Good morning, Christmas friends. I will be around with the Lear for all those who want to go to Bernie's for breakfast. Then I have to head back to California. Hubby and I are heading to Red Bluff for an Elks weekend. We will be back on Sunday in time for the football game. Take care, all of you!!!
I wouldn't mind a lift back to visit San Francisco again! My dad was stationed at Presidio for a few years when I was a kid. I have been back there in 30 years!
 
It has really changed. We go by the Presidio every time we go to San Francisco. Of course we will give you a ride!!!

Pick me up, pick me up! :???: :???:

Hope you guys have a wonderful time!
 
I hope you're all having a great morning!

I am going through the kids clothes now. It's sad to see them grow so much, but it's the facts of life!

DH has EA out playing in the snow now. Looks like they're having a blast! :dance:
 
Good morning,


It's a beautiful snowy day here, I want to put up some Christmas lights now! We are homebound with 2 hyper children, I will be watching a my beloved Bruins take on the NY Rangers at one o'clock, folding laundry while watching. You get in you late 30's with an injured foot, life just gets too exciting. cheesy

Have a great Saturday! TTYL

CM3-I hope you can adjust to the schedule, I know it is tough.
Shellie-I am sorry to hear about your neighbors daughter, and I hope your neighbor gets well.
Thank you all for making this the most wonderful place on the internet to visit.
 
Good afternoon, MMC!

We have 10-12 inches of snow!! There is a foot total in the driveway and the backyard, but about 10 inches in the front yard. Crazy!

Looking out the window at the sparkly white stuff really makes me miss Christmas, but it also puts me in the spirit! :tree:
 
Good afternoon everyone! I just checked our 15 day weather forecast and on Feb4th which is the last days of the forecast there is a huge snowstorm all the way from the mid atlantic states to middle Georgia which is still about 100 miles north of here but still it's not completly out of the realm of me driving 2 hours to seee it. So far this winter that is the closest it has been at all. Time will tell 15 day forecasts are notoriously wrong,but we shall see. We are having a lazy day with every one sitting around watching movies and eating homemade chicken pot pie and chicken soup, (Knocking on wood) but so many people are sick around here,almost half of people at work called in sick. I had the flu shot anyway and this was the first year I was even under the weather with a cold the week of thanksgiving I will never forgot that misarable week. But anyhow today is the last day my mom and sister will be here,so I will be taking them to the airport first thing in the morning. I will be back here tomorrow after I get back taking them. I hope everyone here is having a great weekend,and if any of you are sick,take care of yourselves and get better!!!

That's awesome! Wouldn't that be the coolest thing if you guys could get some snow?!
 
Just got through the kids clothes. That was a job. I am glad it is done again until the end of this coming summer.

Hope everyone is having a good day! I am going to relax and look the rest of the boards and possibly take a nap, before heading out in this white stuff!
 
who do you beleive ????????? could your sis not get another optition
Is her knee,s sore when she is not walking? is there any pain when you press in on then when sitting?
I your if your feet is not stright in front yes if can cause stress on the joints but even if it is and there is inflamation it still needs treated no matter the reason


Well I'm 2300 miles away but from talking to my niece on the phone and skype I know she's in constant pain. So I would believe that she is still inflamed. They got a second opinion before christmas and the doctor agreed with the treatment they were stating my niece on but now her doctor doesn't want to continue on that route and he is the only doctor in state that sees kids that young. My sister would have to drive 6 hours to go to the other doctor. Another part of the problem is that her current doctor doesn't talk to her physical therapist since she is not at the childrens hospital. My sister doesn't want to take her to the therpist there though because it's an hour an a half away. So my niece would have to miss one day of school a week to go there where her current therapist is 3 minutes from her house and gets her in after school. She was even recommened to my sister byt the therapist at the childrens hospital because she use to work there. They are going to take her down to the childrens hospital for a consulation with there therapist though in a couple of weeks. Her feet do point inwards and she has inserts for that in her shoes already. Part of that is because my niece is double jointed so normal for her is different than the rest of us. I think the whole problem is that her doctor only sees her once every couple of months so it's just hard for him to tell when she's swollen compared to someone who see's her every week. He kept saying she wasn't swollen back in novemeber until they did a MRI and discovered her knees were extremely inflamed.

The weatherman was talking about it on the news this morning and said it could be a massive storm. Of course I've been saying all winter that mother nature was just saving up for one big punch that weekend. She wants to see if we can handle the snow and the Super bowl better than Dallas did last year.
 
Happy Birthday to that beautiful boy!!!


Hang in there with the kiddos! They live and learn. Big plus that they are doing productive positive things even if some of it is not going smoothly with tuition etc. I bet all will be fine with them.

I hope you and your hubby can get out of the rut. I think you two should go on a date! Wayne and I make sure every Saturday we do something together even if it's staying home playing a game or watching a movie. Maybe you can find something fun!

Wowzeringos?! That's the new word for the day. I like it!!!!
thanks cah, maybe hubby & i will find time soon.

