Wow, it's so quite in here.  I was actaully able to read the update and pages in between without seeing more pages appear in that time.

I imagine, once everyone's back at work tomorrow it will be different.

All the talk of laundry and decorating has me worn out (as I hear my hubby rotating laundry).  Wonder if my 4 yr old could handle putting up the tree? (hahaha)

Got all the kids shopping done (minus one pari of Shrek pajamas).  It filled up a 54 gal and a 28 qt storage containers in the basement.  Anymore and I would have had to start using the ice chests. Will have to use them to hide hubby's I think.

I'm impressed!  I haven't even started - got one thing this weekend that I purchased over the internet - truth to be told, I'm having a horrible time coming up with ideas.

 

Im with you... I only know what Im getting my brother... apart from that... no idea!

sounds like the one year old can be worse than the cats and dogs around decorations. Have fun Lyssa.

Ha - cats and decorations... for years, when I had one or more cats... the tree pretty much had only lights... and was sometimes anchored to the ceiling... flying leaps (by the cat) into the tree were just a bit more excitement than I, and the fragile ornaments, were willing to risk. 

LMAO!!!! Thats fabulous!

I think I may have to go searching for Simpsons decorations this year... anyone know if  they exist?

so, I wonder what happens when I hit 3,000 - do I lose all my stars again?

Yup at least thats what happened to me!

Wonder if they thought stars would be so popular when they created them. LOL

I guess its one way of motivating people to contribute so their numbers show up

zipp1 - 2007-11-25 1:10 PM Beth, that doesn't give me much hope for her getting better at putting stuff away she's the one with my gloves though and she isn't coming out till I have those gloves back (insists she returned them but they aren't in the closet where they belong)

LOLOL -

so, is it really bad that I still have my jammies on?

I'm going to go for a swim soon and didn't see much point in getting dressed - lol

NEVER EVER bad to wear jammies... I will have a shower and put my jammie pants on if Im not heading out... nothing more comfortable in the world!!

Oh... to add more excitement... those little silver-plastic icicles / tinsel that you painstakingly hang over the branches... no... cats eat that stuff... and what goes in, must come out... envision a cat racing from the kitty box... yup, trailing tinsel... and, um, a human must intervene.  To avoid further gastric distress, that was the last time I put tinsel on a tree!

zipp1 - 2007-11-25 2:02 PM 6 must be the number cause I did 6 loads on Friday. By the time the 12 yr old "cleans" her room today I'll have at least 3 more to do...Yeah, the stuff on the floor gets tossed in the laundry so she doesn't have to put it away.  Problem is I can't always tell what's clean/folded and SHOULD have been put away cause she just dumps the clean laundry on the floor mixed in with the stuff she's worn ( for all of 20 minutes) all over the floor.  should just make her wash her own clothes but she's so lazy that she'd just wear the same dirty stuff all the ime.  We just got her to start combing her hair through (LOTS OF HAIR ON THAT HEAD)

It's as if you've described my daughter and her laundry putting away, clothes wearing, hair combing attitude to a tee, but she's only nine... aye yie yie.

hey there again nibbs,
i fed them lunch, and hit a run, feeling better. geez, i really start to feel like a caged animal when i don't! i never thought that would be the case even 6 months ago!! i'm becoming something totally new for me!!

i suppose i should get the decorations out today, i'm at home after all, i'm still sorta nervous about what i can put up and where with a one year old. both my other kids are may babies, i've never had a one year old @ Christmas before. it's weird.

Oh nooooooooo!!!  I can only imagine. 

My old dog once ate an entire bag of holiday wrapped Hershey's kisses, you know, with the red, green and silver foil?  Now, when I say the entire bag I mean the plastic bag that contained all the kisses as well as every last kiss.  No evidence.  I couldn't understand what happened to that bag of kisses.  I left them on the counter and thought I was going crazy when I couldn't find it. 

Welllll... fortunately, he had a steel stomach (this dog seriously ate some crazy stuff over the years and never got sick) so didn't get violently ill from the chocolate... and the only way I knew what had happened was because his poop was very, ummmm, "festive"!!!!

Yup, I'm finally a triathlete! I had a great time today. I showed up early and asked the right question which led to a great experience. I just drove down from San Dimas and I'm tired so I'm taking a nap. I promise when I wake up I will give you the full report with pictures included. By the way i have met my challenge for the month and even exceeded it. Thanks everyone for the motivation.

the operation did help. They unhooked the tendon from the bone spur. It was relatively minor. someone else I know had a more invasive surgery on hers. She was off her feet for weeks, where as I was walking that weekend (with a soft shoe and slowly).

PF is sure some nasty stuff isn't it?!

I keep wondering if somehow the top of my foot thing is somehow indirectly related - probably not, it just really stinks that it flared up right when the PF was feeling like it was gone

do you have high arches? I know I have problems with the top of my foot because of my high arches. It is hard to find shoes that don't hurt me there. Seriously going now to the help desk. Bye

I have high arches, and have had trouble with PF in the past.  I modify the way that I lace my shoes, skipping the criss-cross over the top of my foot, and it greatly reduces the pressure... much more comfort on the top. 



I'll have to try that.

hey cat! where you been girl?

Ive been hiding... from the world... spent most of the weekend in bed or on the couch on painkillers and with a headache...

No big deal really... back to the dentist again on Friday.

Still having motivation issues... Ive had to cancel my physio appointment this week because I cant afford it, will cancel my sports massage too.. not a good time of year for major bills...

I think that dogs are related to goats. All the dogs I know eat all this stuff that should rightfully kill them or make them sick. My dog ate the wires between the house and the air conditioning unit outside. There we were middle of July and we turned on the air to find it wasn't getting cold. Call the repair guy. I'm sitting in the driveway with the dog (mixed breed) and the repair guy comes walking from the back of the house. He comments "That's an expensive dog you have there." I reply, "No he's just a mutt." Repairman "No, I mean that's one expensive dog. He's going to cost you $6oo. He ate the wires between the house and the airconditing units."

I was dumbfounded. Needless to say, that weekend we put a fence around the aircondioning units.

Yup, I'm finally a triathlete! I had a great time today. I showed up early and asked the right question which led to a great experience. I just drove down from San Dimas and I'm tired so I'm taking a nap. I promise when I wake up I will give you the full report with pictures included. By the way i have met my challenge for the month and even exceeded it. Thanks everyone for the motivation.


Congratulations Hector. Way to go!
