get settled at home....we will have to sneak out for some chips and salsa (girls, that is code for 2-for-1 at Chili's!) :)
LOL...love the angels, the i phone comment and the pasties!! :)
Marci...what a nut your SIL is..and too sad she has to measure herself by $$$ and things
Steph...have fun at your holiday party!! I love holiday parties :) We had fun at ours last night for bible study and tomorrow our dept has one here at work (we did the company one lat week) we are ordering chicken pot pies for lunch...I know they are soooo bad for you but yummy!!
Kathi...let me know about today going to your dads..call my cell
Tina..I'm wearing one of your scarves LOL...It's cute and my neck is soooo warm!! I'll give them back to you this weekend!!
Leighann...hope your day is good :) Dana said she's headed back to Texas for Christmas..darnit!!!! Oh well...she will visit with grandparents here before she goes...I'll be riding her *#&$ to do it...
Steph, would be funny at the party! and I sure you would be the center of attentioN!!!! LOL I say wear the jeans....
Brenda, did you conviscate some scarves???? hee hee.......
Yes, SIL in all about what she has and letting people know it... UGH>.... I just dread it...
Kathi, no worries on your cards... don't stress out over that honey....
Leigh Ann, when do you get to head home for the holidays? did you finish your shopping..?
I am in "virtual" class today at my office, and 1/2 day tomorrow... no phone calls, hopefully no clients come in.... so I can listen to the class and play on the blog! yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I am sure I would draw lots of attention, Marci...but not the kind I want. :) Will definitely go with jeans and a dressy top, and 4 inch heels and hair put WAY up. I am going for 6 feet even, girl! :)
I like being tall...no one bothers me up there. ;)
it is cold here in the low 50's and the rain is suppose to be back later today :) I just emailed Tina to tell her her green/black scarf is drawing lots of compliments :) I'm gonna learn to crochet me some right after the holidays :D
YEA!! I'm happy Leighann Paul is going to see you!!
Steph...you are way tall!!! I'm sure you'll look gorgeous at the party!
Marci...you are a funny funny girl!!! I read about the virtual world and bananna LOL
Tina...you are an instigator!!! LOL I was thinking...I'm so glad only you all are on my forwards of emails..I do separate ones to others...just because I know you all so well LMAO
Kathi...call my cell to let me know if you are/or aren't going to RB
Thank you for the Christmas card, Tina; it was sooooo cute; the pic was great too; ok, off to bed with me (now watch, I'm gonna have bananas dancing in my head, instead of sugar plums)
I didn't even send cards this year... just a nice email to everyone wishing them a Merry Christmas (and yes, I did get a response from everyone here :D)...ya know, and I have to say, that my cousins Kathleen in Chicago and Erin in NC ALWAYS write back (they're sisters, and they lost their mom - my Aunt Diane - almost six years ago...so they know exactly what we're going through with this being the first holidays and all...not to mention, Kathleen and I are only two years apart)
Oh my...Tina...I did have my banana today...it was..kinda ok LOL but your comment was VERY FUNNY!!!! Tina....I will frame that card I got from you...a frame that will be painted white and hung every xmas on one of the little eisels with my other santas :) LOVE IT!
Kathi...I'm glad you have a network that can relate to the things only we try to understand :) I just know it's a hard time for you and I feel bad for you ...but you are getting through it..one day at a time :) get healthy and take your meds!!
I ordered my sweet goodies just now for Sunday.... and I will cook my shrimp and butter beans, and my stuffed chicken on Saturday....
I need another me.... :)
I will be leaving work 1/2 a day... Gabrielle's class had a book published... they each are on a page... and our local telephone company paid for it, and they are having a book signing at school!!!! I will take plenty of pictures... and try to figure out to do a slide show again... (sister in law, I may be calling you tonight!!!)
