OCD SUPPORT GROUP - SESSION 132 :: New Year, New Day, Can't Get Enough of Clay

[woodstock2]

  everyone!!!

Hubby's office closed for the day due to the weather so he came home this morning.     I haven't done much today.  Feeling lazy.  Hubby started my car so we can try to get the ice off of it.  It's kinda pretty out there, actually.

We are supposed to go to hubby's brothers house tomorrow for Christmas with them.  We only buy gifts for the "little" kids, which are hubby's youngest brother's son and daughter.  So I guess I have some wrapping to do today.

Not much to say.  I'm kinda in a funk today.  Not sure why.  Maybe it's the weather or the holiday blues.  Decorating is just not as fun without the kids around.

Hubby's got some chicken and dumplings in the crockpot.      One of those frozen packages, so all he had to do was open it and dump it in.     It looks good!!!

Hope you are all safe where you are and having a good day!!!

KAT , how wonderful!!!!!  You did so good, great grades!!!  Be proud of yourself!!!    How is your weather there????????

GLORY, I think that probably was "The Twelve Days of Christmas"!! 

FRANKIE, wished I was at your house to watch all the family festivities and taste all that wonderful food!!!  I made your chocolate pie today.  It turned out great other than I couldn't get over how thick it got before I knew it!! 

Still snowing here and blowing like mad and drifting.  Another storm system coming tomorrow night they say!!!! 

[Clayhottiefan007]

Pepe ~ Thank you! Yeah I am very proud been a good but rough semester The weather is pretty nice right now we had some snow this week but its a okay!

[lolita]

Miss Betty, forgive…I keep forgetting to mention to you that I received the video you sent me. I watched it by myself late last night, thank you so much for taping the interview for me. I agree, Clay seemed nervous in the beginning but his happiness is visible. And I do believe that he worried about telling his grandparents. I love his home and I love that he is a “Hands on” dad. I was surprised to see the actor who played “Doggie Hawser M.D. (?)) I thought the guy was straight.

Kelly, the fourteen hours on the phone with DELL support, was it a local call?

Tiffany

Woody, could you share some of the “Funky” mood you are feeling, I could use a ton of it. Have fun wrapping presents.

Kat, congratulations on grades…

Pepe, stay warm, I love the snow but I don’t think my old body could handle too much of it.

[Clayhottiefan007]

Lolita ~ aww thanks

[fhmmany2]

 

I am tired, but it is a good tired. I have a pie and a cake to make tonight, but have stopped the holiday food to warm up some supper - left over spaghetti!

Lolita - I talked to Shirl today - she tells me it is still cold in California. She is on her way to the monthly Clay fan club meeting - she is spending the night and getting some shopping in, too.

Jan - you have to come to Louisiana. Gumbo is a thick soup. Start by making a roux (oli, flour, onion, celery, bell pepper, then throw in the kitchen - anything you like - smoked sausage, chicken, duck, shrimp, crab, crawfish, etc. It is alwyas served over rice, and in Louisiana (I did not know this until I moved here) with a side of potato salad.

Woody -  that Randy got to come home early. Everybody gets into the holiday blues sometimes - there is just so much to get done.

Kat -  there - I have done Liz's claymaniacs dance for you! Your grades are great! Enjoy the last half of your Senior Year - they will fly by!

Pepe - I hope my chocolate pie turns out well, too - and it does get thick in a hurry!

Glory - glad your tests turned out well - and I smile every time you talk about dropping by to see family - aren't you glad they are close?

dudley - are you lurking?  You were posting a lot a few days ago - I miss that!

No time to spell check - have to go check on the spaghetti - see you later!

[Clayhottiefan007]

Frankie ~ Hahahahahahaa aww thanks!!! Yeah they will for sure..me and my friend talked about that yesturday that man we're have half way through our senior year and we're like wow! haha aww thanks! its been hard!

[Pepe]

LOLITA, it is still snowing here at 9:00 pm.  It started snowing around 1:00 am this morning!!!!!  I don't think you would like it here in fact you might get buried in the snow if it doesn't stop soon.  Is everyone bringing a dish to your house for Christmas or do you have to cook for everyone??

DUDLEY, did  you buy hubby more presents?  I cut way back and didnt buy as much as I used to but I just have to get used to it.  It is hard to buy for people when they don't want anything and they have so much. 

