I used to really deck my house out for Christmas, but about 7 years ago we really downsized. It actually only takes me about a 1/2 hour to put things out now. We don't even put a tree up. With it just being hubby and I, we chose not to put one up. It wouldn't have presents under it anyway. But I still have my favorites that I still like to put out. Halloween is when I really decorate.

Clear liquids all day today. That's gonna be a toughie. I'm gonna go get my sister later and take her to the grocery store and then get her some lunch and take her home. Then tonight after midnight, nothing to drink at all. No sips of Water,

The carpets are getting shampooed today and I'll be changing sheets on the beds. Don't really have any laundry so that will be nice. House will be in order and I won't have to worry about anything for a few days.

Cold and rainy here today. Maybe I can have a fire in the fireplace this evening.

Make it a good one.

I am here guys. Very VERY sad about some family issues.

Angela-I will call Kat later and get back to you.

Good morning!!!

Tracy...I'm sorry to hear that you are sad! Things will get better. You're in my prayers!

Nothing exciting happening with me. DH and I went and ate Japanese food last night. I'm cooking baked chicken with a honey bbq glaze tonight. And Friday night I'm cooking seared fliets! YUMM!!!! If anybody wants the recipe, let me know. It's fabulous! DH's snoring is still causing us to sleep in separate bedrooms most the time. UGH! I got up this morning and fixed him an egg sandwich before he went to work. I figured it would be easier for me to cook him Breakfast, and save the money.

My mom still hasn't heard from the doctor, so we are assuming that nothing is wrong. It would have been nice if they at least called and said "Nothing is wrong."

My Christmas shopping is almost done! I'm going to buy DH's last present tomorrow. I'm getting him a garage door opener kit for his Harley. The garage door will open when you flash the headlight. We only have 4 presents left to buy for family. Whoo!! And I bought the cutest wrapping paper: red and white houndstooth! Okay..I'm rambling. Sorry!! haha Have a great day!!!!

Boy, talk about a tough day. Nothing but Clear Liquids all day and guess what I did?????Went to the grocery store. Oh My. But I survived, I did a lot of sniffing. I've had chicken broth and a Route 44 Ice Tea with lemon. And also Water today.

Tracy, Poor Macy. I'm sending her a big air hug. I hope she gets over the strep fast.

Thanks Suz! I hope she gets well quickly too....I hate seeing my babygirl suffer. And, I feel a sore throat coming on.

Congrats on doing so well on liquids. I need to really put myself on a liquid diet for a day or 2. You inspire me.

Poor Macy and poor you. It is hard to see our babies sick. I hope she gets over it quickly. If they didn't give her a shot and she isn't feeling quite a bit better by Friday, please return to the doc for a shot. I was on Zythromax and actually got a lot worse in two days time. It took two shots to clear mine up.

We on the other hand have to learn how to live with food. To not let it take over our lives. It ain't easy.

Amen Sister!

Amen Sister!

Oh, hello. I am sorry if you posted earlier and I missed it. I like new people!

Hi StrangeDZ

Evening!

First off, Ashley, your chili mac was a hit here!! Thank you for sharing your recipe.

It looks like Tracy and I are going to miss Kat this trip. Tracy mentioned above that Macy is sick and Zach had a doctor's appointment today and they bumped his surgery to this Friday.

I am a wee bit pissed because we had this planned since his last surgery in July. We picked Tuesday to be the day. His doctor came in today and said he had a full schedule on Tuesday. Really? And he knew this since July? No, we got bumped. He put him on the calendar for the day after Thanksgiving. Not going to happen. I have a house full of people coming in. We found out that he has an opening this Friday, but honestly, it looks bad at my job for me to be taking sick time right before a weeks vacation.

I keep all my documents and my job is well aware of the accident so hopefully everything will be fine. It just chaps my butt a little.

Suzie...I read about you being on liquids. Forgive me...isn't your surgery coming up soon? I have a foggy brain right now.

I am gonna go Facebook for a bit and then hit the sack. Have a good one!

Angela

Well, here I sit. I need to get some sleep but it ain't coming. Don't know why. I took a benadryl a few hours ago and I feel like I could sleep but everytime I lay my head down and close my eyes all kinds of things start running thru my mind.

Angela, so sorry about the surgery date changing. I know it's hard enough on Zach to get ready for it but a Mom is a different story. You have to mentally get ready for it and mentally get ready for Zach to deal with it. Keep your chin up and I will be keeping you guys in my prayers.

Tracy, anything new on Macy? Is she getting enough sleep. That's the best thing she could do for herself.

I'm still not tired :blushing:. But I'll be getting enough sleep tomorrow. I guess I'm just a little wired right now.

Angela, I'm so glad that yall loved the chili Pasta skillet! I'm cooking it tonight!!! Tomorrow night, I'm cooking seared filets in brandy.

I had a horrible day yesterday. It started off good. But my computer got a virus (even though I renewed my anti-virus yesterday). I'm hoping it didn't strip my hard drive. One of my mom's employees is coming to hopefully fix it. I'm praying that he can fix it!!! I do not want to lose my accounting system and cash register!!!! :blushing: Then I come home to cook dinner, mess up the dishwasher rack, which DH easily fixed. I looked at him in tears over the day. Poor DH, he sometimes doesn't know how to handle my crazy emotions with this depression. Well, I knew I would need help eating dinner since I was so stressed. So I poured myself a glass of wine.

I'm enjoying getting up and cooking for DH in the mornings. I told him "Now you can tell all the guys at work that you too have a wife that gets up and cooks for you!" lol Well, I have a list of things to do today. I guess I should go start getting ready. Thankfully, my Yorkie is getting groomed today...and I am hopeful and praying my computer gets fixed!!!

[Suziecat 379]

Went to bed about 2 am and got up at 5. Bad night for sleep. But I'll be in bed for the next few days so I'm not worried.

Tracy, How's Macy doing this morning? I hope she is getting a little relief and is able to get some rest. Poor thing.

I'll text Tracy later this evening to let her know how things went.

Anybody hear from Kat lately??

Have a great day everyone.
