no tiff - *hold back tears*
we will not be with them this christmas...

I guess they are as cool with it as kids can be....

I think we are sadder than they are - 'cause they are still getting the gifts (you know how kids can be...)

but they will be here all next summer!!!

my shopping (and shipping) is DONE!!! one of the benefits of a long-distance holiday.... must plan ahead...

so - just me and hubby )and 5 DAYS OFF!! it really is kinda like a 2nd honeymoon!!

Aww, I'm sure the kids are sad, they just can't tell you otherwise they'll think you'll think they're going soft! Have they always grown up in Barbados?

At least you and the hubby get some time to yourself! No quick trip outta the tri-cities?

Aww Som, don't be depressed. Well, I doubt that'll convince you of anything. Wanna vent?

Do any of you guys buy online? I swear to got eBay and amazon.ca have taken over my life.

yes - they are born in Barbados and have yet to visit outside the island - but we have been planning this "transition" for a long time and so far we are on schedule....

hubby and i are beat and just want to chill - we have a bunch of trips we could take - but we might end up having a couple of "special" egg nogs and a massive snuggle-fest!!

Mmm alcohol. I could use a Baileys right now. Mmm... Snuggle-fests are highly underrated! Is it going to be a quiet Christmas? Just dinner, rent some movies, the like?

Here's the story. My mistake - the woman was actually murdered and her baby cut out.

That's frightening. Did they catch the maniac yet?

Fredi, enjoy your time off! Go see if there's anything special going on in your area, make a nice date.

"When you're alone at night
Do you run and hide?
Are you strong inside
Are you full of pride
Or just... Petrfired?"

...

I'm afraid of being alone... I won't make you listen to that story. It's quite long.

quiet christmas is right...

i don't rent - if anything we'll watch one we have (over 400!!)
or whatever dvd's i get for christmas... (my family knows it's the easiest way out since my goal is to own every movie ever made...)

and my favorite drink - mexican coffe! coffee (natch) tequila and kaluha *aaahhhhh* at christmas, I add egg nog instead of whipped cream YUM!

thanks for the link - gives me more reasons to count my blessings...

nia - i used to be afraid to be alone too - especially at night...

don't really remember when (or how) i got over it... it just came gradually...

now a few hours alone (any time) is such a GIFT!!

They have a couple of people in custody, but nothing's for sure yet. How horrible and frightening!

Aww Som, spill it. Are you afraid of being romantically alone or just alone in general?

Fredi, what DVDs are you still looking for? Watching movies are an addicting for me, although owning them are financially prohibitive at this point! *sigh* I'm hoping to kick back and watch When Harry Met Sally when I get home tonight!

When I say 'alone', I don't mean I'm scared of the boogeyman or boys... it's a long story, like I said.

i'm mostly collecting new stuff now...
all the stuff from this last summer...
(stepford
manchurian
spidey 2
etc...

and the "blaxplotation" films of the 70's - there's a bunch of those I don't have...

i'm missing 2 cohen bros. and a couple of hitchcocks...

and always room for old classics...

i've recently gotten into westerns so there's a lot of room there too....

owning them is cheaper than renting them for me...
especially between columbia and the $5 dvd bin a walmart!

Wow Fredi. I don't think I could stand to watch all of those, I'd go stir-crazy.

Tiff, you don't want to hear.

#7267

Bon Voyage Cam!!!

Posted: 12/17/04 at 9:52pm

True! Do you have a special room in your house for them?

I saw Spidey 2 over the summer and really enjoyed it a lot more than the first one. Manchurian Candidate was all right (with that cast, how could it not be?) but I like the original more. Is that one out on DVD?

Aie blaxplotation films! Nice! I can't say I'm too familiar with any particular one, but I mean, Pam Grier? Whooo!

I was willing to listen last time and I'm all ears now. I'm sure Fredi feels the same way.

sup all?

Just got back from A Stoop on Orchard Street!

Yesterday, I saw Jewtopia - RECOMMEND TO ALL (ESPECIALLY TO THE JEWS ON HERE) - Funniest show!

Sunday - is 42nd Street!

Just found out we are seeing a 10th show (I think 10th) in January - Fiddler!

#7273

Bon Voyage Cam!!!

Posted: 12/17/04 at 10:04pm

Wow fun! WHat seats do you have for 42nd St? I guess it's its second to last week, right? Wow.

Who's gonna be in Fiddler in Jan? When's Harvey coming in?

Okay Som, if you don't wanna post about it, that's cool, as long as you don't want to discuss it for personal reasons and not just because you think no one cares. But really, it's gonna be hard to sulk about it or make vague references to it and have us understand or give advice if we don't know what's going on!