.
MsChristmas, praying for your upcoming surgery!

Seawaters, still praying for you too!

Good morning to all!

I have today off work! Yippie! Movie day for me. I havent had a day to myself in a long time. How is everyone doing? Anyone getting ready for this Christmas yet? We had a bad storm hit with blowing snow and white-out conditions yesterday. 32 car accident on the 402. CRAZY. It seems like when we get snow everyone but me forgets how to drive. Well, back to my movies. Wanted to pop on in and see if everyone is being good LOL. Ill be reading posts today too!
enjoy your day off!

you are indeed a busy person!
Make a date night for you and your hubby and relax...maybe a hotel for the night?
wow, sounds good to me!

Good morning from this picture perfect New England winter town,


It feels like winter, it looks like winter, by gosh it is winter! Finally got a nice covering of snow last night, only to be added on top of tomorrow. Too bad it wasn't here for Santa's visit, nothing worse than being woken up in the middle of the night by a sleigh on the roof ripping shingles off. Not much planned for me today, another week of sitting around with my foot up. I am making some sausage and peppers for a pot luck dinner tonight, smells so good cooking in the crockpot.

I may try to get out of the house for a little bit, I am going stir crazy.

Enjoy this day!
yummy, your dinner sounds great!
Good morning, MMC!

It is so cold out, only 5 degrees right now. BRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

My road is still ice - not going anywhere again today! Good thing I stock up on cat food cheesy

I am going to make chipotle cream of potato soup later this afternoon. I have been experimenting with various potato soup recipes as I have quite a few potatoes I need to use up in the coming months . What I don't eat, the outdoor cats gobble up, so nothing goes to waste. If the recipe is a good one, it goes in my Christmas planner for go-to meals during the holidays. I have been working on the planner a lot of late - it is such fun!

Anyhow, work starts in a few minutes - the morning went by too fast!

Have a MERRY day and stay safe and warm!!!!!!!!
stay safe & enjoy your soup.
I just saw where Etta James has died...such sad news today.RIP. Just got off the phone with brandi and she said that she has noticed the trees in the front yard are getting tiny blooms on them. Can't say that I am surprised at all either,even last year when we had an early spring it was still march before everything bloomed out and was white. I fully expect everything to start in Feb this year,I like to see the seasons change though it serves as a reminder that in time it will be Autumn again,and of course the holidays will be here again too. I am taking everyone out tonight to eat,this is the first night we have been out since the baby came and we have a sitter. I bet we will only be gone an hour or 2 and I think it will be hard too! In 4 short weeks we will be leaving him at the sitter 5 days a week!! it's kind of a wierd feeling but I guess it gets easier with time. I think we will go eat at this Thai place in town that has the best food. I love asian food and it's been a while since I have eaten it. Don't know what else is planned for the weekend,but I plan on taking it easy!! have a great rest of the work day everyone!
yeah, my neighbor has yellow bell shrubs, & their blooming now. so sad the cold will get them later though.
Have to get through the afternoon yet, then WEEKEND! Snow is due tomorrow, so I guess we'll settle in and fix some lunch and dinner at home. We had an inch or so of snow last night. On the way to work I played a CD I made a while back of some pre-1920 Christmas/winter recordings to go along with the snow. It was almost like Christmastime again! Some of the old recordings are so much fun ... like the record of Santa speaking to you through the phonograph. Someday I might put together a radio program featuring them.

Must remember to get some yarn before the snow starts ... my stash is almost used up, and if I'm stuck indoors, I must do some crochet ... I need some white to finish up a blue and white afghan with snowflakes on it.
enjoy your weekend carey.


Sounds like some compensation for being stuck at home with a hurt foot: being able to smell a delicious dinner cooking!



I'm glad you got the book, and I hope you enjoy it! It has a good home!

Hey MMC friends! How are you all on this eve of a weekend? I'm great! I am off this weekend! I ended up getting called into work last night about 1:30 am. We had a labor patient come in. She didn't deliver her baby until 7:30, but I had to be there incase she did.

I am tired today, as I only got about 4 hours of sleep, but I will at least be able to sleep tonight.

DH and I will be busy this weekend. We have a lot of running around to do and we have to start going through the kids clothes. We sell them back to a local store and what we don't sell back, then we donate the rest. We'll then be going to church tomorrow night and spending time with my family.

Well, I am going to read over the countdown and the rest of the boards. Hope you're enjoying your day!
that's so cool of ya'll to donate the clothes.
I found this little lady in the thrift store today for only $5
picture.php

Did not realise what her name was until I got home...
my daughter insisted that I buy it because she said it was just perfect for me.
wow, this is so cool, she bakes cake just like you star!!!
It's warm enough here that my son has his air conditioner on! I don't ever remember running the air conditioner in January before!
i understand, i've had mine on a little this month.
A quick update on my niece. She went to the doctor yesterday and he said that he didn't see any swelling and that he thinks most of her pain is from the way she is walking. Her feet are kind of angled inward so he said that is putting more stress on her knees. So he just recommend that they stay in Physical Therapy. Then my sister took her to the physical therapist and the first thing she said was that my niece's knees were really inflamed yesterday and that she completely disagrees with everything the doctor just said. So my sister doesn't know what to think.

