Good morning everyone,<br />
<br />
I have only been on briefly...and didn&#39;t take the time to post here...I should have.<br />
<br />
Thanksgiving night my kids really wanted to do the midnight shopping at the Wrentham...Premium Outlets...so like dopes...we agreed.  We waited on I 95 for almost 2 hours just to turn into the mall&#33;  LOL...It was raining and cold...yuck.  some of the stores were so crowded they were only letting a certain number of people inside at a time...so the lines outside the doors was insane.  The line to checkout at the Gap outlet was 1 1/2 hours wait&#33;  We didn&#39;t go there...lol...Overall it was neat...but I have to admit, I would prefer going shopping at 5 am, after I had some sleep.<br />
We didn&#39;t get home til 7 am&#33;  Never never again...<br />
<br />
Friday....after we got home, slept for a few hours...til 11:30 am.  The worst part...I am sick...lol..coughing fever etc.  The weather was so nice...we started the outside decorations...then had to hit Walmart for some more fake pine garland and managed to pick up other stuff too, as is the usual for that store&#33;  It was not crowded at all...we were there at supper time.<br />
<br />
Saturday....we finished the outside decorations...nothing over the top at all...simple...8 wreathes, some garland...lights candy canes, red candles in the windows...I did my snow scene in the bow window...put up two of the fake trees...no longer have real...this is the first year for our new prelit trees...one of which was an amazing bargain last year at Amazon.com...paid 25 bucks for a &#036;200 + tree...awesome&#33;  One is white...ya ya I know how tacky...but it is going to be our Disney tree....since painting the family room white...all the Disney pictures, cells, prints, paintings, etc...are in there...it really is a pretty tree, lol.<br />
<br />
Today is cleaning...as we are having company for the Pat&#39;s game, as our tickets were cancelled...not a happy camper, mind you...but life goes on.<br />
<br />
Looks like everyone has been busy busy...Glad to see your prognosis is much better than previously thought...prayers are being said for you for a speedy recovery...it is truly amazing what medicine can do.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend&#33;<br />
