#4 - That's what gift cards are for. If you feel they are to young for gift cards, simply explain to them what they can buy with the card, then give to mommy and daddy for safe-keeping!

# 5 - My dog used to eat tennis balls, but they aren't expensive. While all chocolate is bad for dogs, I believe bakers chocolate is the worst. Watch those crumbs this Christmas!

Well at least your dog is not smoking your cigarettes.


And no dressing him up as the baby new year!

Destiny,

You misunderstand me. I have, and I think many people have a history of breaking their new year's resolutions which I why I don't like calling them resolutions. What I was saying is that there is some important lesson I learn/re-learn every year. This year was a real eye opener for me. I like to reflect on those lessons and then I want to build on them and grow from them and not make those mistakes again.

My resolution is when I start my new job in January, I will not look back at my current job, and will NEVER work for this cheapo again. unfortunately, won't be blogging until I can buy my own 'puter.

That's the problem with resolutions, LOL. You say "never again, nuh-uh, no way, no how, not unless I am TORTURED and then you find yourself in the same predicament.

Jeepgurl, my own experiences in the past in retail has me hanging up and folding the clothes I try on -- unless I am in a real BIG hurry. The salesperson always says, you don't have to do that and I always say, oh I can't just leave the clothes like this. I used to work retail, too.

Newz!!! Does this mean no more crazy insightful posts!! NOOOOOOOOO

Miss Rachel, lol, it takes a long time to teach an old dog new tricks. Quitting smoking is an ongoing one. As for Charlie, he's a beast. He ate my bright red lipstick one day and had this huge smudge of red lipstick across his mouth. It looked so FUNNY. My husband and I called him Charlene until it rubbed off.

Julie....I am laughing , so hard, right now at Charlie and the lipstick incident. It kind of reminds me of my Mom....how, you say? Back in the 60's, when we were living in Rambler Park, my Parents went to a Halloween Party and my Mom dressed as a clown. She used BRIGHT RED lipstick to draw on the clown smile. Well, that lipstick didnt wear off for nearly a week and Mom had to stay in the house til it DID wear off! A fond memory from my twisted childhood!
One resolution I hope you wont even think of is to stop blogging. I LOVE reading your blogs. You make me laugh and you make me cry with the reality of things. A truly GREAT writer has the gift to elicit emotions from her readers and you excel at this!
Here's wishing you and yours....and Charlie...the very merriest of Christmases and a wondrous New Year!!!!!!!

Charlene????? No wonder Charlie keeps pulling his crap. Poor puppy. Bad mommy, Bad.

Library is a distinct possibility. Never realized how much I meant to you zany peeples. I'll probably go through blogger's withdrawal (I am the junky after all : P ) This is just way better for me. Making $11/hr there, making $5.50/hr now, closer to home, and it's in the field that I've worked my entire life. Newz is back in the kitchen. Just needed a break from food. 21 years of the same work took it's toll on me. This job was a change of pace, and only worked here because my "friend" of 20 years owns it, and they weren'y making $$$$$. I came in and turned it from a $2000 a week business into a $1600 a day business. Yes, I am just that damned good

Julie, since I'm in retail, and this is now the "home stretch", I take this time to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healty New Year!!!

whoa.. since it wasn't a nightmare, I don't take you as a Bon Jovi Fan. But then again, Fox Network probably has a dress code where they don't allow you to have a hairdo that looks like the bird logo for NBC.
