Christmas Countdown - 2013

[snowflake22]

Good morning everyone!!! It's been crazy around here lately and I sure missed checking in her. I figure it's going to be crazy for the next two weeks till school starts.

Finally got a diagnosis for DD's belly pains and stuff. After 3 procedures and blood work the Dr says it's IBS. Which is not fun but at least it's not as bad as they originally thought. So we are trying to figure out what some of her trigger foods are so she can try to stay away from them.

Spent all last weekend shopping for school stuff. NC had a tax free weekend on school supplies and clothes, so we went Fri,Sat and Sun. But we got everything.

Well gonna go try and catch up. Have a grand daylaying:

DD is in my thoughts & prayers!

Good morning!
I am on my third cup of coffee already. I need to walk the dogs and get my day started. My 18 year old woke me up with a phone call at about 1:00 in the morning, she got in to a car accident. She wasn't driving, one of her guy friends was. It wasn't her friends fault, the other car went through a stop sign and t-boned his car. Thankfully no one was hurt. I drove down to where it happened to make sure everyone was alright and to take my daughter home. I'm telling you, these teenage years are wearing me out. It's so stressful. I'm at the point where I don't even say hello when they call me, the first words out of my mouth are "Are you alright?"
Anyway, I have to go food shopping today. I'm happy I made it to my butcher yesterday, so that is off my list. I also need to go to the bank and the pet store. Other than that it will be a typical day, I have laundry and some other chores to do.
It is going to be sunny today with a high of 82 degrees. I wish it were a bit cooler but the humidity is gone, so I shouldn't complain.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Thank God your daughter is safe, and no one was hurt!

((Hugs))

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a warm but decent day here with a high in the mid 80's. I'm getting ready to go play mechanic today. I need to change the oil in my mom's car and then my aunt has a headlight out so I'm going to fix that. Then I have a few errands to run. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Good luck today!!

Hope you can still have some fun somewhere in there, too!!

Good morning, friends!

It is a beautiful, cool 66 degree morning here in Eau Claire. With highs in the mid 70's.

Harlowe & I just took a nice walk, and I am looking forward to a day of getting some things done around the house and relaxing after my first week.

What are your plans?

Hope you have a blessed day!!

What fun that was, I am sure! I hope they made a lot of money for the kids!

Cloud Nine does make some pretty big bicycle seats! We call them BAS (Big A** Seats) Hee hee heee!

There is a restaurant about 15 miles from us that does this quite often for different groups/charities. They have all their regular kitchen help (and some regular waiters/waitress) but people from the group/charity take all the orders, bring out your drinks, ask if everything is ok. Last night we knew Pat was going to be there, so we told them we wanted to sit in Pats section when we got there. He had told us about it & told us to come & he would serve us. They kind of spread the word to their family & friends, but the business is just open as usual. He forgot several things & had to come back out- like this meal has 2 sides with it & he only took an order for 1 side, he forgot to ask his wife what kind of salad dressing, forgot to ask my sister soup or salad, etc. We had a ball with him! Good fun, good cause! I bet the kitchen help dreads those nights. Ha ha ha! ;-)





Come along!!



I hope your headache never appeared!!! Have a good rest of your day!



AWESOME! This show was on Sunday morning at the lake. Our neighbors 5 yo & 3 yo just love it. They were glued to the tv! And the other neighbors grandson was there too - who is 11 & he said it's his favorite show. Too funny! It was a good one!! Great gift!

Oh my goodness!!! I am SO glad that she and her friend are safe as well as the other driver. Hope today is better!

It sounds like a lovely morning with Harlowe!! I hope you have a wonderful day xo!

I have been running around like crazy trying to make sure that I am all packed this morning. I think I have everything (sheesh I sure hope). I have to get going to the airport in about a half an hour and my flight is in 2 and a half hours. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers for a safe flight!

I will catch up with you guys next week after the cruise!

xoxo

I will have to try this! We love key lime anything!!!

My Hubby's birthday is today so this morning I made a key lime pie... vey simple and very good

5 egg yolks
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup of key lime juice

Mix and pour into a graham cracker crust. Which I bought premade
Bake at 375 for 15 minutes

 

[Seawaters]

I wish all of y'all could have been there!

That meal sounds absolutely delicious.

 

[Seawaters]

Where did you get your Move t-shirt? I would love to get one of Roy singing his I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day song!

That is an awesome t-shirt, if I didn't just buy a Move t-shirt I would be all over it.

 

[Seawaters]

So did I!!!

Thanks Snow! I love them all!

 

[Seawaters]

Yes, please!

Sounds good! Please post this in the Recipes forum, so everyone will see it.

 

[Seawaters]

Thanks for letting us know! I bought the new Fall Baking magazine. That is normally the first one I see. More and more will be showing up soon. I can hardly wait.

Good evening,

I saw my first 2 Christmas magazines of 2013, one was called "Holiday Crafts" and the other was a Woodworkers Holiday issue. Wooohooo! I won't be buying either one but knowing they are out makes me happy.

One more day until a day off, it will be busy tomorrow with bargain hunters buying goods without any sales tax.

I am absolutely exhausted, so I am heading to bed soon.


Good night all.

 

[Seawaters]

Thank you, Xmas!!! I totally loved them all! I am going to order one or two because they are a great price!

Seeing all this Halloween talk, I received an email from Vermont Christmas Company, and they have a Halloween Countdown calendar, looks like an Advent style calendar.

[Seawaters]

This is so exciting!!! It is practically time! I think we all are almost as excited as you and Dr. Wifey! Are you having a countdown of your own???

Sept. 23....won't be long now!

 

[Seawaters]

So do I!!! This will be the first year that I won't be going in to set up the classroom and get ready for the Halloween bulletin board. I truly miss it but I love retirement even more. I am sure that my health has a lot to do with my attitude. I even dreamed about getting ready for school last night. I dreamed they gave me a kid that had major problems; he was practically a sociopath. It was truly scary. I woke up feeling so sad for him. In the dream, there were men from India trying to sell their kids to the schools! How weird is that?

School getting ready to start.....Halloween talk....gosh, I love this time of year...
