Re: It's November! (poll)

  • Any big plans this month?

    Nothing major

     

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?

    We decided to host it since we couldn't really plan anything for December/Christmas. It is only our parents, our brothers and their others, and we're looking at 19 people.

     

    When do you start your holiday shopping?

    I have started doing some. I am making some jams, jellies, relishes, DIY crafty stuff for some of the adults, and I have the kiddos started.

     

  • Trick or Treeting this weekend

    Trans Siberian Orchestra next weekend with DH cousin and his GF, then dinner hopefully.

    I need to go in and get the wart removed on my thumb for a 3rd time! Calling today to make an appointment.

    Thanksgiving!  No traveling. Not sure where it will be

     

  • Over Veterans day we're going to our friends' home (about 2 hours away) to see them one last time before they have their baby (they are in their late 30s and tried a while to have a baby, so we are super stoked for them!).  Other than that no huge plans.

    For Thanksgiving we don't really travel, my family is about an hour and 15 minutes away and his family is about 40 minutes away.  It should be nice having that long weekend.

    Actually, since we weren't getting trick-or-treaters DH and I went to Walmart last night and started Christmas shopping.  We have my mom, his niece and my niece taken care of.  Boom!  I love Christmas shopping.

  • Any big plans this month? Taking a trip on Thanksgiving break.

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving? From above, yes I am :) We're going to Orlando with friends and going to the Wizard World of Harry Potter. I'm so excited!

    When do you start your holiday shopping? Usually I start at the craft fair that is in town next weekend. I'm skipping Black Friday this year so I guess better get on the ball.

    Happiest place on Earth!

  • Any big plans this month?  Yes!  DH and I are going away for a long weekend sans Janie.

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?  Yes.  DH's brother and wife and baby come here every Thanksgiving so we'll spend it up at MILs.  This is going to be our first overnight there with Jane.

    When do you start your holiday shopping?  My SIL sometimes go to the outlets across the street from MIL over T-giving.
  • Any big plans this month?

    Not that I can think of.

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?

    No--my family is all here and now DH's mom is here too (even if not, we wouldn't travel to CA).

    When do you start your holiday shopping?

    I actually had stuff for Taryn for this Christmas before last Christmas.

  • Any big plans this month?
    I feel like this is the month we'll kick into high gear with baby stuff! My shower is on the 12th, then we'll make the shift with the furniture in the guest room/office/nursery, get the nursery together, etc. I'm anxious to get started and excited to have some down time to do it, we've been really busy lately.

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?
    Staying local for Thanksgiving, I probably shouldn't be traveling at that point anyway!

    When do you start your holiday shopping?
    I usually don't start until after Thanksgiving, sometimes shortly before. I haven't even thought about it and am already overwhelmed with trying to think of stuff! I have no ideas for anyone.

  • Any big plans this month?

     Shop til I drop.

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?

     Nope. Most of our family is local.

    When do you start your holiday shopping? 

    I've already picked up a few things, but DH has the day off Saturday so we are going to go on a Christmas shopping date.

  • Any big plans this month? Kayleigh and I are leaving tomorrow for a 10 day trip to my parents in AZ! Really excited about the trip but dreading the 3 hour flight since we're both getting over colds.

     Will you travel for Thanksgiving? We're going to Dh's coworkers and fiancees. They live 45 minutes way and in snow/ice on some parts of the road like last year it'll feel like a big long trip

     When do you start your holiday shopping?I got one present for Kayleigh already since it was 40% off and I had a $5 coupon but not sure about the other stuff. I don't like doing Christmas stuff til Thanksgiving isn't officially over.

  • Any big plans this month?
    DH's birthday is coming up, but nothing big happening.  Long weekend for Veteran's day will be nice-will get lots of work done on the deck/house/nursery.

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?
    staying here this year, but traveling for Christmas

    When do you start your holiday shopping?Started in the last few weeks, except for an item or two that I found earlier in the year and stored.

  • Any big plans this month? nope

     

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving? nope... our families live down the road. We usually do TG at my house Thurs and his house Fri.

     

    When do you start your holiday shopping?I need to! I'm actually thinking about taking advantage of Toys 'R Us' layaway for Nolan & my nieces.
  • Big plans:  Sawyer's first birthday party is on the 12th, but that's it, really, for plans.

    Traveling?  Nope; most all of Tyler's family lives locally, and my family rarely does anything for Thanksgiving other than a meal with me, my brother, and my parents.

    Holiday shopping:  It's different every year.  I mostly shop online, so I'll probably just start doing that in bits and pieces any time now, depending on the sales.

