Hey Made.. who taught you how to do that cannonball? You splashed water all over Crown and woke them up....

YABBA!

Sorry Crown!!!!!! My scout leader always told me to land on my back so I would make a bigger splash.

a tad dyslectic are you?

Nope. I blame it on being left-handed and that whole mirror image thing leads to a backward "c". The embarassing thing is that it took three YMCA songs back in the day before I realized I was doing it the wrong way. Geesh!

Brandi just called me at work to tell me that our next door neighbor julie just called her to tell her jack russel terrier was hit by a car(and killed) on the road in front of our house...she has taken the day off of work she is so upset. That is what scares me so bad where we live,the road is so busy and with semi trucks(think pet semetary,the movie) the road is so dangerous.my pets never go out the front door...we just let them out the back because I don't want to risk it. Please everyone remember our neighbor Julie at this time...she just lost her hubby last year and her dogs is what keeps her company.I really look for her to be out of work many days...Brandi told her to come over to our house for the day..so manybe that will help not to be alone

That's gotta be really tough. I lost my dog Hefflelump the same way when I was little, but in Julie's case it's more upsetting since caring for the dog likely helped her feel less alone without her husband. She's in my thoughts.

I answered my own question, VERY COOL! http://www.bronners.com/aboutUs/silentNightChapel.cfm

Couldn't wait for me, eh - that's good, I'd have dug it up myself if I was wondering. My parents went twice, but never with me.

Who knew resting so much would be so tiring? cheesy I have been resting all day off my feet most of all, but I did do some basic cleaning. I watched a DVD I haven't watched in years, "Convoy" with Kris Kristofferson, Ali McGraw, never would be an award winning movie but just mindless fun. I can't believe my parents let me watch a movie like that when I was 7-8 years old. Oh the 80's such a different time, where movies like Ghostbusters, The Goonies, and Gremlins are considered family fare. What fun!

Enjoy the day

One year our high school burned and we had to go to another one clear across town for most of the year while mine was being repaired - major fire damage. The other students went early in the morning and we went for 1 in the afternoon. That was my best academic year because by the time I got home from school and had dinner, I couldn't find any of my friends to hang with so I wound up studying instead. Anyway ... I recall a few times that one of the bus drivers would come over the speaker talking to the other drivers and say, "looks like we got us a CONVOY." It seemed that way with so many buses going in and out at the same time.

Not a good day today at all. I was in the MRI room for about three hours, almost all of it with a narrow vertical bar against my sternum. The biopsy was painful even after the first shot of numbing medicine, so I had to have another shot. My shoulders hurt like the Dickens because you cannot MOVE at all except to breathe. I was crying at the end because of the sternum pressure. I will find out the results on Thursday.

I'm sorry for the pain you went through. I'm a tad restless at times so staying still for three hours would be as painful for me as having that vertical bar pressed against your sternum was for you. That doesn't sound pleasant at all.

Carl always seems to have carl trouble...er...I mean car trouble!

As I recall it was BINGER who hosted Carl once upon a time that taught him how to drive and JayIsh taught him how to play cards and dance while Crown taught him how to walk a dog. O'Malley the cat and Carl got along well when he visited here. This is the place where he discovered he was a poet.

Ode from a Camel (As told to Auntie Mistletoe from Carl the Camel by way of a Camel Whisperer)

The obvious plan
To frolic wherever I can.
To dream and to be
To dance ‘cause I’m free
To travel around
Where caffeine is found
To socialize with friends
Where the fun never ends
That is the obvious plan.

They let Bekki out of the hospital yesterday afternoon, she swung by work for hugs on her way home to spend the night with her pets and she's supposed to head out of town tomorrow. Thanks for your positive energy.

I noticed the small overnight bag she had draped over her shoulder and dipping into my humour bag, I said, "I was wondering why you were carrying a Pittsburg Penguins bag, I guess it has something to do with the tumor?" Her husband laughed more than she did. He said, "I told her it was an accident waiting to happen." One good thing came of it already. One of her sisters and her mom had a falling out with her last summer and they haven't been in touch much so the scare has them communicating again.



