Christmas Countdown - 2012

[caninemom3]

I must admit.. I had to google it... cheesy LOL

I didn't know what it is either Solice !! xo

 

[caninemom3]

Off for a blood test soon. It is great to see Dawg back, just in time for an OPERA!!! Opera is my favorite. TTYL

Take care Sewaters !! xoxo There is nothing like a Binger opera !! xo

 

[ballcoach]

OMG (yeah, I said it)! What's the chances? I get up, pour coffee, and sit down to begin enjoying my Christmas in July weekend and when I turn on the tv, what do I see?

Disney's A Christmas Carol....

Not my favorite, but it's in the direction I'm headed, for sure!

 

[gabulldawg]

I have made it to lunch!!! I am eating turkey sub from firehouse subs here on base,just looked online to see the awful news in Colorado...makes me sick to read actually,but I think they all need our prayers out there today! I hope everyone here is having a great friday....it's hard to believe we are almost in August! Down here we call this part of the summer the 'dog days' I guess because of the sultry heat and humidity! And the countdown until fall and holiday season 2012 is really moving along,It makes me feel so good to see us just above 150 days now!! I better get back to eating,have a great rest of the work day everyone!

If I ever mention taking my niece's to hobby lobby again, somebody stop me.

Coming to you live from my kitchen... preparing a big feast for tomorrow! I am making mac and cheese at the moment and next on the list are some spiced sugar cookies for the boys to decorate later. Gotta make some homemade rolls today, too! Yippie!!

I'm going to make my pumpkin pie after lunch and then I'll go ahead and make my baked corn while it's baking. I was going to make homemade sugar cookies but now that I have to babysit I'm making slice and bake.

OPERA ...

Off for the p.m. activities. Had no cold water for a while this morning --- a real Laurel & Hardy situation. Even the toilet was flushing hot water! It's fixed now. TTYL

Made, I, too, am praying for the people in Aurora. It is so heartbreaking!

Solice, I had to look up Red-eye gravy, too. I hope you are having a good day! How did your movie excursion with your little one go?

CAH, I hope you are better soon!

CM3, I also didn't sleep well. Palmer made a lot of ruckus last night/early this morning and Bo did, too. He was put out and peace and quiet returned for about an hour when I heard it start to rain dance and he had to be brought back in. It has been a long week! I hope you get some rest and feel better for the coming weekend! Have a good day and {{{HUGS}}} for you and your fur kids!

Seawaters, good luck with your blood test! {{{HUGS}}}

judesmama, that food sounds so good!

Snowytree, welcome back to the countdown!

Pumpkin pie sounds good!

 

[gabulldawg]

I just finished lunch not too long ago and after reading here I am wanting some pumpkin pie myself!!! with some whipped cream on top!hmmm

 

[whitney37354]

That's it! Red eye gravy is good on grits & rice, or sopped up with a biscuit or just some light bread.

It'll fix what ails ya!

Brad, now they'll want to know what light bread is! I've only heard my own family call it light bread. I figured it was a Southern thing.

FYI: Light bread, to me, is sandwich bread. I suppose it's called that because it's not "heavy" bread like sourdough.

Tonight is the last night of swim lessons. I'm hoping it doesn't storm this afternoon so they can do their testing. Busy weekend ahead: Saturday I'm scrapbooking, the DH says we're going to the movies (Batman for him, Ice Age for me & DD). I'd rather stay at home with DD & let him go on, but I guess I'll have to take one for the team. Sunday is church.

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[shellie12]

I am not feeling 100% today. I better not be coming down with something! I feel sooo tired so I am going to get some rest. I will need it for QVC this weekend!!!

This will be me after I get rested up! :dance:

Hope you feel better by now

Off for a blood test soon. It is great to see Dawg back, just in time for an OPERA!!! Opera is my favorite. TTYL

Hope all goes good for you

If I ever mention taking my niece's to hobby lobby again, somebody stop me.

What did they do lol or how much had you to spend

 

[shellie12]

So sorry to hear this.. never will i understand what makes someone do this . but guess only the man above knows why

Good afternoon, MMC!

