Christmas Countdown - 2014

[HomemakinGirl]

Alright everyone, I have to go in to work tonight at 10, so I am going to try to lay down for a nap, since I've been up since lunch.

I hope you all have a wonderful evening and day tomorrow. Talk to you all tomorrow. God bless and keep smiling!

I hope you sleep well and have a good night!

started work on a cake for a friend. It is march before needed but this one is going to have a lot of flowers on it and since sugar flowers will last years once dry I thought I would just make a bit at a time and save the rush of last minute decorations. Plus this party is going to be at a very expensive and classy place so I want to show off! Is that wrong?

I think it's a great idea to get a head start on the flowers. I'm sure the cake is going to be amazing, they always are!

Hi everyone!

Virginia, It got to 44C yesterday and today is going to be a whopping 46C. Adelaide’s record temperature is 46.1C dating all the way back to 1939. So could be in for a new record. Finally got maintenance to fix the air-conditioning at the office but now we’re being told there may be power outages, just my luck.

Only one more day till the weekend. Yay!

Sorry I wasn’t on here yesterday and haven’t been able to go through all the posts. Been very busy!

I hope you’re all keeping well. Take care all!

Praying things cool off for you and that there are no power outages!

Well it's that time again. I have to go with mom to the Neuro to get the results of her heart monitor test in the morning. So I may not be around until lunch time and I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Goodnight, Everyone!!!

How was the end of your book? Hope it was one that you liked! I'm always disappointed if the end doesn't meet my expectations.

Aww, Palmer is just so sweet!!

Har & I are doing pretty good. Adrian is miserable He is really sick, kind of came on from out of nowhere.

Thanks for asking!

The book was very good - a murder mystery set in an English tea museum. I did not figure out who the killer was which made it all the better! Currently I am about half way through book two of the series. Praying that you and Adrian are better! {{{HUGS}}}

Shipoopi? Shipoopi... Shipoopi... Shipoopi... I'll have to look that up. It might be by new favourite word!!

It is a fun word!

Hey snowflake! Buster is just ok! Thanks for asking & thanks for keeping him in your prayers! Sometimes I think maybe I should just make the dreaded appointment (but I can't!!) & then the next day I have to chase him home from the neighbors! Some days he does a lot of walking in circles & the next day (or sometimes just after a nap) he seems fine. He doesn't act like he's in pain. He's still eating great. He sleeps a lot! He's just so old! I'm not sure how much longer he will be with us. Maybe a day? 2 weeks? 6 months? Who would have thought he would lived to be (almost) 18?? 'O Buster!
We are pretty seriously looking at getting a puppy though. It gives me butterflies wondering if Buster will be ok with it. The puppy will be in a cage during the day while we are at work, so Buster will still have the run of the house & the puppy won't bother him. We will be getting a Soft Coated Wheaten & they are hard to find around here. There is a pup available now (3 hours from here) that is already 4 months old - so that makes me a little nervous - they haven't worked with her on potty training at all, but they said she is socialized with other dogs & humans & she is current on all vaccinations. I'm not sure if I want to miss the 1st couple months of their puppy cuteness, but at the same time, she might train easier being older, etc. I just want to be sure she was socialized properly b/c she will be around a lot of other dogs & people! This same place also has 5 more pups that will be available 2/20/14. There is also a place 4 hours from here that has 2 females available in 2 weeks. AND a male & a female were just put on puppy finder, only 45 minutes from us, but they are CKC registered, not AKC. I really don't care if they are AKC, CKC - we just want to make sure they are pure bread b/c we don't want another dog that sheds. They will be available late February/early March. Ohhhh, decisions!!!

Geesh, I wrote a novel!

Good to see you, Holiday! I'm glad Buster is doing well - will keep praying for him. I hope you are able to get your new puppy soon. Is it getting cold out your way again? If so, stay warm and safe! Have a MERRY rest-of-the-week!

Good Morning All!!

Well I finally got to do some catching up this morning in Flagstaff, AZ. We stopped here for the night and will head on to Phoenix in a bit. Bud has a 2pm show there. Then we move on to Tucson and will stay there for the weekend.

