And these are my Christmas dogs:

These are my Christmas ducks.

OK, here are my mice, the face is a little white because they are in the fridge firming up.

Awwww Cindy, don't feel bad about posting what you think. I think most of it was in fun, at least when I said I got an email about him too, that is what I thought it was all about just joking. I get mad at him too, but don't we all at times? All in all, I think he is doing pretty good. I say stand up for what you believe in. I too don't want to get into a politics thread, it is always a no win situation. There are lots of threads that I read but don't post on just for those reasons. I thought what you said was very good! Hey, come on over and I'll give you some cookies and milk and you will feel lots better! Eileen - I just put the finishing touches on the mice, I will take a picture when they get dry. They turned out kinda cute if I say so myself! Lisa - Hang in there, it really does get better with each day. Walk when you can, sip lots of liquids, and use a heating pad for shoulder pain. Ivan - Sorry you are working so much! I miss your posts when you aren't here. I am mopping my kitchen floor and sweeping up the carpets. I keep trying to keep up with all the sugar messes, but I think it all got away from me yesterday.

Congrats! Looking forward to some pictures. Beautiful rings!

Good Morning! It's cool, but sunny here this morning. I got up at 3:00 couldn't sleep again! After DH left for work, I made some mice! I still have some details to add to them but they are gonna be so cute! Then I went shopping and just got home. Pat - I love that picture! I smell blackmail when he gets older! lol You better lock up the Harley's! Beanie - Hurry home girl, Texas girls miss you! I think I will definately need a card after this holiday. I just can't behave myself during Christmas. I can pass on every other holiday, but Christmas! Eileen - How is the weather? Are you and Beanie going to be able to meet again? Hope so! If I sent you all these cookies and candy to eat by yourself, you might as well not have starved yourself for the last month! I have had trouble with a few of them myself! :cry Patty - It has been a pleasure reading your posts the last month. I love hearing about your family! Cindy - What ya doing today? Well, guess I best go put my stuff away. Catch y'all later!

Great post! You are going though what we all go through, and it is totally normal. I can still eat pretty much anything, just in smaller amounts. Good luck with your surgery, and please post and let us know how you are doing when you can.

Good Afternoon! Been doing more baking today, got my main cookies (the family favorites) done today. I also made some wreaths out of chocolate covered mixed nuts and put a pretty red bow on them. lol Awwww, Eileen and Beanie I love the pictures! Cute purse too! It sounds like the two of you had tons of fun! I wish I was there to play with you. Patty - Glad you survived! How true it is, nobody remembers the house was messy, they remember the good times. I bet your kids are getting excited about Christmas huh? I raised two by myself, and I just can't imagine doing 4! I give you all the credit in the world! Eileen - I love the oldies! I also like to kick off my shoes. At home I am always barefoot! Mostly braless too! Those are the first two things I take off when I walk in the door. Of course if the doorbell rings I have to run in the other room very fast! Beanie - Sounds like you are working way too hard. I would definately send those cookies/candy up there, but you would be home before they got there! Eileen would have to eat them all by herself. Cindy - It sounds like you did great at the party! Now, you have to explain to me what the $10.00 card is! I guess I missed it somewhere along the line. Thanks for the compliment on the cookies. It was the first time I made that kind and thought they were really cute. My DH came in the door last night, and I had the table full of cookies and he said he could smell them clear out in the garage! lol You are welcome to come over anytime and sample the goodies!~ Everyone here is welcome! I have run out of containers to put them in, and believe me I have tons of containers! Pat - Don't worry, when it gets close enough to Christmas, you'll find the energy to wrap all that stuff. You can't rush into stuff like that you know! How many of y'all are finished with your shopping? Well, gonna go clean up some of the mess again. One thing I can tell you is I am getting sick of cleaning up messes! Including myself, I look like the dough boy, I am white from head to toe from confectioner's sugar!

Must be joke day for Bush, I got one just a minute ago compairing him to monkeys/apes.

Welcome to LBT Joe!

Congrats! You have done excellent with your band!

Welcome to LBT! How great to have a partner to do it with! Keep us posted on your date!

Great news!

Welcome to bandland! Just keep sipping, you'll do fine.

Congrats on both! You are doing awsome!

Good Luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Whooo Hooo! Be sure to let us know how you are doing when you can!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully you'll get some answers and it will be good one! Keep us posted!

Congrats and good luck! Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Here's one more, I also made these in chocolate. The frosting is still wet, so that is why they look messy right now.

Hey everybody! I have been baking all day again. Time to clean up the mess now though, it is almost time for me to start supper! Never ending! Cindy - I just make trays for the neighbors, then I take a tray to work, one to my Nephew, one to DB and his family, and DH takes one to work. My DH came home yesterday and said they were asking him if I was sending some in this year! I guess they must like them huh? Patty - Don't you just love those last minute things! You need a big hug, just for yourself! Wish I lived closer, I'd let them come over for a while and give you a break! Beanie - Glad to see you post, I thought we wouldn't hear from you till you got back! I know you just couldn't stand it huh? This is some of what I worked on today. I just wanted to show you the one that looks like a package, I thought it was really cute.

I agree! Sometimes when you eat too much in the evening you are extra tight in the mornings.

Whoooo Hoooo! What a great present!

Michelle for the most inspirational!

Patty- Hey I like velour! Gosh, what a great idea! I would never have thought to ship all that stuff. I guess everytime someone mentions shipping I back off! We were in AZ a few years back and I bought a bunch of Mexican stuff to cook with, decided to ship it home. I took it all in to the pack and ship place and when I walked out I had paid $250.00 to ship it. Heck, the stuff didn't cost that much! DH ask me how much it cost and I just told him he didn't want to know. Sorry about the flu, maybe since they got it this early they will be over it by Christmas. I got a flu shot last year and got the flu anyway, so be careful! Cindy- Glad you had such a great time. They still are doing interviews this week, so I probably won't hear anything till at least the end of the week or next week. Maybe later, who knows! I am just keeping my fingers crossed. Whoooo Hooooo on that new size of pants too! I had a busy day today with the cookies/candy. I made 4 batches of fudge, 2 batches of peanut brittle, and a ton of cookies. I just finished cleaning up the kitchen, now it is time to clean me up! I think I have chocolate, sugar, caramels, or something all over my body! Time to jump in the shower!
