Hey everybody!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

I had the best time yesterday when I walked into my local dollar store and all Christmas items were 90% off!! I got a slew of ornaments, lights, and fun stuff to be used next year. In all I paid $25 for almost $400 of Christmas goodies! Whoo Hoo!! (I love a good sale!) Now I just have to find a place to put it all and wait until next year to use it. What I don't use I give away and that's always fun too. However, it is also a reminder that Christmas this year is really over. But on the other hand God bless the three houses on my street that still have Christmas lights up!!

Now back to studying. Classes start next Monday for me....Statistics and Research Methods oh what fun ;P!!

Blessings everyone! Stay warm and stay safe!!

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a decent day here with a high of 38 degree's later today!! WooHoo!!! It doesn't look like we will hit the 50's this weekend how though. Oh well. I can handle the mid 40's. The school district my sister works for ended up canceling school this morning thankfully. It's sounding like the main roads are doing much better though. The secondary roads though are still some what of a mess and well, we won't even talk about the neighborhood roads. The rain and warm temps this weekend though should have them a lot better by monday. Not much on my agenda for today. Have a few things to do this morning and then this afternoon I'm going to try and kick back and watch the nascar practice from Daytona. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad your sisters district decided to close! Enjoy your day!

Thanks! Everything is just fine at home! Electric came back on just as I was walking out the door for work. The transformer fire was a couple miles down the road & they had it under control quick! THANK YOU volunteer fire fighters!!!

I'm happy everything is ok at home!
Your weekend plans sound like fun, have a great time Holiday!

Evening guys, just popping in quickly while the bath is filling up. Hope you are having a good day. It is night here so my day is winding down. Playing with the kids tonight and then after they are in bed we will watch a DVD of something. Looking forward to no school run in the morning although I will still be up early with my little peach.

Have a good night and weekend !

What app are you using? Is it an Android app?

It's on Android and I just did a search through Google Play and got one. I cannot find a specific name for it. It's very plain and I just put the date in and what it's for. I am looking for something a little fancier! I wasn't much help, was I?! =)

Nascar already?! I cannot believe how addicted I use to be to it and counted down the days, now I am clueless and had no idea it was already here. Enjoy!

I went to Bath and Body Works today and they are clearing out all the holiday candles with great clearance prices! I picked up 3 candles! I love those candles there. I know most people are Yankee candle fans but I tend to like the ones and Bath and Body Works better. Yankee are still good though!

MerryCarey, take care of yourself! Be sure to take some vitamin D and C! You know we don't get enough natural sunlight during the winter so we all lack vitamin D and it is very helpful for your immune system!

Trackrebel, I hope your kitty gets well soon!

LOL!!! No racing yet. Just preseason testing. There is still 5 weeks until the shootout and 6 until the Daytona 500.

Well it the warmer temps has turned everything to slush. So I just got done doing another round of shoveling. If I don't have to lift it again the rest of the season, it would be alright with me at this point. LOL!!!!

Feeling less like a cold is coming on, but feeling more tired. It's been a busy day---my eyes are dry and tired.

True---and my D is on the low side in spite of supplements. More hot chocolate needed! As for the C, had some extra OJ this morning.
