    Michele Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I've seen them once. I sat through the whole concert only because it was a gift to my step-daughter & her husband. Phenomenal special effects...but way too intense for me. And waaaaaay too loud. I was really glad when it was over. It was an assault on my senses, LOL! I'm a delicate flower.

    We went to a concert in Phoenix on our way through during the 6-week US leg of our RTW travels in 2012.

    We enjoyed it, but did think they could have toned it down just a bit and focused a little more on the music. I have one CD but would like to get them all!

    Still at my daughters until dec 17. Then back to work for 2 weeks and back here jan 7-31. Not getting much exercise chasing around a toddler but keeping my eating on track. I weigh at work so hope to see a loss when I am there next. Helping out with 2 newborns and a toddler keeps my hands full so they are not reaching for food.
    Keep on pushing forward my friends

    Happy Sunday. I’ve got my yogurt in the instant pot and lentil soup is on to simmer. Next hitting the gym and then a little grocery shopping

    Karen sorry about that approaching snow/ice storm. Sounds like a whopper so stay safe. Brrrr, just thinking about it.

    Thank you for the compliments on the ornaments. Had an ok sale day yesterday and will be heading to another show today.

    Tonight my eldest daughter and I are going alone to see the CP holiday train. It is in town too late for the Grands and we found out the neighbouring town doesn’t have the full performance. She is named in honour of my Dad so it will be a special evening for both of us tonight. Tomorrow night we are going in the City again to see the train but my youngest daughter and Grands will join us!

    Off to paint an ornament and make some breakfast! We have a set of 3 that includes Mary and baby Jesus, the wisemen and the Manger. Last week someone bought the Manger and we hadn’t replaced it. Of course, yesterday a lady wanted all 3! She said she would show up today to get it. We’ll see if she does.

    Have a great day ladies!

    Tracey - I Googled the CPR Holiday Train. Looks great! I love trains! And I love festive lights! :D

    Today's lunch with my stepdaughter went very well. Food turned out great. Plus we got a sunny walk in by the sea.

    Came back to a delivery of a chrome shoe rack for my wardrobe. We've put it together (ooouuufff :o ) so I'm about to see how it fits in the wardrobe and how many pairs of shoes I can get on there. It's expa a a a ndable.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Karen in Virginia, Michele, Peach, and any others in path of the big East Coast storm: Take care!!!!

    Machka: Your beach Christmas reminds me of living in Hawaii. Trying to remember why I moved away... B)

    Lisa: Give my best to the CEO of your new council. Soooooo happy for you and them!

    Tracey: Good luck with the sale today. Your ornaments are beautiful.

    I'm feeling a bit low in energy today. Must drag myself to the gym, but will get there because I know the alternative will just make me feel worse. Stay well, friends. We can do this.

    One thing in the house is the macrame tree but not hung up yet. I hope the lights are in the garbage bag where the tree is put. Now to get Louis to put the tree up then hang up the bows on them since the boys got upset when I hung bells on their racks, so to make them happy the bows will come out again, and my 3 manger scenes. I haven't had a tree in a couple of weeks, I might wrap up some boxes to put around the bottom of the tree that I will put in front of the box addressed to me and Louis. I was so far behind the posts I just skipped ahead.

    Had an MRI on Thursday which my oldest took me too; Louis was dizzy again, looked a little gray as he talked about throwing up. When we got home, he was worse and Trey called his Dad's (and his) MD giving the nurse a summary of his symptoms; then she put him on the phone and asked him several things, like how long has he had the problems, and told to do a few things. He then told Trey some tests on his Dad, hung up the phone and called 9-1-1; Trey told me what was going on and said he could be 1/2 way to Americus before the ambulance could get there; so he took him in the car. I was upset because he would not me go, still a little hung over from the pill(s) they had given me to make the noise of the MRI would bother me saying he could not take us both because he could not help both of us. I called him every 30 minutes and he told me they had already come out to get him brecause of going though 'Triage' and they considered his condition was dire, so they took him right back into the ER section so they could assess him. That was the 1st time I talked to Trey and every 30 minutes after they took him back; by the 2nd call they had taken several tubes out of him, getting him ready for 1 of 2 CT Scans, EKGs and whatever they needed to rule out a stroke, they found that he had a UTI and had to have an antibotic and was then sent home. I often worried if Dr. Jones was expecting a call to come to the hospital in Albany; but I was so upset that he had not waited for the ambulance because if he was having a stroke he had nothing in the car to help him save his life and they would. I then told him, that is how I felt like all 4 times I had a black out and found myself on the floor. He said he had never felt that miserable. But, the next day he went to work. MEN! So many don't take care of themselves. I am pretty sure that they told him to 'follow up' with his own MD; I will need to have the appointment because he won't make one. They also told him he needed to get his eyes checked. I've been asking him to go get them checked as they look gray to me. They also told him to get his ears checked - now that will be a hard drive. I've been a little stressed out at the PA (at my NeuroMD for not returning my call) about the black outs that i have been having for the past 6-weeks or two months. When I went to his office I would see him once, and the PA for the next. I don't particulate that; especially he had just weaned me off the Dilantin. She told me she would talk to him - ok, when? I will give her until Wednesday of next week (or maybe I should call her on Monday to find ouy if this is week to be talk to her and let her go speak to him.

