Christmas Countdown - 2012

[merrymistletoe]

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be another mild day here in central Indy with a high near 50. It looks like we could get some strong storms tonight though. I'm dragging this morning after staying up to watch the race last night and then the post race on speed channel. So I don't see a lot getting done today. My plan is to find some christmas craft ideas to do with my nieces. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now, now made, you know better than to stay up too late.oh let me know if you come across some cool Christmas crafts. ok?

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I have avoided getting sick for weeks now while everyone around me suffered from one ailment after another, but I finally lost. When I went ot bed last night, my throat was really sore. This morning, it doesn't hurt too much, but I'm hoarse and less thatn 100%. Doggone it!!

Today is my son's guitar practice and my daughter's dance practice, so we all finally get together around 8pm every Tuesday.

I'm looking forward to my couch this evening!

I hope y'all have a great day!

oh bradmac i wish you well, the honey you mentioned might do the trick. i've also heard that. sounds like you guys have busy tuesdays. aah i remember those days.

Good afternoon, everyone! It is noon here and I am getting hungry so I think I'm going to make myself a salad for lunch. I have a lot of studying to do today - a midterm tomorrow and a test on Thursday. I wish that I had some TV shows to watch tonight, but nothing is on aside from Last Man Standing. I am really in the mood for a hockey game, but the Penguins don't play until tomorrow.

I think I'm coming down with a cold which isn't good at all, especially with all of the work I have to do. I went out to the mall, to lunch, and to the grocery store on Thursday and I started to feel sick on Sunday, so I know I picked something up at one of those places.

Next week is spring break - thank goodness. I need some time off! I am not going anywhere but I don't mind, I'll probably take a vacation in the summer.

I am off to do some studying - have a great day, everyone!

both my sons are on spring break next week too. after all you've had to do, you could use some rest & relaxation. hope the cold stays away.

Good afternoon everyone. We were told yesterday that my Mom's cancer is back. Given her past surgeries and age, it is basically inoperable. It is in the pelvic area, buried inside scar tissue. The good news is that it is a rare and slow growing type and all her vital organs are clear for now. Not sure what the next step is, if anything.

On a positive note, our high school baseball season kicks off today with our first game. My son starts in leftfield and bats 5th. He is just a sophomore so hopefully it will be a fun 3 seasons of high school baseball. We are very much a baseball family. To us, football, basketball, golf are ok but pale in comparison to baseball.

Have a great day everyone.

oh sweety,i'm so sorry to hear of your mother's illness. i will be praying for her. your son must be pretty good being a sophomore..5th up, & leftfield. way to go!!!!!

Good afternoon Christmas family

You wouldn't like this snowstorm---I think it's supposed to switch back and forth between snow and rain a couple times. Sounds like a slushy mess in the making.

Stay safe, MC!

Good evening, everyone! Just wanted to stop in real quick and say good night! I will be heading to bed soon, to take my nap before work.

I hope everyone has been having a great day/evening.

I will talk to you all tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Enjoy your movie w/ Lindsay!! Let us know what you see, CS =)

thank you, we had a good afternoon, watched "This means war" It had some funny parts and action parts and then the parts I did not care for at all. Would not watch it again. But it was nice to spend time with friends and my daughter.

I am so sorry to hear this. I had really hoped for good news, as I am sure you were too. Will she go through radiation or chemo? Thinking of her and your family during this time.

The area between my index finger and my thumb is swollen like a balloon right now. I started taking notes for my study guide at 12:30 and I finished at 7:00 PM. I only stopped once to eat dinner and that was only a 15 minute break.

Hopefully it goes down because I swear my hand looks like a claw right now and it hurts to straighten it at all. Thanks, college!

All part of the college experience, parties, late nights and claws! cheesy

Good evening,

Spring training is in full swing, it's Red Sox almost all the time now on the radio intertwined with some Bruins and Celtics talk, I saw this morning that there was a fire in an office at Fenway Park yesterday, I guess it was minor but it caused $100,000 worth of damage. I heard it was a bit of Red Sox memorabilia that was lost and/or damaged. They are celebrating Fenway's 100th anniversary this year, what a way to begin.

