Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Holiday]

Good Morning. Today's a big day for us, we have home inspections today, on the house that we have a contract on. If everything goes well, it will be a good thing, if not, well then it could be a deal breaker.... So, fingers crossed.

I made a road trip to BJ's Wholesale club last night and I bought a whole tray of Cinnamon buns to bring to work this morning; (thought I would treat the guys here a little bit) and wash it down with a cup of coffee and to Ill start my day off with a good sugar rush.....lol

Hope everyone has a great day today, and remember, smile, there's only one more day until we get a 3 day weekend.....

I hope the home inspection goes very well! Enjoy the cinnamon rolls & the coffee. Mmmmm! Have a great day!

Good morning!
I'm heading out soon to pick up bagels, my parents are coming for breakfast and to say goodbye to my daughter. I'm going to be busy today, we have a few last minute things to take care of. My daughter wants to spend some time with a few of her friends this afternoon and then we'll be going out to dinner later this evening. I'm sure I will pop back in here at some point. I hope everyone is well and has a great day!

Have fun today with your family! Sounds like a great day!

off to work after making bread (in machine, quick bake) cooking up pasta for salad, straightening up house and actually coming on here!

Hoping for nothing more than a busy day at work today.

Have a great day all!!!

Hope you have a fast/busy/good day at work!!! :smile:

A quick note about Joshua: he meets with his oncologist on the ninth to set up and begin chemo. His voice sounds strong and determined. I truly appreciate all prayers!

Thanks for the update. We continue to pray for y'all.

I understand. Leaving our son at college was one of the most difficult things we've ever done. It's now been 13 days and we still miss him terribly. It's touch when you go to the grocery store and think of buying something he likes then realizing he is not there.

So glad to see August ending. Since I was a child, August has been my least favorite month. Seems like nothing good happens in August. The constant summer heat is getting old, no holidays, & kids going back to school. Just not a good month.

Enough of me complaining. Have a blessed day everyone. Hurry up & get here September.

I busted out laughing at this! (not at you having a tough time but reminded me of something funny).

When my daughter left the house I continued buying a bottle of ketchup once a week because we went through that much every single week the whole time she was growing up. After several weeks passed my son asked why we had so much ketchup in the cabinet - must have been 5 - 6 full bottles in there!!! :lol: I had no idea she was the only one practically "drinking" that stuff!!!! :lol: Now we might go through a bottle twice a year.

I do know how you feel. It's not fun when your kids grow up and move away!!!

Looking forward to the long weekend!

We have purchased tickets for the Level 9 VIP tour at Johnson Space Center in Houston. My dad is going with us and it will be his birthday present from me and Wayne. While we are down there we will probably go to the beach in Galveston. I just love anything regarding space exploration - got it from my dad! I can't wait for our mini vacation!

I have not had time to catch up on the post. I hope I didn't miss anything important!

Have a Merry Day my Christmas Friends!

Good morning ~ Happy Friday Eve!
:???:

No contractors at our house this morning ~ 1st time all week! Not sure if they are waiting on siding, or if they are coming later. Guess we'll find out. Gracie got a bath again last night - 2 nights at home - 2 baths! :lol: She just can't stay out of the mud! Our electrician friend was over again last night til 12:30 in the morning. Not sure how he does it. I'm tired & I don't work NEAR as many hours per day/week as he does! I don't think he requires sleep! Lol! Says he's coming back tonight!

I think I'm going to go to the lake tonight to get my ingredients prepped for Cowboy Pizza tomorrow night. We are all bringing toppings for different types of pizzas & making them on the grill. Our neighbor is bringing all the crusts. Should be interesting. Besides the Cowboy Pizza, we are having a Frisch's Big Boy Pizza, bbq chicken pizza & buffalo chicken pizza & whatever anybody else brings! I also bought everything to make "Texas Caviar" for a snacky this weekend. Gotta love a holiday weekend at the lake! Unfortunately there is an 80% chance of rain Sunday! Hopefully that's overnight only! cheesy

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I've been working like a dog this morning. Of course, that consists of keying...but I'm keying feverishly!

I'm looking forward to the 3-day weekend in the cabin, even if my bossy sister-in-law is coming, too. LOL

I beat my co-worker to the punch, and told him I'm taking off the whole week of Thanksgiving for a longer trip to my beloved Smoky Mountains! I'm already dreaming about it.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Wow, how self-centered am I? Every one of my sentences above started with "I".
:-D

I have gotten those visual only migraines! I just started getting them about 2 years ago and the first time it happened it scared me a bit. Now I know what to do, just lay down and close my eyes. It hurts to try and look at anything. They usually tend to hit when I am rushing around trying to get something done like maybe stress is triggering it? They don't hit when I am relaxing. When I mention stress I am not talking about that I am all upset but just my mind is racing thinking of all the things I need to get done and I am in a hurry then that visual only migraine kicks in! I usually feel wiped out when it's over and might have a very slight headache but not a enough to have to take medication. As far as painful headaches, I rarely get those.

I sure hope you feel better soon!!!

That's interesting ... I never knew anyone else who had them. The first time I had the experience it startled me, until I found out what it was by Googling the symptoms. Mine have never involved any pain; they almost always occur while i'm reading something (most of them have been at work, and I'm able to keep proofreading between the "sparkles," oddly enough); they don't seem to be associated with any particular stress; they just show up out of the blue, one or two every one or two years. I have no other migraine symptoms---no killer headaches, no prodrome, no aura.( Of course, I don't fit a pattern!)
