Not only will I be alone, but I will be in some stranger's condo while I wait for the movers to show up (this could take days). Sniff, sniff. Self-pity, self-pity.
I am a real softie for those Thomas Kincaide paintings of old-fashioned Christmases. I don't care if they're not great art. Or, anything looking like an ideal, probably unobtainable, Christmas image w/snow and a lit tree.
Thank you! I have stored them in my e-mail file! LOL! I didn't know at the time that people were putting them on their home page!
Thank you, sweet O ... I pray so. I just know I'll be snoozing the whole way, 'cause I'll be up all night .. O - sew-lo-mio finishing this jacket for my Mom.. and the dang laundry.
As soon as I'm seated and buckled in, I put the pillow and blankets on the window, snuggle in, and I'm out like a light. The purring of the engines puts me right out .. and, of course, sleep deprivation .. LOL. Most extreme, was one trip where I slept thru the takeoff AND the landing. I woke up to "M'am .. m'am .. we've landed" and the plane was empty, except for me and the crew. Hahahaha .. that was priceless.
Isn't it the dreamiest?? s i g h ..........
For some reason, I missed this before. Very funny. :P
Hannukah ;)
LOL --- you're blessed to be able to sleep so soundly on airplanes. I am almost a wreck the whole time. Since 9/11, I watch e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
Good! You have them saved.
Could you eat a piece for me too? I won't get a piece of mine until Friday noon. :(
Indeed!
Thanks and you're welcome :)
ugh is right.
Gosh you would think that Pres. Bush is a rapist and womanizer the way he is spoken about over there..and of course Jeb is just SUFFERING so because of his dastardly brother....sigh
Brother Jeb will be just fine, thank you very much---I am sure he will make major money on the speaking circuit if he chooses.
Maybe Pres. Bush should nominate him for UN Ambassador in place of John Bolton...
It's lovely, snugs,... albeit a bit more red than mine.
LOL, you could be right :)
Sorry to hear that what exactly is a condo?
Safe travels and know that you'll be missed.
Merry Christmas!
She's so spoiled...... :)
I don't think I could've made it through the 2004 election without FR. I was going insane. The Dose, especially. I wasn't in school that fall and having to deal with my liberal parents every day was really awful. The Dose kept me sane :)
YES! That adds up to 3 pieces for me tonight! YUM. To be perfectly candid... I think I could eat half the cake tonight and still want more.
No, smart Jonny! After Thanksgiving, I had red velvet cake pouring out my ears :o
Now if you made a chocolate cake, we could talk ;)