Just watching the Bruins now, I feel so tired, I didn't sleep well last night, so I may retire to bed early. The pot roast was great, I made my wife Shepard's pie with ground turkey since she doesn't eat red meat, plenty of lunches for work the next few days.


Have a great night everyone!

Bradmac...extra vitamen C and hot lemon and honey drinks!

mgramsey, sorry to hear about your mom, my prayers are with your family

Hello friends...I have been away from the site for a bit. As some of you may know, I joined a dating site about a month ago. I have had lots of dates and met some very nice ladies. But I have not had potential love connection..until this past weekend. I had a date with a lovely woman about 40 miles from me. She is a nurse and we have many similar interests. She likes to dine out, cook and grill and home, travel, take weekend road trips and lots of other cool things just like I do. She also absolutely LOVES Christmas just as I do. She was so thrilled when I shared with her my love for Christmas and the fact that I'm on this site. I'm really excited about the possibilities with her.

Hope you guys are all doing well and I'm so thankful for each and everyone who post/contribute to this site. Ofen I just come on here to read and take in the wonderful spirit from this site and all of you who make it what it is. Thank you!

I am so happy for you, how wonderful. Best of everything.

I agree many times I have come and just read thru the pages just to keep that feeling close.

I will pray for your family. My, heart is full, so many things running thru it at this time. I can't even write that word.

But, on the happy side I hope your son does well and most important has fun.

Well I posted a few days ago that I was in the market for a new car, I also said I was going to wait until near the end of the year. Well I just couldn't wait!!! After some research and online searching, and agonizing if I should do it now, I did find a pretty good deal on a 2009 Toyota Camry. I was afraid that if I didn't jump on this I would regret it. I know it is a very dependable car and has the highest safety rating, and will be much better on gas than my Grand Prix was. I have mixed emotions about the whole thing, I love the car, and am happy with it overall, but as I said in my original post, I hoping to go another year or two before having to do this. But all is well, it's a good car and I am very happy with it.

woohoo, a new car. i bet cah is styling driving now?(not that she wasn't before) cool for you guys. i had a camry & have nothing but good to say about them. unfortunately, as my rents have aged & sons gained girlfriends ours got too small for everyone so i traded in on a 7 seater ford explorer. never owned a ford in my life but i enjoy it & the fact that when we travel we have room for everyone. tha gas mileage isn't goodthough, makes me wish for the camry back!!

good a.m. my mc family!! gotta go into work today, it's been so slow i had my regular Monday off & tuesday also. wednesdays are usually half days so i ain't complaining.
my allergies have been totally whacked lately so i cleaned this house top to bottom, dusting, sweeping, mopping, etc. the cleaning, of course, did a number on my allergies but in the long run they should get better.
my daffodils are in bloom now. they're so pretty.
i take my Daisy into the groomers this morning. she's a toy poodle & is in desperate need of a cut. since i'm only working 1/2 day i thought it would be a great time to get her all cleaned up. she hates to be there so i try to make it as short a visit as possible. maggie(choc.lab), diva(rescue), & mickey(rescue),all got their baths on Sunday so their good to go. i hope this cuts down on the allergies too. i think they're all getting their spring coat & w/ all that shedding we did a little extra on them. we usually bathe all of them 1x a week. our white cat holly...well that's another story. she doesn't like to get bathed or anything.she's not very nice, you can't even pet her for more than a second or she'll bite/attack you, & it hurts. i have the scars to prove it. i tell everyone, she allows us to be her owners, feed her & clean up after her, that's it.
i hope ya'll have a great wednesday & hope to see ya'll tonight @ the pines.

 

[iliam]

Thanks! Yay, I won't miss the party!



Aw, thanks, that's nice!



See "The Artist"! See "The Artist"! You'll love it.

We're planning to see that one next week. We watched Gone. I'd never heard of it but it's a suspense thriller am my girlfriend loves those...it wasn't very good. Well the ending wasn't at least.

Happy leap day/pines day everyone. I'm up early at the gym(this is written while resting). These 5am mornings are rough on me. Well that's enough resting, I'll talk to you guys soon and am so happy about the leap day, mile stone, pines day!
