Pff you're rockin in the 100's Tracy!!! And I'm sorry but I laughed when you said Extreme Home Make Over made you cry.....

I tell you a secret to make it up to you though.. The attorney commercials "Do you know someone who ..... then call us and blah blah we get you $$".. one of those came on the other day and had some elderly people looking abused and I got teary-eyed.

LOL! Laura! That is your preggo hormones talking! ROFL!

Whew... just in from putting little white lights on the crabapple tree in the backyard. It's right next to the hot tub so it will look really pretty at night. We will leave the lights on all year. We're taking a break and then going to put lights on the peak of the roof over the porch. Can't believe how much we have to do yet! I bought a ton of lights on sale after Christmas last year so we're inventing places to put them. (dont' even go there!!!)

Going to go have a bottle of my peach drink and relax a bit before heading out into the cold air again.

[Teachlady 3]

So how come they're not talking?????

Hey I never told you all about the 7th graders caught drinking on campus too. I know I mentioned the 6th graders. Also, on Friday, a student assulted a teacher (who is in her 60's), slapped her three times (1 hard) in the head!!! It was a real weird Friday! Gotta love middle school!

Mmmmmm... house smells so good... am simmering Hungarian Goulash for ds's b'day dinner... w/Boston Cream Pie (why do they call it a pie when it's so obviously more cake-like?) for dessert... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

:smile2:

Hang in there, TracyKS!! You're doing great!! XHM always makes me cry, too...

Judy... they'll be able to see your house from the Int'l Space Station!! Santa won't miss it, that's for sure!! (I still have my orange halloween lights up... I'm so bad @ holiday decorating!! lol!)

Back to work... ugh...

[Teachlady 3]

Boston Cream Pie and Pecan Pie are my all time favorite Desserts. And I wonder how I got fat!!!!

The lights are on the house... my fingers are numb from the cold. Tomorrow we get the lights on the big tree in the front yard and set up the lighted deer. Then we should be done with the outside.

[mdrai 3]

I KNOW how I got fat... and yet that self-knowledge still didn't (DOESN'T) help me... huh.

[TerriDoodle 6]

I have so many favorite desserts it would be hard to pick one. Anyone want my list???

I didn't think so.....

Michelle, I'd be in BIG trouble if I lived in your house, that is for sure.

Creme Brulee is my all time favorite, hands down. Let's get this thread off of page 666!!!

I did Christmas lights last year, and everyone we know made fun of them.. so I refuse to do them again! Plus I shouldn't get up on a ladder as a preggo lady.. and I sure as heck know Russell isn't going to do them.

For those of you with lots of lights and care to know, Home Depot is doing something.. you trade in your strand of lights and they give you free or discounted energy saving Christmas lights (I vaguely listen to radio commercials) but it may be worth looking into.

It's been in the 40's and tonight it's suppose to freeze, all I have for coats are the 3x ones.. and the one Jennifer sent me.. Jennifer I love it, too bad I have 2 white cats.. it's already covered in cat hair

So I went to Cato's to get some new jacket(s). The new style is 3/4 sleeve coats & jackets. ARGH?! They display them with a model wearing long sleeve shirts under it, but I prefer a t-shirt style with a coat.. not a 3/4 sleeve coat with a long sleeve shirt. It's so weird.. So I bought several sweaters, that I can use as jackets.. and one of these goofy 3/4 sleeve jackets just because it was cute.. khaki corduroy with big wooden flower-shaped buttons..and baby-doll style so my belly won't outgrow it.

Just got back from dinner. ooooooooo the lights are so pretty!! We put them on a timer so we could check them out coming home and then we turned them off til after Thanksgiving. Don't want the neighbors to get hostile!!

The tree in the backyard by the hot tub looks magical. I love it! We are going to do the same to the tree on the other side of the deck. Those lights will stay on year round. I've been wanting to do that for a long time, but we never got around to it til now.

I'm going to go watch the local news and then wait for Joe to pick me up to take me to my rehearsal. It sucks not having my car to myself, but at least I'm fortunate enough to be able to loan it to him without it causing too much of an imposition on me. At least this way the car will be warm when he takes me to rehearsal and warm when he picks me up. Always look at the bright side!!

Everyone have a good night. I'll be back after hot tubbing.

I agree Laura.. we need to get off of page 666.

And we need pics of you in your new jacket.. !!
