Christmas Countdown - 2012

[sugar142286]

O my brother came down yesterday morning just as i was about to leave for car boot sale and was telling me. that his wife(the one that got head butted the week befour) was drunk on satuday and she ended up saying to the son and daughter.. i wish you 2 had died at birth
You can imagine what i said to that..then the daughter phoned me to tell me as well and she is taking it really bad.. what a thing for any mother to say to her kids .. this woman needs to get sorted . or my brother needs to wish up !!!!!

anyway....

Those poor kids and your poor brother! I can't imagine. Why would she say something like that? I hope someone see's the light, just as you said...

I am SO ready to be back here! It's been awhile!!!

I wanted to thank everyone for their kind wishes on here and in private messages I received regarding the passing of my uncle. I will miss my uncle and I will miss Christmas Eve over there, a tradition that has been going on for over 30 years. Our family has been so busy and still have some matters to settle with my uncle's house. It has been a sad time but we are a strong family and we will get through it!

The family gave me all my uncle's Christmas decorations. They know how much I love Christmas!

Time to move forward like my uncle would have wanted it!

I am ready to countdown the days until Christmas in July and Christmas! cheesy

So glad to hear from you! We've been missing you and glad you're back, too. You will continue to be in my prayers, as I know it will be a long and continue process for you and your family.

That was so great of everyone to give all of the Christmas decorations to you! cheesy

I need to desperately catch up on posts, but first I wanted to ask to those who pray to please keep my friend and her mother in your thoughts and prayers. My friend lost her grandma less than a week ago and her father died this morning. I can only imagine what she and her mother are going through. Her mom lost her mother and her husband within days of one another. Thank you!

Prayers going out to them. I can't imagine what they're going through.

I cannot believe we are into May...I kept it quiet but the Mrs. and I just returned from a cruise to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary that took us to the Mediteranean and a few other stops in Europe. It was a dream trip and one that I will never, ever forget...In each city, I look for signs of Christmas...I found them, all over...From a Christmas tree carved from stone in Barcelona, to small Pinochio ornaments in Florence, to nativity scene postcards in Rome. Christmas was well repesented in the cities and within me. My iPod is chock full of Christmas songs all year long but I have to tell you that sitting on the balcony of our cabin, smoking a cuban cigar and listening to Christmas music as the sun sets is just about the finest hour a man can have, at least this man. I thought of this site, and the good folks here...RadioJon, Binger, Crown, Jeff Westover, Maureen, Auntie Mistletoe, folks I've literally known for many, many years now...Life is good folks, especially when you stop in your tracks, look around and says thanks!

hey ya'll! wow i have missed you guys sooo much! 3 days & i couldn't stand it any longer. hubby arrived home on friday & we pretty much didn't leave each others side all weekend. well the fact that we had so much going on w/ this house & property of ours had alot to do w/ that.....

yeap, i was @ work on saturday morning & my son came in (he works there on fri. & sat.) & said that SEWAGE HAD BACKED UP IN OUR TUBS, SHOWERS, & TOILETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my goodness, what a mess i came home to. hubby & sons had to dig forever to find the tanks outside & i had to wait for that to get fixed before i could start clean up since we had no water. we have a pumpstation, tried to get a septic tank when we bought this property but DHEC wouldn't let us. this has never happened although we've had lots of problems w/ it. turns out the drain was clogged. URGHHHHHH!#%@#@!!*)%@#!@%&*
spent saturday & sunday cleaning...thoroughly cleaning!!!

anyhoo, did i tell ya'll how much i missed ya'll? in the little bit of down time i had, i tried to hang w/ hubby instead of getting on the computer. i know ya'll understand. i kept trying to be positive, i told hubby 100x how good it was that he was here when it happened because i would have called a plumber & been charged an arm & a leg.

hubby stopped off @ the Duty Free store in Canada on his way back home & got me a Niagara Falls T & himself some Captain Morgan spiced rum really cheap. i love a good deal. he left out again this morning for Pittsburgh & will be back on Friday. that should be it for his travels for a bit so it will be nice having him home again.

this week is Mother's Day week everybody!!!!! don't forget! this is our 2nd busiest holiday @ the flower shop. valentine's day is #1. we got the majority of our fresh flowers in today & we had to cut, process, & put up about 50 boxes. talk about overwhelming.

sorry if i went on a bit too much. just like family, i tend to go on & on w/ ya'll! but it's just cause i love ya'll so much!!

glad you're back CAH, i had you & your family in my prayers.

love, hugs, & smiles!!!!:merry:

Sorry to hear that you had such a mess, but glad you got it all figured out now! Glad your hubby got home all safe sound and hope this trip goes well for him. Praying for safe travels back on Friday!

Good evening,

Another busy day at work, tomorrow I am looking at probably a 12 hour day, but I talked to my boss and he understood my point about the fact that everyone else was offered a 3 day weekend except myself and another guy, so he granted me a 3 day weekend, he felt it was fair to do that, I thanked him over and over. So I have Friday, Sat. and Sun. off. I just watched 2 Christmas episodes of Married With Children, so wrong but so funny. I better get ready for some zzzzzzz.

Good night Christmas bunch!

That was very nice of your boss!

Good Morning all!

I slept 10 hours last night. I sure did need it because I haven't slept well lately.

My granddaughter is here and I think we will listen to some Christmas music today!

I am ready for the Greasy Skillet Show this Saturday! I hope you all can join in. The information on the time and link is in my signature.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmasy Day! :!!

glad you got some much needed rest last night. do you know the last 2 saturdays i've planned to listen to the greasy skillet &, wouldn't ya' know it, a mess always arises. have fun w/ your grand!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Boy, we got some more good rain last night. I had to run with an umbrella to my city council meeting last night. It was another good meeting. We've really been blessed with a council that gets along good together, with no personal agendas or grudges. The Claxton city council and the county commission are rife with back-biting and personal gain efforts.

I think my brother, my son and I are going to see The Avengers tonight! I've been looking forward to this movie for a year and a half. As a matter of fact, there are several good movies out this year...then STAR TREK again next year!!!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

my son & his fiance went last friday. they said it was awesome. hope ya'll enjoy it!!

Good Tuesday morning everyone!

Just sitting here on break at work. Having a coffee. Irish cream. Woo! Keeping my peepers out for Christmas stuff at the stores to take pictures of. Nothing yet. But I'm sure Ill see something sooner or later. Big news! William (3 years old) decided to use the potty! He asked when we were at a friends house and just went. We are so proud of him! Now back to your regular scheduled Christmas music. lol. Speaking of that, well not really, I saw Ernest Scared Stupid in the bargin bin for 5 dollars at walmart. Love that movie. Love Ernest Saves Christmas too! ahhh the Christmas season. Cant wait! Hope you all have a great day! I'm fired up for the Pines tomorrow!

woop wooop, way to go William!!!! i like the Ernest movies too undrtakr.

Baking this morning. So far I have cardamom cookie dough chilling. On to chocolate cookies and then blackberry sandwich cookies. The cardamom smells so good!!!!

yummy, i wish i had the energy or the ingredients for stuff like that. it never fails, i never have half of what's needed for recipes. bummer

Good evening,

Very long day today, 11.5 hours at work, everything got done though. I am quite tired tonight.

Have a good night!

 

[sugar142286]

I think I'm having sympathy pains for my niece because my knee is killing me or it could be that I missed a step on the step stool earlier and twisted it.

Hope you feel better! Anything new on your niece?

 

[sugar142286]

Hope you have a nice day of you so deserve it

I had a really nice day! Thanks!
