Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Christmas-A-Holic]

i've posted a thread in 'christmas together' just explaining my absence. my stupid computer is broken and i won't be getting another one until october. when i have my computer back i will have some making up to do on this thread and i can't wait!

Good to see you Johnor!

It was an up and down day for me today. It started out with a headache - it went away for a while - then came back as a migraine. I will be hitting the hay early tonight.

I hope you are feeling better today!

My sinuses are still killing me, been a long day.

I hope you get better!

Evening all. Work tomorrow. Sheesh. hah. BUT awesome news. Saturday we bought a new washer and dryer from the Brick. We were entered into a store wide draw (200 stores) to win different items. Didn't think we would win but God was smiling down on us! We paid 1,635.00 for the washer/dryer, delivery and removal of the old ones. Well. The Brick called us and said we won! We won our purchase! They said the bill is now 0 dollars!! We owe NOTHING! Went in and signed the papers today! Sweet! Enjoy your evening all!

Awesome! Congratulations!

Hey all. It just dawned on me I haven't shared any of my art work with you! I consider myself an artist. One day back about 6 years ago I saw Jesus as a reflection in a window. Nobody else was behind me but Him. He was smiling at me and the day after that I got a call for a job interview. I am not good at drawing people BUT I tried a shot at drawing Jesus and it came out pretty good! Enjoy!

Great job!

Yesterday I went to work and wasn't feeling too good then I had to mix up some garden fertilizer that contains a lot of ingredients I am allergic to. The warehouse guys usually do that but he was so busy I did it myself. BIG MISTAKE! I had a customer who needed some. I mixed it up and would hold my breath and turn my head away but it was dusty and I had to eventually breath! Lol. I guess I inhaled some of it because right after that I went into a major allergy attack and got very ill, sneezy, sore throat, headache. watery eyes, etc. Allergies really drag me down. Everyone there told me to never do that again! They told me I better get someone else to handle it next time but I was trying to help because everyone else was busy. When I came home I showered and went to bed and didn't even come on here to MMC! My sweet hubby brought my dinner to me in bed. I was too sick to stand in the kitchen to cook. Probably not a good idea either with a drippy nose! Lol! I still feel a bit yucky today but hopefully after coffee I will feel better.

I hope you all have a great Monday!

Listen Kid........I would lay odds I am at least 10 years older than you !!! So No..........you are not getting old !!!

Ok, maybe not old, but at least addle-brained!

HA! I made a video for my Mom today of me playing and singing "Amazing Grace" on the guitar!

You should upload it to Youtube and post a link for us!

Hi everybody!!!!

Our sweet baby BOY has finally arrived!!! We are beyond thrilled. His name is Noel (pronounced KNOLL but I love it of it's Christmas origins!!!) Philip and he was born Thursday night at 9:50 after a very short labor. 7lb 12 oz, 20.5 inches long... more than a pound less than big brother Jude! He's so sweet and Jude is in LOVE with his new brother. We are so happy!

That's wonderful! You have a beautful family!

You lucky dog! I never win anything. cheesy

Pretty good, indeed! You are very talented!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

I had a busy weekend, working, fixing the lawnmower (again), doing my honey-do's, etc. I haven't had a chance to post this weekend, and it took me a while to catch up.

This weather is beautiful, it was 85° yesterday! I thought it might snow! Ok, maybe not, but after weeks of upper 90's - lower 100's, 85° is Heaven.

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Good (new week) Morning, Everyone!

The sun is shining, birds are singing, dogs are barking, children are screaming, Jay is dancing, Maureen is plaiding, Binger is slurping, Crown is sleeping and all is right with the world!
(Well, actually I'm not sleeping RIGHT now. Couldn't sleep and type at the same time, could I? Or COULD I??)

A new week -- a new count figure:
Days to the Season: 75
Days to Christmas Day: 117
And we are now UNDER 2 1/2 weeks away from the 100-day Milestone to Christmas!

We stand at very-nice-for-late-August 71 degrees at this hour here in Raleigh.
(I really should be out walking instead of typing this!)

Well, enjoy your day. (Yes, this is possible even on a Monday)
And speaking of Monday, have a Marvelous one, Folks!

Well...I'm taking the day off to recover from the terrible migraine I had last night. I've just got to be careful today - so that I don't relapse.

I hope you get lots of rest!!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!! I am off to a slow start this morning. It is going to be a long day and I am not that motivated to get it started. I have a couple of errands to run this morning and then it will be back home to do some cleaning before mom gets home around midnight tonight. I also need to get some paperwork done for work. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Good morning, everyone!

No work, but a busy day today. It is my last day in Ottawa. I am leaving for North Bay tomorrow and will begin my Bachelor of Education at Nip*issing on Wednesday. It was quite a fun weekend in Ottawa. Had some great times with friends. I will still see them a lot, so I am not too upset about leaving for a month at a time.

I'd love to catch up with all the posts, but I have a list of about 10 things to do today. Most of them involve me busing about an hour. Not fun! At least it will all be capped off this evening with a delicious all-you-can-eat buffet.

Great to see the count hit the mid 70s! I do not think I will be around tomorrow, but I will do my best to come on Wednesday. I am taking the Greyhound from Ottawa to North Bay tomorrow at 10 and will probably not arrive until 3. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. The next weekend is the final weekend of summer! Thankfully, it is a long one!

Have a great Monday, everyone! We are another week closer to Christmas.
