Christmas Countdown - 2013

[made582]

Xmas- I hope you feel better soon!!!!

 

[made582]

Coach- What did you think of the race yesterday? I think goodyear needs to bring some softer tires. At least JR managed to pull off a 5th place finish. So 2 top 5's to start the season. Not Bad.

I think Clancy will be okay. Her breath has been kind of funky lately, sort of like Wishy's and I just want to make SURE she is okay. I am so glad Adrian is back home........I can rest easier now.......((((Hugs)))) to you, Adrian and Harlowe Jean xo

Let us know how her appointment goes!

And thanks, I'm glad too! Maybe I can get a good night's sleep and not worry about every little noise

Good Tuesday morning mmc! We are under a wind advisory today,should be cloudy and mild..sounds good I guess. We may get a shower or two. Not much to report here except I am having a rather bad case of PCB's I never get them in march usually not even in Feb,but this year has been weird. BTW we go to Utah in 2 weeks..we are going to fly and I am scared to take to babies,but we really have no choice. I hope they don't cry the whole flight!!! We were going to drive but 30 hours in a car with 2 infants I would imagine would be pure hell. But anyways we found a dog sitter who we really trust and who the dogs feel comfy with,so she will stay at our house.. Other than that not much going on. I hear the southeast Mts may get more snow tonight and tomorrow. I love hearing about march snows in the south..so rare nowadays! Have a great day everyone!

New York city is no more than an hour away from me. Not a bad ride. My daughter and her friends just drove in this past weekend and walked around Times Square. Its a lot of fun.
Thanks to everyone that sent get well wishes for my daughter, looks like she will be heading back to school tomorrow.
Goodnight everyone!

So glad your daughter is feeling better. Nothing quite so distressing as sickness in the family. I forgot to say welcome to the Christmas Family !!!! xo (((HUGS))) xo

Hope Clancy is ok, and that her appointment goes well!! xo

We are expecting 4-8 inches, ice, possible power outages, etc. Just depends what news outlet you read...frustrating...

Adrian just got home from Nebraska, and was calling me often to check on MN & WI roads. Glad he's home safe and that w/ the exception of shoveling, we don't have to worry too much about it.

Stay safe out there, guys!!

I hope you guys stay safe, warm and off the roads! Please be careful with that ice, snow is one thing, but that ice... ugggh, it's not good; I don't want to see you falling again.

I have been glued to the TV and internet watching the tracking and the predictions of snow amounts for this impending storm/ Noreaster that is supposed to form as it nears the East coast. Seems for me/ my location, As things stand at this very present moment in time, I'm right on the line from getting anywhere's from 8"-18" of wet heavy snow starting late tonight as rain and then turning all to snow.:dance:

I'm holding my breath and not counting my chickens until they hatch, because as you all know, I've been wanting a snow storm all winter long and now hopefully we may, and I emphasize may, finally get one. I'm going to have to get home at a good time today and get the snow blower all ready in the garage and get some gas in the gas can. I got the boys at home today, bringing some extra wood around the house to place it on the front proch, for the fireplace.laying:

This could possibly be one of those really heavy, wet/ slushy snow events.... I'm all excited, I'm starting to feel like a little kid on Christmas eve right now, but I'm trying real hard not to get my hopes up too soon, because this storm is to hard to tell exactly who's going to get what; 50 miles in either direction could mean the difference in getting all rain vs. getting 24" of snow.... Snow baby snow!:

we watched "The Bible" last night. I thought it was very good. did anyone else here watch it? if so, what did you think?

We liked it....but I still can't wait for The 10 Commandments

Ah, it was ok. Agree on the tire part. The top 5's are great. I just want some wins! But you know, considering where we were three and four years ago, I will take it!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's been a cold weekend, and it's still cold today, but we should be in the low 70's by next weekend. I get to ride in the Rattlesnake and Wildlife Festival parade this Saturday, representing the City of Bellville. That's always fun. None of the council members ever want to join me, so Bernie rides with me, since he's Bellville's most famous resident. My son usually rides, too, but he's working at the festival this year.

