Go for it! It's delightful!
Good afternoon ~
Just wanted to say hello and Happy Monday!
Hope everyone's having a nice day so far. I'm just having a cup of coffee and relaxing for a few minutes. I have a pot of Italian Wedding Soup simmering on the stove and I'm working on the laundry. We're starting to feel the effects of the nor'easter. It's supposed to bring high winds, heavy rain and possible flooding here on the island. Unfortunately, I have to head out in a little bit. My oldest has a doctor appointment because she isn't feeling well. She was just sick recently and took a round of antibiotics, not sure why she's still unwell. We'll see what the doctor says. Hopefully we'll be back home before the heavy rain starts. I'm already dreading having to bring little Maggie out to potty in the storm. Hope it passes quickly. I'll probably pop back in later this evening. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the day!

And I haven't really watched any later than McCoy!
When I was addicted, it was mostly Tom Baker. (Except for fourth-generation VHS bootlegs of Colin Baker smuggled from England.) Still enjoy watching Tom Baker from the era when you could practically see the zippers in the monster costumes, and nearly every alien planet looked like a disused quarry. The BBC didn't give them a very big budget in those days. I have a soft spot for that era. Even knitted a Tom Baker scarf that is now in a Doctor Who time capsule at the University of Texas. Met him once, and can't find the photo despite fine-tooth-combing the house. But I won't forget it.

Doing pretty good today, how 'bout you?
I have very few audiobooks ... and four of them are unabridged readings of "A Christmas Carol"! We have scads of old-time radio, though.
Happy Monday afternoon all!
That's all I got, just checking in .... carry on.

Hello all.
Today was a busy Monday. School of course, but then I had a meeting after that. The meeting went later than expected, but it is ok. The meeting was regarding some new opportunities for me in terms of teaching. Ohio allows high school students to take college courses for college and high school credit. While this program has been around for a long time, it recently changed to allow high school teachers who meet criteria set up by universities to teach the college level courses in the high school itself. My meeting tonight was with a local university to set up these classes. So, I will be able to offer my government, US History, Sociology and World Religions classes for college credit. There is of course some additional work on my end, but it is a great opportunity for my students next year and moving forward.

Good evening,
Looking at a stormy overnight tonight, been hearing the sleet hitting the windows for a few hours now. It was a long day today, I am really tired, I have inventory tomorrow, so I get to sleep in, but I work late.
I hope you all had a great day
Goodnight, everyone

Glad mom is home! Keeping her in prayer. Sorry for al the losses you have experienced. Hearing about the 21 year old makes me so sad.Good morning MMC!!!! It sure is Monday!!!! (but that's ok, right?!) A very rainy Monday!!
What a weekend. We got my Mom home yesterday! YAY!!! I stayed with her last night, overnight. She went to bed shortly after 8:00Trouble maker!!!!
(I like it!)
On a much less happy note, our friends Dad who was admitted to the same nursing home my mom was in on Wednesday - also a neighbor & relative to my hubby - passed away.
One of my very good friends (the one I Christmas shop with every year & have "cookie day" with) - her Grandma passed away (which was probably a blessing) but also her cousin - 21 - committed suicide! 2017 is not starting well!!!
Despite all the sadness, there were some very happy moments as well! I do hope & pray you all had a great weekend too.
Have a great MONday!!!!
(by the way, I'm loving changing the number of days to Christmas on my countdown chalk board every day!!!
Thank you! Luckily with the inauguration being the same day, it kind of kept it off the news, and alleviated any stress I had about Carolina hearing it.
Morning! We had a lot of rain last night but if the temperature was 5 degrees colder we'd be digging out from probably 18 inches of snow. I'll take the rain instead and wind. But today we will see a little more rain but not as bad as last night. Wednesday/Thursday look to be beautiful days for late January before a more normal chill hits in for the weekend. Not sure if anyone realizes but...1 month ago was Christmas Eve...11 to go. That amazes me because this will probably seem like the "longest month" and yet it went by so fast. Have a great Tuesday!
Good Tuesday morning! Freezing rain and snow on the menu today. I'm working the afternoon/evening shift, not looking forward to going out. Seems I caught my husband's cold. His lasted only 4 days, hope it will be the same for me. Have a great day everyone!
Very sorry to hear about so many losses Holiday. But happy to know that your mother is back home. That story about the bell was a hoot.Good morning MMC!!!! It sure is Monday!!!! (but that's ok, right?!) A very rainy Monday!!

Good Morning, Friends!
Proceeding rapidly now towards the end of January.
And even though February is also a winter month, it just seems easier to take.
Perhaps it's because it's shorter or maybe it's because you know that Spring arrives the following month. Regardless, I always feel a bit "over the hump" once January 31 is behind me.
What else gives me (and likely you, too) a lift?
How about today's numbers and today's Milestone Update?
Days to the Season: 293
Days to Christmas Day: 335
Well, we have but 19 days left to go until we reach the ONE QUARTER marker to Christmas Season 2017.
(That's really hard to believe, isn't it? Until you consider that we started counting back on November 13. Then it all makes perfect sense!)
The nicely warm weather continues but we had a third day of rain yesterday.
Today will be a different story, however, and the warmth will be accompanied by dry conditions. Something to really look forward to!
We are at 44 degrees here right now and for the first time in days, the sun is shining!
You have a Terrific Tuesday, OK?
(I'll plan to as well!)
