Christmas Countdown - 2011

[xmas365]

On lunch break right now...I have a bad habit of biting my fingernails especially under stress. I have bitten everyone of them down to where they are bleeding the last few days and now theyare becoming ingrown. so this guy at work tells me he has stuff for ingrown toenails but it would work on my fingers...well it burned the living heck out of my fingers right now i can barely type,and yes I know this is gross but hey it's the world I live in! I can't wait for 3 pm!!

I am glad you don't bite your toenails because that would be really gross. cheesy

Friends....I always try to be upbeat...I believe in creating your own happiness....that being happy is a choice...but tonight I can't be happy.

We are a small community along the Mississippi River. There is another river here that flows into the Mississippi. Several ditches and streams flow into this secondary river. The rain has persisted. Ditches have backed up. Slowly, the waters started to rise. It's just gone up and up. It simply won't stop.

People have been fighting it all week.

The water has just been too much.

There has been many families who won't be able to go back home. We are on the verge of losing a lot more. The heartbreak in their faces, the helplessness...it just breaks your heart. The kids who have lost everything...everything....

It's just not fair. Inch and half of rain yesterday....two more today...

The water has gone up three feet almost in 24 hours....

There are alot of kids that I love being changed by this. No one has died, but it's tragic to all involved, but especially the kids.

I don't know who you talk to when you lay your head down at night...but if you don't mind, say a prayer for these people. Right now, that's all some of them have.

My prayers are on the way friend and I hope you don't have to use that boat.

I know this was a couple of days ago, but I do hope you're okay! I hate cutting myself with box cutters! No matter how safe I think I'm being, I manage to always nick myself somehow. Super klutz here as well!

Hey VSU! I have been wondering when I would bump into you around here! What was your major at Valdosta State University?? and did you graduate here?

Good afternoon my dear Christmas family !!

Friday...Thank GOD it's Friday !!!!!!!! I thought today would never get here !!! Don't get me wrong.....I LOVE what I do for a living and I LOVE the company I work for.....This job is just the HARDEST transcription job I have ever had in nearly 18 years as a transcriptionist so when Friday gets here..WOOO-HOOOO !!

My right index finger that the piece jabbed out of it with a knife is healed now!! My left one..........well.....It sort of looks like a knobby old wtich's finger (HEY !! IT FITS !!!!!cheesy)....Feel like there is fluid in it..........I know. I am going to HAVE to take this up with my doc.......

Anyway...Everyone I hope you have a FANTASTIC weekend !!!

I have to say that while I think the three kids who are left on American Idol are AMAZINGLY talented...I am really upset that James is not going to be part of the finale......I mean really......Pia AND James kicked off ??? Don't think the way votes are talled is really working..I suspect the "teenybopper" vote has something to do with this........I just hope JAMES gets a contract.....

Rant done !!!

Take care Christmas Family !! xo

I guess you are now 9 finger CM3. Glad your job is going well.

I watched "halloween" tonight fell asleep but woke up when jamie Lee Curtis starts using her lungs to scream towards the end. There is no way I am going to make it through another movie tonight,so I am going to ga back to bed and leave the tv on Frasier Have a good night everyone!

this was on face book and too good not to share

I. LOVE. This!

BTW, did anyone see this week's South Park? They did an episode about the Royal Wedding and it was really funny!

If there's a Denny's in your area, you should check it out---they're having a promotion called Baconalia. A bunch of special dishes featuring bacon: a breakfast plate with three kinds of bacon, bacon-laced meatloaf, a BBBLT sandwich, and more. They even have a Maple Bacon Sundae

.

Travis was just talking about this tonight...the bacon ice cream in particular. As much as I like bacon, I just can't see me liking bacon flavored ice cream! =p

I just got home and sprayed the inside and outside of my home with ant spray from Home Depot. Last year I had ants that literally got into everything in the kitchen. This spray is suppose to last 1 year and is the same stuff Orkin pest control uses. The dryer it gets here the more ants you see outside,and it is so dry here it is just a matter of time before I get a nice little surprise when I get up and drink my coffee and open the sugar!!! it is terribly hot here mid 90's Humid and just misrable for this early in spring/summer. today was the last day of county schools the city schools go until next thursday though. My gf just has 3 more post planning days then she will be out until late july or early august. She found out next semester she will be teaching seniors which she wanted to because 9th grade was horrible for a first year teacher.And these are the alleged "smart gifted" kids!! I hope everyone has made it through this friday 13th doing good!!

My last year in Valdosta, we had a huge ant problem in our kitchen! Seemed like no amount of ant spray or homemade remedy worked. It was awful! Hope your spray works!!

Isn't it funny how your interests change throughout your life. There was a time and not too long ago that on a friday afternoon I was just getting started..My idea of a great weekend was going out and staying out all the time. Now that I have entered my mid 30's my idea of a good friday night is eating dinner in and watching some tv before turning into bed!! yep I am turning into my parents right before my eyes!

My biggest worry on a Friday night is now: What will I have for dessert? cheesy

 

[vsuclaribnl]

We might have to worry about Crown attempting to make the worlds largest cup of sweet tea by throwing cases of tea bags and sugar into the pool. cheesy

I would totally help too - that sounds amazing!!! =D

 

[vsuclaribnl]

That seriously creeps me out.lol it 's like that commercial with the guy with the "pudding face" yeesh!!! or the "doggie dentures" commercial.don't know why but they creep me out!!cheesy

AHHHHHH the doggie denture commercial!!! Good to know I'm not the only person that commercial freaked out! Although now that I have that mental picture in my mind, I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight...

 

[xmas365]

I have to get something off my chest!! I am watching the news and they are interviewing a lady who gives her 8 year old child Botox injections because she don't like the way her face looks..(at the age of 8 !) absolutly crazy!

Someone was talking about that tonight, that is just sick, IMO. What would possess people to do that?

To be honest, I'm not really a praying person...I'm more of a sending good vibes/thoughts person...but after reading this, I will say a prayer. I hope you and everyone down that way stays safe, or as safe as you possibly can. <3

Hey VSU! I have been wondering when I would bump into you around here! What was your major at Valdosta State University?? and did you graduate here?

I did a triple major (yes, triple major...super indecisive here, lol) in Music, Business (accounting emphasis), and Broadcast Journalism. I graduated there in 2008, and moved back to PA in July of that year (not because I wanted to, but because finances made it so). I didn't do high school around there though...just randomly moved down there from PA just for college, haha.

 

[xmas365]

I. LOVE. This!

BTW, did anyone see this week's South Park? They did an episode about the Royal Wedding and it was really funny!

I have it saved on my DVR haven't had a chance to watch it yet but I will. I still love that show.

You'll love it! Especially if you watched any of the wedding with either the CNN or BBC commentators...they really did a good job with it!

I have read about a flavor of ice cream in an ice cream shop in California called Vegan's Nightmare it is maple syrup ice cream with crispy chocolate covered bacon chunks. I would like to try it once. cheesy
