Julian's Mom

I'll take your reccomendation and find it for a solo movie night.

I feel fat reading your work out schedule!

I'm not doing much baking this year. There really isn't anyone to eat it and I just end up finding it in the freezer in June.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

My sister stopped all communication with my parents a few years ago. It was very painful for my mother. I, therefore, feel for you.

p.s. Have you ever googled him? We used to do that with my sister, just to make sure she was okay.

Aw, what a wonderfully sickening little post, Meranda!Now I've got the girly giggles...and I'm supposed to be a b.i.t.c.h. Way to go.

I'll come!

We're having an early winter, too. And as the sole snow shoveller, it sucks!

I knew one girl in school while I was growing up and she lived in an apartment and that always fascinated me, too. Now, I'm looking at trying to move and have considered apartments...strange the way things come around.

Hang in there.

The whole thing just plain saddens me.

I heard about the possible AIDS cure on the news.Thanks for the details.

Smart dog...I can never wait, either.

I have worked so many Christmas Eves, I've lost count.

I think I'll stick with vodka.

I had a "discussion" yesterday with one of my daughter's teachers regarding the poem they recited during their Christmas concert (to make a long story short, it bothers me that the children do not learn that much about other culture's customs and holidays, particularly when there is a child in my daughter's class who does not celebrate Christmas). She views my saying "Happy Holidays" as "politically correct"...my point only was that there are so many "holidays" celebrated this time of year. And *that* alone is a reason for celebration.

Would you mind if I copied this and e-mailed it to her? It's put so well in this post.

That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.

Sounds like a lovely way for all of you to spend Christmas day.
