Good Morning

Hi everyone I've been up and about since 6am.I tried to do the mall shopping yesterday and forget that it took me 20min just to park,so me and my boyfriend hit the stores by 7.I feel better now that I got some stuff done.How is everyone?Has anyone heard from britany?I'm worried about her well I'll be around and I hope everyone has a nice day.I'm just waiting for the snow to start in NY,,,,,mj
Hey Molly,
Doing the snow watch too.......lol
Hope you are fine this morning, hows the tapering going?
Making breakfast, planning the day, rushing, rushing and more rushing......
Hope to hit the couch by one and watch some football games....
Take care,
Tina
Hi misty I am pretty proud of myself with tapering,I'm down to 10 and keeping fingers crossed I'll keep working.I know this is going to be a fight for the rest of my life but he-- I've been through so much already I'll be damned if I l'll let a little pill claim my soul!!!Yes I'm waiting for the snow Ill be doing the football thing later too.Everyone I love is near me so I don't have to worry about my family being out in it I can just enjoy it.If I can after it starts I'll probaly take my little one on a walk in it......mj
Hey MJ -- up at 6, to the malls by 7, home by 9? Man, you put the rest of us to shame this Sunday morning. lol. Later on, I also have to venture into the wilderness that is called mall shopping at Christmas time. Not looking forward to the mass of humanity, but my son and I usually have a pretty good time anyway.

Misty -- are you a Giants fan? If so, they almost pulled it off yesterday....I'd almost have been upset if I wasn't a 'Skins fan. lol M.
Hi None I guess I give women a bad name because I really really don't like shopping I'd rather take a hike in the woods or sit down by the river.Once a tomboy always a tomboy,,,,mj
Good Morning MJ,

You are brave to hit the malls on a weekend. I know for most they don't have a choice because they work all week. I'm going tomorrow while everyone is at work.

Love,
Liz
Liz are you almost done with your shopping.I'm going to try something alittle different this year.Yes there is stuff for under the tree but I want to take my daughters,one at a time out after Christmas like a date and spend a day shopping and letting them pick stuff.Isn't it funny how the next day after Christmas you can find something for 30$ when the day before it was 70$ weird huh?...mj
Good morning MJ and Liz -

How is everyone today??? Molly - I'm jealouus that you got out and finished so fast - how come I cant do that???? You sound like youre doing real good. Keep it up girl.

Hey Liz - I emailed you last night, sure you got it - I got yours - thanks again for EVERYTHING. You have turned out to be such a WONDERFUL friend to me. You deserve all the best Liz. You've worked so hard and have gained the respect of so many, including myself. I admire you a great deal, honey. Do you get to have your kids for Christmas, or how do you guys work that out??
Have a great day. I'll email you again later.

Love ya,
Marie
xxoxo
Molly...... I am glad to here that you are sticking with your plan.......about time to go to 9....I know you can.....Now you have to know it, but no matter what I have enough faith in you to know you can beat this!

None........them there is fighting words from where I am from.......Don't know many people from South Jersey who like the Giants..... mostly Eagles fans. I am about 10 min max from The Link. Yes I saw the the Skins won.....was very happy and will admit to my friends who love the Eagles that I like the Skins......
MJ, that is a fantastic idea. No, I have a lot of shopping to do yet. I know I only have this week to get it done. I will.lol. I have the presents under the tree. As I get them , I wrap them and put them under the tree. I have 2 cats that keep running over them. I hope they last until Christmas. lol My tree didn't. It looks like hell.

Love,
Liz
Hey Marie,
Saw you popped in. How you doing girl, hope all is well......
Take care,
Tina




Hey Marie thank you I don't think I would of made it this far without all of you.I gave myself the best present in the world when I came to this site.I came looking for help and ended up making alot of new dear friends.I only hope I can give back what all have given to me....mj
Molly,

Sweetie, you just gave back so much.......you put a big smile on my face!!!! Thanks so much and have a truly blessed Sunday.

Love ya,
Marie
I have 3 kittys my other babies and the youngest is always snatching stuff off mine plus its a real one so they get alittle crazy at nite we can hear them chasing each other around it.As for my idea I hope it works out I know my girls love having me all to themselves so it should be a nice time.I wish I could do more for them but they are really sweet and understanding I am so very lucky.As for the 9 yes I think I may be ready but the chicken in me is telling me to wait until after next Saturday.At least I admit I'm a chicken......mj
Hi Marie,

Thank you so much for everything. Yeah, I get them Christmas morning until Sunday night at 8pm. Then I get them again Weds night until Sunday night at 8 pm. So, I'm going to have some time to enjoy them. I'm looking forward to it. Pretty weird though, even at that the same of looking forward to it, I can't help but think how fast the time will go and it gets me a little down too. Weird huh? lol. Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend. I have them here now. I'm going to spend some time with them.

Love,
Liz
Hi Tina -

Everything is going pretty good - thanks for asking (we'll just leave my back pain out of this LOL). I'm STILL not finished Christmas shopping - but love to ride around with the kids (we did last night) and check out some of the awesome decorations that some people put up. Some neighbors around me REALLY go ALL OUT - with Santa climbing up un the roof, Those gigantic "blow up" or "inflated" Santas and Snowmen. Just unreal, the time they take to do all of this. It is soooo beautiful. My grandaughter, Kylee - OMG she absolutely LOVES the lights.

So how's your day going so far. And how is that hubby of yours doing?? Is he on his best behavior? :o) Tell him he better be, or we're telling Santa LOL

Love you girl,
Marie
Marie we do the same thing.....driving and looking at all the lights. Tomorrow I am hoping there will be some snow and them we can walk the neighborhood and look with the baby. That would be really beautiful! I go all out....although I have nothing on the roof......
The hubby is doing really good. Don't think he has sat at all since Friday....Went to a hockey game (AA) with my daughter Friday after work....... yesterday parties......Today he is planning on doing the mall.....better him than me. Yesterday, we just passed by the mall and there was not one parking space to be had....
Laundry must be flipped.....I'm off for now
Take care.....and have a great day!
Tina
