Saturday night

Re: Saturday night

  • I thought about writing out my Christmas cards today, but didn't feel like it after running errands for my mom this afternoon.
  • Good evening! 

    1.Right now I'm cooking my rice for dinner and watching the Cowboys game.

    2. I don't do wine. But I think you should go for it. 

    3.Well, I just woke up from a pretty awesome nap. We got up early to help our friends move, then we went and looked at a couple of houses. We looked at a Fannie Mae house, the outside was so pretty. The inside? Not so much. That was disappointing.

  • I mailed the ones I had done already.  I had a bunch of other stuff to mail too.  I "stole" my grandpa's Christmas card list to send all his people letters about his birthday coming up in January.  I am collecting letters with memories from people to give him for his birthday.  We're aiming for 90 "memories" since he'll be 90 years old.
  • Hi Crash!  Naps are good.
  • Loopy, it seems like everyone in my family likes to fish except me. So I am used to just bringing along a book or magazine. But I enjoy it, getting out of the house and spending time with loved ones. I spend way too much time on the couch.
  • We didn't do Christmas cards. I feel like a slacker but I just couldn't get into the mood to get E dressed up and then take his picture and make it into a card I liked to send out. Or get photos made that I could put in cards.

  • Thanks ski!  My sister & her H live right up the road, but they are in NC this weekend visiting our other sister & her family this weekend, so it made sense for me to come home and help out (plus I don't really know how much she's actually helped out thus far).  Dad can get by doing the laundry by himself, but he is not a cook unless it involves the grill and it's too cold for him to go turn it on.  So I tried to come up with some things he could manage to do before I come back on Thursday. 
  • I totally agree with you on the homemade goodies Bree.  I would love to have an assortment but I don't want that many batches of cookies in my house.  
  • I love christmas cookies and naps!  Must admit, those are two of my favorite things!

    Loopy, that is such a neat idea.  I bet your grandpa will absolutely love it.  How thoughtful!
  • Loopy that's such a nice idea!  I'm sure he will love it!
  • Loopy-That's a cute idea for your Grandpa's birthday.

    Sesh- FI's family likes to fish too. Except we don't live near a lake. He had a cousin who used to live by one in the country. I would just go sit on the dock with them and hang out. But I did not fish.

  • I'm eating Christmas cookies that my SS sent me.

  • I always have dreams of writing meaningful personal notes in all of our cards, but by the time I sit down to do them they all end up pretty generic.  
  • I can't take too much credit for the idea.  I found it on Pinterest... The internet, what an inspiration :).
  • My goal is to start Christmas cards next year after we are married. My family never sent out cards so I never really thought about it.

    Vent: FI has a cold and is not as patient and kind as he usually is. I can understand that. I cannot understand the way he acts irritated if I bring up things to talk about or ask him a question. I just decided to come to the bedroom and watch TV in here. I don't like to be around men when they are sick. UGH!

  • I have some presents to ship to my friends for their kids (a small book for each one, but a total of 4 packages to mail), so I really need to do that asap.
  • For those of you that will hopefully be having babies soon. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/26/health/26child.html

  • We are taking a family xmas picture tomorrow, and then I need to finally mail my cards out tomorrow.  I also have a package to mail out to my mom and nieces too! 

    Never ending..........that is all I have!
  • Interesting C.  
  • That is interesting C. 

    I won't be having a baby in the next year probably, but I guess I didn't realize that you couldn't at least drink during labor. That's just crazy to me especially since some people are in labor for a long time.

  • Ciara. you got the rest of your package?! Did you like the cookies? Did they stay fresh and un-smushed? Not that I am revealing I am SS or anything.
  • LOL @ Shannyn... not revealing at all :).
  • I figured she would already know since there wasn't many people from CA entering, but I lost the tracking number and was worried about the package!
  • Thanks C - that is interesting.  You had a vag delivery with E right?

  • There are a couple smashed ones but most survived. They taste amazing. I was taunting my husband by making him smell the bag.

    Yep. They had told me that they were waiting until 6am to give me pitocin and after that I wouldn't be able to eat. Well we didn't get that far as E was born before 4:30am. I did have some ice chips during labor as that was all I really wanted.

  • Good Ciara! They are just cake batter cookies, nothing fancy :) I am glad you liked them though. I may have had one or two just to taste test them!
  • I also knew it was you Shan because the cookie cutters said they were billed to you.

    <div>I went in at 6:00a.m. and  didn't deliver until 12:15a.m. It was a very long time. I was starving and when I was finally able to eat I couldn't keep anything down. It was rough.</div><div>
    </div><div>That was definitely an interesting read, Ciara. </div>

  • Now I really want some cookies. Those sound delicious.
