Bevel, Bevel, you ARE me surely?? (with 2 more presents than I)

Amateurs! I have nowt......and have no desire to shop. Before a few weeks ago, I thought there wouldn't be any money......'twas an easy out, actually.

I have nothing against shopping, per se.........just the pressures of Christmas.

.....and who wants to leave the comforts of home to battle the crowds and traffic when it's freezing outside??????.......maybe I should move in with Neroli

But with grown kids, money works

I love me mother-in-law. She lives about 20 minutes away, but rarely comes to my house. She thinks her son is lucky to have me

I want a heated bed!.....I wouldn't leave either!....._{fighting the urge to hibernate, already}

[jerseyangel]

Mornin' all

Matt's computer is acting s-l-o-w this AM, I've already rebooted it once. We're doing well sharing his tiny (and I mean wee) kitchen. Actually, he's more than happy to let me completely take over all duties within

I've been waiting 8 months to get me hands on this house--as ya'll may remember, we moved him in and had to move ourselves 5 days later. I'm doing some painting, lots of cleaning, and we're gonna work a little on the front yard this weekend. It's supposed to be cold but sunny, so we'll see.

JP (older son) took us to Changs Saturday night--the waiter was so savvy about Celiac/food allergies. It was great.....and the 2 hour wait fer a table left room for much drinking before dinner A good time was had by all

Jess--I think you could use a heated kitty bed about now Are you up studying?

But with grown kids, money works

True dat--mine prefer it

I love me mother-in-law.

My MIL is great. She just turned 90 and is still independent--living in the same house she and her husband bought right after they were married. I wouldn't mind at all if she lived nearby--in fact, we've told her she's welcome to move in wif us if she wants. She's just not ready to do that yet.

I want a heated bed!.....I wouldn't leave either!

Yeah, me too! However, I've heard from many sources throughout life that this is essentially what husbands are for.... . . ..and I DO have one o' those... .. ..but a heated bed...just sounds so... ....cozy. . .........

Ah, the Christmas consumer push. A number of years ago, my extended family cut WAY back. I buy for our two kids and DH, something for me mom and we usually contribute to MIL's flight cost, and that is usually it. My siblings and I long decided that what is so paramount is for us to all be together, as much as possible, over Christmas -- this is the real gift that we give to one another. Sounds so sappy, but 'tis true... . . .I want and need nothing, just to be with my family.

My family.. ... .... . ...and my MIL. . . . ... ........... ..

[celiac-mommy]

There are so many of us in our family with aunties, uncles, and cousins-and now everyone is gettin serious boyfriends/girlfriends/fiances, that there are too many peeps to buy for that we draw names 2 months before Christmas and we have a cap on how much you can spend. It makes it sooooo much easier. I give my kids "the talk" in November about what Christmas is really about and not to plan on a lot of gifts (that is until the MIL goes against our wishes and sends a pallet-YES A PALLET of presents for them ) We spend Christmas Eve and day eating as much as we possibly can, getting plowed and giggly and talking, singing and being just plain jolly! I LURVE Christmas!!!

Where did you get the pink gloves?

Bought Lyle a new heated kitty bed.

Hmmmmm . . . interesting . . . <stroking chin> . . . you wouldn't happen to know if this comes in a size big enough for a person lion would you?

That was really cool, Rachelle.

Also loved that "duet" somebody posted (Jess?)

[Jestgar]

It's not exactly big enough for Lyle. He's either tightly curled, or has body parts draped over the edge. You could choose which part of the lion to warm.

I think it was on GMA too, admin emailed us all a link to Charlie Gibson talking about it on the nightly news. We're both right

Just a quick poop-in after a couple of computer abyss days (t'is the season apparently). After much technical to and fro, a visit from the TelCo, much frustration, turns out *someone" screwed up the payments (no, not moi); cancelled the credit card charge but forgot to set up the automatic debit back in June So they sent us an email telling us about it the day after they cut us off (our ISP is a real genius company, about as genius as dh)

Loved the pink gloves!! Rayshelle--no more pickles, unless you really want them

Lion Lyle will nevah get out of that heated bed unlessen you turn it off!! Well, maybe for food....

Have a respiratory infection; thought I had fought it off but with no immune system, I am heading for the doc tomorra to see if I can avoid antibiotics Feel like s.h.i.t. Third Christmas season in a row I've been unwell. It's getting old. Sent dh off to the Probus Christmas lunch today by himself (well, not really, he's picking up a new member whom I had promised a ride--I've never met her but I told him she was gorgeous. Hope it's not so )

reaching incoherent babbling stage. Slept in til 5:15 today. Having Pamela's cookies for breakfast.

Director and music director have made up after their on-stage screaming match yesterday. Costume designer and director have gotten over their screaming match. No one dissolved into tears from their apron falling off (OK, the aprons are pinned on now). How do I always forget this part of working with actors?

Good Morning, Psillies!

A bit long, but quite an amusing, truly Canadian piece as we gear up to mail off our Christmas cards.......

Speaking of which! Guys, the recession has geared things down for us considerably this year, and we're cutting all fat. So, we are not sending out Christmas cards this year, and I'm quite sad that I won't be connecting with all the Psills like we did last year.

Guess it'll be a big group email this time. . . ....hafta try and make it spectacular!
