Good evening,

I have had it at my job, I am so frustrated with what is going on, I need to find something new. I won't go into it to deep here, but I am so done with the politics of the place. Day off tomorrow, well timed I guess, but I have 101 errands to do, including picking up some Christmas presents for my sweet boys. Watching DWTS it's 80's night, makes me remember how much I hated the 80's, especially the music, even though I grew up in that decade. I have always been an odd duck with my taste of music.

Have a good night!

I hope things improve work-wise, xmas!

good morning everyone!!! I hope You guys are doing good.....didnt sleep last night, because I caught a cold and have a sore throat....I started to drink tea that helps against bronchitis and cauhgin, used nose spray and my inhaler.....so far overnight it hasnt become worse, so I think I will be alright....I cant be away from work again....so I will try to work it out like this...and maybe go to the doctor so he can advise some meds to take

I hope you are better, track!

Good morning, Christmas family!

I'm all caught up on the Countdown and have to start getting ready for work. I hope you all have a very MERRY Tuesday!

Good Morning everyone! I heard good news this morning, it's going to get a lot colder and it's going to start feeling a little more like Christmas. I'm already getting all geared up! :dance:

at work on the opera.. all about falling leaves.....

Camels? Will there be camels??
(( Sorry. Carl insisted I post that. ))

A 2nd Weekday Good Morning to Each and All.

We had a nice visit to the State Fair yesterday.
The weather was perfect, the crowds were not too heavy and the food was good.
Can't beat that combination! (Still no Fired Twinkies, though. Had to settle for the standard fried.)
We feel a little smug today since the weather is now precicted to deteriorate. We went there on the best day!

Counting onward and downward:
Days to the Season: 26
Days to Christmas Day: 68
We draw ever nearer by the day, Friends!

A nice 62 degrees here in Raleigh this morning for our walk.
No rain chance until some time this afternoon.
Then we start to turn cooler.

You have a Terrific Tuesday, Folks.
Get youself ready for another rousing visit to the 'Pines tomorrow!

Merry Tuesday, everyone!

Put plenty of honey and lemon in that tea, and it will help. A lemon-ginger tea with honey is great when the cold is in your throat and chest. And plenty of water and other fluids. Take care---I'll be thinking anti-cold thoughts.

I've heard of using tea as a dye, but really ... Friends, does your brew taste different lately?

cheesycheesygood morning Christmas family! i think my tuesday is gonna be a good one. boss called last night & said i have today off as we are slow @ work & everyone taking an extra day here & there.
hubby came in last evening & the trip he had scheduled to cincinatti(for work) has been cancelled for this week & the trip to st. louis next week has been postponed. yay! i do not like it when he has to travel away from home!
daughter got good report yesterday. yeap, i'm in a great mood today.
i have decided to make this a "me" day. not sure what that entails yet but i'm gonna do it. maybe go back to bed for a while after i take daughter to school, take a long hot bath, read a little, i don't know but i'm gonna do my darndest to enjoy. with the christmas season fast approaching there won't be many days left to do these things.
ya'll have a great tuesday!!!!!

Enjoy your "me" day! There's nothing like an entire day without demands to do what YOU want. I try to schedule a couple during the year, but it seems like something always comes up that has to be done.

Good Morning MMC!

well, I give up! I post in the morning and by evening there were 111 posts! So if I miss a few answers here and there forgive me, I just do not have the time right now. (even though I sure wish I did)
This is so totally awesome!!!! All these posts mean that Christmas is closer and excitement is building...I love it!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!! It's going to be a cool rainy one here in central Indy. It looks like we are going to hover right around 50 degrees for the rest of the week. I don't know what I'm going to do today. I was hoping to get some work done on my truck but it looks like the rain is going to stick around most of the day. So I'm think I'm just going to pop in a christmas movie and kick back and relax for awhile. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Tuesday. Hey. Its NOT MONDAY!
My friend found the first radio station (OTHER THEN MMCR) that is playing 100% Christmas music now until Christmas. I was listening to a bit of it last night. Reminds me of MMCR. Not to worry. I still have MMCR bookmarked and love it! Nothing new really. Work is work lol. Going to take my costume (Ash from Evil Dead) out and de-wrinkle it. Wearing it at the end of the month for my Halloween party and wearing it to work on Halloween since we can. Always fun to do that. Makes me feel like a little kid again! Well better get back to work! Have a great day all!

Good morning, everyone!

A little busy, but not too busy to post. Just a a quick visit, however. Those 26 Days to the Christmas Season are looking mighty fine. Can you believe it?! No visit to the mall tonight, however. Kim and I are booked until the weekend. I have my sights and heart set on Friday for some October Christmas decor photography. I am sure there will be much more this time than about two weeks ago - when it appeared that stores were just beginning their festivities.

The weather is chilly. In fact, today was the first day that I could feel my hands getting a little cold while walking to the bus stop. Just another sign, friends! The sun is somewhat out today and the wind has stopped. I do believe this is the first day since Thursday that we haven't had 25+ mph winds. Ottawa is usually a calm city, too.

I'd love to reply to most of your posts, but I have a few things to do. Hopefully I will come back soon and do so. Can't wait for tomorrow. Another visit to the 'Pines. It always makes the week go by faster!

