Thanksgiving 2010

Gobble, gobble - Happy Thanksgiving!

It was a quiet one with just me and Shawn. That's OK, though, it still worked. Had turkey and stuffing, a bean and corn casserole, Greek salad (in honor of my trip to Greece this year) and dinner rolls. And pecan pie! It was a nice meal, lots of leftovers for future meals and clean up was fairly easy. Now, on to Christmas!

I have Felicia's ornament to order online tomorrow (during their Black Friday sale) and then two items for Shawn - not quite ready to get those in case he gets them for himself, first! Two more weeks and I should be safe. Fingers crossed!!

And I have overtime this week. Got two hours in yesterday and am hoping for two hours tomorrow and maybe three on Saturday. But I also have Felicia coming over tomorrow (that shouldn't be too much of a problem) and Tom and his family coming over (and Susanna's girls) Saturday. That might pose more of a problem with getting OT in. We shall see - I really need to work it because I have Christmas gifts to pay for!

Nothin' Much

I don't have a bunch to report but thought I should check in anyway.

I've been straightening my hair lately - it's just a different kind of mess now! Still dry-flyaway; I think a water softening system would help that. It's on our list of things to get.

I'm taking the girls out tomorrow and it's going to be expensive. We're going to Toys-R-Us so Emily and Krissy can pick out birthday gifts (and I can get some ideas for Christmas gifts). Then we'll go to an indoor amusement area so they can enjoy rides and climb around the inside playground. And I need to visit the Christmas store (if it's still there!) for the Next Generationers' ornaments. And we'll probably eat some place. Maybe McDonalds as we haven't eaten there in awhile and the two girls are anxious to make a trip there! Yeah, it's going to be an expensive afternoon!

I STILL haven't booked the cruise - I don't know what I'm waiting for. I know Shawn isn't going to do it with me so I might as well make the call. Maybe tomorrow morning.

Well, that's it. Told you I didn't have much to report!

Gearing Up For The Holidays

Officially November and time to start really shopping for Christmas. I actually have all the Weissenbachs done (except Gayle) and Charlie - still need to finish George, get the Next Generationers ornaments and shop for Shawn and the girls. And get Dan's and John's packages in the mail. I think I can - I think I can! I might get the ornaments tomorrow. And I'm hoping against hope Shawn doesn't buy the I-Phone before I can get it for him for Christmas. I'm keeping mine low so as not to tempt him!

I HAVE to book our Disney cruise soon. The new ship is out and is attracting a lot of attention. I don't want it to be booked when I try to make reservations - I've been planning this trip for 4 years. I guess I will just have to do it without Shawn - every time I ask him, he says we'll get it done on his next day off, but when that comes around, he's nowhere to be seen. I HAVE to take this cruise! Maybe I'll add that to my list of things to do tomorrow.