I was just contemplating picking up an espresso on the way home...it's going to be an all-nighter. All of my extra work for the holidays came in today...then travel for a meeting and Christmas party tomorrow, after my regular shift. I forgot what it's like to just sit...or sleep...but I am so thankful for all I get. :)
Can someone shoot me.....PLEASE? Not having a very good day at Dad's (yes, I'm still here); he refuses to take a shower; oh, he'll say he took one the minute I walk out the door, that's why I'm not leaving...so he can't lie; he is making it so frickin easy to put him into a home, it's not even funny..but you have to understand..none of us WANT HIM to go to a home; we're out of options and COMPLETELY STRESSED OUT at this point
Hey Kathi, what about saying, hey Dad, you can skip a shower tonight,..... I mean, where does he go that he can't skip every now and then... remember his disease regresses him.... and "pre-teens" like to skip showers.... especially boys.... :) just a thought... glad you had a good banana dream!
Hey Bren, Gabs class had to do artwork about themselves.... The name of the book is "I am a Masterpiece"
Gabs page is about her curly hair and how it makes her unique! it was really a cool experience, they had to make their picture from construction paper and make it 3-D image... and a real picture of themselves is inset into each page...
Hey Brenda, was that for your group at work or bible study the pot pie luncheon...?
Steph, good luck on your long days.. and get togethers.... you may need another you as well.... :)
Kathi, glad the OJ is working... drink up girl!
Mylee is almost pulling up on her play-yard and baby bed..... UGH... she will be walking before we know it....
****this is bad***** MB told me to go tomorrow and blow up a picture of the girls to an 11 x 14 and get framed for his mom... LOL he is turning into a BUTT... I guess I am rubbing off on him... OMG... don't know if I could do that... I would hate to think a picture of my beautiful girls is sitting in a closet!!! LOL
I say do it anyway, Marci....ATTA BOY, MIKE......and about my dad's shower... first, it's been a WEEK since he last showered (he REEKS)..second, if we start doing what you suggested, he'll use that to every advantage he can and before we know it, it'll be a month before he showers next; thank you for your suggestion, but I don't think it'll work (we've tried EVERYTHING..my brother, Jeff, even said that it's not that far off before we're gonna put him into a home, where they'll MAKE HIM take a shower); right now, I'm so damned irritated and stressed, I can't wait for that day to come
Kathi, you have to remember that your mom did that everyday, and NEVER complained... at least that's what we've heard.... it's a new experience for ya'll.... you have to find patience..... he doesn't mean it.... and once in a home... I hate to say this, he won't last long....
MB's mom put his grandma into a home... and they dropped her 3 times... (she only was 5'0".. and weighed 85 lbs.... she lasted 3 weeks there.... it was sad.... they don't have the caregivers for the people... I HATE homes... sorry.. a bad pet peave of mine... my grandmother was bed ridden for 30 years.... she died in her home at 95 years old....
didn't know it had been a week, the way you had talked in the last few posts, I thought ya'll were "making" him take a shower daily... just a suggestion.... sorry...
Night Marci; we don't physically make him take a shower...sorry if I mislead you guys; this week, he's proven that he can't take care of himself and we want to put him with people who can take care of him...but we're giving him every opportunity possible to prove that he can take care of himself, cuz we all know that he won't last long in a home (although my grandmother was in one for two years before she passed at 97); I know Mom did this w/o complaint, and God Bless her for it...but towards the end, she was starting to feel the pressure...
Hey all!!! I'm so sorry Kathi for your day :( I think it should make it more clear if the girls knew he was incontinent ...thats a biggie...oh my!! Hang in there and hope you're feeling well enough to travel for the weekend :)
Marci ...the book sounds so sweet...and the pics I love the idea :D
Steph...I bet your schedule wears on you...yep...the bennies are too great not to make you feel good :) Hope you have a great time at the party!!
Hey Leighann and Tina!!!!!!!
