Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! It's cold here this morning where we currently stand at 3 degree's with a windchill of -9. Brr!!! They are talking about another major storm this weekend too. Right now they think it's going to be a major snow storm here but the track may shift north and we could see a lot of ice. Yuck!!! I want to run away!!! My neighbor's granddaughter finally got rebooked on a plane coming in this afternoon, so I will be at the airport too. I'm thinking that I can just hop on a plane headed south while I'm there. Hmm, decisions. I guess I better go get my chores done before I head that way just in case. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay warm! Hope they are wrong about the storm this weekend!
 
Good morning MMC! Happy Hump Day & Happy Pines Day! The main boss is gone this morning so it really is a happy day!!! :D It is bitter cold again this morning, but the sun is shining bright as can be! It looks deceiving from the inside looking out! After work I think I'm going to run to the grocery store, looking for jumbo pasta shells. The store I went too last night didn't have them & I bought everything else to try a new recipe - Mexican Stuffed Shells. I'm planning to bring Gracie along & drop her off at my sisters while I go shop. The vet says that's the best thing you can do to socialize a puppy & make them trust other people. She hasn't seen her yet & was planning to come over tonight anyway, so this might work great! Anyway - I hope you are all having a great morning so far! Enjoy your day!!

And with that, I leave you with this "Photo of the day" (I know, you're probably tired of seeing pics of this little pooch!) :-P



This is my favorite one yet! Trust me, I never get sick of animal photos! Keep sharing! Hope you're having a great day! Happy Pines Day!
 
Good early evening everyone! I just got home from work and am already in bed, I just feel bad from head to toe. The weather is crazy this week. tomorrow looks like rain with a high of 52! The snow sure won't last long now in my back yard it's almost gone anyways. The rest of the week highs are in the low 50's with nothing but rain with a little snow mixed in with no accum. at all. Maybe the spring is here in the west! I am laying here with my beloved dogs and I am going to miss them much it brings a tear to my eyes! They are not like humans and I worry they think I am abandoning them when I leave like this. I still have not got supper on maybe in the next hour or two I will get up!!! talk to yall soon1

Sending hugs and prayers your way!
 
I forgot to tell yall that Brandi has found a teaching job next fall at a catholic school. And since we are catholic well that's great! The pay is a little lower than public education but we do alright without her working so anything extra is great. The only problem is that I will not be home until late sept and she starts the first of August. So we are planning on hiring a sitter for 8 weeks until I get home. I can always ask for the 4 to midnight shift and that way I will be at home during the day and we cat switch off so to speak!
So she will be a single parent for 6 months and the last 2 will be very hard I have to give it to single parents out there, or at least the ones that make it on their own. It's a very hard job I don't see how many women work full time and come home and still have all that work on front of them. Hopefully their partners are pitching in is all I can say!!! Anyway I think I am just going to fry the fish and eat then hang out here...wait I think survivor is coming on tonight it's the premiere! I have to watch that! talk to yall soon!
 
So, I've been watching some of the Tonight Show trying to give Jimmy Fallon a chance. He is alright but I miss Jay. Anyway, MerryCarey, I keep thinking of you because Fallon really looks like Busyer Keaton. I looked it up online and I'm not the only one who sees it. Any of y'all see it, too?

LOL...I have no idea who the other guy is, but Fallon looks a lot like him.

Congrats to Brandi!! That is wonderful, dawg.
I am Catholic, too. And went to Catholic grade school & high school, loved it.

So happy for her!!

Love, prayers, and blessings go you all during your time away, friend.

Thank you again for your service.

Godspeed.

Good Wednesday (Pinesday!) afternoon, my Christmas friends!

It's wet and cool today, but that's ok. We need a little rain now and then, too (as my mom reminded me this morning).

Lulu is still feeling much better, and we're all relieved. Here's a picture of her posing for last Christmas' card:

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good evening, Brad! Glad to hear Lulu is continuing to improve. She is just so cute!
 
Good evening!
Home again, relaxing and just kicking back. Going to the Pines to see what everyone is up to and what Carl is planning.

The Subway I worked at before starting where i am now is under new management. Old manager fired for basically running the place into the ground.
New manager called and would very much like me to come back as they need some good working reliable people there. I said yes, but only days and I would keep my current job as well. She agreed to this. So soon I will be working there too which means I will have full time hours between the two places. Time will tell if I survive it! There will be many positive changes which is what the place really needs.

Okay, yes, I have to agree with you now, MerryCarey, doesn't look like Fallon at all!

Good afternoon friends! I am on a new computer at work and the keyboard is way too small. So if I make more errors than normal that's why..Although I do have auto correct!lol. Anyways I am trying to decide what to eat tonight for dinner and I think I want tilapia filleys in grits. I love my grits! Anywhere above North Carolina I found people don't really eat them like us deep south ppl do. I like them with butter and salt and pepper and I add the fish fillet do them. I know that is not common at all but I like it! Other than that it's a slow day and I just can't wait for the weekend! it will be my last one at home until Sept so I really want to just around the house and spend time with my family while I can! I was thinking that the boys will have grown a lot in the 6 months I am gone but I have so much to look forward too this next holiday season 2014 I will be 40 and that does NOT make me happy at all but so I plan to just gloss over that the best I can to offset the anxiety of turning 40 I just want this next holiday to be the greatest. and I know it will be! Anyways everyone enjoy the rest of your work day! it's almost over in a few hours!

Hope you enjoy your evening. Thinking of you.
