Thank you all for your comments, and Janet you are such a dear friend to allow me to unload my problems on you, sometimes it just helps to say things outloud to someone other than the ones that are going through it. Thank you

Janet · 11-21-2010, 01:00 PM

Lynne...you are more than welcome....you always listen to me too and I honestly love you and value our friendship....don't know what I would do without you.

All right. I'm back at the airport for my flight home. I told you it was a quick trip.

Last night for dinner I had crab quiche, poached oysters, and seafood gumbo. Mmmmmmm everything was so good!

The New Orleans Saints (NFL football) played the Seattle Seahawks at the Superdome yesterday just down the street from my hotel. Yesterday evening the French Quarters were FULL of Saints fans. It was pretty rowdy. We took a cab to our restaurant in the French Quarters so we were safe! LOL!

I wish I had one more day to eat again! The food is soooooo good!

I had such a great weekend!

We got our Christmas decorations up outside (3 lighted reindeer and 2 spiral trees and some candy canes) on Saturday. It was about -20 C but no wind so it wasn't too bad!

Then our realtor came over to finally see the house and give us housewarming gifts! She got us a really nice wall clock and two large torch-like candle holders for the wall behind the hot tub, with candles and covers. They are huge! Probably 3 feet tall. They are gorgeous though and will look so good on that bare wall!

My parents came over after that to see the place since we've got it done. They loved it!

On Sunday we went out for lunch for my brother's birthday and then did some shopping. I bought a new pink snowboard and bindings (last year's models for cheap!) and a gorgeous dress for one of Scott's work Christmas parties.

Finally we got home in time to catch the last three quarters of the Western Finals in football... and we kicked Calgary's butt! Okay, not a huge kicking, but we won anyway and will face off with Montreal AGAIN this year for the Grey Cup next weekend! (equivalent to your super bowl) This is the first year I actually followed the team for the whole year so I'm quite excited! Last year we lost to Montreal at Grey Cup due to a bad mistake nobody likes to remember

but here's our second chance! It was a great end to a great weekend!

Merry Christmas house!!! Take pictures of the reindeer please.....

I am considering taking out my Christmas stuff. Not sure what I have. I know I have a nice door wreath, and a new little optic tree. I think I also have an optic Santa. I have an angel or two, and I think that's about it.

Once Jessie was out of the house, I stopped making a Christmas house. I eventually gave her everything. It's really nice to see our stuff from her childhood up in her house now. I do have my tree, but I haven't taken it out of the box in years. Jessie gets a live tree.

Oh wait...there's a little half dead potted tree that I put on the porch yesterday. It was as dry as a desert, having been stuck behind a bush all summer. Poor little tree!

Janet · 11-22-2010, 08:44 AM

I didn't even get dressed yesterday....

....so since I needed to drive the bus today..lol..I got dressed. Then ran to town and finished up buying what's needed for dinner on Thursday. I love turkey and dressing and my stuffed mushrooms.

Lindsey · 11-22-2010, 09:36 AM

Judy, I don't think I'll ever stop doing Christmas decorating, I've been obsessed with Christmas my whole life!

I was feeling pretty good this morning but for the past hour I've been not so well... I don't think I got over that touch of flu last week and I'm nauseous and feverish now. Scott's on his way to pick me up and I'm going to my grandma's house to sleep for the day. What a start to the week

gja1000 · 11-22-2010, 10:05 AM

I'm in Houston - don't have to get off the plane though so that is good! Home soon!

gja1000 · 11-22-2010, 10:11 AM

The guy next to me stinks. Thankfully this is only a 30 min flight. And why do they all have to invade my space by extending their arms over the arm rest.

OMG Gayle, you crack me up LOL. Maybe you should fart or something and he would move over so you could have the arm rest LOL

gja1000 · 11-22-2010, 07:44 PM

You guys WON'T BELIEVE IT!!! He turned out to be a PSYCHIATRIST!!! He had been to a podunk town in west Texas working the weekend at the State Psychiatric hospital out there. I don't think he had taken a shower all weekend! LOL!

He was VERY talkative - and when he found out I was a nurse, he NEVER SHUT UP! Thankfully, it was only a 30 minute flight. He was pretty funny and nice too, and I kinda could overlook the stinkiness.

Lindsey · 11-23-2010, 06:49 AM

Lol Gayle!!! You're hilarious! I hate when people talk to me on flights, I hope that doesn't make me snobby. I just like being in my own little world.

Last night was so weird for us. We had nothing to do on the house. We had it all cleaned up on the weekend so we got home last night and RELAXED. What a concept! I love it! I was still a bit feverish last night but felt a lot better after sleeping at my grandma's house all afternoon. I spent the evening watching tv all snuggled under a blanket, had a bubble bath, and went to bed. Today I'm back to 100%!

judy · 11-23-2010, 08:01 AM

Poor Gayle! At least he was fun to talk to! When you ride the trains in the summer in NYC, it can get really smelly too! People hang onto overhead straps, and if you are next to a sweaty person, it can knock you right out!

Janet · 11-23-2010, 08:18 AM

Gayle...you are hilarious!!!! I'm glad the flight wasn't very long with the stinker...lol.

So far today, I've cut up bread so it can dry for the dressing, boiled some eggs and .....that's it. I'll do more tomorrow...just not in the mood today.

judy · 11-23-2010, 03:29 PM

I went to Jessie's today. Brandon and I watched "Raptor Island," which was hysterical. It was a real B movie. Brandon and I had fun watching it, and I love listening to him go on and on about dinosaurs, who were the good guys, who were the bad guys, and so on. Then I hung out with Mackenzie and Steve for a while. Kass had a fever and she and Jessie were both napping.

It was a really nice, quiet family day.
