Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Christmas-A-Holic]

I must say that staying in bed all day yesterday and 10 hours of sleep last night made me feel so much better today. I told Wayne this isn't good, I seem to be having this problem at least once a week. He said if I feel bad, lay down! I really tried to get up and around yesterday and push through it but kept getting dizzy when I stood up so I would have to lay back down. I felt so unproductive! But today is a new day and going to go in full mode!!! Zoom zoom!!! :dance:

Thanks to all for your well wishes!

As usual, I did not get to read everyone's post but will be back on later to catch up. I did catch one from Momnan - enjoy those Christmas cards!!!

I'm not on Facebook myself; most of my relatives are older and not computer-literate, so it's not a viable means of staying in touch.

From what I hear and read, Facebook seems to be some people's reality instead of a tool for communication; what happens there seems to them to be more important than what happens in real life. It's great what it can do for extended families whose members are scattered, or for those who grew up digital and can't imagine a world without Facebook, but so far it's not for me.

Mr. isn't on Facebook, either, and a strange thing happened. Someone looking for him on Facebook found that there are several people with the same name, and asked a friend of ours who IS on Facebook which one was Mr. Our friend told him that Mr. isn't on Facebook. The guy got furious with our friend: "What do you MEAN he isn't on Facebook? Why not? I DEMAND to know why he isn't on Facebook!" and went on and on attacking our FRIEND because Mr. isn't on Facebook! I hope most people on Facebook aren't that batty. But it's one more reason I shy away from it. It's probably harmless and even fun, but I've chosen to leave that particular Pandora's box closed. It's tempting at times, and I've been as close as one click away from joining, but it's too scary for me.

The biggest temptation would be to be in closer touch with all of you. But I could do that here and through email ...

I have avoided it all cost, my wife isn't on it either. The whole thing with my grandmother and hearing all my cousins are on it are the main reason it has been on my mind. I really am leaning not to at this point but who knows later, I think if my grandmother passes, I will hardly hear from a lot of my family again.

Good morning,

I just went very quickly through the posts, and posted the Christmas song of the day. I have to get ready to head out into the monsoon to get to work.

I will talk to you all later on.

Have a great day!!!

Good Morning!

Cake in oven, getting a few other things done and then heading over to Port Huron for the day. Hoping to leave by 9am

Hope you all have a great day

Have FUN today!!!

Good Morning, friends!!

Wishing you a blessed Day~

Happy Pines Day!!

Happy Pines Day Snowflake!!! You have a blessed day too!

Good Morning!

Good as gold.

Just look at these golden figures:
Days to the Season: 92
Days to Christmas Day: 134

And then there's this 24-carat gold additional fact:
TOMORROW is the THREE QUARTER MILESTONE to Christmas Season 2014!

Just how can this be?
(The magic that is Christmas, I guess.)


Plenty of additional rain fell yesterday -- LOTS of it.
Flood warnings were out and there was some street flooding we had to drive through. But at last, we should have a dry day today!
We have begun mid-week at 69 degrees here in central NC.


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Folks.
And a Vivacious Visit to the 'Pines this evening for mid-August hijinx, Carl style!

YAY! Happy Pines Day! Glad you stayed safe through the flooding!

I have a FB account, but I seldom check it. I sometimes get an email from someone who tells me they posted a picture on FB for me, so I have to go try to find it. Why don't they just email the picture to me?!?

:lol:

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's been a typical week so far...busy, busy, busy. Nancy & Jacob were at Jacob's band practice late, so Elizabeth and I went out to Subway for a turkey sub for supper. Pretty good!

Today, I have to get on the lawn mower (since it's not Sunday, CAH!).

I hope y'all have a great day!

Have a great day Brad!

Thanks Snowflake. I don't know what I'm going to do about the job. I'm interested, I would be working with three year olds on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and two year olds on Tuesday and Thursdays. I just love being with the little ones, they're so darn cute. It's nice because they follow the school district schedule, so I would be off for all of the holidays, Winter & Spring recess and of course summer break. The hours on Tuesday and Thursday will be 8:00 to 12:00 which is nice. But Monday, Wednesday and Friday would be 8:00 to 3:00. That's a little long for me. I'm worried about falling behind on my errands and chores, I get overwhelmed easily. And most importantly, I'm worried about the dogs. They're use to me being here all day. I could run home at lunch but it's only a half hour break so I'd only have a few minutes with them. It's frustrating because I do want to do something and of all the opportunities I've had so far, this is the most definitely the most appealing one. I'll keep you posted.

Sounds like a big decision! Good luck!

Happy Wednesday to you!

Rain, rain, rain today!

Yesterday at work was as intense as Monday. We'll see what today brings! I have to leave early for an appointment, so I shouldn't be staying late.

Hope you have a better than expected day!

We had torrential downpours all evening and in to this morning. The rain is finally letting up however we have terrible flooding on the south shore of the island. My husband took a ride to his shop to assess the damage and there are several machines under water. What a mess. There are roads closed, cars stranded, boats overturned. Hopefully it will begin to recede now that the rain has stopped. I don't plan on going anywhere, I had an appointment for a routine eye exam but the office is closed because of the weather. I'll just be working on some chores around the house and I have a few phone calls to make. I hope everyone is well and has a good day!

Oh my gosh. Sorry to hear about all the flooding around you. Glad you are safe! Have a good day HMG!

Good Morning, MMC!!!! It's going to warm back up here today with a high in the low 80's. I prefer the 70 degree high that we had yesterday. Nothing to exciting here today. Just the same old same old. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!! See ya at the Pines tonight!!!!!!

Have a good day made!

Good morning MMC! I'm finally through all the posts!!

I can not believe how COLD it got last night! :cold: The wind was wicked & it was spitting rain!! I stayed in the trailer & crocheted. I had 2 windows open & the AC was on, but it was not running & I was covered in a blanket! CRAZY! It was my nieces birthday yesterday & she sent a text saying they just got off the pontoon. I told her it must be a lot warmer in Indiana than it is in Ohio....then she sent me a pic - they all had their winter coats & hoods on! :lol: Too cold for me! We are supposed to get up to 75 (and sunny) today!

The flooring in our kitchen, bathroom & utility room should be done after today. He had everything in yesterday - just needs grout! I think we are going to take a drive Friday morning to see our cabinets! YAY!!!

Hope you are all having a great day!!!

HAPPY HUMP DAY! HAPPY PINES DAY!!

Go for it to keep in touch with your family.
