Christmas Countdown - 2012

[brent]

Good afternoon, everyone!

Enjoying my first lunch break of the new week. I had a fairly decent weekend. My back has its off and on moments. I seem to be pushing myself too much, however. I'm too active for my own good. For the next week, I will just do some light exercises and make sure that I am not putting any more stress on it.

The game last night was entertaining. It was good to watch from a (somewhat) neutral position. It would have been smart if New England let the Giants score as soon as they entered the red zone. Ah well...

It's a bright sunny day outside in Ottawa. Temperatures are above freezing (+3c) without windchill... -1c with windchill. A little too warm for this time of year. Not much new happening here either. Excited for the 1/4 to the Season milestone in a mere six days! Although it is hard to get motivated for the work week with our favourite time of year so far away, these milestones certainly make the time go by much faster!

Have a great Monday, everyone! The day is half over.

Yes! I don't watch the news at all during the holidays. I'm in my truck a lot, usually listening to politcal talk radio, but not during the holidays. It's all Christmas music starting 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. I wish MCR was broadcast on Sirius/XM!

I know!! I feel like it's almost a sin to watch news during the Holidays.lol Lately it's all so depressing and scary and mean spirited it goes against everything the holidays mean to me!! I was so glad I found the local radio station that started playing Christmas music on November 1st,last year. But it went off the air or rather changed it's format since then though...our main top 40 station in town playes Holiday music but it does not start until the day after thanksgiving..I can't wait till next year...I miss that the most!

I agree. But, I guess that football fans are going to watch the halftime show regardless. And, of course, Madonna is an easy way to attract the casual/outside fan. At least she wasn't as terrible as the Black Eye Peas.

You are the second person I have heard mention that today...I missed the year they performed!!omg I want to see that that must be really bad!...when I get home I may you tube it..does anyone remember what year that was?

 

[gabulldawg]

So sorry to hear this. How is Julie doing? A loss of an animal is so hard. She's in my thoughts and prayers!

Thanks Sugar!! she is doing better over the weekend,she was basically devastated and inconsolable(sp) the day it happened,but I can understand especially with her being the one who found the dog on the street after it happened but I think although she does not want to adopt another dog I know she will find another critter to give her love to eventually!!

Just wanted to mention everyone next tuesday I have to go to court to be a witness in an court case...I have known about it since december 2nd when I got the supeona. It's a divorce case of a friend of mine but I really really hate being called as a witness...makes me very very nervous thinking about it,this could be why I have had trouble sleeping the last few nights..I will be so relieved after it's over! it's a 2 hour drive to the courthouse so I have to miss work that day too. Everyone who prays please do so for me! Feb 14th at 11 am thanks!!!

I can absolutely 100% say that there is no cancer for my mom.

I am so glad to hear that, I hope the fogginess goes away soon. Did the Dr say it could be caused by the stress of this situation?

jennifer, so happy to hear of the final good report for your mom!
I agree with xmas, stress can really leave a person in a fog. I have the same thing after our house burned when my kids were little.

 

[MerryCarey]

I can absolutely 100% say that there is no cancer for my mom. We are both very relieved and so is my entire family! Now it looks like she can FINALLY relax.

Thanks for the good news! I hope she is feeling less foggy and more like her old self soon. I think stress could have something to do with it.

I'll be thinking of you ... I've never appeared as a witness, but I'd be nervous too.

It could happen yet. The executor of my father's estate just declined to provide an accounting for the estate on the grounds that it might incriminate her. An emergency motion for her removal as executor has already been filed.

I had to appear as a witness in a dispute between one of my best friends and his brother. There were a lot of hard feelings in his family (four brothers) after their parents died. A couple of the brothers got greedy and it actually led to a fistfight between my friend and one of his brothers one afternoon while I was there. A pretty intense fistfight.

I was super uncomfortable going to the hearing because, even though Joey is a great friend of mine, I know all of them well. Anyway, we got it behind us, but none of the brothers speak to the others now. Over money! Sheesh.

