For Thanksgiving we're going to pamper ourselves at a shi shi hotel in Nashville..

Christmas.. traveling back to Chicago.. what am I avoiding? the malls

I'm still a busy bee racing against the deadline of christmas and I still haven't planned all of the presents I'm making. Since Randy and I both come from divorced homes we have four locations to travel to in four different cities. Thankfully they aren't more than an hour and a half apart from one another, but still. These holidays I'm avoiding my mother.

sucks to hear that. but on the up side of things, (insert positive encouragement here)... now's the time. sorry, I couldn't think of anything at the time.

oh, i got it:

if you ever wanted to start bee-keeping,
if you ever wanted to make a mountain out of mashed potatoes,
if you wanted to start learning how to play the bagpipes,
if you wanted to knit a replica Elvis jumpsuit out of cashmire,

you get the picture

I am excited for Christmas, going to visit my mom and grandma.... avoiding the malls, i hate the commericalism of the holiday

hope all is well!

Losing weight, making wife and kids happy, and avoiding extended family.

Hope that, even without your one and only, you have a good Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you very much for the info, really. I am re-setting my firewalls and partitioning my hard drive throughout the weekend.

Hope the rest of the week/weekend is great for you.

PS
How is the roomie sit. going? Bye!
