21 more shopping days 'til Chirstmas

This post finds me upset that my home computer is on the fritz. I still think is a plot by Microsoft edging people to by Windows 7. My sis bought her laptop at the same time and it was on the outs last week. 2 other friends find themselves in similar situations. I knew I should have backed up info last week.... I do have some of my important info on a flash drive and printed out.

On to the week. Mr. S and I have a holiday party on Saturday with the Dive Club in Ft. Lauderdale. I have to figure out all the outfits we need between now and the holidays so I can get things dry cleaned and ready.

I have been able to do some shopping already and our list has been trimmed down. The family will be the more elaborate gifts. The way things have been, I have been looking for gifts people can use and enjoy at home. Many have been saving their pennies by doing things at home.

I have the idea of getting friends together and have a beach or a park picnic ... everybody bring something to share ... and after, hit the local watering hole. It's the same cast of characters, but in a different setting. It would also be fun to do something outdoors. Maybe Mrs. Astor will have some ideas? (Hint, hint, wink).

Well...will catch up with you later. I am presently with Nicholas helping him study for 2 tests and we just finished his reading project. Have a good weekend ...
