BWS1982 · 09-19-2008, 11:03 PM

I'm still pissed Crohns ruined my last Christmas.

drew_wymore · 09-20-2008, 01:05 AM

Ugh don't remind me. I hate Christmas because the day after is my birthday and this year I'll be turning the dreaded 30 as if I didn't have enough problems with Crohns ...

GoJohnnyGo · 09-20-2008, 01:17 AM

I do all my Christmas shopping on eBay -- delivered right to my door.

I hate traipsing about the malls. Not only do I get unique gifts, I figure I come out ahead even factoring in shipping, duty and what-not.

mommy1st · 09-20-2008, 03:27 AM

I wait until BLACK FRIDAY to do most of my shopping my sister and I have the best time and find the best deals. We have been training all year for that day!!!

BWS1982 · 09-20-2008, 08:26 AM

Well, I don't know how they do it in Brit, but here one can't cancel Christmas no matter how awful their health.

I just got to sit there watching everyone have fun and eat good stuff, then make my regularly scheduled 15 minute bathroom trip a few times an hour.

Killjoy I know.

whats black friday? regards sharon x

ladyB · 09-20-2008, 01:58 PM

The day all the stores have major sales to get them out of the 'red' financially and into the 'black'
It's a mad house!

I'll be 29 the 25th of Dec., drew I still have another year to go before the big3-0....heehee

amor151 · 09-20-2008, 02:35 PM

i had one of my best christmas's last year as the 23rd of december was colonoscopy day and it was just a relief on christmas day to no i wouldn't be having a prep day again for a while :P

My Butt Hurts · 09-20-2008, 04:26 PM

I'm Capricorn too Drew and Kim!
Drew, maybe you should pierce something for your 30th b-day.
I pierced something when I turned 25.
(Or maybe you would just like a nice 'I luv My Butt Hurts' tattoo.)

Well, since we're counting down - 37 weeks of school left until summer vacation!!!

merrywidow · 09-20-2008, 05:06 PM

we dont have black friday here, but the january sales start on 26 dec. regards sharox

Creepy Lurker · 09-20-2008, 06:28 PM

I'll hit 28 in December. I haven't changed a bit since I was 17.

My Butt Hurts · 09-21-2008, 01:22 AM

YAY! Camping!!!
I am SO done with camping though - all that packing and unpacking, and I am SO high maintenance I bring like 7 pairs of sandals, 2 sneakers, 10 pairs of socks, 8 tshirts, 8 long sleeved shirts, 8 sweaters, 6 shorts, 4 capris, 3 jeans, all kinds of jammies, LOTS of undies, plus way more food than we need, too many snacks too many drinks, every possible medication we could need, butt cloths, plus pack for the kids, (this is for a 3 night trip, Friday to Monday) bathing suits, shovels, pails, too many towels, wood, chairs, scooters, bikes, toys, glow sticks, it's crazy.
We drove by a campground tonight though, and the campfires smelled SOOOOO good.
I'll be ready to go again in May.
Where are we meeting again???

BTW Kim, you've mentioned MTV's The Real World TWICE this week.. How sad is it that I started watching with the first episode, and still watch even though I am WAY too old to be watching that stupid show. You look a bit like Montana in this picture. The eyebrows and the bangs especially. What do you think?

dingbat · 09-21-2008, 12:08 PM

noooo! it can't be that close to Xmas - i'm still waiting (with fading hope) for the UK summer this year.
