Christmas Countdown - 2010

[kerstig]

Hii every one! Can't believe it's already friday! Whilst tomorrow (saturday) we go looking and possibly buying a house! (very scary for first time house-buyers like we are!) And Sunday is Saint Nicholasday! My boyfriend said that we might get a Christmas tree tomorrow, even though it's before the Saint Nicholas celebration, because he didn't think to have time to get it during next week...So all is great! I am sooo excited!
Now I need to get some homework done, and get my Saint Nicholas shopping done! Due to all my excitedment totally forgotten about that! Oh and it's a winter wonderland here as well: totally covered in snow
Lots of good things for all of you and a merry Friday from Holland!

Happy Friday.
Today is my Christmas "floater" and I am off.
I have to bring dd to work for 7:30, stop at Walmart (have pics that need to be printed for scrapping) and then head home so I can get some decorating done.
Today is day 2 of my official "restart" on Weight Watchers. New program, new start.
Have a great day everyone.:merry:

My Punkin'
Hi Christmas family. I have some really sad news,
I am afraid. I don't know where to post this...I had it another place but after a while I didnT feel that was where it belonged so
i will try here..........

I know a lot of you have been sending me your support and well wishes about my kitty, Punkin'. Punkin' had to be put to sleep today about an hour ago. If I am not making any sense, please forgive me. I had been hoping and praying that somehow the medicine would work. That she would gain weight. She ate well but still lost weight. Today when we took her for a checkup it was found that she was also slightly anemic as well. She had taken to eating litter sometimes which is very odd. She also barely weighd 5 pounds despite my always feeding her every single minute that I could get her to eat. The doctor said it was her liver.

Punkin' actually rescued me as all my furchildren have. It was Summer 15 years ago and every time I went outside that year I heard a kitten crying. One time when I was outside I happened to look across the street and poking her head out from under a bush by a house was Punkin'. She was a Calico and her coat was all sorts of beautiful shades of orange. And so tiny. She had 2 collars on which made me wonder if she already had a home but I watched the paper for weeks after I brought her home and there was nobody looking for a Calico.

So she became part of the family. She had the funniest meow. She sounded more like a musical instrument than a kitty. I had been so lonely that Summer and I guess Punkin' must have known it because she chose me. I am going to miss her more than I can ever say. I did not want her to die but I also did not want her to suffer.

One thing that Punkin' used to do among many which was very endearing was that every time or any time I would cry, she would come and meow with that funny voice as if telling me to cheer up. I would give almost ANYHTHING to hear that sweet little voice now..............

I am so sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose a furry family member. I will keep you in prayer. (((hugs)))

******* CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY #21 *******

Good Morning, Friends.
Welcome to another Weekend Eve.
Wow! Hard to believe we will complete 3 weeks of Christmas Season 2010 at the end of the day.

Things are moving so fast!
I am busy helping my father get his Christmas cards done and have been decorating my condo this morning.
Tomorrow, my father, sister and I will go get our trees and poinsettias as is our long standing tradition for the first Saturday in December.
We make a couple of stops and always have lunch at the "Seaboard Cafe" in "Logans Trading Center" where we get the poinsettias and usually the tree. (I will bring my camera!)

The count:
Days to Christmas Day: 22 (Three weeks form tomorrow, Folks!)
It's getting closerer and closerer!

It is a coldish 37 degrees here this morning but calm and sunny as usual.
Looks like conditions will be similar for tomorrow when we go after the tree.

Sorry to hear about your kitty, Caninemom. It is always sad to loose a family member.
My niece has a calico who is 11 years old and, fortunately, in good health. They have such beautifully exotic coats.

Well, have a Fabulous Friday, Everybody.
Enjoy your day and the upcoming first weekend in December!

Good morning,

I feel like I am in a fog this morning, I got nearly 8 hours of sleep last night and I feel like I could go for a few more hours.
I posted the pictures of the Coca Cola truck http://mymerrychristmas.com/forum/album.php?albumid=523
Hope you all have a good day!

 

[Undrtakr]

Caninemom - I'm very sorry for your loss. I have lost many cats and dogs through the years. But one day you will find another one that will melt your heart. We are all here for you! *hugs*

 

[Bradmac]

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

I'm still a congested, and not feeling 100%, but I'm hanging in there! Saving my vacation time for Christmas holidays with the kids. We're going to the mountians!

Our phones here at work are on the blink, and I can't say I'm sorry. It's nice to get some work done without the phone interrupting all day.

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Hope you are feeling better soon Bradmac!

Caninemom, very sorry to hear about your loss, one of the saddest things is losing a loved pet, Punkin' will always be with you in your heart though

Hope everyone here is doing well and having a great first Friday of December!

I posted my first blog entry here on MMC this morning, a caffeine fueled little story I was inspired to post after a reply I made to game in the forum games section here at MMC

I am so sorry to hear about your baby. I will be sure to go home and give my kitties an extra hug today. I am thinking about you CainineMom.

 

[MsChristmas]

Well its Friday! I do not have a full work week until the New Year. I only work Monday and Friday next week. I am excited. Im starting to feel better but now will be going to the dentist this afternoon because of a tooth ache. Ouch they are the worst. It has not been a good week for me! We are suppose to get our real tree tomorrow and Im going to make a Turkey dinner with all of the yummies (since we spend Thanksgiving at my parents and In Laws). I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

My goodness, Brad. Please forgive me !! I was so consumed by grief I didn't even notice you said you are sick !! I hope you are feeling better soon and thank you for your comments about Punkin'.

Hope you feel better soon! Try and get rest in time!
Mountains sound great! Where do you go? Are the mountains there high?? I usually go to the Mt. Blanc area to see mountains, but I would love to go to Tibet and Nepal to see the Himalaya highs one time Maybe when I have money to travel Asia ( my dream, because I have studied Chinese, and my boyfriend was born in Seoul)

 

[judesmama]

Oh, caninemom, I am so so sorry for your loss. Punkin will always be your Christmas angel, watching over you. She had to get to heaven before Christmas to make sure to bless each and every day for you leading up to the holidays. I hope you can find some peace in the fact that she isn't suffering or sick. Big hugs!

I have to read through these old posts! I've been MIA a bit! Sorry about that! It's hard to find the time to get on and read/post with 2 little guys

My husband just got a new cell phone 3 weeks ago only to get it stolen yesterday. We are so upset. So many pics/videos on there, including old ones of our first baby (on a memory card). What kind of person steals like that? And wouldn't you feel guilty to find out it was a hardworking dad's phone filled with pictures of his precious babies? Oh well, that person has to live with their sins.. not me. My uncle is so kind and offered to buy my husband a new one (it's one of those Droid thingies so it's pretty darn costly - ugh!) Thank goodness for family.

Hope you are doing well, everyone. We baked cookies with friends yesterday and Jude had a BLAST decorating them... he made one GIGANTIC lump of a cookie and just slathered the rest with frosting and sprinkles - too cute!! Then he fell asleep on the steps, lol!!
