Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Holiday]

Good morning from northern California. I am still having trouble with the jumping bean pages too! I gotta get on the road for work. I have an SST (Student Study Team) meeting after school today. The mom thinks her son misbehaves because he is so smart and bored. Well, I hate to burst her bubble, but I really have to. TTYL

Goodluck!!! :rudolph:

Here I am at work, nothing to so far which is why I am talking to you all! Lunch rush should start soon.

You are always doing something wonderful for animals. Were you afraid s/he would bite? What was wrong with him/her?

That is a problem I have, I don't seem to fear any animals and think I can just reach out and pick them up. I am not even scared of wild mice or rats, I actually find them interesting but I also know they are destructive if they live in your house!!! I see big stray dogs wandering around and while others are trying to shoo them away, I call them to me. I hope I don't call the wrong one to me sometime and it attacks!

I almost did pick up the squirrel without thinking then decided I better wear gloves and still be careful that he didn't try to bite through them. He never tried but let out a cry when I gently picked him up so he must be injured but I am not 100% sure if he was scared or hurt. I bought some puppy milk and he guzzled it down so that is a good sign and he seems comfortable now. Got to get busy and find somewhere to take him.

I am a cup&mugaholic! :lol: I love coffee mugs & fun cups/glasses! But I don't have too many, I just need more cupboard space!

I am a mugaholic too, only for the Christmas ones! I had to put a stop to buying anymore Christmas mugs!!! I don't have room to bring them all out anymore. =)

Good Evening!
It's FRIDAY! Yay! .....
So, what happends here?

Any fun planned this weekend?

We are off to a 40th' Birthday Party tomorrow night.
And spending the night at a new hotell in the City, just the two of us...
That would be fun - I hope..
If I don't keep all the hotel guest up all night with my coughing..:-?

Im making my favorite dinner tonight. .. = Tapas
(Shrimp with Garlic and Chili, tapas-potatoes, new baked bread and aioli)
It will be late, because Thomas is visiting his father.
My FIL is very very sick after all this chemo.
He is just laying in bed... can't do nothing..

Well, I have to try and cath up here!

Love love love you! ♥

Good morning everyone.

I glad to see summer end. Soon no more snakes, bugs, or weed-eating. We're starting to see bears again as they try to fatten up for winter. We are looking at highs in mid 70s & lows in lower 50s/upper 40s today and Saturday. But another cold front is due Sunday and we are forecast to have highs in mid 60's and lows in upper 30's for a few days. We may have to close our bedroom window. Now that is great early fall weather!

We continue to pray for all those experiencing health issues. My mom's pain level is gradually increasing. She now needs a cane to help walk. But she keeps going. She picked muskie dimes for over an hour yesterday.

Have a blessed day and weekend everyone.

She sounds like a strong lady. We're continuing prayers for her.

Good luck Jacob. It is good that he gets to learn in a small town. Driving is always dangerous but it is certainly easier in a rural area. Our son has had his license for nearly a year now. He still hasn't really driven in a city.

I remember a local highway patrol officer told us that except for sending your child off to war, having them drive off in car was the most dangerous thing they would do.

Bellville is about as rural a town as you can get! cheesy

I just remembered to check my mail and found my taste of home thanksgiving magazine!!

Can I find that online? Well, I just have to google it....
Tamtaratam... Yes, I did find the site!

And I just liked it on FB, so that would keep me updated!
Thanks for the tip!!! =]

Be careful with those squirrels, my mother-in-law was feeding one of them peanuts from her back porch, and was doing this for months, then one day the squirrel mistook her finger for a peanut and bit her. She went to the doctors and they gave her a tetnus shot and cleaned the wound. They were ponder for awhile about giving her rabies shots as well...

Good Morning!

I have been nursing an injured baby squirrel all night. I am currently trying to locate a rehabilitation center to take him in. Poor little baby!


Caninemom, scanning through the post I see you are still in pain. I am so sorry and pray you get some relief!

God bless you, CAH!! What a kind thing to do. Hope he'll be alright. Good luck w/ finding a rehabilitation center for the little sweetheart. xo

Good morning everyone!

I'm posting a little early. Happy final day of Summer! While some people will long for the warm summer days that have past, we all look forward to the true milestone of the year, Christmas! Hooray!

The weather forecast seems to have "fall" written all over it for the next few days. Temperatures are supposed to only hover in the the lower-to-mid teens (50s) and reach the lower 20s (60s) only once. No complaints here!

I have some decent news in regards to my knee. I had my final physio appointment yesterday evening. My physiotherapist was real impressed with my progress over the past couple weeks. I could complete all the exercises without any pain. Well, lunges gave me a little bit of pain, but that will subside soon. I have the green light to participate in warmups on Sunday and then warmups and a little bit of practice on Tuesday, followed by a full practice next Sunday. It's been a long journey. Now, I just have to hope for no setbacks. When it's all said and done, it will be over two months since I last practiced and just under two months since I lasted scrimmaged/played in a game. That's a long time for me!

No real plans for the weekend yet. Kim and I have some ideas, but we'll have to see if our friends are up for it. We haven't had a hangout weekend in quite some time, so I'm hoping the fun can return!

Have a great Friday, everyone! Enjoy your final day of Summer. Signs of Christmas should begin to popup soon!

I'm so happy for you that your knee is healing well! Great work. Take good care of yourself! Hope you & Kim have a great weekend =]

Holiday, I will continue to pray for Jackie and for your entire family. I hope that your sister and Jackie were both able to get a good night's sleep last night. Please keep us updated!

How is everyone on this lovely Friday morning? Feeling well? How are your families? Plans for the weekend? I love to hear it :]

Thank goodness it is Friday, it has been a long week! I ran a few errands this week, and I am so excited that I found some Christmas decorations out to buy. However, I am a little disappointed that Walmart's decorations are stored up so high - put them down! My Walmart has been slacking. There were no Halloween things out except for candy and a couple of blow up yard decorations until only this week. When I shopped yesterday, the employees were rushing around and putting out costumes and decorations.

I have a couple of classes this morning, so sadly I have to already go and get ready for my day. I barely have time to catch up on posts anymore! I will do so as soon as I get home. I finished all of my assignments and studying early on in the week so I would be able to relax and enjoy my weekend.

Have a great day, everyone - talk to you all soon!

Hey Jennifer, how are you? How's your Uncle's dog doing? I've been keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers.

Hope you start seeing more Halloween & Christmas decorations out!

We are relaxing this weekend! Grilling, watching movies, and hanging out on the patio. What are your plans?

Have a fun weekend!! xx

Good Morning, mgramsey! Enjoy your beautiful Fall weather this weekend!!

Sorry to hear about your Mom's pain level. God bless her. She remains in my thoughts & prayers.

Good morning MMC! "Happy" last day of summer!!! I am sad to see summer go, but I do love fall & all the holidays! So ready or not...

I haven't heard any updates on Jackie this morning so hopefully no news = good news!
Oh...incoming text - Sis is at hospital with Jackie. "She will stay 1 more day for pain control. She will definately need home health care for wound vac. She is doing good overall & still has good attitude! No one brought her any food yet. That kind of stuff makes me crazy!"

So generally all sounds good! Hopefully she can keep that good attitude!!! Poor girl must be hungry!!!

Bosses are both gone today, so this has been a GOOD morning at work!

Make it a great day!

Hey Holiday! So happy to hear that Jackie is doing well!!
Hope they brought her some food by now...

I wish I could've joined you last night for the movie. It's so good!! I always cry & laugh towards the end, I'm a complete sap. Let me know what you think after you finish it!

Glad you're having a GOOD morning!

Have fun w/ your family & friends this weekend!! xx

I am so happy that Fall officially starts tomorrow! I just got back from the Dollar General store and they had all kinds of cool Fall harvest decorations. I could spend all kinds of money in there very easily! Happy Fall Y'all!

Happy Fall to you as well, frostyman!! umpkin:

I found something you can all afford to get your kids for Christmas this year...

you can even get them the new 5 pack!

LOL! That's awesome, CS!!

Someone (sorry I can't remember who) asked for a picture of my (spoiled) Buster:

That was me =) Thank you! What a cutie!!! xx

I am a cup&mugaholic! I love coffee mugs & fun cups/glasses! But I don't have too many, I just need more cupboard space!

Once again, I like the way you think, Holiday!!! =]
I feel the same way, I have many different dinnerware sets, and it drives Adrian bonkers. lol, oops!

Good morning from northern California. I am still having trouble with the jumping bean pages too! I gotta get on the road for work. I have an SST (Student Study Team) meeting after school today. The mom thinks her son misbehaves because he is so smart and bored. Well, I hate to burst her bubble, but I really have to. TTYL

Good luck w/ the meeting. Poor Mom just doesn't get it, let me know her expression when you burst that bubble!

Yes, we need someone to let CA & NV know that Fall is here tomorrow!
It's going to be 100 degrees again here today =( Same for you?

Good Evening!
It's FRIDAY! Yay! .....

Still praying for your F-I-L. xx

Sending love to you, girl!! xo

Made,
I spoke too soon about the cross-scripting. The pop-up is back!

Had you closed your browser and restarted it? The change won't take affect until you exit internet explorer and reopen it.

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Christmasstar, that Eye Pad made me laugh. This morning, going to Petco to pick up puppy milk, there is an AT&T store that people were standing in line for the new Ipad. Dollar Tree is on the other side of that store and I told Wayne we should start a line at that door and wait for it to open. Got to get in there for those dollar deals!!! Yay! :

 

[made582]

How fun that your nieces want to stay with you! How old are they? ENJOY!!!

7 and 4

I'm tired just thinking about it.

 

[made582]

Christmas-A-Holic- Do you want to come run the sweeper for me? I've got the dishes done and the bathroom scrubbed but I'm wore out now.

 

[Solice]

I picked up a new purse at thrift store for $3.50, loved that it was new (or close to it!) and love the style of it.
Anyway, when I got home I noticed it had a logo on it so looked it up on line. Turns out it worth $119!!

Oh, what a great find! Congrats! =]

 

[made582]

Bradmac- Good luck to Jacob and I'll pray for the rest of the town!!!

I wish fall was written on our weather here in northern California. It was hot again yesterday, mais c'est la vie! I am glad that you are making such great progress on your PT. This thing is, you are so dedicated in making it happen. I tend to be lazy in that regard! have a great weekend!

You'll get Fall soon enough! A couple weeks, maybe?! I'm really dedicated to making it happen, but I am even more so itching to get back on it. It's tough to let heal, but I'm doing my best to avoid the itch.
