Same to you Edge!!
Hope you enjoy the LP set!!! The PCB's haven't really hit me yet this year for some reason. Don't get me wrong, returning to work on Monday was not pleasant at all, but we got through it & it wasn't too bad of a week, really. Probably b/c we had my MIL's b/d gathering at our house to look forward too. I guess it seems like there is so much to look forward too over the next months (lots of family weddings coming up) & the holidays will be here again before we know it, I just haven't gone there! Have a great evening Merry!Same here. I went to Jo-Ann Fabric for some yarn, and there was VERY little left. I got some $3.99 gift bags for 79 cents each, though!
I took down the outdoor lights this morning and packed them away. I'm syncing my post-season music library to my phone; it still has a "safety net" of some Christmas music on it. Tomorrow I'll be un-decorating the trees and packing them away, and packing away the Nativity.I prepared a special playlist of Christmas music that makes me smile that I can play as I work. I may put up a tiny tabletop tree and put a string of miniature LEDs on it to brighten up the winter nights. It still seems a little unreal that we've turned the corner and are entering the second week in January.
Oh, today I got the Christmas LP set I ordered on eBay---the one graywolf was talking about. I'll have to listen to those to make sure they're okay and don't need to be sent back!

Goodness, it looks like the Invasion of the Snowmen! They'll keep things festive until springtime rolls around!
My mom used to make snowpeople, carolers, and Mr. and Mrs. Santa from a pattern that wrapped felt and batting around soup cans. She used to sell them to friends in the neighborhood. I have a cute picture of a crowd of her "little people" on top of our stereo console (remember those??).
Love those Merry!!! Reminds me of Christmases from my childhood!!

Thank you!
Here I am catching up on posts BEFORE I dive into the LP set. That's how great it is to spend time with all of you!
The office workload was fairly light this week, but I'm sure it won't take long for it to ramp up and get crazy busy again. Just the same, it felt good when the weekend came around!
Thank you ... wish I had the pattern, even though I'm a crocheter, not a needleworker. I have one set of Mr. and Mrs. Santa that Mom made, and I keep them very carefully. They mean a lot to me.
My family presented me with this lovely cherished teddies figure called
"I'm surrounded by Hugs"
It is perfect for our family , single mom, 2 girls and a boy and we have always loved to give hugs and cuddle. I am so thankful to have such a loving family.

Me, too! Magical!
Aww, love it.Jim came home & laid on the floor - she smothered him so much in kisses he couldn't breathe!!
Prayers for Har. Hope the meds do what they need to do quickly so she can get off them! Poor sweet girl!
Nothing like a greeting from your fur kid
Thanks for the prayers, we appreciate them!
You're welcome!
Lol, it is.You are one crazy woman!!!!
But with my girl, it needs to be done.
Thank you, we intend to!
We are warming up in front of the fireplace & watching Netflix.
Hope you guys have a cozy night!
Have a great time!!We are heading out for a bite to eat & then to watch at least the 1st half of the Bengals game somewhere. (probably the local tavern....even though it's normally a big BROWNS tavern!)
Have a wonderful evening MMC!

Hope you are all having a good evening...we are not up to much. Watching football and my hubby is making shrimp scampi for dinner. Yum! Tomorrow we are supposed to have heavy rain so I think we will take down the decorations. So I am enjoying one last night of all my lights.
Good evening, friend~
Sounds like a fun night!
Enjoy your dinner, and the last night of your lights!
If they haven't hit by now the PCB's won't hit...at least I'm hoping for you
. I haven't gotten the PCB'S the last few years. I have a few "moments" I feel a little sad in the days and weeks following Christmas but I quickly turn my attention to looking ahead and all the good and fun things to come in the coming months.
A fellow runner? I know what you mean though. I run every day of the year...for the last couple of years. I don't care what the weather is. Well I do care...I'd prefer it to be 50s or 60s and dry...but ya know you gotta deal with the elements. One thing the bitter cold will do is force you to run faster than you ever thought you could. At least that's my experience...yet I'd still rather run on a warm and humid morning than a bitter cold one.

I prefer warmer also, I'm not an everyday runner, but I need to get back into running 4 times a week like I used to. Between helping at church and increased days at the radio station, it's hard to find time. I work at 5am at my full time job so running in the am is also out for me. The thing that kept my time from being better today is that the sidewalks aren't all shoveled. Slows one down immensely. I lost 60lbs in 2014 and have kept it off. I have maintained my weight since then, but had a bigger spike than usual last week. I think I only ran once last week, so I'm trying to be better at it. Hopefully I can run tomorrow also and make it 2 times this week (again, my plans for earlier in the week went down due to being asked to help at church, which also gives me a sense of fulfillment). But seeing you post about running has helped me stay on track to run. Thanks, Edge!!
