Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I was planning to take mom to a doctor's appointment today, but my cousin offered, so I'm at work again. I can't even call mom while she's in Jacksonville. She was rake and burning leaves yesterday afternoon and dropped her cell phone in the fire! It's a crispy plastic ball now. Luckily, she's on Straight Talk, so Nancy picked her up a replacement hone at Wal-Mart last night, but she's lost all her contacts. Oh well.

The kids have started their letters to Santa (LOL!), and the older they get, the more expensive their requests are. Geez! Whatever happened to Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys?!?

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hope your Mom's appointment goes well today, Brad!
Bummer about her phone/contacts.
Hope Santa can make your kids happy, and still not break the bank :lol:
Have a great day!!

Yep that is how it goes ! Now that all mine are adults we out a cap of $20 per person, if course I doubt if it ever happens because everyone gets caught up in the Christmas spirit !

I hope your mom's appointment goes well!!!! That was nice of your cousin to offer to take her!!!

That's a bummer about her phone. Glad Nancy was able to pick her another one up so quick.

LOL!!! My niece's are starting to reach that age too. I use to be able to buy them a huge pile of toys for what I pay for 2 video games now.

Have a great day, Brad!!!!

Ah! I bet that does smell good.

I think I'd have to call it split green pea soup, though. Snert conjures up some yucky images for me! LOL

Tastes the same no matter what you call it !

Good morning, everyone!

It is a frigid morning in Ottawa. After saying that we had some above seasonable temperatures last night just around the freezing mark, I awoke to a massive chill this morning. Temperatures are around -16c/4f (-20c/-4f). Brrr! The forecast sates that it will only be around for a day though. Back to near 0c/33f tomorrow.

I'm teaching at Russell again today. It should be an easier day than yesterday - less busy - but we will see how it goes! Last night was a good evening. It was nice to come home and relax. Tonight might be much of the same. We'll see if Kim has anything planned.

I hope you all have been enjoying your Tuesday thus far. December 2nd is a great day to put on plenty Christmas music and a few Christmas movies. We've probably watched about 10, and still have two of our favourites - Elf and The Muppet Christmas Carol - still remaining in the vault. Trapped In Paradise was our choice on Saturday night. It really is one of my favourite and underrated films.

Have a great Tuesday, everyone! Merry Christmas!

Should not watch movies that make you cry so early in the morning !

Good afternoon, friends! How are you doing? All is well here. Just got all my Christmas shopping done!!! Yay! Now I have so much wrapping to do, it's not even funny. It will get done though.

Now I'm just relaxing watching Hallmark. EA is laying beside me sleeping. She is still sick. I never did update you all - both the kids were diagnosed last week with hand, foot, and mouth. That's why EA has been running the temps. If she still is the morning, she won't be able to go back to school tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Hope you're all having a great day!

Awe!! Hope they are both better quick! I remember when my niece had that! No fun!!! Have a great day sugar!

 

[Holiday]

Oh, Holiday, that is so sad. My prayers are on the way!

I'm glad you have your trees up and that Gracie has left them alone! Smart move to surround the one with chairs! Can't wait to see pictures of your tree!

Have a merry day!

Thanks Meceka! And you have a Merry day too!

Here is the "ring around the tree" :lol:



And here is a pic of both trees:


I need to get a better close up picture of both tree's yet!

Hope things go well with your mom.

I know what you mean about gifts. Ethan wants a Keurig coffee machine. He didn't drink coffee before going off to college. Wish he was 10 and asking for Star Wars toys.

I saw that too!!! LOVED IT!!!! I didn't get to sit & watch, but I had it on! And then ELF was next ~ what a way to kick off their 25 days of Christmas!

Thank you!

Another crazy-busy day---hardly a breather all day long, less than a half hour lunch break, still here waiting for a client to approve a project. We did three rounds today, then they scrapped it all and started from scratch---at 3:30 p.m.---and this includes signage that has to be in place at a location in about 24 hours ...

I had a moment to lift my head and look out the window this afternoon. It was already dark. It was a bad moment.

Oh my! Hoping today is a better day for you!

Hey friend,

So sorry to hear about the sadness & tough times surrounding your loved ones. Keeping all in my thoughts & prayers. (((Hugs))) to you.

Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving day, and I having fun decorating for Christmas!

I am trying! I worked in a portable first period this morning. I wasn't quite ready to walk/jog 50 meters a few times from the portable to the school to check on students that were filming their music videos in drama.

Have a great day, Brent!!!!! Hope you can take it easy again tonight!!!

Me too! Thanks, friend. I hope you have a great day, too!

Happy Tuesday all. The Christmas season is flying by. Sitting at my desk listening to Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, & Frank Sinatra Christmas songs.

The weather is taking away some of the Christmas feeling. Temps are much too warm. Our forecast high today in 58. Above normal temps are forecast for next 7-10 days.

Have a blessed day.

Hope yours is, too! :smile:
