Busy, but sounds fun!  Enjoy!

In other news...

About 2 weeks ago I got in the shower in the morning and the water was less than luke warm. I showered, then told my husband later about the lack of hot water. He said when he showered he had plenty of hot water. Over the past 2 weeks the unintentional cold showers have been becoming more and more frequent. He picked up a new heating element, and through the power of the internet was easily able to figure out which one was bad. The problem is he can't get the old element out of the water heater. He spent hours on it last night. He is taking off work early today to try and fix it this afternoon before Keri's concert. I washed up with cold water in the sink this morning, then washed my hair with COLD water. Normally I would have tossed Keri in the shower after basketball practice, but instead packed up her clothes and the shampoo we have she likes and she showered at Grandma's this morning. I'll probably have to take the boy down to grandma's and let him shower there after practice. I'm going to have to shower somewhere, I'm thinking I may go into the college this afternoon and do a short workout, then shower. I hope he can get it fixed, if not he's getting a hot water heater for Christmas.

I need to do laundry, too, but I can wash clothes in cold water.

BRRRR ..... hope he gets it fixed!!!

Good day Ghoulies.

Ann - the concert sounds awesome.  The hot water heater, or rather lack of hot water, not so awesome.  I hope he gets it fixed soon.

Dee - you were so busy responding to others, but never said anything about you.  Hope that all is good and the puppies are good.

Woot!

Hey Ghoulies.

I am here. Just got the crud pretty bad and a lot to do. We spent Sunday on battle stations cleaning the entire house within an inch of its life for the "Christmas Walk" that I agreed to. It sounded okay in July. Yesterday it happened, 200+ people wandering throughout our house, up and downstairs. eeeegad!!!!

Saturday was fun, some chores in the am, then we went to a charity oyster roast. Then home in bed by 8:00. Not fun being sick this time of year.

today I had to go to a place tha makes bath tubs. fun and games. Tomorrow a 2 day staff meeting in winston-salem. I feel like yuck and that is going to NOT help one bit.

I haven't run since last week and I feel awful about that. Hopefully I'll be up to it tomorrow at the motel!

WeeeeeHooooo!!!!

Sorry you are feeling so bad.  Glad to hear that the Christmas Walk is over.  Just think how clean the house is.  

I have scheduled carpet cleaning for Monday.  My house is a wreck because we are moving as much furniture and area rugs to the garage for the cleaning.  Once that is over, we put the house back together and then I figure out how much decorating I want to do.  LOL.  Might just be a little bit this year.  Although the grandkids will be here on the 28th, so I need to get something up for them.  

Feel better, and I hope the two day meeting is not too bad.  

Good morning Ghoulies!

The Christmas concert last night was WONDERFUL! The kiddos really put a lot of energy into it. Keri was very pumped when she got home.

After messing with it for 6 hours the hot water heater is finally broke enough that we are getting a new one. The husband is going to go get one when he gets off of work and install it tonight. Hopefully tomorrow morning I can shower in my own house.

I officially declare an end to the undesirable stuff and decree that from now until the end of time there will be nothing but good in the Ceilidh household!

Santa was going to put a BioLite stove under the Christmas tree for me. Yesterday I looked on the website and if you wanted by Christmas you had to order by Dec 14. I was going to place my order this morning and due to the high volume of orders, orders placed now won't ship until Mid January. I guess I could have ordered it for my birthday.

I ended up ordering a backpack, that I found for 33% off, and a spray skirt for my kayak that I had a 15% off coupon for. Time to finish my shopping for everyone else.

That is great that the concert was that good! Yea for a new hot water heater! Warm showers should NEVER be taken for granted.

I vote for putting it all up and keeping it up longer. But then, I am a sucker for Christmas decorations!

Hi Amy. It seems a lot of your weeks are tough at the Givemashot household. That needs to stop!

Deal!

Off to the big city.

Get your shopping done, Ann. (I think you should buy the stove anyway). Now that the pressure of the Christmas walk is over, I can settle down to writing cards, making baskets for freinds and getting the rest of the shopping done and wrapped. I like all of those tasks! .

I'll order it later. I need to finish shopping for the kiddos and husband. Plus I haven't even started shopping for my brother or his family. I have a nice and nephew to shop for, too. Once I have all those presents bought I'll see what I have left to spend on me.

ANN!!

I would shout, but I am a bit hoarse.

Sounds like a plan.

AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I've ordered some kayak supplies from Austin Canoe & Kayak. I ordered my sprayskirt from them this morning. After I ordered it I realized I ordered the wrong one to fit my kayak. I called them and cancelled my order. The gentleman on the phone offered to help me with my new order, but I don't have my wallet on me today so I needed to order online so I could use my paypal account. I got online and went to order the correct skirt. My 15% off coupon code was no longer valid, since it had been used. While I was debating to just buy it without the code I got the little pop-up with a customer service person asking if I needed help. I explained the situation, she looked up my cancelled order and provided me a new code. I thought I copied it from the chat. I did not.

In the meantime I received an email about the cancelled order, it was from the person I was just chatting with. I replied and told her I hadn't copied the code when I thought I did. She replied back almost immediately with a new code. FANTASTIC!

I now have the correct sprayskirt on it's way, and I saved $14.85 in the process. WOOT!
