Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Seawaters]

Both of your pics were so cute. I will let you know what I have. I have NOT cut mine up!!!

Good evening, Christmas family.....


Nothing big planned for tonight. I have to say I don't understand why this job makes me so much more tired than any other job I have ever had.....But it does. By the time Friday morning comes I am exhausted.........So, not much for me tonight but RELAXATION !!


Seawaters.........I do have Diana and Prince Charles paper dolls !! Cant tell you how much I love this simple "toy". I have always been interested in fashion and what a wonderful way for kids to learn about different eras,cultures,etc. !!!!

Have a wonderful evening, Christmas family. I hope everyone's backs are better !!!


Here is a picture I thought was so cute I wanted to share it with my Christmas family............xoox

Laney, Laney, Laney!!!

So happy for you!!!

Hey there Christmas friends! Hope all is well with you guys I'm still busy, busy with work at the restaurant, but we are slowly getting things under control. Tomorrow is my first day off (besides Sundays) since April 2nd! And I have a GREAT reason to take the day off - I'm graduating! I've been working on my bachelors degree off and on for almost 11 years, so I'm pretty excited. I don't think I thought this day would ever come!

So, I guess I have the whole weekend to relax now. I could use it! I'll be going to a home party tomorrow night, so maybe I'll use it to pick up a few Christmas presents. We shall see. I also think that I'll take the opportunity to get a massage that I've had a gift certificate for. I wonder if I could convince the massage therapist to play Christmas music for me in the background. That would truly help me relax!

Hubby and I are trying to decide about a movie to watch tonight. I was thinking Love Actually or The Holiday. He was thinking Star Wars. Hmmm...we seem to be on very different pages, don't we? Here's hoping that I win this one!

Have a great evening everyone

I think they do. But the answer is what do YOU think, not what your friend thinks!!!

A friend had to put to sleep their 12-year old dog today and I was curious if you believe dogs and other animals go to heaven after they pass away? I ask because there is someone at my work who said dogs don't have a soul, so they will not get to heaven. It made me think what others have to say on this topic.

Thanks and I hope everyone has a great weekend.

I don't want to open a bucket of worms but as far as my own personal belief......yes, I believe they have souls. I believe they go to heaven. I believe if human beings can go to heaven that animals who are completely innocent certainly can. I am looking forward to seeing my beloved furchildren who have gone on some day..xo

Sorry to hear about your friends dog. It is hard to lose a furry family member.

That is a great debate if animals go to heaven but in my heart I expect to see them there!

Me To CAH !!!!!!

Hi everyone!!

I know it has been a while since I have posted but this first part of the year has been a little out of the ordinary. First my brother passed away in February and while I was dealing with that I was trying also to finish my Associates Degree (accomplished in March) and then 2 weeks ago we had all those tornados coming through the state. We didn't get a whole lot of damage in my neighborhood but the power was out for 6 days and we still don't have telephone service (but thank You Jesus we still have ourselves). So enough of the bad, I'm ready for some good and coming here is always good!! Hoping everyone has a blessed and beautiful day!

Sorry for your loss.

Good evening,

I had a busy day at work today, had break down the delivery ended up lifting and putting away more than 3,000lbs worth of product when all was said and done, my whole body aches and is exhausted. My Bruins won tonight so on to the Eastern Conference Final for the first time since 1992. I quickly went through todays posts since it is so late, back to work in less than 7 hours.

Have a good night!

 

[made582]

Wow you guys have been busy this evening!!!! I will try to catch up tomorrow. Goodnight Everyone!!!!!!!

 

[ballcoach]

Made, we are dry......for now! Thanks for asking, though. Got the boat in the backyard in case (really).

Animals and heaven? Hmmm....humans are animals, we go to heaven.

I think that heaven is all things beautiful. My dogs are there waiting on me, playing with all the other dogs....

See everyone in the morning!

 

[trackrebel]

good morning u christmas people

to get to the animals have no soul comment.......I think that is totally wrong......how come they can be heard whining, when their human is gone....how come gorillas, bonobos and monkeys like that are grieving when one of their group and especially when their babies die? if they have no soul....how can they be happy to see their human....or their animal friends?.....I totally believe animals have a soul and will one day share their space in heaven with us

That part kind of teared me up in a happy way. Your dogs are happy and playing and waiting on you.

A good -- no -- GREAT weekend morning, Christmas Friends!

Yes, the sun is shining, birds are singing, dogs are barking, children are screaming.....Bing and Carl are conspiring on yet another coffee mystery blend at the 'Pines.....and all is right with the Christmas world.

I know everyone is anxious to start their weekend, so straight to the count sans further delay:
Days to the Season: 190
Days to Christmas Day: 232
One week from tomorrow -- SINGLE DIGITS to the half way mark to the Season!
(The anticipation is starting to build!)

Pleasant here this morning in the capital city where we stand at 61 degrees under somewhat cloudy skies with the chance of rain still in the picture.

Well, I won't keep you.
Head out and enjoy your weekend, not forgetting to have a Sensational Saturday along the way!

 

[ballcoach]

Good morning, friends! Hope this finds all well. Hope to be able to play in my yard, but there is yet another shower heading this way. DARN.

See yall in a bit.
