    Hi Ladies, my gawd its hard to ketchup when you miss a day or two...

    Dorkie, I need to do this asap... (((((Dorothy)))))....my heart hurts for what happened to you so young....by that babysitter. And your mind protected you for so many yrs by hiding it deep inside your brain....till you were in the hospital, and talked to the mother of that babysitter, and all of it cam flooding back. People are just crazy, can't understand why anyone would molest ANYONE, esp a young child. I'll give you a REAL hug soon, ok?

    Had a good but busy day and night. My  g'dau's party was actually fun....then I had my DD and family for dinner tonight, got to visit a lot too. Then I HAVE to have everything ready tomorrow for our big meal, but I am so darn tired. My DD brought birthday gifts for me, (my bday was in Sept!), but they were PURRFECT...travel things that I really can use and wanted. SO that was a nice surprise.

    How weird that so many of us had those hi winds. And all the christmas decorations blowng away. We were lucky with ours, nothing got broken. I still think its funny that the same day my DD and her family check out of the hotel, we will be checking into the SAME hotel to spend Christmas Eve. Weird! Wouldn't it be REALLY funny if we end up in their same room. Well, not REALLY funny, but ya know what i mean.

    Well dear girlfriends, sure hope this will be a nice Christmas for all!  Hmmmmm.... just saw our weather forecast, and looks like rain, rain, and MORE rain....next 4 days. Does anyone expect to have a white Christmas????

    Big Hugs!

    Kathy

    Good morning, Loungettes!  Put linens back on the clothesline yesterday after rinsing and spinning them, then it rained again!  But things look dry this ayem, so I'm hoping I can get the duvet out and dried and maybe another load of laundry done today.  Did some baking yesterday, had a wonderful time just puttering and cooking.  Ah, the joys of having a day at home! 

    Cammy--Hey, when you're driving down the road struggling to stay ON the road because of the wind, you find humor in odd stuff you see.  Love the book of "rules" your DD made up! That's a great way to spread the info about something like diabetes. 

    BBBBernie--I'm with you!  But I do both. . .

    Juliet--now I'm TOO warm!

    BBBBernie--LOL!!!!!

    ORLA--aha, now I can try that exercise routine and see if it helps!

    DorKable--enjoy having the hair and nails did!

    CynCyn--Yeah, the clothes sometimes freeze, but they dry, eventually.  My dryer broke down about 20 years ago.  Haven't felt the need to get it fixed yet.  Beans stuff is great, isn't it?  I found a great fleece jacket at Goodwill for $5.00 earlier this year, and it's wonderful. Hmmm, I've still got some gift certificates to Beans, need to look into using them.   You know the gizmo on the key chain that has the buttons to remotely lock and unlock the doors?  That's the fob.  Some newer cars don't use keys in the ignition, they have a button you push, and the car will start as long as you have the gizmo close enough (like in your pocket or purse). 

    Wahine--Maybe you should call the hotel and ask for that room, just for the fun of it!  Doesn't look like I'll have a white Christmas, but that's ok. When Christmas is white around here it's usually REALLY white, as in LOTS of snow! 

    Princess Glitter Sizzle's DOTD is the White Christmas

    Ingredients:

    1 fluid ounce heavy cream

    1 fluid ounce vodka

    1 fluid ounce peppermint schnapps

    1 fluid ounce white creme de cacao

    1 cup ice cubes

    1 small candy cane (optional)

    Directions:

    1.

    Pour the heavy cream, vodka, schnapps, and white creme de cacao into a cocktail shaker over ice. Cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into a chilled glass, and garnish with a mini candy cane to serve.

    Good morning girls!

    I am a bit overwhelmed right now, I never made it out shopping last night. I had planned on napping until 8pm or so but never got up. I woke up in the middle of the night with such pain, I can't stand it. I think I know the reason though. I taped the gauze into my bullet hole then wrapped myself in an ace bandage. I tore off the tape and took off the ace bandage without even getting out of bed. So now, I still have to shop, I have to put in at least four hours at work and clean my house, wrap the gifts. I think I might head out shortly instead of waiting until late tonight to go shopping. Otherwise, I wil be a bundle of nerves.

    Purple, welcome to our lounge! Pull up a bar stool and I will have our tenders get you a drink, what is your pleasure? And OMG, that poem was so beautiful, of course it made me cry. It was so well written and with the music, Silent Night, I could not stop boo-hoo'in.

    Bernie, another berry funny post you made about de horny reindeer! lol. Merry Christmas to you! It is Christmas eve day eve here in the states. i jest can't believe it is here.

    Kathy, I am glad you had such a nice time with your family and also that you found time to post.

    To the rest of you wonderful goils, wishing you all a Peaceful and happy day. And as Cammi said, a feel good day! I am looking forward to getting my dwinks on later in the day after I finish working. Ughhh, hate that i still have to work...I am not in de mood.

