I like #12 though probably not on a beach 🙂
Also #2. Good luck picking one!Nothing going on here for Valentines either. We don’t really celebrate it all that much (occasionally we’ll do something but it’s not a regular thing). I do miss when my kids were little and they did those valentine cards and candy in school. I always thought it was really cute.
My nephew (he’s 14) wanted to get to school early (he hates school) to give a girl he likes a valentine card. I thought that was so sweet.
Sorry your going through that Copa. It sucks when you learn family is not what you thought. Some people in my family (on my dad’s side) are very judgmental, especially if you are overweight. It is so so important to them to be skinny (why, I have no idea). I’ve never been skinny! Anyway, I didn’t realize to the extent they were judgmental until I overheard a conversation one day. I now don’t really speak to most of those people. It was so hurtful what they said (even though it wasn’t to me personally). It’s like, now I know what they really think and what they are thinking every time they see me!
@theladyE, I am from around the bible belt originally. And I always felt…like I didn’t belong because I wasn’t sure about the whole thing. If your not christian (and their kind of christian) then I felt like people automatically didn’t really like you anymore. Not that I ever actually discussed this with people…except it is quite common for people to ask what church you go to over conversation. The older I got, the better I adjusted and didn’t feel so outcast (because I just didn’t care anymore). But, that bible belt…sure is special in it’s own way.
I personally don’t care what church or religion you practice and I don’t judge you for what your choice is, but I sure felt judged for a long time by the “christians”.
A Hindu wedding would be very interesting…I don’t really know much about that religion though. Do you know what it would entail @ MissDre?
My husband was raised baptist and I wasn’t raised in church at all. My mom was also raised baptist, my dad not in church because my grandfather, being raised catholic, didn’t believe anymore. Until he got really sick in which he found god again and started back to the catholic church.
I’d say i’m still on the fence about the whole thing. I did attend church one a month for a long time with my husband (Baptist) but I have to say I don’t like the way most baptist preachers preach. We eventually quit going and let our girls decide on their own about their beliefs. One is agnostic and the other is on the fence like me. I wouldn’t mind finding a non-denominational church to join just to have that community of people – we are still fairly new in the city we live in so it would be nice to just meet new people.
WE had my brother and his fam (Wife and two kids also 5 & 7) right after Xmas thru New Years day. I was sad to see them go but happy to have my house back! Couple that with our oldest really moving in with her boyfriend (don’t know what to think about that just yet) and I spent some of last week organizing and cleaning. It was so nice to have the house back to “normal”!
And @Portia, that sucks they ended up sick! My niece had a belly ache everyday at my house. I think she was just really tired from traveling and holidays and too much stuff going on! I hope they feel better soon 🙂
Oh – @thehizzy i have to say I love your dress too!
Loved catching up on everyone’s updates! I just returned to work today (which is when I generally read DW 🙂 Being on the computer all day at work – I don’t use it much at home. Having so much time off – I didn’t really want to return to work! But I’m excited for the new year. So Happy belated New Year everyone!
@MG – We are looking forward to trying all the things in Hawaii!
I feel lucky in that I haven’t had any run-ins with any exes. I don’t know how I haven’t. I once thought I saw one (the worst of the bunch) at a Wal-Mart and I turned and high-tailed it the other way so I don’t know if it was him or not. That was years ago. I don’t think I’d have the same reaction today but honestly don’t know (he was very manipulative and emotionally abusive).
It feels like a Friday today…I’m so ready for the weekend!
Thanks again @TheHizzy! I’ll add those to my list of places we’ve been looking. I feel like we have to get serious and book places soon.
That Great @Copa! I hope you enjoy your date.
My husband and I went on a date on Tuesday and saw the live performance musical “A Gentlemen’s Guide to Love and Murder” Tuesday. It was great! Except he’s not really into plays/musicals though he said he enjoyed it. It was just nice to get out on a date since we haven’t had a chance to go on one in a while.
Yes, recommendations would be great! We have our flights booked but not places to stay. We have also been looking at Air B&B. We are going for 10 days so will have to spend a bit more than 300 but that was a great price! And glad to know everything closes so early…kinda strange to me!
So, RadioStar, were the spam and egg sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls with jam good? I don’t recall ever trying spam though that’s not to say I haven’t. I suppose we will just have to give it a try!
It’s almost Friday guys! I have just a few X-mas things to shop for and then I’m done. And I can stay home (besides grocery shopping) and bake and relax (minus some cleaning). After next Thursday, we get two weeks off for winter break here at work so my brother and his family are coming to visit…I’m just getting excited for the end of the year, family visiting, x-mas, etc.
