Crazy? Now, why in the world would that be crazy? To me, it sounds perfectly sane!!!

Hello MMC friends! Hope you all are having a great Sunday! I almost watched A Christmas Story last night but ended up being too tired and just fell asleep. I was thinking yesterday about how much I miss my Christmas tree and all the lights...I am so tempted to get out my little tree and set it up for a few days! Would that be crazy!?! Haha!

It needs to be Christmas in July already! :wiggy:

Not much going on here in California. Dinner is in the crockpot: stew meat seasoned with Emeril's original blend, carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, beef broth, and barley. I also used a good mushroom gravy packet for added flavor. I will work on laundry a little later so everything will be clean in case the chemo this week isn't nice to me. I set up an appointment for Wednesday to get my head shaved. Anyone here need any extra hair? Brad, do you want to make a set of Spock eyebrows? Remember that Halloween is coming up and you might want a snazzy costume/disguise!!! Have a great day, everyone. I am working on a project that I will tell you all about when it is completed. I sound as secretive as Coach!!!

You're dinner sounds sooo good! That wig does sound good for Halloween...keep that in mind, Seawaters!!!

Good Afternoon MMC!

Hi!
Thought it was about time I checked in. Got into a good book that I actually put down for awhile.
Went to church this morning, came home and had brunch with the family. Made a banana cream pie for desert tonight.
Now I am reading through the posts here before getting into my book again.

have a great day everyone!

You're talking to the people who think 365 days of Christmas would be the best thing in the world...nothing about Christmas is crazy to us!

Morning, gang! All caught up on reading posts. Just sitting here looking out the windows and enjoying the sunlight that is coming through. It's windy out, but I love the breeze....can't beat it.

Today, our high school baseball and softball team play in district tourneys, so I'm going to spend the afternoon at the ballpark. After the games, I've got the steaks ready to go and the grill cleaned. Going to be a nice day. However, this morning I've got to spend a few hours at the office.

Anyways, I'm going to enjoy a little more coffee and time on the board. I'll see y'all later!

It sounds like you had a nice morning! I love a little bit of a breeze. I hope that your teams did well. Send a steak my way because that sounds delicious!

Community yard sale this AM!! You know what that means? I will be looking for vintage Christmas decorations!!!

I hope you found some great stuff! There is nothing like buying decorations and having the excuse to gaze at them before the holiday season :]

We're getting close to having 9,000 members!

Yay! That is such a huge number. I bet we'll get a ton more as it nears closer to Christmas.

Good afternoon, MMC!

How are you all today??

I've been busy doing laundry, bedding, etc... Joy!!

I mowed the grass early, before the heat came. And trimmed the Star Jasmine & Rosemary out back.

Har & I decided to take a break, so we went for a car ride by the mountains. It was fun!

Going to lay down for a bit now, and throw a Christmas movie in.

Enjoy the rest of your day!!

The car ride sounds like a lot of fun! Sometimes it is so relaxing to get out and just go for a drive. What Christmas movie did you end up watching? I was thinking of getting one out tonight!

Good evening, everyone! Hope you're all enjoying your night! It's been a great night for me and my family. We night to mass and then out to eat, then we went back to my parents. My parents surprised me with a birthday cake and presents. What a wonderful family I have!

I'm just relaxing now with DH on the couch. I'm not sure what we have in store for tomorrow, but I think we will bake muffins now in the am because of Made's tempations! I know tomorrow evening we will be going to my in-laws and then I go back to work tomorrow night at 11.

Alright, I will talk to you all in the morning with a coffee to enjoy. Keep smiling!

It sounds like you had a fantastic time with your family. I am glad that you enjoyed your birthday! Everyone made it so special for you. Baking muffins sounds delicious, send me one :] Don't work too hard!

Here we go it is April 29th...and I am watching my first Christmas Movie of the year!!!

