Good morning. More rain this morning. Forecast to turn to snow after lunch. We should get around 8 inches of snow on top of the 12 inches of rain we've already had this week. Mudslides are happening all around us. Hwy 441 across the Great Smoky Mountain National Parkway is closed due to a major mudslide. I love the snow and cold but the flooding and mudslides are no fun.

Have a blessed day everyone. Hope we are eating snowcream for supper.

Have your sister check with the local Elks Lodge. Elks have children's charities that help kids with medical needs, vision screening, hearing screening, etc. at no cost. In California alone, we raised close to $3 million for kids last year. We are the third highest group in the NATION that give out scholarships. Microsoft (via Bill Gates) is #1, and the U.S. government is #2. It used to be the government #1, Elks #2. Let me know if you need any help and I will find out some information for your sister.

Good Morning MMC!!!!! Well it's winter so it's cold outside. It looks like we may get a slight warm up on Saturday though before the bottom falls out on Monday. Once again, I'm exhausted. I really need to stop staying up until 3 and 4 am. My sister in Seattle was freaking out last night though and kept calling. My BIL works for Boeing building the 787 and if you've watched the news lately, you'll know that they had some problems. So there boss told them yesterday that there were rumors that they may have to shut the whole line down and layoff 5000 of them while they do a redesign. So my sister is worried because they really can't afford to lose their insurance with my niece having to have the infusions. Hopefully they learn something more today to calm her nerves. Well I'm off to get some stuff done or maybe head back to bed. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss snowcream so much. I am not a vanilla ice cream person (much prefer chocolate) but snowcream is another matter. LOVE it!!! Take care, my friend.

Time for work, and Hubby is out scrapping the car and turning on the heat. Not many days left to work before retirement sets in! LOL

HAPPY MILESTONE DAY!!!!!!!

Also, Happy Thursday! We are getting very close to the weekend now! I will have a four day weekend. Woo hoo! :yahoo:

I cannot believe that next week will be my third week back at college while some people will still be on break. It amazes me! I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I was off from school for over a month.

Off to run some errands, then I really need to catch up on posts. You guys have all been so chatty!

Here's a tip for you: Buy a shave-ice machine, and you can make snowcream anytime you like. I got one as a gift last summer. It comes with little round molds that you freeze ice in; then the ice goes into the machine, which "shaves" the ice into a mound of "snow." Traditionally you put flavored syrups on it, like a snow cone, but instead you can add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla flavoring to it. Tastes like licking the dasher of an old-fashioned ice-cream freezer!

***** MILESTONE DAY *****

300 days until the Christmas Season?! Wonderful! Glad to spend it here with you all!

it comes and goes somewhere between a 3 and an eleven. Today it is at about a 7 (on a scale of 1 to 10) I have a new respect for those of you who live with this every day. Here I am only a few days of this and whining.

That is horrible ~ I sure hope you are better now!

Wow it is almost 12:30 here and I have only been back from work for 15 min! Usually home by 11:30. Crazy busy night for a Wednesday. $400 in sales in 3 1/2 hours is a lot for our little shop, especially when on alone. I feel bad I had to leave so much prep work for the morning girl but I just ran out of steam. I left her an apology note and told her to call if she needed help. I am in again at 11am but could go in sooner if needed.
Well I am tired and going to bed.
Good night all!!!

That is a lot of subs.

Good afternoon, everyone! It's been a quiet day here at the office. The doctor is out of town, and the only secretaries here are my sister and me. It's Sis's birthday today, and her friends from church have taken her to lunch. So it's only me here right now, catching up on the unending forms. I have my music cranked up, and I've got a bacon cheeseburger for my own lunch. There's the good life for you!

Happy Birthday to your sister ~ I hope she had a wonderful day!

I would love a local station that plays Christmas music at this time of the year, especially. I wish there was a cable channel on TV that played Christmas music 24/7 365 days a year but Music Choice is definitely out of the running for that.....:-(

I feel the same way. That is one of the reasons I DVR some Christmas music from Music Choice so I can listen to it all year when I need a little Xmas pickmeup. I know it won't let you record Music Choice CM3, but you could always do MCR or set up a Pandora Christmas station. I do that also as needed.

I sort of got a little chuckle out of that little fact; at myself that is, with 300 days to the start of the Christmas season and I still have some Christmas lights lit on my front porch. Hee-Hee-Hee!

But, I have to admit, The inside decorations are now all down and put away and 85% of the outside decorations are now down/ off and are in the process of being put away.

Time to pick out a name!

I'm leaning towards Spider or Bottle. Spider as he reminds me of a cat that was here several years ago we named Spider and Bottle because he has gorgeous bottle green eyes and a bottle brush tale. If he hangs around, I'll call him both and whichever one he seems to like will be his name. cheesy

Good afternoon everyone!

Busy week. A co-worker is leaving the office next week and I am assuming a lot of her responsibilities. Even though I am not under contract as of mid-May. I'm still working on that though.

Ottawa has been enjoyable this week. I've been busy with the gym and hanging out with Kim. My knee continues to heal. I'm really hopeful for a mid-February recovery, but we shall see how it goes. Not a whole lot else is new.

Hard to believe we're 300 days until the Christmas Season already. Lots of 2013 remains to enjoy, however. It should be a great year! Speaking of good times, I'm excited for the weekend. A real good friend of mine is having his bachelor party this weekend in Mont Tremblant, Quebec. It should be lots of fun! Most of the group will be skiing. Unfortunately, I cannot partake in it due to my knee, but I don't mind... the NHL's opening day will provide me with plenty of entertainment. I can't wait to see the Kings raise their Stanley Cup banner. It will be a special moment! Of course, there should be plenty of other things planned too!

Well, have a great Thursday, everyone!

There isn't anything wrong with that!

Is that near you?

Love the picture, especially the wreaths near the top of the bridge.

Let me be the first to say that Christmas Season will be here before we know it and we will be wishing that it would slow down!!! It will soon be Canadian Thanksgiving, Halloween, U.S. Thanksgiving, and then the beginning of the Season with the Special Posts. Time is already flying!!! Don't you just feel it?

Oh yeah, I am looking forward to the holiday countdown list from Made, one of my favorite posts of the year.
