Goos morning...and where are all the beaners??? Yummy pot of coffee going...shall I pour for you??
I got my tree up and decorated yesterday, it is so pretty! My body is very sore from all of the activity though...I ended up having to saw the trunk off because my husband pulled a ligament in his shoulder...
I hope everyone has a good day...I have to get my clothes washed today and plan on taking it easy other than that. My last shot is tomorrow morning...yippee...I don't think they are helping that much...
Hey Janet:
Dark roast, half and half for me!
Those shots are not going to work if you are sawing trees! LOL
Sure your husband pulled a ligament! hahaha, just kidding!
I haven't done one decoration. Pitiful, huh? Maybe today I will get inspired to feel a little holiday cheer.
I posted on your other thread, my husband and I went on a date last night to see Apocalypto. Wow! I thought it was a great flick.

Hey Jane:
Thanks for the good wishes!
See, that is what I am talking about...I am thinking the decorations won't help with the spirit either....so why bother???
Kind of a defeatist attitude, isn't it?
Oh well, I think I will try to get into it at least!
It is my first Chrsitmas without my Dad too, so, I guess I have a little room for the blues. Don't want to dwell though.
Good posting with ya girl.....here's to the spirit!

Morning Sarah and Jane! Yeah, hubby really did get hurt...I took him out to lunch last Tuesday and he had taken a pain pill and was loopy out of his head...no tolerance at all...one of the lucky ones that never even take a Tylenol without being forced. Ah, I wish I was like that.
I haven't been out to the movies in quite a while. Last movie I saw was the Lake house, last year. I told my hubby that it is a good thing we don't go out, most weekends we can watch a movie that we haven't seen yet on TV...we are very cheap dates..lol
Gotta stoke the fire, I'll be back in a little while.

First Christmas without my kids. They will be with thier dad. So I hear ya about the blues. It's tuff without the things that make it important in the first place. I have toyed with volutneering some place. I really have no reason to get up Christmas morning so I am up for suggestions. What about you? What is your ideas to fill the void of your dad? Keep up with the decorations. I even put on some Christmas music it helped but didn't stick. I guess I will fake it til I make it. More tunes today. No more decorating though I have Santa's and ponsetias everywhere you look in here.
That's too funny Janet I watched that last night. Something about Keanu Reeves that just doesn't sit right with me. Not my favorite actor. Kinda cute show. But I am glad I just rented and not bought. LOL about your hubby how would it be? I will never know. There was no such thing as too much. Even if I was nodding off....Oh that fire sounds nice. I can almost see it I am going to light a candle. You still smoke free?
Love,
Jane

Jane:
I am sorry about your kids. I know that must be rough. My husband is from a family with divorced parents. Somehow, they managed to be together at Christmas and Thanksgibing. I mean, they are both remarried...and somehow, all those exes and currents and their family and well just about anybody who wandered in have all wadded up together year after year to celebrate holidays.
It is very strange, but makes it easier on the children...who are now adults. So now it is making it easier on the grandchildren.
BUT...you mentioned volunteering somewhere. I remember in 1990 when I was going though a divorce....sad, sad, girl. Anyway, I had just moved back to my hometown...and HATED Christmas that year. I went and worked Christmas Day in the Soup Line here in town. OMG...it was the best Christmas I have ever had.
Talk about quickly getting in touch with your gratitude. Talk about humbling yourself. That was one of those pivotal moments in my path.
You know what Jane? I think I am going to find out about that again tomorrow. That might be just the thing I need to do this year. My husband and I bought for some chidren in CASA...but there is nothing like real contact...face to face.
I felt so much better about life after that Christmas...for a long time.
Thanks for that!

'morning all...cup of tea pls...big one. I hear you about the no kids on Christmas thing...I don't get mine until the late afternoon..usually i'm alone. What a beautiful morning it is today. Think I'll go out for a walk
hugs to all
Heath
hugs to all
Heath
Still no cigs...I think I'm on 46 days, maybe a few more. I still have urges...cravings...like this morning I woke up and thought, "I gotta have a cig"...they pass quickly and I forget. I've been treating myself with little things, like flavored coffee and I bought a bag of Dove dark chocolate, but that's gone. This mornings treat is Folgers Chocolate Truffle...
If I didn't have family Christmas, I think I would volunteer my time at a rehab center, or something like that...maybe a meeting? I'm certain you will find something rewarding to do Jane.
Goos morning Heath! Cuppa tea coming right up!

I'm going to consider doing that. I have so much to be grateful for and yet since I don't have a BF or husband lately that is what I have been concentrating on. That is not right. It is beautiful out there Heath and tea sounds delicious. I have been drinking chamomile tea at night mmmm..that is good stuff. It is really quite warm out today it was yesterday too I did some outside clean up I thought it was going to snow. Well I am going to go get in the shower and try to wash some negative ions off of my body. I may go to the noon meeting out here you should see it it's packed full of good people with good ideas. I guess I will realize not all Christmas's will be good ones and pray for acceptance of that idea. Not expectations usually leads to a decent day. Have a good one all.
***edited to say Congrats Janet you are so cool I am jelous. One of these days....
