Hey Rae!
How are you??? I am missing you! I have been around here a little lately...indulging in posting. I have missed seeing your posts.
What is going on with you??? CHRISTMAS????
Sarah
Hey Sarah,
Thanks for asking about me. I am doing okay. I have a real bad sore throat today and I am not feeling so great. My youngest daughter had a high fever all day yesturday, so it's going around.
I will survive it. I just took my Vitamins and a Amoxicillin. I need to go work out and get my energy level back up but I think I will wait until tomorrow. I need a day of rest.
I still have SO much Christmas Shopping to get done. Spent about 200 bucks last night at Walmart. That place is insane. LOL Gotta love the holiday's.
I still want to get one of those stoves, microwave kitchen sets for my 2 year. I got my 8 year old a pair of Heeley's. Those are the new shoes that have wheels on the back of them. Well you have the option for the wheel to be in or out. That is what he really wanted. My oldest daughter wants clothes and a new cell phone. I swear these kids are expensive. LOL
So what are your plans for Christmas? How have you been? Going to school? Still smoking? Riding your bike? LOL

Hey! I love those heelies...they are so cool! My husband and I rollerblade sometimes...and he loves those shoes! I said...NO!!! (lmao).
Well, I was doing great with the not smoking, and then my very close friend got ill...the whole first third of November I spent multiple hours in the hospital with him...and I started smoking again...it was very intense, and he passed away on Nov. 22....the day before his birthday.
So, I have begun to taper again...and Monday, I am starting back on the Chantix. I was making it before, so I feel I can do it this time. God, I hope so. I just got weak...and scared. Sorry!
Wal-Mart: Holy Moly....I will pay someone to go for me if I have to go this time of year! lol....not really, i just avoid going! You know, you can order online from Wal-Mart. They will mail it to your door! I have been doing a lot of shopping online. I have a few things to buy, but I get out of school next Tuesday, so I have a few days to do the last minute stuff.
I have been so sad, I haven't even decorated anything. Today, I am skipping school...not really, I don't have classes, but I should be working in my studio...anyway, I am staying home and sprucing up a bit...got the stuff out of the attic...and I am going to decorate a little. We need some cheer around here. My husband and I are both devastated by this loss. (A whole community of people are).
Is the stuff you are getting for your 2 year old an Easy Bake??? Do they still make that??? lol...probably showing my age big time!
I had that sore throat thing right after my friend passed. I guess the emotion of it all just nailed my immune system. Anyway, I did a round of Zpack, got a celestone (steroid) shot and nasal spray....it took a few days, but I feel much better now. It definitely can come back on you though....so take it easy!

I am VERY sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. That is sad. I know it is little comfort but I believe he is with you in spirit. That you can still talk to him and he is still with you. I know it has to be hard for you, especially if you were there with him when he passed. My brother and sister ( we have the same dad) had a sister, they had the same mom. She was murdered a couple months ago by her abusive boyfriend. She left behind 2 children. She was a beautiful girl and my brother and sister are having a really hard time with her death. Which is understandable.
For Christmas I got them a couple picture frames. One is a 5x7 frame with their sister's picture in it. I am going to go to Things Remembered and have it engraved. I think I will put " In Loving Memory Of and then her name? I am still not sure what I want engraved on it. Any thoughts let me know. So I got them each one of those. Then another picture frame that says Family and I will put a pic of My sister, brother and I that we took together the other day.
This has been a pretty bad year for deaths. My ex father-in-law ( My 8 year old's grandfather passed away in June of this year. He was such a good man and he will be missed. Then a friend of the family was killed in a head on collision back in August of this year! She was 27 years old and was driving home when an 78 year old man hit her going 60 mph with no headlights on. She was a nurse in NICU. It was very sad. Then my brother and sister's older sister was in her late 20's when she was murdered. Just hasn't been a good year. I will be glad when it is over. Again I am sorry for your loss.
Your husband wants some Heeley's, huh? LOL I don't blame you for saying " NO". LOL
The thing I want to get Lindsay is more like a little kitchen but I do know what an easy bake is. I should buy her a big wheel. LOL How about a Green machine? Now I am really showing my age, huh?
Remember the things we would sit on and spin ourselves around? I wonder if they still make those? Those were lots of fun. My son would be happy with a football, baseball and a basketball. He is a sports freak. My oldest just wants money and clothes. I have no idea what to get my mom or grandparents. I am thinking gift certificates.
Well you take care Sarah and Good luck on not smoking. I wish you lots of luck.

Rae:
Damn girl...you have had a rough year. I know how you feel as I also lost my Dad in late April. I hope this one goes out without much more news...for me and for you!
I do think the photograph's and frames sound like a wonderful idea. One of my dear friends here is a woman whose daughter was murdered. It was many years ago, but it is there, everyday. She was her only child...and this woman is awesome, she is always helping someone else...I guess that is her way of staying sane. I am so sorry for your siblings...that one is just very hard to deal with. I hope the man doesn't ever see the light of day.
Anyway, in my opinion...I see with my friend that every act of kindness made towards her with respect to her daughter, is always so appreciated. Every now and then, a old friend of her daughters...or someone she knew from even elementary school will show up with a picture they found...and bring it to her. I know for a fact, she loves seeing those things come back to her. Time is the thing...and the only thing in instances like these.
Thanks for your comments about my friend. I know he is with me...I am still a little in shock, not believing this is real...but I am opening up to acceptance, and trying to wrap my feeble little mind around it. He was a daily friend...we talked everyday, so it is beginning to feel really strange. I cannot call him or go see him, or get him to my studio to look at something I am working on. Now that the shock is wearing off...I am beginning to really miss him. I know I have to go through it...no way around, as they say!
Having little ones during Christmas must be the most fun we can have! All my nieces and nephews are past the Santa years...but there will be a new baby born in our family in March. My niece is having a baby, which will make me a great aunt.....yuck! lol.
But, it will rejuvenate our family after the loss of our Father...especially for my mother. She will be a great too! hahaha.
Yeah, keep your fingers crossed for me with the smoking. I really want to be a non!
I gotta get a move on. Much to do! You have a great day too Rae...and it was good to chat with you!

Hey Gulls...
Just wanted to say good morning. I'm sorry that you aren't feeling well Rae! My foster daughter went through hell the other night with her son. He spiked a high fever and quit breathing!!! I guess it's common although I've never heard of such a thing. They did CPR and then called an ambulance. By the time they got to the hospital he was fine....playing, laughing. Little creep. So glad I don't have to do babies anymore...too scary.
I hope your daughter and you feel better really soon.
Big hugs Sarah...

Morning Lisa.
My niece is coming this morning to help me decorate, so I will get a little sunshiine blown in my house! She is pregnant, so I won't let her read this! hahaha!
I love you!

No, don't let her read this. I'm beginning to wonder if even recovering addicts should read this board, period. lol
Enjoy your day honey.
