Christmas Countdown - 2011

[gabulldawg]

Still in Denver still sick actually worse than yesterday...the plane this morning was booked I was on standby did not make it so now I am waiting for a later one. I talked with brandi and luckily she made it to Wellesley,Mass without a hitch! I am glad one of us had good luck..I think it may even snow in Mass while she is there..It is snowing at my folks house too If I can just get there!! I hope everyone is having a good day! Just 2 days till turkey day,I hope I have an appetite by then.

 

[Seawaters]

I hear you on the appetite thing, Dawg. I am tired of being tired and sick. This sinus headache seems to linger. I am glad that I am not cooking this year, the first in MANY years. I just do not have the energy. Maybe tomorrow!

hi everybody......finally startin to decorate a little at least now....lol....I am way behind scedule...lol...wanted to have everything decorated by Sunday...anyhow....gotta be done this week, since Sunday will be the 1st Advent Sunday....and there is no way I will not have my house decorated by then...lol

on a more serious note...Please pray for my grandfather Otto....he had to have a minor surgery on his foot...actually both feet...now the doctor was puzzled because during the surgery there was hardly any blood coming.....seems that gramp s veines are so stuff that the feet hardly get any blood...there are ways to fix it...but with gramps health and everything things dont look too good....first he is too old and second it could be the venes are so stuffed that there is hardly any way to get through them....so in the end....and this is what I would like You guys to pray for him.....he might end up losing both of his feet....and that would kill his heart. Please pray for my grandfather so there is a way to fix this...even tho he is 82 and I knew every day something could happen...this is just the circle of life...the thought of him having to leave us is breaking me totally...so please pray for him

thank You my dear friends in advance

Good afternoon!

I hope this finds everyone doing well!

Gabulldawg: I hope you are better soon! Have a safe trip!

CAH: I hope your tiredness goes away!

CM3: You can never have too many angels, imo!

Snowflake: the She and Him Christmas wasn't bad - very mellow! ZD has a gorgeous voice - lights off, tree lit and watching the snow fall outside would be a great setting to listen to it again. I'm glad you are feeling better! Hugs to you and Harlowe (((HUGS)))

Thanks, Meceka Hugs back to you, Mouse, and Palmer!! I'll have to check out their CD, sounds festive & fabulous!

Holiday: I'm glad you got to see TSO!

vsuclaribnl: OMG, what a gorgeous dress - you will be such a beautiful bride!!

Another long day! I am going to relax the rest of the day as tomorrow it will be non-stop running.

Have a MERRY evening!!!!!!!

Good evening,

First of all, I just want to apologize for being pretty anti-social for the last week, it has been probably the roughest week I have ever had at work, but all my numbers are way up, and for that reason I got one of my associates finally promoted to full time. I feel good for him, he has done a great job and it is well deserved for him. We have been kicking butt, and my area has carried the store. Tomorrow, no rest for the weary here, I am planning to get all of my outdoor decorating done, and two of my trees inside up and lights on them.

I am exhausted again, I will wish you all a good night!

Sorry it has been a rough week, hope you get everything accomplished today with your decorating. And way to go at work!! That's something to be proud of!

Tomorrow from 8-3....school

Tomorrow at 3:00- Thanksgiving 2011 begins!

Action packed day tomorrow and Wednesday. I have my schedule made out and I"m ready to go....I am so excited. Pretty much cooking non-stop from tomorrow until Wednesday around 5:00....I plan on nothing but cooking and reading posts for 1.5 days....

I'm so thankful for all of you....

Very thankful for you as well! Happy Thanksgiving, coach!

Happy Thanksgiving, family.

31 days till DARLENE LOVE IS ON LETTERMEN

YABBA!

Binger, I just thought of you! Darlene Love's "Winter Wonderland" was just on the radio. It was beautiful!

Thanksgiving is in a couple of days. What are you thankful for?

I agree with Coach, I am VERY thankful for all of you! Even though we never met face to face I feel a close bond with you all and enjoy our conversations throughout the year.

I am thankful for my family, friends, furchildren, my job, my church, my home and all the other necessities that God has provided me.

Even if you are somewhere you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, still tell us what you are thankful for. =)

Thankful for you & the rest of our MMC friends, CAH!

Good Morning, Christmas family!

Just wanted to stop by & say hello~ Hope all is well!

My wonderful husband surprised me & went out and bought some battery operated lights for the garlands on the staircase. They look fabulous! You can either put them on just white lights, multi-colored, or a mixture of both. I love them, just what I was looking for.

