Alison: I'm sure the right pup will come into your life, but I understand that waiting is hard. :flowerforyou:
Cathy in Alberta: Congrats on the loss. WTG!
Heather: Your grandchildren are very cute "all jammied up." "
I'm working my way back from sleep deprivation caused by my own self-imposed mission to finish the baby blanket. It is finished and ready to be wrapped up for Christmas. I'm gaining ground on the fatigue and managed to ride Arrow without falling asleep--or off. I was disappointed in the situation, though. There was one additional rider that I didn't expect for a total of three. I didn't feel like I had enough space to ride comfortably above a slow jog. I'd gone with the idea of me in one end and a friend in the other. When I arrived there were two riders who were in the ends, and I had to carve space in the middle. There wasn't quite enough space for my "personal bubble" to be happy. On the other had, my balance is getting better and both of the women who were there are very nice. I enjoyed thier company.

Unfortunately I have hurt my foot. It started when I cleaned the ranch guest house and worked for 6 house straight. My veins are very bad and somehow pooled in the front of my foot at the ankle level. It is hard to walk so I have been limping along. Now it feels like my whole foot hurts. Did a 20minute foot soak with Dr Teals epsome salt and have a Salon Paus gel on my foot. Sure hope it works miracles as I have lots of things to do and places to go!,
Heather - your grands are adorable. You must be so proud.
Meg-so glad you are home safe and beginning to relax a bit. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Cathy- I hope we can all get together with Kelly when she comes in January. Did you say you do line dancing on the wii? I don’t think mine has that but since my foot went kaput I can’t even walk properly.
Becca- love the picture of your three Navy sons. Your youngest doesn’t look old enough to be in the service.
Katla-glad you finished your baby blanket. When I start a knitting project I will work on It constantly until it is finished.
Ate out at lunchtime after church and thought I did pretty good ordering a salad. You nfortunately, it was oc1 -
My only holiday decorating today. Done by DD.

Trying to correct my error but it keeps disappearing. The salad was over one thousand calories. Only ate half and had rest for dinner. When will I learn.

Terry - love your new cast.2 -

You might want to get that checked. I've had DVT and anything relating to blood pooling in the feet concerns me.

Christmas
Now that I've just about finished the decorating at home, the next step is pencilling in all the Christmas Carols services and concerts we might attend. We won't likely attend them all ... there are quite a few ... but we'll pick and choose 2 or 3.
And it will depend on how busy my husband is ... the cherries dictate our lives these days.

Allie - I know!!! that's why I got Levi -- Will you/could you get custody of one of the dogs? or even a week at a time visit? then Tom could pay the vet bills and you would have the love??
Myself as much as you love the dogs I would not want joint custody or visitation because that just ties you to Tom in the long run and makes you continue to see him on a regular basis. If I couldn’t get the dog/dogs I’d say a tearful goodbye. Just mebut you are divorcing him. Why give him any opening to control you or affect your life?
I don't know. It's not any different from those of us with kids and custody, visitation agreements. Not fun, but it has to be done.