Hey everyone! Just stopping in real quick. Just got up for the day. I slept so good today! Thank goodness for that!

I am not sure what we'll be up to tonight. I work at 11, but other than that, no plans here for this girl.

Well, off to read the count. I hope to get caught up.

That's really such a shame that you have to be called as a witness - it truly puts you in such an awkward and uncomfortable position. When it comes to a subject like divorce, I think it needs to be between two people and no one else (except maybe the lawyers of course) - I especially disagree with bringing witnesses into court. It's very unfair that you have to be in that position.

I hate the feeling of knowing that I have to do something that I don't want to (such as a dr appt, etc) because I never sleep over it either. When I had to get my wisdom teeth out last spring, I had a month to wait before they could do the surgery. Oh, I can't even put into words how anxious and nervous I was for that whole entire month. It seriously ruined the whole month for me because I just wanted the day to come and it to be over with!

I will pray for you that you can have some peace of mind this next week or so until you go to court, and that you have a safe trip there and back since it's a lengthy drive. I hope all goes well! You will feel much better when it's all done with.

I thinki it is encouraging some students to be lazy and unnacountable...anyways when I saw the turkey guy on tv I thought about posting about it here since it reminded me of our contest...have a great afternoon everyone!

I would say I have to agree with you. Whatever grade you get, you get. The kid deserves it and needs to study for it. Some work very hard for what he or she gets too....

 

[sugar142286]

I didn't go. I really wanted to go see him and Darius Rucker but I refused to drive down town and pay $60 to $80 dollars to park. If the busses had ran later than 9pm I would have went.

That's crazy for the parking! Wow - Indy was really making some money this week then! It would have been a good concert.

DH is taking me to see Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney this summer in Pittsburgh. We've seen them both before, but never together. I think it will be truly AWESOME.

I just got back from taking LC to the Dr. The Dr. said it looks like it may be a touch of what myself and JP had last week. Hopefully he will sleep through the night tonight.

Good afternoon (or evening depending when you are)!!

Hope your Monday is going well!

Hubby & I had a great time @ the concert Saturday night. It was the best Motley Crue show that we've seen!! Very theatrical & fun :wink: Our friend, John, got to ride w/ Tommy Lee on his drum rollercoaster, so that was cool to see! We were in a suite, so we had a perfect view of the stage. Also got to catch up w/ some of his friends & former co-workers =)


Jennifer, excellent news for your Mom! So happy for you guys!


Auntie, I will keep Bekki & Steve in my thoughts & prayers. God Bless them. You & your husband sound like wonderful, supportive friends.

Sugar, hope you're feeling better today. Glad you got some good sleep!
It's lunchtime here, and reading about all of the yummy food you guys had for the game made me hungry

You too, Made! Can you please send some of those cupcakes over?!

My sandwich & apple just didn't cut it, lol.

Better get going, lunch break is almost over.

TTYS!!

I can absolutely 100% say that there is no cancer for my mom. We are both very relieved and so is my entire family! Now it looks like she can FINALLY relax. The only problem is my mom is extremely tired since her surgery and her head is in a major fog. The surgeon has no clue what that could be from and he has never heard of anyone being like that. He said it is unlikely it is still the anesthesia, but it still may be possible. The only other thing is that she had a nausea patch on from the surgery and took it off a couple of days ago, apparently that could cause disorientation and those symptoms. Whatever it is, we hope it goes away soon and then she should be good to go!

Very good for your mum. am sure your all so glad what a weight of your minds!! was thinking your mum could be stressed out with the worry and the stress. a foggy feeling is usually a sign. i always think it feels lke your under water. it it is it should leave in a while

I just got back from taking LC to the Dr. The Dr. said it looks like it may be a touch of what myself and JP had last week. Hopefully he will sleep through the night tonight

at least you know i think once a bug comes into a house it goes round most of the people in it hopefully in a day or so he will be find
