Christmas Countdown - 2012

[xmas365]

Good morning, MMC! How are is everyone today? I am well. Not much going on around here today. I just have a few things to clean up from the party yesterday and I have to put all of DS's new toys away and do some wash.

He had a blast yesterday. You should have seen him dig into his smash cake. It was hilarious. He was a typical boy. He had it EVERYWHERE.

Anyone have anything special planned today?

Well, I am going to read some of the Countdown, eat lunch, then off to do my duties around the house.

Talk to you guys later on. Hope you all are enjoying you're day! Keep smiling!

He's doing it right, I can't enjoy cake without getting everywhere! My wife is glad I do my own laundry. cheesy

This is what I am listening to right now!
Christmas Day with Colonel Sanders

Has anyone seen this thread yet that is posted on MMC? I saw that Colonel Sanders of KFC had put out a Christmas album and posted about it. Thanks to Xmas365 he posted 2 links on the thread of 2 different albums! It's the old fashion Christmas music I enjoy! There is a 3rd album too but haven't found a link to it yet.

You can go on there and enjoy listening to them too!

It's a finger lickin' toe tappin' ear pleasin' good time! I love the music on those albums.

I use to drink 5 hour energy all the time. It's defintely not as bad as red bull. Of course my opinion may be skewed since they were one of the companies I was a sales rep for and I use to get cases of it sent to me to sample and hand out.

I have tried them both, and I really dislike the flavor of them. I did drink 5 Hour Energy before working on Black Friday a couple of years ago, it only gave me a boost for about 2 hours though.

The Holiday.. ♥

Love, love, love that movie!! Kate Winslet is amazing! Jude Law is so charming! And Jack Black & Eli Wallach are so endearing =)

I listen to that score all the time, especially when I'm stressed, really relaxes me. So beautiful!

I hate the berry flavor but I could stand the orange and lemon lime 5 hour. If you don't like diet soda's you won't like 5 hour. Since it's sugar free and uses the same artificial sweetener's.

I've noticed that they have made the bottles bigger so you might not be the only one with that complaint.

Good evening, MMC!

I have to put in a few hours on paperwork and then I am going to call it a night.
I never did listen to the Christmas CDs the other day, so I am going to put one in for background music.

Have a good night and pleasant dreams!

:merry:

Came home from chemo, took a short nap, finished a book, and now getting ready for dinner. Since my hands developed neuropathy, Hubby has been doing all the cooking. Tonight it will be corn on the cob, cole slaw, and sloppy Joes made with the Bold Manwich sauce.

Tomorrow I return to the oncologist for the Neulasta shot which has NASTY results. Thanks for all your hugs and good wishes.

Thanks to Solice, Irish Snow, and CAH for the Christmas movies/music suggestions. I bought the breast cancer ear buds from Avon, so maybe I will watch a Netflix movie on my Nook tablet tonight! Obviously, the ear buds are pink with some "diamond" bling!

hey y'all!:nice:

i've had a pretty nice day here @ the house. nothing going on just quiet & relaxed. we had a great supper too. i had some chicken strips & i coated them in oil then chopped up the fried onions in a can & coated them & baked them. yum, very juicy. i do that often but it's usually chicken breasts not strips. had field peas & snaps, rice & gravy, & mama's homemade biscuits. oh yeah, i made a peach cobbler too. not sure what got into me, i don't like cooking-just eating. lol

I noticed that you told us this AFTER you ate. Where was our invitation? You know we have the jet!!!

Good evening,


Day off tomorrow, my wife is going to see Magic Mike, kids are going to VBS, I get me time! I have to mow the lawn, so me time won't be too fun. I did a ton of work at work today, I feel very tired. I finished reading my book "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" it was a very good book mixing fiction & history seamlessly, it definitely piqued my interest in Abe, I may have to read more about him.
Have a good night!

just finished a fresh batch of granola..love the homemade stuff so much better than store bought. This way I know what is in it.

about 1/2 cup of each...
sunflower and pumpkin seeds
cashews
pecans
almonds
soybeans
pistachios
2 cups of oatmeal (the large flake kind)
maple syrup (everything has to be wet with syrup, then you know you used enough)
mix together and toast in oven at 350' for 5 min at a time, take out of oven every 5 min and mix from all around the edge to the center, spread out in pan again and toast again for 5 min, repeat for a total of 15 to 20 min. Watch very closely, as soon as it is a nice toasty looking light brown stop. It will burn quickly so do not leave it alone

Let it cool completely on the tray (very important to retain that nice crunch)
its done!
you can also add dry items like raisins, dried blueberries etc if you want.

If you want to make this be creative and use the ingrediants you like, but make sure it all has no added salt.

forgot to say this tastes great with some yogurt!
