Christmas Countdown - 2013

[snowflake22]

Good Morning MMC!!!!!!! It's going to be a little bit warmer today with a high near 32. Hopefully it gets warmer than that. We haven't been above freezing in over a week. We are supposed to get another 3 to 6 inches of snow overnight and they are saying that it's going to be a heavy snow. Yuck!!! That's not what I need. I have way to much to do tomorrow and one of those things includes an hour drive each way to go with my sister and niece's on a polar express train ride. So I really don't need the roads to be bad. Thankfully there's not much on my agenda for today. I just need to do some things around the apartment and then run to the grocery. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Hope the roads stay safe for you guys!

Have fun on the Polar Express!!


((Hugs))

P.S. We've been in the teens for two days, now, and we are all considering this a warm front

My mom is going this morning for a sonogram to check for ovarian cancer. We had a family member who passed away from it years ago. I'll keep you updated when I know anything!

**Hugs & prayers for you & your Mom**
I'll be thinking of you guys.

Goooooopd Morning MMC!!!

Noah and I will be doing the lights on the house today and I have some more glasses to engrave. A friend asked me to make her daughter and daughter's fiance big steins with Steelers logo on one and Green Bay Packers on the other. LOL. So long as I'm not selling them... I'm safe from copyright infringement. LOL.

Carving some small primitive style cardinals for my mom out of a piece of that chestnut wood. She'll flip when she finds out what wood it came from. She adored my grandparents, her ILs. She thought my grandfather hung the moon. Heck... so do I.

Hope you all have a very productive, peaceful and beautiful Christmassy day!!

Well yes, lol. But I've lived in WI for most of my life
It's much cooler than La Crosse here, since it's further north. And crazy that we got so cold so fast...And it's not even "winter" yet! Been having below zero temps for a couple of weeks. Love the cold temps, but they are hard on Harlowe.

Hello all. I'm so far behind on the posts, but I hope everyone is doing great! Have a great Friday!

Made, I hope you're feeling better today...I saw where you weren't feeling great last night.

By the way, how is your foot?

Snow, are you all better? I know you were sick last week.

Hi everyone!
I was hoping it wouldn't be too hectic here today but is. I had a doctor appointment this morning (just an annual exam) and then I had to bring my middle one to the doctor because she is sick again. She has a horrible cough and was up all night. And she woke me up at 2:00 a.m. to tell me she couldn't sleep. Then I couldn't sleep. I listened to her cough until my alarm went off at 5.00 a.m. At least the doctor said her lungs sound clear. I guess it's just going to take some time to go away. Anyway,I'm just trying to catch up with all of my chores now. I wanted to make beef stew in the crock pot but I didn't have time to throw it together this morning. I'll have to make it on the stove top later.
I hope everyone is well and having a great day. I will pop back in later tonight!

Hello, Everyone! It's a beautiful, cold, clear, SUNNY day here in Maryland. I'm just waiting to get off work so I can decorate my Church some more. Can't stay on MMC too long today, 'cause it's right busy here. Many people with colds and virus are paying us a call. Take care, so you don't catch it too!

Well I just got my world rocked.

My husband called to tell me that our business partner wants out of the partnership. I used to run our entire business for about 10 years. I've had the last 3 years of someone else handling the bulk of it and its been such a blessing allowing me to focus on other things with Noah and my own business. This means that not only does it all fall back to me, but the expansions we've developed in the last 3 years as well.

Then he tells me that someone else that we work with has arranged a Vegas style show to take place starting in Dubai next summer, touring internationally and he's one of the performers on it.

Then he tells me that this same person has been working on a project revolving around the two of us moving to where he lives to become his partners in his business and that's about to come to fruition. This will also be taking place next summer.

The last two - I knew were possibilities as we'd discussed it in the past year, but the partner dissolution - that was new. It's kind of a lot to absorb in 20 minutes while your standing there feeling overwhelmed with Christmas lights in your hands. LOL

Oh my gosh! I don't know what to say but bless your heart! You are taking it better than I would that is for sure! Hang in there!

 

[MerryCarey]

Well today I decorated, got the lights that I needed for the house, finished all my Christmas shopping, wrote 3 blogs, did four loads of laundry, and watched a movie with my son after we had dinner together. It was good day!

I just want to say how much I appreciate this message board and being able to share the Christmas season with other people who are like-minded and love celebrating everything about Christmas.

I thought I was busy today, but your agenda has me beat!

Would love to see some of your work - homemade comes with extra love

I don't even have any photos because the ornaments were going on the office tree as I made them! I crocheted little wreaths, a miniature pair of mittens, a miniature hat, a snowflake, and a star. One of my co-workers thinks I should sell them on Etsy! I also started a miniature sweater, but it's a sleeve short of being finished. I found all the patterns online and saved them to use again.

Good afternoon!
We are without electricity, and have been that for almost 24hours!!!
And It's 28f outside!
We had a storm here yesterday.
And we don't know when the power is up again

Well hope YOU have a much better day! ❤

Oh, no---I hope the power is back on for you soon. Stay as warm and safe as you can. Please keep us posted.

Thanks, I am doing better today!!!

The foot is better. It still hurts if I walk a lot but I can make it through the grocery store and stuff like that without pain now.

Good afternoon everyone!

Just checking in for a quick moment. I don't think I will have an opportunity to do so at any other time today. I am currently on prep while supplying at the same high school I have been since Wednesday. I kind of like it. Again, it's nice to only drive 25 minutes. And, of course, it's nice to become familiar with the staff and students.

In regards to my time being minimal, I have to go to the gym as soon as I return home from work today. Then, more importantly, I will be achieving a childhood dream this evening. Ever since I was about five yeras old, I have wanted to see the Barenaked Ladies live in concert. From the first time I heard "Enid," I fell in love with the Canadian band. Nowadays, I still enjoy them, but not nearly as much as that five-year-old. I can honestly say that they were my first favourite band.

Anyway, this evening, Kim and I will be seeing the Barenaked Ladies at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Hits and Holiday Songs! As many of you know, their album Barenaked For the Holidays is one of - if not top - my top favourite Christmas albums. Seeing them play their Christmas songs live will be yet another dream come true. I can't wait!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday. We're really closing in on our big day. Of course, we're also so close to reaching single digits! Merry Christmas, everyone!
