Christmas Countdown - 2013

[sugar142286]

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!

Sounds yummy! Let us know how it goes!

Good afternoon everyone!

We're nearly a week into the Christmas Season. Much like the year, it's really moving along! Sorry I missed posting this morning. I was home. I didn't quite receive a call this morning. However, I took a much needed nap.

I don't really have any plans for this afternoon. I will probably just hangout around home and then go to the gym when Kim gets home. She'll join me, of course. We have some TV shows to watch tonight but I will also see if we can throw in a Christmas movie. There's so much to watch and so little time! We've only watched Home Alone 2 thus far!

Well, I hope that everyone has been enjoying their Tuesday. The second 'Pines Day of the Season is tomorrow! Looking forward to spending it with you all!

Merry Christmas!

Hope you guys have fun watching your Christmas movie!!

What Packer game are you going to again?

As most of you know, we are uber busy here with the remodeling. As I was going through some papers, I came across TWO cards from CM3, both of them polar bear ones. Here is what she wrote on the second one she sent: "Hi, Cherylle. It is only the MOST special people who get polar bear cards from me, and rarely has anyone gotten two within one year!! I hope you will like this book. It is one of my favorites, and I keep it near me all year long when I want to feel Christmas. If there are any times when you need Christmas near, just open this book and let the magic take you away, too. Merry Christmas in February with love, Luanne." Can you guess that I have tears in my eyes right now?

Love that, Seawaters. That is so Louann, sweet & thoughtful.
I'm sure that you will treasure them always.

I love Louann sightings, did you see the picture I posted eariler on here "a message from CM3? I had tears then too. She touched so many here, I miss her.

Yes she did! I have been thinking of her often. Especially while decorating my tree.

Good afternoon, Christmas family!

Camden update: he has an infection and has been put on some very strong antibiotics. He is also taking a bottle now - good appetite! He is a cutie, but so hard to see him hooked up to machines!

It is a gorgeous day here in mid-Michigan - sunny and cool. I ran a few errands in town earlier. Went to the Mission store and found a few items for the store - always happy when that happens. It really isn't easy to find things, esp. at this time of the year. That is why I only go hunting for merch. when I have other errands to run - that way if I don't find anything I am not too disappointed. There are chores waiting for me so I had best get going.

Be MERRY!!!

Continued prayers for Camden. Please keep us posted.

((Hugs))

Star- Hope you are feeling better!!

Meceka- Praying for Camden.

HMG- Hope your daughter feels better soon.

Holiday- The cornucopia looks great!!!

Brent- Enjoy the day off. Hope you get called tomorrow.

Seawaters- It's great to see you back!!! I was just getting ready to email you. Hope you had fun at the Eagle ceremony!!!

Ryan- That's a bummer about the cd player in your car!!!

Snowflake- Hope you had a great day at work buddy!!!! Tell Adrian that you will stop buying village pieces when I stop buying Santa's!!!!! xx

Sugar- Hope you slept great this morning!!!

LOL!! Good response, I will try it, buddy!!

Oh boy, can I relate to that....For me, It's the outdoor decorations! In particular, Blowmolds; I love them. Here I am, selling my house, packing and all, where you think, the average person would want to get rid of things. Nope, not me, I'm thinking about buying things, LOL...

I saw this Blowmold the other day at the store and It's been on my mind ever since. I want it!!!!! Now, I just have to figure out just how to purchase it and hide it where Lisa cannot see it or find it... "sneaky, sneaky, sneaky..."

I say go for it!! cheesy

It's a surprise housewarming gift ...

Ooooh! Good one!!

making a pot of chili for supper, hoping all the hot spice will kill off whatever is trying to invade me!

YUM!! I love chili, especially this time of year!! Hope it helps.

The Lear is fueled up and fired up and on its way!!! Now, who is going to do the cleaning?

I will help!! As long as there's Christmas music/movies on in the background, we can make it fun!

Getting very excited for Thanksgiving! Headed to Palm Springs, California a week from tonight to spend the holiday with my family from Minnesota who I rarely see. My grandma in Minnesota has a second house in Palm Springs that I haven't been to in years, so it will be nice to be back.

Have a wonderful time, threeyoda!!

:sparkle:

Thanks, Shellie!!! She took a 2 hour nap and when she woke up she was back to her old self. So the antibiotic is starting to kick in.

Glad to hear she's starting to feel better!

Good evening! Hope you're all having a good evening. Not much going on here. I'm just watching Hallmark. The kids are in the basement playing and DH is doing some work down there. It's coming along!

What are your plans for tonight? I will be laying down for nap here shortly. I work tonight. I am pretty tired this evening. I didn't sleep to well today, so hopefully a nap will be in store tonight.

Hope you all have a great rest of your evening! I'll talk to you all tomorrow! God Bless and keep smiling!
