Christmas Countdown - 2008

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Speaking of Valentine's Day...

I was shocked to receive a dozen long-stem roses at work on Valentine's Day. I was pretty busy all week and didn't even make it home for lunch for three days in a row so my husband surprised me.

Don't tell him, but with the cost of flowers these days (he spent about $85.00 Can. on that bouquet), I could have opted for dinner out instead, but I'm not complaining about the sentiment.

He's a sweetie for sure.

O'Malley didn't get anything extra special, some heart-shaped Luvs treats and a play-date with his kitten friend from next door.

Yip - you heard it right - O'Malley is having playdates now. Twenty minutes tops with Ringo is about all he can handle, he treats him like a little brother, but my husband has to keep an eye on him just in case the young one gets too bold, O'Malley will only put up with so much.

~Crown...I just love love love TCM! What a cool movie channel. Just watched it today btw, Katherine Hepburn movie. One of my favs, "On Golden Pond". Isn't Robert Osborne, the announcer, just perfect to tell you about the upcoming movie?

cheesy I can't count the number of times my husband and I watched On Golden Pond. He said that I remind him of an eclectic of all the characters in that movie.

:treeguy: Whoo-whoo-whoo- Me?

I'm glad they are okay. How bad was the fire? Did they have to stay in a hotel or anything like that?

Good morning! Hope you are all having a great weekend! We surived another bowling bash yesterday (it was our 10th year) ~ we had 70 bowlers & a great time was had by all. I'm kinda sleepy today though. I'm trying to motivate myself to get ready & go to crop day (scrapbooking) with my Mom, sisters & neices... I don't really feel like working on a scrapbook...thinking is involved with that & I'm not in the mood to think today! :lol: They got started at 8 AM ~ I told them I for sure wouldn't be there that early! But I am going to go to see everybody & hang out for awhile. Maybe this afternoon I'll feel more like actually doing something!

It's a dreary ol rainy Ohio day today. Would be a great day for movies & napping...OR watching NASCAR!!! I'm so excited the Nascar season is starting again!

Sila, glad to year your Mom is alright! That's scary!

Have a Super Sunday!

Ah! Great movie!

Days to Christmas Day 312
Getting close to the 300-day Christmas Day mark!

Good morning! A wet good morning here in Raleigh at this hour.
The temp stands at a coolish 44 with a light sprinkle falling.
A great morning to curl up on a soft mattress (or a warm dryer) with a good book and hot chocolate. Bing, you're welcome to drop by. Don't forget your canteen of coffee.
("FORGET??" What am I saying? That's like zebra forgetting it's stripes!)

Have a Super Sunday and rest up for the start of another great week, guys!

Another wet one here this morning. We are slowly eroding the drought away. A balmy 62 when I left for work this morning. Fantastic for mid-February. But it often comes with the threat of severe weather.

Have a Marvelous Monday and a great start to the week!
