Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Holiday]

You guys are writing too much. I can't answer to all those posts. Therefore I just try to spread as many "thanks" as I can.

:lol:

Hello MMCers!

How are all of you? Missy and I are fine. I don't recall the last time I posted in this page (sorry!) but since then, I've been working for the Bureau of Unclaimed Property, Missy and I celebrated 1 year of being "mommy and furdaughter", I'm still active in the Transplant Games (headed for Houston next summer!), and in a long-distance relationship with a great guy!

Welcome back! Sounds like things are going well for you! Glad to hear it! Don't be a stranger!! It's getting to be our favorite time of the year!!!!
:grin:

Good morning, friends!!

Just a quick hello, thinking of you all.

Harlowe seems to be doing better today, thank you all for the thoughts & prayers. Please keep them coming! <3

We had a nice visit with our friends yesterday, but Harlowe didn't know what to make of the big dog that came with them =] He is a very sweet golden retriever, but was a little too rambunctious & frightened her, I think a lot has to do with his size, too. Add not feeling the greatest on top of it, well... we were going to keep him outside, but it was 95 degrees & 100% humidity, so he needed to come in.

All in all, it was a nice day.

I am still catching up here, and will be throughout later this afternoon & evening. Sending lots of hugs to you, Christmas buddies. Take care!

Have a blessed day!!

Continuing to pray for Harlowe! I'm glad to hear you had a good day with your friends!!! You have a blessed day too!!

I hope you have de-stressed by now, Meceka. I hate days like that, especially when you have no control on what others say and do! Take care, my friend. You work so hard!

Good afternoon, MMC!

I hope this finds everyone well!

What a busy few days I have had! Stressed out family members, somebody else's book checked out to me at the library, migraine, work, shopping and garden produce pretty much sums it all up. Migraine is gone - yay!!!! Today was laundry day and I am also trying to catch up on all the things I did not get accomplished over the weekend, including the forums here. Missed all of you!!! I will be in and out for the next few hours.

Be MERRY!!!!

It's too darn hot!! =]

The movie sounds really good! How was it?

It was really cute!! I'm glad I watched it! It's not a classic but definately not a waste of time!!

I am sitting here with a cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee that I just brewed in the Keurig. We have the whole house fan on, so it feels cool in here, even fall-like!!! I have some of my packing done (will only be gone for a day) and will try to get finished reading the posts! We are going to Yreka for an Elks meeting and dinner. We will meet friends for breakfast at Hungry George's tomorrow morning before heading for home. TTYL

The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew was one of my favorites along with The Bobsey Twins! I started reading the Peppers because of a book report Irene Morgan gave when I was in school (4th grade) over 50 years ago!!!

I read one of the Bobbsey Twins books that my mom had in a little bookcase. I forget which one, but it was published in the 1940s, so it was "unsanitized." I hear that when they reissued the books later, they were altered to make them politically correct. Mom also had kept one of the Honey Bunch books and a couple of books based on comic strips. I read 'em all!

Have you ever seen the Five Little Peppers movies starring Edith Fellows? They are set in the modern day (the 1940s) and are probably not very true to the books. The little girl who plays Phronsie is a hoot. We were watching one of the movies where the Peppers go to a boarding school and are snubbed by the other students, especially one very snooty girl. This girl was giving Polly a hard time near a pond. We were yelling at the screen, "Push her in, Phronsie!" And she did!

Good evening!
The girls first day of school went well. They all seem to be pretty tired tonight. Its going to take some time before we get use to waking up so early in the mornings again. But it always takes time to get back in to the swing of things. I'm going to turn in soon, I am so tired. I woke up at 3:00 a.m. and couldn't fall back to sleep. I kept looking at the clock every 5 minutes. I'm hoping that doesn't happen again.
We took a ride to Best Buy this afternoon to pick up an iPad for my daughter to use at her nursing program. They are very cool, I would love to have one for myself. And finally, my youngest took her road test today and passed. She is so excited. I now have three teenagers that drive. Eeek!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful evening.
Goodnight!!

Congrats to your daughter!!

Hope you slept well last night!!

my former boss from Subway called today, wants me to come back to work there. I could sure use some extra hours so I think I will take some hours there too. At least it is work I will not have to train for.

That worked out nicely!
Congrats :grin:

Well, I started way too late to read all of today's posts. We went to the Dr. today and she said that Dr. Wifey has started to dilate. We got back for another visit in three days....then next Monday. If no luck next Monday, she said she would schedule something.

You think we can schedule this around the Cowboys game? Should I even bring that up?

Have a great Tuesday!

Not much longer, my friend!! So excited for you guys.

