We got all our Christmas shopping done.  Well, except for stocking stuffers.  We're going to head to Sam's to get snacks to put in the stockings.  But everything else is bought!  Yesterday my kids gave me a card that said, "Our day isn't as sunny without you.  Flowers don't smell as pretty without you.  And the birds don't chirp as loudly without you.  We love you."  They made my day.  AND, my foot seems to be getting better with the shoe inserts.  So YEAH!

What a thoughtful card!

I'm glad your foot is getting better.

Thanks! I got some very nice pm's about my foot. I'm just happy to know what it is. And yes, the card is sweet. My kids have decided to surprise me with a little gift every day up until Christmas. The other day they brought me a chocolate bar. One day was a Starbucks card. One day I got a rice krispy treat. They're sweet.

Morning!

The wind is really howling. Started last night and has gotten worse. The van is going to be a joy to drive this morning.

Hope everyone has a blessed day.

My DD in NYC got a frantic call from an ex in Ohio this morning. His dad murdered his new wife and step daughter and has been institutionalized. The poor son is a mess. He lives with his mother and sister, who are a wreck now too. Poor kid.

Morning all!

I hope you can swim, Lily.

That's horrible, MM. Wow.

Glad your foot is better, NJN. Enjoy your kids' love!

I'm working from home today. The boys have a "reading" at school that I'm attending. It's warm and drizzly here. The sun is trying to come out, but it's supposed to rain this afternoon. And reach 70. Very odd for December in DC.

well it happened. My BIL proposed to his GF. He did it with a ring pop because she had already told him she wanted to pick out her ring herself. No one is excited about this.

I don't think I'm aware of the BIL's GF's backstory, bonny. I'm guessing you don't like her?

My DH proposed with a cheap imitation diamond ring because he wanted me to pick it out. I still have that ring in the beautiful musical ring box he presented it in, and would have been happy with it.

Morning everyone. I got absolutely zero accomplished this weekend. I watched a bunch of cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies & NCIS reruns. I also watched Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors movie which was very good. But basically I sat on my lazy ass all weekend.

The little girl in that show is on my soap, lexxy. (Y&R). She's a cutie.

I did nothing this weekend either except relax with the boys.

 BIL is slightly on the autism spectrum.  He's an engineer which suits his personality very well.  He's always struggled with depression.  His GF is ex mormon and divorced.  She's very blah and is not supportive of his depression.  I don't think she gets that its a medical condition that will need to be managed his entire life.  

She's very demanding about things being her way.  She is not comfortable with the fact that he's Catholic or the amount of church the family goes to and has been vocal about it.  BIL is our sons god-father and the family takes it very seriously.   I just don't like her and nobody else has anything nice to say about her really either.

I think he proposed because they've been dating for almost two years and this is the next step.  Its just part of the process, not because he's really excited about getting married.

Yes, it was. They had her sing Friday to her newborn brother. That was how they ended the show with her little voice singing a Christmas song. I figured it was to promote the movie.

Bonny, he's going to have to make his own decisions and sink or swim.  I know it's hard to sit back and watch.

flan, you can't be sad in Hawaii with all that beauty!  Enjoy your time there and just text DS how much you love him!

I haven't seen firefly.  I'm afraid to even know about it because I don't need to get addicted to any more shows.

Nice to see Lily complaining about the weather again.

Czech, you know you love those babies!

A friend lent me her Roku for a few weeks. She has a ton of programs on it. The grand's watched a lot of Christmas programs on it this weekend.

I had to sneak time for it myself. But, I got the show for free! I really did enjoy the program. You should try it, NJN.

Firefly, that is.

Exactly when are you going to be done?

You made a big fuss about my needing to have the last word but you just can't let it go.

It's hilarious that you're still so perturbed.

 I don't know.  If I state a fact I'm complaining.  If I say it's raining I'm complaining.  If I say my friend went crazy it's not a fact I'm complaining.  If I talk about my family I'm complaining.  If I say ANYTHING she tells me I'm complaining.  I could freakin say the sky is blue and she tells me I'm complaining.  The funny thing is other people can start whole threads about stuff and she never says anything.  Czech started a whole thread about her daughter and SHE'S not a whiner.  But I am.  So I don't know what her issue is.  If ANYONE ELSE on the board said the same things I did it would be okay in her book.  But it seems that every little detail that comes out of my mouth she labels as whining.  Yet she says she has no issues with me.  You'd think she'd just skip over my posts.
