Oh my, this shot seriously made me laugh.

Thank you for sharing.

Good evening everyone and happy Friday too! I am kinda ashamed I abandoned the forum lately but the past couple of weeks were crazy at the uni! Fortunately, my two major assessments have been already submitted (I feel that scientific article went better than I had expected but I will see what grade I will get) and although I still have three more assignments to do, I expect things to go a little easier so I should be able to come here more often.
Anyway, I hope you all are doing great. I can't believe that it is first day of calender spring tomorrow! I am looking forward to spring for the reason I don't know. ^^
Best wishes to all!

Hi, Victoria ~ hope things settle down for you at Uni and there is more time for you to relax! Have a great weekend!

Good evening, MMC!

Where has the day gone? I haven't made a dent in my to-do list so that means I will be working on it this weekend. At least I will be busy! cheesy

It is another very cold day here in mid-Michigan, but it is warm inside so all is good.

Have a MERRY weekend!!!

I finally decided to drink the coffee through the stir sticks.

Hey, don't laugh; it worked!

At least you got your coffee hit! It's serious stuff when you can't have a coffee!

I'm out shopping for a camping chair. I'm pretty short and very fussy. I have plonked my butt into so many seats for the last 2 months that Mr is getting annoyed with me. Some I like but I don't like them enough to spend $100.

I would have done the same thing, if I had to.

TGIF, my Christmas friends, and Happy Milestone Day!

I get into some of the craziest problems. This morning, after breakfast, I was sitting on the couch watching TV for a minute. I have a bad habit biting my fingernails, and while doing this I scratched my lip with a hangnail. IT WILL NOT STOP BLEEDING. The blood thinner I take certainly does it's job well. Ugh.

I have a fresh pot of coffee made, and can't find a way to drink it. LOL

Oh, the messes I get into.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Happy Milestone Day, Brad! Hope you're having a good day. Hope you got that bleeding stopped not much longer after you made this post.

Good evening, HMG! What ever you decided to do today, hope you're enjoying it! Hope you're daughter feels better soon.

Thanks Sugar. The doctor put my daughter on an antibiotic for her ear infection, I'm hoping it helps her soon!

Good evening, everyone! I just wanted to say hi quick, as I got caught up on some of the posts, but will get caught up on the rest here later tonight.

The kids and I are headed out to dinner with my parents, sister, and nice and nephew. DH is working, so it's time out with them. Once I the kids home, we're going to sit in front of the fire, make some popcorn, drink hot chocolate, and watch a movie! We're planning a sleep over tonight too!

Hope you're all enjoying you're day! I will check back later on tonight. Talk to you guys then. God Bless and keep smiling!

Sounds like fun, have a great night!

THEY CAUGHT HIM!!!! I am SO excited! BUT it was a kid that lives in the same subdivision as us! UGH! This lady, step son, & son moved into town a few years ago & they have been nuttin but trouble! (but nothing THIS serious before) He is 18 & he is in jail! Comparing the picture of the guy who stole the truck from the park & this kid they arrested, it looks really possible that it's the same guy! I sure hope it is!!!! It would make perfect sense b/c he lives by the park the 1st truck was stolen from! What a dumb _ _ _!!! (sorry)

So glad to hear they caught him!

Don't apologize! I agree!!! Grrr...
So glad they caught him, praying this is an isolated incident.

I will continue to pray for your friends parents, such a scary ordeal.

I remember when our home was broken into in Vegas, and I came home to it. I was so scared to shower or be alone after that, in fear of them coming back. I had panic attacks, especially when Adrian was out of town. That's when I took a handgun safety class, went to the shooting range for practice, and bought a firearm.

It finally stopped, and now I have a scab on my upper lip. Nice. LOL

Thanks!

Glad to hear it, Brad. Hope it's not too uncomfortable.

Have a nice weekend, friend.

Good morning MMC! I'm trying to catch up on posts, but not sure if I'm going to be able to get to them all, so I'll say HELLO ~ Happy Friday!!! Looking forward to getting off work at noon today! Hopefully we can work on the potty training thing with Gracie this weekend!!! Any tips? We might have to take the blanket out of her crate so she stops going in there. It soaks it up & I don't think she cares!!! The bells to hang on our door (poochie-bells) should be delivered today! Hopefully she can figure this out!!! She always goes outside,,,but she will go inside too! Little booger! We went to my sisters work yesterday afternoon, then to Mom/Dads, then to my brothers, then friends came over to see her last night - she slept alllll night until 6am, but then she had tinkled in her crate. Hmmmm!
Friends are coming over tonight - they are bringing BBQ Chicken pizza for supper. Their girls want to see Gracie. Lol! Looking fwd to it! Tomorrow afternoon I am meeting lake neighbor ladies for one of the girls birthdays. We are going to a place famous for their wings! Looking fwd to that too! I think those are the only plans for the weekend!
We are under a winter weather watch starting tomorrow night through Monday afternoon. It says In excess of 6" snow along with significant ice. UGH! Keep the ice please!! I would rather have 12" of snow!!!!

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!!!!

Have fun tonight!! And tomorrow night with the neighbor ladies!! Mmmmm, wings!! =)

Good luck with Gracie and potty training! The only advice I have is find a treat that she loves (I used a small, soft training treat for Harlowe) and ONLY gave them to her when she went potty outside. I had them in my pocket, and immediately praised her & gave her special attention. But just be consistent about it, between you and your hubby, doing the exact same thing =]

Adrian bought the bells, but Har would just scratch on the patio doors to get to the backyard, lol.

Stay safe & warm in the snow!

:hi:

Good luck with the potty training with Gracie. We didn't do anything really special with Ella. We would just take her out frequently and it just clicked with her quick. I guess we were just lucky.

You're weekend sounds like a lot of fun. Happy Birthday to your friend! Stay safe in the weather. I'll be thinking of you.
