Jack, best of luck with the hampster, if the snake gets it take some pics for me.

Moon, glad ya enjoyed your meal.

Hope everyone has a great day.

yep.......

Good Tuesday morning to ya'll!

Hope that everyone is doing well this morning! I have missed you guys...haven't been online since last Thursday thanks to this wonderful flu which I still have. Ended up getting Friday off as a paid sick day, I do believe my bosses finally were sick of me hacking up a lung in my office... I found myself up to my eyeballs in mail and contracts yesterday upon my return...it just doesn't pay to be sick.

Today I'm contending with a 101 degree fever, as I sit with my ceiling fan on in my office and type this...I am sweating. That just ain't right...LOL

The bonus of the day...I have next week of paid as a my Christmas present...now that's what I'm talkin' about.

Hoping that everyone is doing well, staying healthy and trying to remain sane during this incredibly silly, insane time of year!

DeadEnd- this flu has been going on way too long! Maybe it's broncitis or even pneumona! Have you seen the Dr.? If not- it's time to go.

Vicki --
I did go to the doctors on Friday and she told me it's a pretty bad case of the flu. I still have my tonsils so everytime I get any kind of viral infection it goes straight to my throat and hangs out for a week or two. I'd much rather deal with strep throat for a week or two every year than contend with the ordeal of getting tonsils taken out...LOL I'm taking a few different things that have helped lessen the severity of it all, but I'm still feeling pretty blech...LOL Thanks for your concern sweetie, I appreciate it! (And I am stubborn, as I hate going to the doctor for anything...LOL)

As I'm sure you all have realized I'm a total picture *****...I love seeing other people's pictures and sharing mine. (I'm like that relative who forces you to view the slideshow of their very boring vacation...only difference is, here you can click off the post...LOL)

We received our pictures that were taken at Disney. Needless to say, we both had enough goodwill and merriment towards men that day to last us the rest of the year and then some...but you know Disney, they go way over the top for Christmas.

Main Street decorations...I'd hate to see what their freakin' electric bill is...geesh!




Winnie AND Eeyore in the same location...it's like the mothership called me home...

DE--- awesome pics!
Glad you are feeling better. My husband is now at the "has no voice" point---Is this good or bad????

Today has been insane.....
I fell off a chair in the kitchen this AM--hey I know, but I am short--One of those plastic Patio chairs, it broke.

I messed myself up nicely --- My ankle is swollen and bruised, my shin has a HUGE purple bruise and a wicked nice gash where the chair cut me--and my knee is twisted up pretty bad, and purple as well--
BUT no time for the ER folks--only hurts when I walk anyway---LOL!
Besides I have had natural Child birth ya know? I can handle sprained knee--

I got done a Gazillion cookies, the laundry drying nicely--and yes Dead END this weather I will take--NO AC, NO HEAT--LOW progress energy bill!!!!!

I wrote a blog on SS about what my weekend will entail I will cross post it here for you guys---

Saturday night should be interesting to say the least....

I hope everyone is ready and mended before the weekend...