    LOVE to all of you special ladies ♥

    CheerS!

I also hate all that pain you are having, and wish there was something that could help you. Hey, how am I gonna give you a big hug next Sunday??? Wese gotta bix dat shitty titty and make it NOT hurt ennnny more.

    Hiya poiple!!! Glad Dotty fixed you up wid pitchers of dwinks!!!!

    NM, loved your post! So nice how you address everyone!

    Cami, wow dats a lotta baking!! Yummmm....

    Well our Christmas dinner went well today,but dang it was a lot of work!! Was so nice having all my family here though. That was the BEST turkey ever....sooooo moist and tasty...my DH did the turkey breast, and I did the ham and all the trimmings. That homemade carrot cake my DD surprised me with was heavenly!!! SO moist I couldn't tell where the cake stopped and the frosting started. Which is great for me, cause I don't usually like the cake part (except hers!).

    Now to get ready to go to the hotel tomorrow. Guess we'll let the big jolly red guy fill our stockings here on the mantle instead of taking them to the hotel!

    Just hoping and praying for everyone to have a real nice Christmas, and for those that need healing, to get better quickliest! OH, and a SPECHUAL Merry Christmas to our very special Tenders and Wenches, who have been so wunnerful to us all year! Shall we give them the day off, girls? I think we should let them jest relax on Christmas Day, if thats okay wid ebberyone. But come New Years......well lets jest say those Tenders will really be coming..(oops)! We will have a big banging celebration foah shuah!!!

    Big Christmas Wishes, and Hope you don't hafta do the Dishes....

    MISS FOGARTY'S CHRISTMAS CAKE

    As I sat in my window last evening,
    The letterman brought it to me
    A little gilt-edged invitation sayin'
    "Gilhooley come over to tea"
    I knew that the Fogarties sent it.
    So I went just for old friendships sake.
    The first think they gave me to tackle
    Was a slice of Miss Fogarty's cake.

    cho: There were plums and prunes and cherries,
    There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, too
    There was nutmeg, cloves and berries
    And a crust that was nailed on with glue
    There were caraway seeds in abundance
    Such that work up a fine stomach ache
    That could kill a man twice after eating a slice
    Of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake.

    Miss Mulligan wanted to try it,
    But really it wasn't no use
    For we worked in it over an hour
    And we couldn't get none of it loose
    Till Murphy came in with a hatchet
    And Kelly came in with a saw
    That cake was enough be the powers above
    For to paralyze any man's jaws

    Miss Fogarty proud as a peacock,
    Kept smiling and blinking away
    Till she flipped over Flanagans brogans
    And she spilt the homebrew in her tay
    Aye Gilhooley she says you're not eatin,
    Try a little bit more for me sake
    And no Miss Fogarty says I,
    For I've had quite enough of your cake.

    Maloney was took with the colic,
    O'Donald's a pain in his head
    Mc'Naughton lay down on the sofa,
    And he swore that he wished he was dead
    Miss Bailey went into hysterics
    And there she did wriggle and shake
    And everyone swore they were poisoned
    Just from eating Miss Fogarty's cake!

    Good Christmas Eve morning, Loungettes!  How is everyone this ayem? 

    ORLA--mountain climbing this time of year?  Sounds cold and mildly crazy to me, but what do I know about mountain climbing!

    DorKable--OUCH!  Pulling out the gauze like that is gonna HURT!!!!  Have fun shopping, I don't envy you doing last minute shopping. 

    BBBBernie--so THAT's what Santa does all year long!  LOL!

    Purple--Welcome to the Lounge!  Capt Morgan and diet with lime sounds really good, may have to go out and get me some today! 

    Cammy--good point about waiting for the snow to come after all the traveling.  If you count frost Christmas will be white anyway!

    Chrissby--Merry Christmas to you, too!

    Wahine--Hooray for successful Christmas dinner!   Sounds like lots of fun and lots of good food, too!  Yummy!  Especially the carrot cake.  Yeah, let's let the tenders and wenches have the day off.  They work hard and deserve a break, and we know where everything is and can take care of ourselves for a day or two.  Merry Christmas, Tenders and Wenches!

    BBBBernie--Too funny!!!!!

    I came across this on fb this ayem, thought it appropriate:

     

    Cookie Floppy Feet's DOTD is Wassail

    Bake 6 cored apples filled with brown sugar until tender

    While baking, mix is a crock pot/slow cooker:

    Madieria wine

    10 whole cloves

    10 whole allspice berries

    1 teaspoon groung ginger

    1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    While heating, separate 6 eggs.  Whipped whites to stiff peaks.  Mix yolks to ribbon stage.  Add whites to yolks until just mixed. 

    Add 1 ladelfull of hot mixture to egg mixture and mix well, repeat 3-4 more times until egg mix is warm. 

    Add egg mix to crock pot and mix well.  Float baked apples on top.

    Enjoy!
