Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Bradmac]

Good Sunday morning, my Christmas friends!

We're running around like crazy trying to get ready for church. I worked at Bernie's all day yesterday, and my feet hurt from standing up for 13 hours. Poor me, lol! I closed the store and wnt to a prime rib dinner last night, so it wasn't all bad. :wink:

While I was working, I noticed a couple walking around our train depot taking pictures. The depot is now owned by the city. We restored it and we let people use it for parties, family reuinions, etc. Anyway, they were looking in the windows , so I hollered across the street that they could go inside, if they wanted. They were worried that someone might complain, but I told them I was the mayor and it wasn't a problem. LOL

It turns out, they were from PA vacationing in FL, and they decided to take backroads home to check out small-town America. They were very nice, and very complimentary of the town and Bernie's store, so I have decide they are very smart folks indeed!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!! It's going to be a chilly but sunny day here in Central Indy. Well after all of the hype and all of the preparations it's finally game day. They are showing parking lots downtown and it's going to cost you $495 dollars if you want to park next to the stadium. A little further out is still running $100. There are still 1000 tickets available if anyone wants to head up. Well I'm off to clean my apartment. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

HoHoHello and Merry Super Sunday!


So my friend who discovered the tumor last week had her review in Sudbury and they found out that it's not the size of a dime on her brain, it's the size of a looney and it's inside the brain. The doctor said it was likely building up over more than a year. Due to the seizure she experienced last weekend and her young age, they have her on a fast track for surgery, they hope to remove it within the next six weeks. She's handling the news well and trying to make the people around her feel okay by saying she's "fine". Keeping a positive attitude is really important. I've talked with her a few times and always wait for her to say goodbye and hang up first. My husband watched these two youngsters fall in love and he's so worried for both of them. I'm planning on taking her out next Saturday with a few other gals from work so she can enjoy some local theatre talent and listen to an friend of ours perform two songs as a rehearsal for a video he's making in a few weeks. I don't want her staying inside just waiting for her appointment. My husband's so caring, he doesn't want to see her yet because he's worried he'll get emotional and he doesn't want her to know how scared he is for her and Steve. I reminded him of how our ex-daughter-in-law survived and that cancer - even brain cancer - isn't a death sentence, we just have to stay positive and give her hope. He agrees, but still isn't ready to see her. I think it's sweet of him to care that much.

Keep Bekki and Steve in your thougths and prayers please.

So I'm relaxing right now!

I had a merry memory last night about the Christmas my parents and older brother and I spent in a temporary home on the outskirts of town. We had a tree-trimming and cut your own tree down party. It was a nice place and a happy gathering. I also recall, when nobody was at home, relaxing in the above floor large old-fashioned tub listening to Classical music and Christmas tunes. Good memories.

Good morning,

I guess it's the big game day, I am making my homemade Buffalo wings for dinner, but probably not watching the game. We did get invited to a Super Bowl party, but the game starts at 6:30, and the boys go to bed at 7, and it's a school night so we had to decline. LC woke up at 4am complaining of a bellyache, and has been up since, but he is feeling better now.

Enjoy the day!

Got coffee!

My computer is a bit slow today - never had a problem before and I only have two windows open at the same time, hope it's only due to running diagnostics while surfing.

Made...good ideas on the costumes. Heard they were Having problems with dale jr. Impersonators. People showing up saying they were him simply because they didn't have any trophies with them.

Hope LC feels better.
We started making plans yesterday to watch the game at home with raw vegies, a few crackers and spinach dip as long as we have a late lunch that should work out fine. All of a sudden I'm craving Sloppy Joe's. I don't usually watch the whole game.

For those watching, enjoy the game and the ridiculously high-priced commercials.

I know what you mean....Last week on the morning radio show I listen to they were discussing whether or not they should move the game to saturday..in some ways I wish they would but then again its just tradition for it to be on Sunday.lol I never drink or anything anyways,I learned a long time ago never drink during a big game...tempers can flare very easy.lol.....Hope your son does not get sick too!!! enjoy your day with them! The wings sound very very good too!

Wishing a happy football Sunday to everyone! We may not even leave the house today---we've got groceries and plan to fix loco moco for a late lunch and watch "Ma and Pa Kettle in Waikiki." Don't forget to look in on the Puppy Bowl!

Good morning and Happy Sunday! =)
I'm sick... but got six new Christmas dvd's from Play.com yesterday
so I know what I will do today! =)

I hope those DVDs make you feel better!

They're certainly in my thoughts.

My computer is a bit slow today - never had a problem before and I only have two windows open at the same time, hope it's only due to running diagnostics while surfing.

If there's a big software update running in the background, it'll slow you down quite a bit. Especially a big Microsoft update.

good midday everyone! Me and brandi went to morning services but I came home a little early to cook some chicken fajitas(sp) for some friends that are joining us after church gets out at noon. Today is her and Jordans first day going to church so she is going to be showing him off too I can't believe our church is not meeting tonight.I may sound rigid in my thinking but I simply can't believe they are going to cancel sunday night services for a ballgame!!!! but of course no one will say it's for that reason,they are meetting extra long this morning until 1230 then eating afterwards then just canceling tonights service. BUt do not for one minute ponder it's because of the superbowl even though its every year on superbowl sunday!lol.ugh...I was brought up very very religious and I guess more rubbed off on me than I thought.lol excuse my rant. but I don't like hypocrosy and I think if the elders just came out and said it was because of the game I would feel better about it.anyways I better get busy have a great afternoon everyone!

Good morning, everyone! Well it seems I've def. caught my kids cold. I started out yesterday with a sore throat and last evening at my parents, I felt like my head was going to explode. Well, I took a Nyquil, but this morning, the cold is full blown and here. I am sure my immunity is low since I've been working a lot and not getting a lot of sleep. Hopefully it doesn't stay long!

Not much going on here today. We're just going to relax, then watch the game tonight. I will probably only watch a little bit of it since I work tonight.

Well, off to read the countdown. Ttyl. Have a great day!

 

[ballcoach]

Coffee is done...dip is on....hot wings are next...then the homemade pizza...

and we are still hours from kickoff...

on second thought, cannot do....the Next Great baker finale show is on tonight.

What a great show and what a great example of a family! I love them!

 

[sugar142286]

Hope you feel better

Thanks! How is your foot? How are the kids feeling?

 

[xmas365]

Thanks! How is your foot? How are the kids feeling?

Thanks for asking, my foot is starting to feel better, it is not a sharp pain anymore, more of an annoying dull pain. The kids are feeling better, I think LC is a little anxious about us going to the wedding in Vermont next weekend, the boys will be staying with their grandparents, he hasn't slept over there since he was a year old.
