Christmas Countdown - 2012

[mgramsey]

We spent all day Saturday at a local lake and most of yesterday at Church. Our high temps should stay in the 80's this week and very muggy. I can't wait until fall.

Good morning and Happy Monday Christmas family

Just reading the posts and preparing for another week. At least I am off Wednesday. I could work if I wanted but I am sure all the dictations would be horrible dictators so I am opting to take the day off. Wish is still doing well. Each night I prepare his next day's medicine by cutting his pills in half so I have the proper dosages ready. I don't mind at all.....In fact I am glad to do it....So glad my baby is still here.

It has been very hot here also. I am PRAYING our air conditioning keeps working. It is nearly 20 years old so I don't know. Whenever I get a chance I let it rest a bit then turn it back on. Gives me a break from owing Ohio Edision my soul each month too !!

I hope everyone stays nice and hydrated and well. Christmas in July soon !!!!! Can't wait to join Made and Binger and everyone !!! I hope they have those trees they had last year but Bethlehem Lights seems like they are pretty limited in their time on QVC this year so I don't know....

Take care, everyone xo

Snow In Texas - That is WONDERFUL news that you are doing very well. I was so worried about you xo

Made - Glad the medicine has started to help your little niece. I still feel so for her at such a young age having had to face so much xo

(((HUGS)))) everyone ESPECIALLY Ella, Harlowe, Snickers, Chico and siblinges, Gomez and siblings, Snowball, Victor, Penny, Pocket, Palmer, Mouse, Bo, Scooby, Sasha, Jacob, Cracker, and all furkids everywhere xo

Good morning everyone! Hope you are all having a decent Monday.

Well the family and I had a great time on the beach yesterday. A sea breeze kept it from being a scorcher and the ocean water helped too. My three year old is really starting to get brave enough to get into the waves about chest high. That is until one knocks her down and then she screams like there is no tomorrow. After 5 minutes, she is back doing it again. Hope everyone has a great holiday week!

I shouldn't laugh, but I'm amused at their "hot/sun/dry/muggy"---coming up with four different terms to try to throw some variety into their painful forecast. Doesn't work, guys, it's all nasty!

I admit, I laughed at that, too! :lol:

 

[trackrebel]

watching the Waltons....first episode of Season 3 that we just gotten from Amazon.......along with some chicken wings and some fries...goin to be a nice evening.

tomorrow Kandice will to visit with her uncle and aunty and my pops for 4 days.......when she was 8 weeks old....we were separated the last time....for four weeks. cos I had to go to a clinic....so this is kinda weird for me to do so...but i know it is important for both of us...

WELL I HAVE MORE OF THE SAME PLANNED FOR TODAY. CLEANING OUT CLOSETS, DRAWERS, & CABINETS. W/ THIS WEATHER I CAN'T DO ANYTHING OUTSIDE SO MIGHT AS WELL MAKE THE MOST OF STAYING INSIDE.

MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM IS LIME GREEN & BEEN THAT COLOR FOR A WHILE NOW. MY B-I-L GAVE US SOME PAINT HE HAD LEFT FROM SOME JOB HE FINISHED (2 GALLONS) & I THINK I'M GONNA PAINT. THE PAINT IS VERY LIGHT BUT A SHADE OF BLUISH GREEN. GONNA TAKE IT TO GET IT TINTED A BIT DARKER BLUE, TRY ANYWAY. NOT SURE IF I'LL GET TO IT THIS WEEK BUT MAYBE BY THE WEEKEND.

MY BOYS MANAGED TO CLEAN OUT THEIR CLOSET, DRAWERS, & ROOM YESTERDAY. A FRIEND GAVE ME ANOTHER CHEST OF DRAWERS FOR THE ROOM SINCE 1 OF THEIRS WAS BROKEN. NOW, & SURELY JUST FOR RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING IS WHERE IT'S SUPPOSE TO BE IN THEIR ROOM. LOL

HOPE Y'ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY TODAY & STAY COOL!:hi:

I hope you turn on some Christmas tunes to make all of your hard work enjoyable!! It always feels like such an accomplishment to get some major cleaning & home improvement done! Keep cool, girl! xo

Good Morning, MMC!!

Not much going on here, just happy to be at work & not jury duty again.
I don't mind jury duty itself, I actually find it very interesting. But I hate being downtown alone, especially outside of the Fremont St. Experience- not a safe place.

What are your plans for the 4th?

We are going to grill some cheeseburgers & hot dogs, play some PS3 Move, and hang out inside where it's nice & cool.