Today was our dept at work holiday party with the chicken pot pies,mashed potatoes,rolls, cole slaw, pie....I almost didn't make it through the rest of the day and I needed a rest before the gym LOL...I was soooo over carbed!!! BUT got my second wind after the gym and am now ready to call it a night :)
Happy Thursday Everyone! Tomorrow is Friday and I am going home!
Yep, Shani is going to take my duty for the weekend and I have decided to burn my leave and just go home. Dailen is sick...and I have ALL of my wrapping to do...and shit, it's Christmas. Now, I am behind the power curve here at work and as far as packing and finishing Mackenzie's poncho (CAN NOT go home without that)...so, busy busy, but I am smiling:P
Both, Marci...I am work-sleeping, or sleep-working, whichever you like.
I am back home and finishing up some stuff from this morning, after going to Corporate to register for my half-marathon, and then to the PAS for the Christmas party. It was fun! But I amb dog-tired.
steph, prop those feetsies up and rest!!!! poor you....
I just got home and was finally able to see Tori's car... it is so very cute and sporty.... KK said awe.... I want that!!!! I said, you need baby room!!!!! LOL
My sister called me a little while ago to inform me that my Aunt Joanne (Mom's oldest brother's wife) passed away of a (second) stroke... last night/this morning
I'm off to Dad's now; I'll check back in when I get there
I'm here at Dad's now; with a very heavy heart :(; Can ya'll say prayers for my Uncle Tom and his family? He has two daughters and three granddaughters... Uncle Tom and Aunt Joanne celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary back in May; I think Aunt Joanne was in her 80's, so she lived a good, long life....my poor uncle and cousins; and a week before Christmas, too... *sigh*
Yep, it hasn't been an easy last few months, that's for sure...thank you, Marci; I'm about to call my Aunt Carol (Mom's second oldest brother's wife) to give her the news... my Aunt Joanne actually passed on Tuesday but my cousin, Donna, just got around to letting my sister know.. emtionally, I'm doing pretty good, just got the heavy heart/praying for my uncle and cousins....not that this is a big deal, but all of us first cousins are all in the same boat now, with the loss of a parent (Debbie and Joyce were the last two)
Just got off the phone with Aunt Carol and got an update on my cousin, who has throat cancer (and has a tracheotomy(sp?)....just before Thanksgiving, he had gone home from the hopsital, but is back in due to them finding more cancer in his throat....I think we found out about him at the reception after Mom's service; I don't know what God's doing to the Casey Family, but I don't like it
I just heard someone on TV define claustrophobia as the dread fear of Santa Claus....HA HA HA!!
Not to poke fun at any claustrophobics out there...you have to admit, that's pretty dang funny! :)
I was so tired last night, that I failed to take off my makeup before I lay down...anyone who knows me, knows that that is really out of character for me...I looked at the mirror when I got up...OMG. So much for smudge proof mascara.
Weird...now all the updates are showing on this blog and my other one. Hell, I don't know what is going on. I think I am down some, but I can't open my ticker to check on my work computer...and my lap top is packed:)
Kathi..again...saying prayers for you and family...I'm just gonna have you as a constant at our bible study prayers :) I hope on your drive up ...that you do stop and play in the snow...you need FUN and WACKY times!!
Leighann...Drive on friend!! SO happy for you and the family
Marci...will add you to our prayer list too...so very sad time for your family too...
Steph...poor thing!!! LOL I don't like to take my face to bed either ...when I do that it's not from being tired but from too much to drink ...You sound like you're in over drive...can't wait to hear more details on this marathon :D please please
Oh Brenda, my grandmother passed away about 13 years ago and Mike's Mom-Mom about 6 years ago... thanks for the prayers, they are in a better place and both had FULL lives... My Maw Maw was 95, Mikes Mom'Mom was 82.... :)
steph, I HATE when that happens... I'm sure you could barely open your eyes....
good morning everyone...
Leigh Ann, have a save trip home....
Brenda, your trip is getting close to see our girl!!!!! and you get to meet Steph!!!!
