Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Maureen]

Guess what, Christmas peeps???? I'VE GOT A LIVING ROOM!!!! I'm so excited!!!! Tomorrow in true Dickensian fashion, I'm going to send Bruce up the chimney. Okay, slight poetic licence; I don't have a chimney and he'll be heading into the attic to bring down Christmas. Christmas starts tomorrow in my house. Up until now, it's been expressed in my wreath on the front door and half eaten chocolate advent calendar. I did have an amazing brainwave and ordered all my groceries online. The food arrives between 5pm - 7pm tomorrow night and all I have to do is stick it in the fridge and cupboard. Pick up the turkey on Friday and, according to the plan in my head, Saturday will be spent with a glass in one hand and book in the other in the light of my newly decorated Christmas tree, in my newly done living room.

One room down, four to go.................AFTER Christmas. If I'm going to be depressed, may as well have a good reason, eh?!!!!!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to check in real quick. Sorry I didn't reply back to posts today. I am start my vacation in the morning until Christmas night (so excited!), so I will do that in the morning sometime.

I have to go to the chiropractor in the morning after work and I plan on making some more Christmas cookies tomorrow too.

Well, I've gotta go lay down and get a quick nap in. Gotta work at 11. Hope you're all having a great evening.

PS - the Pines was rocking earlier! :smile:

Great to be heading to the 'Pines today. One last time before Christmas! !

Thanks, Made !! I'll be there Friday !!

Could this be Carl's family ?????

Carl's new sugar cookie bar is awesome!!!!

I have 5 words for you. Camel Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!!!!!

Well Carl has started stocking the buffet line for dinner and you won't believe what he just brought out. A huge basket of dinner rolls shaped like.....Camels. All of this attention may be getting to him.

Attention!!!!!! Me, Ballcoach, and Binger will be performing a rousing rendition of "We Three Kings" over on the karaoke stage in 10 minutes. You don't want to miss this!!!!

A wild night for sure at the pines!
Lots of fun on this last party before Christmas.

howdy Christmas Family,
I want to say a huge THANK YOU for all the prayers,Calls and well wishes for my family and for my Daughter Kayla. She is doing better and resting at home they let her come home yesterday afternoon and she is on 5 different types of Meds. 3 of them are antibiotics, one is her normal shots she gets and the other is a cough syrup that makes her loopy but takes away the cough. all in all she and all of us are happy she is home!!! and thanks to RadioJonD for letting all our friends know. Mr. Jon, your just one of a kind. hugs all and I'll see y'all in the morning! :merry:

Sneaking in toward the end of the workday ... I really need a breather. I've been super-cranking today to try to get ahead so I'm not slammed on Friday.

Kind of a discouraging day. I brought my gift bags for the two co-workers I work with most, as I do annually. One recipient didn't even mention receiving it (yes, I know she got it, I put it on her chair); she went home early and left the bag on her desk. (After raving to everyone about a another gift she received from someone else.) The other recipient didn't mention receiving her bag until I thanked the her for the gift bag she gave me. I guess this sounds like a petty complaint---like I'm keeping score. Yes, I'm in busy mode, but it wouldn't kill my schedule if someone walked up to say "Thanks for thinking of me"---or, if they didn't want to interrupt, send an e-mail. On top of some other petty things that are nibbling at me, it put me in an unhappy mood today. I'm going to try to get home a little earlier today and get a little more rest.

(Apologies to all for the recent string of gloomy posts. I'll try to improve that.)

(((Merry))) ......No need to apologize ......I am so sorry people are sometimes so thoughtless. We all love you and we all appreciate you xo

I hope everyone enjoyed our performance!!! We have been rehearsing for months.

I LOVED your performance !!!!!

Wow!! CAH, CM3, and Seawaters just did a great redition of "Christmas Wrapping". It has been one heck of a party tonight.

Betcha Didn't Know I could Wrap !!!!

I really need to head home from the Pines but I am just having to much fun. Does anyone want to babysit for me tomorrow?

 

[Seawaters]

I TOTALLY LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Xmas!!!

Good morning,

The Pines was hopping this morning, I brought the boys there and WOW! I got a couple of pictures of them with the lampshade on their heads, the festivities are hopping now. 4 days to go! I cleaned up the red room where the cats ransacked the tree, it took me hours to do everything, replace lights, fix tree, move furniture around, I passed out on the couch until my wife and kids got home yesterday, we then went to Friendly's for dinner. I had a heck of a time trying to get on here this morning. I must get ready for work, I got to go deal with my problem head on now. Have a great day!

All men close your ears: Mucus plug!!!

Yeah that is what they are called!! We are asking how will we know then when the real contractions come!!?? I mean if her water breaks I guess we will know,but if that does not bappen we don't want to give birth at home or in the car!!!

 

[Seawaters]

Gotta think about that one. My before pics look like mug shots!!! They told me not to smile. The doc will take better pics, probably in January 2012 when I see him next.

Seawaters- I bet you look amazing !!! Are you going to post pics ?? ((Hugs)) to you also and to everyone ! xo

 

[Seawaters]

I am sitting here laughing because of you and RJD!!!

QUOTE=made582;408316]Well that explains the urge to put a lampshade on my head.[/QUOTE]

 

[Seawaters]

Now you are as bad as Made, RJD, Binger, and Coach!!!

The larger the hump, the larger the cookie!!
