Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Thanks to the MMC friends who discussed pickle juice as a cure for muscle cramps a couple of weeks ago. I had to try it out around 10:30 last night & it worked! I mentioned it to a co-worker & she had leg cramps last night, so she'll be taking your advice next time too!

I've raced through the first couple of months this year with few issues. I seem to be getting the blues just as spring should be around the corner. I listened to Christmas music on the way to work today; I think that's my first time this year. It seems that I am the hamster on the wheel when it comes to getting anything done at home. I'm holding steady but can't see any progress & it's frustrating. Oh well, that stuff will always be there, so I intend to enjoy life & work on things as I can.

Think happy Christmas thoughts! We're just a few months away...

Amen to that! I have more time to get things done now but when my kids were little I had a harder time getting "it all done"! I finally gave in and would do what I was able to get done, the kids helped me too! They are grown now and remember the good times we had, not "what chores mommy did when we were growing up". I didn't let stuff get out of hand but it was impossible to have everything perfect.

Enjoy yourself and rest when you can! Take care of yourself and I hope the blues leave you quickly!

I am also glad the pickle juice helped. I am waiting to try it too, luckily no leg cramps lately!

I'm sorry to hear that you have so much happening around you right now and that it is causing you to feel down. I'll keep them in my prayers.

1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

The key to this verse is that it says that god will create a way for you to escape. It doesn't say that you can do it on your own though. Sometimes it requires the help of others.

Basically what I'm saying is make sure that you aren't holding everything inside. Talk to your hubby or someone else about everything that is going on. It might help you make sense of what is going on. Sometimes though things just don't make sense and you just have to trust that there is some greater plan in place that we can't understand.

Beautiful verse & great advice, made.
You're a wonderful friend!

*gulp!*

I ain't man enough to try that!

Since we don't know if Binger is "man" enough to do that (gender neutral), Binger is just a super being who can drink all of that! :wink:

That made my week! My kids loved it too! EA said, "Mommy, he's such a good singer and dancer. Can we go see him some day?" Lol

That's good!!! I just read that it is equal to 3.6 grams of caffeine. People have died from just consuming 1 gram before.

Just took all my winter decorations down, since Easter is right around the corner. I want to be decorated for that for a little while. Spring, here we come!

I'd welcome spring right now!!!! Now they are calling for a quarter inch of ice instead of snow here tonight. Not fun at all.

Sounds like my lunch at work! We just eat when we can and stop when customers arrive.

that is what I will enjoy if I get this other job, actual uninterrupted breaks!

 

[Seawaters]

That would do it for me, too!!!

I'm wishing, really really wishing for some snow... Let's see, a good Noreaster would do right about now, and say dump about 5 feet of snow here... Yup, that would do it for me!laying:

The Lear is fired up for all who want to visit Holiday and have California pizza!

Sorry for the delay, but yes, I think you do need to come to Ohio to have a California pizza. I'm sure they aren't as good in CA! :lol:


MADE - keeping your Mom in my prayers! I hope they figure out what happened quickly & she has a complete recovery!


Happy Pines Day everyone! What crazy weather we have had this week. Monday I went to the lake, walked the bike path, grilled out for supper & by Tues morning it was so blasted cold & windy you couldn't stand to be outside more than a minute! Bone chilling! Gotta love Ohio! Today is miserably cold too! It has been snowing & blowing off & on all afternoon! Very pretty - from the inside, looking out!

Hope you are all doing great! See you at the Pines!!!!

Good afternoon, friends~

Hope you're all having a nice afternoon!

I am doing some reading in my course book @ contracts. Making me sleepy... But the subject is very necessary.

We are getting ready for the winter storm to hit. Hope they take care of the roads tomorrow morning before I have to leave for my appointments! Winter wonderland keeps playing in my head

I'm going to make a Mediterranean meal tonight, with rigatoni, steak, portobello mushrooms, and tomatoes. Sounds tasty! Love Bertoli. And I think we'll make a spinach salad, too. Just picked up some delicious cherry tomatoes!!

Stay warm & safe today!!

 

[Seawaters]

Brent- I hope the shot helps if you decide to do it.

CM3- Congratulations on the quiz!!

Seawaters- Guess what I had for dinner? Cracker Barrel!!! It was yummy!!!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

My daughter went with me to my brother's shop yesterday afternoon to unload the parts-Camaro I bought off of the rollback truck. Then we sorted through some of the parts that had already been removed from the car. She was a lot of help, and I was glad that she can say she's been a part of the project, too. I hope she'll do more with us on the car. She's more of a ballet/ballerina girly-girl, but she got greasy with me. She must really love her daddy!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

one of my girls loved to work on cars too. She still checks all the fluids for me.

Sounds like a full day for you! I envy your organization with meal planning, etc. despite your busy schedule.
Good for you!
I hope you don't get clobbered too bad with the snow being forecast for Wisconsin.

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

You beat me to it.


The dishes are waiting for you!!!

Well gee! I thought you had a nice comfy chair for me to sit in too and watch the races. You have a stack of newspapers I can read too???
