    I have a month off from school so I am able to post now instead of lurking at night!

    Something unrelated to the current conversation. I have no idea on what I want for Christmas. DH keeps on asking me what I want and I cannot for the life of me, decide on something that I would like. I don't really want any jewelry or any electronics (besides a macbook pro, but that isn't going to happen). I need some motivation ladies!

    I want a Mia Clarisonic (the face scrubbers), a cloth Coach iPad cover ($98 and I have a coupon for 25% off), the complete Law & Order series (in spite of what Tiffany thinks about it Stick out tongue ), the complete Star Wars saga on blu ray, iTunes gift cards and tickets to when A&M and Tech play their basketball game in College Station (ps:  it's Jan. 14th which is a Saturday and like at 11 AM so you guys could make it very easily from where you are).  

    BTW, I don't remember if I said this here or not, but Bill said his parents have a great idea for a gift for me from them.  I could resist and asked if it was a cow platter to go with the fish platter that is sister got me a couple of years ago.  I just couldn't help myself.

    I'm not sure what the difference is between the Mia and Mia 2 that qvc has, but qvc had a really good deal on them over Thanksgiving and now they are $136 but you get so much more with the qvc deal, IMO.  Might want to pass that along to Santa.

    Nicole- I had a really hard time coming up with gifts this year too.  In fact I just said screw the gifts but DH was not having it.  I would love a kindle, clarisonic dodad, a couch (yeah, not happening), EA Sports Active 2 (I'm not suggesting this until DH gets his wii fit next week), Sunday Brunch either at the Wildwood Inn or Omni in FW.  Most things I want are "experiences" rather than things so I had to pull most of the above out of a hat.

  • Well, on a lighter note... my Ultimate Oreo Cookie Brownie Bars won our competitive bakeoff challenge at my office today!

    The prize is a company t-shirt, nothing big...but I am shocked.  I didn't think they were that great.

  • Hi Nicole! Do you like to cook? DH requested from me a list of cookbooks I want. I had to narrow it down to 5 from 24, lol. I asked my parents for gift cards for clothes. How about something relaxing since your program is so stressful? I don't like massages, but a couple days before the wedding I had a facial, and it was sooo relaxing.

    I totally get what you're saying! All I can think of that I want is jewelry and a purse from the Kardashian Kollection. I cant think of anything else, since everything we need we put on our list that we gave his parents.(she makes all of his siblings and spouses do it every year) I'm thinking maybe the One Tree Hill DVD set, even though I've already watched all of them on Netflix, I'm just waiting for season 9, January 11th.Yes

  • Wow this board is busy today.  Yay Deepthi! That?s an awesome early Christmas present!   Happy early birthday anna J you know ? you can always go get a meeting with an artist and have him sketch you something? Or do you have a friend that?s artistic? i drew something up for my friend and he took it to an artist to have it drawn on. Sometimes finding someone who knows you better can portray what you want in a way that's "you".   Stephie! Wish ben a happy birthday for me J (yes from someone he doesn?t know) haha   As far as the convo between Bri and Sara - i think i'm going to stay out of it.
    I will say though - my name is spelled incorrectly everyday....i probably hit double digits every day. I just started ignoring it....

    Ever since i was like 4 my family always took us to a special needs home, or an orphanage. We would go the week of christmas and give out gifts. I didn't get to go last year and i was super disappointed. So i tried to go pull a name off an angel tree. It's sad - because i couldnt afford to give anything on any of the peoples lists they all had ridiculous lists. Oh well - maybe this year.

    There is a form, or actually a process, you go through in order to be declared independent before the age of 23 or 24 or whatever the age was then for financial purposes.  I was out of the house before I graduated high school, neither my mom nor my dad was supporting me in any way and I didn't have contact with my mom and hardly saw my dad, maybe twice a year and it was because in my mind at the time, for me to see my grandparents I had to see my dad as they live in the same small city so it's hard to not see one without seeing the other.  My dad would not have anything to do with me for months one year just because I asked if he would be willing to help with the tax info.  "Because you've had contact with one of your parents in the last year, you are still considered dependent."  It was a bust with NCTC and UNT and I applied for it every year. 

    That bites!

    It will take me an entire week of boot camp to work them off, I think.  They are very, very sinful.

    I just looked at the picture and, holy cow, that looks appealing and I'm not an Oreo person.  I might have to make these for the kids next Thursday.

    Hrm, maybe I need to stay away from them.  I may eat the whole dish of em.  

    Speaking of bootcamp, we have 2 Christmas parties to attend tonight so no boot camp for us.  I was going to go this morning, had everything laid out, alarm set for 4:30.  Pretty sure I just turned it off, although I don't remember.  Guess that means I have to get up and go tomorrow instead of sleeping in on my day off.  :(

    Hopefully we will not be stuck in the classroom again... I wasn't a big fan of that.

  • I dislike the new gmail.

    When I go to lunch, I want to take a break from work not get stopped 3 different times to be asked about something work related.  Just come find me in one hour!

    I was fine all day yesterday then about 7pm, bam, I was SORE!  Yeah, the classroom thing kind of sucked.  It may be that way until Christmas on indoor days though.

    I think my current layout is just too dark and I just don't have the time to change it right now.  My current colors are realllly dark grey, black and white and the themes that I've tried out all seem to be so close in color that it's hard for me to tell a difference.  I'm sure I'll get used to it but it just bugs me at the moment.

    Well, I'm no help there.  Most people don't like all the white space between messages.  But in the settings (gray gear at the upper right) you can change it between Comfortable, Cozy, and Compact.  To me, if it isn't Compact there is to much white space!

  • There's a certain task at work that I hate with a passion.  It's not the job itself, it's who it comes from and if you find a mistake on their end, the wrath of said person is never fun.  Seeing it in my box leads to a punch in the stomach.  I don't do this task often and somewhat AW'ish is that it was given to me 2 days before it's due, not the typical 3 hours before. 

    You have a login and password in order to do this and I have issues every.single.time I use the stupid thing and the people who fix this should know me well by now.  I have 3 login attempts, and I'm on my last one and I'm using the correct info (why do I know this?  because I wrote it down.  Bad, I know, but I always forget since I do it so rarely).  I think I'll wait until tomorrow to get another 3 shots plus I can't do it in 15 minutes.

  • So my jeep got keyed last night (badly) - i got to spend an hour after work standing in the cold talking to the cops. Oh joy.

    Only to find out today the security staff here at city place are too damn lazy to ACTUALLY look at the tapes...i know its on there. I was UNDER the god **** camera!

    I swear to lucifer if i find out who did it...i'm going to beat them to a pulp.
