Monday, Dec. 11th question

[MissHoneychurch]

Do you have your Christmas presents together already?

[billyskank]

1. Yes

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Me too

:D

I am soooo proud of myself :rofl:


How was your weekend?

[billyskank]

4. I keep it real simple

I just get presents for my mum and brother. My dad never gets me a present nowadays since he remarried (he has new family now :eyes:) so after a few years of non-reciprocation I gave up buying presents for him. I never knew what to get him anyway, so I just send him a card instead.

My weekend was ok. Found out on Saturday that I can use the trade-in value of my car to settle the finance, so early in the new year I will be getting a new car I think. Also went into town and found that there was a market on, with fairground rides and stuff. I took a couple of pictures and posted a thread about it:

Yesterday wasn't so great, I didn't feel so good, so I stayed in and did some things with my computer.

[MissHoneychurch]

5. I saw those pictures

they are pretty cool.

I stayed home yesterday as well. But I did some stuff Saturday. It felt good to do nothing yesterday.

I only need Christmas presents for my mom, her bf, my brother, my two grandmas and my closest co-workers (we always give each other a small present for Christmas).

[Callalily]

13. Sorry to hear that

you weren't feeling well yesterday. Hopefully today is better.

Also sorry to hear about your dad. Some parents just check-out like that sometimes. I haven't spoken to my dad in at least four years. No animosity, it's just best that way.

Car purchasing is so stressful. It's something that I should be seriously thinking about, but I keep putting it off. It's so necessary to have a car here. Ugh!

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[billyskank]

14. Hey Fugue

:*

How are you? :hug:

:loveya:

[Callalily]

26. Oh I'm fine,

for a Monday that is. A little tired but fine.

And how's your day going?

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[billyskank]

29. Struggling with XML stylesheets

I've never used them before. Best not to ask. :rofl:

:hug:

[Callalily]

30. XLM style sheets?

Have not fear, I won't ask. Still trying to fire up my brain.

[Guava Jelly]

3. Nope

in case you missed it I dedecated a song to you in a thread below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLVKh_HF5Zg
Weezer - Island in the sun
complete with kittens, puppys, lions ,panthers, bears, and monkeys
I'll just paste it here so you don't have to hunt it down.

Oh and good morning MissH

[MissHoneychurch]

6. Thanks GoP

I will check it out tonight when I get home.

I saw that dedication thread but didn't know you dedicated one for me. :loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

7. You are one of my bestest buddy's

How could i not?
:loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

8. Don't ask me

:shrug:



:loveya:

[NMMNG]

9. I have my family gifts together

:shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. I am proud of you

any wishes for yourself?

[NMMNG]

37. A hassle free trip to and from my family's place

No weather delays, no BS with airport security, no lost luggage, no silliness aboard the planes, etc.

[Callalily]

11. I guess, technically

yes. I only exchange gifts with my two best friends. One present is bought, and the other friend, well, I'm giving a donation to her favorite charity in her honor.

Went to a Cajun Christmas party Saturday night. Had a agreat time and ate far too many wonderful foods, but I don't care.

Seems like everyone took Sunday off. I did stuff around the house and prepared an appetizer for an after work party.

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[billyskank]

12. ....

:hug:

:loveya:

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Wonderful food is always good

And Christmas time is definitely not the time to start a diet :)

I was lazy yesterday. Saturday I went downtown and a friend and I had some food and Glühwein at the Christmas Market


:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Callalily]

27. Your Saturday

does sound like fun. And yes, I agree with you. The holiday season is no time to worry about food consumptin.

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

16. Still working on it

but the mail order teas have been ordered. I just have to figure out what else to give to those certain people. Still awaiting inspiration. :think:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. You mean

you need a hint what to give me??

:P

[Brewman_Jax]

20. A hint is good

[MissHoneychurch]

22. ...

:evilgrin:

[puerco-bellies]

40. Holy-Crap! I gotta get started on it.

Ali, (My GF) won't let me buy her one. She wants me to make her gift. I was waiting for a NICE piece of Kingman Az turquoise I've already ordered to arrive. I do need to get started on the setting or I'm a dead-man. Last year she wanted a painting (I dabble in Chinese Water colors) but I got her a store bought gift.. bad decision. This year I will not make the same mistake!

On edit: I intended to reply to the OP.

[SPKrazy]

17. Not Yet

need to work on that quick

next week off to Colorado to see family and celebrate Christmas

:P

[MissHoneychurch]

19. So you have one week left to get everything together?

you better hurry :D

[SPKrazy]

21. I Know!

bad procrastinator

can't get people to tell me what they want

so I guess they'll get what I get them

:shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

23. Their problem if they like it or not

:D

But I am the same. I barely have any wishes. Last year I had a big one and I got what I wanted. This year I have no special wish but I am sure my family members will come up with something I like. Books are always a good thing :D

[buddhamama]

24. Hi MHC,

to answer your question: no, i have not completed my x-mas shopping.

i am probably the only Mother of an 11 yr old boy who is too disinterested in x-mas to even compose a short list of wants.

i have a few ideas and i have bought of a couple of things already, but it is difficult without his input. :hi: :)

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Good morning buddhamama

:hi:

WOW, that must be really tough!!! I feel with you. When I was a nanny I was glad "my" little boy (7 years at that time) wa so much into Star Wars. Helped me a lot :D


:loveya:

[crim son]

28. I've only bought one present thus far.

I'm sorry you reminded me. :P

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Ooops

:blush:

:rofl:

[Lavender Brown]

31. Not even close

I took today off to go shopping!

[MissHoneychurch]

33. Lemme guess

tonight you will be ready to kill everybody who mentions the word "Christmas"

[Lavender Brown]

36. Nah

It wasn't that crazy at the mall, and although I didn't really buy a lot, we had a nice lunch. :)

[QMPMom]

34. I have two bought. That's it.

[MissHoneychurch]

35. Out of how many?

:D

[BarenakedLady]

38. No

And my daughter's birthday is on Thursday, and I've done nothing for that either. I suck! x(

[Mutley]

39. Nope.

I've bought one thing.

Many more to go. :cry:

I hate Christmas shopping.

[In_The_Wind]

41. 1/3 done

I haven't a clue about what to buy for the folks back home.

[Phillycat]

42. Everything is finished, and the cards went out yesterday.

*whew*

[Left Is Write]

43. Most of them.

I have two things being engraved that I have to pick up later this week.
