**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**

DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know

It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members.

I have a pretty stereotypical image of Texas which probably isn't fair.

DH always says I fit very well in Austin because of my "tree hugging liberal hippie views". I don't necessarily agree with him on that, I actually am much more conservative now than I was in my 20's, but Austin tends to be much more liberal/democratic than the rest of the state. I'm not sure about the San Antonio area.

I hope whatever happens, it works out best for your family!

I've still got to go and get Zeph's DSiXL from the ILs once the check for it gets here.

no, not bad at all. I'm waiting for my SIL to text me back on whether or not my IL's might like a photo calendar since I got them mugs last year. So far I am getting 1 mug w/ the ghiredelli chocolates for my grandmother and then 2 regular mugs for my parents. I'm not real concerned with the cost since as of right now that's all I'm getting my parents, but its always nice to grab a good deal!!

I am itching to wrap presents, but i haven't bought the gift wrap yet. And i normally take a day off mid-December to wrap, clean the house and do any last minute shopping, but right now I don't have one scheduled off, so we'll have to see when it happens...

Don't you love how easy we make it on the guys for us??

Did I mention that DH bought me a new oven!!! I am so excited! Its being delivered Dec. 17th. So I guess I'll be doing all my baking that weekend to try it out before the big Christmas dinner. I told DH I assumed it was my christmas gift and he just winked and said yes. So I don't know what that means. I won't be disappointed if it is the only gift, it was a pricier one that I had wanted, its a double oven, stainless steel. I did buy myself a new cardigan sweater and cami at New York & Company this weekend while shopping that i had intended on putting under the tree for myself, and I have a bluetooth keyboard for my ipad sitting in my amazon shopping cart I'm still mulling over.
