Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Bradmac]

I thought the grocery stores died down after the holidays were over, but wow was I wrong. I was turning down the bread aisle and there were a rush of people trying to get through. A woman actually bashed me in the ribs with her shopping cart which didn't feel good at all - especially considering I cracked a rib or two on that side a year ago. Sheesh....you'd think a blizzard was coming with the mad rush in Walmart!

Was she a Wal-martian? :lol:

to tell you all thank you for all the encouragement after what I said about my picture. I was teased a lot in school about my looks so I guess I still have some of that inferiority complex with me. ((((((HUGS)))))) to all of you xo I can't tell you what all your support means to me xo

hi you dont no how many times i have took a photo and when omg and delated it right away. at this minute a friend of mine has a photo of us out one night on facebook. i nearly died and told her to get it off asap.. as to me it was really bad photo.
And did you ever know it is very hard to take a photo of yourself ???

How many whisks does a person need? I think I found at least 30 of them today in my kitchen.

My appointment is Friday. I am not sure how long it will take to get results. I was thinking of you today and SO GLAD you feel so positive right now!!!

Will be thinking about you and praying for you. Please keep us updated!

Have you tried Calibre? I use that when I buy an Amazon book to put on my Nook.

Thanks - I will have to look for this!

Good evening, everyone!! After a hectic day, I finally have some time to relax. I DVRed Last Man Standing (Tim Allen's new show) so I am going to sit and watch that followed by Rachael Ray's top 10 recipes from 2011. I think I am going to get to bed a bit earlier than usual, today has been a long one!

I don't feel so hot, thanks to the heartburn from Bertolli Lasagna that I made myself for dinner. It tasted good at the time, but yikes - the sauce is killer afterwards.

There has been this cat on my porch since yesterday. Today we called the humane society for my county and they told us that they don't cover our area. The humane society is only ten minutes or so from my house, I find it ridiculous. The woman on the phone gave me a number for the police department. I don't think that'll be much help - I don't need animal control coming and killing the poor thing! It is literally freezing out, though, so I set out a box, wrapped a couple of blankets in it and around it, and left the cat some food and water. I don't know what else I can do. Hopefully he/she is at least full, warmer, and not thirsty! I wish I was a cat person but I have asthma so I'm not much help. It's a shame people desert their animals.

Hope you are feeling better today! That is nice what you did for that cat!

My neighbor and I have been caring for quite a few stray cats in our neighborhood. We got them all fixed and their shots through a non profit organization and we keep them fed. They all seem happy just hanging out around our house. I do wish they had permanent homes though. At least where I live it doesn't get too cold too often. We do dip below freezing at times but it's usually mild around here.

Sounds like you're doing a wonderful thing for the kitties, too!

 

[sugar142286]

Well, 5:30 comes quickly, first day back.
So I will bid you all adieu.

Hope you first day back was good!

Made had me do the dishes! It took through the whole 100 Christmas countdown songs to get them done. I was there all day and he didn't even provide Palmolive for me. My hands were destroyed! :wink:

Don't worry CAH - Made and I have a little date of our own, Friday, 12 pm sharp at my house. Wait until he sees what I have in store for him!

.....Do I spy Mistletoe still?!?!.....

Lauriebear wins the door prize!!
Yes, that sentimental camel left a sprig of mistletoe hung over the dining room archway!

(Let us know what the movie DVD was when you get it from Carl, Laurie.)

I just have to tell you about my day post face-lift. I received SO MANY compliments on my looking 20 years younger. Can you imagine the lift to my self esteem??? A much younger teacher kept telling me how beautiful I was and how great my make-up was. I told her I wasn't wearing any!! The look on her face was PRICELESS!!!

Congrats! That is so awesome! cheesy

 

[sugar142286]

Sugar - I tried to read through all the posts but wound up kind of just skimming. Are you feeling sick ?? I thought that was what I read. If you are I hope you feel better soon !!

Yea, I have a crappy cold that I've had for the past couple of days. It's not as bad as it could be, thank goodness. Thanks for thinking of me! Hopefully I will kick it in a couple of days!

 

[sugar142286]

Hey All... I've not been online for a looooooong time, but here I am, back in the countdown thread once again!

YAY! For this site, and this thread for beating the PCB!!

Welcome back, Scoobie! cheesy

Hope your test went well this am!

Brrrrrr....baby, it's cold outside!

We are about to have a big ol' bowl of chili to warm up! Then, I'm going to drink coffee and we are going to watch some TV and I'm going to read some of a book.

Sounds like a heck of a night. I'll be back later to catch up!