    I have had a mild headache; but, not bad enough to take medication got it. As I thought Jenn has stopped her
    mood stablizer which abouy normal for her. She doesn't want to be like me; but, try as she may ot try as she does, the MD needs to be the one who takes her off them.

    After taken my Conlanzapam I woruld have to talk to my NeuroMD about what is going on. My PscheMD has left the practice he was in to work at the hospital every other weekend and as soon as they find an office for him, will then start seeing out patients. He was the MD of record. When I get low on any of it, I will call my own MDs here in Albany to call it in. Since I had my last one, my typing with my hands on the 'home keys have suxed when trying to type I used to do - without having to look at the keys. Much harder than on my desktop with the cupped keys. But I would rather be here with Louis and not stuck in tru to put in my office. There are so many things that I would rather hang on my wall in there and have it appear less cluttered. I want to hang my Daddy's law certificates along with his picture on the wall over my desk. Then I have 5 or 6 sayings that I would like to get frames for them and hang them up on the side wall, with my ribbons from entering art shows; then figure out where to hang some of the other stuff. In the shuffle I am unable to find one of the documents; but, like my Chinese warrior and maybe my ring will show up as well.

    - now you have some Mother(s) confused about where that other sock went when they get ready to put them together. LOL! I know you probably bought several msny psgshrd. socks. That was such a good idea. My Mother made 6 stockings for 'her' grandchildren and and I might decide to make sure each of my grandchildren have one, one of these days. But Louis is in the computer room with a hammer. Wonder what he is doing in there to fill them takes a small at I use to get up in our bed. We will have to measure the walls; but, since I got out of the hospital I sleep in the middle of the bed; I think we could put the queen-sized bed in put bedroom and our king-sized bed in the 2nd bedroom. But the is something I will have to talk to Louis about. He probably would not care. When we decide what to do with the carpeting or putting down hardwood on our kitchen, computer room and tile in the bathroom, and carpeting in the rest of our house, we've got a corner cabinet that would not fit a new TV. Since Will's corner cabinet is just a bottom of something, we might get him to measure it and tell us what size his TV in. If I saw the perfect table we could put ours and move the chairs futher apart and down towards the way they are now. I don't remember what we paid for it; but, could go back to the furniture store and find out what we'd have to pay if we were getting a new one.

    Louis needed my hand helping him fix my drawer in my lingerie chest of drawers that fits the wall between the tub and toilet; but that room will be worked on after a few other things are done. That was what he was using the hammer for.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    HAPPY HANUKKAH!

    Tracy, your ornaments are lovely! Enjoy the holiday train!
    KJ, sorry to hear about your MIL, I sure hope your hubby does go to see her, and soon. When my dad was in hospital and the end was near, my older son and I went there for a few hours early afternoon. That night, around 7, I just got the feeling that I should go back up, but talked myself out of it and rationalized saying I would go up first thing in the morning. He passed around 11 pm. I am really trying to follow my instincts now and if I have a strong feeling like that again, I will follow through.
    Lisa, my cats used to try different doors hoping for better weather too! Pretty hard to convince them that it was going to be the same....
    Machka, love the snow and sand men! Your hubby is sure lucky to have you on his side, I can't even begin to imagine just what would be happening to him if he didn't have you as an advocate!
    Karen in VA and all others in the path of the storm, I hope you all keep safe and warm.
    Allie, Mary must be one unhappy woman to have to inflict that much conflict on the workplace. Not fun for anyone else either, to have to put up with her.

    Staff Christmas party last night, managed to drag hubby there, he didn't even kick or scream too much. :s Honestly, sometimes it's just easier to leave him at home! We didn't stay late as I'm at work this morning, and worked all day yesterday also. Was supposed to be off at 4, but a couple came in at 3:57 and wanted to rent a storage unit. I was tempted to ask them to come back today, but then I asked myself "What would Donna (our manager) do?" Well, Donna would stay late and rent them the locker, so that's what I did. I still got home in plenty of time to get ready, I really don't need a lot of time, I don't do too much for makeup and was just wearing dress pants and a dressy top, so not a lot of fuss and bother there. And I will get paid for the extra time, so it's not like I'm out anything.
    Hugs to those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!

    Pip - I think you run at twice my speed. You go gurl!!!!

    Managed to just sneak in at my calorie allowance today, thanks to our afternoon bonus calorie walk. :D Meant I burnt off 840.
    Will try for a run tomorrow, depending on the weather.

    I hope to tidy up the room at the top of the house, where my elder son will be sleeping. He works in a warehouse, so I don't want him to feel he's sleeping in one! My wardrobe shoe rack arrived today, so the big box of shoes and boots is emptied. Still have heavy things, like books, to shift, which may be DH's task, and I have to shift beds around. He is too large to sleep on one single, so I will put the two beds together. Hope he doesn't fall through the middle. I will put a fitted sheet across the two to anchor them!
    We will also be making up the king size in the spare front room for my DSIL and her boyfriend who are arriving the day my son leaves. I have already decided we are going out to the real pizza place with them in the evening. Will book it tomorrow. I will make lunch for them and give them orange cake for tea. Must remind them to bring their free bus passes.

    Katla - How lovely that you got to see your son. <3 And you have other company. We are so busy at the moment it's a bit overwhelming, but we will be alone from Christmas Eve onwards. Not sure how I feel about that. :*;)

    Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxx
