Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Seawaters]

I agree. I think many of our thoughts were on Diana as well. I was privileged to go to a display of her clothes in Washington, DC. It was fantastic and reflected the beauty and grace of Diana herself. I see that same grace and beauty in Katherine. You all may well be proud on this day!

i'm still on a high from our future king and queen's wedding this morning!

her royal highness duchess of cambridge (or princess kate as i call her!) is just breath taking and i'm sure she and diana would have been so close.

i was reading an interview last week and it was mentioned that when diana had her title taken away from her, prince william gave her a tissue as she was crying and said "don't worry mummy, when i'm king i shall give it back to you" it really moved me, he adored her and it's heartbreaking that she wasn't here to see her first born marry. prince william was also speaking of giving his mother's ring to kate and he said "it's a way of connecting the two most important women in my life" that also really moved me, but i'm sure diana will be looking down so proud.

CM3,
How cute is this picture!

I got very weepy when I saw Prince Wiliam arrive at the church with his brother. I know The People's Princess was there with her babies.....I just wish it could have been in the flesh.......xo

It looks like my day is going to be extremely lazy and I think I am just going to go with it and enjoy every minute of it!

I have been going non-stop for 7 days straight including watching the grandkids for 11 hours a day. Wow! It's so different from when I was raising children myself 24/7 but now that I am not raising little ones anymore, I feel more worn out watching them for 11 hours a day!

I hope everyone has a Wonderful Weekend! cheesy

I hate to sound stupid..but I have a question about the royals if anyone can help me that would be great. okay If kate and William be King and queen one day,what is Queen elizabeth's husband? I mean he is not king just because his wife is queen right? and would the same not apply to Kate then? and will Willaims father charles be king before william? I was hearing on the news that Diana never wanted Charles to be king and there was a way to bypass it straight to William somohow.

At the wedding, they referred to him as the consort to the queen.

Good afternoon!

The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for the river in my neighborhood. We are about a mile from the river and usually don't have problems when it floods, but the basement has a puddle in it now since there was so much rain. It isn't big enough to pump out yet, but I keep checking it every hour.

Mouse seems better - thank you to all for the prayers! - she is keeping to herself today and hanging out by the heater.

It is going to be a long day and I only had about an hour of sleep. Should sleep great tonight, though!

Have a great day!!!!

His title is Prince Philip and I believe what Seawaters said as well but I would think he would be king if he married a queen. I read an explanation of it at one time but still didn't quite understand it.

I guess it's time to google! cheesy

 

[Meceka]

Prince Philip, the son of Prince Andrew of Greece, was born Prince of Greece and Denmark. Upon his marriage, he was given the title "Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, and Baron Greenwich," and was made a Knight of the Garter. When he became a British citizen, he renounced his Greek and Danish titles. In 1957, Queen Elizabeth granted Philip the title "Prince of the United Kingdom."

In Britain, you cannot become King by marriage.

RATS !!!!

My eating obsession is going nuts again !!! I know I can afford a few pounds but that is the point, I cant just gain a FEW. It's my personality - ALL OR NOTHING. Have always been like this. I HATE IT !!! I try to stay away from foods that I know are going to "trigger" me into a binge........But it is not working. I have tried it all........tried thinking of other things, working out, reading, etc. The dang food has this little voice that ALWAYS get me......"Oh Caninemom3.......come on, have a little snack on us.......we wont hurt you........" Okay. Now you all now I am certifiable.

Seriously, I am really quite frightened. It is true what they say. One bite too many and 1,000 bites are not enough.......If I gain it back this time my old lady metabolism will not let me lose any more......Still I have this stupid compulsion.......I know what will happen if I act on it .............but I can't stop myself.

Okay. Crazy Canine rant over. Please say a prayer okay ? xoox
