Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Christmas-A-Holic]

I joined TOPS (take off pounds sensibly) and have lost 28.2 lbs in 12 weeks. I have the same problem as you, my clothes is very loose now, much of it no longer fitting. But it sure feels great doesn't it!
I have been counting calories, eating much more healthy foods and moving more, mostly walking.

Congratulations!

December 1953 edition of Jack and Jill.
It has some nice Christmas stories, letters from kids that will now be in their 60's. The cutouts are the only thing missing, other wise the magazine is in great shape!

That looks really neat! I love old magazines with Christmas stuff in it. I remember reading Jack and Jill but from the 70's. I liked it.

Im feeling much better this afternoon just a little tired still..hopefully my Baby will sleep good tonight. I am off of work tomorow and we are going to the Zoo. Im sure the kiddies will enjoy it but its suppose to be 97 degrees..ugh we are going to leave early and probably wont be staying too long because of the heat!

I am glad you are feeling better.

Good afternoon Christmas friends! This week in the mail I got a catalog/offer to buy the Gooseberry Patch Country Friends Christmas book! It looks really good! The recipes they show look delicious & cute crafts! You also get to keep a cute Christmas tote (just for looking) that says “Home For the Holidays – The ornaments of the house are the friends who frequent it” CUTE! I went to Ben Franklin over the weekend & they are putting out Christmas/snowmen things! 1 shelf full! So hard to believe!!!! I love it, though I’m not ready for it!!! Loving summer too much!

I love hearing that businesses are getting ready for Christmas!

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing good.

Did I mention how hot is here??

It's miserable heat here too!

Can one of you all send those storms out to PA???? It's hot as heck here!!!! The home inspection was BRUTAL - and the poor inspector was up on that hot roof... I felt so bad for him! We had to keep all the windows closed, too, due to the radon testing. But, all in all, it went well and I'm feeling pretty darn good about this house!!! Maybe we won't be homeless forever afterall, hehe!

Glad to hear it's going well!

My mother picked up my 2 grandsons and took them to see Toy Story 3. I am here with my 10 month old granddaughter. She is a very well behaved baby and I was considering taking her along to the movies too but didn't want to chance it. She might not hold up for a whole movie and I would end up spending my time in the lobby so I wouldn't bother others. If I go see Toy Story 3, I want to see the whole movie. I loved the first 2. I even took my kids when they were little to both movies and to Toy Story on Ice. That was the best ice show that I ever been to. My mother is a Toy Story fan as well. She had to pick up the boys as an excuse to see it. Hehe! cheesy

My husband took our 2 year old on Father's Day and said it was cute! Although.. they missed the last 45 minutes because our son said, "Daddy? Drive? Go home?" hehe! He LOVES Toy Story but I guess he got tired of it!

Good to see you! I hope you are feeling a lot better and best of luck to you on your job interview! Don't give up on your goal for weight loss. We have a couple of people on here doing the same with success and I am sure they have great tips for you. cheesy

Good evening to all!

Not much to talk about today, school is finally done so my wife is home for the summer. Lots of family bonding time now. 3 more days until the surprise 60th birthday party for my father in law. We are having it at our house, from what I heard at least 24 people are coming, lots of cleaning to get done.

Have a good night all!


Brent---what do you think of the Bruins trade for Horton. I personally like the move.

Well I am getting ready to head out for my mini vacation. It looks like it is going to be extremely hot today but then it is going to cool down a little bit for the rest of the week. There are some storms around this morning so I have decided to take my moms car down instead of my truck. I don't want everything to get wet in the back of the truck. It should be a fun couple of days. I should be back sometime late friday just in time for our next milestone. I hope everyone has a GREAT COUPLE OF DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[trackrebel]

sorry about u r asthma...I hope it will at least recover a bit

Feel better soon, Track!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a busy week with Vacation Bible School every afternoon. My son had his first official guitar lesson yesterday. I've play all my life, but I play by ear, and I wanted him to have a better understanding of guitar theory than I have. I've shown him many chords and the basics of putting a song together. I'm sure my pride shone through when the instructor came up to me after Jacob's first lesson and told me how quickly he picked it up. A chip off the old block..LOL!

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Middle-of-the-week greetings to one and all.

Yes, we are again at the peak of the week and as usual, the view to the weekend looks great!
Especially for the Crowns who are off on their annual visit to our relatives in Melbourne, Florida.
We leave bright and very early Friday morning, which again brings up the need for a countdown volunteer. Said lucky (or unlucky?) member would be needed for this Friday morning through the following Tuesday morning (5 posts).
Any takers?

And speaking of the count:
Days to the Season: 143
Days to Christmas Day: 185
And we draw ever nearer to the half way mark to Christmas, which Milestone arrives this Saturday, now under half a week away!
(So close to such a major Milestone and I'll miss it! Rats!)

Wow. We hit 98 degrees here for our high yesterday with 99 predicted for this afternoon.
We have a 30% chance of rain today. Perhaps that will cool things off a bit if it can materialize.

Well, have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everybody!
Holiday, Carl and I will be on hand at the 'Pines to welcome all visitors.
(And the first glass of Sweet Southern Iced Tea is on the house!)

Sounds like fun! Enjoy your day.

Well I am getting ready to head out for my mini vacation.

Enjoy your vacation. We will be leaving for our train trip soon ourselves. I can't wait.

My son had his first official guitar lesson yesterday.

I am surprised my son never got interested in guitar. His dad plays all the time.

Especially for the Crowns who are off on their annual visit to our relatives in Melbourne, Florida.

Enjoy your time!
