Christmas Countdown - 2014

[HomemakinGirl]

Well Schools are canceled again tomorrow. Talk about an extended Christmas Vacation!!! They really should just go ahead and cancel for friday too and start fresh next week when the snow should be gone after a couple of days in the 50's and rain most of the weekend.

I'm curious to know how they make up all of those cancelled days. Our schools were closed for a whole week after Hurricane Sandy and most districts ended up taking the winter break away from the kids. They were so disappointed!

I hope your youngest daughter is better. Does she have a food allergy?

Thanks! No food allergies that we are aware of. The girls were tested for multiple allergies after I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. She was feeling better after she woke up and went in to work for a few hours this evening.

Good afternoon, MMC!

Busy evening ahead of me as I have lots of projects I need to finish. For some reason it seems colder to me today than it did yesterday and it is far warmer out - I have the heat turned up and am considering putting on an extra sweater. A hot cup of tea sounds good. If I have the time later tonight I am going to pick up watching where I left off on Downton Abbey and I am going to finish the scarf I have been knitting for the past few weeks. I need to start a new craft project!

Be warm/cool, safe and MERRY!

I hope you finish up your projects and still have time to relax! Keep warm Meceka!

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all keeping well today!

Talking about the weather with you yesterday, I'm at the other end of the spectrum. We're slated for 43C/109F next Monday. I would take the day off work and spend it with bubs in the pool but I've only just gone back. Would be nice though. We can dream can't we? Probably go in when I get home though. :-D

Oh my, stay cool JingleBellJames. It's good to see you!

Look what I found at our store and for only 25 cents a box!

Awesome, you can't beat that!

Got called in to work and boy was it busy! Glad for the hours as I missed some because of the storms.
With Elvis movies on all day it was hard to say yes to going in, but watching again "It happened at the Worlds Fair" is on right now.

I am tired so just going to relax and do nothing for awhile.

I hope you have a relaxing night Christmasstar!

Good afternoon all. This is my first post on the new countdown. The countdown will probably not be as fun for me this year. Our son graduates high school in June and will go off to college in August so I will be wishing time passes slowly.

Our family had a good Christmas but it was not the same without mom. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts during this time.

I have enjoyed the cold weather the last few days. Wish we would have gotten more snow but I will take our 5 inches. It was -6 when I left for work yesterday and 8 today. Sorry to say it will be in the low 50s by this weekend. Hopefully we have some more snow and cold weather before this winter is over.

Have a blessed day all.

I've been thinking of you. Happy New Year to you and your family. Stay safe and warm!

Hey friends!!

What are you up to?

Hope you're having a wonderful evening!

I am sitting by a fire with my two lives. Doesn't get much better than that!

I am sleepy, so may turn in early, after a trip to the Pines of course

((Hugs))

Hi Snowflake!
Sounds like you are having a wonderful evening. I think I'm going to turn in a bit early too, I'm just waiting for my daughter to get home from work. My middle one is starting a new job tomorrow and they want her in at 6:00 a.m. Boo! I'm going to wake up extra early with her.
Enjoy the rest of your evening!

Welcome back! I almost went up to the mountains last week, but the idea fell through. So far, we're planning a trip in mid-February.

That's exciting to look forward to!

I am done in! After working around the house all morning and then putting in five hours at work I am ready for a long winters nap.
Back to work in the morning good night!

Goodnight Star!

Whew!! Everyone is shoveled out and ready to go. Now to get some more stuff done around the inside of apartment.

So nice of you to do this for everyone. You have such a kind heart.

Well its lunch break so while I munch on my burger I have time to get online. It's snowing!!! We may get up to 4 or 5 inches by tomorrow night, then more is on the way on the weekend too! This is our first snow of the year so I am loving seein it fall out my window. I hope everyone is shoveling out and thawing out of the polar vortex! Other than that not much more to report here....I am keeping up my Christmas décor ar home at least through the end of the month I just can't bear to take any down while the snow is on the ground! Well have a great rest of the day folks I will talk to you more tonight!

Enjoy the snow! laying:

Happy Wednesday!

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes for my daughter with her wrist.

They ended up having to put her in a cast because they think she fractured her growth plate. She has to keep it on for 2 weeks then they will re-xray and if it shows that it is healing they know it is def the growth plate is fractured. They will cast her again for another 3 weeks.

At least it is a waterproof cast and she picked neon green.

It has been so cold her in CT..only around 18 today but will warm up to high 40's by the weekend. Crazy Weather!!

Have a great day everyone and stay warm!

Bummer. Sorry to hear it's fractured, but hoping it heals quick and she feels better soon. I love the cast she picked out!

Just a quick word here but I had asked for prayer and/or good vibes sent my way for my health. I am happy to say I am in good shape! It was a cyst that we were concerned about and it is benign!

I never want to be an alarmist or pessimistic and was going to wait for prayers IF I got bad news but figured that is a little too late to be asking for prayers. I needed them ahead of time in hopes it all turned out good! It is all good so thank you for prayers and good thoughts sent my way!

Merry On my Christmas Friends!!!!

Praise be to God! So happy to hear the good results! DH and I have been praying for you. God is good! (((Hugs to you and SIT)))!

I just saw on the AccuWeather website that the Northern Lights are supposed to be visible in parts of North America tonight ... possibly as far south as where I am! Click on the thumbnail for a map.

(How do you get the thumbnail image to show full size in your post? I think I've seen that done ...)

The complete article is here.

That is so neat! I hope you will be able to see them. I won't be able to here, that would be so neat to! Enjoy!
