Good morning Afters. Well, for many of us, this is the last workday before Christmas. The President gave us Federal Employees an extra day off on Christmas Eve which is always appreciated :lol saved me a vacation day for cruising ;) I know many offices have done the same. Hope some of you After’s who work are enjoying Monday off too.

Today is Leatherneck’s birthday so he took today off too. Tonight the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate the beginning of his last year in the 50s :lol Tomorrow is officially “Wrapping Dayâ€Â. I hope to get all the Christmas wrapping done. Then Sunday I can churn laundry and maybe bake some cookies. Haven’t discussed it but maybe the girls and the grandkids can come over and join in.

Leatherneck and I enjoyed a couple Christmas movie’s last night on DVD….LOVE George C. Scott and Scrooge! We will be doing more of that this weekend too.

That’s about all new here…hope everyone has a fun and productive weekend.

I remember the Christmas Billy showed up in his dress blues--very proud day for his grandfather. Just putting on finishing touches today like the red table clothes getting out guest towels . I really must stay out of the goodies today as am sure too many will be available next two days and I sure can't aford to gain weight. Too hard to loose.

Have a very merry HOliday -enjoy family and friends. See you after Christmas.

Good Morning Everyone!

Just getting things in order here at work.

Still keeping a close eye on Colleen (dd). Come to find out - she was bit by a spider. No wonder she feels like crap. They are pumping her full of antibotics and fluids. The doctor said if she didn't make a turn around this am - - we better get down there and take further action. It is hard to have them so far away when they are sick. But, she is in the hospital now and we found someone who knows what is going on. Jim was 0n the phone last night at 10:30 with the attending nurse. Colleen finally went to sleep. She had 105 fever off and on all day that had them worried also.

Waiting for the report this am to find out what we are doing. Right now we are staying here - - but that could change.

In the meantime - we still all kinds of things going on herre with family Christmas like everyone else. At least all my shopping is done - - cause I say so! lol

Hope you all have a great day

Good morning everyone. Have to work lots to do like all of you. Have to go to the chiroprator this am then return some items, pickup last of the Christmas gifts and still get some work done. Planning to get laundry, cleaning and wrapping done this weekend. Have to work on Mon but not for the whole day.

Hope everyone under the weather gets well soon. Have a good one.

Now that the morning has arrived, I can see that it is a fairly nice looking day. But according to the paper, it won't last till Christmas. At least they are predicting rain but it is cool enough to snow.

Happy birthday Leatherneck. And sure hope that Donna's dd recovers quickly and safely.

I wonder if Boston J has had any sleep yet?

Have a great weekend and a Merry Christmas.
