      Morning!


 


Had a very busy weekend, FIL's b'day, SisIL here 2 days, FIL was ornery and on his most obnoxious behavior streak (hmmm), ds showed up for the b'day dinner , so I had a nice dining partner as he sat next to me! ;O) One longggggg weekend.


Laundry today, icing the knee, reading my book, simple dinner of chicken schnitzels and noodles.  Coffee is here with me, she had a bath (ds did it and she looks all "puffed out" and smelling sweet. )


Tuesday, not much planned have to buy a present to bring to the Friday charity luncheon. 


Wed, not much planned unless Sally and I go clean ds's apartment,, but am thinking next Monday right before XMAS would be better. 


Thursday, dh& ds on business trip and I will be minding diva.  We will wrap all the XMAS presents while no one is here to walk in on us!  Thursday night is the Foreign wives club XMAS dinner, and I will attend that...  just women. It will be fun to meet new ladies and see my old friends if they come to it. I look forward to that.  


Friday,  charity luncheon for the Refugee Center ,,, that's what I need the present for,, am thinking to buy a large 6lb bag of tea and then some candies or if I could find some reasonably priced childrens books then maybe those. 


What are you up to this week...
or anything else you feel like jibber jabbering about...

very sad weekend here, a dear friend lost her son on saturday and my heart just aches for her. also my husband lost his aunt on saturday too. so, we were not in a very festive mood.
if dd is off one day this week i am going to town to get a haircut and spend the day with her.
have to go to the church on thursday for a meeting which might not go to well. keep your fingers crossed it's a sticky situation with this lady.
other than that i have to address the Christmas cards today and do some holiday baking dd wants date and nut bread so will do that today. also have to bake a pecan pie for dh today.
the rest of the week i will either do laundry or play on the computer and of course i will read.

I can just see you and coffe wrapping gifts LOL!


How about a warm blanket or two??


So here this week...Can you say BURRRRR!!!


we are in the -40c and f . Last night Edmonton Alberta set a record low. -50's c with the windchill. too cold for man or beast! They were the coldest place on earth last night. We usually get that weather in a couple days...BURRRRRRRRR!


Dh is home. no rig moves today. funny they said a warmer than average winter. I was kinda expection this though. The summer was cold so we never really warmed up.


Thomas has gone to work. can you imagine his girlfriend has no winter boots?? She said she never goes out. Well she wet to work with thomas. She also drives to work two towns over monday to friday. Part of her trip is rural. So i gave her my muk luks to wear. She took her slippers to work and loves them. sadly she has none here now. I told thomas what size she wore. maybe she will get some from santa. He family is far from poor...leaves me to wonder about some people!


Aj is coming on saturday. Today he goes to the dr. You see he again is having breathing trouble. the surgery area on his throat is growing again. They said the last surgery wasdone wrong...he may have to get surgery and/or be on disability. he is 21 this year. so sad!


Arliss wrote me to send tools for christmas LOL He will get money. the cost of shipping will be too high.


That is all we know of the boys this week.


All the decorating is done for christmas.....even the free deer has new lights.


speaking of deer we have to get the deer up to the butchers yet. Never enough hours.


I have to call in my perscriptions for grant to get tomorrow. He also has to get womans products. yes he offered. I think he just does not want me out alone in this.