Oh Man, I thought for a minute that you were going to say your going to be in a rattlesanke round-up; lol! That is one thing that I always wanted to try and that is fried rattlesnake. I had my first bite of gator the last time I went to Florida (Orlando - Gatorland), and I loved it! So, next on my list is rattlesnake, anything that they say taste just like chicken, I'm all over it like a wet cheap suit....lol

Good Morning, Happy Harbingers of Hysterical Holiday Hilarity.

And what's really hilarious is the proximity of our next Milestone:
Days to the Season: 253
Days to Christmas Day: 295
As of TOMORROW, we will be down to SINGLE DIGITS to Milestone #4, the one-third Season point.
Mark your calendars!

Continued cold here in the capital city. No relief predicted until the weekend.
We stand just below 37 degrees here at this hour.

OK, Friends. A Terrific Tuesday can be yours.
Set your mental dial to the Holiday Season channel, adjust your antenna, sit back and just let it happen!

Good evening,

Still feeling crappy, I have a Dr. appointment tomorrow to get this cough checked out. I have a ton of errands to do also, including picking up "Wreck It Ralph" on DVD, I can honestly say that was the best movie I saw in 2012. I can't wait to add it to our collection.
I hope everyone had a great day, I am making pot roast for dinner tomorrow night, you are all welcome to come for dinner and a movie.


Good night everyone!

awww, that sucks. If you do a google search on "curing the common cold" it will give you 1,610,000 results to go through. If you read it all it will cure your cold only because it will take that long to read it all.

Hope you feel better soon.

we set up a forcefield around here so that it will not head up, we have enough snow now to last until the end of June!

traveling with kids is fun, I usually loved it! Check online for advice about flying with the little ones, it has been awhile since mine were that size. One thing I do know is have them drinking a bottle or nursing when the plane takes off and lands, helps to keep thier ears from poping

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
woke to a chilly chilly sunrise, -12c (10f)
But, the sun is out and it looks beautiful.

Good Morning MMC!!!!! Well the snow is almost here and there still isn't very much agreement on how much snow we are going to get. Most of the stations are saying 3 to 5 inches but the people I trust the most are saying 5 to 9. So I'm hoping for 3 and preparing for 9. At least if we get 9 inches we will hit our normal winter snowfall total. We just normally get it over about 12 different snowfalls. Not 2 like this year. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Good morning!
Just walked Molly and Maggie. It's sunny but chilly today. We are watching a storm for Wednesday into Thursday. Still not sure if its going to be rain or all snow, they will know more within the next 24 hours. I'm heading out to the supermarket for a few things after I finish my coffee. Dinner tonight will be chicken cacciatore, yum! Also need to go the DMV with my daughter when she gets home from school, not my favorite place to go.
Hope everyone has a great day!

My grandma had a set of Childcraft books and I loved them! She also had World Books that I enjoyed reading in. Kind of sad...the Internet has made some of those types of books go the way of the buffalo.

I got a globe one year, too. But the best were those encyclopedias and they came right at the start of school the year before I started. So I had a lot of time for reading! The thing about Childcraft were the books were geared to children. I think I left some in my classroom. If I recall, didn't they have a book on crafts, too? I think I will check those out and make sure that if the new teacher does not want them, she lets me know.

Mom threw away the World Books because they are out of date, but I kept the ChildCraft books with me! They are packed up at my house. They do have a book with crafts in it & some party games too. My dad helped me with crafts & we played those party games at my 10th birthday party.

I listened to Christmas music on the way to work today. I need to decorate the house for Easter, but I feel like I can't even tread water with the housework at this point. I'll try not to stress about it & just do what I feel like doing. We are clean, fed, & clothed. Don't need much more than that.