Thanks Marci for clearing me up ..what long lives they lived...I would love to live that long...if I had the health to do it...

In bed with my two little ones and Tori and Rayna are upstairs - we had a good dinner. Paul is watching the Laker game after we had some quality time! LOL!!!
Hey all... shoving pizza in my face so i can run out the door to the game.

L.A., just wanted to say thanks for your hard work on this blog... I started clicking on the weekly entries..and you always have something nice to say to everyone.. A lot of times I forget to scroll down to view the tickers...
SOOOOOOO,
Thanks sis for taking the time.... :) we love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kiss my girls and tell them I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the inquiries, everyone! Yes, I got a lot accomplished and I feel great about that when I get the checks, but OMG, I HATE being that tired. You know, when you feel nauseous and shaky... I am still resting, and getting in some good Santa shopping...Grandma (monster-in-law) is working on a Wii for Jonathan, so I get to buy accessories...except NO ONE has anything left! Man, I hate that! Ansley's stuff is more my style...I have SO much fun at Toys-R-Us! :)
Leigh Ann, I am ready when you are! Come and drag my ass out when you are ready to go...
Brenda, about the marathon...thank you for asking...I got to go in on Thursday and meet other people at work who are planning to participate. I was surprised at the number. They are expecting over 30,000 participants this year...I am sure you will hear me talk more about it as it comes about...I am registered for the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston, SC in April (which is a 10K, and ought to be interesting), and then the Country Music Half in Nashville again this year, which is also in April...I am so excited. It is addictive. :) Training starts now...
I looked at a map of the course for the 10K, and that hill looks pretty daunting, but coming off of the bridge and then the remainder of the course is pretty much downhill... :)
Oh, I also meant to say, that my daughter has become quite the potty mouth...My son has a stuffed Pooh that he has had since he was a baby. Pooh lives on his bed, and yesterday, Ansley told on her brother, across the house, saying, "Mom, Jonathan won't give me his damned Pooh Bear!".
Then she yelled at me, saying, "Mom will you come out of the damned bathroom?"
Oh Steph, when they start repeating... bad.... but kind of funny you must say!!! :)
Congrats on your races.... can't wait until you run them and tell us all about it.... very exciting.
Good morning everyone...
KK killed her first deer this morning, a doe.... she and MB called at 6:30 she was screaming! I am sure the other hunters appreciate her screaming!! lol SO MY CHILD....

Damn, I guess I will have to rethink my 2 piece with blinking pasties!
Leigh Ann, I recognize those little angels from your picture at home. It's nice to know what they are thinking...LOL!
I am afraid I would be right there with you and Marci. Brenda and Tina would have to fly in and spring us! :)
And, Leigh Ann, definitely give me a ring when you get settled at home....we will have to sneak out for some chips and salsa (girls, that is code for 2-for-1 at Chili's!) :)
Love y'all!

got a little more shopping done tonight.... almost done thank goodness! I'm starting to get freaked out...
I think M.I.L. might need a banana!!!!!
Tina, I love your 6 things that make you happy.....
Thank you for the Christmas card, Tina; it was sooooo cute; the pic was great too; ok, off to bed with me (now watch, I'm gonna have bananas dancing in my head, instead of sugar plums)
well then,
Sweet dreams kathi!!! LOL
:)
LOL!! Bananas to boobs :) what a funny bunch!!
I just mailed my holiday cards!! (at the post office mail box at 8:30pm) got some other things done for our dept holiday party tomorrow ...
no freaking allowed Marci :)
I didn't even send cards this year... just a nice email to everyone wishing them a Merry Christmas (and yes, I did get a response from everyone here :D)...ya know, and I have to say, that my cousins Kathleen in Chicago and Erin in NC ALWAYS write back (they're sisters, and they lost their mom - my Aunt Diane - almost six years ago...so they know exactly what we're going through with this being the first holidays and all...not to mention, Kathleen and I are only two years apart)
Happy Wednesday everyone!! May the day be quick and your bananas be firm!!
