Christmas Countdown - 2014

[MerryCarey]

At least I wasn't the only one to have car trouble. John Schneider, Bo Duke form The Dukes of Hazzard, was in town (another story) and agreed to ride in the parade in a General Lee car that local guy owned. It overheated during the parade, so he had to finish it in a Jeep. LOL

:lol: At least you finished in your original car! He should have finished the parade in your car.

Good Sunday morning, my Christmas friends!

Well, yesterday's parade was...interesting.

I got up at 5am to cook chickens for the church BBQ plate fundraiser. I left there at 9:30, thinking I had plenty of time to get ready for the 11 o'clock parade. Then I found out the parade starts at 10 o'clock. I scrambled to find my brother, who unlocked his shop so I could get the '57 Chevy out, and flew over to the parade lineup.

We started driving, and after 2 blocks I RAN OUT OF GAS. Some folks helped me push the car out of the way so the rest of the parade could continue. So embarrassed. I called my brother-in-law. He came running down the sidewalk with a gas can! He had a 1/2 gallon. That got the car cranked, then I called my brother. He came running down the sidewalk with 2 gallons of gas. I pulled over again, put that gas in, then he rode the rest of the parade with me.

Goodness gracious. I started at the front of the parade with the other cities' mayors, and I ended up near the end of the parade...but I finished it!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

I'm glad you got to finish the parade, hope you still had fun!
Enjoy your day Brad!

Enjoy the visit with your parents <3

Btw, how did Maggie do last night?

Thank you Snowflake!
Maggie did pretty good last night. Still coughing off and on but definitely slept better. Her doctor said the new medication wasn't going to work over night so I'm still hoping she'll improve. I'll keep you posted!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! It's going to be another nice day here with a high in the mid 40's. It's a really chilly out there right now though. I have a few errands to run this morning and then it will be back home to watch the NASCAR race. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you are feeling better today.

Thank you, xmas ~ I am feeling much better!

Good evening,

I am feeling better tonight, last night I just couldn't get comfortable and the thought of food just repulsed me. I skipped my dinner and didn't eat anything until after 10 this morning. Now my wife is dealing with the same thing I had last night. I slept for about 9 hours last night, I feel like I could use about 9 more.

I ended up having a meeting with a different manager than I originally requested, bit I got a lot of stuff off my chest, and she says she is going to work with me and others to see what we can do to make things better. The meeting lasted for 40 minutes and I felt better after I talked with her.

Watching the Bruins game now, they just tied it up after being down by 2 a couple minutes ago. Whoops spoke too soon, Tampa just went back up by 1.

I have to go find something for dinner.

ttyl

I'm so glad you are feeling better ~ praying your wife will be better soon!

Praying that the manager you talked to will do what she said she would and work with you and the others to make things better ~ and it will be better!!!

Hope you had a great night, xmas, and an even better day today!!!

Well, well, well....long time no see...haven't posted since Thursday (Snow Day 4) and there was a Snow Day 5. It was kinda like a spring break, but it wasn't spring. I would say it was welcome, but after Wednesday I was pulling my hair out! But Bambina, Doc, and I spent three days together and Thursday and Friday it was Bamina and me....so it was good.

OK, so I'm starting it. I promised myself that I would be more on my game this year for Christmas. When we had the baby, everything kinda kept getting pushed back and back....gifts didn't get wrapped, lights didn't get up, gifts arriving on Chritmas Eve...we were a mess. BUT NO MORE! My promise is that I'm going to spend at least 30 minutes getting ready and organizing to-do lists, cards, recipes, etc. That will give me 16 hours of work time until the Season arrives, which is when I want to have everything done by. There will be so much more to plan for now with Bambina and her birthday being in September (another event in the Ber's...yes) so we have to start. It'll be here before we know it!

So I'm off! Christmas 2014 here we come!

Have fun with the Christmas planning, I hope you have a great day!

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone is well today and have some nice plans to finish up the week. :] It wasn't too late when I came back home last night - I believe it was half ten in the evening or so - but I felt pretty tired for some reason so I went straight to bed. I decided to walk around Glasgow instead of taking a bus so I did plenty of walking. ^^
Anyway, the orientation event was AMAZING! I can't really put that into words. There are still 3-4 training sessions coming up - one each month up until July so I believe there are still lots of things to learn before the Games kick off.
We got our uniforms revealed which looked SO nice! I can't wait to pick mine up along with accreditation pass. ^^ It is such an honour to be part of this historic even in Scotland. :] There are still 136 days to go but I can barely hold my excitement. *breathe*

I should probably make myself out of bed, do my laundry and continue working on the essay.

I wish you all a nice Sunday! :]

I'm so glad you had an amazing time at the training session ~ what a wonderful experience you are going to have over the coming months! Good luck with your essay! Have a great Sunday, Victoria!!!

 

[Meceka]

morning came way to early today!

Working at subway today, after this re training shift I will be working only Tuesdays and Thursdays there.

Hope you all enjoy your Sunday!

Have a great day, CS ~ enjoy the retraining!

Good Morning, Christmas family!!

It's going to be a beautiful day here~ it's currently 25 degrees, with a high of 40. Hope we make it there! Melt some snow before Tuesday when we are supposed to get more, lol.

For now, I plan to make some coffee & relax a bit. Ahh, love Sunday mornings at home!

I managed to take down all of my winter decorations this weekend, and put out a few spring things, and my regular lodge décor. It feels good to have that done.

What are your plans for the day?

I plane to spend a lot of time outside with Harlowe, do some cooking, and maybe read & watch a movie later.
Adrian is away on business.

Hope you all enjoy your day!!

xx

Your plans sound great, enjoy your day off!!!

Your perseverance in finishing the race shows what a great mayor you are ~ you get the job done! You have a good team backing you, too ~ a good family is a treasure! Have a great day, my friend!

Good morning, snowflake! It sounds like a lovely day you have planned ~ enjoy! I am taking things easy yet so it looks like my usual chores, but at a slower pace, and reading for most of the day. Have a great day, weather twin! {{{HUGS}}} for you and Harlowe!
