Hubby is outside grilling a turkey breast on the rotisserie. I have chemo today, so he is getting dinner ready early for us to have when we get back home. He marinated it overnight, so it smells divine! We will have mashed potatoes etc. Yesterday, I made two pound cakes--one chocolate and one that has almond, lemon, and vanilla flavoring. I cut them in half and kept half of each one. We are taking the other halves to chemo to share with the other patients. This is supposedly the last time I will need chemo!!! Yay!!! I was so tired from the baking I did yesterday that I just could not participate in the wonderful dialog on Christmas in July; but I did read the posts!!!

And, somewhere along the way, I hit 50,000 posts. I have no idea how that happened!!!

Have a great day, y'all.

I forgot to add that Hubby bought fresh strawberries (and Cool Whip) to go with the pound cakes. He sliced the strawberries last night, so everything is just about ready!

Good afternoon!!! We went on vacation & we are back & we had a great time & how does that time go so fast???? ;) It is so hard to go back to work after several days off!!! But it was great. We went ziplining - what a blast! My hubby's uncle's place where we stayed is just beautiful. He has a home on 100 acres in southern Ohio... talk about getting away from it all! :)

At least I have Christmas in July at the lake to look forward too next weekend. Friday night is "Christmas Eve" - we are having snacks & watching the fireworks over the lake from the town festival. Saturday is Christmas complete with Christmas dinner - I am making a ham, my neighbor a turkey & everyone else is bringing all the fixings: pumpkin pie, dressing, sweet potato souffle, mashed potatoes, homemade noodles, + more & of course eggnog! After Christmas dinner is a white elephant gift exchange, then we are watching a Christmas movie on the big screen. We are talking about Christmas Vacation, Elf, or Christmas Story. Looking forward to it!!! :D

I hope you are all doing well!

CM3 - congrats on the new job!!! Best wishes!

Seawaters - glad to hear this is your (hoping & praying) last chemo! How sweet to bring a treat for the other patients! Best wishes to you as well!!!! Keeping you in my thoughts/prayers!

Better get back to work...working on lowering this pile that built up on my desk over just a few days.... UGH!

My Christmas friends I have missed you all so much. I cant believe I havent logged on since 3/27! Almost 4 months..CRAZY! Anyways things are slowling down and I plan to at least get on here once a week because I need a little Christmas all the time now that its Christmas in July. I hope you all are doing well and I have a lot of catching up to do! I am having my big Christmas in July dinner on Saturday. Looking forward to the Fall (but not turning 30..my 30th Birthday is October 13 yikes!)

Welcome back stranger! Being in your 30's is not bad at all. cheesy
 
Good evening,

Yahh Monday is done with! Just sitting here relaxing watching a cheezy movie called "Your Highness" mindless entertainment. We will be seeing "The Dark Knight Rises" tomorrow, I have anxiously awaited this movie for a few years now.

Watching QVC this weekend was quite fun with all of you, the commentary on here had me thinking of Mystery Science Theater 3000, I use to love that show.

Hope you all have a great night!

Good Monday morning everyone!

Heat advisory and possible storms moving in. We still need all the rain we can get. What a dry hot summer its been. On my 2nd cup of coffee. Ready to go home, not for another 4 and a half hours but I'm READY lol. I watched a lot of QVC Christmas in July. Just what the DR ordered. Some crummy stuff and some nice stuff. Didn't buy anything though. Even William saw some of the Christmas tree's and pointed them out! He is a Christmas man in training haha. Nothing really new, just downloaded some nice relaxing Christmas music. Its creeping closer and closer. Bahh humbug to all the people that don't like Christmas when I talk about it haha. Hope you all stay cool and dry and have a great day!

As most of you know, cake boss is one of my favorite shows.
Sad news on tonight's show as Buddy tells everyone that his mom has been diagnosed with ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. Lots of tears as they talk openly about Marys prognosis.

This family needs lots of prayers as they help their mom deal with this.

I just got done watching the episode and it was pretty sad. I'll be keeping them in my prayers.
