Brad, Merrymistletoe and xmas365, Every once in awhile someone will say to me, "where did you get that accent from, I can't figure it out?"
Here I am in Maryland and sometime back, I went to visit a friend in Toledo Ohio and his friends asked me "where are you from Georgia?" lol... (true story!!!)
I'm a mix of Baltimore (ok, ok, I know Brad, techinically, it is below the Mason Dixon line, lol), also, a slang from being raised on a farm by my grandparents and a Virginia accent from my stay in LittleCreek Virginia for 6 years....
Just add a couple of beers to the mix, and look out here it comes out....my wife say's at times, she thinks she married the biggest redneck in Perry Hall, Maryland...lol... I just had to poke some fun at myself!

Good Night Star, xoxo
Thank you, my dear xo I am awake after a few hours sleep and it is 1:11 a.m. here. I am not so sad and upset as I was when I originally posted so I do feel better (((HUGS))) to you xo
I had dinner with a good friend tonight. I took this picture as he was leaving.
This is AMAZING !!!!! xo
Good morning, Christmas family !!
It is just 1:16 a.m. here but since I went to bed at 9:00 I am now awake.
Sorry about such a negative post earlier. There are some things going on and it all just gets so overwhelming. MY husband spoke with PERS, where his retirement is through, and they again confirm that I am being cut from the health insurance as of January 2014 AND he is going to have to pay more for his too. We cannot afford both out of his pension and he doesn't want me to drop my insurance. I am going to have to for the sake of surviving. I know it is a year away but a year goes so FAST. Not having a plan in place is very scary especially since I am considered to have a pre-existing condition (asthma).
On top of the above, my sister's little dog, Emily who is the sweetest little girl is in the hospital with a problem with her neck. It could be serious and I am so frightened. I love her like my own and my sister and Wes have been through so much with Wes having had a second heart attack this past year.
I also found out that work is likely to be VERY skimpy next week, which I sort of figured. Having done this job for a while it is common sense to figure a lack of work when everyone is on vacation as many doctors offices often are. It is just one more thing on top of all the rest that is worrying me.
However, when I woke up few moments ago I turned on AMC and lo and behold, A Christmas Carol is on and it is the version I used to watch with my dear parents and family when I was growing up !!!! It is the 1938 version with Reginald Owen. It brings back so many memories and watching it is like visiting with an old friend. The appearance of Jacob Marley used to terrify me in this movie but My mother and my sister would always hover closer to me when we were watching and that made it okay......When I was older of course I figured out that this is just a movie and ghosts don't usually appear like this ! (Yes, I believe in ghosts, i.e., spirits)
Anyway, sorry I was so grumpy earlier. If you could all say a prayer for little Emily I would really appreciate it.
Have a great and wonderful evening/morning, dear Christmas family. You are all wonderful and I love you all xo

CHRISTMAS SEASON DAY #36
Good Morning!
And there you have it, Folks -- down to the final week!
Days to Christmas Day: 7 (ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!)
Fifty-two down to one.
Incredible!
Looks like we are in for a temporary warm spell that should last for 3 days.
(Best to enjoy it while I can and get that outside work done before chilly weather returns for Friday!)
We stand at 54 damp degrees here, currently.
And as you contemplate and reflect on the nearness of Christmas while moving into the last week, be sure and have a Terrific Tuesday Today, OK?
P.S. Take a look at the Blossoms thread. There have been quite a number of really nice photos added by several of our illustrious members.
Check them out.....and be inspired!

Good morning, MMC!
Happy one week until Christmas day!!!!
This is going to sound weird, but I am really sad! I feel like the weeks since Thanksgiving have flown by and I just want to enjoy the Christmas season more! College and work has kept me so busy during the week that I don't think I watched nearly as much movies as last year. Plus, with my finals being so late this year, I have no time to bake Christmas cookies. I usually bake this week and some of the last week, but since I have been studying so much I haven't had a chance. This year Christmas is approaching faster than ever. I feel like I close my eyes and a week has passed! I get the major Christmas blues on the 26th, so I don't want it to come this quickly and then be over!
Anyways - I have to leave to go take my first final this morning. I had one online this weekend and I did reallly well (96%) but I needed a 98% to get an A in the class. I missed an A in the class by two measly points and I am so disappointed in myself. Teachers of course won't bump you either because if they do it for you, they have to do it for everyone else. That's fine because my grade is all on me at the end of the day.
I hope you all have a good day at work/school/home, wherever you may be. Drive safe if you're on the roads! It has been non-stop rainy since last night so I dread driving to college.
Talk to you all soon!

You should meet my niece...born in Korea, raised in Canada, lived in Austrailia for 6 years (grades 4 to 9) then moved to Vermont. She quite easily slips into a ausie accent and her talk is always laced with it and a Canadian slant too. She has fun with it sometimes!
