New Years Eve !!!!
It is only 5 days away
lol I better start thinking about those resolutions
and my FIL is coming Friday for the NY weekend
I think I am going to use today as straighten up day with all the rushing the past few days there is stuff everywhere
lol the poor dining room table & breakfast bar in the kitchen seem to be the main dumping grounds
As much as I loved being with family the past few days I am really glad to be done with the rich foods
lol between Christmas Eve & Christmas Day I have eaten more than in a long time
oh I did try a few new things Guinness walnut cheese,Smoked Gouda cheese, my MIL pork dish
lol I did pass on the roasted brussel sprouts Hubby tried them and said they were pretty good
But wow they are a smelly food while cooking lol I stay far away from smelly food
Once I straighten the house up I am going to have to spend a couple hours on work stuff
Last week with the new chicken distributor was a nightmare in the bookkeeping dept. They were COD so my manager couldn't do deposits because we needed to make sure there was cash on hand
This morning we are going to get that all straightened out.
I had a "chat" with the head over at corporate I told him if you don't get it under control with the chicken guy I am going to call the old distributor myself and go back to them
I think that ruffled his feathers (pun intended) he said we should be getting delivery today from the old company
Well, no shopping for me today. I didn't get home until almost midnight last night. We did have a fabulous evening, and I guess I didn't really need any more wrapping paper.
Santa brought me a new Coach wallet, a new purse that I probably won't use, a pink Gucci keychain, an amazing cinnamon candle (not really a candle person but I love this one), a dressy black top with sequins, an emergency LED light that straps to my head so I can see when the power goes out, 2 boxes of my favorite imported British tea, and a NASCAR calendar. Oh! and a new-to-me TV. Friends just did a renovation and bought a wall mounted TV. They had a nice TV that they bought right as the flat panel TVs were coming out, and it rarely got used. My old one was pushing 15 years old and the picture was getting darker and darker, to the point where if there was a night time scene you kind of couldn't see it. They asked me if I could use the TV and I was so excited, a new TV was not in my budget.
My critters made out like bandits this year. I will not have to buy treats for a long, long, long time.
Shadow is mostly sound this morning. Fingers crossed she stays that way. We changed her meds and finally there is noticeable improvement. We have been taking it easy and she is getting wilder and wilder and wilder. *sighs* I wish I could make her understand that resting the shoulder is going to make it better, tearing around the uneven frozen ground and jumping down off the bed is going to make it worse. We have not ventured out any farther than the front porch for a cigarette yet this morning.
Shadow SMOKES???? Evey, you must tell her it is very very bad for her!
Did Santa bring you anything to help keep you warm?
Don't know what's in store for here today, but Billy leaves tomorrow, so I'm kind of heartbroken already, but mh goes back to work then to so...
No more NN pounding on the windows--that's in Saturday's thread if any of you missed that little episode of idiocy.
We went to MIL's yesterday, we bought her tons of Godiva chocolate and some ghiradelli too and some for SIL too. SIL made this really beautiful plaque kind of thing, it's pieces of colored glass in a design that has our address on it to hang on the house. She made it! I don't know what you call that kind of crafting but wow, it is amazing!
Today I am making lasagna, which I haven't made in many, many years, thanks to changing our eating habits---speaking of which, my 'pre-diabetic' dealio was I was 102, the cutoff is 99. The gal who called me about my vitamin D level said I might have just eaten something starchy that raised it, and that it was no big deal, basically.
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

OMG, life was good till about 1 hour ago.
Remember Nutso Neighbor from about 2 years ago??? She's baaaaaa-aaack! Yep, she and the husband that she left and cleared the house out on are back together and they bought my late "boyfriend" Tom's house for $10,000. Unbelievable. THey just pulled in about an hour ago. I'm going to drink a lot tonight.
Took down all the decorations today. Trying to get things organized before the new realtor shows up Friday to take pictures. It will probably take me most of the week to do.
yikes Pattie I will even have a few drinks for you
Will they be closer or farther away this time
lol Can't you pretend you don't remember them or have never met
The woman seems so wacky that she may fall for it
Evey you got some really cool gifts hey has T.T. started playing on her new toy yet
Connie - I loves those maybe the are "stained glass" address plaques add a nice touch to the house
Cheryl we will put the power of the exercise ladies into full force I think we have "sold" 3 or 4 houses so far

Our cul-de-sac is quite small; they'll be about the same distance. The only good thing is that they'll be next door to our former buddy Jim who can't stand them, especially her.
If they'd only been here a month or two, we could probably pretend we don't know them, but it won't work on these two.
