Christmas Countdown - 2014

[made582]

Good afternoon,

I've been taking it easy today, cleaning up and relaxing. I was going to take down the 7.5 foot tree ( yes, it is still up) but I am feeling a little run down and my sinuses are acting up. I did get the room ready for taking it down though. It is only January 23, if I leave it for 10 more months I will be ready for next Christmas. cheesy
I finished "The Santa Suit" today, it was pretty good, now I am watching "Mickey's Christmas Carol," I can't believe I didn't watch this at Christmastime. I love this one!

I feel well enough, right now, to attempt to go to work tomorrow. My heart shudders just thinking about it, I have a Dr's note, they tell us to get one, and then say it is not good enough because anyone can get a Dr's note. Oh to be respected and appreciated. cheesy

I hope everyone is having a good day.

Glad you are starting to feel better and hope they don't give you any hassle at work tomorrow.

Hope the boss let's you leave the tree up a little bit longer!!!

Sorry to hear about your friend, sugar.

That is a great song.

She will be surprised when she gets home and sees the Santas form the other room in the main living room, they look great in here. cheesy

Good Thursday afternoon everyone. Sorry I've been away again.

We are enjoying wonderful weather in the mountains of NC. Temp was 11 when I left for work at 9:00 this morning and are expecting a low of 0 tonight. We have several inches of snow on the ground, the college where I work was closed yesterday and started 2 hours late today. Spent the day yesterday sitting by the fireplace eating snowcream. We can't drive up to our house so we park at the bottom of the mountain and walk up. May get some more snow Saturday. Forecast doesn't have us getting above freezing until Sunday afternoon (35). The long range forecast has us with below average temps for the next 15 days. If we can get a lot more snow, the weather will be perfect. I would like to not see the ground until March.

Have a blessed day everyone.

Good to see you! Have a great weekend...it's almost here!

Thanks, MC. I do save it sometimes, but I just wasn't felling up to snuff and did not pay attention to what I was doing.

I hope you are back up to snuff VERY soon. I hate to think of you feeling miserable.

Snow, I just saw on another thread what you're having for dinner tonight. What time do we eat? I'll be there!

Thanks for the prayers! I tried to post an update yesterday, but I kept getting kicked off this site!

Mom is doing well. She had a good nights sleep last night. They should hopefully be kicking her out of the hospital this morning. (Brrrrrrrr - she may not want to go out - ya right!) I stayed with her awhile last night, walked the halls with her...her phone rang non stop...I told her that's what she gets for having so many d*&# kids! Ha ha ha! She's a loved lady!

My FIL's surgery went well. He will get out of the hospital, coming closer to home, probably on Saturday for rehab at the nursing home. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery!

Good morning MMC! Hope you are all safe & warm!!!

Praying for a swift recovery for both of them. Stay warm!

Hey guys, just popping in before I start dinner. I am so hungry. Heavy rain and hail storm here today. It made the school run quite an adventure! It is colder than it has been , it makes me wonder if there will be some snow. I doubt it.

My youngest head butted me last night .....twice!!! So I have a very sore cheek and swollen lip....a bit like Janice from the Muppets.

I hope you all are coping through your very cold weather. Hang in there.

Have a pleasant , stress free day everyone!

That sounds like it would hurt, a lot! Hope you are feeling better soon and that you have had a pleasant and stress free day, too!

Good afternoon, Christmas family!

Busy day today, as always. It is good to be in where it is warm! Looking out my back window the snow is still a pristine white ~ so beautiful in the sunlight! I have chores to do and then I think I might tackle cleaning out my spice cupboard. I made spaghetti sauce earlier and was rummaging around in the cupboard, looking for items. Fresh herbs would be so much better, but I used the dried I had on hand and even remembered to add a bay leaf. Anyhow, the cupboard is a mess, but it was too late last night to do anything about it so today is the day. If I get organized now, it will be so much easier to do things later on in the year when I feel the crunch of trying to get everything in that I want to do at Christmas. At least, that is my goal. I figure if I start now, I just might have things ready in time for the season. Time permitting, I will work on crafts or read.

Be warm, safe and MERRY!

Good luck with the spice cupboard!

Hope you have some down time later for crafts or reading.

Good evening, Meceka! You are always so productive! Hope you can get all done what you want and still find time to relax later on. Enjoy your evening!
