Christmas Countdown - 2012

[jennifer91]

good evening everyone!!!:razz:

i am getting oober excited about Christmas!! i wasn't like this last year. i mean i was but not this soon & it seemed to be more of a chore to decorate & this year i'm getting all kinds of new ideas to do around the house!! yippee!

my rents are back from my sister's @ the beach. house & dog sitting again as sis *& b-i-l went on a cruise. i really missed them this time. i do every time though. my daddy came back w/ a cough. i worry so much about him. he had this same cough last month & here it is again. my daddy's 80 but acts like a 60 yr. old. usually full of energy. he's got some Mucinex he's taking but he has heart & blood pressure issues so he won't take anything else. i'll keep a tight watch on him. please keep him in your prayers.

my mama is well. she's the cutest little thing. she asked me to take her to an appt. on Monday so i'm going. she & my daddy worked in the textile mills here in our tiny town for years. it was discovered in the last several years that aspestos (spelling?) was all over everything they used. long story short my mama has some lung issues from it. she has a specialist she goes to. my mama is 76 & runs circles around me any day!!!!! this appt. is to discuss some breathing issues she has @ times. lordy lordy, don't know what i would ever do w/out them!!!!!!!

jennifer91, where are you vacationing?

cm3, were you able to try Pinterest yet? i want to "follow" you when you do so let me know, k?

Binger & made, you guys have gotta be tired after that long day of QVC?

we are having leftover chili tonight so yaay-mama ain't gotta cook! woo hoo. i just love those small blessings.

You know what?! Same here about my excitement this year. I always love Christmas, but this year I am SO excited x892377612736186. Last year I remember I was tired of carrying all of the boxes upstairs to decorate. This year I will carry them all myself and decorate alone if I have to! Luckily for me, my mom is really excited too. And my brother gets into Christmas. I will definitely keep your dad in my prayers. I hope everything is okay with him and that it is nothing. Just keep watching out for him. My pap is 87 and acts in his 60's as well and will never admit when something is bothering him. I know the feeling! Your mom sounds amazing. I hope her appointment goes well - I will pray for her too. I am going to Disney World! Sad to leave home because I do love my home but then again I am excited! Send me some chili, yum!

Good evening, MMC!

It has been a long, long day! I have been up since 4:30 this morning and my energy is starting to go. I guess I should have protested when QVC was turned off in favor of a Halloween movie ~ I could have used several more glitter shots :lol:

Yep, the typos are coming fast and furious ~ time to call it a night!

MERRY dreams!!!

:hi:

 

[caninemom3]

Uh, oh! CM3 will take that one!

Awwwww !!!!!! I copied this picture, that okay ???? xo

 

[caninemom3]

Thank you, it's looking better than yesterday. The arrangements for FIL are settled, and he'll be laid to rest on Friday. And the cable guys came today to resolve the constantly dropping Internet (installed Saturday, dropped the signal about eight or ten times since), so I have my fingers crossed that the cable modem will stay online now. They replaced the signal splitter and a connecting cable with a loose collar, and checked the main cable as far as they could go without getting into the wall. (Why couldn't the installer have done all that Saturday---??) Fingers crossed.

Hope the cable is fixed for you xo

My thoughts and prayers are still with all of you. Fingers crossed that there will be no more problems with the cable!

So far it's great ... And the Internet connection is really zippy now!

So far it's great ... And the Internet connection is really zippy now!

Today was our big day where we switch from one provider to another for our Internet, cable and telephone services. The install seems to have went pretty smooth overall, but we had a glitch with the TV programming vs what they were going to billing us.

After I made few phone calls over the period of two hours, and me telling them I was going to cancel, I finially got a hold of the manager and then, Miraculously; they resolved the problem and as a "I'm sorry" gesture, they gave us the Encore and Starz channels for two years for free. We also got a 200.00 gift card for siwitching providers and 50% off of Epic's for two years as well - Overall, not too bad for a little haggling...

So here I am up and running and I'm liking it so far, right now, I am considering myself lucky and counting my blessings!

Good evening, Christmas family

I am on my way to bed. I am super, super tired tonight. I am a little worried about my Hermione. The right side of her face is all swollen up. She is not acting sick. She is breathing just fine, playing normally, eating normally but that side of her face is REALLY swollen. I looked in her mouth, no sores, no tenderness. I can't figure it out. I am going to see if it resolves in the next day or so and if not, to the doctor she goes.

MerryCarey, thinking of you and Mr. xoxo

Take care, Christmas family xo Big ((HUGS)) to all but ESPECIALLY TO:

Good for you for sticking to your guns and getting what was due you! We've had cable TV with this company for years, and just added on Internet. Our phone service is still separate. Hope your service is great and stays that way!

Gorgeous photo. You are right about that sky! What are some of the titles you picked up?

I forgot to say that we went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday.

Look at that blue sky! It was an absolutely gorgeous day. We came home with 1 80-pound pumpkin, 3 average size pumpkins, and 2 tiny white pumpkins. Plus 2 mums. We also went to the Unicorn bookstore, where I went nuts buying old Christmas books.

 

[Seawaters]

Hmmm. Now what ideas that he has could possibly be risky???

"Glittertastic", eh?
I'll run it by Carl.
(Or would that be risky? He might get ideas!)

 

[Seawaters]

It did go away, but now it is back. Maybe that will be my side effects from radiation!

I hope your headache is gone ~ I am still praying for you!

 

[Seawaters]

The thunderstorm never did materialize! Just a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of rain!

Saw there was a tornado in Northern California, I hope you were safe today

 

[Seawaters]

I am and will be praying for Hermione! Maybe she bumped herself or something gave her a little bit of a reaction. I hope it'll be gone by the morning so you don't have to take her to the doctor. Let us know how she is tomorrow.

 

[Seawaters]

Even reading this in the early evening, it is still funny!!!

no that was a glitter paragraph... gulp the pot.,,..

 

[Seawaters]

Funny, Meceka!

If the lights were smaller and there were more of them, the tree wouldn't look bad from a long way away.
