Good morning, MMC!

I did not sleep very well and have been up since 3:08. On the plus side I did get some work done already this morning! Yesterday I spent the majority of my time trying to fix something in the house - not so fun, but a necessary job. Today I get to run errands - there are a few things I need to pick up for storage purposes and I need to drop some books off at the library. I love that place! Then if time permits, I am off to Bronner's with my cousin. She has been having a rough time of late and being in that store makes her feel good. Makes me feel good, too! When I get back home there will be a pile of chores waiting for me. It will be good to work off the cupcake at I have been hearing calling my name since this trip has been planned. cheesy

Have a most MERRY day!!!

It sounds like a fun day for you! But I hope you will sleep much better tonight. ;]

Good morning!
It is going to be mostly sunny today with a high of 61 degrees.
So far I have walked the dogs and started laundry. I changed all of the sheets this morning so I have extra laundry to do. I also started dinner in the crock pot. I just cut up a ton of vegetables for Minestrone soup. I will be heading out to run a few errands soon. I need to stop at Target and Michaels. Not too much else going on. Hopefully nothing will come up and I will have a quiet afternoon.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Oh, I can't describe in words how much I love Minestrone soup! <3 I don't make it very often though because it usually takes me ages to do that. ^^

Good evening everyone! Hopefully your Monday was good. :] I spent my day at the campus library working on one of my essays, and I've just finished talking with my mum on 'Skype'. We discussed the issue of me coming back home for Holidays. The prices of the tickets still remain very high and I don't yet know my exam timetable which is very frustrating. :/ Anyway, my fingers are crossed and I hope to figure something out as soon as possible otherwise the airline will increase its fees even more.

Best wishes!

Hubby just laughed at this, Made. The only problem is we wanted to preserve the cabinets to use somewhere else, maybe the garage for my scrapbooking, so even I couldn't use the sledge hammer, LOL! Hubby is very meticulous about his work. So neat and then he still cleans up after himself!

Neat? Clean? Those words don't go with demo!!!

Praying that the ticket situation works out for you Victoria!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

What a busy (and cold!) weekend we had. Jacob and I got up at daylight Saturday to go hunting, but we didn't see anything. Later that evening, he was scheduled to work with the Junior Chamber of Commerce, manning the popcorn booth at the outdoor "Movie in the Park". They played "Night at the Museum", and it was very neat, but it was 47° by the time the movie was over. Brrrr!

Yesterday afternoon, we were in Statesboro all day with Elizabeth, for her Nutcracker practice. What happened to those days when you just plopped down on the couch and watched a movie?

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

that looks like fun! We have the downtown area behind city hall, known as market square close down in the summer several time for movie nights. Get lots of people come out for it. You bring your own chair, popcorn supplied.

I loaded all my digital Christmas music into iTunes in my laptop back in August, and fixed the tags, groupings, artwork, and playlists the way I wanted them. The idea is that I should be able to just sync my device to my laptop later this week and---instant Christmas season! It's also been VERY useful as I've been putting together my playlists for Kringle Radio. I can just scroll through and see what I have at my fingertips! And I'm looking forward to pairing a device with a Bluetooth speaker and hitting "shuffle" as we wrap gifts.

And the MP3s are only a fraction of our Christmas music ... we have LPs, cassettes, and CDs that haven't been digitized. Must dig deeper into those and get to know them again.

thats what my daughter is going to show me how to do, thanks.

Sorry I haven't been around for a few days. Mom had to be taken to Baptist hospital in Wake Forest early Wed morning. She was in ICU until Saturday when they told us there was nothing else they could do. She is now back home and hospice has been called in. My wife is down there now taking care of her until we complete the transition to hospice. I'm trying to work a little today but it is not easy.

We are really taking 1 day at a time and I'm not sure when I will be back on. I want to thank all of you for your prayers and thoughts for our family. You're the greatest.

he is definitely a keeper then!
Praying you feel better quickly

We finished taking down the top cabinets in the kitchen yesterday. Did not finish until late afternoon. We ate breakfast in the front room on TV trays. One more time for the dishwasher, and then the bottom cabinets come out. Lots of work!!!

You started demo with out me??? I even polished the head of my sledge hammer the other day to get it ready!!!!!

Demolition.....is soooooo fun~ It's the best part of the whole project...

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear about this. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I could not even imagine being in the same situation as you. I am hoping and praying for a miracle.

It's still there!!! LOL!!!!! It's getting better. It doesn't hurt as bad or as long after I walk on it.

Enjoy your shopping trip with your mom!!!

I'll see if I can keep it here longer so it doesn't ruin your halloween too!!!

I am glad it's getting better! You need to stay off of it! I probably wouldn't stay off of my foot, though...so who am I to say?! Thanks! I had a good shopping trip with my mom. Santa now knows a few things I want for Christmas! LOL! You don't want more rain! I wish it would just poof somewhere.

Michaels was a miss for me today too. I wanted a new scarecrow for my front lawn but they were all sold out. My old one is falling apart. I took out my glue gun and fixed him up! On the bright side, the store was filled with lots and lots of Christmas merchandise!

Awww! I am sorry it was a miss. I am sure that you fixed up the scarecrow really nice! That's exciting that there were Christmas items out! The only two stores I have seen with Christmas items are Hallmark and Walmart so far.

It doesn't look so good here either, lets hope it changes!
As of right now Wednesday and Friday look like the worst days for us.

I hope that it does change and that you don't get any rain either!

Hope renovations are going well!

Jennifer - we are supposed to have a lot of rain here Wed & Thurs too! Hopefully it won't be as bad as they are saying. Our town had trick or treat day yesterday - but I'm sure we will have a few come around yet this week!
umpkin:

I hope you don't get any rain! Where is it coming from all of the sudden?! You're lucky that you already had trick or treat!

It happens mostly in the morning. I am starving for breakfast, eat something, and almost immediately feel nauseous. I hate that! Gonna rest until it passes.

I'm so sorry, Seawaters. I hate nausea. I hope that it passed quickly and that you are feeling much better. You're in my prayers!

Good evening!! I hope that you're making good progress on your essay! When will your exam schedule be released? It's crazy that it isn't yet. My exam schedule was released earlier in the month or late last month. I hope that you're able to find an inexpensive ticket so that you can make it home! Have a good night!

Good evening, MMC! I hope that you've all had a wonderful Monday!

I went shopping with my mom earlier. I found a few shirts that I liked and I was told that Santa would handle it, LOL! I later went to class and my professor only made us stay for fifteen minutes and then told us she had nothing else to talk about. It was bizarre and a waste of gas, but at least I got home early! Nothing else is planned for the evening except to relax and watch some TV. I have a hockey game to watch and then my favorite show comes on at 10 PM.

I grabbed some lunch out today and sheesh...I am sooooo thirsty ever since I ate! That's why I hate eating out. It always makes me so darn thirsty afterwards. I'll be the same way tomorrow because I'm meeting a friend for lunch.

What do you all have planned for the evening?

Enjoy your evening.
PS, try drinking a full glass of water before you eat, that should help hydrate you.

I don't have too much else planned for the night. I just got in from doing some more car shopping with my husband, I'm glad that's over with. I have a few chores to do and then I am done for the night. I can't wait to curl up in bed with my book!
I'm sure you were happy to be home early tonight Jennifer. Enjoy the rest of your evening!!!

Nothing exciting for me tonight. Just sitting here watching the Voice and the Black List.
