I'm only 2 hours away. :(  And Mom, Grandma and aunt get overly sensitive towards me because the divorce was final on 12/23... so it becomes this huge "is Brian okay?" party.  :hammer: :hammer:

Geez.  Been there done that.  Are you sure AZ is far enough???

Less than two weeks til I'm finished with school for good, assuming I don't decide in the future to pursue my engineering license.  Then it's a nice break for the holidays before I get to study study study for 10 months.

Lol @ all the birthdays.  In one month I have: wife, mom, sister, grandmother, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, grandmother-in-law, sister-in-law.  Fortunately a few of those are packed within a couple days, the families live close by, and we end up just partying hardy to celebrate.

I had to take my daughter to school this morning (I normally do it) but I was afraid last night that I wouldn't be able to see because of the eye thing.  My husband couldn't take her because he had to be at work first thing in the morning (had a meeting with his boss).  I was able to see but the whole white part of my eye looks like a blister.  It is puffy all around the iris and a "blister" sits on the bottom rim of my eye lid creating a bigger bubble.  It looks GROSS.  Absolutely disgusting.  I look like hell.

I have to dilate that eye and last night we couldn't find one pharmacy that had the dilating drops in stock so CVS ordered some.  I called my doctor this morning to ask if I really had to dilate my eye and he said I did so I called the pharmacy and they had gotten it in.  I had two pumpkin pies in the oven when I went to pick them up and I walked in just as the timer went off.  I timed it perfectly. 

When I called the doctor this morning to ask about the dilating drops (which sting like hell by the way, I don't remember them stinging before) I asked him about the blister thing on the white of my eye.  He said it was the medication he injected and that it would eventually dissipate.  Right now my eye is so sore, I don't remember it being so sore when I've had a shot before. 

On a good note, I am making a new recipe I found on allrecipes.com for ham and potato soup.  It has 5 stars and has been rated over 3000 times.  It sounds so YUMMY.  I'll post the link incase anyone is interested:  LINK

Oh yeah I have yet to buy ONE present.  Normally I am almost finished with Christmas shopping by now.

More brown than red, kind of in the middle.  Now, with grey sprinkled in for extra panache. 


Once upon a time....my "real" color was more brown than red too. Now my "real" color is more white than anything.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

BEG!  That recipe looks to die for.  I have bookmarked it.  Boyfriend just got his holiday ham from work (15 lbs).  We cut it up into bits and freeze it.  Matter of fact, we just finished last years.  This will be one of the first recipes I make with it.  Thank you!

I hate the beginning of December. I turn one year older but it is it is better then the alternative,

Hubby has the tree up and decorated , we have it well tied down as you know cats and shiny things.   I dug out the Memorrm. for the mantle and a Buddha wearing a Santa hat,

Xmas party on the 5 Th. our wedding anniversary,  I do hope to be able to go even for an hour or so.

This will be a difficult Holliday for us, with me on short turn disability our days of living a wild and fancy life style is over.   No more Burger King Splurges 2 times a week, it is now Hot Pockets for supper.

We had a big decision to make this year, do we buy presents for the family or get the 2 dogs and 2 cats their shots brought to date.   We chose those that depend on us for their lives and the little fellers are all set until next year.

 Kids will all get cards and some kind of unbreakable tree ornament with the year and their name on it.

Mom is special, with the winters so hard for her, all my coupon clipping will be used to fill her pantry to the top with food, and personal care products.,  

I will dig about in the back room for the decorations that we no longer use and on the 23 rd. go  to the cemetery's and find a way to work them in with the plantings and stone.

Not much fun being a semi-shut in, but, with my books, my fireplace, pets and family I had best enjoy this time, all too soon I will be able to get back to work   YIPPPPPPPPE

Funny all these late November to mid January birth days, late Feburary  to April must have a special time in our parents lives.-----For those that have cats that span in time is known as Kitten Season.

I would do the same thing if I had to Vesta.  The animals should come first in this instance.

Me too.

Kids are grown....and you are doing for your mom who needs something more than the kids do.

As far as the animals....you have to do whatever you need to for them....they are your babies.

Same here.  Spent $100 on me, $400 (and counting) on the critters.

Also called American and got a gift card for myself for when I need to say goodbye to Dad.

Update on the ham and potato recipe I posted earlier in this thread. It was so good. I give I five out of five stars (I served it with a sprinke of cheddar cheese on top). I think the chicken bullion is what put it over the top.

Very true.

All this talk about Nebraska makes me miss my sister & her family. She lives in Kearney. You would recognize some of the names of the restaurants they have a financial interst in. Old Chicago, Whiskey Creek & Country Kitchen.

My son's girlfriend is at UN-Kearney and grew up in Grand Island. She was here with him for Thanksgiving....she's on the track team ... a pole vaulter.....she vaults at about 13-14'.....yet she's barely 5' tall. She must just stick that thing and start flying. She was a competitive gymnast from a small child through high school.

One of the groomsmen when I got married, in another lifetime, has lived in Kearney since the mid 70's....
