If you are feeling "Christmas sentimental", like Christmas in the city and are a huge Percy Faith fan like me, you don't want to miss watching this:

I hope that you all had a great evening and that you sleep well and have sweet dreams!

Hopefully the image of snow and the house put you in a good mood tonight/in the morning. I would sure love to hang out in that cozy house and sit by the fire! I can't wait to decorate in a couple of months :] Good night!

I love the snowfall picture, I wish it was doing that right now.

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a beautiful day here with a high in the mid 70's. I got a early wake up call at 5am telling me that my brother in law had thrown out his back and wanting to know if I would come out and babysit while my sister took him to the hospital. So that's where I'm at. Hopefully they get home soon so I can run to the farmers market because I really don't want to drag both of my niece's with me. Now I'm off to find some caffeine since my sister doesn't have any coffee. I hope everyone is having a great day!!!!!!!

How rude is that, wake you up at 5am and not have coffee. cheesy

Yesterday afternoon, after our walk, I got my first real smile from Missy and here it is!

Finally, last night I filled out an online form in hopes of becoming a volunteer with the Girl Scouts. I was a GS for 7 years when I was growing up and I would LOVE to help with the next generation. Keep your fingers crossed that I hear back from them! :yahoo:

That is a great picture of Missy smiling! I hope you hear back from the Girl Scouts!

Good morning, MMC!

What a lovely, cool morning! All the stuff I should have done yesterday I need to do today. On Wed./Thurs. I pulled a major muscle in my side/back and had to take it easy yesterday. I had planned on working on store stock and moving books around (I have them piled every where!), but since I couldn't twist or do a lot of lifting I ended up spending yesterday with my cousin. We went to Frankenmuth to grocery shop and do lunch. We hung out at her house for a few hours and then went to Caro to shop at Goodwill and then have dinner. It was a fun day! Mouse was upset I had been gone all day and gave me quite a talking to ~ I gave her a hug and apologized for leaving her alone with Bo and Palmer locked in separate areas of the house. She finally forgave me and then ignored me for the rest of the evening. I am very tired this morning, though, as I was up past my normal bed time of 9 - 10 pm. Mouse had me up early as she was hungry. She had food in her bowl, but she gets a third of a can of "special" cat food and she wanted it when she wanted it and wasn't going to take no for an answer. She pulls this stunt every now and then ~ maybe she wasn't as forgiving as I thought :grin: She also wanted a polar fleece blanket on the bed. I left a few windows open last night and it got down into the low 40s this morning. At this time of the year, the sun does not shine in the house much, so she was chilled. She is happily snoozing on her blanket, with her hot pad nearby. Bo is snoring in the utility room and Palmer is out, racing around the living room and playing in a paper grocery bag. She is playing pounce, too. She will tap me with her front paws and then race away. She loves that game!

I need to get going on things ~ so much to do!

Have a MERRY day!!!!

I hope the pulled muscle is feeling better.

Good evening, MMC!

I got a lot done today, still have a lot to do ~ isn't that always the case, though?! I have so many dishes to do ~ I had best get started on them soon or they will not get done until tomorrow and I really hate walking into the kitchen in the morning to find a mess!!!

Don't forget the chat tonight ~ about a half hour away. I've already logged in should anyone want to join me.

Have a MERRY night!!!

:dance:

Good evening,

WOW! I am wiped! I worked by my self until 1:30pm on a busy Saturday, there is usually 3 of us on, I am proud to say I kept up but I am paying for it now. I came home and passed out on the couch for a bit. I am really in the mood for a Christmas movie, but my wife won't watch them in the "off-season" so it looks like I am outtaluck and will have to watch The Hunger Games with her.
I will try to pop in on the chat tonight.

Have a great night!

We are going to a luau at the Elks Lodge tonight. I have to press our Hawaiian shirts in just a minute. The ladies of the Elks are putting it on--pulled pork, lemon rice, broccoli salad (I think) fresh fruit, and lots of other stuff. TTYL

It's just not fully Christmas for me without Percy Faith.

There are a few of his pieces that MUST be played throughout the season.

If you loved my Percy Faith "Silver Bells" link, try Percy's competitor, the Hollyridge Strings. (Sorry, no video, just music. But what music!)

Just about the most beautiful instrumental version of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" I've ever heard.

what?....no grass skirt & coconut shell top? have a blast.

well i've missed the greasy skillet, the chat, & let's see what else? oh i think it's too much to mention.

took the kids shopping this afternoon, they got the rest of what they're getting for school, atleast what i have to be with them to get. son has to go tomorrow & get some binders & a few more supplies.
i am so dreading this school year starting. i hate having to get daughter up so early....she's just like me & we clash big time in the early a.m. then the 25 mile trek to her school/ 1 way. yuck yuck!!!

between here, facebook, & pinterest i've not done anything else this evening. aahh who cares? i'm tired & wanted to do my own thing. there's alot of stuff on pinterest as far as Christmas decor & ideas. love it!

ok here i go again.....instead of losing any weight i have gained to the point i'm @ my heaviest...EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
really feeling it in every aspect. gotta/must do something. i wish we could just reprogram our wiring to not eat or atleast not much. never exercise like i had planned to. our shop is a fully equipped gym inside & i've not touched any of it. must get the drive & energy needed to do this.

going to back to the doc on monday august 26 to get the cancer spot removed from my leg. i've not been back in the sun since i found out what that spot is. should've been doing that all along. oh would'a, could'a, should'a, alittle late for that now. i'll just be glad when it's done w/, ya' know?

not been in a very good/nice mood today.bit my kids heads off every time i turned around. i kept apologizing & telling them it was me not anything they had done but that doesn't make it ok. i gotta get a grip!!!

well, think i'm gonna go to bed now.


love, hugs, & smiles to y'all & me tonight! take care My MC friends!:sparkle::sparkle::sparkle:
