Morning!!

Its a chiily one here as well-4F (-teens+C) but a brief warm up to upper twenties the next 3 days. Perhaps I can chisel the snow off the driveway again.

Feeling a bit better this morning. Took some ibuprofen last night for the throat and it eased the pain so I will continue. Tired though as the cats woke me 3 times from 2:30 am until the alarm at 5:30!!

Going to continue to warm some gifts this am before work as I also have to load up the truck with all my recyclables as the new company the county hired hasn't picked up for 5 weeks! So off to the county recycle center.

Might rent a movie tonite as re-runs are overtaking the TV until after Christmas.

The boys had a brief stay in the garage-too cold for even them so they are all back in the house keeping warm.

Have a good one-Christmas Eve in a week EEK!!!!

Good morning!

Back at work today after a day of vacation yesterday.

I agree with you, GailC, about reruns on tv. But I started watching the Vampire Diaries marathon on the CW this past Monday night...and I rather got hooked into it. Oh, it's full of teenaged drama and all that (as are most CW shows), but for a vampire show, it's not too bad, I guess. Now, Moonlight, geez, I loved that show! But I digress....sorry.

Anyway, not too much going on here in Pennsylvania right now. Trying to stay warm in the bitter cold and wind. The cats seem to be sucked fast to the electric blanket on the bed; they are not going anywhere. I need to do some shopping tonight, but that's all that's on my agenda for right now.

Enjoy your Thursday!

chilly here too, but the sun is peeking out. The boys are sat by the balcony door watching for our squirrels to make an appearance.
Off to work soon. Tonight I have to get onto my last minute Christmas cards already!
Have a good day everyone!

Morning All!!

Very cold here as well but at least the sun is shining for a change.

Not much planned for the day. Have a bit of housework to do. Other then that I am going to have a pretty quiet day.

The kitties also like the sun they are chasing each other around the house having a great time.

Have a good day

I hope you feel better Gail!


Another cold day in Philly but today we have hot water. The tank was leaking pretty bad when DH got up yesterday (after his shower). We called a plumber but as Dh was on his way home his brother called and offered to help. We saved $300 by doing so but it wasn't done till 8pm. Needless to say I was excited to shower first thing this morning. I chopped my hair again too. I added some layers. I am too scared to have a professional do it. At least I can control the length and the crazy curls cover any mistakes.


Just waiting to hear if my SS got their gift and what they thought.


Mom should be baking today but my son distracts her too much.

During my son's 2 hour nap I hope to wrap some gifts before DH comes home sick

Have a good day.

Morning. Chilly here too.. (please don't throw things at me when i say it's in the 50s!) I think we should've put the heat on last night! BF said he had a bit of a sore throat from the cold air last night. Oh well, he'll live. It was tough to get out from under the covers though..

Work today, my bosses seem to be in a stressed out rushing around bad mood which i hate. Boss has to go to Las Vegas tomorrow morning for a project, then he leaves on Monday morning to spend xmas in San Francisco with his kids, and the other boss goes home to Utah tomorrow night. So yeah they're rushing around like mad. Me, I got nothing going on for the holidays this year so, eh.

Tonight though is the duffy boat ride, or 'brews cruise', with the LB Hopheads. I hate it because I hate boats, even though it's just little boats going through small canals. It's I guess a 2 hour thing going around the Naples canals, looking at the really nicely decorated houses with lots of lights and displays. 6 boats, each boat has 12 people and sufficient beers and food. Beer but no toilets, so by the time that 2 hours is up I will be RUNNING for the nearest bathroom. I will try my hardest to enjoy myself a bit, BF is a boat captain for the first time this year so I hope he doesn't run us into anything..


I made some cookies last night to bring for tonight and I have another batch to do today after work. Rum raisin cookies, I had to soak the raisins in the rum overnight. I also ran out of brown sugar. So it will be a busy day after work today.

Have a good day everyone and stay warm!

I didn't want to wake up this morning
I think I hit the snooze button a dozen times
Last night was the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert (sooo exciting!!!) so we didn't get in till late. This morning I went to the doctor because I had a nasty allergic reaction to the Hepatitis B vaccine our school gave us last week (saw some retard I've never seen before...and will NEVER go back again!!) After that I went to the post office...thank goodness for very patient, helpfull staff there!
, Then I grabbed food on the way to school and spent the rest of the day doing labs/test prep. I passed my lab and my test from the other day! YA!!
Tonight I'm heading over to Jack's place to make him some soup (he's sick) and then I'm going to study for another exam tmr.
