Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Meceka]

Good afternoon, MMC!

Hanging out with my cousin today. It has been sleeting out a bit - supposed to turn to all rain. Busy day and I have no idea where the time went. Oh well. It is good to have a break from the same old same old.

Be MERRY!

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Today is our 25th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately Hubby couldn't get off work tonight, so we will be celebrating over the weekend. It doesn't seem possible....it took so long to get from the engagement to the wedding, and then all of a sudden here we are at 25 years.

Happy Anniversary!!!!!

I've been away from here for over a week & I'm sure I've missed out on a lot. I was in a car wreck the Saturday before Thanksgiving. A guy ran his truck down the entire passenger side of my car, while I was sitting in the turn lane at a red light, minding my own business! DD & I were the only ones in the car & we're fine. It will take three weeks to get my car back, so my sister loaned me a vehicle so I could get back to work.

For a week I was just mad about the whole situation, and not in the mood for Thanksgiving or Christmas. By Thanksgiving morning I was getting over it. We had a good Thanksgiving weekend & I'm back in the Christmas spirit. I feel like it's moving so quickly though!

We are blessed that we're okay & the car can be repaired. I hope everyone else is doing well.

Merry Christmas!

So glad that you guys are okay!! That is a scary thing to go through.

Ahhhhh - I feel so out of the loop!! :roll:

Happy December! So hard to believe 3 weeks from today is CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!

I didn't get to read about everyones Thanksgiving. I hope you all had a wonderful day/weekend!! Ours was very nice & very busy! The turkey trot went off despite the cold! We were down to 15 walkers/runners - wimps! Ha ha ha!! ;-) Lunch at our house with the inlaws was very good. We missed supper at my sisters since my hubby's family was still over - but that was ok - we were stuffed! I did get to try my Dads turkey (he always makes the turkey) at my sisters, so Thanksgiving was complete! We did get to see all of my family too - we just didn't get to eat with them. My niece talked me into going to Walmart on Thursday night even though I said I was NOT shopping that night. I ended up with a new blu-ray player! Friday morning I picked up my friend & my niece & off we went on an all day shopping spree! We had a blast! I love Menards on black Friday! We got home from shopping, unloaded the back of the truck - which was full.... - picked up my hubby & we picked up another couple we run around with & off we went to the electronics store! Bought a new sound system for our house & a 50" screen tv for my FIL! The back of the truck was full again! Then we went to a wondeful Italian restaurant! Mmmm!

I'm still working on getting my Christmas decorations up & all the ornaments on the tree. I don't like being so far behind! Hopefully tonight I'll make more progress. I'm losing a lot of places to put my Christmas things, since the sound bar takes up space on the entertainent center- and my stereo cabinet & 2 speakers will be gone. Hmmmm.... Looks like I'll be buying a new table!! Oh darn!

Hope all is well with all of you & I am going to try to catch up a little around here!!!

Make it a great day!!!

:thumbsup:

Welcome back!!!! Sounds like you had a fun weekend!!!!

Good evening! I hope you all had a good day. I finished my last essay this semester today so yay for that. I'm going to re-read it any other day and hopefully submit it on Friday morning. I'm now getting ready to go to bed because it's going to be a long day tomorrow of computer-based work so I have to wake up earlier than usual. Have a relaxing evening everyone.

Good morning to one and all... Whew....we got thru another Monday...blahhhh...

I have been extremely busy and am now in full packing mode. I have inspections set up this week for septic and well on the new house and then next week will be the home, chimney, radon and termite/ pest inspections. The appraisal will take place as well this week. We got the moving vans (2 - 26 foot box vans) all setup with 6 guys to do all the lifting, loading and unloading. So, in essence. everything is moving along, hoping to keep the sanity; lol....

This week I'm planning to get another Christmas tree up and decorated, Christmas cards made up and sent out and also get some shopping done. Oh yes, I will then have to take the tree back down the day after Christmas, but hey, I'm determined to have the tree decorated in both houses...(my wife doesn't know that, but that's my plan - it's a surprise!) Yup it's a lot to do, but I can do it without a mess...ha-ha-ha!

If I am not here as often in the next several weeks, it's just because I am busy, busy, busy moving and getting ready to move....Talk to you later, hope you all have a good day~

the joys of moving! Sounds like you have everything under control. Praying your move goes smoothly and you have a great Christmas!

Good morning!
I need to get moving. So much to do today, lots of chores and errands. Now my youngest is home from school with a sore throat. I am bringing her to the doctor this morning. My middle one also has an appointment this afternoon to have her teeth cleaned. I really wanted to go shopping today. It doesn't look like it's going to happen. I feel like something comes up everyday that throws my day off. And the time is going by way too fast. Ugh!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

so wonderful to be so busy with your wonderful family! Don't worry, everything will get done on time, it always does. ((HUGS))

 

[Christmasstar]

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a rainy day here in central Indy with a high in the mid 40's. Then tomorrow it's going to be 60!!! Then 16 on Saturday!!! Talk about a wild swing. Not a whole lot going on today. Need to get a few more things done around the apartment and then I need to work on some projects that I need to get done here soon. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like our weather here, but then we are getting it from you!

 

[Christmasstar]

Home from work, supper is done and now I get to relax!

Just sent in my greeting for the Merry podcast and looking forward to hearing all of yours when it comes out this year.

Hope you are all having a great evening.

Just checking in to see what everyone is up to. I'm home sitting here doing Christmas cards to send out to family and friends while listening to some Perry Como Christmas Music...

Lisa is in full packing mode and I'm staying out of her way...(picture a bull in a china shop); there you go, there's the image...look out of the way!!!!LOL!!!

It's a quiet night here overall so it's a good time to get these Christmas cards started. Hope everyone has a nice night. Hmmmm maybe a slice of pumpkin pie might just top off the evening...:wink:

We are going to get the system Snowflake is dealing with tomorrow as rain. Then the big storm is going to hit us on Thursday night into Friday. It looks like it will start as ice and then 6 inches of snow.