It has been raining off and on all day. Dark and dreary out for the most part. I love it!!!!

Sounds like it was fabulous, Meceka!!

Before I forget again, I am going to go nominate someone for MOM.

I just did, too! =)

Have a MERRY evening!!!

Good evening, Christmas family

Today was a GOOD day !!!

I got my computer back !!!!

There was radiology all night until the last hour and that was radiology related ! What a week though. I am all in. I may have to break out the app on my iPod called Zen of Snow. It is a really beutiful app - A snow covered cabin with snow swirling and Christmas trees decorated out front. You control the snow, and everything. In the background there is Christmas music playing. There is even a pretty little bunny if you want to feed him/her !!! It is one of my favorite apps and I always look at it and listen to it when I have been stressed.

Monday I am supposed to call the other company to "move things forward". I am cautiously hopeful. In my business there are lots of promises and not a lot of truthfulness on the part of employers....Everybody cross everything again okay ?? It worked for Wish who is still doing fine by the way, maybe it will work for this..

I hope everyone has a wonderful, Christmassy evening and of course, espcially big (((HUGS))) to:

Ella, Harlowe, Snowball, Gomez, Ophelia, Sidney, Alex, Merlin, Snickers, Victor, Daisy, Diva, Palmer, Mouse, Bo, Chico, Meca, Alvin, Missy, Scooby, Sasha, Jacob, Cracker, Bunny B, Penny, Pocket, LuLu, Bear-Bear, Stripey and all furkids everywhere xoxoo

Everything is crossed, CM3!! Good luck! Hugs to Wish, Clancy, Hermione, Smokey, and Lily! xo

Happy Thursday evening all! So glad it's almost friday! Was on vacation last week and saw my family out west it just ended so fast,but it was good to get away! Work this week has at least gone by fast,and things are going good we are over being shorthanded which is why I never get on at work anhymore like I use to be able to. Brandi has about 2 weeksf left until the next school year starts she goes back to pre panning on August 3rd then classes start on the 8th. On the way to work this past week I can def tell it's not as daylight as It was just 3 weeks ago. Days are sloowly getting shorter!!! I hope to be around this weekend,not much planned at all this weekend,we are staying in and chilling...okay I can't believe it but I just now realized I missed last weekends Hallmark movie channel Christmas in july!!!! this truly is the end of the world...I am gonna have to start makng notes to myself...THat was this past weekend right??unreal I remember seeing the previews and everything!!! anyhow I miss all my good friends herebut I sure hope to be around more from here on out this year!!! goodnight everyone!

Hey gabulldawg! Nice to see you! Glad to hear you guys are doing well, and that you had a nice visit w/ the family. Don't miss Christmas in July on QVC this weekend =] Take care!!

Good morning mmc

You & me, both!! Just give your credit cards to Made to lock up, he's doing that for himself a few of us here too cheesy

The weather this week has been nice. not really that warm but it has dry most of the time .
Nothing new to report just work as usual.
Shop has been really busy this week. which am glad for as i spend a lot buying the landrover and have to get it back again
So u all have a good friday and take care
And hugs to all furbabies hope they are all doing well

Talk soon.

Glad to hear that the shop has been extra busy for you, couldn't have happened at a better time. Hugs to YOU, Scooby & Sasha. xo

Good morning!
It's Friday!! =]

I just bought ticket to the cinema
Me and Isak (4 years old) are going to see Madagascar 3 tonight!
This will be his first visit to the cinema.
Hope it doesn't scare him =]

Happy Friday, Solice!! Have fun @ the movie w/ Isak! Let us know his reaction to the big screen =*)

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Off to London today. Visit my daughter for awhile, stop at costco and seee what Hallmark has on sale for Christmas in July.

Hope you all have a great day!!

Have a great time w/ your daughter today and browsing @ Hallmark, CS!

Good morning, MMC!

