Christmas Countdown - 2012

I pulled a Fred Sanford - Grabbed my chest, staggered backwards and said "It's the big one".......:lol:

"Elizabeth! I comin' to join you, honey!" :lol:

That's the way it used to be, Pop, now adays they give you one of them needles and you don't even know what hit you.

Another quick update on Snow in Texas. Everything is still looking good this morning and he should be headed home anytime now.

Wonderful news! Thanks, Made.

Quick hello from Tapatalk---still can't log on at the office.

That has happened to me too, MerryCarey. It usually fixes itself with in a few days. Good luck, sometimes that's where we need a Christmas pick-me-up the most :grin:

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

We had our June council meeting last night. Everytime I think it'll be a short meeting, it runs for 3 hours. I like to kid and joke about being mayor, but sometimes, even in a small town like Bellville, there are required duties which are not very enjoyable. We have a couple water customers that haven't paid their water bill in several months. We've tried to give them the benefit of doubt, and we've talked to them to no avail. We had to order their water cut off. I don't like doing that, but I know the people in question. It's not like they can't afford $20 a month for city water. They just don't make it a priority. They're about to, though. Paying the water bill to the city may not seem important, but when the city stops service, it will be. I hate it, but it's not fair to all the other citizens who pay the bill. Oh well.

That must be hard, but you're such a nice guy & went out of your way to talk with them prior...they had their chance & should've paid...They will now, I'm sure.
Bellville is lucky to have you as Mayor, Brad!

Tomorrow is Nancy's birthday, so I'm going with them to Jacob's regularly scheduled guitar lesson this afternoon. While we're in Statesboro, Elizabeth and I will "sneak" away to get Nancy's present. Then we'll take her out to eat tomorrow night.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Happy early Birthday to Nancy!! =)

It is the least we can do since we are always in your prayers, too. Keep up your strength (both physical and spiritual) and keep us informed. We love you both!!!

For those of you that don't already know Snow-in-Texas has been in the hospital since Saturday with an irregular heart beat. The blood tests have all come back okay but his heart hasn't returned to the normal rhythm yet. I just heard from Christmas-A-Holic and she said if it doesn't return to the normal rhythm today they will put him to sleep and shock it back. She was hoping everyone could say a prayer for him or keep him in their thoughts today.

Good afternoon, MMC!

The beautiful, sunshine-filled day is no more - now it is grey and cloudy out. I'm glad I got my errands done while the sun was still out - so nice to be out and about then! Stopped off at the local mission store and I found 2 Christmas books: Mrs. Miracle and A Christmas Wedding. I'm looking forward to reading them.

Work beckons, so I will wish all of you a MERRY day!!

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a great day and will enjoy your evening as well. I love it here in Myrtle Beach! The kids love it too, so that makes it 100 times better for me. I have been already snatching lots of pictures.
DH and DS are taking a nap, so EA and I are sitting out on the deck, watching the ocean - it's so wonderful and relaxing! I am loving every moment of it! After the naps are finished, we're going to get dinner.
Tonight, there will be fireworks and I know EA will love that too.
Well, I am going to read some of the Countdown until naptime is over! Talk to you guys soon and hope all is well!

sounds wonderful!

Good evening!

 

[Christmasstar]

I'm tired and blue and ready to relax. It's been another chilly (below 60F), dark, gray, damp day. I'm beginning to believe we had our June in March, and now we have to have our March in June. Gimme some summer weather!

I know what you mean, I have had a big problem with the blues lately. Lack of work and problems where I do work. Hanging out here helps me feel better.
:merry:

A quick update on Snow in Texas. They gave him a little shock earlier and now his heart is back in rhythm. He doesn't get to come home yet though. He has to stay again tonight just to make sure that it doesn't happen again.

that is great news!
:thumbsup:

 

[Christmasstar]

Miss Inconsistent here! I feel bad that I haven't been around in so long. Still...Christmas is ALWAYS in my heart! Thinking about all of you!

is that the same as miss congeniality?

I missed you, nice to see you back again.

Good evening,

Today was just a miserable, awful day at work. My boss accused me of not doing something I was suppose to over the weekend, when I did it once on Friday and once on Saturday, and had one of my employees also do it on Saturday. I was so ticked off because I actually did someone elses job to get my job done on Saturday, she threatened to write me up after that. I did my job to the best of my ability on an extremely busy day while shorthanded. I always get my work done. Sometimes they want blood from a stone, I didn't talk to her the rest of my shift and I got more done than anyone asked for today. A much needed day off tomorrow. I don't have much planned for my off day. The Kings won again tonight, one more win from the Cup for them.

Have a good night!

I have met a few boss's like that!

LOL, that was my first thought too!!

I wonder how much they spend on bottled water? LOL

Happy birthday to Nancy

Good morning,

Shipped the kids off to school and daycare, I think I may tackle cleaning out there rooms, getting rid of stuff they don't use anymore while they are not here is so much easier. First though I am watching "The Muppets" it came on our Netflix, my kids hate the Muppets (what is wrong with them), and my wife didn't want to watch it. I love the Muppets so I will watch it.
Not much more going on here today.

Have a good day!

I love the Muppet's, we watched the Muppet show every week!

I cleaned the kids rooms when they were not at home once in awhile. I would put half their toys away in a box, they usually did not miss them. Then in 6 months I would put away the ones they were playing with and put out the ones in the box. They got all excited thinking they now had new toys!

Well I couldn't find any info on Shopnbc's and HSN's CIJ yet. So I e-mailed their customer service reps and asked when they will be. I don't hold much hope though. Last year I tried the same thing and they just told me to wait until their schedule's are posted.