Well here goes---

MOOD::: Cool
So like anyone--besides those I sent it to have this CD? Twisted Xmas by Twisted Sister.
It is actually pretty awesome--- Heavy metal Xmas is my favorite
I start out the week--calm, peaceful. and actually very proud of myself for not buying into the MEDIA ******** on how the SILLY SEASON is supposed to be for all of us---
I have almost made it... and with only one meltdown that the season contributed to. This is amazing for me--
Now I do say 'almost' because the BIGGEST test is yet to come... oh yes folks--- I am not talking the big day. No, I am talking 2 days before the BIG day--
The Mother in law is coming to town---
this is scarier then any horror movie you have ever seen---
Let's put it this way the kids looked at me and said, "MOM we have to SEE grandma? She is sooooo mean!!!!!"
Now I really don't even have a rhetorical reply, because they are RIGHT--she is wicked mean. She is a control freak and all she ever does is bitch.
My sister in law already told her--if you are coming up here to ride all the kids, just stay HOME we don't need it. Between all of us there are 7 kids. She has 3 girls and an 18month old son... and then I have my 3---
Hell, even Gomez has not seen his mother since she came to the Hospital in 2003 when he had triple bypass surgery---
As I watch the kid's dismay, they'd rather be in SCHOOL then spend an evening with Grandma..Hell least she is staying at SIL's house and NOT mine---
I am thinking about my own Christmas PAST--How I was dragged from relative to relative. Forced to sit at "THE KID'S TABLE" even between the ages of 13-15--
Kiss and hug on every damn smelly relative, ect;
I remember well and feel their PAIN-- but you know what? It's something we all have to OWN as we are growing up, HUH?
I was wandering around the house after I went to the Flea Market on Saturday. 2 million stores and I STILL could not find the appropraite gift for Grandma--
I happen to voice this out loud--
My son who is 13 paused the playstation 2 and looked at me--
He said, "Mom why don't you just get Grandma a cross because that way the next time she feels unappreciated she can just nail herself to it"
THAT WAS FUNNY
Okay--he borrowed the line--but you know what..this kid's sense of humor keeps him ALIVE around here and it also has little per-teen hotties callin my house constantly
So here we sit the week before- Xmas means nothing to me.
I celebrate YULE/Solstice in my house. But to the rest of the good catholics of the family--we are not out of the, BROOM CLOSET, ya know?
Last week was a living HELL it had nothing to do with the silly season--but still. no more---It's okay now--lessons, lessons, lessons --ALWAYS learning--sometimes it sux!
I am starting off this week on a much better footing...at least until Saturday evening, hehehehe--we shall see. I asked Gomez, "are we bringin the Captain {As in Morgan} with he looked at me and said, "What do you think?"
I look at it as fullfilling another 2 yr obligation.
The women hates me. (I stole her son, oh boo-hoo..NO you ruined your relationship with him by LIEING to him his whole life. I bet you hate the day his father found him--I am not responsible for that now, am I) I tolerate her because I am full blooded Italian and was raised to respect my ELDERS
and right this too shall pass--- If I have learned one thing as I have gotten older--it's just not to sweat the **** that really does not matter.this doesn't. not really. I have been with Gomez 25yrs. She has always been the same.
So like I hope everyone is gettin thru. I hope everyone is well. I have a wicked craving for a CANDY CANE---hmmmmmmm
think when Al gets home from school I'll have him start on that cross---

and that will be saturday--LMAO!
I gotta go get the kids from school--trust me I am sitting the rest of the afternoon.
be back sooN!

Moon --
First and foremost, you put some ice on that ankle and knee and take care of yourself! Don't make me drive out there and do it for you!

I'm at the same place your husband is now, well actually I still have a voice but I sound like a 13 year old boy going through puberty. I feel my voice will pretty much be a lost cause by the end of the week. But a hubby without any way to talk...now that's somewhat of a Christmas miracle isn't it?! LOL

And this weather has been fantastic!!! I'm with you on the low Progress Energy bill...that's for darned sure. You know me, I'm not much for cold weather, but if it makes for cheaper electric bills...bring it on!

Your blog made me laugh so hard! (I love your son's comment about buying the cross and letting Grandma nail herself to it...that's some classic stuff right there!) I'm fortunate that my mother in law is quite the sweetheart, thank the good lord for that. But my dad's Mom sounds a great deal like what your MIL is like...she was overbearing, a control freak and just a plain pain in the ass to be around. None of us grandkids liked her nor wanted to be around her. So when the holidays came, it was torture for us all.

You poor thing... I say spike everyone's drinks with a little Captain before dealing with her...it'll make the situation more enjoyable on your part at least....

BloodyHell...Jack...I gotta say...hamsters..you are CRAZY!!
When I was about 10...my sister decided she wanted one..so of course I needed one too.
My cousin had some and he rescued 2 babies before their dad ate them(he had quite the cannibal hamsters).
So we talked mom into getting those damn hartx play city things for them...oooh..pay lots of money so the little rats can "play" and run in tubes...
Well, she wouldnt get the tubes. As it turned out, no need.
The lids of these cages were just plastic. 2 weeks into owning them, I came home from school to find the lid of one cage on the floor. Found the Hamster behind a bookshelf.
Puzzled, put it up. Next day...lid off again...4 FEET away! The excercise wheel was jammed with its bedding. The damn thing THREW the lid off...super hamster!
This time, he made it to the bathroom..under the washingmachine. These were in a position that were very hard to move...so my mom, sister and I had to tape a fishnet to a broom handle, use another broom and try to sweep the bastard in while sitting on top of the dryer and washer. After an hour, we got him..weighted both lids down with books, leaving the air vents open.
Within a week, both hamsters...I swear...ate the lids. Chewed the right up...and BOTH were behind the washer. Back to the brooms...
That was the end...I still have scars from rabbits too. My kids could have a dog...a big one even...
But never again rodents or rabbits, or anything that requres a cage, aquarium or anything else!!!

Well...I am sitting here in anticipation of a huge Christmas storm..10-20" are expected.
Possible killer OT!!!

Like I said...if a hamster gets loose in this house...CAT CHOW!!! SNAKE AND SHAKE!!!
