I am so tired, and I know I won't finish reading all the posts tonight. I wanted to drop in and tell you that Wal-mart employees came to our school today with a meat tray, a veggie tray, and cupcakes for teachers. Then we EACH received a $50 gift card!!! How nice was that??? TTYL

That was very nice of them.

Good Morning Christmas Gang!

Am I the only one awake?

I had a really nice evening yesterday. I hope you all had a good evening as well!

Luckily the rain finally stopped. It was getting scarry and a lot of people have to deal with flood damage on their houses. My dad drove to my grandparents yesterday and close to their home he had to drive through a flooded street. The water reached the door of the car. Luckily nothing happened to dad and the car.

Good morning, Cetacea! How awful when it floods like that. I'm so glad that your dad is all right, the car, too! I hope you are having a MERRY day!

Good morning, MMC!

I was woken up early, so I have started getting things sorted out for the day. There is a cookie sheet full of green peppers drying in the oven ~ the scent of peppers is rather strong at the moment. The oven is helping to warm up the house ~ it was 59 when I woke up. Didn't feel too bad to me, but the cats were upset. They have calmed down and are now both sleeping, as is Bo. He climbed up the stairs himself this morning ~ I guess it was too cold for him when he was outside. I'm glad he was able to climb, but I really don't want him doing that without someone by him ~ it is so easy for him to take a tumble and I don't want him to get hurt. I am working from home today ~ going to log in and see if any work was sent for me to do and then I have a lot of stuff to take care of for the store. Found some good deals at a couple of estate sales yesterday and I have to find a place to store three boxes of glassware and Christmas items.

Take care, everyone, and have a most MERRY day!

:merry:

Made is going to disconnect his phone.

That explains why you would not answer the phone last night. You missed out! You won tickets for a month long vacation to a destination of your choice but the plane took off at midnight. Sorry! :wink:

Grandma got run over by a reindeer- Grandma in the yard

Nooooo! Not grandma! :lol:

You are more than welcome xo I actually think of myself as the auntie to all the furkids on MMC xo

Auntie CM3!

Mr. ordered me a silly anniversary gift. He knows I'm a fan of Simon's Cat, so he ordered a plush Simon's Cat. So I'm going to surprise him with a DVD set he wants. I was going to save it for Christmas, but he deserves something nice! I'll give it to him when the toy cat arrives.

Love it! Simon is funny!!!

Walmart sometimes gets a bad rap but they really did a nice thing for our family after my grandma passed away. My dad, during semi retirement, was a door greeter there and when his mother died, Walmart paid for a full spread of food and they delivered it all. We had so much food that it fed everyone and we had plenty of leftovers! It was such a surprise and we were very thankful for their generosity!

Thanks CAH !! and everyone !! I will always keep David's Jacket. I know if you had all met him you would have loved him too xo

I know we would have! xoxo

Poor Bo! You take such great care of him!

Awwww...You are truly an animal angel !! xo If you and I and Snowflake all lived close to one another, NO animal would ever want for anything !!! xo

Yes, along with my next door neighbor. She and I both feed all the stray kitties and see to it they all get fixed and get their shots. My neighbor is an angel. All of us together would take great care of all critters! =)

Glad your dad is safe!

Hey! Look!
ONE MONTH from the day after tomorrow.
The Season arrives, right on schedule.
Gadzooks and Forsooth!

Nice day yesterday with the high in the low 70's and no rain.
Wish that could continue but I'm afraid it's going to turn cooler again.
We are at 49 degrees here in the capital city at this hour.

Ready for a Through and Through Thoroughly Thrilling Thursday, Folks?
Well, this is where it starts -- right here at MMC -- the fun and smile capital of the internet!
And it's because of all of you that its magic works so well.
Be proud.
Be very proud.

Love the fun words!

We are getting so close to the all the fun!!!!

Of course Scooby gets the sofa!!! You sound just like me!

As I tell everyone, "This house belongs to my fur children, they are just nice enough to let me live here".

