Happy New Year! I had this crazy idea I'd catch up in the beginning to the posts--yeah, probably not going to happen. Oh well. Time to start this shiny new year--by finding the Tournament of Roses parade, right after I exercise. We actually made it to midnight last night, but it was difficult--I think we should have gone out after all. But we did have a nice glass of bubbly and tooted our noisemakers. I'll make hoppin' john, pork tenderloin and greens later on today. Then back to normal tomorrow. Blecch.

Nothing much going on today (but that's a good thing). The Ninety Nine (local restaurant chain) is having a New Year's special, and we got a gift card for Christmas, so we may drive over and get a (nearly) free lunch later. Then ... probably more movies! In the meantime, I should fill in birthdays and appointments in my 2012 calendar book.
Isn't it odd to look at the number of pages in the Countdown and find them in the single digits again? That won't last long!
Me too. So happy tomorrow's a holiday!

I am off to the store to pick up some ingredients for the ham sauce. The recipe is REALLY old that I got from an older (in her 90s) lady at church. She gave me two recipes, one of them from her grandma!!! It is Hubby's favorite; he even puts it on his mashed potatoes!
One of my resolutions is to make individual posts to the countdown so the posts can add up instead of doing multi-quotes. The other resolution/goal is to listen to my body and the doctor and try to stay as healthy as possible. Ya never know when you may need lots of strength.
I almost forgot: I also have a goal of being more organized so that if anything does happen, my family will know where to find important papers and information. (I am sorry if that is so negative, but I feel like I need to be realistic.)
Perfect!!! I am hoping for a win so badly today!
The pork and sauerkraut smells SO good over here. I'm practically drooling because I am so hungry! Time to go make myself a salad to hold me over until dinner time.
My dad is being a total Scrooge this morning
I just looked outside and he is ripping the Christmas lights down and the wreaths. My mom and I are so annoyed! We usually light the house up New Years night, so I don't know what got into him. I usually spend all day enjoying the decorations and such, but that's not going to happen now.
here s to a new year-with my fave online homies....only 358 days to go
spoke to soon, we are now under a winter storm watch.

Snow squall watch for
Stratford - Mitchell - Southern Perth County continued
Snow squalls overnight and Monday.
Snow squalls are expected to develop quickly overnight in the Grey - Bruce and Parry Sound - Muskoka regions as much colder air blasts into the regions in the wake of a sharp Arctic cold front.
Local snowfall amounts of near 15 cm are quite possible in these snow squalls by Monday morning. In addition strong and gusty westerly winds will cause near zero visibility in blowing snow overnight.
oh well, I knew it was not going to last!
:dance:
I have watched Walking Dead a few times.....Zombies really scare the bejeebers out of me !! So I don't watch very often....It is a good show though
Happy New Year Binger !!....Looking forward to Darlene Love in 2012 ! xo
Oh Seawaters..........Keeping you in my prayers xo
Good afternoon Christmas Family and Happy 2012 !
Not doing much today. I am usually working at this time but today since I was not required to I decided to take the day off even though I don't get paid for it. I don't have anything planned for today at all......I am going to watch some of the final Christmas movies on Hallmark channel and try and be ready for work tomorrow. I have a doctor appointment on Friday for a problem I have been having and thinking I may need to move it up a little........xo
I will try to stop back later, Christmas family. I hope everyone has a fantastic first day of the new year xoxo
PS: Wish is STILL doing well. He says hello to all his adopted aunts and uncles on the countdown and sends his best to his cousins, Ella, Snickers, Harlowe, Snowball, Scooby, Sasha, Gomez, and all the furkids here on MMC xo

Thank you, we are having a quiet day here too.
Playing some games, eating leftovers and just relaxing.
Back to the games now that lunch is done!
maybe I can actually win today!!!
On the Eighth Day of Christmas...
Good afternoon and Happy New Year!
Just sitting here watching A Christmas Story, I have not seen it through the end yet this season. I am starting to get that impending feel of the PCB's, I am trying my best to avoid them, but they always catch me at some point. As I said before my trees and lights are up and on through Jan. 8 inside and out. Christmas music is still the music du jour for the foreseeable future, I think last year I listened to it non-stop into February. I will have trouble getting past the season now. Love the new Countdown thread, and glad to see everyone making an appearance. I will be on throughout the day.
Enjoy the day!
