Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Meceka]

Lauriebear - Your project with The Christmas Angel sounds incredible !! What an amaing book !! Thank goodness our WONDERFUL Merry told me about it or I might never have had the pleasure of reading it.

I am just biding my time until I call the vet to see how the EKG went for Wishie. He is still there and I miss him.....Poor little guy still needs his dinner !!

I agree - I just read it a while ago - what a wonderful story! I'd love to be in the audience for Lauriebear's project, too - that would be such a wonderful thing to see!

I pray you hear good news regarding Wish!

Good Morning, friends!!
It's going to be another hot one today in Vegas. Hope it cools down soon. Looking forward to some fall temperatures!
I just got my Bronner's catalog yesterday, excited to check it out~
Football tonight! Go Pack, Go!!!
Hope everyone is having a nice week so far. Almost Friday!

We are going to Bronners next month!!
Love going there

Right until you told me I didn't even know about it. It is such a wonderful tale too. So much to gain in it. So last night we set up the props & costume groups, I am in the props group, I am super happy about that as I cannot sew worth a dime for sure! We have my Pastor (his name is John, in case I refer him by name & his wife's name is Donna, also his two older children help out Johnny & Nancy) They are going to look over the book and help reduce it - you know we have kids from the ages of 5 to 16 in this and we wanted to have in in the time frame of 2 hours. So, they will review and see where we can slim it a little. I have to say this has really made a stir, a lot of people are wanting to get envolved and I think this is what our Pastor wanted. One lady said it was nice to see we wanted to get all the kids into the play not just the same routine. We had a few grousers too but Pastor knows how to clam the waters. I will keep you updated and the next time we met we will review the plan as to the schedule, and what the show dates will be! We meet next week.

I have been involved in many such plays over the years. It is so much fun...most of the time! I was in charge of costumes one year and the director decided at the last minute that 2 dozen of the kids outfits needed to be changed!
But the business and excitement is such a nice way to get into the Christmas spirit.

I think we should petition LB to get together a video crew to record the performance! (Not really---I wouldn't want to add to her to-do list while getting the play organized. But a video would be wonderful.)

I forgot to tell you all, I had a duh moment, all this talk of the Pines and such, funny but we have a place on Long Island called the Pine Barrens I live 20 minutes from the area, too funny right all this time and I never mentioned it - but this morning watching the weather they were like there might be frost in the Pines this morning, I started laughing so hard I cried my husband looked at me like I had 3 heads, I said never mind honey, never mind... So, hopefully there wasn't a frost in Carl's Pines!!! Hope you all have a great morning, "see" you all later

Anyone dealing with this crazy rain??? I woke up at 3 to a slight leak in our bedroom (we have to get our roof repaired anyway so it's not a big surprise) but no biggie... there is some major flooding in our area, though. Before we bought this house, we put offers in on a few other places in towns nearby but didn't get the places. We were so bummed but now I know it is for the best - all of those towns are MAJORLY underwater right now, some homes to the first floor!!! Ay yi yi.

If you're dealing with this rain - stay safe!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!! It is a rainy dreary morning here in central Indy. It's still nice and cool though so I won't complain. My cold is better this morning. I basically just have the annoying cough left. I have my normal cleaning to do today and then I may take a nap. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

it has been raining here the last few days, but not nearly as hard as where you all are! Keep safe.

 

[Christmasstar]

Good Morning.

Careful now, Christmasstar. You're playing to Carl's inherent narcissism.
(Now, he will be demanding a starring role in Bing's next opera - wearing the hat, of course!)

but he is so cute and fun to be with! :!!

Hello Again, Christmas Family

Just talked to the vet about Wish. His EKG did indeed show a subtle abnormality. He is having QRS complexes that sometimes tend to "clump" together and the doc now thinks that is what is causing his "episodes" so brain tumor is not in the differential any longer which is good !

We all have these QRS complex thingies I guess but whey they occur in a single run altogether I guess they cause problems. Wish is now going to be on two heart meds - Benazepril and Diltiazem.

The doc also says the prgnosis could be 1 to 2 years or as little as six months. I am crossing my fingers. But even eternity with our loved ones is not enough.

Thanks Christmas family - Love you all !!

Gotta drink some Goober Juice now that Carl gave me !! xo

 

[Meceka]

CM3: I pray the meds work and your time with Wish is far longer than the vet says is possible! ((((HUGS))))

I hope the medicine helps CM3. I'll keep him in my prayers.

Hi Guys
Just dipping my toe in - I have been so tied up with work/study etc that I haven't had a moments peace!
The children have returned to school so to echo Crown's countdown the season really is just around the corner.
I am nipping over to the U S of A in a few weeks to visit a few schools in Atlanta and possibilt Florida if I get the time so I will definitely feel 'closer' to my christmas family :!! and hopefully Walmart might have some goodies in for me to take home.
I'll catch up with all the goings on's over the next few days.
Take care friends,
Naomi

[Seawaters]

Absolutely!!!

Well, if your including all of us, then I see nothing fishy with the luck of the draw :lol: will your soup be available????

 

[Seawaters]

We like Aaron Rodgers too. He is from Chico, just a bit down the road!

My husband was just saying the same thing about his Bears. Game days are kind of amusing in our house...
Ironically, he'll be rooting for Rodgers tonight because he has him on his fantasy team! Maybe I won't get harassed as much tonight, lol.

 

[Seawaters]

These are all wonderful suggestions/requests. The answer is a resounding, "YES!!!" I think I will ask Santa to be the pilot and Xmas can be the co-pilot so he will understand that I am willing to share the wealth!! Soup is on, plus any hors d'oeuvres that the great cooks on the forum wish to share. We will stop at all places in between. Just let me know where and when! And yes, CM3 we can even go see the polar bears and even the North Pole!!!

Well, if your including all of us, then I see nothing fishy with the luck of the draw :lol: will your soup be available????

I'll be waiting at Indianapolis regional airport saturday morning for my ride to Bernies. cheesy

Have your plane stop by DFW airport to pick us up. We can all go there together! =)

Woo Hoo!!! Maybe we can ask Santa the best flying course Seawaters should take, I mean we all live all over, he would be an expert at getting her to each airport so we can all chow down & party MMC style!!! HA, HA, HA... Too cute!!!!:lol:

Oh, I am way wired today my 2nd cup of Starbucks Pupmkin Spice (PSSST - the frist one was a Venti and this is the Grande!!!!)

Say good ol pal Seawaters - Think we could jet to where the polar bears live ?? xo

 

[Seawaters]

Now, this "we," is that all of us and are we taking the Lear jet?

We are going to Bronners next month!!
Love going there

 

[Seawaters]

I second that. Maybe we could all fly out there!!

I think we should petition LB to get together a video crew to record the performance! (Not really---I wouldn't want to add to her to-do list while getting the play organized. But a video would be wonderful.)
