Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Seawaters]

Congrats. I bet the ears did it!!!

Merry Christmas to me!!! I finally got my platinum membership:wiggy:

 

[Seawaters]

Take care of yourself. LOVED your word, "hecticness"!!!

I am going to go lay down on the couch, put my feet up, and do some reading for my Meteorology class. I do not feel very well at all! Ever since I got into bed last night, my stomach has been bothering me. I couldn't even fall asleep because it was growling and making crazy noises constantly, lol. I didn't eat much yesterday with all of the hecticness so I thought that was the problem. I had hot chocolate, a breakfast bar, chicken noodle soup, and a can of coke today and I already feel so full and queasy. Hopefully I'm not coming down with something.

For some good news...almost Friday! Anyone have fun weekend plans - Super Bowl stuff included!?

 

[Seawaters]

I used to live in Japan and they thought they were shipping it to me!!! I lived on Honshu Island, and they did not realize I now live in northern California!!! Check out Kintai Bridge!!!

I found our snow, it seems someone made a mistake when shipping it here and it instead went to Japan

Please tell us more!!!

Errands are finally done, everyone should be home soon. Another book came in today, "Why Does Santa Wear Red?" More curiosities and facts about Christmas, I can't wait to dive into that one. Not much more planned for today.

Enjoy the day!

You KNEW that hubby and I watch this on satellite, huh!!!

I'm just sayin'....

 

[Seawaters]

I am sorry. That would be me or is it that would be I???

It's getting pretty crazy!!!! Traffic here in my town has picked up and there have been a lot of small Jets coming into the airport near me. I feel sorry for the fans coming in tomorrow though because it looks like rain all day Saturday.

Honey buns AND Lance??? Heaven!!! We don't have Lance out here in California. Oh, Man!!!

good evening ya'll!
well after my rant on here this morning i felt a little better.
but CAH, you're gonna kill me, after dropping off daughter this a.m. i stopped @ the convenience store, went in, bought not 1 but 2 honey buns, & not 1 but 2 packs of lance crackers. guess i wanted to stuff my anxiety away. anyhoo after talking w/ a friend of mine @ work i felt a little MORE better so i only ate 1 honey bun & 1 pack of crackers. i'm such a failure. after & only after i ate the honey bun & turned the wrapper over & "bout had a coronary from the # of calories in it. i'm so bad!
my son called me after he left class today & someone in the financial aid office gave him some brochures on some private school loans that may be an option for him. hubby & i are gonna look them over tonight.

[Seawaters]

You are so NOBLE!!! I would just try the chocolates!!!

((((((((SEAWATERS))))))))

merrymistletoe: I'll keep your son in my prayers - college can be so stressful for everyone involved! I usually eat chocolate when I am stressed or anxious, although for the past two days I have been trying vanilla chai tea and yoga/pilates instead - it helps!

Good evening, MMC!

I hope this finds everyone well - have a MERRY evening!

 

[ballcoach]

Hey, gang! Did someone say Friday?

Going to be a long day tomorrow, but I will be around A LOT this tomorrow night and this weekend! See ya then!

 

[Seawaters]

I am so smiling about your new "baby." LOVE it!!!

Good evening, dear Christmas family !

I am finally finished working this evening.

I had forgotten how tiring it can be to train a new furchild, though I am glad to have my new little Hermione. I take her out it seems like every few seconds because she is so young (barely eight weeks old !!) It is so WORTH IT though. When she makes mistakes I don't yell at her as she doesn't understand. I just take her out and let her sniff and sometimes we have success !! I am sure to give her lots of kisses and hugs and try to make her feel loved without forgetting my other furkids of course, especially my Wishbone. Hermione is getting the idea and I am sure eventually all will be fine. She plays with my adult Rhodesian Ridgeback and you should see them !!! She climbs all over Clancy and Clancy doesn't say a word....just plays with her right back and of course lets Hermione know if she is crossing the line too much. As soon as I get my laptop back, I will post pictures more pictures of her. Can we post our own videos here on MMC ?? If so, I will post a video of Hermione and Clancy playing together !

Wishbone is still doing well regarding his heart and Ivy and Clancy are well too. My two kitties, Smokey and Lily have finally gotten used to Hermione and now ignore her for the most part. Lily is getting fixed next week and though I dread how uncomfortable I know she will be I will be glad that she is fixed. We just went through her first and only heat cycle with her. Yoy !! it was awful !!

