How is your day and week winding down? Did it turn out to be fabulous or did it kind of fizzle or maybe just somewhere in between?

Hello everyone...Good Evening! Busy day and this is my first chance to get here. I red the posts but I don't think I remember everything. I do remember there was some good news for Rhonda and Nancy with their parents. I am glad both are doing better.

The NY Botanical Gardens train display was awesome. All the building and bridges were made out of twigs, leaves and everything found right there on the grounds. I lost count how many trains were going around it all...but it was more than enough to make all the kids there get very excited. Some of the buildings built with great detail were St Patrick's Cathedral, Yankee Stadium, Coney Island amusements as well as many different mansions and homes found in NYC and suburbs. There were 3 bridges..but I can only remember the Manhatten Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge. I wish DH got to see it too.

Got the lab results from my blood work and every thing is normal except the cholesterol. No surprises there but I didn't expect it to go up 100 points. Doctor wants me to try Zetia and I am hesitant but I have enough samples for 2 weeks and I should know if I have side effects within that time. We will see...

Nothing else for now. I do have to run and get ready for a Christmas Party. Always the way...either nothing to do or more than one thing in one day.

Have a nice evening all and stay warm.

OK, I took notes from the morning posts so I can address each of them. I'd never remember them all.


Patty, consider Rick's disappointment about his gift a real compliment! I'm amazed by how fast the month is going by too. Can't believe Rob will be 19 on the 19th. I don't have Christmas M&M's around, but the 2 kinds of Hershey's Kisses have been nagging me non-stop!


Susan, dinner last night sounds wonderful. Hope your weather improves soon. Will Otto go out in weather like that?


D-Deb, how is your kitchen organization project going? I would love to be as organized as you are. You could start a business or teach a class!! I did get my photos in a little better shape the last 2 nights, so that's a start.


Erin, I've decided not to bake for friends and neighbors this year. Everyone gets so much, some people are dieting, and a lot gets thrown away. It's too time consuming and expensive for that. I will bake for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner. All those tarps

The display today sounds fabulous! I love anything to do with architecture. Did you take pictures?


I'm sorry to hear your cholesterol went up so much. It's surprising with as much as you exercise and you seem to eat pretty well. Hope you don't have any side effects from the medicine and that it does the trick for you.

Your day sounded like a really nice one. Have a week-and-a-half of leave to use in a little over two weeks is a good "problem" to have. :-)

Thanks, Patty! When you have almost no short term memory, notes are essential.


Hope you have a lot of fun baking with your family members. I'm happy to hear you'll get Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. You've more than earned it.


I'm doing my best to get rid of those Hershey's Kisses. ;-)


I meant to thank you for your call the other day. It was late when I got the message, so I got sidetracked. I've thought several times lately

Busy and tiring day at work and when Paychex hadn't delivered our paychecks by 4PM I was getting a bit worried that we'd be going home without one!

Hey girl friends, how was everyones day today? I need to read and catch up on some of todays posts but it is going to have to wait until tomorrow. My eyes are giving out now. Busy day for me, no office today, yippie! We had an appointment with Verizon this morning and the installation guy was right on time..............8:00 just as promised. To make things even better it was our friend Richie so I knew we were in good hands. He was here all day and even stayed and locked up my house because I had to leave at 3:40 to take Katie to the barn. We now have Verizon Fios, 1 HD/DVR, 4 standard boxes, a new router for the computer and a wireless router for the lap top (s). Since I was gone when he left I never had a chance to tip him so I need to take care of that this week with a gift card to Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks. While he was here I managed to get the upstairs cleaned up nice, bathroom and 3 bedrooms. New linens, vacuums, dusting, washed the bathroom rugs, mended like 4 pairs of work pants that were piling, wrapped all the gifts that I have bought so far and did lots of laundry. My evening was pretty quiet since Billy and Bill went some sort of car dinner with our friend John and his son. My Rob did not want to go, rather he cleaned up the mess in his room from the Fios box install and then headed up to the shop to clean that. He has 2 cars to detail over the weekend and will head up there early tomorrow. I am going to head upstairs myself but just wanted to say hello to everyone. Catch up with you all in the morning over my tea!