Hope you are feeling all better and rested up from your busy night! I actually prefer the weather when it is sunny but cooler. I hate being too warm. I am glad you enjoyed your night!

morn'in ya'll! been hanging out w/ hubby & daughter this weekend.
daughter ended up staying home this weekend, shocker!
hubby & i went out friday night & it was nice, dinner & a movie. we went to see Act of Valor, very good movie. i burned up the whole time- old theater.
spent the day being lazy yesterday, i'm doing that alot lately.
hubby leaves this afternoon, i'm gonna miss him. he will be back on friday only to leave out again the following monday. oh well, gotta make a living huh?

i have to work on Monday, that's usually my day off but 1 of the girls is on vacation so i'll be covering for her.

cm3, i am truly sorry for your loss.
seawaters, good to hear your blood tests were good. you'll be able to break out those pretty wigs you got!

gonna spend the day watching movies w/ my daughter & doing our toesies. gotta keep them thangs ready for flip flops!! lol

That reminds me, I totally need to give myself a pedicure. I am addicted to buying nail polishes and then I never end up using them! I never get a good pedi around here so I have to do it myself. Glad you had a good time with dinner and the movie!

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be another cool day here with just a slight chance of rain. I'll be heading to church here soon and then I'm going to run to sam's club with my aunt to stock up on a few things. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It always sounds like it is rainy there! Sam's Club is one of my favorites - I love when they have samples! I think they are actually doing the spring sampling here this weekend. Get anything good?

Good Morning, Christmas family

It is sunny here in Ohio but a little chilly still. So far the weekend has been pretty nice, other than Friday, of course. In just a few hours we will be taking Hermione to her puppy class. Last week they took pictures of anyone's pup who wanted them for free and had the pups wear a graduation cap with a toy that looked like a diploma in front of them. Of course, we had Hermione's pic taken. I don't know how well it will turn out as she was just extremely wigly as she always is. during the photo session but I think the photographer may have gotten her. We will see when the proofs become available.

The house is just a little emptier than it was without Ivy. I am so used to her being with her "brother" Wishbone looking out the window at this time of day or sleeping on the back ot fhe loveseat. I could not seem to fit exercise in while I was working 1-9 every afternoon. Maybe I will be able to again now that I will be on days again.

CAH you have been on my mind so much these past few days. I know what you are going through having lost both brothers and my first husband prematurely and I feel so much for you. I am praying for comfort for your family.

As for me, I know we did the right thing even though it was a hard thing.

Ivy was always the "alpha" dog here (other than me of course) and even though she only weighed 12 pounds, everyone else took heed when she would "speak". If she didn't like something she would nip her siblings in order to tell them to back off.....she was not vicious though, she just didn't take any stuff from anyone.

I don't know why but death or loss always leaves me feeling so exhausted. I have been sleeping lots these past few days and still when I am awake I have a very lethargic feeling. Not very motivated to do anything, except of course, eat. I am compensating with foord right now and I know I shouldn't be but that is a conscious choice on my part. Once I get established in my new job which starts this week I plan on trying to return to my diet and begin exercising.

I know that God loves all his creatures and I also know if people go to heaven dogs and cats and animals all certainly do. They are completely innocent and not guilty of anything except wanting to give unconditional love to their people. I never considered myself Ivy's master nor do I think of myself that way with any of my furkids. I am their caretaker, their pet parent. Not someone who "owns" them. How can you "own" a living being anyway ??

For the first time since Ivy passed I looked at the Hallmark Dream Book yesterday and picked out ornaments I want this year. I know I will see Ivy again as I hope I see all my furkids I have lost and I am looking foward to holding my "little bean" again......

I am so sorry about Ivy's passing. I hope that you will be able to feel better each day. At least Ivy is not in any pain or discomfort. I hope that Hermione does well in puppy class!

Dinner sounds delicious! I am not much of a mushroom fan but even I think it sounds yummy. Let me know how it is! I will keep praying for you! I also hope that this project goes well and smoothly for you :]

Hello MMC friends! Hope you all are having a great Sunday! I almost watched A Christmas Story last night but ended up being too tired and just fell asleep. I was thinking yesterday about how much I miss my Christmas tree and all the lights...I am so tempted to get out my little tree and set it up for a few days! Would that be crazy!?! Haha!

It needs to be Christmas in July already! :wiggy:

That will give you an excuse to watch the movie today of course! I miss looking at my tree, too. I think of it all of the time while I am watching my evening shows. Nope, that would not be crazy! Normal if you ask me!

Sunny Sunday! ☼

I'll be praying that your chemo goes smoothly this week.

Instead of a wig, you should get a temporary tattoo of this

Getting ready to head to my in-laws for the evening,

Your leaving???? I just got here.
