*huggles for Bree and Wendy*

Jumble, love the pressies for Amanda - I'm sure she'll love them too!

Wendy, if Clintonio's died, I use signavatar.com. I switched quite a while back when Clintonio went through a bad patch of crashing, and it's been pretty reliable

[Jumble]

*huggles Wendy* Christmas isn't dead just because you don't have a tree - and you could always go get a real one cheap if you wait until nearer Christmas

*huggles Bree* Hope you feel better soon

Josiane I tried signavatar, but it woodn't let me upload anything They've changed the code and I can't figure it out Help!

I hope Amanda does like them

[m_wendy_r]

Thank you for the huggles. *squishes*

*more huggles for Bree*

And thank you Josi

I'll try that link and see. Apparently Clintonio is going the way of the dinosaurs.

Bekki, I'm still thinking about the shoes!

Well, I did start using blu-tac to put the branches on the wall. I've left one up with an ornament on it. I was completely prepared to spend the wee early morning hours doing this, but actually, Josi has been so incredibly kind to help and we're getting a tree tomorrow from Wilkinsons. Like I said, I know it sounds silly to care about having a tree, but when I was little, the tree and the Christmas dinner (as best we could get it) was actually all we really had so it's like the tree means Christmas because I connect it to then. The tree that "died" earlier this evening is the tree I bought my parents two years ago when they both lost their jobs. It was supposed to have lasted years though. So it says on the box. I think it lied

*huggles Wendy* That's so sad! ...to, perhaps, make you feel better, for the last few years I have lived without a tree. My parents left for Italy during Christmas so they didn't want to set one up while they weren't even at home during Christmas. In the end I did end up buying a teeny tiny one for myself, but it's different! Still, I kinda know how you feel! *huggles again*

Jumble that's a cute present for Amanda, she'll love it!

Tomorrow I'm going to Atlanta

Hope everyone had a lovely day. I got up early to go up to Columbia to meet with my midwifery school mentor to get the education portion of my application to Canukistan done. That was 3 hours on the train round trip, *yawn* but almost finished! Then I came back to BK to work in the clinic from 12-8. I'm tired, but that's cool.

Oh, and I created a web page for out S4K benefit concert! It's just a little more than a month away. So hard to believe. It's going to be great fun. Check it out! http://bit.ly/f29Vhd

Oh she's a good lady, really. Just needed a few days to rethink her life choices, but here she is, bright and sparkly as ever *huggles photobucket and shares chocolates*

And whoa, most of those are guesses!

EEK...that's hard to find out...I do have some ideas about some shoes! I think.

Just got a BIG aww moment...for a kind of weird reason....I passed all my classes with pretty good grades and won't go back home for christmas as some of you know, so since my parents couldn't be here and apparently I've been making them proud, they gave me some extra money for the christmas/december month, but my dad send me the cutest mail, because I thought he made a mistake when I checked my bank account.
Sounds perhaps stupid, but I'm proud to hear that my parents are proud of me....and that makes me miss them...which probably doesn't make any sense at all!
Errr...yeah...

*shuffles back in her corner*

That is wonderful! It's lovely that your parents express their pride in you so sweetly.

oh dear, i just remembered a story to share with you.

Mum came back from her christmas party tonight all disheveled. It seemed her team leader accidentally bookd the wrong kind of tour. There they were, on the hippy bus having a lovely time, when their tour guide started to tell them where the best places to buy err...broccoli and other related vegetables were, how much they were and what was best to do with them...

mum's work had accidentally booked a drug run...

I'm not sure I've ever laughed more...poor mum

and with that, I'm off to bed

That's awesome.

Just heard from Laurie. She has an infection in both her eyes and is barely able to see, which is why she hasn't been online for a while She'll be back as soon as she can see to read properly and is feeling better.

*sends massive squishy hugs and healing vibes to Laurie*

*huggles Laurie*

My Christmas died!

*cries*

I'll come back to guess on the shoes, but I'm too upset at the moment. I tried to joke about it, but as stupid as it sounds, not having a Christmas tree feels a bit like the darn thing has been cancelled. I know it's just a tree, but there was no reason for it to just break like it. It's two years old, and when we opened it up, all the branches just snapped off - it had become brittle in storage over the year. Right now, the kitchen is full of broken pieces of plastic and bits of those 'leaves' everywhere. We did try to fix it, we used glue, tape and those food ties - spent nearly two hours on it, it just didn't work. Julie has gone off to be sad in her room, and I'm in mine.

We can't afford to buy one right now, and it's pointless buying one in January

I know it's just a tree, but

EDIT: And my rotating sigs went away, too? *hides under the bus*
