5. Unfortunately...or fortunately...you are ot the only one who thinks that..

[Haole Girl]

6. I'm sure

In fact, as a coping mechanism, I've been reminding myself of that very thing all afternoon.

[Capn Sunshine]

7. well, there's all your virtual lounge pals

Feelin' You.

Sorry it wasn't better.
The upside: Cheap turkey at the store tomorrow!

[Haole Girl]

10. Hope your day was a good one

Thanks, Capn Sunshine.

8. I'm sorry

I hear ya.

Bad times, when they coincide with holidays, are just compounded, and it sucks when that happens. Been there, and kinda doin that too.

Hugs.

[Haole Girl]

11. I gotta snap out of this

There are many people who have far worse holidays, I know.

Thanks for the hugs.

9. I bet it wasn't worst than mine...

I hate this time of year..I just want to hibernate up into a fetal position till Jan 2nd..

[Haole Girl]

12. Work wasn't so bad in and of itself...

it went downhill about the time I learned a co-worker had a heart attack last night. He didn't look well, last night, when I left work... but I don't want to get into all that.

Don't you just wish we could run away to the Caribbean or somewhere for the winter? Such a common fantasy, I know...

[HipChick]

14. I hope he's ok..

try not to let it get you down.I really just want to get the day over and done with..

[Haole Girl]

17. As far as I know

They didn't even want to tell me. Last word, was, "He's ok... he's in the hospital." The last thing I said to him, when I left work last night, was "Please go to the ER-- I want to see you back here." He replied, "I'm thinking about it." Apparently, from what I learned 3rd hand, he did make it home... then went to the hospital (where he is now).

13. Damn. Looks like a lot of us gals should have made reservations

at a spa somewhere and had an enjoyable time keeping each other going.

[HipChick]

15. I should have gone to Vegas..

[Curmudgeoness]

19. Vegas would have worked too. It was more a thought

about how all us sad turkeys should converge somewhere and forget about "the holidays".

[Haole Girl]

20. Yes, Curmudgeoness

Too bad we didn't all run away together. ;-)

[Curmudgeoness]

22. Next time. We should know this is going to happen and plan ahead.

I mean, it happens to me all the time.

[HipChick]

23. LOL! I dread it every year..

[Haole Girl]

24. I'll tell you two what, if I have next Thanksgiving off...

I will coordinate something fun!!

[Curmudgeoness]

25. It's a date. I'll put it on my calendar now. nt

[HipChick]

26. I am in...

Count me in..:toast: :party:

[Haole Girl]

27. I'm thinking skiing....

downhill skiing. :-)

[HipChick]

29. LOL! I'd never make it in the lifts..

[Haole Girl]

30. hmm....

I guess we have a year to think on it! lol

[Haole Girl]

16. ya know..

I've never been to a Spa (well, I've been to Spa, Belgium, so I guess I have). I'll be 50 next year and I've never had a pedicure, manicure or profession massage. I suppose some would say I'm due for "the spa treatment." I hear that all the time. But, then I think, "I'd rather get a chrome speedometer for my bike." :crazy:

edit: wrong word

[HipChick]

18. Me either....

[Curmudgeoness]

21. Actually, I have never done it either. That is just my code word

for relaxation, pampering, enjoying life. I have always thought that it would be fun. Probably would not meet my expectations.

28. Back in the 90's, I was living in a condo with two very good platonic female friends/coworkers...

{Come and knock on our door... we'll be waiting for you...}
.
.
.
...and one Christmas, I got them each a half-day at a local spa.
.
.
.
I think it very well might have been the most-appreciated gift
I've even given anyone in my life.
.
.
.
After they came back and described the experience, EACH and
EVERY woman at work wanted to move in with us.
.
.
.
I took careful note of that.

.
.
Yes, INDEED!!!!
