Christmas Countdown - 2012

[shellie12]

Hi everyone and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Sorry I never made it on here yesterday, but I was exhausted. I worked 12 1/2 hours into yesterday and then they asked me to work today, which is my weekend off, but I agreed to do it. Maybe I'm crazy. Sometimes I think I am! I worked 5 hours today. I'm just getting home. DH is teaching anyway, so it worked out okay.

Him and I are going to a big St. Patrick's Day bash tonight - they sell 500 tickets. It benefits are fire department locally. They do it every year. It will be a lot of fun and I am really looking foward to it. Anyone else have anything planned?

I am just sitting outside now, eating my lunch and enjoying this beautiful. It's 71F and sunny here. I love it!

Hope you're all having a great day. I'm going to get caught up on the countdown now...
sugar why do you agree to do these hours?? you need your time to..while you doing the hours to let someone else so something.you are not giving yourself time to yourself. you seem a lovely person that wood do that But maybe you need to let someone else do it and you take a bit of time for YOU .
Hope you enjoy your night out you deserve it

Good afternoon, Christmas friends. Woke up to frost this morning. It is breezy and kind of cool, even as we speak. I am listening to Irish music, Shellie: Irish Music and Craic-Barnbrack and The Very Best of Tony Kenny's Ireland. Hubby and I are taking my former aide to dinner at the Elks Lodge tonight--corned beef and cabbage. We are going to Mass first. Right now, I am so tired. Hubby is helping me do laundry, and he is also packing up boxes from our kitchen/den area. He is really anxious to get started on the remodeling. I am going to take a nap so I can "party" tonight. I love wine, but I gave it up for Lent; so it will be a party night with diet Pepsi!!! Have a great day, everyone. Oh, CAH, I was thinking the same thing about breakfast with Brad! I guess we just have to get up earlier!!!
We were the same frost was on the roofs and cold this morning about twenty to seven
But it turned out to be a lovely day. i was able to wear a short sleeved dress. great your hubby helps you with the everyday household things
Hope you got a nap and have a goodtime. over there if your off something for lent, paddys day does not count .
And yes i have heard of barnbrack but cant say that much about them.

anyone who may still be up please pray for my daughter she's at work right now at the college in london ontario, and there is rioting going on. Apparently a saint patrick's day party got out of hand she is only 1 block away from where all this is going on. They have an entire city block cordoned off with swat teams in and she is quite nervous. thank you I will give you update when I know them

Good morning mmc! it's a little too early to be up on a sunday morning but I can't sleep. I have been waking every 2 hours. I guess I will go back for a nap before church services. IT's been a very busy weekend when I thought it would be a laid back one! We even had a fish fry last night with some friends and neigbours. Just church is planned for today although we will probably invite some friends from church over for lunch afterwards!@ Easter is coming soon!!!! can't wait for sunrise church services...those are so moving!! well have a great day everyone! we are suppose to have temps reach 88F today and tomorrow....I am dreading those hot summer months already!

Good Morning.

Did everyone go green yesterday?
The warmest St Patricks Day I can ever recall in the 44 years we have lived here.

What else is hot?
This of course - and don't get burned:
Days to the Season: 240
Days to Christmas Day: 282
One week from tomorrow, Guys -- the ONE QUARTER Milestone to Christmas Day!
(My! Milestones certainly come and go quickly around here, Toto!)

Incredibly warm weather continues here and it still feels like May instead of March.
The humidity was even up a little, too.
Violent lightning storm here last night. No problems for us, just loud as some of the strikes were quite close!

You have a Super Sunday, Everyone!
Enjoy the balance of your Weekend in the spirit of the Season and keep that Christmas song in your heart.

Good Sunday morning Christmas family.


I was just reading a couple of posts when I read about your daughter, Christmasstar... I know this is late but I offered prayers for her safety as soon as I read ...xo

Made... How is your niece ?

I am WAY behind on the countdown and praying everyone is doing okay. I am going to look at laptops today...shouldn't really buy one right now but I am going CRAZY without one.

((((Hugs))))) everyone

Thank you everyone for your prayers.

Here is the news story from the morning news:

She was only 1/2 block from all this. Police had the neighbourhood blocked off and also had the townhouses where she was working on lock down. Jeannine told me this morning that after all the prayers started she felt total peace and was not afraid anymore. Several students stayed with her and security guards checked on her quite often.

Good morning, my dear Christmas friends and family!!! Have a beautiful day!!!!

 

[merrymistletoe]

good a.m. My MC family!
heard from hubby this morning, kind'a. he sent me an email of his arrival & said he was very tired after such a long flight. his cell isn't working there & the hotel doesn't have phones. i've never heard of such. his laptop needs an adapter to be charged so i don't know when i may hear from him again & I DO NOT LIKE THAT!!
got to see & spend some time w/ my godchildren last evening. their mom needed to do some shopping for my godson as he grows like a weed. my little goddaughter only gets taller, she's such a tiny petite thing. of course, when their mom came back she had bought for both. she found their Easter outfits & the outfits gorgeous. frills & lace for Averi & "little man" clothes for Antonio. it's quite a sweet story of them & my daughter. when my kids were little their mom, Ashley, babysat for us alot & her mom is my best friend. well my kids especially daughter, being the youngest, began calling her Nana & to this day they still call her nana. now my daughter & i babysit the kids for Ashley & they call my daughter Nana. Ashley's mom & i have drifted apart somewhat due to her & her husband divorcing, & my brother & her x are best friends too. nothing dramatic, just felt kind'a awkward. she's moved on somewhat & he has too. when i do get to talk to her she hugs me & tells me she loves me & i do her too. she's the best friend i ever had, i just don't like talking about her x & she does it alot. anyhoo, Averi & Antonio call me & hubby auntie & unc. they are so sweet & i love them soooo.
think i'm gonna watch a little tv, try to find some gardening stuff on. talk to ya'll in a bit. as a matter of fact, you guys will probably get sick of seeing me over the next week as i'll be on here much more.:yahoo:

Christmasstar, glad your daughter is safe!

Merrymistletoe, Good to hear your husband made it safely and I bet you will be glad when he returns.
