Abby was up most of the afternoon then i see she cut a third tooth her upper... she is in good spirits laughing and giggling but wouldn't sleep...

Ok I am going to try and post some of my cards

Good afternoon/evening all
I put a homemade lasagna from the freezer at 300 to heat for supper while I went to run my boxing class. I came home to a dried out crispy mess. No one in the house had noticed that it was smelling overdone . Oh well, it got eaten anyways!
I got my cuts from a Canadian swap I do today. Wow! Some beautiful work! I now understand why some people love their Imagine machines. If they weren't discontinued, I might consider getting one! The cuts done with the imagine were phenomenal.
Janis Hot water heaters can be a pain! We had to replace ours a few years back. We replaced it with an on-command system. It had a 10 yr warranty. The area we lived in had HORRIBLY hard water. We double checked with the company and water quality problems were even covered under the warranty! We had it changed once while we still lived there and were told the warranty started over with the new heater! Next time we need to replace, we will definitely go that way again!
Nancy I'm glad teething isn't a huge issue for little Abby!
Joy Sounds like a full day for you. Good thing you were home safe and sound before the rain.
It sure will take me a while to get used to all the increased (but wonderful) traffic on this post!
Take care
Laura

Hi all.

Nancy, I love your cards! So cute! On my large list of things to do.

Janis, so glad your water heater is working and you have water. Last Saturday a warter main broke down the street and we were without water for about 6 hours. was so happy when it came back on.

Sandra, glad you had a nice time with your friends last night. it is nice to get out with friends and relax now and then. Rejuvinates you.

Welcome to all the new ones. This is a fun thread. So glad I joined it.

Talk to you all later!

Nancy, the cards look great, and thanks for the offer to cut out some teddybears for me, will have a good look at the cartridge again :) I was interested to read that cut flowers are expensive in your part of the world too.

Well I went to the dentist today for a scale and polish and half way through I said to her that I thought she was going to pull a filling out and she laughed. Well a few minutes later, bingo, she pulled out a filling!!! Think she felt really bad!! I had to wait for my dentist to come in and he did a quick repair job for me, it couldn't be left until my appointment next week. So it ended up costing me a lot more money that I had bargained for but at least it is done. I was only at the dentist yesterday, he did not expect to see me again so soon LOL.

Heard from DS, he is having a lovely time camping with his friends :)

Oh Debbie, my mouth hurts for you! I had a crown put on last week. I don't handle the dentist chair very well.

Last night about 10 p.m. Jill decided to come home for Thanksgiving!!!! She has a friend who is a motorcycle racer (his team won the Baja 1000 last week!). He lives up here, but stays with her quite a bit when he is in that area. He is driving home today and she is coming with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We haven't told anyone, only DH and I know. We decided to surprise everyone. She will bring Jeffie and leave him until Christmas when she drives back up. That was the hard part for her, leaving the dog. She will fly back home Saturday morning, so it is a short visit, but she has not been here for Thanksgiving since she moved to CA maybe five years ago.

My first name is Donna.

Well my student was back at school today which is good as they had Thanksgiving activities & didn't want her to miss out! Was so cute to see them all dressed up in their paper bag 'Native American' costumes & headbands with feathers on them too! They ate apple sauce, corn bread, & popcorn. Was very cute.

So glad to be home now & no more work until Monday. Yay for a super long weekend!

Do the black friday ads come in the paper tomorrow, or is it today? I think it is tomorrow right? I might need to hit Kohls at midnight on Thansgiving I think!

AHHH... I hope she gets a puppy too cute

I hope you hear from DS soon

I think I would also worry not having any water.. glad DH and DS were able to install it

Wow!! if the dental Hygeniest (sp) pulled out the filling while cleaning she should have picked the tab up!
Glad you heard from DS

Just in case i don't get on Thanksgiving morning...

WISHING EVERYONE A HEALTHY SAFE THANKSGIVING

Thanks, Donna...

Debbie, I agree with Nancy...that hygienist should help pick up that tab!

Joy, sorry your dental work gave you some problems. You sound like me, I am always *white knuckled* when I sit in the dentist chair...speaking of that I should make an appt!

Nancy, the cards you created are adorable! Love the bears...and so would my mom. She always had a thing for bears. May have to look for that cart.

I made three pies today...two pumpkin and one apple crumb. I made a pecan pie with a homemade butter crust(my first!) and it turned out wonderful. We couldn't resist and we cut into it tonight!

Our oldest DS is coming to spend the night tonight(his GF flew to see her brother our midwest)and go to our DD's inlaws grandma's house. Then both oldest and youngest head for the mountains of VA to camping. What will I do all weekend!?

Thinking of our DS tonight and his Thanksgiving, wondering what the Marines do with the Recruits on Thanksgiving?

Enjoy your evening and have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, wish it was a holiday that we celebrated here!

The dental hygienist did feel really bad about my filling being pulled out LOL, in all fairness there must have been an underlying problem with it for it to have happened so I can't reallly blame her but it was just annoying that I had to pay out money that I was not budgeting for but at least it is now done and I don't have to worry about it - I hate going to the dentist!!! If losing my filling that way was not embarrassing enough, I have a problem with those rolled up cotton wool balls that they put in your mouth, they literally make me want to throw up. I can't tell you how close I came yesterday to throwing up, the dentist got it out as quick as possible LOL but then when I stopped heaving wanted to put another one in!!! Yuck, yuck, yuck!!!!

I told DS that I wanted an sms from him everyday just to know that he is safe and well and he has been very good about sending one and I am amazed at how long they are, telling me all his news, even to what he is eating for meals LOL. That boy knows his Mom too well LOL, he knows I like the details!!! He really seems to be having a good time with lots of fun activities.

The new puppy will only be purchased next week some time, as DD is going away for the weekend. Can't wait to see what she decides on.

Joy, that is cute that Jeffie is coming to you for a holiday it must be so difficult to keep the secret but at least it is not for too long and I am sure everyone will be thrilled.

DD was going to a special function this weekend with Heston Blumenthal as the star guest and he has sadly had to pull out from attending as two of his top chefs were killed in Hong Kong on Tuesday in an accident. Perfectly understandable that he would cancel due to the sad circumstances but nevertheless DD is very disappointed at not seeing him. Hopefully he will plan another visit here soon.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jill and Jeffie made it in the door about 1 a.m.! So good to see Jill. And Jeffie, too.

Then, DH was awake by about 4:45, got up and 5 a.m. and went to Kmart for a TV, but the tickets for them were all gone already when he got there, so he was back home by a bit after 6 a.m. Back to WalMart for their guaranteed sale.

BUT, we only got about 3 hours of sleep last night. I am about to crash.

I have a turkey in our oven, a turkey in Megan's oven (I had to get two small ones and I could not find a BIG one), dressing in two different crock pots. As soon as the turkey's are done, I am taking a nap. I am ready right now, but if I sleep now, the turkeys will burn.

Yes, Sharon. I guess I call it dressing when it is not stuffed in a turkey.

I did get a nap in, but not a long enough one. No one was watching Jeffie, and he came in with a mouse trap in his mouth.

I think it will be a long month between now and Christmas!