It's so wonderful to have Christmas music on the radio, movies on tv, and have all of you here!

Thinking of you all today and everyday.

 

[Tickle]

Sounds like a nice surprise snowflake. Made what is the update on person manning?

YABBA!

Can't Wait Bing !!!! xo

OK who else is doing the Turkey Bowling at the Pines?

YABBA!

I want to !! But as I am left handed I have a MEAN hook when I bowl !! xo

Tell me about a mess!!! I did a lot of baking yesterday and it seemed like it took me forever to clean the kitchen when I was done!

Can't wait to see pictures of your gingerbread house!

I have always wanted to make a gingerbread house ! Cant wait to see pictures !!

It's wonderful to visit here and see folks bubbling over with Thanksgiving and Christmas anticipation---and being able to share in it makes it more wonderful. Bless you all!



When my cookbooks shipped, I got emails from PayPal letting me know, and each one contained a link to the tracking.



I heartily agree. I'm also thankful for a wonderful husband who's also my best friend in the world, a snug home, and many other blessings. I tend to worry about my troubles, big and small, but I can't deny that I have a ton of wonderful blessings.

(I've used the word "wonderful" three times in one post---well, if the shoe fits---!)

We are thankful for your WONDERFUL presence, friendship and talent ((HUGS)) xo

Your plan sounds wonderful. Also, I, too, am thankful for all of you. This has honestly been a glorious year for us here on MMC, thanks to all of YOU!

Love you Seawaters xo ((HUGS))

The workday is going by so slowly. But I think I prefer that to being crazy-hectic-busy today.

Still in Denver still sick actually worse than yesterday...the plane this morning was booked I was on standby did not make it so now I am waiting for a later one.

Just 2 days till turkey day,I hope I have an appetite by then.

I sure hope you're feeling better in time to have a great Thanksgiving dinner ... enjoy spending it with your folks, and I hope you get snow! BTW, if Brandi is in Wellesley, she's only a few miles from us. But sorry to say there's no snow in the forecast for around here.

I hear you on the appetite thing, Dawg. I am tired of being tired and sick. This sinus headache seems to linger. I am glad that I am not cooking this year, the first in MANY years. I just do not have the energy. Maybe tomorrow!

I hope you get your energy back soon, SW---maybe you're still healing. That can take a toll on your energy level, as well as the sinus trouble. Take care of yourself and get your pep back up soon!

on a more serious note...Please pray for my grandfather Otto....he had to have a minor surgery on his foot...actually both feet...now the doctor was puzzled because during the surgery there was hardly any blood coming.....seems that gramp s veines are so stuff that the feet hardly get any blood...there are ways to fix it...but with gramps health and everything things dont look too good....first he is too old and second it could be the venes are so stuffed that there is hardly any way to get through them....so in the end....and this is what I would like You guys to pray for him.....he might end up losing both of his feet....and that would kill his heart.

Prayers are going up for your gramps, track.

My wonderful husband surprised me & went out and bought some battery operated lights for the garlands on the staircase. They look fabulous! You can either put them on just white lights, multi-colored, or a mixture of both. I love them, just what I was looking for.

Multicolored mixed with white is so beautiful! Some years ago we bought a pre-lit tree that was multicolored, but we replaced a bunch of the bulbs with white. It looks lovely!

I want to !! But as I am left handed I have a MEAN hook when I bowl !! xo

I didn't know you were a leftie! Both my grandfathers were lefties, but I'm right-handed. But I believe I'm "recessively left-handed."

We are thankful for your WONDERFUL presence, friendship and talent ((HUGS)) xo

Thank you for being so sweet and generous!

I can't get my mind on work!

Have you guys seen this?! It's HILARIOUS!!

It started with the return of Sidney Crosby, but as soon as the Bruins came on, it remained on the Bruins/Canadiens game until it ended. Great to see the Bruins win a 1-0 game against the Habs! And, of course, it's always great to see the classy Andrew Ference score in Montreal!

Great games, the one finger salute or umm, "equipment malfunction" was the first thing that popped in my mind when Ference scored last night. Crosby looked amazing last night, he looked like he didn't miss a beat, I wonder if he could pull a Mario and win the scoring race after so much time off. I am a fan of "The Kid" he is a good role model for my boys, and we named one of our cats after him. Maybe a rumble in Buffalo tomorrow night for the Sabres vs Looch and the Bruins, too bad I am working tomorrow night.

Good afternoon,

Outdoor decorating has taken me quite a bit longer than I thought it would, still not done. I had to stop to go get an oil change for the minivan, and have lunch. Back outside I go.


Talk soon
