Christmas Countdown - 2013

[sugar142286]

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It's going to start cooling down here today too and it looks like we have a slight chance of rain. Then the cold really arrives this weekend with the high sunday only being in the 20's. It was a long night here. Mom had been slowly getting back to normal all day yesterday but took a turn for the worse around 9 last night. It was like she was starting to have another attack. She refused to go back to the ER though. So I made her take her anti clot med and some aspirin and just watched her all night. She never got any worse and thankfully this morning she is pretty much back to normal. She just still has a bit of a headache. I'm exhausted though because I didn't sleep at all. So nothing big on the agenda for me today. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Still praying for you and your mom. I know it must be so scary what she's been going through. If you need anything, you know where I am.

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday! Sorry I didn't get to respond to all the posts I wanted too - I'm running out of time! It's quitting time! YAY!!! Hubby is on vaca today so I'll go see what he's up too!

Last night I browned the sausage sautee'd the onion/celery for sausage dressing & then I mixed it together & froze it. The less I have to do next week, the better! The house smelled SO good! I also cleaned the basement & dusted our bedroom(they wil put their coats in there) & cleaned the aquarium....I'm crossing things off my "to do" list! :smile:

Tonight we have an engagement party, tomorrow morning I am going to small town/old fashioned type Christmas open house shopping with the lake girls! Hubby is going to the football game tomorrow night - I MIGHT put up my tree?! Sunday we have my FIL's side Thanksgiving. There goes the weekend!

Ok, I'm outa here. Hope you all have a WONDERFUL Friday!!!

Very busy weekend! Enjoy yourself! Sounds like a lot of fun!

Good morning!
Today is my oldest daughter's 20th birthday! I can't believe it. Where did the time go?
We will all be going out for an early dinner to celebrate her birthday. Then the girls will be going in to the city with a group of their friends to see a concert.
I need to get moving soon. I have to get my food shopping done, I have nothing in the house!
I hope everyone is well and has a very happy Saturday!

Happy Birthday to your daughter, friend!!

We sold just under 300 turkeys alone on Thursday, we were nearly at 100 when I left work today, I am guessing 200-250 tomorrow. My body is tired and sore from all the lifting.

I am going to bed now.


Good night, all.

Thoughts and prayers are with you my friend.

Panic attacks are no fun, we have a very popular morning newscaster that suffers from that and has talked about it a few times. Here is link to his interview if you would like to read it http://www.citynews.ca/2006/07/12/kevin-frankish-dealing-with-panic-attacks/
I will be praying for you.

I'll keep you in my prayers friend.

After spending my last weekend working on my habitat survey, I'm going to relax this time. I haven't been reading at all lately and I missed reading so much! So I'm going to start 'The cat who came for Christmas' by Cleveland Amory today. Has anyone read this book before? I bought this two years ago but haven't read it yet. As Holiday season is approaching quickly, I thought it's the best time to dig in the book! ;]

Best wishes to all!

Enjoy your weekend of rest and relaxation!!!!

It's supposed to get here later tonight!!!

My daughter needed to go shopping, discovered they have not yet put anything on the roads and wow are they slick!
I am waiting in van since I have no shopping to do and really did not feel like going into work. Right now the snow has stopped but more is coming, very windy.

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's going to be a cold day here with some rain and snow moving in tonight. Alot of stuff to get done today. Need to run to the grocery, wrap my aunt's gifts, then head out to my sister's house to get ready for my aunt's birthday party tonight. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Be safe, Star! We've been lucky in Ottawa thus far. We're forecasted to only receive 1cm of snow today and nothing else until Monday! Drive safe!

Good morning everyone! 11 Days into the Christmas Season!

It's our second weekend of the Christmas Season and times are flying by! As mentioned, I had no work yesterday due to having to take my car into the shop. Thankfully, it was only $259 with tax. I couldn't afford much more, so I am thankful for that. Hopefully I'll receive at least four calls next week to help pay for that another other debts that I may currently have!

It appears to be a nice day in Ottawa. A little bit of snow is on the way, but not as much as the southern part of Ontario. Kim and I have to drive to Cornwall this morning. It's her nephews' 7th birthday. They are twins. They are getting big, too! Nearly closer to 10 than 5. It should be a fun time filled with food and festivities. We're returning tomorrow morning and the forecast looks good for then, too. Lucky for us!

Yesterday, Kim and I went to the mall. Unfortunately, we went to the same mall (St. Laurent Centre) which I have already photographed. Kim needed to go to Toys 'R Us to purchase gifts for the birthdays today, so we couldn't really go to another mall. Oh well! I think we'll be able to stop into the Rideau Centre next weekend. I don't yet believe there are any plans.... I'll make sure to add that stop to our schedule!

Well, I should be off. We are hitting the road shortly. Hopefully Kim enjoys the Christmas music we'll be listening to throughout the drive! I know I will. Have a great Saturday, everyone! Merry Christmas!!

Well it looks like a very cold one tomorrow here in North Jersey - they're calling for a high of 27, 20mph winds, and snow showers. I'll be in and out all day though setting up the Christmas lights before I leave for the warmer weather of Southern California for Thanksgiving on Tuesday!

so good to see you back again!
Our city is lighting up tomorrow with our annual festival of lights and Santa Claus parade. There will be hot chocolate, carols around the tree and almost everyone will be holding candles as they walk to downtown from the river. We have more and more folks come out for this every year.

Good Saturday morning, my Christmas friends!

The Nutcracker was beautiful! Elizabeth has three parts: a rat in the battle scene, the head of the Chinese dragon, and a snowflake in the snow scene. I have to say, I'm not easily brought to tears, but seeing her dancing in the snow scene made my eyes well up with tears. She was so beautiful!

We have another show tonight, and an afternoon show tomorrow.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

 

[sugar142286]

Thanks, buddy!!!

I hope I can too. Another long day tomorrow with my aunt's 60th birthday.

((Hugs))