Work is good but they changed me to Monday through Friday on a temporary basis and I am not used to it. Thank God tomorrow is FRIDAY !!!

I got the notice to renew my Hallmark Ornament membership in the mail and I am so EXCITED about it !! The club ornaments this year are AMAZING !! I can't wait for the new catalog of ornaments for 2012 !

I hope all are well. I have missed SO MUCH on the site lately. You have all been with me in my prayers and in my heart. I could NEVER forget my Christmas family !! xo

I am wondering if Winter is EVER going to arrive this year. I know we have had warm Winters before but this really concerns me. I am not saying what is responsible for it but I do believe the Earth is getting warmer. I hope the poor planet can "fix" itself somehow. This weather is just not right.

I hope everyone is well.

Jennifer, I saw that your tummy was not feeling well. I hope it is better and that your mother is feeling better ! xo

CAH - Are you feeling okay, my dear friend ?? I hope so !

Meceka - If I had seen that snake I would have jumped right out of my skin !!! I HATE snakes and am terrified of them.

Xmas - I hope your foot is better !

Brad - How is being Mayor ?? I know you are the BEST one ever !

Made - How is your niece ?? How is the job hunt going for you and your mother ?? I will keep you in my prayers along with your niece xo

Sugar - Are you getting to rest these days ?? I admire you so much !! It takes a special something to be a nurse. I could NEVER do it !

Snowflake - How are you and little Harlowe ?? Praying for you also xo

Iliam - Keeping your girlfriend and her family in my prayers. It is so hard to lose a loved one xo

Lauriebear - I hope you are doing well and Snickers too !!

Crown and Binger - I always drink both Coffee and Tea every day in your honor !!

Christmasstar - ((((HUGS))))) to you my dear friend xo

(((Seawaters)))) - Praying you got better news today xo

Ella, Snickers, Harlowe, Snowball, Chico, Daisy, Hobbs, Scooby, Sasha, Gomez, Mr. O'Malley the cat, and all furkids, big ((((HUGS))) from your Caninemom3 xo

I know I didn't mention everyone. I hope I can get my laptop back soon I am having withdrawal ! I am typing this on my husband's laptop which only has half a mother board left and is kind of iffy whether it will work or not !

Have a Christmassy evening Dear Christmas family !! xo

Made - How is your niece ?? How is the job hunt going for you and your mother ?? I will keep you in my prayers along with your niece xo

Thanks CM3!!! My niece is doing okay. She has her good days and bad days but overall she seems to be doing better since the last round of steroid injections. I haven't really started hunting for a job for myself yet. I've been concentrated on helping my mom get her resume ready and helping her put in applications online. She can't afford to be without insurance real long. I'd hate to see how much her insulin would cost a month without coverage. Luckily she just got a 6 month supply filled right before she got let go.


I hope you get your laptop fixed soon!!!! I know it almost killed me the week I was without mine last year.

 

[Christmasstar]

Can't seem to sleep tonight, to much on my mind.
Thought I would come here for awhile and see what is going on...

 

[made582]

Is there ANYTHING I can do??? Don't be afraid to ask!!!

Does this apply to me too? I might need someone to bail me out of jail tomorrow night if I get caught sneaking into the playboy party!!!!

 

[made582]

Honey buns AND Lance??? Heaven!!!

Especially if they were iced honey buns!!!!

 

[made582]

Can someone come take this box of girl scout cookies before I eat the whole thing?

 

[shellie12]

Hopefully all will work out for him collage is hard at the best of times . but do you need the extra stress of being 2 stone more that you wanta be.eating your cream buns....am joking we all need a way of going mad sometimes

Watching a rather lackluster hockey game, I am exhausted, my foot is cranky and very painful, I have not taken my pain meds since I was sick over the weekend, I have been afraid to take it with a weak stomach. Trying to be positive about my foot though. Hopefully it will be better soon.

Guess its a catch 22. between the meds and the stomach. you probably need the pain kllers but again they can annoy the stomach. are you on inflamation tablets as well? they are really sore on the stomach.

Hope everyone is well! Just wanted to say hello and send you some Christmas warm cheer in February.

On Jan 9th we finally moved into our first apartment. This will be the first year I am finally in control of decorations for the holidays. I am over joyed with this. I have been looking at photos, buying things on discount and planning the tree. I can't wait to decorate early like an insane (but happy) christmas fiend

xoxo
