Christmas Countdown - 2013

[jennifer91]

Hey, MMC! I missed you guys. I feel like it's been a while although it's only been a couple of days. The meteorologists were calling for an inch today and we ended up with five or six. What a nice Rudolph Day

How have you all been? I have been thinking of you all!

Today is my mom's 82nd birthday!!!!
Going out for lunch and some shopping.

Was going to catch up here but have to leave soon so will do it later.

Do not try to call me, turned off my phone so work cannot call me in again!

Have a great first Rudolf day of 2013!
Found these and thought they were perfect for today's festivities...

Awww.....Happy Birthday Star Mom !!!

I get it now! Oooo, I love my red pen! I must look for the T-shirt!

It's an ad agency term. "Traffic" is the person who coordinates the movement of the work between departments (e.g., account managers, creatives, designers, proofreading, studio, clients, printers, publications) and does his/her best to see that each job or phase of a job goes through each department on schedule. So in last night's case, she was there because the other departments were there working on a job, and she had to "ride herd" on it. Questions and concerns are channeled through traffic so that the various people involved in a job aren't constantly running back and forth between departments. For instance, if I have questions on something I've proofread (something I'm notorious for!), she resolves them through the account manager, writer, designer, etc. These days, some of this is done through a computerized system. My stuff is often handled manually, though, as there isn't an efficient way to digitally mark up layouts. The main tool of my trade is the (dreaded) red pen. (You'd love my "Don't Make Me Get Out My Red Pen!" t-shirt, with the apostrophe marked in red!)

Well, when you're in the trenches, you need the rations. I hope you got home at a decent hour. I got home around 10:15 and got about the same amount of sleep as usual, but I feel tired today.

That is way too late to get home from work .....:sad:

 

[caninemom3]

Thinking of you and Wish ... It's good to hear that Wish's quality of life is good, even if the numbers are saying otherwise. I hope that continues.

Thank you, Merry xoxo

I could have done that for FREE!!!

I won 100 million in the lottery and gave it all to Valerie to come decorate my apartment. Now I have empty wine bottles sitting everywhere.

 

[caninemom3]

I am going to have to go read them and do one myself! I love to write and, of course, as you well know, I always have a lot to say!!!

If you read any of my blogs, dont expect too much !!! xoxo

 

[Seawaters]

So funny, Snowflake!!!

Hahaha!! =]

Have you checked the basement?!

 

[Seawaters]

Great idea, CAH!!!

You should have bought 100 million dollars worth of batteries so your candle would never go out!!!

 

[Seawaters]

Are you stuck inside with time on your hands? I hear opera calling your name!!!

snowing here in SE VA,,,,

YABBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[caninemom3]

Looking forward to hearing from you xo

 

[caninemom3]

Good to see you Shellie !! Glad you are okay ! xo

 

[caninemom3]

LOL... That was funny but yet all so true.

I try to avoid DC and Baltimore City like they were both the plague! Both have high crime, high traffic, high murder rates (200+ a year typically), high costs, etc....

I used to live in La Plata, Maryland Eons ago !!

Good Morning!!

We got @ 2 inches of snow last night, and it's still flurry-ing

Is that even a word?!

It's very pretty, but the roads are slippery. Running errands today, can't wait to get home & walk Har in the snow =]

Hope you all are having a happy Friday & Rudolph Day so far!!!

Xo

Always lovely to see you !!! (((HUGS)))) to my little niece ! and puppy kisses from all her K-9 cousins xo

I have liked them all, too. When I read them, I didn't picture anyone like Tom Cruise! Did you?

No, I didn't picture Tom Cruise ~ I pictured someone rather a bit like the latest Bond, Daniel Craig.

Hey everyone! How are you all? I am well. So glad I am able to finally stop by and get caught up here a little bit.

Yesterday was my day off, so I don't go back to work until tonight at 11. DH is at work today, then he is working overtime tonight. The kids are at daycare and preschool, so it's just me here.

What's new and exciting? Nothing really new going on here. I've just been very busy, so like I said, nothing new! My kids are growing like weeds and I am loving them up every second. I have been doing some shopping for Valentine's Day and Easter for them already. Some of you may be laughing at me, but my kids still deserve something for these holidays well - in my eyes I think they do.

We're going to get more snow here today. It has been snow flurring on and off for the past 2 hours or so, but it is supposed to pick up here soon. We're supposed to get anywhere from 2-4 to 3-6 inches today to tonight. Oh boy!

Well, I am off to read some of the Countdown and make some lunch. I think I am going to do a grilled ham and cheese and chicken noodle soup.

Hope you're all enjoying your day and all doing well. I miss you all greatly. Praying for any of you who need my prayers and thinking about you all! God Bless and keep smiling! :yahoo:

Good to see you !!! xoxo

 

[caninemom3]

I'll think I'll join you.... As a matter a fact, I see a chocolate custard filled doughnut on the kitchen table with my name on it as well!!!!

Funny how those things sprout names AND voices isnt it ??

How special with your white Rudolph Day! It is funny but we had a foggy Rudolph Day. I asked the kids about the significance of the date. Then we talked about ..."then one foggy Christmas Eve..." We did some Christmasy stuff the whole day!!! One of the things we did was to work on a logic problem where the kids are given clues and have to figure out which character owns which reindeer and what the character's favorite drink is. The characters were Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, DePendent Claus, Mr. Frostbite Snowman, and Mrs. Frostbite Snowman. One of the clues was: Mrs. Claus does not like the fog and has a reindeer who is able to see through it. His nose glows just like a traffic signal. We had a lot of fun. The pages we did today were all educational, believe it or not!

Thanks! Nice to see you too! Are you getting all settled in your new home? I hope so! :smile:



I always thought it was the 25th of every month also! Regadless - I see no need to be "politically corrrect" - we celebrate every day just a little more so on the 25th of every month!!! :lol:




I hope your whole house is healed very quickly! There is some yucky stuff going around out there!

HAPPY RUDOLPH DAY!!! SO nice of Mother Nature to give me a white Rudolph Day!!! :
