Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Btw....I hit 2000 and went right past it. Onwards to 3000! Made, onwards to 15000 for you, darn overachievers.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Good night to my MMC Family........

Today turned out to be just a bad day. I did not achieve NEARLY what I wanted to in terms of line count, which for a transcriptionist is bread and butter. Too many interruptions. Everyone seems to think just because I am home that I am available.........But at least I am home. And I have a job. I have said that countless times and I am extremely grateful.

I hope it gets better tomorrow!

Hey Made... glad to hear that your mom is doing much better!!!

Congrats on hitting 2000 posts ballcoach

Have fun Binger!

We walked to the school and walked the track (only 1/2 mile away at most) and he quit just stood there, so I had to go home and get the van to pick everyone up. He cried and whined all day, he was so overtired today, I feel so bad for him, hopefully the tonsillectomy in two weeks will take care of his sleeping issues.

I have a story to tell you regarding my son getting tired during a walk which in return helped me find my pet bird!

I have a Quaker Parrot and about 10 years ago I stepped out on my back porch with him on my shoulder. The wind picked up and carried him away. He was so scared but managed to fly over a 2 story building and disappeared. His wings were clipped and he was unable to fly well but since it was windy it helped him fly. We had a small search team looking all over the place until after it got dark. I could not sleep most the night worrying about him. My son at the time was 10 years old got up and wrote a letter to God to please return him. The next day we got up at 8 am and walked all over town for hours looking for him. We decided to come home for a break and suddenly my son was giving out and just sat down. I was walking way ahead of him and looked back and hollered out loud, "Trevor, come on, we are almost home!" I suddenly hear my bird responding to my voice and he was chirping. (very distinct chirp from wild birds). I started calling my birds name, Bailey (named after George Bailey from It's a Wonderful Life) and he kept answering me. I followed the sound and found him in some bushes in an apartment building next to ours! Bailey looked up at me so sad like I threw him away. We still have Bailey, he can live to be 35 years old. Because my son got tired and gave up on the walk helped rescue my bird! If I hadn't hollered out loud my bird would not have heard me! cheesy The scary part is he was in some low bushes and could not fly well. Thankfully a cat did not find him first.

I pray all goes well with your son's surgery.

Good morning everyone.

Have a wonderful day.

Saying a prayer for surgery to be a success, I am sure it will be!

Oh nice! As I mentioned on here already I am going on an overnight train trip this weekend. We have a bedroom reserved on the train as well. I hope you get some picture of the train to show us. I love train travel and want to hear how your trip goes.

The same goes for you! Take plenty of photos. I'll do my best to inform you and everyone else how it went. It may not be until about July 20th (when I return), but I will do my best to tell many memorable stories from this vacation.

I am looking forward to hearing about it! Thanks!

 

[brent]

that is how I have been feeling too. Just looking forward to getting out to camp and relaxing for a few days!

That would be very relaxing! I'd love to go home and to my cottage for a few days, but I think Prague and Amsterdam have jeopardized that trip for the summer.

sounds like fun! Have a great time. cheesy

And you have fun camping! I have not went camping in about five or six years. Hopefully you have some great weather!

Heading to Vermont..... does Ben and Jerry have Coffee ice cream?

YABBA!

We drove through Vermont going to Boston this past weekend. Of course, we drove through it coming back as well. It is still looking as beautiful as ever. I really love the scenery of that state. Have fun, Binger!!

 

[brent]

Bing......have fuN, friend. Brent, personally I am a list person. Make a list and have a list for your list.

Thanks, Coach! I guess I should start creating the list today. Knowing me, I won't finish packing until Thursday morning at 11 am - an hour before I have to be at the train station.

That is a great story! I love hearing heart warming stories about animals. They always make my day.

Coach, congratulations on the 2,000! It looks as if I will hit 1,000 before my trip after all!

made, glad to hear that your mom has recovered quite well. I am sure she is excited to return to her regular activities!!

track, have fun with your cousin! I'd be excited too! I have not seen any of my cousins in about a year. Enjoy your time!

 

[brent]

I did not realize I posted so much this morning already... Oops. I figured this one could not hurt simply because it is my 1,000th post! I started posting regularly just over a year ago, so I will take it. I look forward to posting even more as we head towards the 2010 Christmas Season.

 

[Minta]

Congrats Brent on your 1000 post! I am sure there are many more to come!