It's neen a strange adventure. Coming through north Texas, somewhere west of Abilene, our brand new car with just the mileage from our trip plus the 28 existing when we bought it, started acting squirrelly. Transmission sounding like it's getting stuck in third gear and revving really high. The timing sounds strange too. I switched to manual so I could physically shift gears and that was no better.

The car is supposed to average at 38 to 40 miles per gallon which it was when we started and we're getting 20, sometimes not even that. That's on open flat roads with the cruise control set on 55.

Coming through New Mexico something hit our windshield, we're guessing a rock but there was no one else around, but hit hard enough to break the windshield.

About :20 minutes after the rock we experienced our first sand storm. This looked like something off The Mummy with Brandon Frasier. ROFL I kept waiting to see the face appear in the sand against the setting sun. So covered in dust both inside and out, we persevered on to Blanca, CO. It's a tiny mountain town.

Coming up around the mountain about 9pm, blizzard. Yeah, not kidding... blizzard. We were very happy at that moment that we bought a car with all wheel drive. So we left Texas that morning at 30 degrees, drove through 80 degrees and arrived to step out of the vehicle arpund 10:30pm to -18. ROFL

And no, mountain people don't cancel school for it. Got up the next morning to do his show at 8:45. LOL

Been all through southern Colorado, all across northern New Mexico and from north to south in Arizona. It has been beautiful and I get to see it all with Bud so that's awesome! Literally. LOL

We'll be heading to a local service center/dealership in Tucson to make them fix our car or swap for another before we both snap. I called the dealership where we bought it in our hometown and have left messages. No one has bothered to call us back. GRRRR!!!

It remains to be seen how I'll be getting back. I was supposed to ride back with a friend who was picking me up in Phoenix on her drive from California back to Florida. That was the plan since early December. Yesterday she calls to tell me she doesn't think she can do it. Info that would have been useful to me a week ago. And yes she'd been reconsidering since New Years. Priced airline tickets last night. *sigh* Buying a ticket with less than 7 days before the flight leaves me with few options. Still trying to get something workable. I have to... absolutely MUST be back by Wednesday night at the latest.

Wow, that is some adventure you are having! Praying for continued safe travel for you both and a convenient way back home for you! Beautiful pictures - thank you for sharing!!!

 

[Meceka]

Thank you.
The doctor said Maggie's heart looks fine. There are definitely signs of the airway disease though. We will have to fiddle with the medicine and hopefully figure out what will help her to be more comfortable.

I'm so glad Maggie's heart looks fine! Praying that the correct meds/dosage will be figured out soon!

Good Afternoon MMC!!!!! It's been snowing like crazy here!!! It was like a whiteout at some points on our way to mom's doctors appointments. They actually had to close down the interstate because there was so many wrecks on it. It looks like one more heavy band and then we should be done with this clipper though. There is more to come though. We'll have about 3 inches today and then we are supposed to get another 1 to 2 inches tomorrow and then 3 to 5 on saturday. Crazy!!! Mom's appointment went well though. The heart monitor came back fine. The doctor still wants her to do a sleep study but her insurance won't pay for it at the hospital. So they are going to try and get her approved for a home sleep study through their office. She has also been complaining about being more forgetful, so they are going to do an EEG next tuesday along with a few blood tests. Now I'm off to get some stuff done around here. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

I'm so glad the heart monitor results were fine - will keep your mom in my prayers!

I'm watching the news and if the weatherman says more snow and arctic air one more time,
I may need a new tv!!!! LOL!!!!!


Are we really only half way through winter?

Same forecast here. Stay warm and safe!

Good evening, MMC!

My name is Meceka and I am a "Downton Abbey" addict. Seriously. I. Am. Last evening I walked by the entertainment center, saw the DVD for season 2 and decided I had time to watch the first episode. 4 episodes later it is 1 in the morning. :lol: I haven't had supper yet so I am going to go get a bowl of Greek yogurt and relax a bit.

MERRY dreams!!!

Glad you had such a fun & relaxing night!