Now where did I put that piece of music, we can't listen to heavy metal all night drinking that new coffee blend can we?

 

[xmas365]

had a day like this lady?

Hope you feel refreshed after your nap!
Coming to the pines when you get up?

That looks like the daycare when I go pick up the boys

Kmart had nothing left for Christmas clearance today, I was hoping for something. :sad:

This is another song I made up that I'm not all that fond of, but as a migraine sufferer, I felt that it offered the best reason why Santa had a problem with Rudolph's glowing red nose.

In case you need the tune

The Shiny Nose Reindeer (An explanation of why Santa teased Rudolph) Based on the lyrics to “The Most Beautiful Girl” By: Charlie Rich (Norris Wilson, Billy Sherrill & Rory Rourke)

Hey, did you happen to see the most shiny nose in the world?
And if you did was it Rudolph - Rudolph?
Hey, if you happen to see the most shiny nose, that will guide my sleigh
Tell him I love him, tell him the children love him
Oh, won’t you tell him, we all care.

I woke up this morning, and realized I’d laughed at him
I wasn’t alone, others were teasing him too
I knew he’d leave, I knew he’d not want to stay
Now comes the heartache that a winter blizzard brings
I know I was wrong, I couldn’t see from the shining
I let my migraine pain chase him away.

Hey, did you happen to see the most shiny nose in the world?
And if you did was it Rudolph - Rudolph?
Hey, if you happen to see the most shiny nose, that will guide my sleigh
Tell him I love him, tell him the children love him
Oh, won’t you tell him, we all care.

Hurry home Rudolph if you dare
I need you in a hurry, we’re all so worried
There you are, we see you comin’
Thanks, Rudolph you’re shiny nose is charming
Welcome back just in time to guide my sleigh
Hey, you’re a unique reindeer and we’ll never tease you again.

Here's one of my favourites - it gets stuck in my head more than the original version does. HaHaHoHo!

Christmas! Christmas! By: Auntie Mistletoe
Sung to the tune and based on the lyrics of Iko Iko performed by: The Dixie Cups (By: James Crawford Jr. / Rosa Lee Hawkins / Barbara Anne Hawkins / Joan Marie Johnson)

Mama Elf and Papa Elf
Were sittin’ by the fire
Chatting ‘bout Christmas wishes
What’s your child’s desire

Talking ‘bout Christmas! - Christmas!
Ho-Ho Ha Hee-Hee
Sippin’ hot cocoa with Santa & Mrs. C
All the elves’ children and me

Christmas smells and Christmas bells
All share a common glee
Sharing the joys of Christmas
All ‘round the Christmas Tree

Talking ‘bout Christmas! - Christmas!
Ho-Ho Ha Hee-Hee
Sippin’ hot cocoa with Santa & Mrs. C
All the elves’ children and me

See the snowman in the yard
He’s painted green and gold
There’s a special celebration on the way
It’s Christmas I am told.

Talking ‘bout Christmas! - Christmas!
Ho-Ho Ha Hee-Hee
Sippin’ hot cocoa with Santa & Mrs. C
All the elves’ children and me

See Santa all dressed in red
Climbing into his sleigh
Gonna start his deliveries
As long as the wee ones are in bed

Talking ‘bout Christmas! - Christmas!
Ho-Ho Ha Hee-Hee
Sippin’ hot cocoa with Santa & Mrs. C
All the elves’ children and me

Ho-Ho Ha Hee-Hee
All the elves’ children and me

Kmart had nothing left for Christmas clearance today, I was hoping for something. :sad:

I've been meaning to make the rounds to a few spots that may still have sale items. Our local Walmart had most of their stuff gone earlier than last year. Except for cards, chocolates, etc. there wasn't much left.

 

[Seawaters]
