Hi Everyone...<br /><br />It&#39;s 3.8 degrees here in Mpls.  We were supposed to get a lot of snow but that passed us by.  Now we are getting the cold and wind.  We are in a wind chill advisory with wind chills tonight and tomorrow at -25 to -35 below zero.  Glad I don&#39;t have to go out.  I can&#39;t even seem to stay warm in the house.  LOL  It doesn&#39;t look too good at a warm up for the beginning of the week either.  Still below zero for the evenings and not much better in the daytime.  Yikes&#33;  Remind me why I&#39;m living here in the freezer.  LOL  Must be because I love Minnesota and all my family is here.  LOL  Would still like a winter home in FL or AZ, though...just for the cold months.  I have most of my shopping done, just four more to get...they are tough ones, though.  The tree is up and all decorated...looks good, but Marc put new lights on this year and although they&#39;re pretty, it doesn&#39;t let my ornaments show as much as the old ones.  We&#39;ll probably have to not put so many on next year.<br /><br />Rose...so sorry you have suffered the spasms, too..they&#39;re no fun, for sure&#33;  Marc is doing well, thanks for asking.  He has his second treatment tomorrow.  <br /><br />James...have a good, and a safe trip&#33;<br /><br />Andrea....Loved your picture&#33;  Congrats on the docs&#33;<br /><br />Keith...bummer that you didn&#39;t get the senate seat&#33;   <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />   You would have made a great senator&#33;  Love your picture on your post of you and Rita&#33;<br /><br />Cheryl...hope you can find a way to style your new cut that you like.  Sometimes it takes a few trys at it.  Glad you&#39;re feeling better.  <br /><br />Jen...so glad you&#39;re feeling better.  Sometimes those jalopeneas can do that...but if it comes back be sure to see the doctor.  I&#39;m so sorry to her about your aunt.  My prayers are with you&#33;<br /><br />Kevin...love the picture of Sharon and Cocoa.  Love the name Cocoa, too... seems very fitting.  Heather is a lucky little girl.<br /><br />Ed...let me know how you like the universal remote.  Maybe I can talk Marc into one.  I&#39;m kind of tired of using 3 or 4 different remotes at the same time, too.<br /><br />Sue...glad you&#39;e feeling better.  Hope you had a nice relaxing day doing your cross stiching.<br /><br />Jackie...hope your DD&#39;s and the babies are doing well.  What an ordeal you had at WalMart...I have avoided going there so far, but may have to.  LOL  Sorry to hear about Tony&#39;s hour&#39;s being cut.<br /><br />Steve...those figures on the shopping and wrapping are a little different here.  100% for me and 0 for Marc.  LOL  Oh, I forgot that he does shop for mine...LOL<br /><br />Falina...hope all works out for Dillon.  It&#39;s so good that he has you, besides his dad and your DD.<br /><br />Chris...have fun at the party&#33;<br /><br />Deb...hope you are feeling better soon...and the computer is working better&#33; No apology needed for giving your opinion.   These are getting to be tough times, for sure.<br /><br />Tuesday...so glad your party went well&#33;<br /><br />Hope everyone had a good day, and will have an even better one tomorrow&#33;<br /><br />Stay warm, everyone&#33;