Ok...it was funny but not funny enuff to post TWICE. Darn it! LOL
Oh my...Tina...I did have my banana today...it was..kinda ok LOL
but your comment was VERY FUNNY!!!!
Tina....I will frame that card I got from you...a frame that will be painted white and hung every xmas on one of the little eisels with my other santas :) LOVE IT!
Kathi...I'm glad you have a network that can relate to the things only we try to understand :) I just know it's a hard time for you and I feel bad for you ...but you are getting through it..one day at a time :)
get healthy and take your meds!!
Marci, Steph and Leighann :) Merry Merry!!!!!!!
Happy Wednesday Everyone!!! Have a great day!
Hey all.... good morning....
Kathi, any banana dreams?
I ordered my sweet goodies just now for Sunday.... and I will cook my shrimp and butter beans, and my stuffed chicken on Saturday....
I need another me.... :)
I will be leaving work 1/2 a day... Gabrielle's class had a book published... they each are on a page... and our local telephone company paid for it, and they are having a book signing at school!!!! I will take plenty of pictures... and try to figure out to do a slide show again... (sister in law, I may be calling you tonight!!!)
love to all!
ME
Actually, yes, Marci; had a VERY NICE banana dream (ooo la la)...YAY for Gabby's class; can't wait to see the pictures
I'm feeling a little better today..went to bed EARLY last night and drank almost all of my dad's oj
YAH - Everyone's tickers are done!
Hey Leighann :) thanks for doing the tickers!
Marci ...sounds really cool about that book....what's the book about?? (did I miss that) Can't wait to see the pics!! Your menu sounds yummy
We had our chicken pot pie luncheon...OMG I can barely keep my eyes open :( UGH...must down a diet coke...it's really bad!!!
Ah, protein coma...
I was just contemplating picking up an espresso on the way home...it's going to be an all-nighter. All of my extra work for the holidays came in today...then travel for a meeting and Christmas party tomorrow, after my regular shift. I forgot what it's like to just sit...or sleep...but I am so thankful for all I get. :)
Can someone shoot me.....PLEASE? Not having a very good day at Dad's (yes, I'm still here); he refuses to take a shower; oh, he'll say he took one the minute I walk out the door, that's why I'm not leaving...so he can't lie; he is making it so frickin easy to put him into a home, it's not even funny..but you have to understand..none of us WANT HIM to go to a home; we're out of options and COMPLETELY STRESSED OUT at this point
Hey Kathi, what about saying, hey Dad, you can skip a shower tonight,..... I mean, where does he go that he can't skip every now and then... remember his disease regresses him.... and "pre-teens" like to skip showers.... especially boys.... :) just a thought... glad you had a good banana dream!
Hey Bren,
Gabs class had to do artwork about themselves.... The name of the book is "I am a Masterpiece"
Gabs page is about her curly hair and how it makes her unique!
it was really a cool experience, they had to make their picture from construction paper and make it 3-D image... and a real picture of themselves is inset into each page...
I tried to take a few pictures of the actual boook... I will see if they will post....
Hey Brenda, was that for your group at work or bible study the pot pie luncheon...?
Steph, good luck on your long days.. and get togethers.... you may need another you as well....
:)
Kathi, glad the OJ is working...
drink up girl!
Mylee is almost pulling up on her play-yard and baby bed..... UGH...
she will be walking before we know it....
****this is bad*****
MB told me to go tomorrow and blow up a picture of the girls to an
11 x 14 and get framed for his mom...
LOL he is turning into a BUTT...
I guess I am rubbing off on him...
OMG... don't know if I could do that... I would hate to think a picture of my beautiful girls is sitting in a closet!!! LOL
where are my banana girls????????
bow chicka bow wow...
huh Tina???????
I say do it anyway, Marci....ATTA BOY, MIKE......and about my dad's shower... first, it's been a WEEK since he last showered (he REEKS)..second, if we start doing what you suggested, he'll use that to every advantage he can and before we know it, it'll be a month before he showers next; thank you for your suggestion, but I don't think it'll work (we've tried EVERYTHING..my brother, Jeff, even said that it's not that far off before we're gonna put him into a home, where they'll MAKE HIM take a shower); right now, I'm so damned irritated and stressed, I can't wait for that day to come
Kathi, you have to remember that your mom did that everyday, and NEVER complained... at least that's what we've heard.... it's a new experience for ya'll....
you have to find patience..... he doesn't mean it....
and once in a home... I hate to say this, he won't last long....
MB's mom put his grandma into a home... and they dropped her 3 times... (she only was 5'0".. and weighed 85 lbs.... she lasted 3 weeks there.... it was sad....
they don't have the caregivers for the people...
I HATE homes... sorry..
a bad pet peave of mine...
my grandmother was bed ridden for 30 years.... she died in her home at 95 years old....
didn't know it had been a week, the way you had talked in the last few posts, I thought ya'll were "making" him take a shower daily... just a suggestion....
sorry...
good night girls...
gonna go and wrap some presents....
and drink a beer late..... :)
MB comes home tomorrow.... :)
and leaves back Friday with KK to hunt until Saturday evening...
Night Marci; we don't physically make him take a shower...sorry if I mislead you guys; this week, he's proven that he can't take care of himself and we want to put him with people who can take care of him...but we're giving him every opportunity possible to prove that he can take care of himself, cuz we all know that he won't last long in a home (although my grandmother was in one for two years before she passed at 97); I know Mom did this w/o complaint, and God Bless her for it...but towards the end, she was starting to feel the pressure...
Hey all!!! I'm so sorry Kathi for your day :( I think it should make it more clear if the girls knew he was incontinent ...thats a biggie...oh my!! Hang in there and hope you're feeling well enough to travel for the weekend :)
Marci ...the book sounds so sweet...and the pics I love the idea :D
Steph...I bet your schedule wears on you...yep...the bennies are too great not to make you feel good :) Hope you have a great time at the party!!
Hey Leighann and Tina!!!!!!!
Today was our dept at work holiday party with the chicken pot pies,mashed potatoes,rolls, cole slaw, pie....I almost didn't make it through the rest of the day and I needed a rest before the gym LOL...I was soooo over carbed!!!
BUT got my second wind after the gym and am now ready to call it a night :)
Happy Thursday Everyone! Tomorrow is Friday and I am going home!
Yep, Shani is going to take my duty for the weekend and I have decided to burn my leave and just go home. Dailen is sick...and I have ALL of my wrapping to do...and shit, it's Christmas. Now, I am behind the power curve here at work and as far as packing and finishing Mackenzie's poncho (CAN NOT go home without that)...so, busy busy, but I am smiling:P
I love pot pies...
Ugh, about the shower...
Mylee will be mobile, soon. Yikes!
Oh my, Leigh Ann! Yay for you! How exciting!
Hey Leighann!!! What a generous person Shani is to take your duty Leighann :D I'm SO happy for you...And it is Christmas!!!
Good morning all :)
OK...I did my "tagged by Tina" post! Whew! What fun!
I saw it :) LOVE IT!! I need to get to mine...I wasn't sure how it worked..
Happy Thursday everyone!! Slammed around here!! Love to all!
Hey all I have been swamped as well.....
Leigh Ann, it won't let me view the slideshow... I will have to see it when I get home... damn....
Your whole blog is solid back... and I can't read it.... maybe my work monitor is going out... who knows....
Kathi, didn't know about your dad's incontinence... that makes a HUGE difference....
Brenda, your office party sounds nice... :)
Tina, hopefully things will slow up a little bit.....
