Christmas Countdown - 2013

[MerryCarey]

On a lighter note...we have a wedding tomorrow (our good friends daughter) & no plans Sunday/Monday/Tuesday - we will probably be staying at the lake. Wed is a 4th of July party at our friends & then back to no plans except being at the lake Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun!! :grin: Two other couple that we run around with are on vacation all week too, so we might do a little golfing/boating/convertible riding/bicycle riding... flying by the seat of our pants! Lol!

Your Fourth sounds wonderful! Enjoy your free time at the lake!

I almost asked if it was for Jean Harlow, but realized the names are spelled differently, and remembered not everyone is a classic movie "nerd" like me. I think that is awesome!

By the way, one of my favorite Jean Harlow films is Libeled Lady from 1936. I love that movie! She is in it with one of my all time favorite actors (William Powell-whom I share a birthday with, by the way :smile. I believe Powell and Harlow were in a relationship at the time of her death. It's very sad that she died so young.

Well, Harlowe Jean is a nice name for a very cute little doggy girl!

Trivia for you, Ryan: Jean Harlow was in a couple of Laurel & Hardy silent comedies. And her photo shows up in another short. She worked at the Hal Roach studio before she became a star.

Nope, I have nothing there as well... Maybe we should let someone know about that?

I can ask about it. It may just be the fact that it isn't official yet ...

That really is tragic news. My heart goes out to her family.

Have a great time at the wedding and your plans for next week sound delightful! Enjoy!

Thanks to all of you!! 15 more minutes....

Really?! I will have to look this up. It will probably just make me sad again that their silent work is not on DVD and I do not have access to it. I love L&H silents! I am still shocked it took so long for their talkies to come to DVD.

Spent most of the past two days painting the nursery. I've got a little trim work left to do, but I'm hoping to get done with it today. Tomorrow, we are going to look at baby furniture. But today is a trip to the baby doctor!!!!! I'm excited. I've been up since 5:30 and Wifey isn't getting up until 9:00!

This is such a special and exciting time for you and your wife, I'm happy for you. Hope all goes well at the doctor appointment!

Adrian took her this morning, and said she was a "little" nervous but a trooper...

Hopefully, we can pick her up by 4:00.

I will call at lunchtime to check on her, and will keep you posted.

Snowflake, continued hugs and prayers for you and Harlowe. I hope the time goes by quickly for you, I know how difficult it is to be apart from your baby girl for that long xo

Just confirmed that the Kringle Radio player should be visible and available to play. Make sure you're seeing the entire screen---in some browsers and views, you may have to scroll over horizontally to see the right-hand side of the page.

I'm beginning to know how you feel who are undergoing remodeling ... they're currently remodeling my office building. The overhead lights aren't working ... don't know why! I'm trying to proofread by a 60W CFL desk lamp; it's been so dark and rainy outside, it's like working by candlelight. (Doesn't bother anyone else---all their work is on a computer screen!) I brought along a battery-operated camp lantern to see if that will help today. We move over to the other end of the building starting July 8th. Hopefully the lights will be working over there. In the meantime, they just tore out the kitchenette and moved the refrigerator and coffee machine into a work area. No microwave, no sink. The new kitchenette is supposed to be finished around July 20th.

Remodeling is tough to deal with, I have been living in a mess for months. I hope it goes by quickly for you, it sounds like a wonderful project!

Happy birthday to Harlowe! Enjoy the birthday celebration!!!

Thank you! There aren't any views to be had around here---we're in a residential/retail area---but I'm hoping to get a window so I can put my little barn (one of my dad's childhood toys) on the sill. At Christmastime I put the little characters from Rudolph in there and put the Bumble on the roof. I'd miss that.

I bet your office looks great, especially at Christmas time!!

I love the barn!!! I'm sure it means a lot to you.

Happy Birthday to Harlowe! I love the card.
Was the name inspired by Jean Harlow, the movie actress? (She was the 1930s version of Marilyn Monroe.)
(I see you already answered that one!)

Thank you, HmG. It is.

I just checked in with her vet. As of 10 minutes ago, they were just administering the anesthesia and she was starting to lay her head down. They said they were running behind :/

Happy Birthday Harlowe!!!! Give her a kiss for me when she gets home!!!

Tomorrow my wife is going to the New Kids on the Block concert with some of her friends to relive her teen years! :smile: Me and the kids are staying home...I need to finish painting the outside of the house. And we will probably go firework shopping for the 4th. Nothing big, but we always get sparklers and some firecrackers just for fun.

Have fun celebrating Harlowe's bday!

I hope she doesn't come home and sing their songs all weekend after the concert tonight!!!!! :lol:

Have fun with the kids!!!!

Happy Friday!!! I have another 75 minutes of work until vacation time!!!! YAY!!! Unfortunately our community has been saddened again - a young mother of 3 youg kids (she was 36) was killed in a car accident last night! She pulled out infront of a semi. Thankfully she was by herself. But it's just so sad! Her & her hubby are awesome people & our town is in shock this morning. My hubby's sister/husband are good friends with them. Can't really think about anything else! Please send up a prayer for her friends & family! Makes you wonder what is going on! So many tragic things around here already this year!!

On a lighter note...we have a wedding tomorrow (our good friends daughter) & no plans Sunday/Monday/Tuesday - we will probably be staying at the lake. Wed is a 4th of July party at our friends & then back to no plans except being at the lake Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun!! :grin: Two other couple that we run around with are on vacation all week too, so we might do a little golfing/boating/convertible riding/bicycle riding... flying by the seat of our pants! Lol!

Have a great Friday everyone!!

That is so sad. Praying for all of her family and friends.


Have fun at the wedding and the lake!!!

Oh, just a funny little story, when we adopted Har from our friends, their daughters had named her Mariposa, after their Barbie..so cute...but we had to pick our own name for her. She definitely is a Harlowe <3

I definitely like Harlowe better than Mariposa.

I hope they aren't to far behind and still have her ready by 4 for you.

I do not have anything that will allow for me to access.

Lets get a head count going here:

Is there anyone else out there besides myself and Bradmac, who cannot access the new Kringle radio by the upper right hand corner of their screen???
