Oh Ryan he is sooo cute!!!

Good Saturday morning, my Christmas friends!

We're running around, getting ready to go to Savannah. I hope I can find the plastic worms I'm looking for at Bass Pro Shops...Zoom June Bug Trick Worm! Best bass worms made!

I hate that Lulu will be here all alone all day. We'll have to bring her a treat.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good Morning MMC!!! It's going to be a beautiful day here with a high in the mid 40's. Then winter arrives late tonight. It looks like we are still on track for 6 to 10 inches of snow by Monday morning. Booo!!! All of the talk about convention last night led to me having an awesome dream. Instead of going to Louisville or Detroit, I convinced all of you to just fly here to Indianapolis. That way we were in between Santa Claus, Indiana and Bronners. Then Instead of renting hotel rooms, all of you stayed here at my apartment building since all of my neighbors have spare bedrooms and air mattresses. It was like a giant sleep over that involved setting up a TV in the yard for Christmas movies and Caroling in the middle of summer. Then we went out and rented a couple of passenger vans and made an overnight trip to Santa Claus, IN. Then we came back here for a few days show I could show you around town. Then we made another overnight trip up to Bronner's and camped out in tents in Meceka's front yard. It was a blast and a little weird. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I've said it before, it is amazing how you can care for a bunch of people who you have never physically met. This site has been such an amazing find.

I agree....!! xo

It has come up a few times, it is such a great idea, I would love to do that.

I would love to meet everyone !! But if it ever comes to pass, I would probably need to hitch a ride to wherever from my hotel because driving is one of the things I have some fear about.....

My sister went with her neighbor today to the corners office and she said it was just tragic. The corner told her that her husband had been driving in the slow lane of the interstate when a semi that had been sitting in the median decide to come back onto the road. The semi came out at a really slow speed and Scott tried to swerve but didn't have enough time and ran into the back of it. The worse part though was that he mostly likely would have survived if it hadn't taken so long to cut him out of his work van.


In other news, Boeing confirmed that they are going to lay off 800 employees starting in 2 weeks. My BIL has been there a little over 2 years so he's not sure how far up the chain he is. It doesn't make sense though. They say there's not enough work for them but yet they are on mandatory overtime and working weekends.

My prayers are on the way for your BIL and continue for Stephanie.

Goodnight everyone! We are turning in early,the boys are fast asleep and Snowball has us worried all day he is lethargic..We will continue to monitor him overnight...maybe he just has a bug,but when he refuses food we know something is up...I hope everyone has a great and peaceful night,it seems a lot of us are facing a lot of heartache right now...I will keep all of yall in my prayers as usual!!!

My prayers for Snowball are on the way.

I have two daughters home but one is still out. I'm getting sleepy so I'm going to nap for a little bit while I wait for her to get in. I hope everyone has a very good night!

I hope your daughter got home okay ! xo

 

[caninemom3]

I cannot believe how tired I am. As we were sitting in Red Lobster, I almost fell asleep at the table. I did fall asleep on the way home, so I am going to put on my Christmas jammies and go to sleep!

I get like that every night...I sit down to read or get on MMC and before you know it...I am nodding off.....

 

[Meceka]

North Pole, Alaska would be cool!!! Probably way to expensive though.


Bronner's probably wouldn't be to bad. It's about the same distance from Detroit as Santa Claus is from Louisville.

Alaska would be way cool!

Well, 2 more shifts at Subway and I am done there.
I have lots to study with my two new jobs so will be keeping busy there. Also have orders for several cakes in the next few weeks.

I will be glad as I am sure you will be when you are finished there !! xo

 

[Meceka]

Thanks, Meceka. These pics were made before I found out that I don't have bone cancer, so can you imagine how much I am smiling now?

Yes indeed I can!

We just had a hail storm,I checked my car since it was not in the car park and it did not have any dents...we did not loose power either but Kylee is scared to death,snowball even acted a little shook up we picked up an inch of rain in like 20 minutes. Anyways we were sleeping in right before this happened like 30 minutes ago. I hope everyone is having a great sat,you guys up north are probably getting snow and freezing rain so be careful this weekend. I think it's suppose to be nasty just everywhere except the west!!!

Morning everyone! Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Seawaters you are in my thoughts As usually love reading what everyone is up to. Courage and strength to everyone having a tough time.

It is snowing here ! I don't know where this sudden winter spell has come from especially as this week has been very much spring *puzzling*
I love the snow but I am ready for Spring now. My mom is visiting from abroad so I am hoping the bad weather doesn't impact on her trip - fingers crossed.

Okay well have a great weekend everybody !

Hope the weather improves for your mother's visit !! It is nice to see you !! xo

Good Morning, Wacky Weekend Wonders!

And there is absolutely, positively no better way to start one's weekend than with a healthy happy heaping helping of the daily count figures.

As such, submitted for your approval:
Days to the Season: 235
Days to Christmas Day: 277
The day after tomorrow, Guys -- the 1/4 Christmas Day Milestone will arrive right on schedule.
Superlative!

Still coldish with no end in sight for the near future.

An unexpected warm spell in the fall is called "Indian Summer".
What do you call an unexpected cold spell in the spring?
<< "Uncomfortable", Crown? >>
OK......I'll buy that.

We are at 41 degrees here, currently.

Have a Sensational Saturday, Friends!

Hey Crown !! Always nice to see you. Could you please ask Carl if I can give him a ((((hug))) ?? I dont know how he feels about that stuff xo!!

Ok, just so you know what my idea of a god movie is.....it goes like this...

Small, casual conversation like "Hi, how are you?" Followed by a kind reply of "I'm fine, but you are a spy, bad guy, terrorist with an evil idea like holding the President hostage....and I'm about to start shooting at you."

This conversation is followed by an hour of shooting, explosions, crashes, and fights. Then there is a 15 minutes conversation where everyone laughs or someone is captured and interrogated, followed by another hour of shooting, explosions, crashes, and fights. It all concludes with a big kiss at the end (or a handshake).

If this is your kind of movie, it is awesome! I really enjoyed it....and so did Wifey. The only difference in my favorite movie and her favorite movie is that is has to have a good looking leading man like me (or Gerard Butler, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Daniel Craig, etc).

Sounds like my kind of movie. Awesome that your wife enjoyed it too.
