Christmas Countdown - 2011

[caninemom3]

Sorry for not catching this sooner cm3! BUt I am outraged too and to tell you the truth this is a big part of why I can't sleep,I have already been in contact with the gov office of Ohio to voice my conscern about how this was dealt with...Words can't describe how angry I am about this. All I can do is ask anyone who cares about animals.please please read up on this story and let the officials in Ohio know that an investigation is in order on how this was carried out. The last straw for me was looking at the news and they were even showing pics of the slaughtered animals. I will get off my soapbox now. Oh and this was my 10,000th post I think...wish it was on a better topic!:-?

I am right there with you !!! Thank you for caring so much about this !! ((HUGS)) xo And congrats on 10,000 xo

Good evening,

I did get some exciting news when I got home, we may be going to New York City in December to see the Christmassy sights, and shopping. I have always wanted to go to NYC to see the decorations, and the city itself.

That will be lovely they say you should see new york at christmas befour you die" so am really jealious

 

[shellie12]

Hope this finds everyone well
Dry and cold there this morning. but its gives heavy rain later
2 pallets today i christmas and one hardwear. so might not be to bad
Still have not the christmas stuff out. cant get my head round putting it put to the day after halloween. not much really to say this morning
Saw the thing about the escaped animals. so sad. it was not there fault they got out. and to kill them. why could they not have used a stum gun just to put them to sleep to they got them back again. some people are so cruel
8 years ago after i finished my training as a vet nurse i was gonna go and gone the rspca (they are the ones over there that deal with cruelity to animals of all sizes. wood have loved that job. but after much though i turned it down as being honest i wood have got sacked from it. as i could not have stood and seen animals being treated cruelly and said nothing to the owners if they had of been there in front of me .i wood have had to tell them what i thought of them.
Any way the tea cup is emply so refull coming up
You all take care today and talk soon..

Good evening everybody. I'm just feeling a little bit down. Life is going by too fast and next year is going to be a big change for me since i will be in Year 11. It doesn't sound like much, but it's going to feel weird since half of my friends are going to another school. Mind you that this is the senior school i told you about. The deputy principal at my current school literally told me that i am forced to stay at my current school. I didn't even get a chance to make an impression for the senior school, because they didn't give me an interview with the senior school. All over an innocent mistake that can be fixed and solved so easily. It's just been making me feel sad, since i have been looking forward on going to that school for years, since it is just down the road from my house and now my current school is forcing me to stay. They can't force me. I'm not a caged animal, they can't tell me what to do. With the school year nearly finished, friends leaving, everybody moving on. I can't help but shed a tear. It's all so surreal. It seems like it was just yesterday that i was starting high school. At school, on Facebook, my friends have been saying and posting "Freshwater next year! Can't wait, i'm so excited!". Freshwater is the name of the school by the way. I know that i can still keep in touch with them, but it just won't feel the same since i won't be there with them experiencing Freshwater. I hang out with a group of 12 and 8 of them are leaving. The remaining 4 are not so close, there just guys that i have for company during class. Sadly, my friends that are girls are leaving as well. Pardon my French, but the majority of the girls at Freshwater are sluts. I know not to judge a book by it's cover, but knowing them for 4 years explains it all with them flashing, trashy photos on Facebook, etc. My best friend is staying, which is good, because he is my only friend that i can trust and we have gone through so much together in the past 4 years. Still, i don't really know what else to say regarding my feelings towards all of this. Sorry for the really long post, but this has been bugging me ever since that mishap with my application happened.

xmassox, i'm sorry for your situation. i know it's hard when you see others leaving & you're staying. a change of scenery is always nice, but on that note maybe you'll see others @ your school in a different light & become friends w/ some of them. if others will be coming to your school as well your new besties might be in the mix. don't you just hate it when someone tries to make your bad situation look good? lol
please don't get too discouraged, w/ a new batch of people @ your school maybe your school will "feel new". i will def be thinking of you & praying for your situation xmassox!!!!!

