Good Morning MMC !

its only -19c (-2f) this morning , so much better than the -43c we were having!

I hate colds, I don't want to but think I will be calling in sick for today. It is only a 4 hour shift, but I feel lousy even after taking something.

Hope you start feeling better soon, Star!

Good Morning!
It is snowing here, we have a few inches on the ground already. I have to check if the girls classes are cancelled or delayed. And I need to get outside soon to clean my car off. Sophia & Rosie are scheduled to be spayed today so I need to drop them off. I can't feed them this morning, they're all looking at me right now. I feel so bad. Anyway, not too much else going on for me. I have a lot of laundry to do today, I was out of the house for quite some time yesterday and it has piled up. My husband stopped at the Verizon store last night and got me a new iPhone. He felt bad that my daughter used my upgrade so he got me one anyway. I have to download all of my apps today and play around with it. That's about it for me. I'll pop back in later. I hope everyone has a nice day!

Hope you're staying safe and warm! Hope Rosie and Sophia did well today!

That was a nice surprise for your husband to do!

I just hung up with the veterinarian, Sophia & Rosie's surgery went well. I can pick them up in a couple of hours. I miss them!

An icy Good Morning, from chilly central NC where sleet fell extensively during the night.

(I ain't going nowhere!)



At least we have the count to keep us warm:

Days to the Season: 269

Days to Christmas Day: 311



And what really warms the heart is the fact that the 300-day Christmas Day Milestone will be down to SINGLE DIGITS away the day after tomorrow!

(Well, that may not melt the ice but I do feel a bit warmer.)





As stated, sleet fell overnight but fortunately, the predicted freezing rain did not develop so we had no power loss.

It should move above the freezing mark today with some sun by afternoon.

(And we will need it to help with some melting before single digit temps arrive tomorrow evening!)

We have 23 degrees here, currently.





Have a Terrific Tuesday and try not to slip and slide too much!

Stay safe and warm, Crown!

It doesn't look like we are going to get any snow after all - haven't seen any here all winter. Boooo!!! Mother Nature needs to get her priorities straight! Balance the snow out all over, not slam the north with too much and leave us dry!!! Gimme some snow!:give:

It looks like Wayne and I just keep tossing a cold back and forth. Now Wayne woke up this morning sniffly and coughing. He is not real bad off but I pray it don't get worse!

Praying Wayne feels better soon!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! Laissez les bons temps rouler! It's going to be a chilly fat tuesday here as we currently stand at 8 degree's with the snow flurries already starting. Since the next couple of days are going to be so frigid, I should really run a few errands today. Then it will be back home to make my jambalaya and enjoy my king cake. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!

Good afternoon, Made! Hope you're staying warm! Enjoy your Fat Tuesday food!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I delivered our sofa & loveseat to my cousin and her husband yesterday afternoon. Our new furniture won't arrive until tomorrow, but rain was predicted for today, so I had to make the move early. I sat on the family room floor for about 30 minutes last night, then finally gave up and watched TV in the bedroom. I'm too old to sit on the floor; my old back won't take it!

Jim is determined to crank the Camaro this week, even though we don't have a windshield, or exhaust, or any of the interior done...or even tires! LOL He was working on it late last night, but I couldn't stay to help. I plan to record the first crank and post it on Youtube, to save it for posterity.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hope you're able to work on the Camaro this weekend! Enjoy!

We have decided to stay in today and go hiking tomorrow. The fire place feels too warm to get out today! It is suppose to snow again tomorrow 2 to 4 inches but we will see! We are going home Thursday so I only have to work Friday! It does not get much better than that!

Sounds lovely! Enjoy!

The antibiotics didn't help Lulu, so the vet did an x-ray this morning and found some large bladder stones. She has to have surgery tomorrow.

I'd appreciate prayers for Lulu's safe surgery & recovery.

Thanks!

Keeping LuLu in my prayers!!! [emoji173]️

Good afternoon gang ... woke up at 5 am to phone call saying the schools were closed. Kids and I got a snow day while the hubby had to go to work.



Got a pot of venison stew going in the crock pot and going to make cookies with the kids this afternoon. The snow is light and powdery so no making snowmen or having a snowball fight. Really wish we had this back at Christmas time though. Maybe it would have felt more like Christmas. Was so disorganized and behind on shopping and decorating it just didn't feel like Christmas.



Trying to stay a head of the things this year already got a few gifts for the kids and have started working on some personalized gifts. Goal is to be done shopping for wrap-able gifts by Dec 1st and start my wrapping the 1st weekend on Nov. Have several gifts figure out, just need to budget for those.



I keep telling my self I need to stop in here every day but some days there is just not enough hours in the day. Another goal to keep working at :grin:



Hope everyone has a great day and is staying warm.

Hope you guys enjoyed your snow day! My daughter had a two-hour delay.

Great ideas about planning for Christmas - hope it works out for you!

Well I just did something I have never done before, that is fall asleep standing up. I was watching the tv and next thing I know Im falling down on the floor because I checked out while watching the news! I am so tired , I don't know if I am catching a bug or what. I need to lay down I guess, but that is so hard to do when you are on vacation, I feel like I need to be out doing something!!!!!
Well I may as well lay down before I fall asleep while typing here! ttyl!

Hope the nap helps and you feel better!

Good afternoon, friends! Hope you're all having a great day! Not too much going on here. DH and i are just sitting in front of the fireplace and we're trying to figure out what to do for dinner - we're celebrating Fat Tuesday and want to eat well since Lent starts tomorrow.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of the evening!

Well, I enjoyed my snow (ice) day with my family. The Mrs has a pot of chili ready and some fresh baked bread. I think it is time to feast. Have a good evening.

Why didn't I think of this?!?!



If they can use the jet dryers from the Charlotte track to melt the ice on the runways at the Concord airport, why can't i use one to melt the snow here? So long to shoveling!!!!! ��

send me one of those too please!!

 

[Christmasstar]

I sat down in the recliner to read for awhile and next thing I knew it was after 5pm !
Oh well, must have needed that nap, now to find something for dinner.

Have a good sleep
