My SIL's tree, with all the gifts
Pretty Festive TableNow we get to go thru all our receipts, and see what we actually spent, and then the joyful ordeal of paying all the bills. And I use joyful in the most sarcastic way!
I hope your gifts for Christmas were special one's, and your Christmas Holiday was magical.

Tink, Sorry you're having such pain. I hope you do nothing but, rest for the weekend!! ;o)

Good Morning!

CAROL: Yikes! Don't mention the dreaded "B" word yet! I like to pretend all these things came from Santa..at least for another couple days or so!
TINKA: I am so sorry you are hurting..I wish the doctors would help you..this is just unacceptable. I hate the thought of you being in pain. I'm sending you gentle {{{hugs}}} from AZ. Love you!

I will be back when I can keep both eyes open at the same time. Love to all. Tinka
Area 51: Tink, I hope your legs are feeling better today and you are in less pain.
Dianne: LOL at your having to pretend to be asleep. too funny.
Tina: Glad it wasn't your plane. I didn't hear about the bomb stuff until I came here so I still don't know much about it.
From Toronto Airport:
Zona: Thanks! They may be safe, but I just posted this terse message on FB:
Welcome to my nightmare! My flight was supposed to leave an hour ago. They're going to pat down passengers at the gate - a four minute procedure for each one - and security hasn't even arrived to get started. Facing hours of delay. Once again, thanks, El Quida (sp?)! Hugs and kisses! Love you so much!
My sister, niece and nephew have come down from Halifax today. I'm just waiting for a ride up to mum's.
Congrats on 1st again Birdee!
Happy Boxing Day!
Morning Glories!
Congrats on first again Miss Birdee!
Christmas is over! Yahoo! Carol no credit card bills for me! We pay cash. Budgeting is a pain but it really saves in the long run!
Zona I want pierogies!
Whabby better to have the pain of delays than have to go through the ordeal the other flight did. Better safe than sorry! My question is how in the hell did he get through security with bomb making materials????
Happy day after Christmas Owls.
Carol, Love the pictures of the tree and the beautiful table.
Birdee Ho, You flew in early again. Good to see that you are warm again.
Goldie, LOL @ restore order day. I have to wait until Monday for that because Todd and Vicki will be stopping here again on their way back to San Diego. It's OK though, cause I'm glad I get to see them again.
Zona, Happy shopping. I bet it's gonna be a zoo out there. I have to go buy a new shower head 'cause the one in the main bath broke. :( Not looking forward to fighting people returning gifts.
Bear, Hope you finally got home safely.
Lynn, I am glad Christmas is over too. All that shopping and build up and it is over in a flash.
Happy Boxing Day to all my Canadian pals. What is that anyway?
I'm off to Home Depot. Have a great Day everyone.
Good Evening Everyone!!!
Son, DIL, grandkids left just a little bit ago....Had a great time!! The girl's were all into the dog's and the dog's were loving it!
I'm pretty wiped out, so I think the rest of the night will be spent undercover's on the couch.
It's snowing here and I think that may call for some Bailey's Irish Cream!!! That should help me sleep. ;o)
ZonaBaby!!!! Does that mean you guessed right??? Sorry...I couldn't help but start to laugh!!!
Have a good night everyone! Rest up!!!
xoxoxox
Everyone must be really resting today and not even getting on the computer. I had a lunch with an out of town cousin and my aunt at noon today. Boy, I really wanted to call and cancel when the alarm went off but it was a beautiful day out so I am glad I had to get up and going.
MrD is at the movie with my SIL tonight and my daughter and GD's were going to see Alvin and Chipmunks so I opted to not join any of them. I left when my husband did to go and return gifts he bought for me. It was great because it was about 5:30 and the stores were empty. He bought me a snuggie and a soap dispenser that works like the ones in public bathrooms when you just wave your hand under it and the soap comes out. I really didn't want that big old thing in my bathroom or kitchen and I can spend that money from that and the big bottle of soap on something more fun at Bed Bath and Beyond. I am not usually very cold blooded to need a snuggie. He also got some really beautiful earrings but I didn't like the size so I exchanged them but I don't think he will even notice that and I won't tell him as he was trying really hard.
We are going with my brother and SIL to Cripple Creek over night tomorrow to gamble and have a little R&R. MARY....I won or got comped on a free room FINALLY!! We will watch part of the Bronco game tomorrow morning and then hit the road.
SACBARB; I looked up Boxing Day and it said it originated as the day after Christmas when you get rid of all the boxes in your house from the holiday, TINK AND SHIRLEY...Is that right? Is it a day off work holiday there when it falls during the week?
I hope everyone is getting rested, visiting family or playing with their Christmas gifts and having a good day/night.
Good evening feathered friends!
I hope you all had a great Christmas!!
Is everyone still partying or passed out?? LOL!!
I worked today and it was a ZOO! I thought it was going to be a dead day...boy was I wrong! My phone rang continuously from 8:30 until 5 oclock!
Tonight I got together with a friend that is in town from L.A with 3 of his kids. I went to his parents house and we chatted for a few hours. His dad has dementia and at first had no idea who I was. I have known them forever. It was so sad. About half an hour later, out of the blue he looked at me and said..."that's Maureen". I wanted to cry. Then, about a half an hour after that, he looked at me again and said..."that's Reenie"...which is the nickname they called me. It is so sad.
BIRDEE...wow...ya got first!! The early bird...catches the worm, then poops!
ZONA...you're shy?????????? Who are you trying to kid?? LOL!! ;)
GOLDIE...glad you had a day off before restore day! Are you in grandkid withdrawl yet?
WHABBY...I hope you finally made it home safe and sound.
DIANNE...what did you replace the soap dispenser with? Good luck at the casino.
CAROL...SIL's tree and table are beautiful. All the presents...so fun!!
Dianne: It sounds like hubby tried really hard. How sweet. I was super tired today too but didn't go back to sleep because I knew I would be up all night. I have to get my schedule back in order.
I hope everyone is having a good day and is getting caught up from all the visiting/visitors.

