hen -- hiya marg, Merry Christmas!
jendaisy -- Hi marg
marg -- Hi all! Merry Christmas!
hen -- ty
hen -- its good to see you
jendaisy -- I've just had more time to read and managed to give myself a pretty nice french manacure too
jendaisy -- merry christmas to you marg
hen -- cool jen
marg -- I tried very hard to avoid Christmas shopping this year! I am a scrooge when it comes to shopping.
hen -- how's everything marg
hen -- lol, now don't be a scrooge marg
jendaisy -- Not me I have to have all my shopping done no later than a month early
marg -- You gave yourself a manicure, jen? I am really bad at doing anything with my nails. I hack em all up!
hen -- wow jen ur good
jendaisy -- I got this cool nail set with stencils and neat tools that help
hen -- nice
jendaisy -- it's something i can still do myself so i enjoy it
marg -- I spent 4 hours at the mall on Monday. Bought a pair of socks and a calendar.
hen -- right
hen -- no way marg lol
jendaisy -- and was 2 hours of that waiting in line?
hen -- giggle
marg -- It isn't that i can't physically do my nails, I just have no talent in that direction! LOL
marg -- Actually, the only place that had any lines was Pennys. I didn't but anything there.
jendaisy -- yeah one of my favorite people i used to visit was my mom's manacurist and she taught me some
marg -- That is nice, jen. Nice looking hands helps a lot to make you feel confident and gives a good impression of you to others.
hen -- cool jen
jendaisy -- do you guys have a costco where you live?
marg -- We have a Costco. Was just there when it first opened.
hen -- we do but not members
jendaisy -- okay so you probably know about how wild people get there. I almost got beat up in the toy part this week
hen -- no way
hen -- terrible
jendaisy -- my wheelchair puts my shoulder and face at elbow level, so i got jabbed a couple times and someone actually stepped back onto my foot which was on my foot board, and when i said something to her she acted like it was my fault
marg -- I stay from places like that at busy times. We go to Walmart at 7am when we need anything there.
jendaisy -- the sad part was that the toy wasn't on my list my sister-in-law wanted it and costco was the only place that had it, and after all that it was already sold out
marg -- I know what you are saying jen. I had a couple pushy people at the mall too.
jendaisy -- don't you just wanna run them over?lol