I ordered some Christmas pop-up books last week. (At some point, not really sure when, I started collecting Christmas pop-ups! :smile
I can't wait to receive them. I ordered A Charlie Brown Christmas, Christmas In New York, and A Christmas Carol. The art in them looks so beautiful & detailed. And I'm not sure when I'll actually experience a Christmas in New York, so this is the next best thing. I also bought a dvd awhile back that's about Christmas in NY- awesome!



Better get back to work..

Hope you all are having a wonderful day so far!!

 

[Meceka]

Good Morning, Meceka!!
Hope you have a fabulous day! Stay cool, friend! xo

The Santa Clause 2 is on Encore East right now!!
Just starting!

Hi, snowflake! It's good that you didn't have to go to jury duty - I'm sure your day will be so much better now! I'm working today and trying to stay cool and hydrated. I'm at home, though, so that is nice. For some reason we have free Encore this month and I had the Santa Claus 2 on for background noise :grin:

Just shoot me now.

It is going to be miserable here, too! Stay cool!!

Hello everyone, I haven't been in here in a while, I kinda go through these times where I am in here less frequently. No particular reason, just doing other things. I hope everyone is well.

Caninemom, CAH said you mentioned me in a post asking how I am doing, everything is fine, I saw the doctor on a follow up visit last Monday and everything checked out fine. I do have to stay on the medication for at least another 6 months, and I go see the doctor again, and he will decide if I can come off the meds at that time. Thanks for asking!

I have been dreading this week, so many people are off on vacation this week. I get Wednesday off and that's it, I have to work the rest of the week, I just hope we aren't too busy.

I hope everyone has a great day and week, and have a great 4th of July all who live in the USA!

Hi, SIT! I'm so glad you are doing better!! I hope work isn't too busy for you and that you are able to stay cool!

You too!!!!!!!!

I am doing my best to stay cool - it actually isn't too bad right now, but I think that is because I am becoming a bit acclimatized to the heat and humidity. Take care in the heat!!

Afternoon all

Good afternoon, irishsnow - I hope you are having a good day!

good morning meceka. Hope you have a good monday friend!

Thank you, merry! I hope you have a good Monday, too!

It sounds like you had a very nice weekend! I hope the humidity isn't too bad for you - take care in the heat! I agree, I can't wait for fall either, mgramsey!

Good morning everyone! Hope you are all having a decent Monday.

Good afternoon, MerryBells! I hope you are having a decent Monday, too!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

My vacation starts Wednesday! I can't wait to get into those higher elevations and escape some of this heat and humidity...ahh, I'm cooler just thinking about it.
I jumped in the pool for a couple hours with the kids Saturday, and Nancy and Lulu (our cockapoo) sat on the deck in the shade. It was still too hot for Lulu, so we got my new Father's Day present out for her. It's a fan that has water misters on it. She loved it!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Never knew you had a cockapoo have you the white one or the pink and grey ? they love the water . we dont need any kind of spray over here. its rains plenty but out outside birds all love it. so nice to see them hang upside down on the wire and opening there wings to let the water get at them.. is lulu in a cage or have you the wings cliped so she cant fly ?

So glad to hear all is going good for you and your health is good now ..

Good afternoon, MMC!

It is hot here, but not too bad as of yet. I seem to be able to last a bit longer every afternoon before the heat starts to get to me - yay! I am working on last minute stock I want to put in the store - lots of research to do, but what really takes the time is bagging each item. I put a piece of colored paper behind certain items so they will stand out more and it takes me a bit to get those inserts into the bags. 4 hours have gone by with not much to show and other than taking a break to check in here, I have been working steadily. Good hot weather work when there is no air conditioner or fans on :grin:

Have a MERRY day and stay cool!!!

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. Lulu is a half cockerspaniel / half poodle - a cockapoo! Here she is when she was a puppy:

I just fell in love with babyLulu.....so cute!!!!

Hi everyone. I figured I should leave a quick message today. It has been a wonderful and long Canada Day weekend here in Ottawa. Good times.

Update: I've spent the better part of the last few months volunteering and searching for a job. I have had a job the past few weeks but I am only making minimum wage. Considering I spent the past eight years in post-secondary education and cannot find any permanent full time positions, it is a little frustrating. Anyway, searching for a real job and playing/practicing the at least three days per week and traveling to tournaments on weekends gives me very little time for anything. I'm hoping it will all change very soon.

If you see me disappear again for more than week, send me a message and make sure I visit. I'm trying to make time and I'm sure your support will help me do so!

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. I will return again shortly! I need to make this a routine again. I miss everyone here!

Hi, Brent - great to see you posting on here again! I know how frustrating it can be when you have the qualifications but cannot find full time work - keep the faith, though, something is bound to turn up!
