I definately am too old to be chasing a 3 and 5 year old around all day but Deb&#39;s business is over - she finished early and will even take 1/2 day off today.  She is on vacation next week so we will both get a rest.   Today I will do the majority of my cooking for tomorrow so I can relax and visit with my son, DIL and grandkids tomorrow.  On Sunday we will be heading down to Harrisburgh to have Christmas with both of my brothers and their families.  I&#39;m really looking forward to that.  Can&#39;t wait to hear what wedding plans my niece has<br /> made - my brother just shakes his head and says &quot;expect the unexpected.&quot;  Since Laura is an opera singer I imagine it will be something quite theatrical - <br /><br />Steve - hope your Pup is OK.   That was very nice of your Church to come Caroling for you Dad.<br /><br />Jenn - don&#39;t you just love it when the house is all shiny and squeaky clean.  I think I peaked too early - I had my house like that last week - now it is back to the same old same old.   <br /><br />Cheryl - be careful in that storm.  You are certainly getting hit hard again this year.  <br /><br />Maria - tried not turning on the TV when I went to bed last night and it didn&#39;t make any difference.  Still work up at 2AM and have only been nodding off til 5 when I finally got disgusted and got up.  Only problem was that without the TV on I didn&#39;t fall asleep til nearly midnight.<br /><br />Rose - good luck with the neighbor&#39;s dog   That is soooo annoying and you are right - some folks are very inconsiderate.<br /><br />Joey - that was some great buy you got on your leather jackets.  I wish I could make you my shopper if you find deals like that.  <br /><br />Ed - Glad you are getting around to the HoneyDo list.  Have fun with your friends at the Olive Garden.<br /><br />Tonia - you are an amazing cook.  I love all the recipes you post and have enjoyed quite a few of them.  It&#39;s too bad you couldn&#39;t do something with your talents in the kitchen but having come from a family who were Caterers I can tell you the cooking loses some of it&#39;s charm when you are doing so much of it.  <br /><br />Sue - Are you all set for Christmas?  Where will you be spending the day?<br /><br />Time to get &quot;the boss&quot; up and moving.   I need to hit Kohl&#39;s when it opens at 7AM and then will be home and cooking and baking the rest of the  day.  <br /><br />Make today special and share a  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />
