My kids are crazy tonight. I think it's cabin fever. I need backup and quick!

My kids are too! Carl can watch them both!

Goodnight, all. I am off to take a nap before work. I will ttyt!

Hope you get a good nap and have a great night at work, Friend!!!!

A town in western Oklahoma has a rattlesnake festival. I don't know what y'all do at yours, but at ours there are folks who handle the snakes and go out hunting them to bring them back (alive) and see who gets the biggest one. That's crazy!!! Snakes scare me to death!

Hope you have fun at the parade!

Yep, they creep me out too.

Thank you. Poor thing..,someone was mean to her before we adopted her. She's a sweetheart and is happy and content now.

I know one should never say anything about a lady's weight but Holly has put on a few pounds. It seems to happen to all the dogs who join this family!

LOL, glad Holly is living the high life now! She deserves it, bless her heart. I just love her =)

Good Monday morning MMC! (almost afternoon!) I hope everyone had a great weekend! They just go too fast! It's a typical Monday around here. It's FREEZING again! Sooo ready for 30-40º weather! Am I asking too much? Ha ha!!
We ended up with about 3-4" of snow yesterday. Not as much as they were calling for, but Gracie loves it! She's a snow dog! And Buster says "OH NO! That &*^% white stuff again!"
I'm hoping to have time to read through some weekend posts. Bosses are bothering me though! :lol: Wishing you all a Merry Monday.

Hey Holiday!! Happy Monday!
Glad Gracie is loving the snow!

Those darn bosses...sheesh! Ha!

Well, I do not have kidney stones, thank goodness. We are not sure. I will be going in for x-rays to see if maybe something happened when I fell at the beauty shop. I have a feeling that is what is bothering me. With the house torn apart, we have to walk slowly in the house anyway, so now I don't feel so slow pokish since everyone else is slow! I might have to have minor surgery on my finger, the one that has the viscous discharge. The doctor thinks it is a cyst that is pushing against the nail bed. That is what is making a groove in the fingernail and causing the pain and discharge.

It is raining here and has rained for the past few days, but a miracle occurred yesterday when Hubby and Kane were able to frame the east wall--BIG YAY!!! I am so lucky to have a husband who is talented in the area of construction, and that is basically a hobby that he picked up along the way. His "real" job was as an engineer with the U.S. Forest Service designing roads and other things. His last few years, however, were spent maintaining forest property on the Mendocino.

I have a question: When I click on the Countdown link in my daily email, I am taken to the first page of Christmas Together. The Countdown "page" shows up as having been moved. Now I have to go to page two of Christmas Together and the Countdown keeps moving further and further down the list. Am I doing something wrong?

I am going to read some more posts before we head back to Chico to pick up some more supplies. TTYL

Hey Seawaters, glad kidney stones are ruled out. Praying that the x-rays will give you answers, so you can start healing!

Hope your finger starts feeling better soon, keeping you in my thoughts. Keep us posted about the surgery.

That's awesome that DH & Kane got the east wall framed! Woohoo!!

I'm having major homesickness today. Tomorrow is Kinkling Day, and I haven't had kinklings since before I left Maryland to get married. The only place to find them is in Frederick County around Shrove Tuesday. (They're a relative of the "fastnacht"---I have no idea how they came to be called "kinklings" locally.) I have a terrible case of nostalgia, thinking about those pillowy, sugary goodies.

I do have a recipe my dad sent me once, but no experience in making a dough that requires rising and frying in deep fat. I'd end up maimed or burn down the kitchen if I tried it.

Mmmm, they sound delicious =]

Thinking of you!

((Hugs))

[snowflake22]

Stay warm! Hope you're having a good day!

Thanks! Hope you've been having a nice day!

Good evening everyone! I hope you all had a nice beginning of another week. :] I completely lost the sense of time because I was so into preparing for my assessment - team debate on nuclear power - on Friday that I have completely forgotten about stopping by and saying 'hello' to you all. So rude of me, I know. Sorry about that. :/ Since my head is now buzzing of all nuclear power stuff, I am now listening for my Christmas music playlist on 'YouTube' (this is first time this year I am listening for it) and, surprisingly, doing some work on my Christmas-themed fiction. I got some inspiration suddenly and unexpectedly after reading other people's creations yesterday. My fiction doesn't have a title yet but I am sure I will think of something in the progress of writing. Also, I will try to finish it by this Holiday season. :]

Sending best wishes to all! *hugs*

Hey Victoria!

Good luck & have fun with your Christmas fiction! Sounds really cool.

Do you find writing it therapeutic?

My best girlfriend loves to write & create! That's her therapy.

Good evening, MMC!

Busy day today ~ went by fast! I did a quick skim of the posts ~ praying everyone is safe and well!

Merry dreams!!!

Merry dreams to you, dear friend!!

It really is. I love the snow but I'm ready for the seasons to change.

I agree! Love winter & snow, but it's been a brutal one this year. I yearn to be able to go outside again, and not have warnings.

On my way, too! Made is picking me up!! :smile:

Weather bummer, right?!

:-( She looked & sounded beautiful, as always!

Yes it is!!!

Though at 90 days, I wouldn't care as much. A below normal summer would be just fine with me. I could make up for some of these outrageous heating bills but not running the A/C. It showed us being back to normal by that time though.

I'm going to try and catch up on some sleep. I kept tossing and turning last night, not sure why. I can't keep my eyes open anymore so I will see you in the morning! I hope everyone is well and had a wonderful day. Enjoy the rest of your evening!
Goodnight!!!

Good luck with your writing.

If you want, you could always combine nuclear and Christmas to get this:
