Christmas Countdown - 2012

[caninemom3]

Good morning!
Stormy weather here today and 48.2F (9c)
Autumn is here!!

I still have this cold.
Drinking coffee like its water - just to wake up..

All Norway has been looking for a 16 year old girl that have been missing
for a month now. They found here yesterday - murdered.
It's terrible. Two men are arrested (age 37 and 64(!))
Poor girl.. Are not looking forward to hear what happened to her...


Hope everyone is doing well here at MMC!
Wish you all a Beautiful Wednesday! =]
And now I will cath up!

I am so sorry for the loss her family and loved ones are suffering......Prayers going up for them....xo I hope you get better soon xoxo

 

[caninemom3]

Good morning Christmas Peeps I will be calling my doctor today to find out the results (or at least I hope I can over the phone) so please if you have a spare positive vibe or prayer available ... Send it over to the TDot

I wish you all a day filled with giggles and thoughts of a very merry Christmas!

Praying for you my dear friend xo

Good Morning, My Many Merry Middle Friends.

Ah!
It is indeed once again mid-week.
Time to take a pause, stretch, and plan for that visit to the Shispering Pines to enjoy a tall one while watching Carl in action.

Speaking of action, check this out:
Days to the Season: 69
Days to Christmas Day: 111
Day after tomorrow, Folks -- SINGLE DIGITS to the 100-day Christmas Day Milestone, on the heels of which we enter double-double digit territory where everything starts to move in fast motion.
A time when you better start thinking of Christmas plans!
Too soon you say?
Well.....just remember years past when you suddenly found yourself nearly out of time!

Humid still, but not so hot. All in all, yesterday was fairly pleasant.
I read 72 degrees here, currently.

May a Wonderful Wednesday be yours for the taking today, Everyone.
And may your visit to the 'Pines meet and surpass your expectations.
(Carl will do his best, anyway!)

Welcome back Crown !!! xo

Hoping your feeling a bit better this evening and be able to get back to work friday

Thank you ... I still feel the fatigue, but I'm not as wobbly as I felt this morning. I'm sure I'll be back to work Friday. [fingers crossed]
Mr. will be home this evening---I know that will make me feel better.

If my sister calls me one more time to complain about my other sister, I'm going to go crazy.

You could always leave it of the hook or pull it out of the wall ~}

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Today is my son's birthday. How can he be 15 years old?!? It seems like it was yesterday. I wish he were still small enough for me to walk around with on my shoulders, but times change. I'm very proud of the young man he's growing to be, though. He's a good boy.

We're having hotwings and pizza tonight for him...his favorite! More turkey for me. :lol:

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

A very happy birthday to your baby, Brad xoxo !!! ......and Gobble gobble !!! xo

 

[caninemom3]

I'm here ... I've been flat-out with a virus since Sunday. It's a super-cold with headaches and fatigue and other TMI "delights." The symptoms are getting out of my system, but I'm still wobbly. They've got a temp covering for me at the office, and I'm planning to go back to work Friday.



Happy to meet you! Don't try to catch up, just jump in.

I was afraid you may be really sick......((((Merry)))) xo Feel better xo

Deleks are Dr. Who's bad guys. The Borg from Star Trek use the "resistance is futile" line.

What can I say? I'm a scifi nerd!

That's okay !! My sister is too !! xo:give:

 

[caninemom3]

If my sister calls me one more time to complain about my other sister, I'm going to go crazy.

Oh my.............you poor thing..xoxoxo:gift:

 

[caninemom3]

Evening all :yahoo:

Good evening, Irishsnow !! How are you ?? xo

 

[caninemom3]

Good evening, Christmas family !

Have I ever said how much I LOVE my new company and job ?? Well, I do !!! I typed this morning for a bit then got ready for my doctor appointment, logged off and that was that !! No fuss, No muss, no protests and no being TIED to the computer all evening. Thank you God in heaven for helping me get this position !!

My doctor was quite alarmed at the appearance of my foot/toe. It was DOUBLE the size it should be normally when I first woke up today and very edematous (fluid, swelling) and erythematous (red). He ordered a foot xray plus a diflucan (an antiinflammatory) plus a steroid boost that I am to taper over the next few days. He also did more blood work.

He thought it looked like gout but since I do not eat meat it would be difficult for it to be that. Since I do have psoriasis he said it could definitely be psoriatic arthritis.....So I will let you know what the tests show and hopefully I will get better rest tonight with the new antiinflammatory med.

I hear it is supposed to be CHILLY this weekend - HOORAY !!!!!! Sounds like the first fire in the fireplace is on the way !!


