| everyone!
Sorry I've been a tad MIA, I took Friday off to attend a luncheon at my friend's house and go do a little shopping. At the luncheon, which was very nice, the most amazing dessert was served - gingerbread trifle! It was amazing. My friend baked a gingerbread cake and layered it with french vanilla pudding and Heath bars, crushed up. OMG it was good! ML - maybe you can find a recipe like that (I just google ingredients and something comes up!) and take that to your SIL's house. It was so yummy.
I had a great weekend, went to a party given by one of my Pilates classmates on Saturday night. It was so fun. We had one of those "Yankee Swap" gift exchanges where you get to steal gifts from people, it was fun. I ended up with something that I can't really use, but it was still fun. Went shopping yesterday with my friends and their daughter who's 16 and very fun. She even carried most of the packages, her teeny little self is strong! I think I'm all done shopping now. and I'm one of those marathon wrappers, I buy it, pile it up and then wrap it in one fell swoop. I wish, Wen, that I was organized enough to wrap as I buy, but alas, I'm hopeless.
Wen - I'm so happy about your chair! We have a soft leather recliner that we call "the marshmallow" b/c it's so soft and squishy and comfy. That was nice of Mother to get that for you. I hope Laine did well on her test, poor little stressed out thing . I don't do stress very well either and forget taking a test if I'm stressed.
We didn't get anything near what ML's getting in New England, we got rain, a tiny bit of icing, mostly from rain turning to ice in the cold night temps. We're getting hit by terrible winds today and last night was INTENSE! My little Hazel hates wind, she doesn't understand what it is and she hides and frets the whole night. She goes into our hall bathroom, which doesn't have a window and hides all day. I guess it's sort of like a cave to her, dark and quiet. I can hear the wind howling outside right now.
ML - you really got walloped with the bad weather! What a terrible couple of days you've had weather-wise.I thought Moonlight was pretty good on Friday night, but the ending had me wanting to hurt someone. I wanted Beth to go paint the town with Mick, but she had to go home to the cute-but-not-Mick boyfriend. Pooh! I guess evil vampire wife is on the prowl somewhere. So they've run out of scripts? I hate this writer's strike. Just give them what they want!
VB - that's a bad situation you're in, wanting the new job, needing a job now and not knowing if you'll end up getting the one you really want. Good luck with that, hun! That's a whole lot of people interviewing for the same job! Funny what ML said about it being the Prime Minister of Israel!
Podmom - once again, you crack me up with your Jason/Santa pics. Love them! I wish I could figure out how to do that stuff. I envy you walking on the beach yesterday, even though it was cold and windy, it must have been beautiful.
Must go get something constructive done today. I'm not at full speed today! __________________ "Life is hard; it's even harder if you're stupid"--John Wayne |
