Being sicks sucks. I'd just not do it anymore if I were you.

I'm going to be so broke this entire holiday season. I've got 2 rents to pay... and that will not be easy. Then there's Christmas... *sigh*

Oh well. It will be good, and we'll make it. On a lighter note I'm going to see Iris tonight, and she always puts me in a great mood.

-Bobby

is Iris your girlfriend?

i'm too broke for Christmas too. i vote we skip it this year.

Honestly I have no idea what our relationship is anymore, so to be safe I'll say no. But she's at the least a very close friend and one of the most interesting people I've ever known.

I'd challenge anyone to not be in a good mood around her. She's very short, very cute, overly generous, very intelligent, and funny on top of all that. I dont think any guy has ever met her without falling at least a little in love with her.

-Bobby

PS: I second the vote.

aww, if she saw that, she'd be your girlfriend.

motion passes. no presents this year!

me & galoot gave it up years ago. now i only buy for the kids, & my Mom.

my kids need lots of stuff though.

you're such a sweet mom biff!

for Christmas shopping, I usually just give some money to my sis and she helps picking out gifts for our family I'm so indecisive, I never know what to get!

Bobby, Iris sounds like a really amazing person by how you described her that's so sweet!

also, sorry about the whole being broke thing I know how that is! bummer.

his name is James (or Jim for short) thanks for the thought, I really appreciate it

I'm glad to hear you got to talk with Nathan, biff, I got to talk to my dad on the phone last night too...I can't wait till the 4th when he comes down to visit!

i'm glad you got to talk to your Dad.

Grandpa Jim is on the prayer chain. what day does he have to go?

i posted my new Christmas tree in photos.

i'm a lucky Mom, in that my kids always make me lists... with links. it makes it all so much easier. i'm horribly indecisive too.

that is pretty awesome for you it takes all the guess work out of shopping for them

thanks for putting my grandpa on the prayer chain biff, his surgery was today, luckily the cancer affected skin was pretty close to the surface, so they didn't have to go to deep to remove it, my grandma picked me up from school today and told me about it, she says he's doing fine aside from a little swelling aound his eye I'm glad, I was really worrying about him today!

I'll have to look at those Christmas tree in photos biff!

last night I got bored and made some little sculptures of the Johns out of bake clay I'll have to post a pic of them sometime, they kinda got a little scorched in the oven my cooking's rubbish, so I wasn't too surprised...

Glad to hear your grandpa's surgery went all right, flame.

YaY Grandpa!

ooh, i bet your little Johns are cute! you're so great at that stuff.

i am SO TGIFing. what a week.

thanks, me too!

I'm REALLY glad it's Friday too! I'm gonna spend the night at my friend's house tonight, since she's been so busy with finals coming up it's been a while since we've just hung out together

oh, and here are some pics of my little sculptures they're a bit freaky lookin, but I was kinda going for Hine's style, I just love her TMBG art projects!

here they are...


here's me with them


and here they are with their little pouch I made out of felt...I should really make some little accessories

those are the cutest things ever!!!

aw, thank you! I'm usually not so crafty I think it's because I was really bored

you're kidding, right? you are like the craftiest person i know!


i'm awake ridiculously early, cuz galoot has to work today. bless his heart.

we had fun last night. wal mart wasn't too horrible. we got him some new shoes, & i got some really cool earrings... in addition to the usual list stuff. then we went to Salsa's for burritos & a margarita/corona.

i cannot stress strongly enough how much i love that place.

we skipped Meema's, cuz of the having to work today thing, but i'll give her a call today.

Those sculptures are just darling! Cute pouch, too.

In the past couple of days, I got a few early Christmas presents: A new DVD player (region code-free) and a couple of import DVDs (the British films A Room For Romeo Brass and Last Resort, which I'd been wanting for a while but were never released on video or DVD in the US). I haven't done my holiday shopping yet, but hopefully I'll get to do that next weekend...

that's awesome, GR!

i changed everything. i got in a tweaky mood.

it's been a really nice day since galoot got home.

it's really warm out too, for December.