GLORY, I see it was a spoof play!!!!  I bet it was funny!  Hey I would go to the market and buy a French Silk Pie in the freezer section.  I always see them there.

FRANKIE, I  used to fix a wonderful Shrimp Gumbo but I don't anymore since I am so highly allergic to shell fish.  I used to put it in wide bowls and served it with crusty French bread, it was hubby's favorite.   

Well I am sitting here taking my nebulizer treatments and I am done so am going to pick up my puppies and head to the bed to read for a while.  Wishing you all a goodnight and stay warm.

[corbet]

   
     Kat,
              WOW! your test results are fantastic. Way to go. Hope Santa will
       reward you.
                                              Betty
 


         Lolita,
                 i"m glad you got the video and got the chance to watch it.
  I agree Clay seems very happy.

           Sorry are having such cold weather. Shirl said she is freezing.

        I"m almost ashamed to mention our warm weather, I wish I could
          send you some.

            Corina and I went out to dinner  and then finished up our shopping.
            Got most of the wrapping done, it"s so tiring.
                                                          Betty
     
 

[corbet]

   Pepe,
 
          Hope you are warm and snuggled up in bed with your puppies.
          I agree it"s hard to get presents for people, they seem to go out
         and get what they want anyway.
     
                 I love chocolate pie too.
                                                            Betty

[corbet]

   
    Frankie,
                I"m glad you described Gumbo I had no idea what it was.It"s so interesting
       reading about the kind of food  people eat in the different areas of America.
   
          Not sure what I will be making for Christmas Day. We spend the day at Debbie"s
        and share the cooking. I know we are cooking the turkey and dressing and I always
        make a lemon meringue pie.  I fix banana and blueberry breads and sausage rolls, etc.
         for breakfast as we go over early to watch the children open their presents then come
          back home for a while.
       
              Shirl called me this morning just before she left, said she was freezing. I hope she found
           her brothers gift as she could not remember where it was.

                             Enjoy your family.
                                                            Betty


 

[corbet]

    GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE ,  SWEET DREAMS.

[fhmmany2]

 

Good Morning!

I'm the only one up - don't you just love a quiet house before a busy day?

Betty - I am glad to hear that you got your shopping and wrapping done. I talked to Shirl last night from her hotel room - she gave me a couple of magazines to post. She is looking forward to her meeting, and no, she did not find the gift she bought for her grandson in New York - but I'm sure it will turn up!

dudley -  Wow! - I would be tired if I had done everything you have in the last few days! Getting your house in order does make you feel better. I stopped organizing when Christmas came along - but I will get back to it soon. I bet we have around 200 photos in frames - I hope most of them will be in albums by the end of the winter. I have boxes of framed photos from both of our Mom's houses.

I haven't turned a TV on yet - hope everyone in the winter storms were able to keep power on. If you are in the ice and snow - stay safe. 

Have a great weekend, everyone - I probably will not be back on until late Sunday night - take care of each other!

[KSChristian4Clay]

Good morning everyone! 

[Pepe]

BETTY, try and get extra rest in between cooking!!!!  You can send a slice of that lemon pie to my house!!! 

DUDLEY, what a wonderful post.  How I loved reading about all the things you have been doing.  Sometimes people don't post because they say they don't have anything to talk about.  Just talking about your day is entertaining to me.  You got so much done and I know that makes you feel so good.  Sounds like QVC loves you with all that you ordered.  I usually buy a Hormel Spiral sliced ham.  THey are always the cheapest and always the best at a $1.98 a lb.  I have changed my  mind so many times what I am having also  trying to think of the easiest things to make.   I have decided to make lasagna.  I can make that the day before Christmas and bake it on Christmas day with a holiday tossed salad of different lettuces/red pepper strips/cauliflower flowrets/cherry tomatoes/thinly sliced cucumbers.  Hot rolls and cherry cheescake that I will make and hope it turns out. Have to start baking my Christmas cookie Tuesday to. 

FRANKIE, enjoy your weekend and hope  you can take some pictures for all of us.

PRISSY, enjoy your special luncheon today.  I told JoAnn to take some pictures hope she remembers.   

 

[geraldine]

  Good Moning Everyone.
