Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Good morning,

Work beckons in about a half an hour, guess who doesn't want to go?

I will hopefully get home by 8:30 tonight, go back tomorrow morning, and then go to an AHL hockey game tomorrow night.

My wife won the tickets yesterday, so we get to see the Springfield Falcons play the Adirondack Phantoms. The boys, and myself are very excited about the game. The Falcons are one of the best teams in the AHL this year and it has been 5 years since we have gone to a game.

I must start to get ready for work, I hope you all have a good day.

See you all tonight!

Hope work is going much better that expected! :-D

Have fun at the game tomorrow night!

I am so relieved, it snowed again last night! There was great concern here that we had actually come to the end of the snow for the season.
But it is still coming down!

Thanks!

Harley has a rough life!

He has his own room with his own tv. I'm not making it up...he likes to lay on the bed in the room when my aunt and uncle are gone (that's if they go somewhere he can't go...but he usually rides with them). They leave the tv on so he can watch Animal Planet.

Poor guy has a very hard life!

Haha! Love it.

We leave the Animal Planet on for Har when we aren't home, too!

Good idea for carrying a little bit of Christmas with you. :] I use to get excited about new glasses too!



Thank you. Although I don't think the reason is being far away from family. It was my own decision to leave Lithuania and I don't feel sorry for it. Instead, I believe there must be something else which I am fully aware of.

Good afternoon everyone! Happy Rudolph day too! :# It's a perfect excuse to watch a Holiday movie and listen some Christmas music which is exactly what I am doing right now. ^^

Thanks to all for your kind words of support. They truly mean a world to me. <3

I've just had my viva (oral assessment discussing my essay with my tutor). I haven't received my grade yet but it seems to be the highest one I have received this semester. It surprised me actually because I find the subject to be the most complicated of all I'm doing. Strange, isn't it?

I hope everyone is having a nice day and will be able to enjoy something-Christmas too. :]

Congrats! Hope you did very well!

Good morning! Happy Rudolph Day! Anyone watching something Christmassy today? Maybe tonight I will get a chance - we'll see. They are calling for snow today, so would be a great day to watch Christmas!

Hope you all had a great weekend. Our soup sampling was a hit. Everything was so good! Saturday I made 6 pie crusts - made fresh strawberry pie with 2 of them & froze the other 4! Now I'm ready for fresh berry/pie season! We grilled out last night - green onion brats & baked taters on the grill. OMG - so good! Can you tell I'm getting spring fever?? Lol! Really bad spring fever!!

And here's Miss Grace - she went for a visit to my sisters yesterday afternoon.


Have a fantastic Rudolph Day everyone!
:Rudolph:

Love Gracie! She is so cute! ^^ And yes, I watched 'The Holiday' to celebrate Rudolph Day. (I love Kate Winslet's accent. If I had one, I would probably never shut up.)

Gosh, it's been over a week since I was here. Our new laptops and programs were delivered at work, and I have been a busy little bee. Hopefully now is all settled, and life can return to normal. Meanwhile, hello from new-computer land!

Welcome back!

Good evening! I am now doing some online research about the symptoms I have been experiencing time to time for over a year now and I am thinking of booking an appointment with my GP here. I think I will feel better if I go and see a professional. (I try to stay away from doctors as much as possible but sometimes they truly are the only choice.)

Anyway, hopefully everyone is enjoying Rudolph Day.

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! It's snowing!!!!! We are not expecting a lot, just a dusting to an inch. It's definitely cold out and windy out there though. Lots of running to do again today. My sister in Seattle is taking the kids to Disneyland for a week. They leave next wednesday and she just realized that my nephew has no shorts that fit him or thin pants for when it gets colder at night there. She looked at her walmart yesterday and couldn't find any so she has me running all over town to try and find him some and get them shipped to her. Fun. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Good afternoon, buddy!!

So sweet of you to help your sis like that! You are always so thoughtful!
Hope you were able to find some clothes for your nephew!

xx

:-D

You are a good brother...and a good son! Hope your Mom is doing well! Good luck shopping!