    Sawyer Marshall ~ November 16, 2010

  • Any big plans this month?  My u/s and my n/t scan are both this month! Also, my birthday is at the end of the month, not a huge deal but I get to go to one of my favorite restaurants. :)

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?  Just to our parents' houses.  My parents have a 2 pm dinner followed by slovenly watching football, so it works out for us to hit his mom's house for a 6 pm dinner.  That night, we'll head back to my mom's and sleep over to do Black Friday in the morning.

    When do you start your holiday shopping?   I buy Natalie a couple of items per week starting this week.  I start extended family on Black Friday.

  • Any big plans this month?  Nope

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?  We are intown with DH's family this year, but will travel for Christmas.

    When do you start your holiday shopping?  We've already purchased one gift. I plan to make bath crayons for 3 of the 4 nieces/nephews (other one is too old). I need to get cracking on gifts for others. I hope to make some crocheted ornaments this year.

  • Any big plans this month?  I have a huge list of things to do for the baby so that will be my focus this month.  And make/buy holiday gifts.

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?  We just decided a couple days ago to drive to MN to see my family.  I'll be 35 weeks and it will be a 13-14 hour drive, so we'll only go if I have no medical issues come up and the weather is good.

    When do you start your holiday shopping? I really should start now since December is going to be hectic.  I usually don't start until after Thanksgiving.

  • Any big plans this month?

    Only if you consider giving birth "big plans" LOL

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?

    Nope. Thanksgiving is at my mom's house, which is 10 mins from me. This year will be no different.

    Usually at the beginning of December.

  • Any big plans this month?  Not really.  DH mentioned going to Florida next week (he's going for work, and since it would be so simple to pack up a six month old...).  I'm backing away slowly from that one.Will you travel for Thanksgiving?  A little.  We go to SILs on Turkey day, and that's only 45 minutes.  We go to my moms the day after for Turkey Day #2, and that's about 2 2/12 hours.  When do you start your holiday shopping?  I already have.

    Katie, she got her ENGAGEMENT RING there during Midnight Maddness one year.  In fairness, they chose it that week but the store said "look, come back black friday and we'll give you a much better deal". 

    So, what you're saying is your very pregnant self doesn't want to come meet me for some 1am outlet shopping?! :)

     

  • 1. I have a client due on November 23 so I'm on call for most of the month. Hoping to get knocked up in November! I'm on CD 36 right now and still no AF (usually 32 day long cylces but I had that weird spotting thing) Testing tomorrow morning.

    2. Nope, we are having Thanksgiving here.

    3. The day before Christmas. :-)

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving? Yes, we are going to NJ/PA for Thanksgiving.  We are having a birthday party for the twins on the 26th (my birthday...lol).  I hate traveling for Thanksgiving because there is so much traffic!

     

    When do you start your holiday shopping?Dh and I are going to start discussing gifts.  We arent getting the kids much cause money is tight!
  • 1. Any big plans this month?  Just lots of little things... ILs are coming to visit this weekend, a bridesmaid dress fitting, working on Lily's room, etc

  • Any big plans this month? Nope, plans are to lay low and adjust to our life with a new baby!

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving? That is still TBD. We planned on staying home and going to someone's house (all family is going out of town). However, my Grandma's cancer has returned so we are thinking about going to VA to see her. I'm thinking we will stay home and visit her in Jan. though.

    When do you start your holiday shopping? I haven't even begun to think about Christmas yet....I don't know when I will start this year.

  • Any big plans this month?

    I have my anatomy scan tomorrow. I'm hosting a friend's baby shower on Nov 20.

     

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?

    Nope.  Luckily my parents and IL live within an hours drive of us.

     

    When do you start your holiday shopping?

     

    My family is more into exchanging cards than gifts, so I really don't have to do holiday shopping.

  • Any big plans this month? Just 2 weddings this weekend.

     

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving? Not sure what the plan is yet for Thanksgiving. Most of our family is in town, so we probably won't be traveling too far.

     

    When do you start your holiday shopping? Usually the day after Thanksgiving, unless I see something perfect for someone before then.

  • Any big plans this month? Hmm, every weekend is jam packed! Scentsy party, birthday parties, baby showers, travel to Orlando next weekend for work, and travel to RI for Thanksgiving! Oh, and waiting on an offer for a new jobby job..woot!

    When do you start your holiday shopping? I am probably going to start next weekend in Orlando...love the outlets there!

  • Any big plans this month?
    My baby girl's first birthday!!!  Scary that it's coming up soon.

    Will you travel for Thanksgiving?
    No.  We go to the North side of Chicago for DH's family and then not sure about my family yet.

    When do you start your holiday shopping?
    Ugh... I so need to start as I usually procrastinate this.  But I have NO idea what to do and where to start!
