My 4 year old this minute... (Instagram)
And now Im taking him to bed!
I think I will join him for a little hour....
My headache is terrible and painkillers do not work!

Awww! I wish mine were still little! I miss those moments.... I hope your headache goes away....

 

[xmas365]

Aaaahhhh! A big day of nothing, I think the cats did more than me today. I will have to get the boys soon though. So dark and gloomy with the rain falling. Our company canceled for tonight, so I will have to do something different for dinner, I'm thinking crunchy onion chicken now.

Enjoy the rest of the day!!

He's so sweet!
I hope your headache is better VERY soon ... get some rest and quiet.

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Christmas is on the way!

Was just out at Crabtree to get some photos of the "A Christmas To Remember" store (still not yet open) while the crowds were small and the mall cops less attentive.

Thought I would walk through Sears, Macy's and Belks in the off chance they might have something up this early.
Would you believe!
Both Belks and Sears had their Christmas sections fully stocked up and ready for action!
And Macy's was in the process of setting up.

(Got some more photos for the Blossoms thread!)

This is exciting news! It's so great when the rest of the world catches up with us and starts looking toward Christmas.

Why does a day off work go SO much faster than a day at work??? :lol:

You know what they say: Time flies when you're having fun! I was wondering the reverse today---how long 20 minutes can be when you're in a business meeting! cheesy

Good rainy morning MMC! Looks like the rain is done here, but it came through overnight! We only have a high of 64 predicted for today! I'm heading out in about an hour with 2 neighbor ladies for a walk! Which means, I did end up taking the day off! The temptation was too great! I feel I am benefiting from this day off more than my brother Mike (I took off to celebrate his 1st heavenly birthday) but I could use a day off at home & why not today??? :smile: Speaking of...time to get the Christmas candles (or fall candles) burning & turn on some Christmas music! (Done!)

Seems like there was something else I wanted to ask or tell, but can't think of it now, so I'm going to start cleaning out a closet. Oh boy....

HAPPY 1ST HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY BIG BROTHER MIKE!!! WE MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!!

thinking of you today. i hope you had a nice day.

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It's going to be a dreary day here in central Indy with a high in upper 60's. I have some errands to run this morning and then it will be home to do some work around the apartment. I don't know how it got so dirty yesterday. I didn't do anything. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how's that kindle fire working?

If I met you, well I would faint..
So much bigger than any Prime Minister!

:lol::lol:

Not so good today.. Thanks for asking =]
But how are YOU feeling?? Im thinking about you!

hey solice, i'm very concerned about you. you've been sick for a very long time. have you been to the doctor?

I'm with you. Fall and winter are my favorite times of the year. I love cold weather. The six years we lived in Dallas really made me dislike summer.

ya' know, i've always been a summer person but now...i don't know if it's age, weight, or hormones but jeese i look sooo forward to fall now. i guess summer is made for younger, skinny, non-hormonal people!!! bahahahaha!

this is such a cute pic. love it.

Soon I will be leaving in the morning when it's dark, and coming home from work in the dark. I like the dark and cold though, so it's not that big a deal for me. I am an odd duck![/QUOTE]

Xmas, your not alone, as much as I like to garden in the spring and summer, there is something so relaxing and nice about the darker and cooler nights.

I don't know exactly what it is, maybe it's the welcome change from the summer heat, humidity and mosquitoes to the Fall that makes me just want to jump for joy this time of year. I feel like I have more energy, more things to look forward to like (Halloween, veterans day, Thanksgiving Day and of course Christmas) and in November, we have three birthdays that month to celebrate as well.

I kind of like it at times, when I drive back and forth to work in the dark (except, I'm skittish about the deer this time of year, the rut is coming in and the deer act like their crazy, running all over the place)!

just the other day i was riding in the evening & 1x i saw 4 deer crossing the road then just a few minutes later i saw 5 crossing the road in another area. be careful out there xmastidings!

wow...am i the only peep on here now? i think this is my 4th post in the last few minutes.

we had LOTS of rain here today & i don't think it's over yet. i just wish it would cool down a little. even in the 70's the humidity is so high it's yucky feeling.

work was slow so, i stood on my head. bahahaha, just seeing if y'all are paying attention. no, i ended up coming home early again.thinking about having bacon & pancakes for supper. daughter didn't sound very excited when i told her we were having pancakes. oh well, she can have hunters stew.

y'all have a good evening.

Did you ever get his car fixed?

 

[Spyells]

I wish it was raining where I am. This summer heat needs to go! xD

 

[made582]

how's that kindle fire working?

I love it expect for three things.

1) You can delete stuff from your carousel but the next time you turn it off and then back on, it's back.

2) There is no way to access the built in camera expect through skype.

3) I can live with the ads on the home screen but when you hold it in portrait mode it shows suggestions of things you might like based on what's in your carousel. They are annoying and there is no way to opt out of them. The only good thing is if you hold it in landscape mode they don't show up.

Okay, I gave up on my neighbors car. I put it back together and told him that we would work on it tomorrow once I had a chance to look for tips on how to get the old one off online.

congrats on your win!!!yummo. i agree w/ you about the unhappy people who fuss about Christmas.

Good evening, Christmas family...

Just stopping in before I go to bed. Getting up in the early morning is so much better for me but by this time at night I am totally whipped. Everyone is doing well including Wishbone still !! I have been reading my issue of Christmas Ideals 2012 and it is just beautiful as they always are. It supposed to be cooling down soon and hopefully it will stay that way..

Made - How do you like your Kindle fire ?? My Kindle Fire is not the HD version but I probably would not notice the difference anyway !!

For all who are going through bad times and who are sad please know that I always mention you one by one every night in prayer.....

(((HUGS))) to all but ESPECIALLY to:

Ella, Harlowe, Snowball, Gomez, Ophelia, Sidney, Alex, Merlin, Snickers, Victor, Daisy, Diva, Mickey, Palmer, Mouse, Bo, Chico, Meca, Alvin, Charlie, Gary, Bailey, Jerrold, Irving, Martha, Uncle Julio, Missy, Scooby, Sasha, Jacob, Cracker, Bunny B, Penny, Pocket, LuLu, Bear-Bear, Stripey, Holly, Fate Puppy (London,) Buster, Missy and all furkids everywhere xoxoo

Goodnight dear Christmas family xoxo
