Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Festive Spirit]

Thank you! I'm praying that between the dr and my mom and her siblings can help my grandma see that surgery is the best option for her because the issue can easily be corrected.

I see. I will be praying for the best possible outcome for you guys. Keep courage. I know it must be tough for you all.

Good Morning, MMC~

Merry Pines Day!

We had storms and thunder throughout the night, and Adi took Har in the basement so she could stay relaxed more. I checked on them in the middle of the night, and took Har out. She wanted to go back downstairs when we came in. Hopefully she's been resting well.

I still didn't sleep too well, I am having some sharp pain in my ear and the back of my head. My chiropractor got me in yesterday after work, and I will go back again this week. She got me some immediate relief, but the pain returned a couple hours later. She said there is some swelling in my ear, and my lymph node. It is also causing some dizziness, nausea, and mild vertigo-hopefully she can get it under control quickly.

A trip to the Pines is much needed tonight!

Hugs & prayers for all. Have a blessed day!

Oh no Snowflake, I feel so bad. I'm sorry you're not feeling well, I know it's the last thing you need. Please take care, I'm praying hard for you & Har (((HUGS)))

Thank you! Day is going pretty well!
I didn't sleep real well last night - we should have chatted! We had a little "incident" in the neighborhood last night w/ a stranger (male) aimlessly walking around our subdivision carrying a bottle of cleaner. Said he was a Kirby salesman. Didn't have any ID & no cell phone. Said his driver was coming to pick him up...this was 8:30pm - it was dark out. Sheriff came & talked to him. He was going to stick around & try to get the license plate # of the driver that picked him up. Never did hear how it turned out but I sure am curious. Just made it hard to fall back to sleep when I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about that.
Emma has a cleaning job today - I told her when she left she should lock Moms door incase the Kirby salesman is out & about again today. He could walk right in her house! UGH!
Anyway....have a wonderful day!

That "incident" is unnerving. I hope everything turned out alright and that you will be able to sleep better tonight!

We'll pick you up! Bring Lulu!

Awe....can't wait to hang with Lulu too!

 

[Holiday]

I certainly do!


Great!



Of course! But you have to bring me some RC cola and mud pies



Look forward to it!

We'll pick up RC Cola & moon pies on the way!!

Happy Pines Day everyone ~
I was on the run all morning, just sitting down now for a quick bite to eat. I didn't even have a chance to have a cup of coffee this morning. I'm going to have one as soon as I finish my lunch. I picked up a salted caramel creamer yesterday, can't wait to try it. My youngest dropped her car off for service earlier because the check engine light went on. They wouldn't give her a loaner car, said she was too young. I had to pick her up & we ended up running a few errands. She's not getting the car back until tomorrow so she'll have to borrow my car later, she has an evening class tonight. Not too much else going on for the rest of the day, just working on some chores around the house. Dinner will be pasta & chicken Parmesan. I hope everyone is well and enjoys the rest of the day!

Is everyone having a wonderful Wednesday so far??? I'm having a busy one so far but maybe that means it will fly by. We're still experiencing some warm temps here in MD but the humidity seems to be staying away so it's tolerable. We've got church this evening; prayer meeting for me and Master's club for Lizzybeth.

London and I were discussing how busy our schedules have become since school has started back up for she and her sister and with her now working. She was saying how she feels like she never sees us anymore because all our free time is taken with some sort of church event. I looked over my calendar for the next month and she's right. I have something planned just about every weekend from this weekend until the end of October, with only two Saturdays where I'm free. But it's not all church stuff. We've got a Halloween party on the 22nd and the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure race on the 23rd. I'm so busy in fact that I don't have time to do anything as she calls it "fun" for my b-day this Sunday. I'll be in church practically all day minus a few hours between 1-3:30pm. So I've decided to push my birthday celebration to October 1st (which would have been my dad's 76th bday) and if she's not working we'll go see the Magnificent Seven. It was my dad's favorite western and my mum would have loved it as well. They both loved westerns. If she's working then well...I guess we won't celebrate it this year which is okay because it's not a milestone b-day, just me turning 39.

Well, everyone have a great day and stay blessed.

Although early, Happy Birthday to you! Have a blessed day!!

Hmmm I don't like strangers lurking either. Could be nothing like you say but it's the doubt that they put in your mind. Glad your sheriff came out.

Totally agree! I was glad he came out too - it was a very young deputy & it made me a little leery that he just let the guy sit there - not having any id, but hopefully he was able to get a license # if someone finally picked him up.

My mom said I should have him join the circus.

LOL!! AWE!!! Poor Nitro!!

I tried salted caramel from D&D new flavor...not really my taste but I'm more of a mocha or caramel type guy.

LOL !

 

[Edge612]

LOL!! AWE!!! Poor Nitro!!

I haven't called him Nitro more than once or twice since we got him (which shocks me) but I've slipped like you did a couple times .

Thanks, Snowflake!

His symptoms are becoming more pronounced almost every day. He hasn't said how long he plans to continue working, but we'll support him as long as he wants to stay. He is handling this, at least here at work, with a dignity that is awesome to see. Thanks for asking!

My prayers continue for Russell and his family and friends. What a courageous man he is. (((HUGS)))

hmmm well you are doing the right thing by being vigilant and cautious. I hope that he is long gone and your mind can be free from worry.

Your mentioning variety of candy reminded me that I never told you guys that at our wedding we had a Smore's bar. We had chocolate, vanilla and regular graham crackers, various Ghirardelli chocolates, Reese's peanut butter cups, Hershey's standard chocolate and cookies and cream chocolate, Keebler Fudge Stripes, Keeble Fudge Stripes Cookies & Cream, standard marshmallows, strawberry flavored marshmallows, caramel swirled marshmallows and fudge striped marshmallows. The venue put the marshmallows on sticks and displayed all the graham crackers and chocolates and had a roasting station. It was a huge hit.

How FUN! That sounds totally amazing!!!!

 

[Holiday]

And I already responded before I saw this that I'll pick up @snowflake22, I'll grab you as well....anybody else want to join?

YAY!!!!

Great! Hurry up Holiday! We'll grab Brad & CGYager, and anyone else that wants to join in on the way! have a huge MMC bash at Sam's!

 

[Holiday]

Good deal!
You're welcome, friend.
Glad your sister will be there, too.
Don't people know they're acting creepy, sheesh?!

No kidding!!!

 

[Holiday]

LOL!! She knows she can really have some fun, then!!

That must be it!!!
