Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Christmas-A-Holic]

I just might sneak in a few Christmas decorations, too :grin:

I still have Christmas decorations around the house that stay out all year! They are little ones but scattered around in the kitchen, livingroom, den and office.

Got a sick dog....waiting for the vet to open so we can get him in. Don't know what's wrong...yesterday, he was fine....last night, he had the shakes and today he is very uncomfortable. I'm sure everything will be ok. He's a big ol' tough one.

See everybody later...about to watch some NFL football coverage and cook supper... .

I hope your baby will be ok! I hate when animals get sick and can't tell you what's wrong.

For the good news.....Go Cowboys!

May you all have a Super Sunday.
And may the NFL team of your choice prove victorious.
I have mixed feelings today. The Packers and the Panthers - my 2 favorite teams - play each other. Don't want to see either of them loose!
(Maybe I'll just watch something else.)

As I just told Ballcoach....... Go Cowboys! =)

You can't go wrong with your game today. Looks like you will be happy with either team winning!

I think I am feeling worse today than any day so far, I am supposed to be going back to work tomorrow. Not much on the docket for today, I will be sitting in my indention that I have made on the couch the last 5 days.

I sure hope you feel well enough to go to work. You probably need another day off!

Harlowe, our pup, had another episode last night. She's almost done with her steroid meds & liver support, so I'm hoping that it was just a bad stomach upset/side effect. Please say some prayers for her. We will take her to the vet again in a couple of weeks after the meds are out of her system to do a liver function test. Fingers are crossed.

Time to turn on some Christmas music & get a few things done around the house before football starts!

Hope you all have a beautiful day!

Stacey :grin:

I hope Harlowe gets better!!!

Hello all!

Happy 2nd week of pro football/Emmy Awards day! I'm hoping my teams do a bit better than last week (NONE of them won, and two were blown out)!! So glad Penn State squeaked out a win yesterday, and (sorry Buckeye fans) Miami beat Ohio State so everyone in my neck of the woods is celebrating! I'm about to finalize my fantasy football teams...I did well last week so I hope I can duplicate!

Currently I'm switching between watching SVU and Four Weddings...I don't like the SVU eps where Elliot and Olivia aren't together (call me weird, I'm an SVU purist!) and I can't resist a wedding show! So...don't really know if anything exciting will happen other than that, watching football/fantasy results/Mariska (hopefully) winning another Emmy tonight...just call me Ms. Excitement over here! I might write out some postcards too for some groups I'm in.

Hope everyone has a great and relaxing Sunday!

Ballcoach: I hope all is well with your dog - I will keep him in my prayers!

Snowflake22: I will be praying all is well with Harlowe!! What a great name for a dog!

xmas365: I hope you are better soon!

A very autumnal Sunday here---cool and partly sunny. We went out for a big lunch yesterday and went to the Christmas Tree Shop afterward. Not much Christmas stuff out yet (mostly fall and Halloween stuff), but I got a bargain on some of my favorite tea, and we scored some good Christmas CDs. Every year I'm sure I have enough Christmas music, but every year I find something to add to the collection ...

I've corrupted Mr. We've done some early Christmas shopping, we've been sketching out the clips for this year's Christmas-themed DVD, and he's in the mood to do some gift-wrapping and card-signing today!

I recently watched A Hollywood Christmas, and it was excellent. But, it's more of a documantary hosted by Jane Seymour about how Christmas movies began back in 1898, up until modern day. It shows many clips, as well. Very interesting & nostalgic!

I'm not sure if we have that, but I'd love to see it. We're vintage film fans and film historians here, so we enjoy film history documentaries (although sometimes we yell at the screen when they get something wrong). cheesy

I've been a MMC Member for quite some time, but always a "reader" and not a poster. ...

A big welcome, drexelius! You're certainly in the right place! Jump right in and keep posting!

Looky here! So fitting for football today and Christmasy!

Go Cowboys!!!!

I am not taking away the true meaning of the star but thought it was cute that they put the Cowboys star in it. =)

Good morning, Christmas friends. It is supposed to be in the high 90s today, but Hubby and I are doing something Thanksgivingy: we are having turkey, mashed potatoes with homemade gravy, Repieno di Salsicce (Italian stuffing), cranberry sauce, rolls, and one other veggie. BUT Hubby has to watch football, then he will get started on cooking the turkey which is brining right now in a maple brine. I am definitely looking forward to dinner!

Good afternoon, everyone!

I had a more lengthly post earlier, but for some reason the page refreshed and I lost it. Currently, I am enjoying FOX NFL Sunday as I prepare for the Packers/Panthers game. I do not expect it to be broadcasted here and I do not have NFL Sunday Ticket, therefore, I think I may have to stream the game.

In Christmas news, I spotted my very first sign of the (fast approaching) Season in the grocery store a block away from my apartment. I saw these signs last year, but I believe that they were not until October. As soon as I saw it, I snapped a photo on the Blackberry. Now that I have a BB, I will definitely contribute more signs of the Season this year... Enjoy!

AND...

Funny again. Did you use the Ralphie effect on her?

I received a flyer from Toys R Us today, and they are having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on a lot of different toys for different age groups, I wish I could get out there today to do some Christmas shopping.

Have a great football Sunday!

You're welcome. Other than Hallmark, I haven't yet seen any ornaments! Great that you've seen some though!

 

[drexelius]

Thanks Bradmac for the nice welcome! I see you've picked up on my lifelong nickname already. Last name is Drexelius and everyone I know naturally calls me (and pretty much the rest of my family) Drex.

I'm nuts too! I want to decorate too!

I was sleeping when you posted this. =)

Perhaps I'll put Santa hats on the ghoulish goblins I'll be hanging up soon outside hahahaha
Oh I can't wait to decorate!

And I always forget that we're all in different time zones on here!! Hahaa.
Not to mention I'm a partial night hawk...
