Christmas Countdown - 2012

[merrymistletoe]

hey everyone, long time, no see! Sorry i have been away so long. I was in pittsburgh this past weekend with dh, then it stormed bad while we were there, so dh has to reset the wifi again. I am really starting to get sick of this happening. Oh well.

How is everyone else? I hope well. I think about each of you often. After this coming weekend, i hope to be back here full time!

God bless and talk soon!

sugar we are fine. Hoping you had a nice weekend w/ hubby!

i have to take advantage of these little respites, i won't have any vacation time until december because i used all of it from my foot injury last january.

i hope you thoroughly enjoy your time off xmas!

ohhhh, what a busy day ... Wish i could've had a afternoon nap.
Hope i can go home soon ... Wait, i have two loads of laundry to do when i get there ...

maybe you can get that nap today merry!

went back to start of this thread and found this tidbit so thought to update it....
We now have 14012 posts to go before reaching last years goal!

wowser, we will definitely pass last years goal!

how did i miss this???

I just had my 3 year anniversary here at mmc on june 21st!!!! I didn't realize i have been here this long. Time sure flies when you're having fun! You are all a great group of people to hang out with!

happy 3 year anniversary to you & tex!

too late, i'm afraid ... Mr. Started the laundry for me before i got home, and the second load's in the dryer ...

Oh how sweet & thoughtful of him.





You know, you are right. I'll fall asleep counting my blessings tonight. Sometimes we all need a reminder not to take too much for granted.

Sent from my kindle fire

I have been giving him lots of extra hugs and kisses these days ....that attack with his heart really scared the be-jeebers out of me....they say he doesn't have that long left but "they" arent the ones who - decide xo so i am hoping and praying xo

mgramsey - keeping you and your family in my prayers xo

(((hugs)) to all especially ella, harlowe, snickers, snowball, gomez and siblings, chico and siblings, victor, maggie, pocket, penny, scooby, sasha, and all furkids everywhere xo

all we can do is cherish every minute w/ our furbabies & be thankful they can bless our lives for the short time we have them. I pray for a special blessing for wish!

hey friends! Just wanted to say goodnight! I haven't got to read today's posts yet, but since i'm off work tomorrow, i can then!!!

Did i say i was off work?

enjoy your day off coach!

well, i have been away working at my grandfathers house since the storm hit friday night. I believe it was the same storm that hit you brother-in-law as well. We had to cancel my daughters graduation party, my in-laws are still without power and my grandfather still does not have any power as well. I have been working back and forth between the two home (mostly at my grandfathers) i loaned my generator to my in-laws and i have two generators at my grandafthers running. I have been up at his house non-stop trying to keep the generators running, switching the electrical cords around from refrigerator to the freezers to the ac, trying to save his food and keep him cool and safe. At 94, and living by himself, i'm at my wits end of worrying about him. I went out and bought several of these coleman battery lanterns to help keep things lit around the house when he shuts the generators down late in the evening, so that he can see and feel a little safer. I hope and pray that the power comes back on soon... I have heard that the storm totals are now up to 18 deaths and 4 million people that were/ are without power, localy, we have about 200,000 people still without power. I'm going to bed now, hopefully get some rest... I will try to catch back up soon with everyone....... Thank you!

thank God you are there to help your parents & gr.father. I sure hope the power is restored quickly. I'm sure it's wearing you down also. Praying for all!

good morning mmc friends. How is it with you all this morning
big day tomorrow for you guys have u all plans made?
weather today at the moment is dry but as usual it gives rain but it is very mild and close. In fact i see the sun wow
have to pallets this morning . Suitcases and furniture. So hopefully it will not take all day
i hate this time of year as i never no what to bring in. If the sun was shinning yes i can get loads of summer outdoor stuff abut its not warm enought for that . People are not thinking about sitting out or bbq,s at the moment you could not trust the weather.
am hoping its get better and warmer as every year i have a big bbq for about 80 people and this year its on the 1st sat in augest. And as i put the marquee on the grass it has to be dry. I love from october on as thats when the christmas stuff and present stuff goes out but its hard to as people dont need it till christmas so its a paying in session.
hoping all furbabies are doing good and behaving.. What do you guys do about the fireworks. Does the animals not be scared. We wood only have fireworks on halloween night and scooby just runs round the garden barking. Sasha does not bother sometimes i think she is a wee bit slow . When i give them treats i have to give scooby say 5 and give sasha 2 as he eats so quick and he wood take them of her. Just 2 different ways of going on i guess
right folks time i was dressed and another cuppa. So you all take care as you go along today and talk soon

so when does it get warmer over there shelliegirl? Our plans are still undecided since hubby's not sure if he'll be working or not. Usually we have a big bbq & all the family & some friends come over & maybe fireworks @ dark.

greetings from norway.
The plumber did fix my washing machine and my dishwasher yesterday.
Juhu! Im so glad!

The sun is shining today. Temp 61 f
i've just finished this book: the forgotton garden by kate morton
i loved it... And wonder why i had in my bookshelf for two years!!?
Now i have to find a new good book to take with me out in the sun..

Wish you all a super tuesday! ♥

i'm sure you're relieved the washer & dishwasher are fixed. I always think repairs are expensive, but when you look @ the price of replacing them....no comparison. Whew! Have a wonderful day solice!

I have been hearing about that on the news. You are blessed to have generators to use. (I am thinking it is something I should invest in)
Keep safe! Praying for you

[made582]

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! I won't even bother telling you about the weather. I'm sure you can all guess. I don't have much on the agenda today. I need to fix my niece's breakfast since they had to stay the night last night. Then I'll have to take them home before I head to the grocery store. My sister is supposed to be up and walking more today so hopefully I won't get stuck out there real long. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Tuesday morning all! Hope everyone had a great Canada day! Ill give all the Americans a pre Happy 4th of July salute! I know its a big party and celebration there. Its July eh? I installed the QVC app on my ipod touch. Has the streaming video from QVC right inside the app! I'm ready and set a reminder for Christmas in July! I think tonight since it will be just William and I, Ill pop in frosty the snow man. He loves that special. Or Charlie Brown Christmas? Or Garfield Christmas..oh no. I can't decide. Oh well, just have to watch all of them I guess hehe. I found some Christmas glasses when we went to the beach. They had little shops in Port Stanley. Ill post pictures tonight when I get home. I wanted to buy a glass but it was a set. Oh well. Gotta get back to work, hope you all have a great day! Keep cool!