 

[merrymistletoe]

good A.M. my beatiful Christmas family!

oh my goodness, hubby & i went out on the front porch for coffee this morning & it 'bout took my breath away. it is sooooo chilly/cold out there. the wind is really whirling. hubby said while zipping his coat,"well summer is officially over now."i guess, but where did fall go? it totally felt like January out there.
brent, i am praying for your friend joe also.
thinking of taking Christmas cd's for us to listen to as we decorate the shop today. there's 1 girl who will gripe about it though, let's just say she's not my fave anyway.
happy Thursday to all ya'll! tgidbf!!! (thank God it's the day before Friday)
everyone be safe & stay well, bye-bye

Good morning! I just needed 10 more minutes of sleep and I think I would feel okay I just got to work and am getting started for an extra long shift today. We have a meeting at 7 am which will be so very hard to keep my eyes open. I need some toothpicks just in case to prop them up with! I saw alot of halloween lights lit up on the way to work this morning. I guess with it being the last 10 days before halloween everyone that is going to participate has already put thier decor out. It is a cool 44F this morning. I expect my trees in the yard to really start to turn now in the next 2 weeks. I will post pictures to my profile. Have a good day everyone! 5pm can't get here soon enough!

PS I am a Christmas Deity now! how cool is that

Good Thursdayalmostfriday morning everyone!
I am so tired. Can someone email me some sleep? It was my turn to get up and change William in the middle of the night. He sometimes wakes up and we have to put him back to sleep. Well this time when he got up at 3:15am he didn't get back to sleep. I'm running on about 3 hours sleep today. Very tired. LOL. Nothing really new other then I have the Christmas itch. The Christmas itch to decorate everything and wish everyone a Merry Christmas weather they like it or not HAHA! Hope everyone is doing well and if you all need any prayers, I have more then enough of them to go around! Have a great day all!

Well that just stinks !!! That is about as graphic as I dare get here....I am so sorry this has happened to you. School is tough enough without all this stuff happening. Just try to "keep your eye on the prize" and get a good eductation and I am sure someday you will be really rewarded xo

Good evening,

I am very tired tonight, I worked in the freezer where it was -10*F putting away 11 pallets of turkeys, chicken, etc... So needless to say my back hurts from all the lifting and moving, I was actually sweating in the cold air. Back there bright and early.
I did get some exciting news when I got home, we may be going to New York City in December to see the Christmassy sights, and shopping. I have always wanted to go to NYC to see the decorations, and the city itself.

Almost finished winding down, the fired Twinkies were amazing tonight, they taste better when there is a chill in the air.

Have a great night!

Wow !! That would be awesome !! I hope you get to go !! Oh......I sort of quoted you in my last blog......I hope it is okay !! ((HUGS)) xo

Undrtakr.....I hope you get to rest as well......xo

Thanks! I have an energy drink that I hope will kick into gear and wake me up. If not I'm getting a coffee.

well, you can do two things, accept it and throw your all into it , determining to make it your best year ever
or
you can fight it with all you got. Talk to everyone in aurthority, take your story to local government and ask them for help to fix it, keep being noisy about it until someone fixes it. (the noisy wheel gets the oil!)
Good luck with what ever choice you make, you will be fine either way!

Good chilly Thursday morning! It sounds like our weather is like merrymistletoe's! Dark/Cold/WINDY! I better get a good smelling candle going!

How did I miss the Pines yesterday? Guess my mind was on the little 3yo girl our friends had to bury yesteday. So, so, so very sad!!!

XmasRoxMySox - so sorry to hear about the situation with your school. Is there NOTHING you can do to change it? Hope it all works out!

Dawg - I can totally relate to the "just 10 more minutes!" Lol! We haven't been walking in the mornings b/c of the rainy/windy/cold weather so I have been getting more sleep than normal...but w/o my morning walk, I drag all day!! This morning I think my alarm went off 6 times...and I had an extra 1 1/2 hrs sleep! UGH!
Undrtakr - I'll try to email you some of that extra sleep I got! It sure didn't make me feel any better anyway! Ha ha!!

Make it a great day!

Good Morning, my Over-The-Hump Friends and Christmas Neighbors.

Boo!
< Whaaat? >
We're adding a Halloween component to the count, that's what!

Days to Halloween: 11 (Wow! Single digits the day after tomorrow!)
Days to the Season: 24
Days to Christmas Day: 66
Now UNDER 3 1/2 weeks until Christmas Season 2011 begins!

Brrrr. A coolish 50 degrees here this morning with a wind component. Made for a chilly walk with the dog this morning.
Sunny, though, with a reduced chance of rain.

You have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks.
(Weekend Eve will be here tomorrow, you know!)

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!!! It is just nasty here today. It's raining for the 3rd straight day and now the wind has really picked up. It's going to be a great day to turn on some christmas movies and kick back with some hot chocolate. I also want to search for some new side dish recipes to try out before thanksgiving. I should have done this over the summer but I'm just running a little behind this year. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
