Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Seawaters]

I had a funny feeling it would be you, xmas365! Congratulations!

Since I am here, here is 1600!

Good for you, RadioJonD. I am pretty lucky to get holidays off.

2011 marks the first year since 1981 that I will be able to celebrate U.S. Holidays on the calender day they fall!

So, Happy observation of Martin Luther King Day and/or Robert E. Lee Day!

I've been known to make a turkey dinner when I am in that kind of mood--the holiday mood, not the turkey mood!

Good morning... enjoying the day home with the kids... Today I really have the holiday feelings going on... Not just Christmas but Thanksgiving as well. Maybe this afternoon I will pop in a Christmas movie.. we shall see if I have time though.
I got to get another tote to store the Christmas gifts we bought already. The one I had I filled with the Christmas quilts I bought on clearance after Christmas for next year.
Well off to see what I will make the kids for lunch.. have a great day all!

Okay I guess its back to bed I go. I cant remember the last time I laid in bed and watched tv all day. But sundays are the best day for it I suppose. Its good to be in below 300 days till the start of the season after tomorrow. hope every one has a great last day of the weekend unless you are lucky enough to have a long holiday weekend!

I sometimes love having a day like that. Looks like today will be that for me but it's because I am down with a cold. =( I will make the best of it and spend time on my laptop, tv and snuggled up with my little dogs!

That's sweet of you to correspond with someone on the forums like that. HaHa!

You can never tell someone enough how much you care and there are so many ways to tell them. Even if I sat here right in front of him to tell him, I must type it to him as well. Hee hee! cheesy

Whew....finally....all caught up from Friday til now. Friday and Saturday were long days....ballgames take me all over the place this time of year. With four teams, it seems someone is playing everyday except for Wednesday! Well, that was the case this week and will be next week, too! Only thing is this week there is a Wednesday night meeting that I have to be at. So, that means no nights at home for me this week....my next night at home will be next Sunday. The good news is all of that time is usually spent with kids. If you are going to be away from home, you might as well be with kids....

I hope you manage to get some rest through your busy week! Enjoy the kids. =)

Any leftover snow can be sent to northern California in care of me!!

Good morning,


Back to work in a couple hours, but day off tomorrow with another snowstorm about to bear down on us tomorrow into Wednesday. Everyone at work will be so quiet about the Patriots today so that will be music to my ears, I will be kind and not rub it into their noses after all I am a Bengals fan and I wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Have a great Monday!

We had thirty inches last Wednesday, I would love to send you this one, we are running out of room to put the snow and it is still early winter. :

During church this morning I was leafing through the hymnal( during the boring parts) and was going back to the Christmas Carol section and noted all my favorites. I looked to see what year they were written and who wrote these gems. I was surprised how old some of the songs are! My husband caught sight of this and just smiled.

It's also nice when you hear the history behind the old songs that were written. =)

I will be starting my clean-a-thon this week. I need to create more room to store santas.

Yay for more Santas!

Oh , I have to share this, and I will most likely post this on "What song is stuck in your head" section. As I mentioned a few days ago we are experiencing some difficulties in the financial area. Well husband and I are supposed to go to a birthday party today, for my sister and my five year old neice. Well we got the five year old gift covered but my sister thats another story . There is NO extra money to be had. She will have to take a rain check.

Anyway, I got up this morning and was feelong kind of bad about it. Then I remembered that scene from the Rankin and Bass specil " Jack Frost" when they open up imaginary gifts and sing "its just what I always wanted , it perfectly right..... Its just what I always wanted , a Christmas Delight" Its a cute scene !! So I shared this with my husband and told him that maybe we should give her an emty box and she can imagine it t to be someting she alyas wanted. Weve been having a good laugh about it, and my husband and I have been singing the song off and on , in bits and pieces , this morning. Who would have thought being broke could be fun !! lol


Heres the link , it gave me a warm fuzzy watchin it. Copy and paste in address Enjoy !!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHKIcDKHnIY

When you are low on money, imagination always kicks in! I have been very creative in those situations and it always works out. =)

Does anyone know how to activate a Platinum Membership when you have received it as a gift?

You send Jeff a message as to who you gave the gift to and he will activate it for that person.

That's what I did when I gave away memberships. Not sure if that has changed.

The Boss, Mr. Westover, will have to manually make the switch I think. Sit tight, he'll be around soon!

Morning all! Its going to be one of those weeks for me! My youngest daughter has her immunisations today, My 5yr old is on antibiotics for a ear and chest infection and eye drops for an eye infection!! and my eldest goes into hospital on friday for 4 teeth removing under a general aneasthetic (sorry if spelt wrong)

Ive barely slept for the past couple of nights due to my poorly girl coughing and not being able to settle and on top of that ive had an argument with my boss at work who seems to think I should be at work rather than looking after my children! I wouldnt mind but its so rare I have time off for anything!!!

Sorry for the rant, gonna go make a cuppa and browse the forums, roll on next week when it will all be over!!!!
Have a great day everyone!:

Sounds like you really got hands full, I just came back from watching my sisters kids while she took her youngest to the doctors with an ear infection. Not easy with one, let alone two more. I hope everyone gets better and you find the time to take a nice bubble bath !!
