Busy busy busy

So I guess I need to jump into this holiday spirit sooner rather than later. Tomorrow starts what is going to be a whirlwind couple of weeks. It all starts with the need to go find something cute to wear for Jerry's company Holiday Party. It's at the University Club so I want to look nice. That means running around tomorrow and trying to find something. Wheeee?

We also need to start our Christmas shopping as it's sneaking up on us. We need to wrangle in around 55-ish $2 gifts for one side of the family and about 8-ish for the other side. My family is easy..they are all getting the same thing. (Can't say as some of them might read this). Then we just have Jerry's sister and her family (total 3) and my Mom and Dad (they are easy though!) Oof..I'm overwhelmed just thinking about all this. I was talking to my mom earlier about how the material things are bringing me down this year and I would just be happy with seeing people. She laughed and said "You are getting older". *sigh*

Next week, Jerry's sister, Melissa comes into town on Wednesday and I think her husband and step daughter arrive on Friday. We have to help Mom-in-law shop and she has a Dr appointment on Friday as well. I have rented a wheelchair van for a few days to help us transport her around to various things. It will be much easier than having her try to get in and out of cars.

One of the trips will be to Nashville, GA to have Christmas with Jerry's Father's family. It's going to be hard this year with out Jerry Sr. there....

So yeah....umm...I'm ready for spirit to hit me so I can get motivated....

BSG Comes to an end?!

Image
I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