My son is the same as me too. I will go in his room and see our cat standing on his desk blocking his monitor. My son will not move him at all and let him block it and then baby him. He just waits until he moves on his own then continues with computer stuff afterward. LOL!

Good morning everyone!

'Pines Day is over, which means we are so close to the weekend. Unfortunately, Thursday is my Friday. I'm only working part-time, so I have a four day weekend. I will take advantage of it tomorrow, however. Aside from applying for jobs, I will head to the Rideau Centre in search of "early" signs of Christmas! As I have said before, I am expecting the Bay to have their Christmas displays nearly completed in the third-level catwalk, but we shall see!

It was a nice chilly walk to the bus this morning. The temperature felt like -1c (31f). I was able to walk comfortably with a sweater, however. Lots of people were out in their warm coats and winter attire. It's too early for that, if you ask me, especially for Canadians. Temperatures are supposed to remain in the single digits now until Saturday. No complaints. It's fall!

I am sore. The gym tired me out again yesterday. I was happy to return to doing some heavy deadlifts yesterday. It's a great feeling to know that I have not lost much strength. Good and surprising, really. Tonight, we have hockey at 10pm. A little late, but it is Men's hockey, so we have the later schedule. At least it's not 11 pm. We're gunning for our first win tonight. We lost our first game and then our second game. Each by a goal. I was not at the second game due to my knee. Hopefully I can make a difference tonight!

Well, I should get back to work. I have a few things on my desk that must be attended to. Have a wonderful Thursday, everyone. The Christmas Season is nearly a month away... Another reason to look forward to the weekend!

Good Morning MMC!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....turned on the furnace this morning and had to wear mits when picking up my daughter (she just got off night shift) Heavy frost on everything. About 2 hours north of us they had snow.

The house smells like cake, have an order for pick up tomorrow.

love this picture!

Going to costco with mom this afternoon, have to renew my membership.

That's because I was rescuing my brother in law, who got stranded at goodwill when his car wouldn't start. Anyone want to change a fuel pump in a 2002 cavalier?

Sent from my KFTT using Tapatalk 2

well, if you have to be stranded at least that is a good place!
hope he got it fixed

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Hey Christmasstar, You should start a thread of having people come up with ideas for a Christmas Carol for your Gingerbread House theme. I am enjoying the ideas everyone has here and it would be fun to see what the rest of MMC comes up with! =)

 

[made582]

well, if you have to be stranded at least that is a good place!
hope he got it fixed

It's at the shop but they can't get to it until tomorrow. There was no way I was going to attempt to do it with a full tank of gas.

Hey everyone!

My hubby and I just finished celebrating our 8th wedding annversary. We spent the day together, along with our baby girl. He surprised me a diamond anniversary band. I've been wanting a new one because my original ring scratches the baby. I was so excited! He's such a good man.

8 years already, may you be blessed with many many more....glad to hear you had a great day!

 

[made582]

Good Morning MMC!!!!! We are going to start warming up today but right now it's cold and everything is covered in frost. I love it!! I don't have much on the agenda for today. Just some cleaning around the house. I'm hoping to find all of the spoons that CAH has hid while she was doing my dishes. I use to have like 30 of them and now I'm down to 20. I think she might be throwing them away so she doesn't have to wash them. Well I'm off. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Christmasstar]

I will have to think of which carol would be good but whatever you pick out I'm sure it will be nice!

Silent Night- You could do the silent night chapel.

Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)- A house with Santa coming down the street in front of it

I saw three ships- Beach cottage with someone standing on the porch watching three ships

Grandma got run over by a reindeer- Grandma in the yard

Frosty- Schoolhouse with the kids putting the hat on Frosty in front of it

"It's a Marshmallow World"

That is Cool !! I bet "Up On The House Top" would be a neat theme !! xo

Thanks! All great ideas.
I have to call yet to see what size I am allowed to do and that will help in the decision as to which song to use.
So many good songs to choose from is my biggest problem!! LOL
