Christmas Countdown - 2011

[made582]

It will remain in the triple digits all week long.

It is going to be in the mid 90's here today but at least it's not as hot as there.

Good evening,

I am watching Just Friends, a funny little Christmasy flick, icing my heel down, I have been diagnosed with plantar faschiitis my heel is killing me tonight. Bed time is calling me soon.


Good night Christmas friends.

I hope you feel better soon!

Morning all! Feeling really upset, went to pick shaun up on saturday night and some how must have dropped my phone out of the car, It had photos on of my youngest which luckily I had transfered to my laptop but i never got round to transfering the videos:? They were only a few seconds long each but they were 18months worth of them right from when she was born to now. I really hope someone hands it in somewhere but i really doubt it. I have videos of her on our camcorder but its not the same.

I hope you get your phone back!

sorry to hear that claireloveschristmas so frustrating and upsetting to lose something so important.

haven't been on for a couple of weeks gang, been really down since losing my aunt. we have pulled together as a family and we are all finding comfort in the fact that she is now with my precious grandmother (her mother) who we lost in january. they were best friends in life and done everything together, it's so hard for us as a family that we lost them both within 5 months, but it's typical of them to want to be together, eating cakes and drinking tea as they always done on earth! slowly but surely we are starting to look forward as a family and we realise that they'll never leave us.

now.... it's time for me to start my christmas shopping!!!!

((((hugs)))) What a wonderful family you have, Johnor - I will keep all of you in my prayers!

Morning everyone

Good morning, irishsnow - have a wonderful day!

I jumped out of bed after looking at the clock and finding I had slept in for an hour, quickly got dressed and downstairs as I now only had an hour to get going to work.
Got the plants watered, lunch made, cat fed and a few other little things done.
That is when I heard the news caster say "It is now 6:45 am we are taking a quick break" I am thinking what? He got the time wrong, it should be almost 8am! But sure enough, he was right, my clock upstairs was an hour ahead!!!!
Oh well, I at least got everything done quick and can now relax for awhile before heading out for the day!

Have a great day, Christmasstar!

Busy day. Meetings, meetings, meetings. Getting the new water heater installed today. And it is my son's 17th birthday today.

No rest for the weary.

Enjoy your day and a very happy birthday to your son!

It will remain in the triple digits all week long.

I know a lady that said her mother just came to visit from Ohio. It was her first time in Texas during the summer. She said she will NEVER come back here again when it's this hot. Lol!

Keep cool today my MMC friends!

Stay cool, too, C-A-H!

It is going to be in the mid 90's here today but at least it's not as hot as there.

Humid and stormy here - in the 90s today and tomorrow and then in the 70s on Wed. I would never survive in triple digit heat!

 

[Meceka]

Good hot, humid and stormy morning, Christmas family!

Today I started a new schedule - off to quite a good start as I had serious trouble sleeping. Oh, well, that is what I get for lazing around on Sunday cheesy I'm sure I will eventually get used to the new times - in the meantime, lots of iced coffee. Good thing I love coffee!

Talked to my sister this morning, she is having a rough time of late. She had to put her second dog down in less than two weeks. Please keep her in your prayers - I have never heard her sound so despondent as I did today.

I'm looking forward to Wed. Getting together with the girls. It is becoming a weekly event. Nice to have those, again - makes the week go by that much faster. Of course, there is the weekly visit to the Pines - I think my day with the girls prepares me for all the craziness of Carl and Co. cheesy

Have a great day and stay cool!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!!! It is hot and steamy already here in central Indy. I had to run some errands this morning and now I need to spend some time cleaning. My youngest niece is coming in to spend the night tonight. My oldest niece is going in for a upper and lower GI scope tomorrow morning to see if they can find out why she keeps getting sharp pains in her stomach. Today is going to rough on her. She's not allowed to eat anything solid after 9am this morning and she starts the medicine to clean her out at 3pm. Were hoping that they find something but not anything major. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope your son has a very happy birthday and that you will find time to celebrate with him later!

 

[Christmasstar]

My mom does that all the time. She somehow hits the hour button when she turns her alarm on at night and sets her clock an hour ahead.

not sure how mine ended up that way, but I will have to remember to fix it before going to bed tonight!

It is going to be in the mid 90's here today but at least it's not as hot as there.

going to be hot here too for a change, going up to 34c with a humidex of 45!!!

And with this post, Party Girl Meceka is poster #13,800. She is really racking up a lot of valuable prizes. For her efforts this time, she wins a highlighter with a little bit of highlight left!!!

Good morning, Christmas friends. Wow! We are in for a cool spell: just in the low 90s!!! At least the days are ticking by to fall, one of my favorite times of the year. I plan to go to my classroom to see about packing up some things. Maintenance personnel are supposed to be there to help. There is no way I can do any lifting whatsoever; but I can sure be bossy! I hope all of y'all have a great day.

 

[Seawaters]

I just got to thinking (SCARY!). The more we progress to fall and the Season, the closer GA BullDawg will be home! I wonder how is girlfriend and baby are?

 

[Christmasstar]

I am sitting here at a wonderful place called "Aim 2 walk" a rehabilitation center that helps folks learn to walk again. Lindsay comes here three times a week.
Here a link to their website so you can see the cool machine Lindsay uses at each visit. http://aim2walk.ca/
She was brain injured in a car accident just before she was to graduate from high school. She was not expected to survive, but 9 years later, here she is learning to walk again!
I am so blessed to be a part of all this! cheesy

 

[Undrtakr]

Well. Its Monday again! How time flies! We went to the Sun Festival on the weekend...well...sort of. My Wife, her two friends William and I went. After 30 minutes William started having a fit! He didn't want to be in the stroller, didn't want to walk, didn't want to be carried and didn't want to go anywhere. He then started screaming. Oh how embarrassing! I know all parents go through it but MAN. lol. Then he started screaming stop it, over and over again. We left right away. What a naughty boy he was! We bought him a regular bed. He WONT sleep in a toddler bed. He will sleep fine in our bed so we bought him one that's low to the ground. He can get in and out of it easily. We will try him in it tonight. He seems to love it. I cut the lawn this morning and almost melted to the sidewalk! Warm warm warm today. Chance of storms. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised to see one. Well back to work I go. Hope everyone has a great day! keep cool!!!!

Hi Johnor,

I know how hard it is for you. You are right, at least the way I believe. Your aunt is with her mom and I am sure the angels are having a wonderful time hosting them and no they will NEVER leave you even though it feels like they have.

You have the right attitude, even though it may hurt, there is nothing like Christmas to heal one's soul.

(((((HUGS))))) to you and all your family.

Oh Meceka. I am so sorry about your sister's furbaby. It is so devastating to lose one and to have to make that decision is a triple whammy. I also know about not being able to sleep. I feel as though I have been in a 5-1/2 coma. Hope you get some rest xo and

(((((HUGS))))))) to your sister.

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!!! It is hot and steamy already here in central Indy. I had to run some errands this morning and now I need to spend some time cleaning. My youngest niece is coming in to spend the night tonight. My oldest niece is going in for a upper and lower GI scope tomorrow morning to see if they can find out why she keeps getting sharp pains in her stomach. Today is going to rough on her. She's not allowed to eat anything solid after 9am this morning and she starts the medicine to clean her out at 3pm. Were hoping that they find something but not anything major.

How worrisome Made....Awww, I will say special prayers for your little niece xo

Now, Seawaters....Tisk, Tisk, Tisk...we all know you cannot be anything but kind and wonderful xo

 

[ClaireLovesChristmas]

have you tired calling the phone? I sure hope it lands in the hands of someone honest!

I did and it went straight to voicemail, But i know the battery was running low. Ive tried calling the police station a couple of times but they havent known if anything has been handed in???? Think Im going to go up tomorrow and ask them face to face.

Note to everyone, PLEASE back up any pictures or videos you have on your phones, I never imagined I would loose mine but I have and I would hate for anyone else to do the same thing x

 

[Bradmac]

Good Monday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

Not much to report today, just working, working, working. That's no too bad, though. Idle hands are the devil's workshop, you know. With all the stuff I have to work on, I should be positively Angelic by now! :lol:

I think I'll work on the deck this afternoon. That thing has turned into my summer project from heck! I suppose I'll be proud of it after it's finished, but right now all I can think about is gettng FINISHED. It'll get there.

I hope ya'll have a great day! cheesy

 

[MsChristmas]

the competition cake I am not allowed to post pictures of until after the competition is done tomorrow...so tomorrow evening when I get back I will show it to you.

I wish you lived near us..your cakes our beautiful! I would be ordering cakes all of the time from you =0)

Evening all! Just got home from our friends' house... they have 3 boys, we have 2. We usually all get together on Saturday afternoons/evenings for a potluck dinner. Love it!

Tonight we had really GOOD margaritas, yahoo!

Congrats on the good work with Jude =0) and that dinner sounds like so much fun!

Good afternoon everyone. Hope you all had a nice weekend. My Hubby picked up my dresser today and will be putting it together tonight! I will be up late trying to clean up my room Im sure!

We hosted a pizza party for my Son's tee ball team on Saturday and then went to the carnival, it was an expensive day... had a nice time but this carnival was the most EXPENSIVE one I have ever been to because its in a expensive part of town.. so I guess they decided to hike the prices up. $8 for a lemonade... $3.50 for each child ride... $80 later I said we have got to leave..this is more expensive then Disney World! I will not be going back there.. there is another carnival the end of this month in a different part of town that we normally go to each year and there the rides are only $1 a piece and the food is 1/2 the price and a lot better! Looking forward to that!

Taking the Boys to the Beach for the day on Wednesday. Have a nice evening..stay cool..its a hot one here..about 95 and suppose to be closer to 100 tomorrow! UGH Im so ready for the FALL!
