Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening Friends,
I’ve been reading along as much as possible but been staying very busy. I started taking notes but my post would have been too long for anyone to read so I’ll just say, (((Hugs))) to those that need them, I’m so sorry for those with problems and so happy for those with good things going on in your lives. I hope this holiday season brings good things to all of you.
I’m finished with all my Christmas parties and Moose activities for the month so I have a week and a half to get to stay home and chill. I have been doing terrible with my eating but other than my weight, I’m happy. Things have calmed a bit with DD and she is doing well at work. I just thank the good Lord that we are all relatively healthy. None of us are interested in turkey or ham for Christmas dinner so I think we might grill steaks. That’s the only meat that DD eats. Otherwise it’s fish, seafood and veggies. I’ve enjoyed the pictures and stories and hope to get back to reading and posting soon. I miss you when I’m not with you ladies.
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.
Just a couple of things I saw recently that made me think of you:
The more you weigh,
the harder you are to kidnap.
Stay safe; eat cake.
Sending love, good thoughts and sunshine to all of you.
I Love you

I read every night no matter how tired I am even if it’s only for 15min. Usually read 3-4hrs. My books are my friends. It’s nice to go somewhere else once a day.8 -

Yea, me. Jess just got here. It's late and the craving for carbs is high. Those cookies are calling. But I'm having grapes instead. trust me, that took willpower.

Generations Passing My cousin Dick (who passed away recently) was my 1st cousin once removed, i.e., my mother's first cousin. There is only one member of that generation left - Wayne - who has always been a bit of a loner. I don't know him well, met him only once. My mother, her brother, and their cousins were raised in South Dakota on a Sioux Indian reservation where my Caucasian grandfather and his brothers ran the general stores. The cousins were very close and had many adventures together - one day the three youngest (Wayne, Burton, & Dick) decided to walk to a town about 5 miles away because they couldn't convince anyone to take them there & they wanted to go (not sure what the lure was, maybe a movie theater). They were about 3 or 4 years old. A reservation resident noticed them, loaded them into his cart, and brought them back home. They had gotten over halfway to their destination. They had a very free and wonderful childhood. My mother lived above the general store. One time Granny had to be gone for a couple of weeks for some surgery on her jaw. Mom was 12. She kept the household going while Granny was gone. When Granny got back from having surgery she took my mom to see Katherine Hepburn on stage as a reward for holding down the fort so well! That would have been around 1935 or 1936 when Hepburn was in her late 20's.
My mother's first word was Sioux - a slang word for "off" (as in telling a dog not to jump on her). I still have many relatives in the Hills and other parts of the Dakotas. My grandson's middle name is Dakota (Griffin Dakota).
I think Wayne lives on the West Coast somewhere. I think I will find out & send him a note.

I'd like to ... but unfortunately by the time I go to bed, it's either a) get the whole 6 hours of sleep, or b) read and only get 5 and a bit hours of sleep.
I'm also the type who falls asleep while getting into bed half the time, so even if I do think "maybe I'll read a bit" my next thought is often, "Oh look, it's 2:57 am and I need to get up and use the toilet".

No more work for the next month ... except for 4 days in early January. A different sort of busy starts now!2

Janetr - Being old and naive right along with you. I thought Woo! was a good thing.
Heather - Such a diffficult time. I hope they can give here a good Christmas at home.
Meg - I love float therapy. I said I wouldn't go nude, turn off the lights or close the lid on the pod. Guess who does all of the above. Try having a little Kava beforehand.
Yesterday I came home early because of pain again. I don't like doing that.
Today, we took recycling, visited Costco and went out for Birthday supper for Kim.
I have not accomplished what I wanted over the last few days,
Really disappointed that the kit from ancestry.ca has not arrived.
We have lots and lots and lots of snow.

