Oh I've heard of lemoncello but never have had any. Kim and Donna you start baking this early? I'm afraid to freeze cookies etc so all my baking gets done 3 days before Christmas. We went and cut our tree and put it up today also got the wreaths on the windows. Next step is all the rest of the inside stuff. Don't think I'm going to do it all like I used to. Alot of work and no one's home anymore. Well, Kim my husband did buy a few things and not even for Christmas. He bought me a silver bracelet and a oak cabinet to keep my kitchen garbage can in and Erika he bought really pretty necklace for her birthday I did get 3 Chritmas gifts bought though. Janice, did you see the birdbaths made from the different types of leaves? Bought one for my sister and parents. I only have two people left to buy for. They are the hardest ones. Sometimes it's good to have a really small family. Marlene they have Turkey Taco's?! Too funny. Donna what did I miss what the heck happend to your appliances?

Ok Donna falling in. I had more "good luck" in the getting wet when I go out on Saturdays. This time it wasn't the rain. Hubby and I went out to eat and the waitress lost an entire tray of drinks next to our table. So my husband and I got the plash of beer as is crashed to the floor and whatever mixed drinks she had on the tray. What a mess. and the poor girl felt horrible. They did offer to pay for our cleaning bill and reduced are bill. Ahh Booze perfume. Other than that not much happening here. Kim I can't seem to get myself in the mood to Christmas shop. How many do you buy for? We have a small family so it shouldn't take me long. Once I figure out what people want/need. That's the tough part. I have No Idea for Ryan. Miltary what do you do?
