Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Christmasstar]

Good a.m. My MC peeps!:merry:

how the heck are ya?
I've been pretty busy between work & home.
xmas, I hope the extra rest helps you feel beeter!

claireloveschristmas, it's so good to see you again! hope all is well & don't work too hard sweety!

CM3, sorry you couldn't sleep last night. you were just excited about the good news from the vet yesterday, weren't you?

I hope everyone is safe & warm in the snow storm.

ya' know how I've told y'all my job isn't the greatest? (fyi, I'm a florist) here's a prime example of why; I will start by saying that I cannot handle anyone harming a child or elderly person or anyone who is defenseless. I take it very personally (I guess that's the right word??) & cannot get it out of my head. I have to make a casket piece today for a 5 YEAR OLD!! this child is gone due to the horrific acts of an adult! I am in mourning for this child, deeply. I will not go into detail about it on here. I try to keep a Christian attitude about it, but I am finding it almost impossible to NOT want harm to come to this person. I do not know this person personally. unfortunately, I learn of this type of news all too often in this business. we are usually the 2nd call made, 1st the funeral home then us. if you go to my FB, go to my likes, click on Lancaster funeral home, then obits, you will see this beautiful little girl's pic. I hope that doesn't sound morbid. the only comfort I find right now is knowing the authorities have the person in custody & the little girl is in Heaven now, probably w/ little angel wings.

I will apologize now for this post, as I am afraid this maybe too much for some. I am extremely close to so many of you & feel as though I can talk to y'all. FB is not the same for me. THIS is my family.
please pray for this family in their time of deep sorrow.


my love for each of you abounds & again please accept my apologies for such a grim post.:merry:

she was a cutie, so very sad that anyone would want to hurt a small child. My prayers are with the mom as she deals with this.

Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a great Thursday. My son has strep throat and tomorrow is his birthday. He was sick last year on his birthday and had to cancel his party. So, I'm hoping he's better and that he can have a fun time.

Today is supposed to be in the 60s and tomorrow may be up to the 70s with possible thunder storms heading our way Saturday. Spring may have arrived in Oklahoma. Our winter's don't last long.

I feel so bad when the kids are sick, especially on their birthday. My daughter was in bed sick with the flu on her 16th birthday. I really hope your son is feeling better very soon!

Too cute! I have two, my boy looks a lot like your Alex.

Good morning! Well we didn't get any snow overnight but it is beginning to fall lightly now and it looks so pretty. They say we will have a mix of rain and snow with high winds.The heavier snow may come later tonight. We'll see. If it's not raining after I get the girls off to school I will walk the dogs. Not too much else planned for today, just typical daily chores. I was all prepared to stay in today because of the weather so I don't have any errands to run. I hope everyone has a great day!

Very nice to see you again. I hope you get the snow you want !! xo

(((((MerryMistletoe))))) You don't need to apologize !! I feel the same way. It is a little different I know, but when I am typing reports and the person is so sick and they are in hospice and especially if they do not want to die, it always makes me sad. We cannot help but become involved emotionally sometimes even with folks we don't know. I think that is one of the reasons we love Christmas so much - because we are more emotional than other folks. I will pray for this little one's family xo

Yes, I guess I am pouting a bit....(Bigtime have the lower lip sticking out); Thank you for your kind heart...I needed this~

No problem !!! Always willing to share Christmas and snow even if it is only a picture !! xo

What gorgeous boys!!

So the snow is still coming down here but it just isn't sticking. Its better than nothing, it sure looks pretty. I'm just having a quick cup of coffee before I have to pick the girls up from school. I have a senior in high school that usually drives herself and her younger sister everyday but I didn't let her today because the weather was supposed to be bad. One thing I don't like about the snow is having to worry about the kids driving in it. I have two driving, my oldest graduated last year.
I just ordered a few things from the Yankee Candle website. They have some Christmas items on sale so I figured I would get a few presents and put them away for next Christmas.
Hope everyones day is going well.

.Say, if you have an iPad, I'll have to call you on FaceTime sometime and we can have a video chat! I love having the capability, but don't have anyone to talk to. Same with the video hangouts and chat on Google+.

Oh I would love to have a chat on Face time, especially with you, Merry !! That would be coolarity !!! xo

 

[snowflake22]

Here is my collectible Santa's with the new one in his new home.
I made that shelf when I was in 7th grade, which is now, gulp, 25 years ago.

*Awesome!!*

Love the Santas, and your shelf!!

Not much snow overnight, but it's here this morning! It's supposed to fall throughout today and tonight. The roads were just wet when I came to work, but I'm worried about their deteriorating during the day. Cross your fingers that I may be able to get out of here early today before the roads are snow-covered and crowded. The temp is right around freezing, so while the falling snow makes a pretty picture, I'd rather be seeing it out of my own windows instead of the office's. (And the heat isn't working right here today.)

Praying you have good roads when you get out of work and are safe xo

 

[caninemom3]

Good Morning, MMC!!


The Pines wore me out last night! I need some extra coffee this morning!!

I need to catch up on a lecture today, and do some more reading.

What is your day like at work? Or home?

Attached is a pic of my baby girl, after a snowy walk in the woods... I just love the snow on her snout!

Hope you all have a beautiful day!!

Oh I just love her so much !!!! ((((HUGS)))) to you both !!! xo

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I'm heading out to see the cardiologist in a minute. I'll try to be back after lunch. I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Praying you are well, Brad xo

Good morning, snowflake! I am working from home again today - doing some research for an estate sale I am attending tomorrow. Later on I plan to finish reading book 4 in the Rizzoli and Isles mystery series. I love the pix you post of Har - such a cutie! Enjoy your reading and lecture! I hope you have a beautiful day, too!

Thanks, Meceka!!

Hope you're enjoying your day too!

What are you most excited about @ the estate sale?
I love going to them! So neat to see people's treasures.

I didn't know @ the Rizzoli & Isles series. They must be good if you're on book 4!

Hugs to you, Mouse, and Palmer, friend!! Xo

She is so precious. Baby now has a new "rest area"! She has been plopping down right in front of my computer so that I have to scroll up to be able to type replies or to read all the messages because she is in my way!

Aww, that is so sweet! Loves her mama.
