Christmas Countdown - 2012

[made582]

FIL passed away this afternoon; we got the news just a few minutes ago. Mr. is on his way down there now before the mortician arrives. Mr. and his family all had some quality time with him toward the end, playing his favorite music on the iPad and holding his hand. Yesterday he could barely speak, but he managed to say, "Tough old man." He certainly was. God rest his soul. Thank you all for your prayers during his long final illness.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying for all of you.

YAY!!!! I just signed up for the Christmas Card Exchange!!!

I don't think I'll be signing up for the Ornament Exchange this time. I'm already doing one with two close transplant friends of mine.


How have you all been? Enjoying the cooler weather? Taking advantage of Christmas-related sales? Getting more gift shopping done than you anticipated?


I hope you all have had a great, relaxing weekend that helped re-charge your internal batteries for the week ahead! :-D

Great video. It reminded me of O. Henry's "Gift of the Magi."

Im updated, but my eyes hurts. I can hear my bed is calling for me...

Thanks for sharing pictures Brent. Love them.
It must have been amazing!
Meceka - hope the day gets better! Much much better!!
And Made - Friday the 13 - with Jason???
Well, I guess that's the end of your 'babysitting career'... LOL

Goodnight! ♥

 

[Seawaters]

Oooo. I hate when that happens! Glad it was good otherwise. Good night, George!

It's late, I can't sleep, so here I am... I took the Mrs out for dinner tonight and Oh Boy, it was great, but it's not liking me too much! Have you ever felt like that you just ate a brick? Well that's how I feel right now. Boy, 6 hours later and I'm still feeling it; I need the extra strength Malox.

Well after dinner, we went out on our continued search for a new Christmas Tree, and we found one that we liked and bought it tonight. It's a Martha Stewart Living, 7.5 foot tall tree. It is a pre-lit tree, but I will be taking those off....

I'm still putting up my Halloween decorations but I have to tell you, going shopping for a Christmas tree really got me all pumped up for Christmas instead... I'm sooooo Holiday confused right now...lol

Well it is getting really late here on the east Coast and I guess I should try to make another attempt to get some sleep; see you all in the AM... Say Goodnight Gracie!!!

Wow! Strange but nice!!!

We went to Toys R Us to shop for a baby shower gift for our friend. We also had the boys go around and give us ideas for Christmas, now we know what we are getting them. We went to BK for lunch and stayed there for a while so the boys could play on the playground, while we were there, another woman was there with her sons and mother. We were talking and she comes over to me and asked me if my name was Ronnie, I said yes. She then said she was our next door neighbor when I was age 1-8, she was/is a year older than me and I was over her house almost everyday to play as kids. We had a love/hate relationship as kids, but once again someone from distant past has shown up out of the blue. Her mother watched my sister and I all the time, we had dinners, birthday parties, etc... together. How strange is that twice in one week I see someone I haven't seen in nearly 30 years?
Hope your having a great Sunday, and your football teams are winning for you.

Thinking of Mr. and his family, and yes, you too! RIP

Oh yea, I forgot to mention that part, we really liked the shape and fullness of the tree, but it is a pre-lit tree with white lights and well, we don't care so much for the white lights, we perfer the multi-colored mini lights and also alot more of them as well than what the tree is pre wired for.

I realize that it seems a little bit of a waste, but I have a plan, I will remove all the white bulbs and just save them to use as spares for other decorations that I have...and I also figured that we will keep this tree for hopefully another 15-20 years (since we no longer have any small children pulling on it anymore, lol), so we should at least get our monies worth out of it. Well, at least that's the plan right now....

And that brick in my stomach, I still felt it this morning after a troublesome night of sleeping... all morning, I kept thinking about the old TV commercial, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing...."

i noticed others posts about it but yeah, we've had pre lit trees for some time now & they usually only have 700-800 lights on them. we like colored lights too. i've never taken lights off but i always add to them. the white are already on it & we add 9 or 10 strands of colored lights. the white 1's seem to glisten like diamonds w/ the ruby, emerald, & sapphire 1's.

Good afternoon, MMC!

I can't believe I finished with my work this early. I have time to work outside a bit.

I won't be back on today, so I wish all of you MERRY dreams and a most wonderful start to the new week!!!

glad you got caught up earlier than you had thought. sweet dreams meceka!

Cowboys won today!!!

Wow....

yeah, don't rub it in too much coach!!! we are Panther's

Good evening, Christmas family

I watched one of my favorite Halloween movies last night, Hocus Pocus ! It isn't scary but I just think it is really cute !! I have been watching for the classics to show up, the origina Dracula, the orginal Night of the Living Dead, etc. but I don't seem them in the upcoming schedule !! I know that Charlie Brown is going to be on Halloween evening !!!

I forgot to tell you guys......I lost another 3 pounds so that is 10.3 altogether. I only have 12 left and I will be at goal again. These last 12 might be harder but I plan to stick with it !! I will probably be back later to say goodnight !! xo

WAY TO GO CM3!!that's great. i love the movie Hocus Pocus too. was it on tv? if so, bummer, i missed it!

[Seawaters]

You could send some out here!!!

Thanks! I do have a few green ones in the basement too! I can probably go out in the garden & get some more green & partially ripe ones if I decide too! there is a bunch out there!!! Oh how I love tomato season, but I feel like I'm about done with putting them up! Lol!

Hubby NEVER gets tired of talking. He has a nickname among the Elks: Talking George!!!

When you're both tired of talking, play Christmas music!
Or old-time radio. There are tons of Christmas episodes on Archive.org that you can download for free.



What a nice shell pattern! And the colors work beautifully together. Your SIL will love it---it will provide so much warmth and comfort. Never worry about an afghan being too big---it can double as a bedspread! Great to snuggle under for warm naps.