Becca could you tell me what an advent angel is? I remember opening advent calendars when I was a child, but never heard of advent angel.
Terry, that has to be the best cast deco I can imagine! Kudos to your artist!2 -
You guys always amaze me. Love the stories of how you have decorated your house, have presents wrapped and under tree. Well my tree is in the spot my kids out it when last Christmas was over. Wish requests are still in my face book messenger, I guess I could try to spray the dust red or green. In other words, nothing is done! Oh I am wrong. I did buy a gift from the Verizon store when I bought my new phone. And I ordered a CD on Amazon but the CD won't be out until Dec 15th. Yep, that's it. With Mozart still a kitten, I'm not sure what he will do with a tree. We do have an articficial ficus tree and he has torn most of the leaves off of that.
When I was a young girl we had our tree in the old fashioned wooden play pen. My younger brothers couldn't climb in it and it worked out real fine. Not that there were many presents under the tree. We had one or two. Us kids all had our chores and got an allowance. One year after the boys were born my sisters were so proudly buying things like pacifiers, rattles,,etc. well I wanted to be different. So I ironed all the diapers Mom could use for several days! I'm sure the two young boys knew nothing about what I did for them. And I doubt Mom thought the freshly ironed diapers were any more absorbent. But that was my gift and I wanted to be different and do something 'from my heart'.
I took a shower today!!!!!! I know Chalrie and I have been married for 45 years and he has seen my fat. It I really didn't want him to see me naked going in the bath tub or helping me out. But I had to. Now for my hair, I just put a little bit of mouse in it and blow dried it. It has a little bit of poof in it but doesn't look like I want it to be. It it's clean. Tomorrow I am going to drive around the block so that I can see if I can drive to my Sunday School class party Tuesday. I would love to try to get to choir practice Wednesday but I still can't turn pages with my left hand.
Watching the Carol Burnett 50 Anniversary special. So fuunny and she was the one who made it ok for woman to host variety hour comedy specials
Love you all, Joyce, Indiana6 -
Did an hour on the recumbant bike today. Decided to forgo the yoga DVD and continue to listen to my audiobook. The plan for tomorrow is to do a little yoga, hold my plank, then take the extremepump class.
Terry - every year at our house someone always gets underwear for Christmas. I think this year it'll be Pete. I want him to feel like he's part of the family.
hmo - welcome. Come back often
Helping Vince wire things for Christmas. I might be getting a wee bit better at this. Maybe.
To anyone who has a Wii: I have a disk/program/whatever it's called called "Fit in Six" There are six different kinds of exercises. I can give you more information if anyone is interested. They range in different lengths of time. Let me know if anyone is interested.
Cathy - yea you were accepted into that trial! What a lovely family you have.
Made a sweet potato for later in the week, then made some more of the spinach/feta, now I'm making chocolate chip cookies.
Allie - how about fostering a dog? Then if there are any vet bills, the Humane Society (or whomever you are fostering thru) will pay for the bills. You have so much love to give.
Becca - love your advent angel. Really made me smile, memories of people who aren't here any more, too. What good memories! Thanks
Terry - your daughter is so very artistic. Your cast is beautiful
Just made snickerdoodles.

who was helping Vince decorate a tree tonight, too.

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening Friends,
Cathy, it sounds like a delightful Thanksgiving for you. How wonderful that your Mom is still with you and able to visit around.
(((((Felicia))))) Take it one day at a time and know you have our support.
Wendy, congrats on the loss and that the fasting is working for you.
Katla, I love the puppets and blanket. They are all sooooo cute!!!
Rye, such cute kitties that don’t look too sure of the situation. Lol
Allie, sending prayers for your BIL. My Dad had a ruptured colon and lots of infection by the time they figured it out and did his surgery. After that, he was in a coma in ICU for a few weeks. I was actually surprised at how well he did when he finally recovered. I hope the same for your BIL.
Heather, I’m glad your dinner for you guests went well, but I really had no doubts. I love the picture of your Grands. They always brighten my day and I love seeing them. Please share lots of pictures from Christmas. Love their pj’s.
Meg, what a thoughtful gift from the ladies in your support group! That just warms my heart. I wish we were all close together so we could do things like that for each other. Just know we would if we could. (((Hugs)))
Terry, the cast looks great. She is very good! The artist, that is. Lol
Joyce, my heart goes out to you having to struggle with that boot. Now if you figure out how to spray the dust red or green, please let me know. I think that is a terrific idea!!! (((Hugs)))
Congrats to all with victories. My thoughts are with all of you with struggles of any kind. I hope we can all keep our heads up at this time of year and do our best to enjoy each day. Today I put new lights on my ficus tree and added some red bows. I finally put my garland and bows on my mailbox so the outside had all that will be done to it. I took some pictures of the tree and a few of the many snowmen ornaments.
to all the Newbies. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
Sending love, good thoughts and sunshine to all of you.
I Love you

Just when I said I was about finished decorating, I decided to go out and buy the fixings for another wreath. I still need one more thing for it. But I think I now have all the rest of the stuff I wanted for decorating.
I just need to finish Christmas gift shopping.

Back in the days when I did holiday decorations, I had a table top tree decorated with Santa and penguin ornaments. Every morning I'd find another ornament submerged in the water in the tree stand. The cats had their own ways of enjoying the holiday.8

Michelle do you have a Spinach feta recipe? One of my favourite treats used to be a stuffed pretzel- yes, stuffed with a spinach feta mix. Ymmm. Haven’t had anything like it since Barnes & Nobel shoppes closed up around here.2
