Christmas Countdown - 2011

[caninemom3]

Good evening,


Sitting here watching a heck of a hockey game, which started with a powerful performance of "God Bless America." Looking forward to my day off tomorrow, going to get my haircut, I am starting to look like a Chia pet. I am a little tired but I got to stay up to cheer for the Bruins.

Have a good night!

You just made me laugh for the very first time today !! A Chia pet, really ?? You are too cute ! Good luck to your Bruins !!

Looks like we actually have a majority government! The conservatives are winning with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
What an upset for the liberals with them loosing so many seats and the New Democrats actually winning official opposition, something that has never happened here in Canada before.

Another nailbiter of a game but my Bruins pulled it out in overtime yet again, I love this sport, but it is so emotionally draining. Phewwww!

God Bless You, RJD. My prayers are for a quick recovery and for the healing to be quicker.

If I never hear another tornado siren in my life it will be too soon. There were times last Wednesday when the siren wouldn’t even be cleared from one warning before another sounded.

By now most of the major highways have been cleared of debris. However, crews will be working for months to come to clear the roadside of all the debris that was removed from the lanes of traffic. There are still very large numbers of people without power as crews work to restore downed tower structures and transmission lines. Many larger cities such as Huntsville, AL have a dusk to dawn curfew. To be out on the streets at night without working traffic signals is just too dangerous .

A major route is being shut down locally this morning while cadaver dogs search for more victims. The death numbers you are seeing reported are only the confirmed. Sadly, this same scenario is being played out throughout Central and Northern Alabama as well as parts of Mississippi, Tennessee, and Georgia.

Some local TV and radio stations finally started showing regular programs on a limited basis yesterday but for the most part are broadcasting local recovery information.

Understand that all is well in my part of the state…considering. The carnage and destruction begins one county down and one county over from me in Alabama and two counties southwest into Mississippi. The small towns of Smithville, Mississippi, Hackleburg, Alabama, and Phil Campbell, Alabama are no more. These close knit communities are hurting. Literally every person left of the population has suffered loss of family members and property. Three people from the office where I work lost homes or suffered serious property damage. One man from the office from which I retired lost his mother. Her funeral is today. Certainly there are many small communities across the region experiencing the same trial.

Forgive me for being a downer but this is the first time I have even been emotionally recovered enough to talk about it. My FaceBook status of last Thursday was all I could say at the time. My wife, children, grandchildren, and brother (though his power is off) are safe. We are blessed.

I sure would like to hear from Sugarplum Fairy. I did hear from primchristmas in hard hit Tuscaloosa, Alabama (about 110 miles south of me) yesterday. Her power was out and she has been out in the community helping her friends in true need. The Christmas Spirit personified!

Yep, a Chia pet, just not green though. My hair grows straight up and out, other names for my hair that are fitting, a q-tip, a shrub. I need gel to keep it down, and thats why I almost always where a hat. cheesy

The doctor called about my MRI and wants me to come in today!! I guess something might be wrong if he called today and wants to see me today! I'll let you know when I return. Have a great afternoon!

I hope everything is OK.

At least you will be having a government... Here in Belgium, national elections were held in june 2010, and still they haven't been able to form a federal government yet. Imagine that!

For all of you suffering from back pains: I hope you get better soon!

Morning all! I loaded some Christmas music on my ipod the other day. Always nice to have it where ever you go. William had a bad night of screaming, kicking and smacking. We were up for just about the whole night. I got out of work early yesterday and I'm hoping for the same today because I'm very tired. Ill have to search to see if any good Christmas shows are coming on. Anyone ever see Invasion of the Christmas Lights on TLC? I have it on my hdd recorded. I might have to post it, but would copyright laws take it down? Have a good day everyone!

Anyone ever see Invasion of the Christmas Lights on TLC?

I have that recorded and watch it a few times a year. It is awesome!

Good morning!

I hope this finds all back and tail bone pain sufferers better!

It was in the 30s this morning - can't believe it is May! The garden is going to be so late going in this year. I worked in the basement yesterday and the dehumidifier would not go on - going to have someone look at it later today. I consolidated two totes, found enough stuff to stock for next month, and gathered up two bags of trash - still so much to do down there.

Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!

I watched a Christmas movie last night that is a true story that had some very powerful moments that brought tears to my eyes. There were tears of joy and tears of sadness throughout the movie. Maybe some of you have seen it but if you haven't I highly recommend it!

Here is a brief description of what it's about:

Joyeux Noel: On Christmas Eve during world War I, the Germans, French, and Scottish fraternize and get to know the men who live on the opposite side of a brutal war, in what became a true lesson of humanity.

Oh yes........