Steph, you working or sleeping????
it's probably nap time.... :)
Both, Marci...I am work-sleeping, or sleep-working, whichever you like.
I am back home and finishing up some stuff from this morning, after going to Corporate to register for my half-marathon, and then to the PAS for the Christmas party. It was fun! But I amb dog-tired.
I AM dog-tired, too! HA HA.
Yeah, having my dad incontinent does make things worse (I don't know why I forgot to mention that..just goes to show what our days are like now);
thinking of you Kathi...
steph, prop those feetsies up and rest!!!! poor you....
I just got home and was finally able to see Tori's car... it is so very cute and sporty....
KK said awe.... I want that!!!!
I said, you need baby room!!!!! LOL
I REALLY NEED your prayers now...
My sister called me a little while ago to inform me that my Aunt Joanne (Mom's oldest brother's wife) passed away of a (second) stroke... last night/this morning
I'm off to Dad's now; I'll check back in when I get there
I'm here at Dad's now; with a very heavy heart :(; Can ya'll say prayers for my Uncle Tom and his family? He has two daughters and three granddaughters... Uncle Tom and Aunt Joanne celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary back in May; I think Aunt Joanne was in her 80's, so she lived a good, long life....my poor uncle and cousins; and a week before Christmas, too... *sigh*
Oh Kathi, I feel so much for you and your family... ya'll have really had a hard year....
prayers your way... :)
love ya
Yep, it hasn't been an easy last few months, that's for sure...thank you, Marci; I'm about to call my Aunt Carol (Mom's second oldest brother's wife) to give her the news... my Aunt Joanne actually passed on Tuesday but my cousin, Donna, just got around to letting my sister know.. emtionally, I'm doing pretty good, just got the heavy heart/praying for my uncle and cousins....not that this is a big deal, but all of us first cousins are all in the same boat now, with the loss of a parent (Debbie and Joyce were the last two)
Just got off the phone with Aunt Carol and got an update on my cousin, who has throat cancer (and has a tracheotomy(sp?)....just before Thanksgiving, he had gone home from the hopsital, but is back in due to them finding more cancer in his throat....I think we found out about him at the reception after Mom's service; I don't know what God's doing to the Casey Family, but I don't like it
*correction* my aunt joanne passed today; she had the stroke on tuesday
Good morning, everyone!
I just heard someone on TV define claustrophobia as the dread fear of Santa Claus....HA HA HA!!
Not to poke fun at any claustrophobics out there...you have to admit, that's
pretty dang funny! :)
I was so tired last night, that I failed to take off my makeup before I lay down...anyone who knows me, knows that that is really out of character for me...I looked at the mirror when I got up...OMG. So much for smudge proof mascara.
HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!!!
Brenda, I see mine and your updates didn't post for some reason, I will re-do this weekend.
Turning over the duty at 0830 and then I AM OUTTA OF HERE!
Marci,
I don't know what is up with my blog...
Steph - you must have been tired to sleep in your make-up!
Kathi, saying prayers for you and your family.
Weird...now all the updates are showing on this blog and my other one. Hell, I don't know what is going on. I think I am down some, but I can't open my ticker to check on my work computer...and my lap top is packed:)
Thank you, LA; by now, you turned over your duty, and hopefully on the road home...safe travels; check in later and let us know you arrived safely

Leighann...Drive on friend!! SO happy for you and the family
Marci...will add you to our prayer list too...so very sad time for your family too...
Steph...poor thing!!! LOL I don't like to take my face to bed either ...when I do that it's not from being tired but from too much to drink ...You sound like you're in over drive...can't wait to hear more details on this marathon :D please please
Tina...enjoy the day off!!! How's Bailey?????????
Oh Brenda, my grandmother passed away about 13 years ago and Mike's Mom-Mom about 6 years ago... thanks for the prayers, they are in a better place and both had FULL lives...
My Maw Maw was 95, Mikes Mom'Mom was 82.... :)

LA, hoping your evening with your peeps is wonderful!
