Good morning everyone! I have decided I just want an early spring....It's windy and very cold outside this morning...actually it's 37F but that feels very cold to me...THe holidays are over and I say bring on spring...! I hate that the radio's all have gone back to regular programming.... I am not the type to listen to Xmas music all year but I think it cool to play it at least through the 1st of january!!! both of my local stations have gone back to normal programming. I just turned on my xm stations on dish net work and they still are playing holiday music!

Hey, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful day. I was hoping to relax, but it didn't turn out that way. I promised my mom that I would dye her hair for her - long story short, I started to feel extremely lightheaded about halfway through and I thought I was going to pass out. I couldn't leave her hair undone, so I had to keep getting up from the couch and working on it for a minute or so at a time. Hopefully it was just a fluke from the chemicals in the hair dye -- don't want to be out and about and experiencing that! If my couch wasn't thirty seconds away, I would have been in some trouble. I've dyed her hair in the past with the same stuff before, though, so I'm wondering why now and not then!

My family and I just sat in the living room, snacked on some cheese and crackers, and watched the Penguins game. Now that it's over, I'm going to watch Home Alone 1.

Have a good night, everyone!

So funny you should mention Hair dye! I just woke up from a dream where I dyed my hair blonde.lol Which is really nuts because I have a buzzed hair cut and it's black I would look like a freak with blonde hair...but in my dream I was dying it myself in the bathroom...dream analyst anyone????

I got some not so good news from my doctor over the phone the day before Christmas Eve. She was vague, so I don't have all of the details, but will share more when I know more. That has been on our minds ever since, so Christmas was bittersweet. Not trying to be a downer..

I'm very grateful to have my family here, so just trying to balance it all & still be a good hostess! I miss you guys & hope all is well in your ends of the world!

praying all will be well

Do not do it! It does not work and usually only makes mom sick. I know, tried them all. My daughter was 16 days over due, tried rough roads, Castor oil, walking etc, etc. Then threw up, lived on the toilet for a day and was even more achy and uncomfortable for days on top of looking like a mac truck with a full load.
Babies come when babies come, as much as we would love to make it happen sooner, not worth it! Just relax and save the energy for when it will be needed, and it will be needed!

Good evening, friends~

Hope you all had a nice day!
Ours was good, but busy. We still have a full house.

Had to go grocery shopping today, all we had left was ham, Christmas cookies, and chocolates :-D

How are you all coming with the post Christmas blues? I am hanging in, but a bit sad just the same. Sounds of the seasons helps, as well as Hallmark movies for the rest of the week.

Sending hugs~

XMas, hope you're doing well & feeling better.

Take care, friends!! :rudolph:

Snowflake, you are in my thoughts and prayers!!! ((((HUGS))))

Good morning, MMC!

I hope this finds all of you well!

The beautiful snow that fell yesterday now looks more like snow covered ice clumps - I don't want to go out today! They are working on the roads, though, so it should be in good shape when I leave later this afternoon.

Mouse is doing well - back to her usual morning routine. Palmer is playing with her spiky jingle ball - what a joyous sound

Have a MERRY day, my friends - and stay safe!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning.

Hey!
Christmas Season Day #46.
Not much time left to the end of the year, you know.
Any interesting pre New Year's plans?

Well, how about this:
Head out today to the old Shispering Pines for Carl's end-of-the-year bash!
Last chance to visit the 'Pine in 2011!
I'm sure there will be champagne, and no doubt lampshades will be passed out at the door.
(Taken off leftover leg lamps, perhaps?)

Regardless, you have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everybody!

Hey there, Leen -- old building and loan mystery twin pal o' mine!

This thread will shut down promptly at 12:00 AM on 1-1-12, with "Christmas Countdown 2012" to be launched right afterwards.

Holiday · Dec 28, 2011

Good morning!!!

Party at the Pines!!! Forget the coffee/tea - it's wine at the pine today!!! :dance:

Hard to believe we are talking about shutting down the thread to start a new year thread - already!!!

I don't have much planned for my day off today. There are plenty of things I should be doing, but thinking about a nap while watching The Three Gifts on Hallmark. Got up early & walked this morning & now the sleepies are setting in...

Make it a great day!

For me, the Christmas Blues start on New Year's Day, after the tree is all down and decorations all put away. Every year i always get teary eyed taking down the decorations with my family. My mom always reminds me that it is Christmas in my heart all year because of Jesus.

On Jan 7th I will be taking down my grandma's tree which will be hard because we know this could have been her last Christmas especially since people say if your elderly and your spouse passes, the left behind spouse could pass anytime after that

Good Morning Everyone!!!!! It is a cold morning here but we are supposed to get up into the mid 40's this afternoon. The snow we got yesterday has pretty much melted already but it looks like we may get some more on sunday. I need to clean out some of my kitchen cabinets today to make room for some new dishes that I got and my new waffle and mini donut makers. Then it will be off to the Pines to enjoy the party. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have a clinic like Primacare? They are open 7 days a week. That is where I go when doctors offices are closed or filled up on appointments. They should take all insurance. Wayne has gone there with his.

Hope you get well soon!

My tree is still up but believe it or not last night I did put a few decorations off and packed them back up... I still have the angel on top and it's lighted of course...Brandi is the type of person that things the 26th is time to take it down...I am trying to change her way of thinking. I plan to take it down and all my indoor lights off on the 2nd of Jan...
