Good morning everyone! It's Friday and I am glad of that! I hope today is better than the rash of horrid days I have had here lately! The wind is blowing and it's kind of chilly and wet it's suppose to rain all day today and tomorrow so it will be the kind of weekend we will stay inside and watch tv all day or play games! Well I better start getting ready for work. Have a great day everyone!
Good Morning everyone. Hope you alll looking forward to a nice weekend that is coming up. So far been up since 2 am since the person that works 3rd shift had some vacation. so to help out me and the 2nd shift guy split the hours. So 4 OT hours but way to eary to be at work 330 am yawn yawn.
Good morning!
My father had his surgery yesterday. It kept getting delayed, they didn't take him in until the late afternoon. The doctor performed a bypass and it was a complete success! It was so nerve wracking the way they rushed him in to the city like that. I wish that he was closer so that I could just go run up and see him. But I am happy that he is in good hands there. Hopefully we will find out today how long they expect him to be there. I wanted to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, it means so much to me. You are all amazing. So very thoughtful, kind and caring. I'm lucky to be part of this forum!!!

Good Morning, Wonderfully Willing Weekend Eve Wonders Wanting Wassails Wonce Again.
<< "Wonce", Crown? >>
Well, hey. Anything for the sake of alliteration.
And for the sake of accuracy, the following is presented in its entirety:
Days to the Season: 194
Days to Christmas Day: 236
The half way marker to Christmas Season 2013 arrives on May 15.
So close now to SINGLE DIGITS to that all-important and coveted Milestone!
(Isn't this exciting?)
STILL chilly here this AM but at least it's finally dry.
When will the cold weather end? Today maybe, says the weather service. I'll believe it when I see (and feel) it.
Right now, we have a coolish 51 degrees here in the capital city.
Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends!
Enjoy your Weekend to the fullest.
(And with thoughts of Christmas dancing in your head, success is just about guaranteed!)

Good morning everyone!
Well. My final day at Health Canada has arrived. At 12:30 pm, I will be leaving work for a physiotherapy appointment. It will be the end of my final shift here. I've been in and out of the office since November 2011. Although it would be nice to come but, I'm really hoping to have something permanent before I can return here next year. We shall see! Onward and upward, as they say.
My dad arrives today. I'm excited. Again, he's driving from Sault Ste. Marie and should arrive around 3 pm. It should be a night filled with hockey watching. Who am I kidding? It will be a night and weekend filled with hockey watching! We'll see if he has any other plans when he arrives.
Hopefully I'll have time to enjoy the weather this weekend. Again, temperatures are to be in the mid 20s all weekend. And, of course, the sun will be shining, too. I love all the seasons, especially Winter, but it is truly a great feeling to finally have warm weather back in Ottawa.
Well, I hope you're all ready for the weekend. It's only a few hours away. Have a great Friday!

I´m so happy the bypass went well.....praying he will heal quickly and wishing all troubles away from Ya!!!!
yes, decorate, take pictures and share the joy
both my childhood houses are gone now, one to be replaced by a subdivision and the other was just plain old and neglected after we left and got demolished
praying for all those who are not well or having surgery
snow, summer temps, wind, rain...don't like the weather at your place, hop the plane and go visit someone else! LOL
Off again to do a few errands and then off to work!

Good Morning everyone!
They just played, Walking in a Winter Wonderland on the weather segment of the news! The weather has been wacky here. The other day was in the 80's then it dropped to the upper 30's yesterday, cloudy and still chilly this morning.
Yesterday I watched The Brady Bunch (yes, love that show still). It was the Christmas episode where Carol loses her voice due to laryngitis. I love when Cindy ask Santa to give her mom's voice back for Christmas so she can sing at church and he she would be able to sing. Her dad says, "Santa can't do that, he's not a doctor". Cindy says with a big smile, "He's better than a doctor, he's Santa Claus"! You go Cindy! I'm a dork, I know! Yep, I love that show! Ha ha!
With the cool weather that show came at a perfect time, it felt Christmasy. I then popped in a M*A*S*H DVD and watched a Christmas episode from that series.

I'm kinda of sentimental so that would be tough for me. My parents still live in the house we moved into when I was 6 (48 years ago). It is neat to go back there especially at Thanksgiving & Christmas.yes, decorate, take pictures and share the joy

Awww ... well, I'll find a copy somehow someday. I went Disney shopping on iTunes after I logged off last night and bought the newest soundtrack album of "Pinocchio," which includes lots more of the background score.
We've got quite a mix of music in our house, too. Everything from early rock, doo-wop, vintage country, vaudeville, Broadway and soundtrack albums, children's albums, theater organ, barbershop, choral music, a cappella, and plenty of Christmas music, of course---a little bit of everything---on cassettes, CDs, and MP3s as well as 45s, LPs, and even a few 78s. (Yes, we have a turntable! Actually, two.)
I wish I had a better photo of the Bible. It doesn't show the details very well ... it was much more beautiful in person. Ditto the Amish carriage. I took them with a snapshot camera in pre-digital days. But I can try my hand at scanning them to see what I can coax out of them.

Thanks for the update. So glad to hear that he's on the mend!
I think we all feel blessed to have found this forum as a special place to gather. I've seen a lot of kindness and caring, as well as laughter and joy, here. I'm so proud to be a part of it.
Good news on your dad, HomemakinGirl!

The Boston news station (radio) played a few bars of "Let It Snow" this morning while they were talking about the May snowstorms out west.
Hello everyone. I haven't been on much this week so I am way behind on posts. I hope you all are well!
I ended up not being at work yesterday as I called in sick. Wednesday night I was up until 4:00 am as I could not sleep. Turns out, I have a pinched nerve in my lower back! That thing hurts like a son of a gun! It has been shooting pain into the front of my left leg. Anyway, I'm sure it will be better soon and not anything big...be back to normal soon.
The doc has me on a steroid. He said it won't give me 'roid rage, but will make me hungry. So, my BBQ bender I have planned for this weekend may have just gotten even bigger.
Hope you all have a great Friday!
