Christmas Countdown - 2011

Good morning! having no voice is very frustrating. I was hoping I would wake up and it would be better but no still no voice except for some occasional squeeks that come out. I guess we are doing written work today in class,and it will put me one day behind,gosh I can't believe this. xmas365 thanks for the you tube clip! very funny

I am so glad I am not 14 again even if my voice sounds like it!
We are moving along in the year and before you know it summer will be here! I see I missed Christmas Vacation on comedy central! I think the thing that is special about it coming on tv,even if we own the DVD's is that you know others are watching it with you at the same time! I am the same way about Halloween movies on AMC channel that comes on in July!! I hope everyone has a good monday!

If somebody tells you not to talk, don't talk! I thought I knew better (about 5 years ago now) and because it didn't hurt when I tried to talk, I still tried. 3 months later, I still didn't have a voice and I'd damaged the vocal cords so much, they weren't convinced it would come back properly.

If you can't talk, DON'T TRY!!!!!!!!! Here endeth the lesson!!

PS
People wish I would shut up now - go figure!!!

Good morning fellow Christmas lovers! I'm so excited because March Madness starts this week. Not only that but I'm leaving Wednesday for Montreal to visit my son. Going to be a busy and fun week. Wishing everyone a great day!

My absence had nothing to do with being sick, sometimes I just take a break from some things. No particular reason, nobody did anything wrong, just didn't come on for a while.

Clarification, my love, you have been sick too and missed work Friday. I know what you meant by just taking a break from things. cheesy

That is a good point about us all watching the movie together!

I am still feeling crummy! I feel like I am coming down with a cold, thanks Wayne! :wink: I have already felt bad all week and now this. We are such a giving couple. We keep giving a cold back and forth to each other! cheesy I have an 11 hour day with the grandkids so I hope I start feeling better!!!

^ Hope you feel better soon, CAH!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It was a beautiful weekend! I got up Saturday before daylight and started grilling chickens for the church BBQ, then rode in the parade in town, representing the Bellville City Council. then I went out watch my daughter's dance class exhibition at the Rattlesnake Roundup. We spent the day out there. I KNOW better than to ride with my wife somewhere like that. She'll talk to anyone who will slow down long enough to listen. When we finally left (after the place closed down), there were only, like, 12 cars in the parking lot. I wanted to go fishing!

Jacob and I finally got to go fishing yesterday afternoon. He caught 3 nice bass, I didn't catch anything, but it was nice to get out on the pond.

I hope you all have a great day!

Good Morning MMC !

Beautiful sunny day here, so nice to see the sun out, always makes a body feel better!
I have so much to do today, so I thought I would start by checking in here and saying good morning to all my crazy Christmas friends! (works as well as sunshine to make a body feel better!)

Have a fantastic day everyone!!

Didn't say I wasn't sick, I just said my absence had nothing to do with being sick.

Coolish here where we stand at 48 under cloudy skies.

(At least the weekend was nice. Got that mailbox painted!)

You have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone!

Good morning, Christmas friends. It is dark here in northern California. I hate the spring forward thing, but I do love the fall back. I like to come home in the late afternoon in fall when it's getting dark. I hope everyone has a great day.
