Hey gals!!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas!! I think I've gotten another cold (it's fairly mild) so I'm just kicking back & taking it easy. We got a new sofa, 20" flat screen tv, and sconce lights for the main salon area of the boat, so we're actually living out here now too for a change- we used to spend most of our time in the back cabin. Yesterday we moved the computer stuff (printer, modem) in here & it's much easier & more comfy now to get on the computer. I'm using a bed tray in the recliner right now. I would have probably made a chiropractor pass out with the way I was sitting before, LOL. I got to catch Rick on Fox Report on Christmas Eve - I actually got home in time to see the *entire* FR program! I also caught him Christmas day & yesterday...I believe. Greg was reporting today about the mad cow disease in WA.
Jayel- I believe I missed the sculpture story Rick had, but the sculpture sounds really moving. I think I caught Todd that day (Dec. 18) on FR- he did look good. I missed the Lou Dobbs report about the illegals. I would have to say "it figures" about what you said about the UCLA study & how they recommended that non-citizens be allowed to vote in CA. Argh. It just figures they would suggest that. I say, "fine- then UCLA can host these people in *their* homes and pay for all their kids & healthcare, etc." LMAO- I saw the bit about James Rosen on F&F that day- about his mother & all. He *is* really funny. You know what? Blogger was *really* super odd that day (the 24th). Your post actually showed up twice- I thought mine wasn't there, so I kept retyping and then did a "copy" & paste, and posted again. And again. And again. When I finally scrolled down, I noticed that I had like 8 posts below Sherry's. I have *no* idea why it's posting that way but I wish it'd stop, LOL!
Denise- Girl, I meant to reply to your post before- I've been so busy the last week or so at work. I wanted to send an e-card too. That would've been nice to send a general holiday card 'signed' by all of us to Rick and whomever else we wanted to.
Sherry- About the Survivor winner, I was sort of surprised- I was more hopeful that Sandra would win- and was a little surprised that Lil didn't get it for the sympathy factor. LOL, OK- what did you do to blogger? Why is your post from the 23rd at the top? It was funny, 'cause on the 24th, I didn't think anyone had posted yet & then I thought I was losing my posts- they were all below yours- LOL! I hope you had a great time at your parents house! I can't believe your hubby has to work on Christmas Day! :-( Congrats on the "A's" for your classes! That's great! AND congrats on the 30.6 lb total weight loss! :-) I *will* get back down to my maintenance weight- that's my New Year's resolution. Once I get over this cold, I'm going to excercise and NOTHING- not even Krispy Kremes will sway me from budging from my plan! :-) I'm sorry to hear that your temp job boss is a jerk. That's so mean and uncool to reprimand people like that- in front of everyone and not even giving people a chance. I guess he thinks he's perfect.... hang in there! Hopefully (and would like to think "fortunately") that type of boss is rare- he sounds like he's on the extreme. LOL about thinking of me when you saw Todd on last weekend- I *think* I caught that- but I'm not sure- this last week's been a blur. We were more busy than usual last weekend (with getting the sofa & lights & stuff). He sure has been missing in action.
Teri- I'm sorry you missed the quake, but glad you're OK! :-) I think I was sitting at my desk at work- but didn't feel it. You probably just thought you hit a pothole, LOL! Glad your kids were ok & did what they were told. I've always heard that animals act oddly before an earthquake....but what if your pet is just odd all of the time? ;-p The candlelight service sounds like it will be (was) beautiful!
Jen- Of course we noticed that it's been awhile since you've posted! Girl, you need to post more often! :-) Sonoma & Napa are considered wine country- but maybe Napa is more notable? They had reports that people in Sacramento (northeast of Sonoma) felt it, but I don't know. I suppose it just depends on the type of land you're on. They have lots of minor earthquakes around the towns of Clearlake and Humboldt. He probably knows where those towns are. Sonoma isn't too far from where we are- maybe 30 miles? What kind of dog do you have? I meant to ask you that before, but keep forgetting.... the "Santa tale" was cute- LOL, I think I would've been like "I'm not *your* little girl, Santa!" LOL. That would actually be kinda creepy to me. It sounded like fun though- good answer in the end! :-)
Nan-Wow, I'm just amazed that you felt that quake so much being 300 miles away. Never underestimate the power of mother nature! I don't think anyone felt it in our office- no one's commented on it at all. Of course, our family duly called us that night to "make sure we were ok", LOL! I have to laugh because neither of us felt it. I know they worry, though. They hear "earthquake in CA" and it's like Pavlov's Response- they call to make sure we're OK. Kevin's son didn't feel it in Fresno, but then again, maybe he wasn't really paying attention- LOL!
Anyway.....so I hope ya'll are having a good after-Christmas weekend! I had a long weekend (4 day) and have another next week- our company was super generous this year and gave us TWO four day weekends in a row! Not sure if that will ever happen again while I'm there, so I'm soaking it up for all it's worth. Oh yeah- my stepson is supposed to be proposing to his girlfriend tonight- I'll let ya'll know what happens. They won't get married till he's done with school (another 4 years)- which is a smart decision considering everything that they need to work out/work on in that time.
Later!!
