Christmas Countdown - 2013

[HomemakinGirl]

Hello everyone!
It's going to be sunny today with temperatures in the lower 60's. I walked the dogs and started some chores already this morning. And I just finished cooking some Italian sausage and frying meatballs. I am going to make a pot of sauce after I run a few errands. I need to go to the Hallmark store for a couple of cards and I'm going to stop at Barnes and Noble since its in the same shopping center. Not really looking for anything specific, but I always love to stop in and walk around.
I hope everyone has a great day!!!

I am skeptical. I don't know if I trust that crazy camel in this "May I" game. He's probably going to make many of us embarrassed! That Carl is certainly clever.

Beware of hidden cameras! The video will probably be featured next week at the 'Pines ...

Does your mom ever go to Biltmore House, Bradmac? I love to visit that place!

Oh, yeah, we love visiting the Biltmore House. We went on Father's Day the last time. They let fathers and children in free, so we just bought tickets for Nancy & mom. Good deal!

Good Morning everyone,

I'm up and about early today, I've been sort of a slacker with being off work recouping, so I have not been getting out of bed untill 8:30-9:00 everyday day, mostly because trying to sleeping with these sutures in my leg is a bugger. Today, 5:30; I have some early doctors appointments this morning, the first one at 9....

I called my boss yesterday morning and asked him if they missed me or needed me and he so nope... (geeez thanks) no seriously, he said we had no work so I don't need to rush back (I thought that was pretty cool of them to say that), with a oh by the way you will have to use your sick/ vacation time....lol

Well, I hope everyone has a good day today, at least there's one good thing about today, It's Wednesday, May 1st....(what's that, 197 days untill the Christmas season?)

How nice of them to offer to let you use your vacation time...LOL!

Good morning everyone!

A beautiful morning in Ottawa. The sun is shining and temperatures are already 13 (mid 50s). And the temperature will only increase. Highs are forecasted into the mid 20s/70s. A perfect day!

Speaking of a perfect day, yesterday was also very enjoyable. Kim and I went to the Works for dinner. We both had delicious burgers. I actually wanted a homecooked meal for my birthday, but she spent so much time shopping (for my presents) that she was too hungry to make a meal! ...Maybe she'll make it tonight! Kim bought me a nice t-shirt, shorts and shoes. I needed each. I am thrilled with the gifts. Other than that, I received cards from my mom and grandmother. My grandma isn't doing very well, so she wasn't able to sign the card. That is slightly hard to take, but I'm glad she asked my mom to purchase me a card for my birthday. She will forever be very thoughtful!

I spoke with my dad for a quick moment last night. He's coming up on Friday. As I mentioned, it will be great to see him again. He seemed a little excited to come up. Both Kim and Mike are away for much of this weekend, so my dad and I will have plenty of time to hangout and do whatever.... such as watch plenty of hockey!

I should get back to work. I have acupuncture today and am very hopeful for a positive result. They have me trying everything! Have a great Wednesday, everyone. It's May. It's Pines Day. Not much more we could ask for!

Have a great time with your Dad!!

Good morning, MMC!!

Happy Pines Day!!!!!!

It dropped 30 degrees overnight! It's cloudy, rainy, and the snow starts this afternoon. We have a winter weather advisory out until tomorrow night. Up to 6 inches possible. Gulp. (It reached 82 degrees yesterday!)

My parents are supposed to be driving north to see Harlowe & I tomorrow afternoon, hope it doesn't affect their trip.

Adrian left this morning for a trip with his Dad. They're going to the Kentucky Derby, and they are both very excited!!

How is your day looking?

Well, I need to wash the bedding & get some course reviewing in.

Have a wonderful day, friends!!

Always thinking of you and your family. I, too, felt that doctor visits and home health care were sort of invasive, but it was also a life saver as far as the care I received. The home health care nurses were great, always making sure I got the needed treatment. You mom is definitely tough. I always wonder how someone can keep up their spirits in the face of devastating illnesses. Sometimes people also do not realize how difficult it is on the families, too, not being able to really do anything. Take care, my friend.

You're right, I'm grateful for the home health nurses. Without them, mom would be in a nursing home. Now she gets to live at home. She even goes to Tony's a couple of days a week for a hotdog and ice cream.

I am SO FAR BEHIND on the posts! I said earlier that retired people are busier than they were when they worked, and I cannot believe how true that is for me. We are still on-the-go with lots more to do. The winds here in northern California have been HORRENDOUS the past few days, and tomorrow is supposed to be worse! We had to go to Chico today to do about a zillion errands, and the wind felt as if it were going to blow us off the road! I hate the wind most at night time. I am slowly working through the posts, so if you asked me a question and I did not respond, please PM me; I am not ignoring anyone; I am just so busy lately! Love to all of you! And, yes, I LOVE it when we get into the 100s for the countdown! Almost forgot; it's supposed to be 98 degrees this week! How crazy is that?

I hope you can keep cool, I am already dreading temps like that.

You're making me more jealous each day. Wish we had your weather.

You deserve to be a slacker, enjoy it.

I won the Lear jet fair and square, LOL! Just ask anyone here! I often use it to fly us anywhere there is a good meal. Some of our favorite stops are in Georgia for breakfast at Bernie's with Bradmac or Michigan for some soup and home-grown veggies with Meceka or Canada for some of Christmasstar's cakes or other dessert. All pets are welcome in the newly-renovated fur baby section. You are welcome to use it since it is so easy to fly. Ask Made to be your pilot only if you are brave. He like to do loopdy loops!

Hmmmmmm, is that a bit of winner's remorse I hear? cheesy

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It's going to be hot here today with a high of 83. Ugh!!! I want my 60's back!!! I don't have much planned for today. Just some work on the computer and then a few things to do outside. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

 

[made582]

As you can probably tell by the time, I am not able to sleep. The wind is howling outside and sounds so scary and loud. I do not like wind like that.

Stay safe in that wind!!!!!

Someone caught Carl dancing and drinking Coke, so I think we need to be careful with his games. cheesy

I'll keep her in my prayers.

Snow? in May? Wow, I hope it misses you so your parents can get to you without any issues.

I am jealous of Adrian and his dad, I would love to go the Kentucky Derby, I already have it set to record on my DVR on Saturday.
