Christmas Countdown - 2011

[MsChristmas]

Just dropping by to say hello. I've been staying home today nursing my cold with plenty of fluids and movies (a nice double feature of "The Shop Around the Corner" and "You've Got Mail"---I may go for a triple with "In the Good Old Summertime," because all three are based on the same story). Slept fine last night, and I think the cold is breaking up. I'm going to stay home one more day tomorrow to hopefully get it well and truly broken up. I'm hoping it doesn't hang on like my colds have a habit of doing. My voice usually stays in the bass range for days when I get a cold. Thank heaven I completed my podcast work early.

I'm thinking about everybody and wishing you all well. Even when I'm feeling lousy, I can always get a smile by dropping in here for a visit.

I hope you feel better soon!

Dude, that was a lot of work!

The future Mayor says "dude"?! That's like totally awesome!

Wayne and I are getting a chuckle out of the word because my son was hooked on that word for awhile and we would tease him about it. :lol:

Hello MMC family and Happy Thursday to everyone! Welcome to the 'bers! I am so excited! It will offically be fall before we know it! I have lots to do today! I never did get all of my daughter's clothes packed away yesterday because my husband had to go away for a few hours, so I was quite busy with both kids for that time period. I guess we'll see what I get accomplished today, but it's not looking good already...lol. We also have to go grocery shopping this afternoon, so that will take up some good time...always does. Well, I guess I better head off and start...everyone have a GREAT day! I will check back later on. Oh and by the way...GOOOO STEELERS - it's gameday!

Actually my grandkids have been dealing with a cold this week so I caught it from them. I was suppose to have a long day with the kids today but my son in law called and will be home with them. He is sick too! =(

I wasn't sure how I was going to hold up to keeping them but now I can rest!

Hope you feel better as well! It does seem to be going around!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

Jacob and I finally got the last of that huge pecan limb out of the yard yesterday. They say pecan trees are self-pruning, meaning limbs break out regularly, but I wish they were self-cleaning, too. Dude, that was a lot of work!

I have to cut shrubs back, and cut the grass today. Jacob's birthday party is this weekend, and I have to work at the store Saturday, and bird hunting season starts Saturday, so it's a busy weekend!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Happy Birthday to Jacob! Hope he has a great birthday party!

Happy September 1st everyone! This is a very busy time for me because I coach youth football which I really enjoy. This year I have the 9 and 10 year olds and they are great kids.This keeps me busy right up till Nov 1 practice 4 nights a week games on Saturdays and Sunday's and I woudnt trade it for anything but I must say parents can be awful. The NFL is not giving contracts to 9 year olds, I wish parents would understand that and just let them have fun. Its the same thing every year!!!!!

 

[brittd19]

Happy Anniversary!

Thank you so much

 

[brittd19]

I knew you all would be as excited as I am about it being September 1! I am sooo tempted to pull out the fall decorations but I think I'll wait until I take down my "Americana" stuff after September 11.. it'll be a struggle to leave those gorgeous fall leaves and pumpkins and such in the basement for 10 more days, though!!

Put the Fall Decorations out..... c'mon... you know you want too...:???:

Good afternoon, Christmas family

Some very good news first: My brother-in-law, Wes, who had the major surgery got his first checkup CAT scan yesterday and all is PERFECT. The graft has not slipped and it is not leaking !!! I am so glad. He still is not quite his ornery self, but that was one MAJOR surgery to go through and he IS older. In fact he is getting ready to celebrate his 71st birthday.

Some sad news: Wishbone had the worst episode ever this morning. It took him two hours to get back to the point where it was safe for him to get down and walk. I think I am losing him. But maybe not. I have to remember to take one day at a time. One thing is for certain, I will NOT allow him to lead a life that is not 100% quality just because I am selfish. Sorry to be a "gloombust" (my own word for someone who is always pessimistic:x) I know everyone is very excited about Fall and Chrsitmas. I am too but Wish's episode this morning kind of really knocked me for a loop. Plus I have extreme asthma right now.

I am sure things will be better soon. Have a wonderful day Christmas family xo

Glad to hear Wes Is doing Well & that there have been no complications!!! Thats actually great news :!!

Not so glad to hear about wishbone though. Poor Little guy, I really hope he gets better, it's always so hard when your pets are ill, or something goes wonky, because they can't verbalize whats wrong.. so in a sense you feel a bit helpless... But my Dearest CM3, you are doing the best you can in this situation...Loving wish unconditionally If you don't mind me asking.. what exactly are his "episodes"?? I also hope your asthma calms down! It can get pretty brutal!

Glad to hear your brother-in-law is feeling better and doing so well. As for Wishbone, I am so sorry to hear this. I pray that he feels better soon. Our animals are truly are family and it is sooo hard when things like this happens. I will say a pray for Wishbone and you! I hope you're asthma quits acting up too! I had it as a child - it can be sooo scary.

Hi Britt ! No, I dont mind you asking at all. Well, his "episodes"start with him not being able to stand up, he wobbles and such like he is drunk or something. It is not exactly a seizure because he knows EXACTLY what is going on the whole time, never loses consciousness and always knows everyone around him and where he is. His head also kind of gets like a bobblehead. That is pretty much the extent of it. The vet thought it was a brain tumor but then he also is considering a problem with Wish's heart. I just don't know.............Thanks, Britt, for asking. You are so sweet xo

HI glad to hear wes doing good... and so sorry to hear about wee wishbone i no how you are feeling but hopefully he will be happy and in no pain to continue with a very caring owner for a while yet. i had a wee dog and it had heart failure was horrable..but he was in good hands as my vet was a friend and i was trained as a vetierinary nurse so knew the crack and done all i could ... you never want to let them go. but as long as the wee thing is not in pain maybe he can stay a while yet .

I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks, Ms---I'm back at the office today, much better except for feeling run-down. The office is supposed to close early tomorrow (unless a demanding client decides to pull rank---not too unlikely), so maybe I can get a little extra rest.

OH CM3... I am happy about Wes, but will be hoping that Wishbone has more good days ahead... :}

 

[lauriebear]

Hi everyone, just a fast hello the 1st of the ber's is starting off with a bang!!! They are gearing up for September 11th so we have to have certian things in place I got home so late I missed the Pines, but there is always next week!!! If I don't get a chance to post again, when the Mayor's office calls to yell at us again, I will think of all of you and the Merry thoughts that prevail here!!!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Happy Anniversary Britt!

CM3, good news about Wes but sorry to hear about Wish. I sure hope he recovers quickly and quit having episodes.

Take care of yourself with that asthma! I had it as a child and my mom did too. Now my son and grandson both have it. I hate it! Do you have a nebulizer to treat it or just an inhaler?
