Good morning all.  Another cold day but at least the snow has stopped.  We probably have a total of about 8 inches covering in our yard.  I plan to spend another day at home as the roads are still covered with the white stuff and my car stays in the garage as long as that is the case.  I made an appt. to get my hair cut next Tuesday.  Greg has always liked my hair long, but he really likes the style I picked out so he is fine with my getting it cut.  I think he realizes that at 51, it is time.  I am just watching the live coverage of the OJ Simpson sentencing.  The judge&#39;s speech is making it sound like she is going to let him have it and also making a point of saying she is not doing this to punish him for his previous trial for murder. <br /><br />Andrea, take care of yourself.  You spend so much time taking care of everyone else and put yourself last.  If you don&#39;t make yourself a priority, you won&#39;t be able to care for everyone else.  Guess I may have to find me a St. Bernard with a keg and go look for that rascal, Kevin...<br /><br />Rose, good luck at Kohl&#39;s.  I just cannot bring myself to brave the crowds.  Guess we will have to do it either this weekend or next.  I normally love the whole Christmas shopping experience but am just dreading it this year.  I did most of it online and wish I could do it all that way&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Jackie, hope your dentist visits are just for routine check-ups and cleanings.  Which reminds me that I need to make an appt. for that...<br /><br />Sue, I know you will be so happy to have your new laptop.  The only bad part about getting one is the whole setup process.  When I got my new one 2 years ago, I handed hubby all the software, manuals, etc. and expected that he was going to do as he is the technoligical genius, but he made me do it myself - wasn&#39;t too difficult at all.<br /><br />Ed, thanks for checking in.  Glad to hear you and Roe are having a wonderful time.  I wanna see the formal night pics, as well as all the others.  I am sure you both looked wonderful.<br /><br />Mary Lou, how is the trip going?  Hope you are traveling in good weather.<br /><br />James, yes good health for all would be the best gift of all.  I was just thinking this morning as I tried to get out of bed, how wonderful it would be to wake up with no pain.<br /><br />Steve, hope your colonoscopy is over by now and you are getting ready to sink your teeth into a big juicy burger or something scrumptuous after the yucky prep...<br /><br />Falina, hope you and DD are having a wonderful day out together and finding lots of good bargains.<br /><br />Deb, are you enjoying your day off from your taxi service?  Are you working on those Christmas cards?<br /><br />Kevin - you had better check in, DO YOU HEAR ME???   <br /><br />Wishing all you other crazies a wonderful day and a relaxing weekend.<br /><br />The judge is now doing the sentencing:<br /> <br />Because of most of the 10 counts were sentenced to run concurrently, it looks like he got about 15 yrs. with no possibility of parole for 5 years....