I agree!! :thumbsup:

My daughter just sent this to me. I thought they were cute!

Adorable & delicious looking, CAH!!

She was whooped last night!





(I just noticed it looks like she's been drinking Bud Light! LOLOL! She loves that cup! Has been playing with it since St. Paddy's Day! Notice all her other toys in the background that get drug out every single night as well! Dogs! : -)



Have a fantastic Rudolph Day everyone!

:Rudolph:

I watched Christmas movies all day yesterday to celebrate. Stay safe in the snow!

Glad to hear your soup sampling was a hit! Everything sounded delicious!

Gracie is sooo cute! She is really growing!

For Rudolph Day my granddaughter picked out A Christmas Story to watch.

 

[snowflake22]

Just took this, snowing like crazy again

Pretty!! But time for it to go, too! LOL!! :%

Hey MerryBells! Hope you're enjoying the new computers!!

:lol:

Well I managed to successfully find 3 pairs of shorts and 3 pairs of pants for my nephew. It just took going to every single store that sells clothes on the east side of Indy. You wouldn't think that finding pants on a day when it's snowing outside would be so hard but it was. Everyone is ready for spring and all they have left are jeans which my sister didn't want. I have also decided that I need to start a paving company. I don't think that there is a single parking lot out there that doesn't need work done to it after this last winter. Now I'm off to try and get some stuff done around the apartment before I have to go pick mom up from work.

I've read all of your posts and hopefully will have some time to respond to them tonight. If not, maybe Thursday. Tomorrow is going to be a lot more running.

Glad you found some, buddy!!

I've got a bunch of subcontractors & rental companies on call if you need some help starting up with your paving company, lol.

Good afternoon, Snowflake! Hope you're having a great day!

Happy Ruddy Day to you too!

Good afternoon, sugar! Hope you're having a great day as well!
Mina has been nice!

Love Gracie! She is so cute! ^^ And yes, I watched 'The Holiday' to celebrate Rudolph Day. (I love Kate Winslet's accent. If I had one, I would probably never shut up.)

It sounds like being proactive and seeing your doctor is the right thing to do. Wishing you luck and sending my love! Harlowe is also sending you ((Hugs))

Awesome! She has GREAT taste!! cheesy

It took a while, but we seem to be back to normal!
I was afraid one of the workmen would mess with the louvers near the ceiling, but they didn't. A couple months back they were finally adjusted so they wouldn't blow cold air over me all day, and I didn't want to go back to that!

I'm glad its back to normal, it stinks to be uncomfortable like that.

I'm happy you had a successful shopping trip. Hope you're able to relax after all of that running around!

Good afternoon, HMG! Stay safe in the snow and stay warm as well!

Thank you so much xx

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts Victoria (((hugs)))

Oooh, it's cold in the office today! I don't know what the contractors are messing with, but I hope it gets back to normal soon.
:cold:

Still expecting snow overnight into tomorrow morning, but we shouldn't get more than a couple inches here. The wind will be fierce, though. Most everybody is hoping this will be the last snowstorm of this winter. Including me.

Stay safe in the weather!

 

[sugar142286]

these are the first new glasses I have had in 8 years, could never afford the exam or the price of the frames and lens. Where I work now I have benefits so it was finally affordable.

Glad to hear you were able to get to the doctor and also get the new glasses. Glad you like them!

 

[sugar142286]

Thanks! She goes to the vet tonight. Hoping her heart valve is closing all the way now! Fingers crossed!!!
Hope you are having a great day Snowflake!

Praying she had a good appointment!

I will hopefully get home by 8:30 tonight, go back tomorrow morning, and then go to an AHL hockey game tomorrow night.

My wife won the tickets yesterday, so we get to see the Springfield Falcons play the Adirondack Phantoms. The boys, and myself are very excited about the game. The Falcons are one of the best teams in the AHL this year and it has been 5 years since we have gone to a game.

I must start to get ready for work, I hope you all have a good day.

See you all tonight!

Enjoy the game tomorrow night. Sounds fun!
