Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Holiday]

Prayers, please, for a young mother who is a custodian at my school. She has stage 4 breast cancer that is now showing up in her bones. So sad for her two young sons.

Prayers going up. I hate cancer.

Good evening!
I was able to go shopping again today. I crossed a couple of more gifts off my list. A little bit every day and it will get done. I am exhausted. I must be getting old. Shopping never use to make me this tired. I also ended up with a headache from testing out perfumes for the girls. Thankfully it doesn't hurt anymore. Well I'm going to get some sleep.
See you in the morning!
Goodnight and sweet dreams!!!

Hey HMG! You run around like a crazy woman...it's ok to be tired. :lol: Nice to cross things off your list! I'm hoping to do the same tomorrow...and cross a few things off the "for us" list too. Lol!

My heart hurts just thinking about what she is going through. She and her family will be in my prayers. I believe in miracles and I hope that she gets one!

I think I am going to head up and read for awhile too.
Good night everyone!

Good night, CS! Sleep well and sweet dreams!

Congrats on getting some more of your shopping done! LOL I know your pain with the perfume. My mom and I were looking at some today and this horrible one accidentally sprayed all over me. My nose burned from smelling all of them. Good night! Sleep well and sweet dreams!

I'm watching the live broadcast of "The Sound of Music" this evening. The sets are huge, and it's interesting to see how it's directed. It's going very smoothly.

I forgot that was on tonight! I am glad things are running smoothly.

Greetings friends from chilly middle America.

Hi, Bullypup! Nice to see you!!

Hello friends. I'm snowed in, or I should say iced in, at a hotel. Busy day but safe in my room. Hope y'all are doing great.

Well folks, I am off to bed since I see a long day of shoveling ahead of me tomorrow.

Goodnight, Everyone!!!!!

Good night, Made! Get a good night's sleep! Sweet dreams and I hope you sleep well. Please taking it easy when you shovel tomorrow, especially if it's heavy from ice and sleet! Take plenty of breaks and stay hydrated.

Good evening,

It has been a long day here, never take 2 kids Christmas shopping with you if you want to stay sane.

You were all quite busy today, I had nearly 20 pages to get caught up on. I was planning to stop halfway, but kept going and got caught up.

I hope you all had a good day, I have to be up in 5.5 hours to head to work. Soooo....


...good night, everybody!!!

Sorry to hear that Christmas shopping was hectic! Everyone was chatty today - I had quite a time catching up! I hope you sleep well! Don't work too hard tomorrow!

It feels so good to have a little time to post & catch up with all of you here!!!

I totally agree with you, Holiday! It's so nice to see you!!

I watched & enjoyed it too. I was so happy to watch the 1st 1 1/2 hours of it with my Mom - my sis & I put up her Christmas decs tonight & then we watched the 1st part of the movie together. (I watched the ending at home) Such great memories of watching the original with my Mom - it's one of her favorite movies!!! :smile: I thought Carrie Underwood did a great job as "Maria" (How do you solve a problem like Maria...) :smile: When she(Maria/Carrie) left & came back & had her hair down & straight - I just didn't think that looked like her at all! Still beautiful, but I didn't think it looked like her!!

The snow is coming down pretty good now!!

Oh boy...keep it pretty snow, not nasty snow so we can come visit tomorrow!!!!

Hi, everyone! I am finally caught up - on today at least! You are all in my thoughts and prayers, even though I haven't found much time to post lately. I finished my last assignment for school yesterday so now I have all of the free time in the world, for the most part!

I was trying to reply for literally an hour and a half and it kept redirecting me to another page. I could not figure out what the problem was until I accidentally only pasted in part of my post when I went to try again. Then I realized that there were three greater than symbols in a row somewhere and that was the cause of the problem. Weird, huh? Took them out and the post went through just fine!

It is very late so I am going to go brush my teeth and get ready for bed. We are supposed to get some terrible weather overnight and tomorrow. The news channels are saying that it is going to be extremely icy and bad out for the morning rush here. If you can please pray for my dad and brother - my dad is on the road all day long and my brother has a long commute to work. Luckily my mom and I ran our errands today so we can stay at home and relax!

