He kept me up late and I got him up early...

How long did it take, after that, before you let him out of bed?

[Loey]

Only a bow tie? No wonder you didn't get dinner.

PLEASE keep the spice going for us old married pfolks. I love it!!! Details, Details, and more Details please!!!!!

BTW, been offline because Clark got even sicker. I've had to sleep in Tony's room because he sounds like Darth Vader. I He actually took two sick days and he usually only calls out when I need him. But after all he does for me he deserves a lot of TLC. Phone rang at 6:30 AM this morning. It was our son wanting to be picked up earlier today. He was staying until his BF ( a girl) left and evidently the airport isn't letting anyone without a boarding pass hang around. He was able to wait with her for Thanksgiving. I guess they're upping the security.

I passed. Too much to do to be excited.

Yay and congrats!!!!!

I only have a coupla days. Nathan and his wife are driving up from Texas. They'll be here tomorrow. We'll have Christmas this Sunday. Guess I oughta put up the tree

From here they drive to Michigan to see her family.

Hope you all have a wonderful time with your families. We'll eventually see Clark's cousins but not for Christmas. We saw my brother and SIL 2 weeks ago. We have a tiny family. Clark and I are placing bets on when we'll be ready for Tony to go back to school. As I mentioned the other day he has 6 weeks off. He's supposed to go visit pfriends back home for a week. I spent more on pfood yesterday than I have for a month and it won't last. I'm sure he's not looking forward to eating gluten-free.

OK, time to wrap the last presents before they get home. We postponed our company until tomorrow so I'll be offline til Monday.

I'll miss my psilly pfamily!

_{I'm still a little sore}

How do I know this, you ask? :D

Damn life is good.

[Loey]

So if you're congratulated for finishing, then you never really stop being congratulated, right?............

I sooooo have not done any Christmas cards. Was planning on it. Maybe I'll take them with me tonight to work on in the car. That'll take my eyes off the road while hub's driving over the pass..... Maybe I'll be sitting in the back seat. 10 to 1, I'll be the one driving

I've gotten this damn cold that's going around here, but I swear I'm skiing tomorrow, snot bubbles and all!!

I need to take learn to be more like you..... Was thinking about trying this weekend, but found out the 'toe cleavage guy' from last year is putting us all up in condos-3 couples per condo.... I'm soooo not the swinging type! Well, not with these people anyways...........

Got the same cold. Clark gave it to me as an early Xmas present. Enjoy the skiing. You're not the type to let a cold keep you down!

Went to my Brother and SIL's house for their winter solstice bonfire. When I went in, a bunch of the dishes of food had little 'gluten free' signs on them.

Your party was wilder than mine. I spent a lot of time sitting on the floor, petting the host's old sick Golden. Told the host ( one of hubs bosses) that I like dogs better than people.

He laughed and said he did, too.

You walkin' more comfortably this evening?

That is awesome and so considerate. Which brings me to a question I was going to post. We were invited to a New Year's Eve party in our neighborhood (a woman in my painting class lives up the block in our development). Everyone brings an appetizer. I figured a vegetable or fruit platter would be the safest as I could recognize it. Any other suggestions? Clark and I usually spend New Year's home with Tony but this will be a good way for us to meet our neighbors.

The couple next door to us that we really like will be there. The family on the other side is the the one with 7 kids and not really friendly. They're away for two weeks so they won't be at the party. I tried reaching to to the wife when we first moved here (she was pregnant with their 7th child) but she was weird so after the 7th call I stopped trying. I still gave them a present when she had the baby and made special Halloween bags with toys for her children.

BTW, dinner went well with Rob's friend from work and his wife. We really hit it off so I'm beginning to feel less isolated. He filled me in on some of the things he hs to avoid in his diet (at least he did for two years). My diet is going to be even more limited but I want to get well. I also know that, unlike him, I'll always have t remain gluten-free (he never had to ). He told me that the doctor I'm seeing will spend an hour (or however long I need) with me and will be willing to try anything that I might come across even if he's never heard of it. I wish I had gone to him when we first moved here.

Off to fold laundry (it seems to grow like weeds) and then my little girl will be here for tutoring.

Hugs,

Loey

Bring whatever you want to the party but don't expect to eat it. Once the crackers and bread are being eaten, the crumbs will be in your carrot sticks and dip ( or whatever). I just went to a party where I got a drink, then stayed in one of the other parts of the party away from the food. It helped that we ate at PF Changs before and had the chocolate dome dessert!

Yep--Make yourself a small container of veggies and dip while you're putting together the platter.....maybe a baggie of gluten-free crackers and/or Lay's Stax too. Carry a bag that will accommodate your snacks, grab a drink, and have a great time

Hope Clark is feeling all better

Thanks to both replies. I figured I would eat before the party. Keeping a snack in a ziplock bag is a great idea. Clark will be in heaven eating all the gluten he wants. The last New Year's Eve party we went to was the year of Y2K so I was surprised when he said we should go. Evidently some people get rather dressed up for it. The woman throwing it is English. I might even buy myself a nice outfit for it.

Clark seems to be a little better but he used to bounce back immediately after getting sick (one day) and this is dragging on. I did sleep last night without his cough or Darth Vader breathing waking me up. He went into work today. He didn't want to take another day since Pfizer has a reputation for letting people go without you seeing it coming. He wants and needs to make a good impression. Luckily he's creating a software program that they're interested in. When they bought his former company (Wyeth) only 40 people were brought up here and they let more than 40 go at Pfizer.

Hugs to my psillies,

Loey

P.S. Tony took a break from his game long enough to shower (again) and belt out his songs. He wants to join Acapulco next year so he's practicing.

I think I get 'congratulated' again (I did fairly well on the math section).

[mushroom]

Can there be such a thing as too much congratulation? Nevertheless, I'll add mine.

[jerseyangel]

(I did fairly well on the math section).

Well then, I think more congratulations are in order

Have phun!
