Christmas Countdown - 2013

[xmastidings]

Good evening, friends!!

I had a busy, but nice evening at work!!

And the Packers won! Woohoo!!
I wore my Rodgers jersey today, everyone in the store had Green Bay gear on! It was pretty cool.

I still haven't eaten dinner, so I'm going to go fix some.

Hope you all have a great evening!!

That game was a Love / hate game for me, since these are my two most favorite teams, I loved it that the Packers won and I hated it that the Ravens lost.... Oh what is a football fan to do.....I believe it's another excuse to stuff my face with chicken wings, crab soup and have pie for dessert~:mrgreen:

There's a MMC cookbook?!?!

Yes, but you might have to contact Jeff or Maureen to see if there are any more copies available.

I am trying again to post. Prayers for your dad are on the way, Holiday. He sounds so sweet! Your weekend sounds wonderful! I am so glad to be retired and not have to worry about Mondays rolling around and having to go to work! Those chickens look great. What a neat barbeque-er your BIL is!!

Thanks for the prayers! Yes, this is the BIL who owns a "meat market" - butchur. He makes the best stuff! His chicken wings...OH MY!!! (these chicken halves had a little of his wing seasoning on them. YUM!)

those chicken look good! We often do that, with everyone working now it is easier to have those really to eat meals available.
Pray all goes well with your dad.

Thank you for the prayers too! Yes, I love those quick easy meals sometimes! (though I like to cook sometimes too! :smile:

Wow! That looks gooood sumthin' fierce, as Andy Griffith would say.

:lol: sumthin' fierce indeed!

Good morning MMC! Happy Monday! Happy Columbus Day! Happy Thanksgiving in Canada!


It's a typical Monday morning here. Tired! I was ready for bed by 8:30 last night - I had to fight to stay awake until 10:00! It just gets dark too early now! HA! So I shouldn't be tired today, but I feel like I could use a nap! (won't happen...)

Our meal at the lake Friday night turned out really well. Saturday afternoon we went on a bike ride with friends. Saturday night we watched Mama Mia on the big screen. Yesterday we rode bike at the lake in the morning, then rode bike with my family in the afternoon along the Miami Erie canal to a 40 acre pond. It was a beautiful (though bumpy) ride! Last night we went to my sisters - my BIL made a bunch of chicken halves on his cooker - we had all placed an order for how many we wanted to take home to freeze for a quick easy meal! They were delish! They look dark in the picture, but they really weren't!



Poof - there went the weekend! Not much going on this week that I know of! Dad has a doc appt with a back surgeon Thursday. Makes me kind of nervous. He has a flattened vertebrae in his lower back - they say it's not an operable type thing, but they want an opinion from a surgeon! I hope there is something they can do for him - for the pain! And I sure hope they don't tell him that his days of mowing lawn (riding mower) are over! He could mow 365 days a year & he would be a happy man! So a little prayer for my papa would be appreciated!

Have a great Monday!

^^YUM^^

What a fun weekend you had!

Thoughts & prayers for your Dad, Holiday. Please keep us posted.

I tried to post again, and it didn't go through because apparently I am not Platinum. We'll see if this post gets through! I will try to check in from time to time today.

Hope you're feeling better today!

That is frustrating when you can't get on here!! It happens to me from time to time, too- same message :/

Good morning everyone!

I wasn't able to stop by yesterday. What a busy day! I did, however, hold my own celebrations for the fact that it was one month until the Christmas Season! 30 today and seeing 29 tomorrow will be nothing short of extraordinary!

Despite Thanksgiving being today, we celebrated yesterday - as I believe most people do because of traveling, etc. It was a delicious dinner filled with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and of course, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, apple crisp and a few other delicious deserts. I could barely control myself! All in all, I think it is good that meals like that only happen about twice per year - at least for me... Of course, I will be looking forward to the next one - Christmas Day - even more!

72 days until Christmas Day?! I think I will have to make a massive effort to treasure every inkling of Christmas I see from now on. Not that I don't already, but I think I will have to make an even bigger/conscious effort of appreciation. Hopefully I will be able to go to the Rideau Centre sometime this week to see if I can find some Christmas displays! I'm sure that The Bay may have their Christmas Street on display very shortly!

OK. Well, Kim and I have to drive back to Ottawa shortly. I hope everyone in Canada enjoyed their Thanksgiving and everyone south of the border has done the same for their Columbus Day! There are no remaining holidays until the beginning of the Christmas Season, although some may get Remembrance/Veterans' Day off. Such a wonderful feeling. Our favourite Season will be in here in 30 days!

Have a great Monday, everyone!

Sounds like you guys had an amazing holiday celebration yesterday!

Have a safe trip back!!

I know, I thought of you & SIT.

But, I'm still glad my Pack won! It was hard having to punch in to work with only 2 minutes left. Luckily, all of the guys that came in filled me in on the end of the game!

:sparkle:

Just some CD's that are creepy Halloween organ music, a scary Soundtrack mix, sounds effects, etc.. ones I play for the kids during Trick-or-Treating

I also listen to various stations on the Live 365 app- under Seasonal/Holiday--->Halloween!!

I do they very same thing as well! Live 365 has some really good stations/ play lists that really capture the spirit (ha, get it - "the spirit" of Halloween) as well as the mood and spirit of Christmas..... ;-)

 

[Meceka]

Definitely meant what I said! But it certainly won't be easy to beat the Tigers!

Congratulations on Boston's win last night.
