What up E peoples?

As much as I am normally self-suffient, I draw the line at power tools.  I'll just draw the circles and H can cut them out when he gets home  I'm sure he'll be thrilled.

Andy how old are the people getting them?  If it's young kids you definitely should wrap them or at least put them in a gift bag.  The opening of the gift is the best part.  I would leave them in the original packaging though if you can.

Yeah, I was wondering if they are too big for normal wrapping paper.

Good mother of god it took me 4 hours to get home tonight.  I live 3.5 miles from where I work.  Yeah.

Sorry, I'm joining the party late. My day was alright. I stayed home from work to study for my Biology final. I just got home from taking said final. I did alright, not too confident I got an A or not even a B but I think I'll pass the class at least.

I'm just getting over a cold and have been coughing alot so my chest has been hurting for about a week. It doesn't feel very good.

My parent's made some orange chicken and white rice for dinner.

If I was an animal, based on my personality...I think I'd be a cat. I love just lounging around and sleeping. Have people do things for me and I only warm up to people on my terms.

I vote for the big wrapping paper bags as well. You can put the bed bags in them and then tie a big bow at the top. You could TRY to wrap them the old school way, but it might turn out pretty interesting.

WTF?  Snowstorm?  Accident?  That sucks. I would have run out of gas.

Over a foot of lake effect snow that wasn't supposed to happen.....

They are 15, 10 and 6 - I agree I think I should wrap them.  Its for a family we adopted so I don't know anything about them.  But I think everybody likes unwrapping presents!

I'm thinking I should get them each books but I don't know what reading level they are at.  They seriously asked for the MOST practical stuff (like blankets, socks, uniform clothes, pjs) and the mom just wanted pots and pans and a grocery card.

I think it's really sweet that you're doing that andy!

that sucks.  We're supposed to get 10+ inches Saturday.  Great.

Beachy730

Awww Andy that's so nice of you.  

andy71781

thanks!  its fun.  I'm just thankful that we both have good jobs and extra money to be able to do it. 

anyways....man I want some snow!  how come we are only going to get 3 inches?

Beachy730

I'm so happy to not have any here.  I know they are getting bombarded with snow in Buffalo so I will have more than enough while I'm there to last me all year.  I just hope I can get in and take off okay with my flights.

kcscejal

I'm glad we haven't gotten any snow yet.  I like snow the day it snows.  I hate when it gets all slushy and gross and brown, especially when I have to walk through parking lots.

andy71781

I just want to be able to take my new skiis out. 

kellyjellybelly

I hate snow.  Hate.

tidetravel

Ya'll can keep the snow after last year's stupidmegabitchblizzard that we had here.

kcscejal

Tide, Taryn is so cute!

[Deleted User]

Tide, she is adorable. I can't believe how big she is getting. I hope our kids have dark hair & eyes like that.

tidetravel

Thanks guys!  I can't believe she'll be 1 tomorrow!

Beachy730

Tide that picture is sooo adorable!

kellyjellybelly

Yay I got one hole cut.  No, I have not been working on that the whole time.  Noir went inside to check it out - should be a nice little home for Word once it get some straw and insulation!

Beachy730

Yay!  What ended up working?

kellyjellybelly

Patience and a heavy kitchen scissor.  Have to do the other one still.

Beachy730

Are you going to post pics after?

<div>I am now scared.  I have a 30 mile drive home starting in 45 minutes.  But I'm not going into downtown.  It snowed all morning by my house, but stopped around noon and the roads were FINE when I left for work at 2:15, even 480, and the 480-bridge.  Should I be scared? </div>

kellyjellybelly

haha sure, it won't be pretty though.  I'm going to have my dad help me build a nice one next summer.

Loopyseven

ditto on the Taryn cuteness .
