Christmas Countdown - 2012

[MerryCarey]

Nothing special to mention today. Just checking in on everyone and wishing you all well and happy. I'm getting tired and drowsy---guess I should go get a mug of tea to keep me going until it's time to go home. I've been in a Broadway mood lately, playing cast albums in my car during the commute.

I haven't been able to think of a "tea version" of "javalicious." "Tea-licious" is just TOO obvious. "Cuppalicious"?

In less than 24 hours we will be on the road to Vermont for the wedding, I went to the Inn's website and they have snow on the ground, I may not be able to go skating, but they have a 500ft drop snow tube area, horse drawn sleigh rides, and a forecast of -2*F for Saturday night.

Oh, I would LOVE to go on a horse-drawn sleigh ride someday!

Tea-lightful!?

Getting ready to call it a day in about 30 minutes! I did talk to my dad at lunchbreak and he sounded really good and upbeat. His nurse tells him he is about 70 percent at where he needs to be by May when he is due to be discharged which is great. I am just glad he is upbeat,nothing is worse than him sounding depressed because all of my life he has been the one to look at the bright side,and when someone like that all of a sudden becomes hopeless and depressed...its just a hard pill to swallow so to speak! I am looking forward to my 2 nephews and 1 niece who are coming next Sunday (Feb19th) from San Deigo on thier spring break. They are flying in with my sister and brother in law on the 16 of feb into Orlando and renting a car going to Disney for 3 days then driving the 3 and a half hours to my house for 5 days..so lookin forward to it! they have not seen the baby so that is why they are coming. My dad and mom are planning on coming in June since my dad has not seen him either. I told my dad he had to get better by May so he can come see him anyhow I better go now...hope everyone is having a great thursday!

Thats great your dad is continuing to improve. and am sure you are looking forward to seeing your sister and family and an sure they cant wait to see jorden

I am going through my emails right now and trying to delete want I don't want and print recipes, etc. that I want saved. It is like toture to me when I miss a few days of not being able to delete these.

Does anyone else know what I am talking about...you go to a store...they want your email for coupons because you have kids. I like getting the coupons, but half the time, they just send me junk!

Hi everyone, just stopping in for a minute or so, hope you are all having a good day today. ♥ I have not replied much lately, but I read every one of your posts. I hope all of our members who do not feel well or have family members/friends that do not feel well get better soon, and that anyone that is stressed out can relax and have a good upcoming weekend. I am tired and caffeine-deprived, so I'm going to crack open a can of Coke and continue on my homework.

Love the picture of the tree! Have fun doing your homework! Make sure you take breaks, so you don't get stressed! :-D

Ooh, I like that! Sounds like how you feel while relaxing and enjoying a really good cup of tea!

LOVE that "type" of tree! I'd also love a nice can of Coke right about now, but I won't---I'm trying to limit my soda.

I need to cut back on my soda as well. I only drink Diet Pepsi or Coke and I know it's "calorie" free, but I know it still makes me gain weight in the long run. I try to drink water instead with lemon or one of those flavor packets in it.

Good afternoon, friends!!

Just the rest of the day to get through, and then it's Friday. Thank God!

What are all of your weekend plans?

Xmas, hope you & your family have a great time in Vermont!

I'd love to see some snow... enjoy!laying:

Brad, hope you guys can still take your trip & have fun too!

We are going to celebrate Valentine's Day a bit early since it falls mid-week & go see a movie, then go out for a nice dinner. We wanted to see The Devil Inside, but it won't be here anymore by then. So, I think we'll see The Woman In Black instead. Nothing like a scary movie to celebrate your
love for one another.. :wink:

Are any of you Hitchcock fans? I have been watching some of the old Black & White Alfred Hitchcock Hour episodes a lot lately. They are so good. I just saw one last night w/ a very young Robert Redford. My favorite is an episode called "An Unlocked Window", it's absolutely terrifying & brilliant at the same time. I remember seeing it the first time when I was very young, and spending the night at my Grandma's house. I could barely fall asleep. We would always make popcorn, watch Hitchcock, and then listen to scary radio shows while trying to fall asleep. I think one of them was The Shadow. "Only The Shadow Knows" (insert evil laugh). My Grandma was the coolest.





BTW, has anyone read any of the Christmas mystery series? I have always wanted to, but didn't know which ones were the most recommended.

Well, I think I need some caffeine. Catch you guys later this evening =)

Hope you and your DH enjoy your Valentine's Day together. Sounds like you will be having a nice night out!

Isn't it nice to remember things like that from your past? Your grandma does sound like she was so much fun.

Hope you have a great rest of your day!

Speaking of limiting the amount of pop (we call it pop here in the 'Burgh!) that you guys drink, I should probably do the same. Sometimes I'll have three cans of pop a day, just because I don't like to drink anything else. I'm not a fan of water let alone the flavored waters - those just taste gross to me. I like blue gatorade but I think I'd get sick of it if I had it all of the time. I wish that I enjoyed water but I can only tolerate it when I'm dying of thirst. I hate coffee and I am not much of a fan of tea unless it's lemon tea...so seriously - I don't have too many options! Juice seems to kick up my acid reflux, especially orange juice - and it's a shame because I'm a fan of apple/orange/grape juice. I wish there was something else that I could drink that I actually liked!

A lot of people call it pop here in my part of Pa too (we're only about 2 hours away from you), but I am one of the few who call it soda.

Hey everybody!!

I know some of you have been wondering as to our illustrious leader's whereabouts!! Just to let you know Jeff is being kept incredibly busy with life at the moment but is keeping a keen eye on things from afar and popping in and out. In the meantime, if you have any questions/problems, please let me know and I'll do my best to sort them out. If I can't, I know a man (or several) (or several women) who should be able to!!!

Party on!!!!!!!!

Just ordered a pizza for EA and I from Papa John's. They said they would have it to my house as soon as they could. That doesn't sound good!