I am off to start getting some stuff done around the house!

Hope you all are enjoying your morning! I will check back in later. :-D
made i'm so sorry your niece is going through all this & then to get 2 totally different opinions about her knees. bless her heart. i am praying for her!
 
hey guys! had to work this morning but got off promptly @ 12. woohoo!
daughter had a friend over last night, such a sweet girl, i think her home life is a bit messed up.bless her heart.
hubby got all the kids to fold laundry & do their chores. oh how i love it when he's here. it's a struggle for me, but once he speaks they get to it.
it's raining buckets here w/ thunder & lightening & predicted to do so all day. think it's movie time!!
i told hubby of some of ya'lls comments on my earlier post & he agrees w/ ya'll. thanks for listening when i get in a funk. i try to keep going but i get burn out sometimes.
cm3 i hope you enjoy your new book today, sounds like you're in the perfect setting for a good book!
to all My MC buddies, have a great weekend!!:roll:
 
Good evening Christmas family !

It is snowing here at a pretty good clip and I am inside sitting on the loveseat with the fireplace roaring. The Christmas lights which are always on the mantle are lit and my tree is on as well. I am listening to Music Choice - Classical Masterpieces. They are playing Mozart's piano concerto no 27 in B-Fla Major -and it is beautiful !! Of all the composers Mozart is my very favorite !!! Though I also Love Beethoven and so many others xo

A relaxing day today. I am getting tired and bored with having to maintain my weight and went on an eating spree today - all comfort foods. I know one day does not mean weight gain but the thing is, I keep doing this. It is my pattern. I maintain weight loss for about two years then go wild. I really do not want to do that because I don't know if I would lose it again with my age and all. It felt good though to eat EXACTLY what I wanted (including cookies that aren't diet !! Shhhhhh!!) I signed up for an extra storage plan with Apple for my Ipod through Icloud. I don't understand how Icloud works or what it is. There is now 15 GB in Icloud but my overal Ipod just has 3.9 GB left. I hope the plan is worth it !!

Work called me tonight because radiology was way way behind. So I got on and typed a couple of hours and I work tomorrow morning too. The new schedule of 8-1/2 hours Mon-Thurs, then off Friday, work Saturday and off Sunday is NOT going to work. That extra half an hour KILLED me this week. I know it shouldn't have but it did.

I am not a Spring Chicken any more and in fact, this is one old dog who is pretty bad at learning new tricks. I hope I can find some resolution with my company. I asked if I could just work 38 hours a week and still do radiology on Saturday. I mean afterall, 38 hours is practically 40. I don't see what the major issue would be but I haven't heard anything back yet.

I just love my Time-Life book of Christmas !! There is another book I think you all would like that was a gift to me from my David several years ago. It is called "Christmas - Penhaligon's Scented Treasure of Verse and Prose" and it was edited by a lady named Sheila Pickles. It is circa 1989. It is just beautiful.

Christmas family please know that you are ALL always in my thoughts and prayers as well as your babies and furkids xo Again,I can't thank you for all enough for taking me under your wing and accepting me - this is something I am just not used to. I would be so lost without you all xo

I haven't seen anything from Snowflake for a long time. I believe she was having problems getting on. I am praying for her and her baby, Harlowe. My Wish is a jolly old guy !! You would never know he is 15 - it is an honest-to-God miracle that he is still with me and doing so well.

((((HUGS)))) CAH, Gabulldawg, Seawaters, MerryCarey, MerryMistletoe, Christmasstar, Xmas, Made, Coach, Binger, Crown, Jennifer, Auntie, Bradmac, Illiam, Sugar, Shellie12, Meceka, Lauriebear, Ella, O'Malley (though he probably would not let me hug him!), Snowball, Palmar, Mouse, Bo, Harlowe, Penny, Snickers, Hobbs, Daisy, Chico, Gomez, and all my Christmas family xo

to all My MC buddies, have a great weekend!!:roll:

I noticed that just now on the weather channel,here it is just cloudy but it is warm like summer...North Georgia and South carolina really looks to be under the gun though...stay stafe!!!
 
came into the kitchen and found Penny staring out the window, tail lashing back and forth, so had to see what she was looking at...
picture.php

figured the bird would be long gone by the time I got may camera out, but it was still there! Those 2 sat for about 5 min staring at each other before Penny finally gave up and walked away.
 
We finally had some snow last night...then ice. Everything around here looks like it is covered in that sticky frosting. I managed to get to church to set some things set up, but nothing is thawing much. Now I'm curled up in a comfy chair with MMC and a cup of tea. What a great way to spend the afternoon!
