Christmas Countdown - 2018

Chili in the crock pot, corn bread in the oven, and the Barrett Jackson car auction on tv. It’s going to be a good night.

I managed to grab these from Walmart at 90% off over the weekend.

I didn’t find a whole lot this year after Christmas but stocked up on the basics. Paper, tags, boxes, bags...

GREAT finds!!! I especially love the countdown!!
I picked up a book - a version of Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" for $.44! I may read that tonight. It looks like a quick read!

Thanks Holiday!
I’m leaning towards Rocky. I thought it would be cute to give a teeny tiny dog a name that’s kind of tough. Plus I love dog names that end in Y
I hope you’re having a nice day so far!!!

Rocky sounds good. I agree with you, my toy poodle’s name is Samson!

Check you pet store for a ball called a Bomber ball for dogs. They are orange with a rough texture, has handles on each side and come in different sizes. They are GREAT for puppies and dogs that like to chew. Its the only ball our dog hasn't been able to destroy and she has been chewing on this since she was 6 months old, she is 2 now.

Thank you so much Minta, I’m definitely going to look for that the next time I go to the pet store!

Good morning MMC! Guess what??? It's FRIDAY EVE!!! Woo Hoo! It's supposed to warm up today - a high of 29 is predicted! Right now it's 14 & windy & BRRRRR!! The roads were slick in spots coming in to work b/c of the blowing snow! It's supposed to be 50º by Monday so it will all be gone!! Booo!

Hubby came home sick with the flu bug last night. Round #2! It's so bad this year!! I slept on the couch last night. Hope I don't get it again!! Blah! Wish I could have stayed home today w/ him & Lucy, but not b/c of being sick!!! Thankfully, tomorrow is Friday!!

Everyone, have a great day!!!

Sending get well wishes for your husband. Praying you don’t get sick. It is bad this year. I had bronchitis in the beginning of the month and I’m still coughing, I can’t seem to shake it.

Good luck to Rocky at the vet!
Puppy teeth are like little razors...lol

Thanks SnowflakeMom! He’s killing me with those teeth, I can’t believe something so tiny can hurt so bad!

I'm so glad Rocky had a clean bill of health! Praying you are fully recovered from your bout with bronchitis soon, too.

Merry Thursday!

Went grocery and pet food shopping today. It was a very cold day what with the wind chill. Found a few things at Goodwill for the store, too. That is always a bonus when running errands!

Be merry!
