I believe I finally have a handle on this holidaywhich is fast approaching.  Did all my grocery shopping yesterday and since I don&#39;t have to babysit today I can try and put a dent in the wrapping that still needs to be done.   Hope everyone is finishing up with their errands.<br /><br />Tonia - thanks for all the new recipes.  I will definately try a few of them.   <br /><br />Jackie - glad your conference went OK and hope the job you are hoping for comes through.  <br /><br />Rose - I&#39;d like to be added to your birthday list - haha - Your daughter worked very hard for that cruise and that is so nice of you to give it to her for a birthday gift.<br /><br />Joey - thanks for the heads up - I&#39;ll have to check out that site as Michaels birthday is right after Christmas and I&#39;ll see if I can find something there for him.<br /><br />Carmen - you are so busy all the time.   Try not to overdo it.<br /><br />Steve - I&#39;ve been tossing those alumni newsletters in the trash for ages.   Sorry you didn&#39;t recognize any of the names - can you imagine if you met them in person.   I did that once - never again&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Jenn - glad you got a bit a sunshine.  We sure could use some here.<br /><br />Maria - how is that knee feeling?  You must be getting so excited to go to Joisey and then on to your cruise.<br /><br />Sue - Has Pappy gotten used to the snow yet?<br /><br />Shari - Will you still be watching Isabelle after the first of the year?  <br /><br />Ed - where are you hiding?  We haven&#39;t heard from you in a few days.  Hope all is well and you are just busy with the holidays.<br /><br />Time to get Jim up and moving.   I don&#39;t know how the roads will be this morning as we had some snow changing to rain last night - that plus freezing temps usually adds up to trouble.   I have to run out for one more gift this morning and then hopefully I am done.  <br /><br />Make today special and share a smile.  Try and do something nice for someone.<br /><br />