Hi everyone!
Yes, I rolled in at about 4 - which was exactly 7 hours from when I walked out of my office. Not bad...
I think Paul has fixed my laptop...he was asking me all these questions and I was like...uh, I don''t know...LOL - it's nice to be on-line!
Steph, rest up - we have a date!
Kathi, did you play in the snow?
Tina, what was up with Bailey?
Brenda, too funny about the presents and shopping. Just know that we (especially Paul) are missing your baskets of goodies!
Marci,
Wish I could be there on Sunday...but, no, I am not even going to try. And, that sucks! Cause I would love to see everyone. Please give Jeanine a hug from me and tell her how much I appreciate the invitation and her love and acceptance.
In bed with my two little ones and Tori and Rayna are upstairs - we had a good dinner. Paul is watching the Laker game after we had some quality time! LOL!!!
well good deal....
I will give Nene a hug for you...
and we have already said... we will take plenty of pictures to send to you and Paul and girls...
Hey all... shoving pizza in my face so i can run out the door to the game.
Zach has to work... so he wont be there tonight. *sigh*
LA - I am sooo glad you made it safe and sound. Bailey helped himself to a box of CHOCLATES that silly Tia wrapped for a friend and put under the tree... hes doing fine though...
Well all... im off to freeze my ass off BEFORE i start to sweat on the field ...and then again AFTER im done sweating on the field... LOL
Brenda - you will be missssssed!! See you tomoorwo!

does Tori like her car? it's so cute... is it a Saturn? they are so very safe.....
Is it still that cold in California???? It was 80 degrees here in Louisiana... crazy... 6 inches of snow last week.... and 80 degrees this week....
oh, and your sick, go figure?
L.A., just wanted to say thanks for your hard work on this blog...
I started clicking on the weekly entries..and you always have something nice to say to everyone..
A lot of times I forget to scroll down to view the tickers...
SOOOOOOO,
Thanks sis for taking the time....
:)
we love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kiss my girls and tell them I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN'T wait to see you all again....
Thanks for the inquiries, everyone! Yes, I got a lot accomplished and I feel great about that when I get the checks, but OMG, I HATE being that tired. You know, when you feel nauseous and shaky... I am still resting, and getting in some good Santa shopping...Grandma (monster-in-law) is working on a Wii for Jonathan, so I get to buy accessories...except NO ONE has anything left! Man, I hate that! Ansley's stuff is more my style...I have SO much fun at Toys-R-Us! :)
Leigh Ann, I am ready when you are! Come and drag my ass out when you are ready to go...
Brenda, about the marathon...thank you for asking...I got to go in on Thursday and meet other people at work who are planning to participate. I was surprised at the number. They are expecting over 30,000 participants this year...I am sure you will hear me talk more about it as it comes about...I am registered for the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston, SC in April (which is a 10K, and ought to be interesting), and then the Country Music Half in Nashville again this year, which is also in April...I am so excited. It is addictive. :) Training starts now...
I looked at a map of the course for the 10K, and that hill looks pretty daunting, but coming off of the bridge and then the remainder of the course is pretty much downhill... :)
Oh, I also meant to say, that my daughter has become quite the potty mouth...My son has a stuffed Pooh that he has had since he was a baby. Pooh lives on his bed, and yesterday, Ansley told on her brother, across the house, saying, "Mom, Jonathan won't give me his damned Pooh Bear!".
Then she yelled at me, saying, "Mom will you come out of the damned bathroom?"
I blame her father... :)
Oh Steph, when they start repeating... bad.... but kind of funny you must say!!! :)
Congrats on your races.... can't wait until you run them and tell us all about it.... very exciting.
Good morning everyone...
KK killed her first deer this morning, a doe.... she and MB called at 6:30 she was screaming!
I am sure the other hunters appreciate her screaming!! lol
SO MY CHILD....
