Christmas Countdown - 2014

Seawaters · Feb 10, 2014

I love how memories sometimes come unbidden and are so clear that it is as if it were on "Yesterday."

This made me smile . What a magical memory to have. Both my parents are Beatles fans so obviously I am now a huge fan also. There is a song to narrate every chapter of my life. LOVE them!! I would have loved to experience the thrill of that original performance!!

Hey Made, I haven't been up to speed with all the posts, what's up with your plumbing? Having some problems?

Yeah, the kitchen sink has a clog in the line somewhere. The Maintenance man's small snake wasn't long enough to reach it and their bigger one was to big to go down the drain. He doesn't want to climb up on the roof either to run it down the vent stack.

Well I think the maintenance man is giving up on trying to fix my drain and is calling in a plumber. He's not in a very good mood this morning. LOL!!!!!

Happy New Week, everyone!

A busy Monday here---had to come in to work about an hour early. So I'm hungry already.

Another storm coming Thursday with lots of moisture, but they can't say yet whether it will be snow, rain, ice, or some combination.

That's it, nothing interesting going on!

Good afternoon, MerryCarey! Hope you have a great week!

Oh, I just watched the latest updated from the Weather channel and they just said that the south and then the mid-Atlantic is going to get thumped again.

Tuesday into Wednesday, the South is going to get all this ice. It appears that Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina is going to get all this Ice again and then on Wednesday into Thursday, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania is going to get a lot of snow....

Me, I'm liking the prediction of snow, but I don't like the ice.... This storm looks like that it might get a little interesting around here in the next few days! :razz:

Oh boy...thanks for the update!

Good afternoon, everyone! How are you all doing today? I'm well. I'm just a little tired today, but glad I had the morning to rest. Both of the kids didn't sleep well and were up by 4:30 this morning. DH went into work this morning, so the kids were scheduled for daycare and school, so I laid back down around 7:00 or so and slept some, then I got some things done around the house. I put some pizza dough in the oven and just pulled it out - smells great - I plan on making stromboli's for dinner.

How is everyone's else day going? What are your plans for the rest of the day? I am just going to relax and wait for DH and the kiddos to get home. I am back to work tonight, work for the next 4 days, and looking forward to the weekend!

Hope you all have a great day! God Bless and keep smiling!

Hey everyone...update on DH's cousin, that I told you about last week. She went to the neurosurgeon today. The doctor states that the "tumor" is just a cyst, but just enlarged, so he wants to watch it over a year with MRI's. As for the lumps she has on her lymph nodes, he wants an ENT to investigate those and biopsy those. Continued prayers please until we know for sure until what is going on with her lymph nodes. Thanks for your prayers so far!

Merry evening to all!

Seminar preparation went well. Luckily, there wasn't that much reading to do as there was in previous two weeks. ^^ Had a nice chat with my mum about politics. Don't judge me - there is presidential election coming in May and it seems that the fuss about it is getting bigger in the country. We don't talk about political issues very often but I place many expectations into this election. Although I am still going to be in Scotland on that time, I am going to fill in on-line application form at the embassy's website so I could vote by mail. And surprisingly I also received a letter from local council earlier today saying that I am eligible to vote in Scottish Independence referendum in September! That was really unexpected because I thought that only Scottish citizens can vote. It seems that I now have to do some background research about all this independence issue. ^^

Sorry for bringing up so many political issues tonight.

I think I might go to sleep a little earlier tonight. I have lately spent my evenings reading too long and not being able to wake up in mornings on time.
I wish everyone a cozy evening!
