I told him I wanted to make a quick post before we left and he said...tell them ...&quot;I am going one way with the girls and you are going to go do Santa&quot;...LOL and them he said the bit about my friends here taking that the wrong way&#33;...<br /><br />Well it worked out fine.  He took them shopping at Wal-mart and I went ALL over Little Rock.  I think I must had gone to 4 stores at least...only got lost once...and only got &quot;almost&quot; run over once. (but it was really close). LOL<br />That is a all new &quot;low&quot; record for me driving in Little Rock&#33;  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> <br /><br /><b>Falina</b> - I saw the game...WOW&#33; I really like Bret Favre but I was glad your SeaHawks won.<br /><br /><b>Kevin</b> - love the pics of the view...beautiful.  <br />Really cute song.  Thanks&#33;<br />and I don&#39;t have ANY trouble keeping up with how close it is getting to &quot;cruise time&quot;<br />Now that Rose knows...we mark off the calendar, watch the boat move across, count down the days, count on our fingers, tell everyone we know, tell total strangers...etc...LOL<br /><br />I am going to have to show hubby all the cute comments about me and Santa.  It will prove he was right about all my friends here&#33;  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> <br /><br /><b>Rose</b> - I love your Snoopy Christmas doghouse.  I started to use that one until I found the card. LOL<br /><br /><b>MaryLou</b> - Welcome Home&#33;  I have missed You.<br /><br /><b>Jackie</b> - I know you are glad the new family is home safe and sound. What a wonderful holiday everyone will have.<br /><br /><b>Shari</b> - It was too bad your brother wasn&#39;t able to make it your family gathering, but good that you all had a nice time.  How is Marc doing?<br /><br /><b>Steve</b> - It is good to know that Missy is going to be OK.  Sounds like that Curio Cabinet would qualify as an &quot;insurance investment&quot; in your portfolio. LOL<br />About cleaning because you are having company...my hubby aways asks me...&quot;If it is clean enough for us to live in then why isn&#39;t it clean enough for company?&quot;  He just doesn&#39;t get it... <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> <br /><br />and <b>Ed</b> - the bit about cleaning before you leave...all my growing up before we left on vacation my Mother had to clean the house because she said if we all died on the trip she wasn&#39;t going to have &quot;mourners coming into my dirty house&quot;...I swear, she would say that. LOL<br /><br />HI to everybody and TRY and stay warm.  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cool2:" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> <br /><br />Andrea<br /><br />
