Christmas Countdown - 2014

[HomemakinGirl]

'Pines Day at last! Seems like it should be later in the week. Yesterday seemed long because I was bullied by the office HVAC vent again. The fan came on yesterday about mid-morning and blew for six hours straight. I could feel the air constantly stirring on my face, hands and hair and couldn't get away from it. Kinda like the "Chinese water torture."

We had some black ice out our way, too. I slipped around walking to the car this morning, and yesterday's rain was frozen all over it. But the roads were salted, so I had a safe drive in.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

That fan would drive me crazy, I hope you're more comfortable today.
Stay safe on that ice!

Praying that all results are good!

Hope all goes well with your oldest daughter's car~

Have a wonderful day, HmG!!

xx

Thank you Snowflake!
The car is all finished. They did an inspection, an oil change and rotated the tires. Thankfully they were quick, we didn't have to wait long.

Still working on the house. The concrete for the foundation has cured, and the patio room foundation will be poured on Friday. The kitchen will be 30' by 32', so I should be able to move around a lot better than I do now, LOL! I am so jealous of everyone's snow, but that's what I say every year. I just wish we would get one good snow storm every year so I could make snowcream and play in the snow. I will be checking in when I can. TTFN

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Sleep well and I hope you have a wonderful day too!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I went to the meeting at the county commissioner's hall last night, and it was not too bad. I thought it would be a fight over who controls the fire department, since that's been the hot topic lately. Instead, we discussed ways to attract more industry to the area, in an effort to get more young folks interested in staying in our county. Not too bad!

Elizabeth found out that she and her best friend were among the 12 dancers selected for participation in the Spring production of The Music Man! There were dozens of dancers trying out, and we were trying to make sure she didn't get her hopes too high. It turns out, we should have had more faith in her abilities. She is so happy, and I'm so proud!

I hope y'all have a great day, and Happy 'Pines Day! cheesy

I'm glad the meeting went well and congratulations to Elizabeth, that is so exciting!

Good Morning MMC!!!!! It's a chilly morning here in central Indy where the high today is only going to get into the low 30's. The weathermen was also wrong last night when they said no snow. When I woke up this morning, there was a nice coating on everything and it's still coming down. Plus they are saying another 2 inches tomorrow and another 2 inches Friday. More cleaning and organizing for me today. Oh the fun!! I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a busy day, I hope you find some time to relax.
Enjoy the snow, be careful out there!

Good morning,

It is my least favorite day of the week, I really don't want to go in to work.
I think I am starting to come down with something, I feel that telltale sign of a scratchy throat, pressure in my sinuses. This is always fun while working in the cold.

Just relaxing before heading in, I already made my dinner for tonight so i can relax just a little bit longer.

I hope everyone is enjoying their Wednesday.

I hope you feel better Xmas!
I hope work goes by quickly for you!

Hello, everyone! It's another happy Wednesday here at the office. It's so foggy outside that the patients are coming in late. That's the only thing interesting here today, otherwise it's just a typical work day.

Good afternoon MerryBells, I hope you're having a great day!

Happy Pines day everyone. I have vent if I may...

Yesterday ended bad, carried over to today, and I'm in a bad mood. We all have these days though. Carl and my favorite friends can cheer me up though!

Hope everyone's day is good. I have three day weekend coming up at least!

I'm sorry you're having a rough day Ryan, I hope work goes by quickly.
Yay for three day weekends!

Your kitchen is going to be amazing, I can't wait to see pictures! I'm glad everything is moving along and going well!

Yup, you sure are right about that one.... It seems like every time I turn around, there's ice, snow, sleet, freezing rain and oh get this one, this morning, it was freezing fog...I kid you not! It was foggy, and the temperature of the roads where I live were just at that point where it made black ice. The salt trucks were already out and about at 5:00am and thankfully, they already hit the back roads where I live. My driveway was a sheet of ice though.

I got the appraisal for the accident yesterday; 3,000.00 dollars!!!! ouch. There's not much I can do about it either, the truck has to get fixed, I'm in the process of trying to get them to go with after market parts in lieu of Ford parts, in order to try to reduce the costs somewhat...We'll see what happens!

I hope you can get the costs reduced. Is the truck usable at the moment? I was wondering, with the roads the way they are, maybe waiting to do the repairs is an option until the weather improves.

Good Morning, Friends of the Holidays!


Well, believe it or not, the day after tomorrow will see us to our first Milestone of 2014, the 300-day Season window, to be succeeded immediately by the start of a 200's level count sequence.
(Can the 100's really be that far behind?)

Days to the Season: 302
Days to Christmas Day: 344

It was continued cool yesterday but really not bad for January. Dry too after a rainy morning.
Today should be nice.
We stand just under 36 degrees here at this hour.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Fellow Travelers on the good ship MMC!

And you may wish to stop in at the 'Pines this evening. Carl has a fund raiser under way but suspiciously, he hasn't said what funds are being raised for.
Anyway it's being called "I'd walk a mile with a camel".
(Well, I don't know about you but my curiosity has been raised, even though it may just be a scam to raise money for one of Carl's coffee experiments.)

YUMMMMM! Coffee!! I'd contribute!!

Good afternoon everyone!

It's been ages since I my last visit. My computer at home (I mean in Lithuania) operates incredibly slowly (it needs to be fixed) and it takes me ages to use Internet or post in forums and, well, I am not patient that much to wait for half an hour to get my browser opened and my post posted. ^^ Anyway, I am now back in Scotland and back to my laptop. ^^

Home was nice. I managed to see some of my friends, my cousins and spend some time with family. :] I have started new semester at the uni today so I am back on track!

I hope that everyone is well and doing fine. I hope that this year will be much better and more successful than previous year for everyone of you.

Best wishes!

Hi Victoria. Lovely to hear from you. Glad you're back online but you must miss your family in Lithuania. Enjoy uni.

:hi:Good afternoon/evening everyone...Hows everyone getting on today..Its wednesday already,The weekend is getting closer:hi:

 

[Virginia]

You know what we need to drive in, especially with all the freezing weather that we have been having, these kind of tires....

Oh baby, it's like Mad Max gone Polar Express.....:lol:

This got me wondering about what sort of tyres you all have for the bad weather. In movies they put on snow chains.

Oh come on, chick flicks are the best! .

I'll pass on chick flicks. I might manage a romcom but I prefer fantasy and some action.

 

[Virginia]

Oh I hope it heals quickly and that you're okay!

Thanks sugar. It's a lovely bright red on the whiteness of my inner arm. It's clean and hurts when I touch things but I'll put more aloe on through the day.
