Good Morning Indiana!!!!

Good Morning Indiana... How is everyone??? I am excited I get to meet you guys tomorrow!!! I never thought I would make so many friends online... But anyways... I need directions to the party tomorrow... I am sure I had a brain freeze and just dont remember you guys telling me... It starts at 11:30 right? I cant believe I am still up and GOING... I have done laundry and scrubbed the entire house... My enitre family will be at my house on Sunday, so it needs to be clean! Hey, does anyone know of a washer that works good that is for sell for cheap... Mine is going out, so I need to find one in the next week or so... Well, since I have to be up at 6 I need to go to bed...

Megan, I sent you an email with directions.  The Ornament Exchange starts at 11. We'll eat at 11:30 and start the exchange at 12:30.  See you then. Floyd

I am so darn upset right now, I can't hardly think straight.  I was ready to drive up to the party, and I had everything loaded into the car.   I go to turn the key, all I hear instead of the motor turning over is click click click.   Well Hells Bells!!!!     I have called the garage and they are going to come pick the car up and take it to hopefully fix it this morning.   It will still be too late for me to make the party. I wish I had another car, I would already be on my way! I guess the girls and I will be eating the apple salad ourselves.  Mariah even helped me prep the apples for it.  Thanks again for your gracious hospitality, Brenda and Floyd.     I hoped you recieved my voicemail.  I am going to go cry myself back to sleep....      ....and I will talk to you all later. Have fun! God Bless!

LaChelle, Sorry to hear about your car.  I did get your voice mail.  Our Espresso maker decided to break this morning so we had to run out to the store and exchange it for a new one.  It was only two weeks old.  Have a new one so we can have Lattes now.   Sorry you won't be able to make it today. Maybe you can make the Clothing Exchange next month.  We're all looking forward to meeting you. Floyd

Hang in there sweetie! (((HUGS)))) These things happen in life and I have gotten so I just accept them and realize God is in control. He knows if there is a reason why you shouldn't be on the roads today so just trust him and look forward to the next one. as I have gotten older...I have learned to roll with the punches and go with the flow. When S*** happens....it is for a reason. hug you girls and enjoy the day with them! Chin up Beautiful! Hugs! Marianne

Morning All, I just got off the phone with Dawn"I'm on my way" Smith and feels that since the weather is changing we wont be going to the O.E. Party. She knows how I fall a lot, and she doesnt want to take any chances of me falling (ME, EITHER) plus I dont think she felt to good. I will miss everyone but I hope to see all at the clothing next month. I am praying the weather will be somewhat better. Everyone have a good time. Blessings,Hugs and Love, Gail

Good morning everyone! I've been up & busy since ~7 this morning. I don't have too much more to go and then I can start getting dressed & ready to head over to Brenda & Floyd's. I'm really looking forward to seeing you all. I look forward to every outing I get these days, but especially ones that involve seeing my buddies. I want to thank everyone for the Christmas cards that have been coming in. Jodi, your young son is such a cutie! Thank you for the pic. I can't wait to be able to see him in person. I have ~20 more cards or so to do but I had to get that darn printer problem taken care of first. I think I have it now (thanks to Chris!) so I'll probably try it this evening or tomorrow. Gail...I'm gonna miss you hon but given the weather, it is better that you not take any chances at falling! Since you said that Dawn wasn't feeling good, does that mean she doesn't plan on going either? LaChelle...Marianne couldn't have been more right! We were all looking forward to meeting you but for whatever reason, it wasn't meant for you to be on the road today. Enjoy your day with your kids. We'll look forward to meeting you at another time in the future. You all have a good day! Sherri

Good Morning everybody,  I am showered and ready to go. Now I am just waiting on Dh.I made my Black Bean soup at midnight last night. Yummy. Except the recipe does not make a whole lot. Bummer so if you pick up the recipe sheet double it. OK! I think I might come home and make a triple batch and freeze some of it.

I am so excited words can not describe. I have talked about this all week at work. I must say I am kind of nervous though. I do not know everyones Real names. I usually know your avatar pic names.I am social but have a hard time with new people.Though I know so much about everyone I am afraid. I know silly huh. Well I need to get going see ya ina hour or so. Shanna Pss. Lost another pound this morning...-26

Hi Everyone,  Just dropping a line to say have a great time at the Ornament Exchange! I know Floyd & Brenda will hold a great party ,just wish I was there to share it with you, as I will miss seeing you all!! The chruch function went great- just alittle wearing with all of the kids- they can be a handful at 3yrs. old. I don't know that I'll sign up for that age again. They are fun, just on the go all the time.  Amy & Tony  are going to the grocery store in alittle while, so I am going to keep the babies for them. Tony's job outlook is so bleak that he didn't get his Christmas bonus this yr. so it looks like a slim Christmas, gift wise, for them.  Keep him/them in your thoughts please-it looks like it may be downsizing where he works, and he will be on the chopping block. The construction business he works for is really suffering. He has applied for a couple of jobs, but no callbacks  yet. Bethany weighs 8 # and Aiden is 9#- wow they are really growing!!! She has a really bad belly button hernia so she'll have to have surgery sometime. They both are so sweet- staying up longer & making cooing noises now. I tried to download some photos on here, but it isn't happening- for some reason my computer isn't computing with the download. Oh well, I'll have my "techie" grandson help me when he's here. Gotta go, it's "babies" time- so have a great day/weekend everyone! (((hugs))) Ellen
