Sarah

Hi Sarah goood morning - hope your mind is now functioning - I am tired all the time. This is a roller coaster - yesterday 57 deg. today there was ice on the windshield - and the word snow came up NO! Between Hanukkah (the 11th) and Christmas I'm going nuts. I have over a thousand cards to get out for my firm, and there is just little old me. I got the Hanukkah presents (all but one) and now my boss wants me to get a newsletter out too. HELP! Joan

I'm trying to fight it! I only have 4 pair on hold right now - Clarks, Borns, EMU's and one pair of Liz Claiborne! The deal is when I bring a new pair home I have to get rid of one or two pair.

Happy December. LOL. I am all too familar with that feeling. And actually I may still be asleep since they are talking SNOW for later in the week here? HELLO? 1st week of December Texas gulf coast and snow? Has to be a dream. Hope you're having a great day so far!

Made it back on Monday evening safe and sound and had a great time. We went up to Indianapolis to the speedway and got lucky they were doing a grounds tour and we got to see lots of neat stuff and I got to pretend to "kiss" the bricks and yes there is a picture. December should be a busy and interesting month we just did a restructure at work and not sure how it will work out. Have a good December

Thanks! You probably couldn't sleep because you were just so excited to get back to work today. I hope you are able to sleep tonight. I'm already ready for December to be over.

Hi Sarah - OMG that many? I thought I was bad - We have 3 attys. myself and Ronnie. I have cards for them and me, and then we have an organization in Cali and we do their cards also. We sign them by hand, and I do labels. They want me to ut the envelopes in the printer, but they get jammed, so I think this year I'll do labels,. Health? I don't know - still having minor problems, nothing like between April and July, but I've had so many tets and all normal, it makes me sick thinking why can't they find out what is wrong. I'm totally done, insurance is out as of end of this month and have to use my medicare card, so I'm not sure what will get paid and what won't - I just got a bill (on my last ins.) for $200 for bloodwork done in July and another $45 co-pay for the stress test. I have not totalled it all up, but I spent enough in co-pays, etc. in 2009 to pay for a Bahamas vacation. Joan

doing ok, a friend is attempting to fix my computer so I don't have internet unless I go to a friends house. Looking forward to Christmas and also mid January.

I am sooooo confused. I think the weather is too. The high for tomorrow is supposed to be 43 around midnight and falling into the 20's? Under freeze warnings, winter weather advisories and SNOW is actually listed in the forecast. And talk of accumulation even along the beaches. This just does not compute. It wouldn't be so bad if didn't have to work tomorrow. Have a good evening.

LOL. I drove to work in a wintry mix, rain, sleet and big wet snow flakes. And now they are talking accumulations? It must be a blonde thing cause I am so CONFUSED. and you've got temps in the 60's? I think I need coffee

I wear a size 7 if that works. Oh hell and damnation it is snowing and is supposed to accumulate!

Good Morning Sunshine!! Just finished shoveling out the driveway! We got about 2 inches of the heavy, wet, crap!!!1 Looks real puttty with the sun on it, HOWEVER, it can go now!!! Just changed the avitar yesterday morning early, but not as early as YOU call early!! Hope you are well and having a great weekend!!! Love ya, off to work we go!!!

it has been crazy busy at work, non stop but i'm so thankful that terie and alex were able to go out and enjoy the victory lap for the NASCAR championship and get our poker chip and then enjoy the SCORE banquet! it's been a fun week! hope all is well!

Hi Sarah - I'm going Bonkers - now they want a newsletter 4 pages to go out and I just got the 1st proof today and of course - there are changes - and it's to invite people in Cali to a party on Mon. 12/14/09 AHHHHHH! The lalbels are ready, but I have to wait for a 2nd proof and then the 200 newsletters. These people are insane thinking I can get it all done by this Friday. Joan

aaahh christmas.....my world has been so crazy busy the past few months and I won't have any family here (except for my 21 year old) so I am not decorating and will probably just have some nice evenings leading up to the day, with some friends. i plan on taking the whole week off and am hoping that i can manage to take time off from both jobs and have a few days of much needed rest! say hi to chad and susan and hope all is well! take care!!