I will try to be back later dear Christmas family xoxo

If I am not........Big ((((HUGS)))) to all ESPECIALLY:

Ella, Harlowe, Snowball, Gomez, Ophelia, Sidney, Alex, Merlin, Snickers, Victor, Daisy, Diva, Mickey, Palmer, Mouse, Bo, Chico, Meca, Alvin, Charlie, Gary, Bailey, Jerrold, Irving, Martha, Uncle Julio, Missy, Scooby, Sasha, Jacob, Cracker, Bunny B, Penny, Pocket, LuLu, Bear-Bear, Stripey, Holly, Fate Puppy (London) and all furkids everywhere xoxoo

thanks made, you are always so sweet!




so happy for you that the family had a nice time together. i continue to pray for your mom.




wonderful to hear your baby girl had a good 1st day!!!!


hey y'all!

well i've been to the doc. have a respiratory infection. got my stitches out as well. got a call from the dermatologist office & everything is fine. they did remove it all & i'm good to go. son is gonna pick up my rx's on his way home from class tonight. will miss a few days of work, doc says this is very contagious. my son picked up my cup the other day thinking it was his & drank from it...he feels sinussy now. uhoh.

i go around all the time, when 1 of us is sick, w/ disinfecting wipes & scrub everything down.

i love that it's september. more & more mmcers will be coming back for Christmas shortly.

got the news of 1 of my clients daughter's passing away. boss called & said she came in looking for me. her daughter was just 44 & fell & bumped her head on saturday. sunday the family saw her mouth ( i assume was badly cut or something) & took her to the ER. the mom set her clock for 6a.m. monday morning to check on her & found her dead. this lady has really been through it too. she has bad health herself. her daughter had back issues but was very fit & active. please pray for my Miss Juanita & her family.

then later boss called to tell me of another person who passed. had not seen or heard from him in years but @ 1 time we hung out together. he must have been sick but i didn't even know.

feeling a bit melancholy this evening. ya'll take care & i'll talk atcha later.

Fist of all, sending hugs to you, merry!! xo
Sorry to hear about the respiratory infection. Get lots of rest, my friend.
Happy to hear that you got good news from the dermatologist!!
Hope your son stays healthy. How is your daughter?
Praying for Miss Juanita. Take good care, girlie. xo

Hi everyone! I'm new here and thought I'd jump in here and say hello! I hope no one minds that I didn't read all the pages of comments before posting...lol

Hello crystald!! Nice to have you here =]

Michael's has the cutest fake pumpkins that you can have laser-cut with your name and or have a fall/Halloween pic cut out. I am trying to decide if I really want one or not.

I saw those!! Loved them. I say go for it!! =) umpkin:

Greetings friends! It's been awhile so I wanted to stop by and say hello. So nice to get caught up on all the excitement. I have had an amazingly busy summer. My son was here from Montreal for a few weeks in August. We had such a great visit. It gets harder and harder to seperate at the airport. Have a great rest of the week everyone.

Hey Bullypup! Welcome back!!
Glad you had such a nice visit with you son.

Hey there MerryCarey, I hope you feel better soon.

My wife was just telling me last night at dinner (we were out celebrating our 20 year wedding annivarsary), to be careful, that there is a really wicked/ nasty virus going around and that there is alot of people coming into the ER sick. She was telling me to keep hand sanitizer at my desk and use it....

Happy Anniversary to you & your wife, xmastidings!!

Good afternoon, MMC!!

It has been a busy day!

I have been trying to put together notes & dictation for the work I do. My company doesn't plan to hire someone to replace me right away, and since no one is coming to me for training...I figure I best do something to prepare them! Since no one else really knows what I do, and I'm on a government job..lots of paperwork. I only have 12 days left here, now...bittersweet.

How are you guys? What's new?

I hope to see a lot of your Christmas decorations on the threads this year. I'll have to live vicariously through you all! We won't be able to decorate much, we plan to move right after the holidays. I can't wait to see snow, though!! Harlowe is going to flip! :smile:

Thinking of you, my friends! Have a lovely evening!

That vintage nurse graphic is SO CUTE!!! I think I will have to order at least one pumpkin! Also, I add my Happy Birthday Wishes to Brad's son. You all are right in how the time passes so swiftly. It reminds me of the song "Turn Around":

Where are you going, my little one, little one,
Where are you going, my baby, my own?
Turn around and you're two,
Turn around and you're four,
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door.
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door.
Where are you going, my little one, little one,
Little dirndls and petticoats, where have you gone?2
Turn around and you're tiny,
Turn around and you're grown,
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own.
Turn around, turn around,
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own.[SIZE=-1] [/SIZE]
