Christmas Countdown - 2016

[snowflake22]

I remember we had a toy collie when I was growing up and if you took a gift, held it in front of her and told her it was her gift, it would be opened in the morning. Only that one, it was so cool (especially if it was really mine).
Here is a cool Santa take off image I found...

Thank you snowflake! After the tornado touched down by Made they said it was heading our way, but thankfully it went a little more north & what did head this way dissipated some! I was thinking of made & I have 2 nieces & a nephew over by Toledo where they were having warnings. Also Emma's family in Indiana. As far as I know everyone stayed safe. No news = good news, right?
That Starbucks that went down in Kokomo, In was crazy!
Hopefully this evening is much calmer for all!

You're welcome, friend.
So scary, glad you guys stayed safe.
Prayers for everyone in the path of bad weather!! Hugs!

That's part of the package, m'boy, and it won't be the last time!
But marrying the right one is the best thing in life. I speak from happy experience!

Amen to that!

The funniest part was he just was laying there as if he was proud of what he did...that he did nothing wrong.

Well, it WAS his!! LOL!

Good morning everyone!

It's getting closer till the weekend! I for one cannot wait. I almost called out "sick" this morning just so that I could sleep a little longer but my Christian conscience got to me and I reluctantly got out of bed. Just seems like I hardly ever get to sleep in just a little. Even on the weekends I'm up and going, going, going. This Saturday I've got a medcheck appt for Lizzybeth at 8:45am. Was I insane when making that appointment??? LOL Then one more final meeting to finalize things for London's schedule for college and groceries. Then we'll end our day with a visit to our state fair. Going opening weekend is always the best! Sunday is the first choir rehearsal of the season so that will be fun. We take the summer off simply because folks are away on vacations and trips that it's just easier to take a break then have a different size choir each week. So I'm excited as this will be my 2nd year - yep that's right I'm now considered a seasoned vet. hahaha My voice however is still a work in progress.

What's everyone got planned this weekend?

Happy Friday Eve, Ladybugkisses!
Hope your meetings and appointments with the girls go well this weekend.
And have a wonderful time at the state fair!!

We are going to go out for dinner Friday night, and I hope to organize around the house some more so I can start decorating soon. We have a few yard projects to work on, too. That's if the weather cooperates!

Have a great day!

 

[Holiday]

It was a blur for us, too. A lot of it had to do with packing, moving, settling in, etc.!
LOL @ your co-worker!!
Have an awesome day, lady!

I can only imagine how fast it went for you!!
You have an awesome day too!!!

 

[Holiday]

Aww, poor Gracie. That does sound unlike her.
Hope she's doing better when you check on her at lunch <3

I was glad I had warned Kelly about Gracie & storms previously or she would have really been wondering what was going on!
I'm curious to see if Gracie stayed in the basement or if she is out & about the house since the sun is shining & it's a nice day now! I'll find out in about an hour!

 

[snowflake22]

I'm not going to hold my breath!

Holiday - your Gracie sounds like my Buttercup. She won't let you out of her sight, let alone go out to use the bathroom when there's a storm approaching or in the midst. We've just quite trying to win that battle. I use to have really bad anxiety when it came to thunderstorms myself several years ago. I mean it was bad. Things have gotten much better although I still get a little nervous but I figured I had to get over my anxiety because it made no sense for me and the dog to cower under the kitchen table every time a storm rolls through. LOL

Poor Buttercup! Sending hugs to both of you.

I use these with Harlowe, they seem to help lessen her anxiety.

Oh yeah. They know. Their sense of smell helps them. We made the mistake one Christmas Eve with Nitro of wrapping his bed and leaving it under the tree wrapped with other gifts while we ran a quick errand. We came back and not only was his bed unwrapped but he was laying in it.

Ha ha! Smart cookie!

Hope you are enjoying the end of summer.