Good Morning, Meceka!! Hugs to you, Bo, Mouse, Palmer, and all of your furkids! xo

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a nice here with a high in the mid 80's today. I guess I have to babysit today. So there goes my day of rest. I better stop and grab another container of coffee when I leave my sister's house. I'm going to need the extra caffeine to make it through tomorrow now. I'll also be praying for the people of Colorado this morning. I don't know what would drive someone to just walk into a movie theather and start shooting like that. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning, Made! Get lots of caffeine!!! =]
Also praying for everyone in Colorado, what a senseless tragedy. One of our local DJ's is from that area, and she had someone that she knew on the air this morning that was in the theater. So sad & hard to listen to, she was breaking up the whole time, one of her friends was shot & is unaccounted for right now. They don't know if she's in the hospital, or is one of the unfortunate ones who didn't make it.

Have not posted in quite some time, but I'm glad to see that everyone is doing well. I have been very busy with college,kids,and life in general! I have gotten the Christmas bug just recently which is pretty typical for me around this year!

Hey snowytree! Good to see you, Merry Christmas In July!

I am not feeling 100% today. I better not be coming down with something! I feel sooo tired so I am going to get some rest. I will need it for QVC this weekend!!!

This will be me after I get rested up!

Hope you're getting some rest, CAH~ Feel better, friend!!

Coming to you live from my kitchen... preparing a big feast for tomorrow! I am making mac and cheese at the moment and next on the list are some spiced sugar cookies for the boys to decorate later. Gotta make some homemade rolls today, too! Yippie!!

That sounds delicious, judesmama! Have fun!!

We started this month with a fireworks ban due to drought and 100 degreee plus weather...now we have had 8 or 9 inches of rain since the Fourth. Amazing electrical show all last night. And just sticky normal heat instead of dry extreme heat. So ready for fall! Will have to take a walk through the stores to help put me in the fall frame of mind this weekend. Have a good weekend everyone!

Hey Snowman, enjoy browsing around this weekend! I can't wait for Fall, either!

Off for a blood test soon. It is great to see Dawg back, just in time for an OPERA!!! Opera is my favorite. TTYL

Thinking of you, Seawaters. Good luck today! xo

Made, I, too, am praying for the people in Aurora. It is so heartbreaking!

Solice, I had to look up Red-eye gravy, too. I hope you are having a good day! How did your movie excursion with your little one go?

CAH, I hope you are better soon!

I hope you get some rest and feel better for the coming weekend! Have a good day and {{{HUGS}}} for you and your fur kids!

I think Harlowe got together w/ your little ones & they were plotting against us :wink:
Little stinkers! Harlowe was so playful last night, and would not come to bed. Drove me nuts, lol. Of course she's so cute @ it, that I can't stay mad at her for long. Maybe Made wants to share his caffeine w/ us? Have a good day, friend!

Seawaters, good luck with your blood test! {{{HUGS}}}

judesmama, that food sounds so good!

Snowytree, welcome back to the countdown!

FYI: Light bread, to me, is sandwich bread. I suppose it's called that because it's not "heavy" bread like sourdough.

It's the same around here, but I've always thought it was light bread because it was lighter in color that wheat bread. Either way, all my life it's been light bread. :-D

 

[Solice]

Good evening!
I just put Isak to bed.
He really liked going to the cinema.
It was so fun! I'm looking forward to take him there again!

I'm ready for some chicken wings.
And I will eat them in the sofa in front of the TV!!
(don't tell anyone)

So, what are my Christmas friends doing tonight? =]

 

[made582]

Pumpkin pie sounds good!

I just finished lunch not too long ago and after reading here I am wanting some pumpkin pie myself!!! with some whipped cream on top!hmmm

Dinner will be ready at 5pm tomorrow!!!

 

[made582]

What did they do lol

Well there was the whole screaming at the top of your lungs, running up and down the aisles, and then knocking 2 glass bottles off of a shelf.

 

[made582]

Does my weather bug really say 71 degrees? I think I'm hallucinating.

 

[made582]

Nope I just opened my windows and it feels great out!!! Thank you cloud cover!!!!! Now if we could just get rid of the 90% humidty.