You're all in my thougts & prayers!!

 

[snowflake22]

Good evening,

I guess I am the last one in tonight, I'll be sure to get the lights before I leave. cheesy

Today actually went very quickly at work. I did get the dreaded news that I will be a "HOT" item team leader on Black Friday, for the 3rd year in a row. I hate that job. I have my first training session on Thursday, at least I learn about it 2+ months in advance instead of a week before like the last few years.
Day off tomorrow, I have my physical in the a.m., and then JP has his in the afternoon.

Just listening to the Joy Strings Christmas album before bed, it is something a little different, a nice change though.

Good night, everyone.

Hope you & JP's appointments go well tomorrow.

Sorry that you have to work Black Friday :/

Thinking of you!

I am relieved to hear she is doing better. It must have been really good to spend time with your friends.

Good morning!!! Hope you all are doing well! Not much going on at work today. Usually Wednesday is my slowest day of the week....could be a looong week! (at work!) It is already super hot & sticky outside so I'm happy to be in the AC (and wearing my sweatshirt! :lol I wore a tank top for our morning walk today - Sept. 10th & still wearing tank tops at 5:30 am! That's unusual!!! We might have ice cream for supper tonight! Hubby won't want anything warm after working outside all day!! And I haven't been to the ice cream store in town alll summer & it's about to close for the year! EEK!!!!

Make it a great day!

:give:

Yeah I agree, you can't let the cream shop close without having some!

I know!!!!!!! I LOVE Fall and Thanksgiving and CHRISTMAS!!

Hello everyone! Just had to share that on a girls' weekend away I just went on I found a Christmas shop! It's in a large town about 3 hours drive from where we live. It's in a lovely wine growing area surrounded by gentle hills. It was a fabulous weekend and finding the Christmas shop just capped it off!! The shop was full of decorations, trees, ornaments...just everything! While the others spent their time spending money in clothes/jewellery, gift or book shops, I spent all mine in the Christmas shop. What a great way to spend a lovely weekend.

How wonderful that must've been!! What a lovely surprise!!
:sparkle::merry:

 

[Seawaters]

I will. Just sign a few checks first because I received my Terry's Village catalog in the mail last week!

I just got the new Terry's Village christmas catalog in the mail. Can someone please come take my credit cards and checkbook for safe keeping!!!! I haven't even looked past the first couple of pages and I'm already searching for the keys to the safe to get them out.

Anyone want to come help me do my cleaning? Made? CAH?

Evening everyone! I am just making dinner so popping in quickly. I am making vegetarian sausages,butternut sqaush/Potatoe mash, yorkshire puddings and vegetables.

Looking forward to getting a little time out after the kids go to bed. My youngest has been so cranky of late and on top of him waking up at 3am every morning it's been a little tough.

The screen of my digital camera has been smashed, I think it might of been the baby playing with it. I don't know when it happened. Anyway DH ordered a new screen and it came today . He is hoping that he can replace it . I hope that is the only problem with it and it works! Fingers crossed. It was a christmas gift from DH a couple years ago.

I hope you all are having a good day. Back to making dinner and bath time for the children. DH won't be home from work till late.

Good morning,

Just watching a little TV before leaving for my appt. Merlin is sitting next to me sleeping, he is our "old guy" and he always needs to be with someone. I have got to head out, my doctor will probably tell me the same thing he always tells me, I have to lose weight.

Hey, I eat all the cookies, but don't finish the milk. cheesy


I will be back later.

Enjoy your day!!!!

I hope your doctor appointment goes well!

Good morning everyone!

A warm day ahead. Temperatures are to only be in the mid 70s but lower 90s with humiex. It should be interesting! No big plans for today. I'll keep applying for jobs. I also have a doctor's appointment in just over an hour. It's routine active release therapy appointment on my knee. It was a little sore about a week ago but it has since calmed down. Everything should be good!

I think I should be getting ready though. I only have about 30 minutes to get ready. Have a great morning everyone! Enjoy your Tuesday!

I hope your knee heals 100%!

Hello MMCers!

Please, don't worry about this at all. There's absolutely no obligation to answer every post. Just enjoy reading the posts when you can. We're happy just to have you here ... trust me, nobody's keeping score!

Really? Then why does Made keep sending me a report card with bad marks? I have a failing grade on the subject, "Replying to Post on the Christmas Countdown". oint:

Ha ha! Kidding, of course! :wink:

Catacea, I have not done a good job keeping up either and hate when I miss big news. It's okay! MerryCarey is right, nobody's keeping score! Please stop by often and never feel obligated to reply to everything. We are just glad you are here! =)
