    I am 42 years old and for the first time EVER I have cleaned up vomit that was not from a family member.

    I am an insurance agent... one of the reasons I chose this profession :s

    Yes that is never fun

    Still debating on going to my CG workout this evening. We do it outside and the temps are going to be low 40s to the upper 30s. I am thinking I would much rather stay home and warm. At least there is no rain.

    Just go do it!

    "I really regret doing that workout."
    ~No one, ever

    I went. Several layers on me, but I went.

    Way to kick butt @crosbylee!

    We had our first snowfall/ice storm here on Thursday & I still can't get over the people that come out shopping for the most inane items when it's extremely bad. At least a few people needed a break from driving around 1-2 hours getting back from a job that was only 30-45 minutes away.

    I had a family that moved from the south & had to buy all the essentials which is understandable, because I know some of the southern states get snow, but not as much as the northern part.

    There are two people in my neighborhood with snow shovels, myself and my neighbor from Missouri.

    I boycott Dark Thursday and Black Friday.

    I refuse to take part in that madness!!!

    I hate that it has travelled to England. We were perfectly happy with our Christmas Sale madness and now this as well. The worst part is that we have gone over the top about it. I just heard an advert on the radio say 'Black November' so now its the whole friggin MONTH?! WTF.

    I saw that too. And we don't even have Thanksgiving so there's no context to it at all!

    New thing I saw today, a Christmas Eve box. So now kids get presents Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Do they think parents can just pull money out of their *kitten*?

    I used to have Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas with Denni's but why would you use a Christmas Eve box???

    Confession:

    My plans for this evening once the kiddos are in bed involve eating my baby's leftover chocolate birthday cake and knitting a bobble hat all while watching a bit of Strictly Come Dancing (dancing with the stars).

    I am truly living a rock and roll existence.

    Sounds like a good night to me!

    I've noticed Christmas Eve boxes in the UK this year too. It's basically a wooden box with the kid's name on and a few bits to enjoy on Christmas Eve like a dvd, festive PJs, hot chocolate etc. I feel it's just another way to get parents to spend money. You can have a nice Christmas Eve tradition without spending more. We tend to be visiting family or have family visiting Christmas Eve anyway.

    Those parents are working too hard at being friends with their kids. There's a thing called delayed gratification that is awfully good for them.

    Right?!? My kid begs, every year, to open one gift on Christmas Eve. NO! No, no, no! Christmas is on CHRISTMAS!

    I'm crabby too. We should meet in Wichita and hide out with Mo at Pizza Ranch.... No wait, Mike is home this week. Better leave them alone. What else is sort of in the middle?

    Being from a split home growing up, we always opened gifts from my Dad's family on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas Day. I still open one gift on Christmas Eve in honor of my Dad.
