Christmas Countdown - 2013

[jennifer91]

I just finished watching the hockey game and it was so disappointing. On top of losing, the game was very violent - one of the opposing team's players jumped one of ours. The guy threw ours to the ice and then punched him twice in the head. He had to be taken off of the ice on a stretcher! Sometimes hockey can be scary to watch....the injuries are terrible!

For a man, Meat and cheese....can never go wrong with that!

I don't believe there isn't a man out there that doesn't think with his stomach; am I right all you married ladies out there????? Here's an idea, that I got for my father-in-law last year and he was all over it:

Hope this may give you an idea or 2 for you~

When my wife and first started dating, I weighed 175lbs, nearly 15 years later, and married for almost 12 of them I now weigh 230. cheesy

His name is Zloty. It's actually a Polish currency but I think it sounds cute, and I don't know any other dogs under this name.

I don't think I have ever posted a picture of my dog, have I?

This is his latest picture which I took in September, the last time I was at home. It's not the best picture but he was very cheeky at that time so... ^^

Good evening! I hope that everyone had a relaxing Saturday. :]

I received an e-mail saying that I have been offered a position to volunteer at Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games this summer!

It was announced that all the offers will be sent out by the end of November. Once December begun, I stopped expecting for my offer. However, the actual e-mail came yesterday, so I was very surprised when I found it in my inbox. And very exciting too! The competition for voluntary positions was very fierce. There were around 65,000+ applicants overall, and 25,000 of them were invited for the interview. I attended mine in late July, and now there will be 15,000 volunteers. It is gonna be a HUGE sport event! I also found out that my Scottish friend is also going to volunteer, so I am happy about that too. I am actually quite proud of myself for leaving so many other applicants behind and becoming the one of those lucky 15,000 who will contribute towards organizing such a significant event!

I am sorry for quite a long post but my excitement is now over the top. ^^

Anyway, I will try to go to sleep because it is nearly midnight here.

Best wishes to all!

Congratulations!!!

It seems like I'm hardly ever alone lately. I had to hide in my bedroom when I called in!

Hello friends-
Just wanted to touch base. It's been a wild ride around here since my husband's shoulder surgery. He had a severe neck spasm during the night and I ended up driving him to the emergency room at 6 this morning. He is still in a lot of pain, but heavily medicated. Soooo, I'm trying to keep the Christmas spirit alive, but it's been a bit dicey as of late. Anyway, I hope you are all having a wonderful time in your own preparations! Thinking of you all at this exciting time in our journey to Christmas!

You both are in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry your husband is still in a lot of pain, I will keep him in my prayers.

Thanks, Xmas!! How have you been?

Surviving, we have been very busy the last month. Thanks for asking.

This was a few years ago, "Ophelia tree, Ophelia tree..."

I use to have a cat that did the same thing. She would jump right in that tree before we even had it decorated.

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Thanks, HMG! How was your day?

My day went well, thank you for asking! I was able to do more Christmas shopping. I really want to finish, I will will probably head back to the mall tomorrow!

Good evening,

I am all caught up now, I can't figure out why a Christmas website is so busy in December. cheesy

Busy day today, day off tomorrow. I only have 5 more days off until Christmas.

Just relaxing watching The Santa Clause 3, everyone else is asleep. My wife fell asleep before the boys did and they went to bed at 8pm.

I am tired so I will be heading to bed soon, I hope to get the big tree decorated tomorrow.

Good night, everyone!!!!

Good evening!
I was able to go to the mall again today. I would like to finish my shopping over the next couple of days. The problem is every time I cross something off the list, I add something else on it. I need to stop doing that.
My daughter went to the city today with her friends and had a good time. I asked her to send me some pictures but she told me her phone died. So when she got home I asked to see pictures of the Rockefeller Center tree. She took a ton of pictures but they were all selfies with the tree in the background! Ridiculous facial expressions and all.
We still don't have our tree up yet. My husband was too busy, he was on a job all day. Maybe tomorrow. I gave up on decorating this year but we have to at least have a tree up!

Well I feel a whole lot better about having my santa collection on display after watching TLC tonight. I have a long way to go to rival those people.

I'll see you all tomorrow for the WLCP!!!!!! I'll try to get caught up then too.

Goodnight, Everyone!!!!!!!!

Greetings friends, can't believe it's already Sunday. The days are really starting to fly. Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Good afternoon, Christmas family!

It is freezing here!!! I ended up not working today as the furnace was acting up last night and I thought a repairman might have to be called in this morning. My brother checked it over, found nothing amiss so I have had it running for hours now. No scary sounds or weird smells like there was last night, so all seems good. I was a bit worried last night over it - so much so that I dreamed about tornadoes. This time not only did I see them (3) the building I was in was spinning around inside of one. Odd, that! Normally I dream tornadoes are coming or I see them way off in the distance. I think I need to do something Christmassy and soon!!!!

Be safe and MERRY!!!!

Glad that all is ok!

And that you're warm & safe!!

Sweet dreams tonight
