Good sunday morning MMC!

Hope your all well, we had some really nice weather all last week, then typically of course i book a long weekend off work and its cloudy and damp! Really wanted to sort my gardens out aswell!

Took my 14 month old daughter for her feet measuring for her first 'real' shoes, she has had loads of the softer soled shoes but these are alot better for supporting her feet now she is walking properly! She looks so funny bless her, she keeps picking her feet right up everytime she takes a step in them! suppose to her it feels like she has weights on her feet lol!!

Well going to have my coffee and read the forums
Have a great day everyone!

Today, we woke up at 6am and went to MegaCon, a huge comics/semi-sci fi convention in Orlando. For someone like me who really isn't into comics all that much, and only went to see William Shatner and a handful of cast members from Star Trek: The Next Generation, I was a little out of my league. But it was still a lot of fun, I have great photos, and I also bought a navy blue wig. Why? I'm still not sure, but maybe I can make a Halloween costume around it! LOL

I am sure Bradmac will read this with great envy! He LOVES Star Trek! Even though I am not a fan of Star Trek, I really like William Shatner. He is so funny and he sure does look great for being 80 years old! I am shocked he is really 80!

I love seeing little ones walk at that age. They are so cute!

Good Morning, Folks.

Half way through the weekend but nearing the end of the NCAA tournament.
UNC plays today - the final hope for the ACC.
Let's go Heels!!

What else is "go"-ing?
<< You're trying too hard, Crown! >>
Awwww!
Days to the Season: 231
Days to Christmas Day: 273
Under a month now to our next Milestone, the 1/3 mark to Christmas Day.
And exactly one month from today the 200-day Season Window opens and we will be down into the 100's to Christmas Season 2011!
(Close enough for you??)

Downright cold feeling here this morning.
While we are at 40, it feels colder with overcast skies and the threat of rain (or worse) any moment.
Hey! It's nearly April. Where are those spring flowers and warm sunny days?
<< Coming, Crown. Coming. >>
Not soon enough for me.

May you have a Super Sunday and a Nice NCAA tournament result, Friends.
(Um....sorry, Kentucky fans. Not you this time.)

Ah, I like to see those milestones approaching!

I'm not a college basketball fan, so I can't say much about that - but hope you all are enjoying the tournament and your favorites are doing well! I'm just anxiously awaiting opening day at Busch Stadium this week in St. Louis! There's nothing better than my boys of summer playing ball - GO CARDINALS!!!!

We got about 4 in of snow yesterday, but I expect most of it will melt today - although, we're supposed to have another chance for snow on Tuesday. I'm pretty sure this winter will end sometime....I'm just not sure when that time is.

I'm off to church and the grocery store after that. We had a visitor this weekend - my DD (3yo) had her little friend Owen spend the weekend while his parents were out of town. I need a serious re-couping day. Here's to taking it easy this Sunday!

Good morning, friends! Hope this finds everyone enjoying their weekend and slowly crawling out of their nice, cozy beds to a warm pot of coffee.....and no tea!

Yesterday was a very productive day. I went through all the closets and cleaned them and then cleaned out the room that had alot of boxes that had yet to be unpacked from our move around Thanksgiving. We didn't deal with it after that because of Christmas so I finally got it all done yesterday. It is with great pride that I say the following.....

We are officially completely moved into our new house!

Today will be spent watching the race and basketball games. Seeing as how it is 38 outside, I will not be outside today. Plan on staying in the house with my house-shoes on!

See ya around today!

Oh...Laney...welcome back!

 

[Laney]

Oh...Laney...welcome back!

Thanks Coach! Good to be back cheesy

Good Morning, Folks.

Loved the snow pictures!

Good evening all! I finally downloaded some of my snow pics from my trip to mass! I have a ton to follow! http://mymerrychristmas.com/forum/album.php?albumid=564

 

[ballcoach]

CAH...do you use a schedule for training or running?

 

[Seawaters]

Your daughter sounds so cute. I remember when my kids got those first pair of "real" shoes and how they walked!

I hear you on this one, CAH. I was a member of a teacher group where teachers would ask for advice and some on the group were downright nasty ALL THE TIME bashing both those who asked for advice and those who gave it. I finally quit goint there when I posted a recipe for fried Twinkies (the truth) and one of the teachers fired back with one of the nastiest messages on the board about how I was trying to kill students with crap and trying to make them fat. Definitely not the place for me!

I have no problem when people just said they don't like Adam's singing. That is fine but this turned into name calling. Even some of the Adam Lambert fans were bashing people who didn't like Adam and vice versa. Some would say that if you like "so and so" that you obviously have no good taste in music and you're ignorant. A lot of cussing matches going on and still going on when you get involved in American Idol talk. No thank you, not for me! It's funny that you don't see this kind of trash talk between the contestants, just some of the fans talk that way. lol

I think it's time for a nap.....

 

[Seawaters]

Good morning, Christmas friends. It is still windy and chilly with overcast skies today in northern California. We had a great time visiting two Elks Lodges last night. We picked up the John Deere metal container that looks like an old-time horse trough filled with John Deere stuff. Hubby loved it. We have another ceremony to attend this afternoon here in our small town. I hope everyone has a great day.

 

[gabulldawg]

Good afternoon everyone! we are under severe thunderstorm warning until 3..and right now it's thundering and lightening! I love the spring/summer downpours it smells so good an refreshing after it rains. Yankee Candle makes a scent called summer thunderstorm I need to go order some of those from the website! Just wish they were not 25 bucks!

I think that I would quite like your church!!
