HHEEELLLLOOOOOO - The Home Alone Thread Again

[Cock-Robin]

Yep, I'm enjoying all the decorations and Christmas videos to the hilt, trying go grasp all the joy of Christmas in the midst of a joyless insanity at work. And it's hard.

[rwhen]

*yawn*

A very sleepy HELLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the house!!

Woke up to a "bit" of snow this morning, it will be gone in no time. This has been a long year that went by very fast. Yup that is what I meant to say...exhausting might be a better word than "long". So bring on the holiday, I am ready for it - let's go. Hope all is well with everyone else. Short and sweet.

Lewie...good to chat with you a bit yesterday!!! And I too love the chance to "talk" up the movie with other fans. My brother saw it and all he would say was "I liked it". *shrugs*. I have photos today on my phone that I haven't downloaded yet but I will put them up over on FB today. The 'finished' project.

EDMOND...hello right back to you today. How goes the battle? the blog?

DUBSIES!!! Very cool that the Princess enjoyed the movie enough to hold her water as my mother used to say. I too would just wish that people would grieve and then let these lovely ones go with love and light. I think it hits people differently. Everyone has to have an outlet for their emotions.

Sil. Never heard of strabismus...but glad I got to write the word. Hey 2D was just as great I would think. Some even thought that the 3D was much over-rated. So there. Tarjay!! I hope you got all your shopping done done now?

rowan....you didn't say how the "shows" went and if you enjoyed them? I would THINK you are a bit more than just knackered!!! I hope you slept well last night and drop in when you can so we know you are well. I got your card yesterday. Thank you so much.

heliona, Got it. Aw...Nell should visit often so that she gets used to your area too over the years to come. It is a bit early, but have a lovely holiday coming up with the family...even with the paperwork to get out. I too miss our "Evenstar".

LOL oldtoby!! Yes, I indeed did not miss your oscar performance in the movie. Glad you kept it under wraps, no spoilers from you.

Calma, got your card yesterday. Thank you so much. Did you have snow this morning?

Lin, let us know if you make it today to The Hobbit...Christmas could be a bit hectic, but hell who cares if you get to see the movie, right? One week away and that isn't too long to wait. Hope you got at least as close to grand as possible last night. I sure didn't. Maybe you made up some zzzzzzzzzzz'a for me.

CR...there are no decorations at my brothers home yet at all. I guess my niece will come this weekend and they will get the tree and put up the decorations then. But that means I won't see any until Monday Christmas Eve...he didn't even put up the outside lights this year. I know he is tired...but HELLOOOO...time is a ticking away. Enjoy yours.

Vandarlin', still missing you so much...your worst day is behind you now and all afternoons until Christmas. Hang in there and check in my SSOTH. 143

SCRIBBLES!!!!! Are you buried in the Canadian snow????

I'm applying for three jobs for next semester.

Two are reference assistant jobs, in an academic library this would be HUGE for my resume. You aren't stocking the shelves, you actually do reference work and learn from the librarians.

The other is an "instruction assistant" job. You are responsible for teaching "welcome to the library" classes to new students. This would be equally huge for my resume. Wish me luck!

[IrisBrandybuck]

LUCK!

Haven't seen the Hobbit yet...maybe thursday or friday...

Dubs, I agree.

So my husband's younger daughter was trying to tell her sister that she and her boyfriend got more money from their dad last year than the other kids. Actually, they got less because Rob had to use some of it to wire her money so she could come visit her mother. And he told her that. I'm not going near this one...

[Tookish_Traveler]

Okay, this thread is in need of a Christmas flash mob.......

[Tookish_Traveler]

oops.






<runs away>

[Calma]

Are they doing the Macrena?

[rwhen]

Actually Tooks...that is JUST what this thread needed, I got a good laugh!!!!

[GwenElf]

Double the flash mob, double the fun...

[Vanaladiel]

Thank you Tooks dear!! I needed that.

I want to say "Thank you" to all who have sent me Christmas Cards. I have received cards from rowan darling, Tooks, Monika, NL, Scribbles, Tygs and PARM!! I do not think I will be able to get any cards out at this time. I just don't seem to be able to get the time to do them. I will still try but they may be very late for Christmas. I so appreciate them though since I am truly struggling this Christmas with tears and depression. I think some of it is being so tired and not getting much sleep but also the shooting has hit me extremely hard for some reason. I am in need of prayer and sleep. I love you all!

[basil]

Wish me luck!

LUCK!

I will still try but they may be very late for Christmas

The best Christmas cards, which are mere tangible expressions of the intangible, for me are the friendships I have with folk like you. Luv ya babe!

And the rest of you lovely Denny Zens, you're not off b's Hook of Love either!

Anything else going on?

I've got catching up to do, have not seen The Hobbit yet more than once.

[basil]

oops.

Ah so, Reindeer navels are "Outies"?

Science, and Tooks, in Action!

[Dubatuluk]

Sheesh Tooks! You really did it this time.

Well, almost all my Christmas shopping is done. Just need to get a ton of candy to fill pressies with and some ingredients for my Loaded Baked Potato Soup that I'll be making for Christmas Night supper. And all under $100 this year! I'm surprised and proud.

