    Good Morning!
    Today for me it's:
    Pick up around the house, mainly the rec. room. Awhile ago we purchased a rather large (7 ft. long) air hockey table and yesterday we put it together. The room is a mess so I plan to put everything back where it belongs and de-clutter some.
    Do one load of laundry.
    Rest.
    I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

    Morning

    It's been a lazy morning around here. DH and I have both just been sitting at our PC's drinking coffee and watching the news. As soon as we can get motivated to take showers and get dressed we'll be....

    *Headed out grocery shopping.... I'm dragging DH with me. I don't think he's been to a grocery store in over 6 months! LOL!
    *Trim the Christmas tree
    *Help DH put up the outside Christmas lights
    *Catch up on a ton of surveys that are waiting for me in my inbox

    Hope everyone has a good day!

    I am feeling a bit ickish this morning so I don't have a lot planned. I went to Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's house yesterday and before I left I started feeling a bit icky so I came on home and before I could even get home (about 20 miles) I was feeling like worse. I had a stomach bug for the rest of the night. I feel better today but still not 100%. I plan on just watching some television and reading and maybe pulling some winter weeds out of the flower beds later. We will have leftovers from my sister's house for lunch and supper and then probably an early night to bed.

    Have a great day everyone.

    I have to do a couple of loads of laundry. Need to straighten the house a bit and vacuum. Otherwise, a day of nothingness.

    Gonna be a day of leisure for us today. I plan to workout (oh my all those pieces of pie and whipped cream I ate yesterday!) and I *might* run into the next town over to exchange a couple of blouses that I bought at Bealls for the right size I really love them both and want to be sure and get the right sizes.... . Otherwise it's laziness and loving it here today.

    Oldest DD, her hubby and the three grandboys spent the night with us so we are just hanging out enjoying each others company, watching holiday CD's and eating Thanksgiving leftovers all day.

    Other than making a pancake breakfast this morning, I'm doing nothing but enjoying my family and a little computer time. Hubby and SIL will go hunting this afternoon and while the grandboys are napping, I will try to wrap a few of their gifts to put under the Christmas tree that I will put up tomarrow.

    After behaving absolutely wonderfully for all of yesterday, DS decided that he did not want to go to sleep last night and cry instead, so I was up until 2am and got up this morning at 6am. So plans for today:

    *Drinking lots of coffee (I'm on my second cup, LOL )
    *General cleaning and straightening up - we have guests coming tomorrow

    DH has a short day at work because it's only half a trading day (he's in a financial job, and gets to go home early when the markets close early or don't trade), and when he gets home we're going to start moving furniture. We've realized that we can't babyproof the "office" area as it is, so we're swapping a bunch of stuff around.

    So far:
    *Put dishes in the dishwasher
    *Showered and dressed
    *Cleaned out the cat box and the area around it
    *Cleaned off my desk

    Friday. Bah! I'm not feeling it lol.
    Dh & I were supposed to go shopping early this morning, but after driving home 4 hrs from the inlaws & not getting home until after 10pm (then having to take the dogs out, love on them, feed them, love on the cats, take the trash out, get the kids to bed....it was LATE by the time we got to bed) we just couldn't drag ourselves out of bed. The PX is having similar deals tomorrow so we'll try again tomorrow.

    Today dh & I were also supposed to put up our outside Christmas decorations ...but his scrooge of a boss decided that although he's worked EVERY Saturday in November and will work EVERY Saturday in December (with NO extra pay mind you) that he should work on Black Friday too Jerk! So now the kids are at their grandparents and I have the house to myself. Again.

    I do have laundry to do. I may go up to the attic & pull down some Christmas stuff. I haven't decided yet. I'm still feeling pretty grumpy.

    It's nice and sunny today and fairly mild.

    In addition to my normal daily routines I need to:
    Bring dd to work **done
    Wipe down the big & small appliances
    Clean off my desk
    Pay bills
    Plan next weeks menu
    Update & balance the checkbook
    Separate the turkey meat & freeze

    I've done one load of laundry & have it hanging and have another load in the washer.

    I went off to help DH on Applebee's in Riverview. He painted lights (they came in the wrong color) and I caulked wood rim in the diningroom. The building is coming together and we should be done next week. We worked til noon then he took me for lunch next door at Beef O'Brady's and home. I've got a pile of paperwork to do and a run to the bank. We'll have pork chops tonight than go to our local dancehall for a couple of hours of boot scooting.
    Tommorrow we've got a small handrail paint job to do then we're gonna pick up our tree.
