Christmas Countdown - 2011

[xmas365]

Good evening, Christmas Family.

Husband went to play "Mr. Musician" guy with friends this evening, which leaves me all alone with my furkids !!!!!! WOO-HOO !!!!!

Right now I am enjoying The Chronicles of Narnia, Lion, Witch And Wardrobe on DVD.......One of my VERY FAVORITE movies !!!! In just a bit I will be weeping at the presence of Aslan. So hard to believe that C.S. Lewis started out an atheist, then came to believe. That in and of itself is so touching to me. I respect the right of someone NOT to believe (though personally I don't know how a person cannot !!). What I hate is someone IMPOSING ANY view on me as opposed to just sharing their opinions.

Anyway, I bought some melatonin today, 5 mg time released. Does anyone know what dosage I should start with ??

My finger is still terribly painful. Doc said it is an infection. Antibiotics did not help. My dear friend, Susan, says it looks like gout, which is totally odd since I do not eat red meat or consume any dietary products that are known to lead to gout.

Leave it to me to be the medical oddity !!! :-?

I cannot believe we are going into Holy week!!! A really, really sad week for me. I take the events of 2000 years ago VERY seriously and cry a lot on Good Friday.

I hope all have a wonderful and blessed and relaxing weekend !!!


Take Care, Christmas Family !! xo :wink:

I hope you find out whats wrong with your disgruntled digit quickly.

My thoughts EXACTLY! Personally I do not believe (just wasn't raised with it, absolutely nothing against anyone who does!), but it irritated me to NO end when people would tell me straight to my face the most horrible things, simply because I had differing (or no) beliefs. I find it so sad that people can be so close-minded and mean.

I hope I don't offend anyone with this; I'm probably one of the most easygoing people ever, and I mean no harm with this!

No offense here, thats what makes everyone so great, we all have our own beliefs, I was raised in a house where my mother was a reverend, yet I follow my own beliefs on religion. Yet we all come to this site for the celebration of Christmas both religious or secular.

Different strokes for different folks

It's also our 2 year anniversary friend!!!!!!!!!!



It's hard to believe it has only been 2 years since I joined this wonderful site. I feel like I have known all of you for far longer than that. Thanks for letting me be a part of this wonderful family!!!!!!!!!!! cheesy

So, two years ago I stumbled onto this site and found Made. Since that day, I have been so blessed to meet each one you. Made, you my friend, have made it worthwhile....so thank you. But Dec. 23 and, Binger, and us has made it awesome.

Funny how friendships form. I think of you guys as much as I think of my hometown friends! Seems like I am with you as much as I am with them.

Good evening,


I actually have a weekend off! Woo-hoo! I just realized it was 11:30, I thought it was only 10:30, I was getting ready to watch the local news but I missed it. We went to the creamery, I had my coffee ice cream, it tasted like summer. The boys love feeding the goats there, and the view of the mountains is spectacular, I should take a picture of it sometime.

Have a great night!

I completely agree. I couldn't think of a better way to start my Christmas celebration than here with the 2 of you.


Junior didn't practice much today but hopefully he learns everything he needs to during the nationwide race tomorrow.

Hoping you all have a wonderful weekend. We get an extra day off on Monday because our offices both observe Patriots Day (Massachusetts). We're having some friends over tomorrow that we haven't seen in a LONG time, so we'll be catching up with them in the afternoon and evening, and maybe showing some movies. Off to bed now ... sleep tight, folks.

Enjoy your long weekend and I hope you have fun catching up with your friends.

Good Saturday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's pretty overcast here in Bellville this morning. I am, once again, broadcasting from Bernie's Store in downtown Bellville. I've been here since 6 AM, grilling sausage, eggs & bacon for the breakfast biscuits, and I have a cup full of fresh-ground breakfast blend coffee. Boy, it smells gooood in here!

It's going to be a long, 13 hour day, so I'll be checking in from time to time.

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Good Morning Christmas Family !!!!!


IT'S A MIRACLE - I SLEPT LIKE A LOG !!!!!!

On the very wise advice of our beloved Christmas A Holic AND gabulldawg I purchased some melatonin because ever since I started night shift, I haven't really been sleeping very well.

I took 5 mg last night and though it did not make me sleepy, I was drowsy naturally within about 30 minutes. I slept the whole night long !!!!!!!! So THIS is what it feels like to wake up rested ?? !!!

How weird !!!!

I am so thankful for the help and suggestions. Hopefully the melatonin will help me this week when I have to sleep during the day !!

Nothing big planned today. Today is weigh in at Jenny Craig. It is going on 2 years and I haven't gained anything back !!!!! Another miracle.

I am starting on my "Holy Week doldrums", a sadness I get every year at this time. I won't talk about it here because I think it belongs in my blog.

Have a wonderful and fantastic day, Christmas family ((((((HUGS)))))) to all xo

So, I just don't get it! When my dogs are asleep, I don't start running around the house yelling and screaming! Why, oh why do they do that to me on a Saturday morning? When I get up to let them out...they look at me as if to say...."Why don't you go outside Dude....it's cold!" I love them, but today when they are napping, I'm going to bark as loud as I can....maybe my wife will think I have officially lost it!

Can you guys believe we are 1/2 way through April? I can't! April is exciting to me because we get into the 100's for the season, but we also get under 100 days until I start preparing for Christmas. I start doing something on the weekends during August, so it's right around the corner for me....just a little over 100 days!

Have a great Saturday, friends!

I have done that when my cats are sleeping during the day when they have terrorized the house all night long, it is so annoying when they pull that.

Good morning MMC,


Waking up to get ready for JP's birthday bash, we are doing it at a place for kids so no stress on our part to worry about our house and things getting broken by a bunch of 5, 6, 7 year olds.


So everyone have a great Saturday!
