Christmas Countdown - 2011

[vsuclaribnl]

I am sure You friend-boss will understand...of course if she calls.

I guess Sangria is an animal....and not the alcohol...is it a cat or a dog?

I hope so...I have a feeling she won't call but she and I don't work together the rest of the week and this is something we're supposed to be partnering on. So...I'm a bit nervous about this all. I know it won't affect our friendship but I still don't want a nervewracking work relationship...

And Sangria is my kitty. Well, I guess she's a cat now as she's over 3 and a half years old!!

Good afternoon! I had to read twice too when I saw vsuclaribnl having trouble typing b/c of sangria! LOVE IT!!!

LOL!!! People do that more often than you know! I hadn't realized I'd worded it so eloquently! lol

I know what you mean.........You CAN'T be six places at once at work !! You did the right thing. I am really excited about the ornaments from Hallmark this year.....but then I am EVERY YEAR !!! I collect the Snowball and Tuxedo ornaments !!

I hope so...the only thing is, this project is the schedule, which is supposed to be good and ready to go by tomorrow. I didn't get to work on it at all today, my shift tomorrow is all non-admin stuff, and then BOOM, there's Friday and there's no schedule. So...it could end badly, but I'm hoping not. Sigh.

Oh dear. I don't know what I would have done! So does she just have the three of you? How many boys/girls?

I'm "one & done"!

Awww....I didn't know you are part of triplets !!!! I bet you and your siblings are really close !!![/B]

1 boy(me) and 2 girls and no more after that. They told her that she would have a high chance of having twins if she got pregnant again so she said 3 was enough.

I am really close to my sisters. We talk multiple times a day. I haven't seen my sister in Seattle in 4 years but we talk on the phone 3 or 4 times a day usually.

Yep!!! I am actually the baby of the family by 2 minutes.

Awesome! Triple Made! cheesy

I did it, I did it!!!!!!!!

Paula Deen is in the christmas spirit. She uploaded some pictures to her facebook page this morning of her filming the christmas special for her show. It looks like it will be a fun one to watch. Her son Bobby and her brother Bubba are in elf costumes and her husband Michael is in a elvis outfit.

Fill me in - sorry for my ignorance but who is Paula Dean?

I am very excited (except for the stupid headache I have) because my sister is coming down on Saturday and we are going to have a Sister day !!! Then In July there is the last installment of Harry Potter and the Hallmark Ornaments !!!(that is if the rapture doesnt happen like it is supposed to this Saturday..according to that one church !!)

I cant wait for Harry Potter! Am so excited. Just watching Half Blood Prince right now!

Her father, James Dean, was a famous actor. Her son, named after her father, Jimmy, makes world famous sausage.

Wow, they film already!??! I am going to check that out!! How fun!

You always get all the good info first!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Did you know that Paula Deen use to suffer from agoraphobia? She was terrified to leave her home for quite some time. Look at her now, very outgoing and full of life!

 

[happyelf]

So she's kinda like an equivalent to our Delia Smith?

Have you guys watched Nigella Lawson? Her Christmas series was really good some lovely recipes. I sat copying a few of the out into my Xmas journal yesterday.

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

You know, I can't eat much of anything Paula Deen makes (dumb food allergies!) but I will watch everyone of her Christmas shows and even some throughout the year. I enjoy it!

I looked up Delia Smith and Nigella Lawson. I see they are British cooks, might be why I haven't heard of them and you haven't heard of Paula Deen.

If Delia is real popular there, then yes, probably Paula is equivalent to her.

lol!

And Jimmy, when he wasn't grinding meat, had a successful Country music career and managed to record a Christmas Album that is now out of print. Here is a review. I think the vinyl rip share link there still works too! If not, you missed it! Maybe a cut from it will be on the next 'Mistletoe Mix' on Merry Christmas Radio!

(Of course regular readers of the Christmas Audio Archive thread added this to your music collection around two years ago!)

You mean it cost to have goodies there? Carl has been giving me stuff for free. I think you better have a chat with him. :lol:

Remember, only the FIRST fired twinkie and glass of tea is free. But for today, after that first freebie, everything else is half off.

I will pay double tonight to make up for it and tip well. cheesy

Good morning, Christmas Family !

I just finished my midnight shift about 45 minutes ago..but I can't sleep. I am too worried about my Wishbone. He has been doing fine ever since he got over that episode of whatever it was......but I keep thinking what if he should have another episode and I am not in the room to help him?? It is just me and my furkids home right now......Maybe I should go and lay on the couch in the living room....That way, I would be where he is......

I hope all have a great day !! And Thank you for your prayers. I guess I should have just posted my prayer request in the Countdown instead of making a new thread.........I just didn't want to bring anyone down........

Have a good day, Christmas Family xoxox

You go right ahead and post wherever your heart desires. I'm so sorry about Wishbone and that you are so worried. I know how you feel. Our furchildren really are our babies.

I hope you were able to get some sleep today!

Xoxoxo

Good morning,


Just cleaned up the house after dropping the kids off at school and daycare, I have a bad headache and I really don't feel like working, but I need to help bringing home the bacon. Not much more going on on my end.

Have a good day!

Oh...those nasty headaches! Its difficult to do anything when ya got one. I hope it went away!

Be well, xmas!

Good morning, Christmas friends. It was so cold and rainy yesterday that I had to wear my coat every time I walked down to the school office. I had to suspend two students (yes, again) and three went to the principal's office before school was out. My son got in last night and what a great visit. I totally love his girlfriend! I am such a lucky mom. I have lots to say but we are heading out of town. I missed one of the prizes, but I will make up for it when we get back from Fresno. Take care everyone and live the Christmas spirit. I will try to get on the site at the hotel every chance I get. My son looked at Melissa last night when I was listing things I bought for them for their trip and said, "See why I love my parents so much." The subject just came up a few minutes ago about baby pics, so I had to get out Joshua's albums. That's a mother's job, right? Have a great rest of the week. I will post when I can.

Have a great and happy trip!
