Trying my da****** to stay off the pity pot...

OK, now if the three of use could meet up and have a Christmas dinner bash...

My dear Mom pointed out today that the really nasty COLD weather has some people feeling down.

I have started taking my iron tabs again, kinda lapsed on those.

Gayle, wanna meet at Starbucks next week? PM me! Parking downtown will be easy, everyone will be at the malls! LOL

Thanks, you two - my head KNOWS I have much to be grateful for, but I have been fighting this tailspin for a few days. It ain't fun.

{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

Well, if we're going to have dinner it needs to be at Richards! He'd never survive here in the -30oC temps!!

But I'll gladly do the turkey, with granny's secret stuffing recipe.

Starbucks sounds great, lets see how the roads go, it is supposed to snow Monday! Like we need more. I have drifts here that are up to my thigh, mind you, I'm pretty short!!

[Catty1]

Gayle, just hold up a sign with your name on it...I'll dig you out of the drift! lol

Actually, I have a computer call here in Cochrane Monday morning, and am hoping to get a block heater installed in the afternoon.

Tuesday?

How's that Sasha doing? Not enjoying walks in this weather, I am sure.

Okay, I guess God hears prayers even when one is wailing and being self-centred.

My former boss (the husband of the couple) phoned a few minutes ago and invited my mom and I to their house for Christmas Dinner.

Their daughter, her little boy, and her boyfriend will be there, as well as JJ and Wayne, a couple of their friends I have met.

Mom sounds open to it. I hope she agrees.

We did invite a neighbour of mine for dinner at Mom's but have not heard back yet. That's the only awkward spot.

But how nice...and unexpected!

Thanks, God!

I'm glad you got invited to spend time with more people. And the fact that a child will be there is even better. Children always make things brighter, especially around the holidays (that's my opinion anyway)



(((hugs)))

Okeedokey then...

Hmmmm..... just a few weeks ago, YOU were cheering ME up, Candance, remember???

There are lots of us who know how you and Richard feel. The best gift I could get would be to hug my parents again. But I do, everyday, same feel, same smell, even if it's in my head.

Yep, this decorative season can be very depressing. And when you can't reach your friends, or they turn you down for something, it's especially upsetting. But, it's not personal. It's a busy time. I hope mom and you go to Christmas dinner! It'll make you feel so much better, you'll see.

I now have a total of 5 events this coming week! Who wudda thought? And it's with people I really love and enjoy. i guess the feeling is mutual. Oh Joy!

Of course I over spent my budget, but it made me happy to buy gifts for kids and myself. I deserve it.

And as far as having a man....it ain't all that and a bag of chips. I guess if you're lucky, you find that special someone. Don't sweat it. Sometimes I think I'm better off alone. I like the independence. I was never one to really care.

You're still on this earth, have a job, an income and people who really care about you! Have a Merry Merry! Your sis and dad are together, sending you love. I doubt they'd want you to be unhappy. I know mine wouldn't.

Some of my best times were at last minute invites to a holiday dinner.. they always seen to be the BEST! I bet you and your Mom will have a blast!

I forget the reason I had no plans for Christmas and neither did some of my other single friends. One of them called, said she was going to cook and if i had no plans, to come over and eat Christmas dinner with her. Turned out she had 3 or 4 of us singles show up and we had a ball! We ate until we about popped and I got several great recipes that I still use today from her.

GO an enjoy yourself!

I have no man in my life either except for a friend in another state that calls 3 or 4 times a week and I know I am better off alone. No BS to put up with, no one to wash clothes for, to cook for, have to clean up after, explaine where I have been or why I am sleeping late... The best part... I can spend MY money the way I want to!!!
