Christmas Countdown - 2012

[merrymistletoe]

Hello, beautiful Christmas Family! ♥
I have baked cakes and cookies today.
We are expecting guest this afternoon

A little celebration for DH since we are in Amsterdam for the weekend.
I think he will bring with him his St Patrick hat to Amsterdam
(some Irish pubs celebrate St Patricks Day there too)
His Birtday is on Saturday, the 17th and some years ago we celebrated
his day in Dublin, Irland. Wow, that was fun - and green!
And every year since, he always put the hat on this day.
Just for a while anyway cheesy


Here he is:

..



We were not alone in Dublin this day, as you can see here:

oh solice, i love it! he's really rock'in that hat!! how about free drinks for him being so festive on his b-day?

Enjoy your half day! Sounds lovely!

Praying for safe travels for your husband. I am sure you will miss him and I understand what you mean, about him only be going for a week, but it will be hard for you. It would be hard for me, too. DH is my best friend and it would be terrible for me, too!

you got that right girl, i will miss him sooo much, i know he's gonna enjoy himself though.thank you for the safe travel prayers.

Good morning,


Work will be calling in a little more than an hour, late night tonight. Our street is all ripped up for re-paving, so it will be fun to get out of here with the road all torn up. Trying to get some laundry done, we are so far behind right now, like I said it is run run run right now, I am a week and a half behind on mine, so blahh I hate laundry. This weekend will be another busy one, work Saturday, LC's 4th birthday party on Sunday, his actual birthday is the 20th, it feels like we have no time right now, the next few weekends from now until up past Easter are all "booked" solid.

This time of year is almost as busy as Christmastime for us.

Have a good day!

wow, super-d-duper busy!! remember to take a deep breath when needed!!

I feel so bad for you. I have been running sort of into the same situation too. I used to take Allerga D, then stopped taking it when I got pregnant and never started it back up 8 months ago. I should because I have everyday allergies. Mine are going crazy right now, too. You can get OTC now at the pharmacy, so I just need to go get it. It really works well. Hope you can find something to work for you.

i seriously think i've tried it ALL! dawg had mentioned a med the other day i'm gonna try too. it's gotten to where between my sinus' & migraines...it's harder to tell the difference between them.

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's been really busy here this morning, and it still is. It's so nice outside, I have have all three of my windows open with a breeze coming through my office...ahhh!

I did a little more work on my deck yesterday, and it's looking good. I tell you again, I'm loving this Daylight Savings Time!

I hope y'all have a great day!

don't laugh...but as i was reading this i imagined it being read @ warp speed, kind'a like alvin & the chipmunks on fast forward. dude honestly, how much coffee do you consume a day? you stay so busy & seem to take it all in stride. good for you!!mr. mayor!!

Why, thank you for saying so! Yes, I will post a photo when it's finally finished. I made the same pattern some years ago (should have made better notes about those half-hex pieces then!) and it turned out nicely---gave it to one of my S-I-Ls for Christmas.

One drawback of crocheting afghans for enjoyment: After you've got a few in your house, and your family and friends all have one, it gets to be a challenge finding homes for new ones, and finding space to keep them until you do!

oh no merrycarey, don't you ever wonder about homes for those gorgeous afghans, i've seen your pics of some before & they look so much like the ones my late precious grandma used to make all the time. girl you can drop'em @ my door anytime!!!! you are so talented!!

hey ya'll!! when i got off @ 1pm, i took my daddy to pick up their car in the shop, then my big brother rode w/ me to town to look @ a few car lots. we are looking for daughter her 1st car & then my son another 1,better on gas after he sells his. didn't see anything but i'm in no hurry so i'll take my time & find the safest 1 i can.
kind'a fun hanging w/ my brother for a little while. we went to walmart to pick up his wifey's rx & i needed to get a few things. he's a great person (when he wants to be)!
waiting for hubby & daughter to come in.
feeling kind'a Christmassy today, maybe i'll put on some Christmas music..... see ya'll in a bit!!

I remember reading here a while back that Carl has delivery service now, so the answer is YES!

What a nice surprise! Carl just left, he dropped off a case of fired twinkies (said they have magical healing ingredients)
Also a big box of lemon tea and a big bottle of honey.
Got a hug and a kiss (which I am still drying off from) and a rose. What a nice camel!

Check out the case of fired twinkies. I bet he put in your commerative Irish flag in there. Just don't sit on the pointy end!!!

Good Pines Day morning, Christmas friends. It is windy, cold, and rainy here in northern California. I think it is already time for a nap, and it's not even noon here yet!!! I will try to get on later today. I go to Redding tomorrow morning and will (hopefully) get the stitches and staples out. I know I will feel lots better after that! The green speedos were a perfect choice for Made! Cute wig, too, Made! I almost got my fanny stuck by the tip of the green, white, and orange Irish flag. That crazy camel!!! He's giving them out to everyone!

Good luck tomorrow!

Darn I thought the wig might help hide my identity. I hope I don't scare to many people in this speedo. Cannonball!!!!!!!

Good evening, everyone. I just wanted to stop in real quick and say goodnight. Since I've been up since early this am, I'm dragging and need to get a good nap in for work tonight.

I enjoyed the Pines earlier. I hope you all continue to do so.

Well, I will talk to all of you tomorrow. Goodnight!