Hi, I did it! Plenty of drama included. Our leader started feeling dizzy (he has recently been diagnosed with Parkinsons) and he decided to turn around and go back. Me and another hiker went with him to make sure he made it and then we turned around and walked back up the big hill, so really I've done part of the Tongariro twice. LOL. Then a woman in the group walking in front of us slipped on loose shale and broke her ankle. They had to call in the rescue helicopter to come and get her. Two of our group fell in the same dangerous spot but luckily did not break anything. I slipped a couple of times but did not go all the way down. Then towards the end of the walk, one of our group who is diabetic started dropping. I think he fell three times even though people were walking next to him helping him. He'd been monitoring his blood and had glucose tablets and insulin but he still got out of whack. He was a first time hiker. We managed to get him back to the van and he came right after another insulin shot. I am BEAT. I walked for 7 hours with a pack, up some steep hills. Very good fun and made new friends. Another tick on the bucket list. Wendy

Holy shamoley, Wendy, that's a lot of drama for one hike... well done for making it!
Heather - I hope your friend passes on her terms, she sounds like an amazing human being.
I'm done with my last day of work now until the New Year. Corey and I are headed up to the mountains for at least one night, maybe two... just to wander, look for places we might like to settle. Getting up there in the wintertime is important, as we want to see it when the trees are bare of leaves as well. Fell in love with it in the fall, of course, it was gorgeous. You have to see a place at its worst too.
Hooked up my webcam finally... Need to get (or create) a room divider, as we live in such a small space that the camera only sees chaos behind me. Thinking of starting a podcast/vlog. Why not? Being on camera scares me, so like most things in this life that scare me (except spiders and snakes), I'm running toward it. Don't know if I'll actually have enough guts to put videos up where people can see 'em, but we'll find out now, won't we. It's a good project for ten days off... and it's paid days, which is a very good thing.
Got a few things I need to get done online, and then start packing for a few badly needed days of being just us again. It's when we do our best dreaming together...
Love y'all!

morning ladies~
again didnt sleep well, but didnt take my meletonin either
have to work 10-4 today, was going out with Doris ,but weather going to be iffy and need to make money where I can.
Tom not getting in until 10 o clock tomorrow..so will try and take as much stuff home from here today as I can ... have laundry in the dryer.... and will take a shower in a bit..2 -
OH...I want to use the WOO button so bad! We REALLY need something more enthusiastic than "like".
Wendy- You are my WOO-HOO!! I love that shot at the top of the hill/mountain; arms out and face smiling! Congrats!
Beth-Your home looks fantastic!
Lanette-My hubby does the same with me, in regards to the picking. Perhaps it is a side effect of the RA? Like you, I end up making my meals of all of the left overs in the fridge. I can usually make something different out of the left overs if they are basic, like a roast or a simple baked/grilled chicken. I will add a different spice and add it to a different side dish. My DYS calls it "fusion" food! LOL.
Well, one of the families that I interviewed with, called me last night and decided that they would like their child(ren) to come to my daycare! They have two boys, ages 2 1/2 and newborn. The 2 1/2 yr old has a daycare that he attends, currently; but the woman who runs the daycare home is retiring. So 2 1/2 yr old will begin on a part time basis to get used to me and the kids in January, the newborn will begin coming full time in February when mom goes back to work and the 2 1/2 yr old will begin full time in March when I will have room for him! So...it's kind of a "two-for"! Yea! I am full again!
It is party day, today. I have nine kids here (they tend to come out of the woodwork for parties). I have the sugar cookies baked and ready for decorating, but I need to make the frosting (because I forgot to buy some). It should be a crazy, but good day! AND...it will be over in ten hours and I get 14 days off!!!
DH's tooth is out. His face is swollen and he is miserable; but he has good painkillers that make him go to sleep! (Thank God)
This tooth was one of his upper molars. His upper jawbone seems much stronger than the lower. Earlier this year he had a tooth out on the lower jaw and the bone splintered and kept coming up through his gums for about a month or so after the removal. I really hope this doesn't happen with this one.
Anyway! Gotta fly! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)4 -
Wendy ~ What a feat you have accomplished!
Kelly ~ Congrats on a new day care client. Can you manage a newborn with all the toddlers. Sorry about your DH's tooth. After having a molar pulled a year ago, I am hoping never ever to have another tooth pulled.
Heather ~ So sad about your BFF! Good thoughts and prayers for you and her.
Hugs for all who are hurting both physically and mentally!