Have a great Tuesday, everyone!

hi everyone
omg we have snow
I live at the bottom of a mountain and its snowing up here my brother was up and he sent this

That snow looks so beautiful! Great picture!

Hi every one! I am glad to announce that we are done building for now! now getting to enjoy being home in our new home! hope you enjoy looking forward to christmas!

Congrats on the new home and being done building! Just in time for the holidays! Best wishes for a great first Christmas in the new home!

This hasn't got anything to do with anything but I saw it and thought of you (you as in plural!)

Inner Peace
If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat plain food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then you are probably the family dog!

LOL that is so true!

I have had a busy weekend, my hair is now dark brown and I have a brand new car!

Congrats on the new car!

good morning everyone!!! I hope You guys are doing good.....didnt sleep last night, because I caught a cold and have a sore throat....I started to drink tea that helps against bronchitis and cauhgin, used nose spray and my inhaler.....so far overnight it hasnt become worse, so I think I will be alright

Hope you feel better soon and can get some sleep.

Still Catching up... I feel asleep while trying to post HA, HA, HA!!!

It has been a bad day here. 1st I got word that our friends Dad passed away. My hubby was at their house helping put on roof. He has been sick & this was not a surprise, but still sad. Less than an hour later I got a call saying that our friends 3 year old daughter was killed in a car accident. The parents (our friends) were out of town with her family celebrating her parents 50th wedding anniversary & the kids were with their cousin. Well of all people - an illegal immigrant whose drivers license has been revoked - pulled out infront of them, sending their 2 boys to Childrens hospital (but they are going to be ok) & killing their little sister. My heart is heavy tonight! We really do need to count our blessing every day & ENJOY every minute with our loved ones!

Speaking of - tomorrow my hubby's family is coming over to celebrate my inlaws 40th wedding anniversary. I'm really looking forward to it! I've been busy cleaning & cooking/making snacks. Now it's about time to call it a night! I'm tired!

I hope you are all having a great weekend!

I am so sorry to read such sad news my heart and prayers are with you and both your friends... Too true, you never know.

Now for your in-laws!!! Wow, awesome for them, I hope everyone enjoyed the celebration.

Back from church...and I did not forget what I had to say when I got up in front for everyone to make the announcement about operation Christmas Child!

YAY I am so happy for you, I know that can be hard on some people you must have been wonderful to see & hear!!!!

Just getting back from church and we went out for pizza and salad,I have not had pizza in a long time,I had to splurge! I have gotten in a bad habit of eating chiplotle mayo on everything! It was great on pizza! anyone else like chiplotle sause? The rest of the day I am going to relax and watch tv maybe some horror movies! Have a great sunday everyone!

Love chipotle sauce, I make it with with pork chops comes out really good.

I will probably end up watching my annual screening of The Night of The Living Dead (original in B and W) this Halloween season at some point and then be scared for the next several days !!! xo

OMG!!! We do the same thing too... That movie is SO eerie and oh, very scary.

Oh CM3 I LOVE LOVE LOVE! Night of the living dead!(1969) I love all horror movies but that one just gets me everytime! I actually do get creeped out by that movie...especially the ending gives me chills everytime! I actaully worry about stuff like that happening in real life.lol!

That is the perfect word CREEPED out!!!! As for thinking about it happening let's just say it takes we until almost US Thanksgiving to stop using the night lights in the hall/kitchen/living room/and bathrooms!!! HA, HA, HA!!!

Good Afternoon Christmas family !!

Lauriebear - I don't think I have ever commented on your Snickers, I hope that Snickers is well !! xo

Thank you CM3, she is well... Right now I bet she is on my bed with the kitties passed out cold all of them having perfect little doggie & kitty dreams!!!

How are yours??? Is Wishie feeling better???

Good morning, Christmas friends. I have LOTS of catching up to do and prizes to award!!! I have had so many appointments getting ready for my surgery on Thursday (Oct. 20), plus re-doing lesson plans, plus our anniversary (Oct. 17). And, my computer has slowed down to a crawl. It takes forever to go from one page to another. I will try to catch up ASAP. I just cannot skip any of the messages, so it may take me a while. In addition, I have had SEVERAL SSTs (Student Study Team meetings). I told our school nurse that I suspected one of my kidlets had a hearing problem, and sure enough, she found that to be true; so we have to meet again after she has seen a doctor. I love it when I am right!!! Gotta go. I have another SST in 20 minutes (yes, at 7:45 a.m.). I also had the nurse check her hearing, too. Have a great day, everyone, and I will get caught up soon.

Good Morning everyone! Hope everyone is doing well!
This thread is moving so fast! I can hardly keep up lol
I am looking for an app for my phone to allow me to maybe keep up with it better while I am out and about, but i have a windows phone 7 (I just had to be different and get something different than an iPhone or android phone lol cheesy) I found one called board express that is supposed to work on most vBulletin boards
http://www.board-express.com/
the free version don't allow you to reply, but the pro version (costs $2.99) allows you to reply to threads, will get it if I know it will work.

Only Tuesday and I'm ready for the weekend again, not much else exciting going on for me which I am kind of happy about. cheesy

God bless and hope everyone has a great day!
