Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Christmasstar]

Hey all!

It's now 1/4 to 10 and with a glass of wine, I'm toasting absent friends.

Got the next two days off - can you say "long weekend"??!!!!!!!

Got a chest x-ray tomorrow (still got left-over whooping cough) so they're checking that out just because it's been going on since February

Despite the snow (yes, we're still snowing) I am planning on taking the garden center by force over the weekend and start putting together planters and hanging baskets. It will be interesting to see if I can actually put this plan in motion or whether it remains another one of my good intentions (I'm telling you, my road to hell is going to be SO well paved!!!!!)

Later, 'gators !!!!!!!

hope your xrays show nothing but good lungs!

It is going well, I am now one of the best dusters in the store! LOL
Friday we have to be there by 7:15am to be settled in the store when opening ceremonies start at 7:30am. Going to be a very busy weekend!

That's great to hear!!

Good luck this weekend!!

That's funny!


Our dwarf rabbit (Bunny B), she is addicted to Tostitos... If she sees us going into the pantry and hears the bag crunching, she's running all over the place and she will also try to crawl up your leg to get one. Get this, she even begs for them, sitting up on her hind legs, it's hillarious to see a rabbit do that...

that is so funny, would love to watch that!

Thanks for the good wishes - I truly feel fine, honest! 3 loads of antibiotics will do that to a person

I'm watching The Spirit of Christmas & thinking about our Christmas Angel right now

I have to ask here ladies, but, what is/ what's in a Gooseberry patch book?

Gooseberry Patch is a publisher of books, some are cookbooks, craft books, calendars, those little organization books, etc.

They're great!!

They come out with ones for different holidays. My favorites are their Christmas & Halloween editions!

They really are charming little books.

Wednesday and it's after 5! Ya-hoooo, were officially over the hump....

I went to an orthopaedic surgeon to get my results from an MRI I had taken of my knee last week. He confirmed to me that the pain that I have been having in my knee for the past 6 months (I did it pushing a 12,000 watt generator around the house, in the rain, during Hurricane Sandy - now, not so smart of an idea...), was from a torn Meniscus. That means surgery on April 22nd. :-?

The surgeon said the MRI showed a torn meniscus, some floaters and some arthritis, nice... He said he'll go in there and clean it out while he's there; roto-roter??? :? I'm not even 50 yet and it's already starting....lol

So, one good thing that I can remember while I'm home that week, I can be here all day.....

Good luck with the surgery, praying it relieves your pain.

Are you sure it's 3 loads of antibiotics thats making you feel fine and not 3 glasses of wine instead that's doing it....:lol:LOL

 

[ChristmasHeart]

ChristmasHeart- hope today is a good one for ya!!

Thank you sooooo much! It was a better day - and its "No Crying Wednesday" as my friend called it!

I'm listening to the Partridge Family's "Come On Get Happy", and I am!!! I'm loving being here again and being part of the Christmas community...

I love the Partidge Family! Do you have their Christmas CD? Its one I listen to over and over again!

ok, really tried to read all the posts but am running out of time!
I have to leave for work in a few min, another day of getting the store ready for our opening day on Friday.

I know what you mean! By the time I get home in the evening - I'd need to be here for hours to catch up on everyone's posts! Hahahaha! Good luck with the store opening on Friday!

I know what you mean! I hope today is a far better day for you and that your day is merry and bright, too!

You are sooooo sweet Meceka!! Thank you!

Yay, come on over. The more the merrier!

Ahhhh...if only I really could! What a Christmassy get-together that would be!

Good morning, MMC!

The rainy days continue - under a flood watch for the next few days. I listened to the local radio station and the head forecaster for the area said rain and lots of it. So, I was supposed to go out looking for store stock today, but instead I am staying home to monitor the basement and Shaggy's yard. There is something I need to find in the attic - I guess today is as good of a day to look for it as any. I was really hoping for a sunny day for my search, but I don't want to put it off any longer.

Have a MERRY day!

Oh dear! I hope it stays dry - and you are safe!

 

[ChristmasHeart]

Excuses, Excuses, Excuses..... :lol:


Sorry to hear that you had a bad day yesterday.

You sure do have a knack of making me laugh, Made! Can you come to work with me every day? That way I'll be sure to have a smile on my face!

 

[ChristmasHeart]

There is a good chance tonight if we get as hot as they think we are going to today.

I am praying for you! Be safe!!!

I'm sorry that you had a rough day yesterday. Thinking of you!
Hope today is much better!!
(((Hugs))) xx

Ohhhh...thank you soooo much!

A nap is definitely in the plans for today. If my buddy doesn't show up that is.

This buddy of yours wouldn't happen to live close by, eh? :lol:

Will be thinking about you! You don't have to wait long for a surgery date.

 

[ChristmasHeart]

Well...I didn't quite get through everyone's posts for today! WOW! I wish I had more time during the day to be here!

The day went much better today!

I told you that I ended up crying at work yesterday - but I didn't tell you that in the middle of having my melt-down...my boss walked into my office! Well...I could not just turn the tears off at that point - so he stood there and listened to me crying and saying how I am overwhelmed...boo-hoo-hoo...and how I feel like I'm failing...waaa-waaa-waaaa. :lol:

Then...all he could say was "But...you have a really pretty Spring dress on today"!

I couldn't laugh about it then...but I have laughed since! I don't think my boss quite knows what to do when I cry! Hahahaha!

Well...its been lovely catching up with you today! Nighty-night and have sweet dreams of Christmas!!!

ChristmasHeart, the story about your boss is funny. I'm glad you can laugh about it now and that today was a better day. Have a wonderful night!

I told you to hire me as one of your assistant's!!!!!!!

Well at least he didn't turn around and walk out I guess.

 

[made582]

Yes but when you didn't turn up I had to drink it.........

Shall I open another bottle???

Of course I did!!!