Hi Everyone..
I def chilled 2nite.. stayed off the computer most of the nite.. watched TV, read, and had some snacks..
So now I am off to bed, and wanted to stop in to say goodnite..
Dianne..
You are so funny, taking the gifts back.. Truth be told, I usually have to take back what the SSO gives me as well.. Actually when he gave them to me he said "And your not taking any of this back" LOL.. however he bought me a "reader" from Sony, and that is def going back.. when I read I need to have a book in hand..
Birdee..
Congrats on First.. you certainly look snuggly..
Tinka..
Hope you rested today and are feeling better..
Tina..

Sad to say.. but I have not been to the gym in two week.. Yikes.. after next week I am def getting back into the swing of things..
Lynn..
Cash is def the way to go.. I charge everything, then pay most bills in full, the bigger expense's I will pay in installments, however I don't use department store credit cards, I use major ones with low interest rates..
Tina..
Enjoy the Cali and the fam..
I crack myself up when I am tired and I type..
"Enjoy the Cali" LOL
Dianne..
I was chuckling when I read Mr D gave you a snuggie.. I totally understand, I don't usually get cold either, a
snuggie is def not for me either..
:O)
Whabby.. Hope you are home by now, but I am glad there were extra security @ the airports..
It is def better to be safe than sorry..
Ok.. off to bed..
Nite!
Tina: Pinkberry has a coconut flavor that is just DIVINE!! Also, my daughter got Pomegranate flavor and it was super too. I love Pinkberry..omg..yum, yum, yum!
Carol: I hope that when you get back to Jim that he misses you and wants to see ya work it.

gotta get off the computer....hope to be back tomorrow.....wonder what song it is.....lq~
Tina. LOL @ why you don't want to go into those places.
Carol You are a brave woman to go back to the stores today. I would have waited a few days until there were fewer people.
Bear. Air travel is def not as fun as it used to be.
Bebbi. My brother walks 10 miles a day. I don't know how many steps that is.
Tinka. I sure wish you didn't hurt. (((HUGS)))
Goldie. Are you taking your tree down, too?
LynnD. Cash is def the best way to go if possible.
Birdee. Snuggling under a throw with a glass of Bailey's sounds great!
Zona. I'm still exhausted from yesterday but not necessarily relaxed. Maybe I need some of Birdee's Bailey's.
Dianne. At least Mr.D had the right idea with the earrings.
MO. That must have been very sad for you. (((HUGS)))
Shirley. I hope you enjoyed your day with your family.
SacBarb. I hope you had a good day, too.
I hope I didn't miss anyone. I'm so tired I can't see straight. Wishing everyone sweet dreams and a great day tomorrow.