PS: it is freezin here! so friggin cold and had a rain storm too! is it summer yet! i'm so ready!! LOL

Ya, we have the same type of warning for here on Wednesday, with the possibility of more snow BEFORE it changes over to rain! Sounds like a real mess!! Glad I will be in the Mall working that day instead of driving around! At least your weather will get back to normal before ours does! Take care! Love ya

....i need some much need 'veggin' time on the couch too! and, i swear, i think our temps are like yours, it is sooo cold here! today is a very blue sky day though...........i don't ski but it would be a great day for it, i am much more the hot toddy drink sitting in the lounge in front of the fireplace type of girl!!!

ah back to more seasonable weather today. Is supposed to hit 70. It did snow on Friday, but by the time I made it home there was none left on the ground. But it was cool watching from 20 floors up. We've been stuck in prepetual drizzle/rain and fog ever since. Hopefully you are staying out of the mess in your bowl. Hope you're having a great day!

Being from Montana and spending many years in northern Maine, I know that this is not cold. The WA desert never gets that cold. This morning it is -6. Monday the high was about 20 with 25 mph winds. When you are working outside that chills to the bones.

"Insidious iconoclasts".....that's us. hee hee

Good Morning. Now get some sleep. Have a good day. Talk to you soon

Very funny! I fear the "brief" winter weather you got has really put a damper on your ability to sleep as normal people are! It appears that it has affected others as well!! Either way, I doubt very much that this ol Mouse will be around at that time of the morning, unless it is to go to the races or hunting, and getting doubtful on the latter!!! Take care and have a great weekend ahead! Love ya

Thanks. Your only as old as you look. Er..never mind. I just looked at myself in the mirror.

Wow, long time since I've had the time to chat. Sorry about that. Hope things are going well with you. Happy Holidays.

HUGS sweetie...................just been busy......... did NOT 4get my friends! Hope all is well w/?

CRAZY WOMEN, JUST CRAZY!!!! And I rarely sleep on my back! Love ya

Hello. Thanks for stopping by. Things seem to have gone quiet around here, I suppose they will pick up in a coupld of weeks. I'm trying to stay warm, but Jerry keeps insisting that I go to work, so I suck it up and trudge out in this crap each morning. How are you doing?

Snow is here to stay unfortunately! A little warmer today - 30's and maybe 40's tomorrow! a real heat wave!

Yeah, I made it to work. Spent Friday evening hanging around the store with the boys then went into a blue funk Saturday and didn't leave the house. Dang phone has all the fun.

Hey Sarah - did you see that when the unveiled the car of Danica Patrick for Jr. Motorshports it was the #7. I am sure Robby is running the 7 next year, I wonder what gives. Joan

I took the day off yesterday for my annual Christmas shopping trip to Paducah (with sister along). Had to stop on the way back and surprise my favorite boy toy. hee hee

Good Morning my Love!!! NO, the cat hasn't gotten to the Mouse's tongue! Hope all is well your way?? We have very cold and windy weather here right now! The furnace is running full tilt!! We have been working crazy hours at the mall, as well as fitting Lux in where I can! We have also started a new business, which is getting off to a good start!! Other than that, the xmas tree is in your upstairs bedroom, but not decorated just yet! We just started shopping and nothing else is ready for the Holidays!! Path just got a new laptop last night, but I will let her give you more details on that! Stay warm, and I will try to pop in soon! Love ya

She doesn't know the details. EMAIL to follow.

No woman has made it in NASCAR - They ran Tina Gordon off the track every week, I think they will do that to Danica too. I guess Danica is an OK driver, but her stats are not that impressive. Change of subject I felt bad the lighting was so poor on the SCORE trophy awards, you could not see Robby's face very well. I am so glad he won that Championship. Joan

It's nice to see my team win for a change this year. They haven't been getting many points so far. But the Caps are doing great. I am woried about their goaltending though. But other than that I think this is their year. Caps vs Hawks in the final is my prediction.
Hope everything is going well for you. Everythings fine here. I've been busy with work and the holidays lately but that should slow down after the new year.
If i don't talk to you for a couple of weeks again have a Very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year.

