One Step at a Time-December 2016

Sad to hear that Carrie Fisher had a heart attack. It sure doesn't sound good.

I was talking to one of the foremen today. He knew that I liked to drink. He & his wife like to drink. We all went to a concert once and she & we were all drunk except my hubby. Anyway, I have told him that I wasn't drinking. But, he mentioned about if I was going to have champagne tomorrow. I told him no that I wasn't drinking. He asked me how long was I going to do this. Sigh..........I just said that I am very happy that I don't wake up with that headache anymore.

Good for you Nora! Rusty, you're causing me anxiety with the last minute shopping! I do hope you get it all done.
So cats outta the bag! Hubby is in the attic right now trying to find the kids cradle that my parent bought when Erin was born. He wants to give it to them tonight. I don't know. I hope they want it. Dan made the announcement after dinner and as i suspected his mom was suspicious but the guys were totally clueless! It was fun to watch. Everyone was so excited. We got a calendar for June and wrote down what day, weight and sex we think the baby will be. Of course we ate way too much.
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas!

I love Christmas eve more than Christmas, wishing everyone a peaceful AF Day

Merry Christmas to everyone! I got all my shopping done and most of the presents wrapped last night. Still have to get something for my puppy though. He is going to love ripping up the paper the most

Playing bingo this morning with my twin sister and mom this morning. Then we will have lunch. It's been a very stressful year but I seriously can't complain. I am still sober and very blessed in so many ways.

I hope you all have a sober and very blessed and safe Christmas!

Merry Christmas Steppers and all who drops in.

I had Vivian yesterday and she was in a prankster mood! She borrowed my glue gun and glued a quarter to the floor and told her mom to pick it up..........Then she borrowed my phone and prank called her dad (like he wouldn't identify my #) confirming his order for
10 pizzas
9 toppings
9 ice creams
9 popsicles totalling the bill to $631 and asked if she would get a tip for it. It was so funny listening to her disguising her voice.

My knee has gotten pretty bad and I think the long drive exacerbated it. I called my old dr. here and she doesn't take my insurance, so went into a walk-in clinic, got an x-ray and recommended a knee replacement. Yay! it will happen fairly quickly, just have to sit down with orthopedics. More pain initially, but looking forward to 6 week post op time.

I bought Vivian a mermaid suit with a pretty sturdy tail in pink. I bought Andrea a ROOMBA and Vivian wanted me to try it out and I realized I needed it more than Andrea. I couldn't find anymore so got a rain check for one for after they re-stock. I went to Target early this a.m. for wrapping paper and saw a cute top hat that lights up, she loves dressing up so I added a sequined skirt and sparkly shoes. Note, I didn't think algorithms were taught in the 2nd grade, but they do.

She loves my apartment, but thinks it's a little small, but it has a 2 story spaceship in the playground that she thinks is very cool.

Nora, good luck on your shopping trip.
Liz, what an amazing Christmas this is for you. When do you think you'll stop smiling?:congratulatory:
Pauly, have a wonderful time with your family.
Merry Christmas, Techie and everyone.

Happy Christmas special friends. I hope you all had a very precious day with your loved ones.

I was thinking of you all.

Good morning. How was everyone's weekend? I had a wonderful busy holiday! I was so tired when I got home last night. Went to bed early. I may be heading over to the mall today with my sister. I'm kinda rethinking it. I bought hubby a sweater in the wrong size and it needs to be returned. It's supposed to rain all day.
I'm confused as to whether this is a holiday or not. Hubby and CJ are working Mark and I are off? Hubby asked me if I was going food shopping today? Seriously? I've got enough leftovers to cover the week!
So CJ bought the family a game called "speak out". You put a mouthpiece in and try and say phrases and your team has to guess what your saying. We played yesterday and we laughed so hard, we were crying. Can I tell you how good that felt? So much fun. Joe was the best! He's such a good egg and gets along well with my family. It warms my heart!
Happy AF Monday!
