Christmas Countdown - 2011

[MerryCarey]

A hot and sunny Sunday here in New England! I'll find something to do in the cool indoors. We fixed pancakes and waffles for breakfast. Hooray for Bisquick!

xmas365, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and in my heart.

CAH, I hope you're feeling better soon! Suffering through a feverish bug in the summertime is the pits. One of the worst bouts of flu I ever had was in August. That was a few decades ago, and I still remember how awful it was.

I do feel a little bit better today and debating if I should go to work or not. I am still weak and feel sluggish but not near as bad as yesterday. I already called my boss yesterday for a back up just in case I can't come in. I know them all too well up there and even if I say I am feeling better they will insist I stay home and rest until I am 100% better. We will see.

My two cents---take care of yourself today and don't push it. Even though you're better than yesterday, if you're still weak and sluggish, your body's trying to tell you something. Thank goodness you've got a workplace that's willing to allow you time to get better!

Trackrebel, I asked you this in an earlier post but not sure if you replied, if you did I missed it. (I do that sometimes, lol)

The amusement park you went to do they open during the Christmas holidays? I think it would be a beautiful place to visit if so. =)

I am not sure wether I once answered this or not....lol.....the one we went to yesterday...I am not sure if the actual amusement opens during the holiday season....but this park is combined with a wildlife park.....deer, bears, foxes and animals like this....and this one is open during the holiday season....and it is called Animal Christmas

The park I wrote about it my last post here Europa Park has open during Halloween and then close and open again by the end of November til early January.....everything there is Christmassy, more than a million lights, a Christmas parade.....even the rollercoasters are decorated.......the mascots are dressed Christmassy, the shows being shown all have a christmas theme and since it is in a region of Germany that gets lots of snow.....it makes it even more perfect

there are even some of the outside rollercoasters open...not all of them....since they are too high and it might get dangerous.....while breathing....and for the breaks...

the funny and nasty thing is....my bro and I rode the one that was open....and our snot froze underneath our noses lol

Great story, Track....literally made me laugh out loud.

Guys, I'm home! So excited! I was here reading everyday, but for some reason, I couldn't post! It was sooooooo stupid! But that's all behind me, now. Great trip.

For today, I'm going to catch up on yardwork and read over some of my notes. Also, I've decided that I'm going to spend time preparing my schedule for Christmas holidays. I've got to start getting it organized because my to-do list will begin in August......

Hope you have a great Sunday....missed you guys!

Just for the record, I saw a guy who looked just like GABulldawg.

I miss that dude....

Have a good night.

RIP Memere.

I'm so sorry, xmas - I'm praying for you and your family ((((hugs))))

I wish everyone of You a blessed Sunday.

We were in the amusement Park Tripsdrill yesterday....and we loved it....they had two rollercoasters suitable for children....one starting at 3 the other terone 4 years....Kandice did both and luved it. They had a children wild water ride....and she loved it......they had another wild water ride...but she would have had to be 6 to do it....and I follow dem rules....there was yet another wild water ride...u sit in round boats and go through wild waters.....Kandice was laughing so hard....it was beautiful.....and besides that a lot of other cute and fun things to do....very folklore and laid back.......and then.....my first wooden roller coaster of my life.......when I was young....there were none....anywhere....same when I was a teenager....it seems to be the new thing to build them now.....get that oldskool feeling.....and I loved it, too.........we rounded the day up with a delicious meal from good ole McD s

Have a blessed Sunday, too, track! What a great memory you made for Kandice!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!! It is going to be hot one here in central Indy and it's just going to get worse as the week goes on. Thankfully there will be plenty of Christmas in July programing to help us feel a little cooler. I am getting ready to head out for breakfast and then it will be on to church. This afternoon I have some reading to do while I am watching the nascar race. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hot here, too - supposed to get up into the 100s later this week.

Well my sweety seems to be feeling somewhat better today, nowhere near 100%, but better than yesterday. Today is gonna be a rest and recovery day, and get her strength back. Thanks everyone for your well wishes.

I'm glad she's feeling better and that you are there for her!

I do feel a little bit better today and debating if I should go to work or not. I am still weak and feel sluggish but not near as bad as yesterday.

Hope this finds you better and not pushing things - you don't want to have a setback1

That sounds so cool - I want to go :rudolph:

Just like I thought, I called my boss and he said for me to stay home and rest up, he already has someone coming in to take my place. It's probably for the best because when I stand too long I get a bit dizzy. At my job we are on our feet all day.

Track, those pictures are amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Good hot and steamy Sunday afternoon, MMC!

Wow - it is warm out. I have made enough food for the next few days so I don't have to heat the house up by cooking. The other days I will be utilizing the microwave - I made brownies in them the other day and they turned out quite well.

I banged my knee up on the corner of my desk about an hour ago - it is very red, but not swollen yet. I'll probably have quite the bruise tomorrow. The good news is that I finished my hours today - I have the rest of the afternoon and evening off cheesy

Have a great day and stay cool and hydrated!!!!!!!!!

 

[Christmasstar]

what a nice day! Hot, but nice inside.(33c which is about 92f)
No place to go, no one coming over, work is done...well kitchen needs cleaning, but it can wait!
So I can watch movies and hang out here the rest of the day.
:dance:

Good afternoon my wonderful Christmas family !!

Another hot one today here in NE Ohio, just like where Made is !! We share a lot of the same weather I think being that our states are pretty close to one another.

First, let me start by telling you Xmas, I am sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Even though I believe your wife's grandma IS in a better place, it doesn't make the loss easier. xo

CAH - I am so worried about you !!!! I hope you feel better xooxoxoxox


I have news too. For once it is happy news !! I adopted another kitty !!

We were at the place where we found Smokey yesterday and there were a litter of kittens that Just took my heart. Well all animals take my heart but this one little baby seemed to reach right into my soul.

She is black, 11 weeks old, has white tips on all four feet and a white spot under her chin and amber eyes. I only had to hold for milliseconds before I knew. This is my baby. Her name is Lily !!

I named her after Harry Potter's mom (I can hear the groans now !)

Smokey is not so crazy about his sister yet. In fact he let me know in no uncertain terms he thinks it is my fault !! But after a little time and extra love he is coming around again. I think in time they will be inseparable. I will post pics of Lily soon !!

That's the thing with being a Pet mom I guess. You never really know when you are "expecting" or when your "due date" is !!!!!!

I was "expecting" and didn't even know it !!

I hope all are well. I hope I remember how to take care of such a little one !! She slept with me all night cuddled up under my chin xo

Have a great day, Christmas Family - I Love you all xoxoxox

:rudolph:

CM3 - congratulations on your new baby - looking forward to seeing the pictures!

No groans here! I am not a Harry Potter fan but if that is close to your heart, by all means you should name your new baby after something you love! I would do the same of what I am a fan of even if others are not crazy about it. =)

I am happy for you adopting a new fur child! I can't wait to see the pictures!

 

[trackrebel]

[trackrebel]

My first thought was that you named her after Lily Munster - but that is because I just named my little black kitten with the spot of white on her chest, Morticia cheesy