Hello Babe!!! By the sounds of what I read and saw on the weather report, you better keep your fingers and toes crossed! Looks like you're gonna get wacked good with snow! I could always send you a well used snow shovel?? Hope you don't need it at all!! I am fighting off a "bug" right now, sooo, I am headed off to la-la land! Take care! Love ya

TY!! my girls are growing fast!! Ready for christmas??? I THINK I am!! LOL! My cookie baking is done and I wrapped a TON of gifts today! maybe just a FEW last minute details will pop up! 25 comin' for Xmas/ aat least all bring a dish! hehehhehehehe!! hugs my friend!

Yes, a new laptop! I need technical help, either that or I'm going to visit the Geek Squad! Did you get buried in snow! I hear DC got a bunch!

Did I mention my favorite store now stocks EVERY Java Monster flavor? Thanks to meeeeeeeee!

Hi - As you know we got burried in snow over the weekend. 24" in my area. I am not dug out yet, I did buy those magnetic shields that protect the windshield & back, they were a god send in cleaning off the car, but the snow plow pushed about 2ft of snow on top of the 2 feet already there against my drivers side. It took over an hour just to ge the door open. My daugheter and I tried our best, but just could not get it all done. I took the bus to work, the hard part was getting from the sidewalk to the street over the 2' mounds. They are promisng rain & 40 deg. on Friday, I hope the forecast doesn't change. Rain would get the white stuff out of here. Chg. subject-you are so fortunate to have met so many drivers. At Pocono, you cannot get near them at all. Robby cancelled his appearance when we were there, so I didn't get to meet him either. Maybe one of these days. I hope he stays safe at Dakar. Joan

do you ever get to a point where you think, geez, i don't think i can eat anymore!? i am almost there! clearly my new years resolution will be to lose all the weight i have gained from the past few months......ugh.......hope you are having a great weekend!

MOUSIE??? WOW!!!!!!! Guess I better get back to my posting and get back to chatting or other names may appear?? Hope all is well with you?? Sounds like your "bowl" protected you once again! We got lucky as well, as it stayed extremely cold and windy here! We got just about a quarter of an inch of snow, and that is just fine with me! Sooooo, you need NOT box any for shipment here! Please share that idea with someone else!!!! This is the last week of the "craziness", soooooo, hopefully I will be able to get into chat again soon! Miss all of you! If I don't get there before the end of the week, have a Merry Christmas!!!! Just know that you are in my thoughts always! Take care, Love you

Just thought I would stop by to say hello and see if you are ready for Christmas. I finally got all my shopping done, now I need to get everything wrapped. I hope you didn't get buried by that storm that came through, we only got enough to make the roads slushy. I hope you have a Merry Christmas! TTYL!

Is that unusual for you to get that much snow? TOG said they got 20 inches and was having fun running a 4X4 in an unplowed parking lot. I really don't want that much snow, but I bet he was having a great time and I am so jealous. I've got most of the wrapping done, just 4 more to go. The only hold up is finding a box for one of them. I have one just a bit small and several too big. So, I'm ignoring the problem for the rest of the night.

Hello Sarah. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. The story behind the picture is that I used to let my friend draw on my face for no apparent reason just because she wanted to and she stopped doing it because I had a beard growing. She was a little sad one day and wasn't digging the beard, so I told her if I shaved it she could draw the face on me and make me look like a total loser in front of my friends. Its just something to make her happy and remind us of old times.

You too! All the best!
I'll do anything to bring a smile to other peoples faces even if it makes me look silly.

2.29 all day every day versus 2.99 here. Not too shabby.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas. I am in PA but up in Northwest PA and won't be back till late on Sunday evening so will have to pass on the Dog. Hope Susan is doing well. Hopefully once the New Year starts will be able to get back into the swing of things. Enjoy your day!

Merry Christmas Terie!!! So far so good on the Christmas day. I'm not at home and it is a good thing as they had an 'icing' event there. No one can travel as it is about 1/2 inch thick. Hope your Christmas was wonderful!

All things considered, it didn't go too badly. Would have been better if I hadn't come down with a terrible head cold yesterday. Had to escape to Hazel for a big cup of hot chocolate (compliments of my favorite storekeepers) and to lose money on lottery tickets. *sigh*
