Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Christmasstar]

Good Morning, MMC!!

How are you today?

I am well. Just having coffee & enjoying a fire and our Christmas tree

We are almost done decorating, we will hopefully be finished with the village by the weekend. We put out 4 tables, and decided to stop there. And maybe rotate pieces each year. Adrian asked me if I'm ever going to stop buying new pieces, lol. My answer was "Hmmmm..." =]

I have been trying to avoid the Home goods area at work, we are getting a truck everyday now, and most of it is Christmas! Yikes! So tempting...

Thinking of you all, and keeping everyone in prayer- for health, safety, and just because you are all dear to my heart.

Have a blessed & beautiful Christmasy day!!

xx

I still have to get my decorations out of storage!
Are you going to post some pictures?

Good morning all. Just wanted to update everyone. Spent the night with mom at the hospice house. She is now unresponsive and getting morphine every 4 hours. I talk to her but I'm not sure she hears.

I'm not meaning to be a downer.I feel blessed to have this time with her.

Thanks again for your prayers & thoughts.

I can't wait to see your pictures Snowflake, I bet your decorations look amazing! Enjoy it!
I hope you have a wonderful day

Thanks, friend! You, too!!

Good morning!
I just got back from walking the dogs, it is so windy out there!
My daughter felt awful this morning but she started clinical today and had to be at the hospital bright and early. Then she has to work this afternoon in to this evening. I'm praying she doesn't have too much written homework to do on top of everything. I feel bad for her, I hate when they're sick!
I am just finishing up a cup of coffee and then I'm heading out. The dogs have a groomer appointment in a little while. I feel like I was just there, the past month went by so fast! I also need to run to the supermarket and Target. Then back home to get my chores done.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Your daughter is in my thoughts & prayers!

Good morning all. Well the CD player in my car is officially dead, so no Christmas music for me on my drive to and from work. oh well. How is everyone? We are putting up our tree this weekend and I can't wait! Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

That is a bummer.

Hope you still have a great Tuesday!

I definitely will =) Just waiting for the village to be complete!

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a nice day here with a high in the mid 40's. I have some more cleaning and decorating to do but right now I have a cranky little girl here that just wants me to hold her. So that will all have to wait until later. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Christmasstar]

stayed home from work today, sore throat, stuffed head zero energy.
I have all this stuff to do and every time I try I last about 5 min and then have to sit down.

LittleCS is working on her gingerbread log cabin and it is looking great!
My covered bridge fell apart yesterday when I foolishly decided to turn it over. Nothing broke, just came apart. So I will have to scrape off all that icing and put it back together again. sigh Oh well, repair work in decorating cakes ect happens often, it is to be expected.

So I will spend my day resting lots and hanging out here.

That's a catastrophe! This is a long shot, but ... do you have a cassette player? You can get one of those dinguses shaped like a cassette that lets you play an MP3 player through the system. That's how I listen to MP3s in the car. There are also dinguses that allow you to play MP3s through the FM radio.

Enjoy putting up the tree!

Thinking of you and your family, mgramsey. I know what you're going through; last year Mr. went through this with his father. It was very difficult, but there were also some special, memorable moments.

You're not a downer at all. Sometimes when you hurt, it helps just to tell someone who cares.

 

[MerryCarey]

I hope that cold lets go of you very soon, Christmasstar!

I really would like to see that covered bridge when it's ready. My grandmother loved covered bridges---I can't wait to see what one made of gingerbread looks like. I hope the repair work goes smoothly.

Being able to share with friends, both the good times and the bad times, is what friends are for. Thinking of your and all your family during this time. Peace be with you.

I never knew what a job it is to remodel just one kitchen/den area of a house! The concrete contractor came over yesterday just as we got back into town from Madera. We attended the Eagle Scout Court of Honor for our nephew. It was awesome!!! Made, Brad, and Coach (I think) are among those ranks of Eagle Scouts!!!

I received my first Christmas card on Friday!
It was from Country Treasures- our local Hallmark & gift store. It was hand written!
I thought that was pretty darn cool, in this day & age. Nice to be appreciated as a customer. I do shop there a lot

I got that card too!! (cept from my local Hallmark) :grin: But that wasn't my 1st - my 1st one was from the Salvation Army!! Both were very cool cards!!! ENJOY! Have a great day!

Sorry you aren't feeling well. Hope you are better quick too!

Good morning MMC! Time is going so fast! I'm still in disbelief that Thanksgiving is NEXT week! And T-day is late this year! It's crazy!

Not much going on around here today. Last night I tried to make a cornucopia - it has a little to be desired but I'm going to use it anyway. :lol: I'm planning to fill it with cheese chunks & maybe some grapes?



I stuck it in the freezer - says to keep the aluminum foil inside to hold the shape. So I will pull it out next week & see how it held up. The recipe says to fill it with cheese (or whatever you prefer) 1 day & the next day you can fill it with spinach dip & use the bread for dipping! Hmmm....

Hope you are all having a great day!!! I'm ready to get home from work & start crossing off my "to do" list for Thanksgiving!

I don't have a tape player. I went and bought the radio tuner but the music comes through very faint and with a lot of static. I'm out of luck!
