Bethany's (Bethanyniez) father passed away on Sunday...

I'm so sorry for your loss, Bethany. -
Anyone else completely done with their Christmas shopping?
Lisa in SC replied to Luanne's topic in The Chat Board
I am not even close to being done. Shopping up until Christmas Eve most likely. :) -
Hi Joanne! My name is Lisa, and I, too, am a planner addict! My addiction goes deeper, though. I'm also addicted to planner pages. I prefer pages designed by other addicts over the more commercial pages. I could name the many that I'm drooling over at the moment, but I'm going to try to resist enabling fellow addicts. I will say that this is a fairly good addiction for me. I really do accomplish more and remember more with a well designed planner in my life.

How far along are you on your Thanksgiving Day preparations?
Lisa in SC replied to OrganicAnn's topic in The Chat Board
The menu has been decided, shopping is complete, linens/dishes/silverware are ready, and the house is clean. This year, it is solely because of dh and dc that we are prepared. I was hospitalized with bilateral pneumonia earlier this month, and am still recovering. I will be cooking on Wednesday evening and Thursday. Wednesday evening is when I prepare desserts. Everything else will be done on Thursday. Our extended family lives over 600 miles from us, so we try to invite friends. I'm used to cooking for 20-30 people, but this year it looks like it will be only the 8 of us. I will still have enough food for the usual crowd plus my usual overage. Fortunately, I have plenty of "use it up" recipes. I hope everyone who celebrates has a wonderful Thanksgiving! For those who don't celebrate, I hope your Thursday is exactly how you hoped it would be! :) -
I adore spending time with my mom...she is an amazing lady. She's turning 80 next month, and I'm planning a birthday party for her, although we live over 600 miles away. She has a crazy sense of humor, and can still bend at the waist and put her hands flat on the floor. She looks and acts as if she's 30 years younger. Love my mom! My father passed, and she is now remarried. I'm not a fan of the new husband, but my mom is fantastic when she isn't with him.

So my boss called me into his office today...

Congratulations! That's wonderful news! -
So... We GOT the house!! (same thread...updated).
Lisa in SC replied to LisaKinVA's topic in The Chat Board
The house is absolutely beautiful! I do wonder...could you trade the gardener for a maid? :D That is a ton of cleaning. As others have said, though, you only live once. I hope you get it, and enjoy it immensely! -
Yes, we have about 24 hours to go. Just to clarify, lest you all think I'm completely crazy (as opposed to just a tad crazy), I'm not a total germaphobe. Colds, flu, etc. don't faze me much, other than wanting my loved ones to feel better. It's just the vomit thing. I can't seem to shake it. Thanks again. :)

Right about vomit itself not making him sick. I didn't explain myself very clearly. I apologize. I was thinking more along the lines of norovirus, which we had a nasty round of around Easter. I know it sort of becomes an aerosol when the person vomits, but I didn't know if it could be transmitted in the pool prior to vomiting. Kids get water in their mouths and all that. I know it's my issue, but anxiety and OCD can be difficult to overcome. I keep trying. :) On the bright side, we didn't use the locker room when we came to swim. He comes in his suit with a sweatshirt on & just rinses in the poolside shower which is automatic, so no need to touch anything. So, you provided me with some good news, and I'm grateful.
