We're getting closer, only five more days to go... (well, till Xmas eve I mean, coz you know our chocolate calendar goes on till New Year's day )

When you're coughing the way I do and you speak like dat coz you've got a stuffy nose, they can't exactly tell you it's in your head, although technically your nose is part of your head so it kind of is
Doctor said I had bronchitis, so she gave me drugs, lots of them (cortisone and antibotics) I'm on sick leave for a couple of days and I'm starting to feel a little bit better already so things are looking up.

Just adding my own two cents to the SW debate, I love the original three, believe the three he did after that (I, II & III) were a pile of fuming manure and the first one Disney made was a carbon copy of episode IV (I mean come on!! seriously people?!!)
I haven't seen the last one, for obvious reasons, but I'll have to go eventually because I promised a friend of mine I would go with him. He's already seen it once and says it's amazing so he's gonna drag me back there anyway.

Dawn
Sorry about your piping problems, that's not exactly the sort of crap you need around Xmas when there's a gazillion things to do
I'll come and give you a hand for the painting, shall I?

Kimmie
I really hope things get better, that sounds painful.
I can't believe a doctor would tell you it's all in your head, I mean who in their mind would say "I'd rather spend Xmas at the hospital than at home" if they're not in pain?
I'll come over and slap them around for you if you want me to

Now that is an interesting cake. Stripes, zigzags, circles & chocolate.
You should be done with school by now Twee! Our last day was Dec. 15. Apparently was for Cuddles too, since she hasn't been here this week.
Hope you are feeling better.

Haven't decided what to do today; cleaning; last minute shopping.....
Nice to have a relaxed day.

There You'll Be

Ooh pretty Twee!

Thanks. Twee. Live in rehab sucks, but at least I know what to expect now, and how to deal with it. Last time I just felt scared and trapped. I might need you to come slap them around. We'll see later this week.

Indy, yay for quiet with the babies and dogs gone. Having a relaxed day is always a good thing. Enjoy it, whatever you decide to do.

Indy
That was a very geometrical cake, maybe I should stick to one shape today: the sphere... but with trees and chocolate in it

TweedleD

Indy
I'm starting to feel human again, which I guess is a good thing since I have to go back to work tomorrow... yup school's not out yet, I won't be on holiday till friday.

Vacation is a little late this year, but I think I like it better this way, it means we won't be back to school until January 8th and I'd rather have more time after the festivities than before. You know diving right back into it after New Year's day is the worst, you're even more tired than you were before you got time off. I need time to recover

I'm happy Cuddles is off but it doesn't feel as festive when she's not around to pick music for us

So, what did you decide to do with your day eventually?

Kimmie
I'll come and do all the slapping you want me to, just steer me towards a target

IndyFan

I did shopping and cleaning both.
Tomorrow will be more of the same.
Friday will be wrapping day & Saturday will be baking cookies day.

That is a beautiful picture with the trees!
I would hate to eat it and mess it up.

TweedleD

Indy
How about messing up a nice chocolate tartelette?
Here, let me give it a start




Ding dong... I think I'm channeling Cuddles, I feel like caroling
Hark how the bells,
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
Throw cares away
Christmas is here,
Bringing good cheer,
To young and old,
Meek and the bold.
Ding dong ding dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling.
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From everywhere
Filling the air.
Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale,
Telling their tale.
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here.
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
On on they send,
On without end,
Their joyful tone
To every home.
Ding dong ding dong
Ding dong ding dong
Hark how the bells,
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
Throw cares away
(We will throw cares away)
Christmas is here,
Bringing good cheer,
To young and old,
Meek…

IndyFan

Mmmmmmm. Very nice!
Too bad the other Poolies aren't coming by to sample it with us.

I'm glad you are channeling Cuddles and posting a song.
I don't know that one.

Took my sister to do her shopping today. Glad I'm done! The stores are getting even busier.

IndyFan

Happy Friday!
We have been blessed this week with a new roof.
No more watching shingles fly off onto the yard.

There You'll Be

Just popping in for a minute. Mom's going to drop me off at the ER in a bit.

Legs, feet, and ankles are swollen. Hoping it's just water. Anyway, y'all keep good thoughts and energy coming my way, and I'll catch up with you when I can.

IF I don't see you MERRY CHRISTMAS and hugs.

Danuck

Kimmie...I hope you've got your computer with you so you can keep in contact with us

Twee....I think I'm getting a sugar rush with all this chocolate I'm glad you're feeling better and are now officially on your jolly holidays

Indy... I haven't even started wrapping yet

I went to the pictures this afternoon and saw It's A Wonderful Life on the big screen. It was full up there and we sang Christmas carols before the film came on I cried through most of the film as usual

Having an early night because there's so much to do tomorrow and Sunday.

Dawnie

TweedleD

I'm officially on holiday!! This calls for chocolate




Indy
Surely you know that one, it's Carol of the bells.
NB: feeling totally ashamed after realizing I mispelled channeling
I'm so out of it lately, I totally blame it on my being sick, I'll go and edit that one out, sorry
I'm impressed with how you guys manage to get everything done in time, I'm so far behind, I don't think I've ever been this late with all things Xmas as this year. I did decorate the tree this afternoon... at last, and I've done some light shopping but I'm afraid most presents will have to wait until after Xmas this year.

As for cards, you'll get mine for New Year's because it just wasn't humanly possible to send anything before Xmas *hangs head in shame*
Indy & Dawn
I feel even worse since I got both your cards, thank you very much btw

Kimmie
I hope things get better for you, I'll pop up on twitter and keep an eye out for news, sending good Xmas vibes and lots of chocloate your way

Dawn
I wish I could say I'm feeling better but I'm still on meds and this thing just won't die, it's fighting nasty and refuses to leave me alone, I just hope it doesn't completely ruin Xmas, especially since my parents are now sick too
Is your water problem all under control now?

IndyFan

Twee, I didn't notice that you had a spelling error! Don't worry about it.
Oh, I know Carol Of The Bells....but with different words:
(Ring Christmas bells, merrily ring)
Glad the card arrived. I always wonder if it will get to Kooba or you or Dawn first.
I haven't heard anything from Koob. She's busy with her son's graduation.

Bunnykins- hope you get back home tonight!

Dawn- glad you enjoyed your movie.

Supposed to start having snow tonight. We'll see.

IndyFan

It's snowing! This will be the first white Christmas in years.