Good night, everyone!!!

 

[Holiday]

I agree - more time in the day would be great! I hope that you just get snow and no ice. Ice is never good! Happy birthday to your sister! I hope that she enjoyed her milestone day! I am sure that St. Nick will find them!!

Thanks! She was pretty confident he would find them too!!! :smile:

Hope you are doing well!

Hope it doesn't get as bad (ice) as they say it's going to! Prayers for your Dad & brother going up! You all stay safe!

Ok guys, I am having a terrible decision to make here. My hubby (and I) have been wanting a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier for quite awhile. I always said I wouldn't get one until Buster is no longer with us. I just don't want to do that to him. He is almost 18 years old & to bring in a crazy pup, I'm just not sure. BUT Soft Coated Wheatens are hard to come by around here. The place we would probably get one from is 3+ hours from here & they have 1 female left from the last litter. The owner is hoping for another litter in 4-5 weeks, which would mean they would be available sometime in March. Buster is doing ok. He's just old - his back end/hips are starting to wear out & I hate it & I don't know how much longer he will be with us! Hopefully for awhile yet, but no guarantee's - he's 18!! Anyway - I thought about buying this pup, taking a day off work to go get it, (without the hubby's knowledge) & having it here when my hubby gets home from work (which his work has been grueling the last few weeks & I know it would put a big smile on his face!!) - I have no doubt that he would be SO excited & then his next look/question is going to be "2 dogs? really???" :lol: One advantage to getting it now is that hopefully it will be trained - or close to being trained before we start remodeling our house in late spring/early summer. 2 disadvantages are - I don't know what this would do to Buster & if the pup gets attached to Buster & then he passes on....we have a sad pup! Right now I am "babysitting" for my friends dog while they are on a cruise & my sisters dog (the birthday girl who is at the Biltmore) & he is OK with them being here. But they are both older dogs, so they are not crazy!! He doesn't love it that they are here, but he doesn't make much of it. So ???? Animal lovers - chime in with your thoughts/ideas please!

Here is a pic of the Wheaten that is available yet:


You are the 1st people that I have told that I am even thinking about this!!! Lol!

That being said - I probably won't be back on until Sunday or hopefully Monday at the latest, so you all have a WONDERFUL CHRISTMASSY weekend!!!

Hello Made, no snow yet but it's supposed to be here by morning. Might have a slippery commute. Have a great Friday!

You already know in your heart what you MUST do. You will be so happy with your decision.

Thanks, Xmas. It has been soooo cold the past two days. hopefully that is a good sign!

I hope that holds and you get your snow, Seawaters!!!

 

[Seawaters]

LOVE it!

The snow is coming down pretty good now!!

 

[Seawaters]

Thanks, Xmas. I, too, feel for her kids, especially at this time of year. Her husband is going to need a lot of strength, too.

Thank you to all of you for your prayers.

She and her kids are in my thoughts.
I really feel for the kids, my mother passed away in her mid-thirties from breast cancer.

 

[Seawaters]

Xmas and Snowflake, I read that marshmallows help a sore throat! Really!

I have had a lot of the same symptoms the last few days.
It is the reason I am waiting to call in my Holiday greetings, this morning I sounded like Bane from Dark Knight Rises. cheesy

[Seawaters]

You are so right about that, MC! What, almost five years I've been praying for snow and begging all y'all to send me some of yours, LOL!!!

I'm so happy for you! You've been wanting snow for a long time! I hope it comes!



That would be great!
The photo doesn't make it very clear, but I don't have an office. It's an open space with desks---not even cubicles. (You can see some of the clutter of the person who sits in front of me.) I've mentioned before that the building is over 100 years old and was originally a clock factory.

 

[Seawaters]

Thanks, Made. I am so thankful that we can come to MMC and post something like a prayer request and have members respond like this!

My prayers are on the way.

 

[Seawaters]

Thanks, Star.

that is so hard, will be praying for the whole family.
