Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Festive Spirit]

Good Morning! I hope everyone has recovered from the Pines last night. Crazy night!

 

[Cetacea]

Good lunch time MMC Gang!

Those time differences make me crazy too.

I would love to watch one of those QVS (is that right?) shows with you one day. After reading all your posts it seems like they are funny. Do they run everyday?

I'm feeling much better today. Guess the stomach flu figured out that I'm boring company and decided to go and bother someone else.

Yesterday I got great news from my best friend. She's having her second baby sometime around late February or early March. I'm soo excited and hope for a girl. Her baby boy is going to be one year old on December 1th.

You got it, sister!!

Take good care of yourself!!

((Hugs))

I did and I'm feeling better now. Thanks for the advice ((Hugs))

If we must! You have a great night & join us at the Pines if you can!!!




Isn't that agrivating!!! Looking fwd to seeing your halloween decs!

I'm sure you trow great parties! Unfortunately the time differences will make it very difficult to join you at the pines. I'll try someday anyway.

Gym? Work out? Treadmill?

Why is everyone using such dirty words this early in the morning? I thought this was a family forum!!! :lol:

lol

I started a bronchitis more than 2 weeks ago.....since I had taken antibiotics in July, my doctor wanted to try to treat it without antibiotics......I went back to see the doc on Tusday and the bronchitis is still there.....so now I take antibiotica.....not too cool......I´m not really feeling bad....just have this urge to caugh and that stuff...kinda tight breathing....so I hope the meds will help.

Oh uh doesn't sound good. I'm sending get well soon wishes to you.

Give me kisses...muah!

SO FAKE!

*lol* You don't want to know what's going on in my mind after reading this. *looks very innocent*

Ahhhhhhh that elf is evil

Really? I thought all elfs are evil. Some of them are just better actors. ;-)

Take care, Cetacea. That stomach flu is not fun. Since chemo, my tummy sometimes becomes upset; normally, though, I have a pretty strong stomach. The doctor prescribed Ondansetron which is wonderful for nausea. I LOVE to travel by train. I have been across the US by train and love it, especially when I have a room. It is so handy when the train stays in one place overnight (New Orleans). Oh, don't worry about being schoolmasterish. We all make suggestions to each other about different ways to approach things, whether headaches, stomach flu, or other things, LOL! My energy is still here!!! YAY! I hope we hear soon about Coach, Dr. Wifey, and La Bambina. It is so exciting!

I know they are awful. My sister is prone to have them, as she has lactose intolerance and a very sensitive stomach. Mine is usually pretty strong too. Don't know why I got it this time.

Wow.....

Overwhelmed with emotions. That's how I feel....words can't explain it, but I want to try.

Birth.....was unlike anything I could have expected. Seeing the love of my life in labor for 15 hours (5 of those without any painkiller), vomiting the last 10, seeing the baby being born....it was all.....well....almost horrific.

The love of my life was hurting. She was in so much pain because of an accident with her epidural. I kinda felt robbed....all I ever heard was how great the birth process was....and it didn't feel like that to me....

Until I saw my daughter.

When she came out....and they placed her on my wife...when they handed her to me....never has something so light (7.5 pds) felt so heavy....and yet so pure....

I was so humbled to be in her presence....that I literally wanted to crawl under a chair because I didn't feel worthy...it was so emotional....

and all I remember telling myself...with tears coming down my face....is that no one....no one.....deserves all the blessings.....no one deserves to be this lucky....

for I am blessed...

I wanted so long to be a father....I've dreamed of it for nine months....and now I just want to spend the rest of my life being her Dad.....it seems as if nothing else even matters anymore...

My promise to my daughter is this....I will be the man she needs me to be. I will show her what a man is supposed to be....so that she knows what to look for one day....I will teach her to pray...how to win and how to lose...but mostly...through my example I set by how I treat her....I will show her how to love unconditionally....

She was born at 9:46 pm....she was 19 inches and 7.5 pounds...

and it was love at first sight....

