Christmas Countdown - 2013

[snowflake22]

Morning! I only managed to read some of the posts but I've got to get back. I feel like time is moving to fast. I am not even looking at the countdown numbers anymore! We have a nice weekend planned. I'm off work and hubby's birthday tomorrow! Christmas movies marathon on Sunday I think !

Hope you all are having a wonderful day.

Snowflake , I hope that you recover very quickly , nothing worse than being sick around this time of year! You and everyone else are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, sweet friend!

Enjoy your weekend off and Happy Birthday to your hubby!!

Good morning, MMC~

Thank you for all of the thoughts & prayers.
I got a good night's sleep, so hopefully that will help.

I have my cold stash ready to take to work w/ all of the necessary supplies.

It is currently -3 degrees here....Brrr!

Poor Harlowe is having a tough time with the temps. The groomer cut her hair too short, and we're having troubles getting her to walk, etc. right now. Her paws trouble her pretty quickly.

What are your weekend plans?

Hope you all have a wonderful, Christmassy day!

good evening,

it has been a long day here, never take 2 kids christmas shopping with you if you want to stay sane.

lol

I will pass along to my sister that she has many birthday wishes coming her way from MMC! :-D
Last year about this time I bought her a big wine glass that says "50" on it & around the 50 it says "It's Only One More" - then there is a small card attached that says:
"It's Only One More"
"One more day to enjoy, One more year to achieve goal,
One more candle to blow out!"

I gave it to her yesterday & she said she brought the glass with her - said she was bringing it to the winery for wine tasting. HA!

I sure hope to make it to Indiana tomorrow to visit Made! We already have snow on the ground. It's coming down pretty fast! We'll see!!!! It will have to be really nasty to hold us back, but we'll be smart about it - not worth risking lives! We can always have wine, watch movies & do some online shopping & watch it snow from home. That would be a 1st time in 26 years that weather kept us from shopping though! LOL!

my daughter gave me a wine glass that says "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" on one side, and the other says "But if we're all out of white, I'll have red"
Hope you had a safe trip!

Boo to rain - you need some snow! What did you bake today? LOL! I hope your hair turned out to your liking!

the only thing I managed to get made was some fudge, used a new recipe, it is not to bad, should have stuck to my old recipe. Oh well, it is still chocolate!

Glad you slept well buddy but I was really hoping that you would feel better this morning. I'll keep praying for you.

Poor Harlowe!! I don't blame her for not wanting to walk in that kind of weather!!!! Give her a hug for me!!

My weekend plans involve trying to stay warm!!! So I'll probably do some baking.

Oh boy...keep it pretty snow, not nasty snow so we can come visit tomorrow!!!!

Well it's a pretty snow here in central Indy but south of us it looks ugly.

A Nativity Scene was erected in a church yard. During the night, someone came across this. An abandoned dog was looking for a comfortable, protected place to sleep. He chose baby Jesus as his comfort. No one had the heart to send him away so he was there all night. We should all have the good sense of this dog and curl up in Jesus' lap from time to time. This is too sweet not to share. No one mentioned that the dog breed is a "shepherd!" FYI: THIS POOCH WAS RESCUED BY A CHURCH MEMBER

Bless his heart, the little fella just wanted to feel safe for while. I'm so glad someone took him in.

Hi, everyone! I am finally caught up - on today at least! You are all in my thoughts and prayers, even though I haven't found much time to post lately. I finished my last assignment for school yesterday so now I have all of the free time in the world, for the most part!

I was trying to reply for literally an hour and a half and it kept redirecting me to another page. I could not figure out what the problem was until I accidentally only pasted in part of my post when I went to try again. Then I realized that there were three greater than symbols in a row somewhere and that was the cause of the problem. Weird, huh? Took them out and the post went through just fine!

It is very late so I am going to go brush my teeth and get ready for bed. We are supposed to get some terrible weather overnight and tomorrow. The news channels are saying that it is going to be extremely icy and bad out for the morning rush here. If you can please pray for my dad and brother - my dad is on the road all day long and my brother has a long commute to work. Luckily my mom and I ran our errands today so we can stay at home and relax!

Good night, everyone!!!

Keeping your dad and brother in my prayers.

Ok guys, I am having a terrible decision to make here. My hubby (and I) have been wanting a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier for quite awhile. I always said I wouldn't get one until Buster is no longer with us. I just don't want to do that to him. He is almost 18 years old & to bring in a crazy pup, I'm just not sure. BUT Soft Coated Wheatens are hard to come by around here. The place we would probably get one from is 3+ hours from here & they have 1 female left from the last litter. The owner is hoping for another litter in 4-5 weeks, which would mean they would be available sometime in March. Buster is doing ok. He's just old - his back end/hips are starting to wear out & I hate it & I don't know how much longer he will be with us! Hopefully for awhile yet, but no guarantee's - he's 18!! Anyway - I thought about buying this pup, taking a day off work to go get it, (without the hubby's knowledge) & having it here when my hubby gets home from work (which his work has been grueling the last few weeks & I know it would put a big smile on his face!!) - I have no doubt that he would be SO excited & then his next look/question is going to be "2 dogs? really???" :lol: One advantage to getting it now is that hopefully it will be trained - or close to being trained before we start remodeling our house in late spring/early summer. 2 disadvantages are - I don't know what this would do to Buster & if the pup gets attached to Buster & then he passes on....we have a sad pup! Right now I am "babysitting" for my friends dog while they are on a cruise & my sisters dog (the birthday girl who is at the Biltmore) & he is OK with them being here. But they are both older dogs, so they are not crazy!! He doesn't love it that they are here, but he doesn't make much of it. So ???? Animal lovers - chime in with your thoughts/ideas please!

Here is a pic of the Wheaten that is available yet:

You are the 1st people that I have told that I am even thinking about this!!! Lol!

That being said - I probably won't be back on until Sunday or hopefully Monday at the latest, so you all have a WONDERFUL CHRISTMASSY weekend!!!

Christmas is a he'd time to start training a puppy, things tend to be a tad busy.
My brother has an old dog too when they got a puppy and they are doing well. At first Charlotte was annoyed and would give that " really! You brought me a hyper baby ?" Look but they get along fine, hank says the puppy is actually learning from the older dog. Here us a recent picture of them

(They have a heated floor and the dogs love it!)
So it does work fine .
But if it was me, I would wait till after ,
Christmas so I could give my full attention to the new arrival.

I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning HMG! I know that panicky feeling all to well! I hope that you are having success with your shopping and prep.

Thank you Sam! I'm making progress, hope you are too :-D

Prayers, please, for a young mother who is a custodian at my school. She has stage 4 breast cancer that is now showing up in her bones. So sad for her two young sons.

Bless her heart. I'm praying for her whole family.

Hello friends. I'm snowed in, or I should say iced in, at a hotel. Busy day but safe in my room. Hope y'all are doing great.

Stay safe, my friend!

The snow is coming down pretty good now!!

No fair! My yard is turning green again!

I'm a sucker for puppies. That's why I can't visit breeders. We got Lulu before my best friend, Ben (a black Labrador), had passed and I felt guilty for a while. But they got along good. I say go get that baby!

Morning everybody!! See how a dog gets me back into the countdown??!!!

Quick! We need more pictures of puppies to get Maureen to stay with us!

I'm sorry Harlowe is having a hard time with the temperature, that is too cold! The poor baby. Sending hugs and prayers for Harlowe!
