I find it so distracting and irritating. Also, thought since Hubs is from Tennessee, I would mention that we beat Middle Tennessee in the bowl game. They were a good team and some really nice guys. One of the defensive guys patted Jackson and complimented him on the way he hit him. You don't find that very often.Elizabeth "Libby" Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145264016754286426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-85589628661846748362016-01-06T12:52:28.272-05:002016-01-06T12:52:28.272-05:00Oh, give the tree another day or two.

Oh, my, I almost blew a gasket! I was on my laptop and it is so, so sensitive and I have no idea what on earth I might have mistakenly hit but nonetheless, I didn't have time to redo. Shucks! And, know it is so aggravating that you do not have a clear and strong wifi signal.

I just remembered a frustration we have had but I didn't post about it. Our DVR's keep rebooting for some reason. Good word to add to the list. I keep telling my husband he needs to go to bed earlier. He watches TV, falls asleep for awhile then wakes up and stays up past midnight when he just has to get up at 5:30. I think he needs a solid sleep. I'm glad to hear that your tree is still up. Mary at Life in a Small Town talks about waiting for the Epiphany and I like that idea. By the way that is today!