Wow, I'm sitting here (in the office mind you) and trying very hard not to cry. Such beautiful words. I'm sure your wife and your daughter know how lucky they are to have you. You are going to be such an amazing father! Your words just show how dedicated and thoughtful you are. Please never doubt your worthiness! Your daugther one day will tell you how happy she is to have you! May god bless you and your family.

Good evening,

I made it through a full shift at work tonight, I still feel well. We have Eggnog at my store already!!!! I took a picture of it and posted it to the Blossoms thread, I have never taken part of the Blossoms thread the 3 years I have been here, until now.

I have to head back to work bright and early.

Have a good night all!

Oh, mmmmm eggnog! I made the best eggnog ever last Christmas
I found the recipe in here! Can't wait to make it again! =)
Hope you have a good night!

This time difference sometimes drives me crazy. When majority of guys are going to sleep, I'm starting my day here. ^^

Anyway, good morning everyone!
I'm about to go to uni so I just popped in to wish all a nice day!

Hehe... Know what you mean! =)
Have a great day!!! =)

Good lunch time MMC Gang!

You can watch the Qvc online!
Glad you are feeling better!!! =)

Good Morning, Blossoming Friends!

Yes, in case you haven't heard, our annual photo thread is now up and running. Lots of great photos there already.
Check it out!

The count:
Days to the Season: 48
Days to Christmas Day: 90

Also, in case you also missed us yesterday, we passed yet another Milestone.
And just you wait until you see what our NEXT Milestone is.......
.....but we will put that off until tomorrow.
What with 'Pines Day, a new Milestone, the Blossoms thread opening and Ballcoach's new baby, we really had an exciting day yesterday.
Too soon to add to it just yet!

Our utterly fantastic weather continues with sunny days in the mid 70's and no rain. What a shock cold weather will be in the not too distant future!
Currently, we record 61 degrees here in the capital city.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone.
Weekend Eve again tomorrow, as impossibly soon as that may seem!

Good Thursday morning everyone! it's a cloudy rainy windy 47F so it's more like a late Fall early winter day feeling to me. We woke up at 3am to Jordan crying every time he swallows something he makes a bad face and then starts crying so he has a sore throat and he keeps holding his ear so the wife is going to take him to urgent care right now and her friend is coming over to stay with James. I have to get ready for work I just hope that Jordan is going to feel better soon. It breaks my heart when he looks at me when he holds his throat like I can take away the pain...I wish I could!! Welll I have to get ready for work. Have a great early Autumn day everyone!

 

[gabulldawg]

90 days to Christmas!!! What really has me excited is the 48 days until the season(my Christmas stuff going up)!!! so excited I may stop off at the coffee shop and get a pumpkin latte!

[Christmasstar]

Hello everyone! We got home so late last night from the movies that I had to go to bed right afterwards then I overslept then to top it off our servers were down all day at work so I could not log on here to see about the new arrival. I have not had a chance to catch up here either so I still don't know,so I will go back a catch up. Meanwhile the weather here is okay cloudy and coolish and wet 45F. Be back in a bit at I catch up here on this thread! Happy hump day everyone!

what a whirlwind time you have been having!
I am currently trying ot catch up here, this may take awhile! LOL

Have a great day

 

[Christmasstar]

Ugh ... a bad experience this evening updating my iPad to iOS 7. I think it's sorted out now. It failed a few times before it finally worked---I still don't know what kicked it into finally accepting the update. Thank heaven I backed it up to iCloud just before I attempted the update, 'cause I had to restore from the backup. After my apps reload, I'll have to check and see if I lost anything. I think my photos and contacts came back, but I may have to reload all my music. Bleh! I hate to waste an evening fighting with technology.

oh that sucks, hope it is all worked out now.
I had no problems, handed it to my daughter and she did it all, did not ask if she had any problems with it.

QVS is funny only when you are here sharing with everyone, otherwise it is just a sales show!
Glad to hear you are feeling better and congrats to your friend!