The Nutcracker! I'm jealous! I missed our dance school's performances this year. I definitely intend to take the kids sometime.

t0by, you were perfect!

So, the only Christmas card I have received is from Tyg and that's because she still has my parents' address. I don't know if anyone got my new address when I moved back in with the Rohan Man. you can email me eosphorosa AT gmail DOT com if you only have the 117 Ross addy.

[Cock-Robin]

BEAUTIFUL! I loved that flash mob! 7 days till Christmas, 3 days till the end of the world.

[Linteannaiel]

Tooks, you've done it again! Perfect timing, too.

Rwhen, we didn't make it to The Hobbit today, unfortunately, since it's been rather difficult to get everyone together. James and I really want to see it, so we may go see it on Friday, just the two of us. We want to go to the last afternoon matinee, which is at 4:30 pm, since we don't want to see it in 3D (I think 3D is overrated, and James doesn't like it at all, so we never go to 3D versions of anything). We'll probably see it again with his family on Christmas Day, and they want to go to the early bird showing (which is at 11 am, and way too early to see a movie, in my opinon ), so hopefully it won't be too hectic.. we'll see how we feel, anyway. I got a pretty grand sleep last night, though it was only around 6 hours.. but I slept well. Hope you get a grand sleep tonight to make up for last night!

Vana, I'm in the same boat with my Christmas cards.. I haven't had the time to get them out yet, so they may be late for Christmas. Better late than never, though! I'm sorry you've been feeling so blue this Christmas, I hope you get some good sleep and feel better. The news hit me somewhat hard too, and for the last few days it's been a struggle for me to feel very Christmasy, though I was feeling very Christmasy before. My Christmas Spirit is slowly returning, especially after we saw The Nutcracker on Saturday night, and seeing all the adorable children in the ballet really helped. Sending you lots of hugs!

So far, the only Christmas card I've received is from Scribbles, who hasn't been around for a while, so she may not see this.. but Scribbles, if you happen to pop in, THANK YOU for the lovely Christmas card! Miss you bunches and hope you're doing well!

Dubs, yay for having almost all your Christmas shopping done! I'm almost done as well, just have a couple of small gifts to get for the girls, and a couple of cards and some giftwrap, and I'll be done. I should be able to do most of it at Target!

LOL, CR.. how comforting.

[eliana]

ok. i've been out for a couple of days. it was a long, busy weekend, but a good one. and yesterday i got a nook, so that's been distracting. sorry, but i really don't feel like reading all the posts i've missed. i might tomorrow, i might not. if i missed anything important (other than dancing reindeer:)) feel free to fill me in

there really isn't much going on here. i survived the christmas program, and they didn't hate it, so that was nice.

[Cock-Robin]

4 long days to go in this stretch before a day off.

[Ashke Verasca]

Counting days to Christmas. I made today a big shopping but since I am sick (I have harsh cold) I couldn't do everything. I hope that Saturday before Eve will be free from sickness. I really hate winter colds...

My dog ate today toilet paper. Whole. I sometimes think if he talked at Eve with human voice, he would tell something stupid.

[Cock-Robin]

Going to snow tonight. Hope it isn't too much.

[Swordsman_Of_The_Tower]

Going for my third Hobbit viewing this afternoon (I'm treating myself to a little mini vacation)

Going back to Boston on saturday. So i have a few days free, I might go to NYC tomorrow, but the train tickets are so expensive..........it's like $30 round trip

[IrisBrandybuck]

Dubs, you have the Leroy addy?

Vana:

No Hobbitsesss yet, precious...

[Cock-Robin]

No Hobbit for me till after New Years. *sigh*

[Vanaladiel]

Same here probably!

[Ashke Verasca]

Same here...oh how it stings.

[RobertEvert]

Heeellllllooooooo, everybody. How is everybody?

Hey Rwhen. Nothing too new here. The blog is the blog. Thanks for posting. I'm sure it's one of those wasted effort things, but the publisher seemed to think that it was important.

Where's Basil been? I haven't run into him since I got back.

[rowanberry]

HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!111111

My dog ate today toilet paper. Whole. I sometimes think if he talked at Eve with human voice, he would tell something stupid.

Pets...

Rwhen, both of the shows went well. Especially, the audience seemed to love our Bollywood number in the first show. Yesterday evening, I went to see the show of the dance school where I take classes in the summer; a couple of my dance buddies were on stage there.

But now, it's getting close to bedtime. I probably won't have much time to get online tomorrow, so see you on Friday!

he's around, he's on Facebook sometimes. So he's "connected"

One of my friends said I look/remind her of a dwarf

Is that a compliment? I can't tell.

[Cock-Robin]

Snow is coming with a vengeance early this morning. They're naming winter storms now, and this one is aptly named Draco.

[Ashke Verasca]

HELLLOO everyone!

It seems to be nice day as I woke up! I feel much better than yesterday with my cold and that means NO DOCTOR. And healthy Eve! I am happy as never.

I just bought online few books, I will have something to read in Christmas

[Cock-Robin]

Three more long days, and they're really into sleep deprivation. I only got about two hours sleep, as they had me late and coming in early.

It's even worse on Friday night when they have me working till almost midnight only to turn back around and get back early about six.
