Afternoon all! Just popping by before getting ready for work! been uniform shopping for my youngest daughter who starts nursery this week! its only 3 hours a day but im really going to miss having her at home! will be strange having a couple of hours to myself hehe!!

Thanks!

As long as I stay away from people making me laugh I might be okay! Wayne is always doing something silly and my son, dad and daughter are not much help either! That also goes for everyone at work and on MMC! =)
It's still good to laugh but in all seriousness, I am a little concerned. I have been hurting for a week now and it's not getting any better!

so go to the doctor already! I cannot stand to see people in pain.

Good morning everyone!

Not much new hear. Another busy week! Had a great lunch at the in-laws. They made a nice home made soup. I had 3 bowls! It was very good. Also had garlic bread with garlic butter. My friends are complaining, but I have already started the 2013 Christmas countdown! Hey, if it makes you happy! And it does! Just enjoying a coffee and watching some tv. Going to do some cleaning soon. Have a Merry day everyone!

Good morning everyone!

I've returned to work full-time. My contract arrived late last week and I came in on Friday. But, this will be my first work week of the year. I'm sure lots of others are sharing a similar experience, although you may have known that you were returning to work!

Along my cold walk to work, there are still a few local shops that have their Christmas displays. It makes me smile and long for the Christmas yet to come. Thankfully, this countdown will keep me in check, once again! Speaking of "cold" walk. It was freezing this morning. The wind was a little brisk, which made my face almost freeze. I like cold weather, but it seemed to hit me pretty good this morning. -20c (-25c with windchill) or -4f (-13f with windchill). Yep. January is certainly the coldest month of the year!

I didn't do a whole lot this weekend. Kim and I were able to remain inside both Friday and Saturday nights. It was great to save money. Of course, we watched the Packers defeat the Vikings on Saturday night, which was great. I was a little worried - as I am with every game, especially those of the playoff variety - but they came through. Next Saturday, I will be sitting in the same place and reliving similar emotions when they take on the 49ers.

After following the lockout for several months, I was very excited to see that the NHL and NHLPA agreed to a new CBA early Sunday morning. Kim and I had suspicions while following the talks on twitter Saturday night. And, it was great to awake to the news!

Well, I hope everyone has a great Monday. It's the first full work week of 2013. Only 50 more until we reach Christmas!

Wayne has his computer shut down but it still shows he is here on the Countdown!

Tell him it's proof that he's a definite presence here on the Countdown!

Some members log out each time they leave MMC, others don't---could it be that he hasn't logged out since his last visit to the Countdown?

 

[MerryCarey]

Nothing to report here ... it's just Monday.

Have the best one you can!

Welcome Back!!! Sorry to hear that you were sick over christmas. I hope you are feeling better now.

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

LOL! I can't believe we like the same teams. I always thought I liked such a weird combination. We can root for them together!

I do occasionally watch Nascar. My neighbors are addicted and I used to always go over their house so they got me hooked. I like Johnson, Gordon, and Earnhardt Jr. I remember playing all of the racing video games back in the day!

I was so hooked on NASCAR for many years and attended all the races here at Texas Motor Speedway. I am a Jeff Gordon fan as well. I just don't follow it anymore. I work every Sunday anyway so I have no way to watch it. I know they have some night races and Saturday too but I just don't keep up with it.

I hope you had a night of rest, CAH xoxo Praying for you xo

Thanks!

Good Morning MMC!!! Guess what? It's cold!!! You would think it's winter or something. At least we are still looking at the high 50's by the end of the week. Of course it's also going to be raining but at least it won't be a freezing rain I guess. Not much going on here today. I'm thinking about about calling Comcast to yell at them. My cable went off last night about 11 and didn't come back on until sometime after 1am. So I missed the last hour of Christmas music on Music Choice. I wasn't very happy with them. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for saying that! =)

Some members log out each time they leave MMC, others don't---could it be that he hasn't logged out since his last visit to the Countdown?

I think he keeps it where he stays signed in but I just thought when you close the page it would not show you still online. I keep it that way sometimes and sometimes I log out. I didn't think about that but makes sense!

Nothing to report here ... it's just Monday. =)

Have the best one you can!

Yep, sure is!

Good to see you! I know what you mean about missing your little ones when they start school. I was always the same way with my kids when they were little. In fact that lyric from, "It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas" where it says, "and mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again"? Nope, not me, not at all!!! I loved every single second of my kids being out of school for the holidays and summer break as well. I dreaded when they had to return back to school. We always had so much fun when they were home!!!

I also remember how parents got all emotional sending their kids off to school for the first time and I didn't quite get it but I never criticized them for it, I just didn't get it. My daughter, who is the oldest started kindergarten and I was actually okay with it, I still had my son home and very busy with him. With him being the youngest, he started kindergarten and I was just fine all the way to school. We dropped him off and I started crying! It just seem to come out of nowhere. He looked at me and said, "Mom, you can go now, I'm okay". lol..

 

[Christmasstar]

Well, it's officially over. The kids are coming back tomorrow and it's going to be fun getting 250 kids the routine, again. No biggie...we will get them in shape in no time...

Big night tomorrow night for football fans...I'm excited. Pizza and the National Championship...gonna be a good night.

Friends, sleep tight. I will see you in the morning...

the kids are back in school here today too, the neighbourhood will be quiet during the day again. :razz:

 

[Seawaters]

How did you do during the night, CAH? Hoping you have a pain-free day. Get those ribs checked!!! And that's an order from the teacher!

I better get some rest. I need a prayer to stay out of pain so I can sleep a full night tonight!

Goodnight Christmas Friends!!!
