Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Ryan]

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

This is earlier than my regular posting time, but Nancy and I are going to Savannah this morning, and I'll be all day. I thought I'd drop a quick note before we go. She's having a few tests today at the doctor's office, and they said to plan to stay a while. I don't think it's anything to really worry about, but I'd appreciate some prayers and kind thoughts for her.

In the meantime, I'm going to have another cup of coffee and a few more reduced-fat Oreos before we go.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Praying!

I had a dream this weekend I have to tell y’all about! I can dream some strange things, as we all can. But, I dreamed I ran a Christmas themed lodge (not really a hotel, as it didn't seem to be open to the public). But it was a large open space decorated to look like a village in the nighttime (dimly lit, stars on the ceiling, Victorian type street lights scattered about, of course Christmas trees, and other decorations). The rooms to sleep in were little brick buildings scattered about that looked like cozy little cottages. Oh, and there was a pool that was in a separate room that had several Christmas trees around it, and a really cool fake ice display with glaciers making it look like a North Pole themed pool. It was awesome!
Best part… some of y’all were there, and it was so much fun! J Don’t know why I had this dream but maybe it was my mind’s visualization of what the Pines would look like or maybe just my mind’s “happy place.” Sadly, Carl was not there. :lol: It was great though and I wish I could dream it again. It’s funny how a dream can seem so real when you’re having it. I know, I’m weird…but what a dream! If I had millions, I’d make it a reality.
:smile:

Sounds like a great dream!!!!

Sunny-side up or scrambled? cheesy

I prefer Scrambled but these were hard boiled.

Good morning friends. I'm off for MLK day, and am going to enjoy it! The kids will be in school so I'm heading to the movies later. Have a great day everyone.

Enjoy your day off, friend~

Have fun at the movies!! What are you going to see? :grin:

 

[made582]

I think I need to lay off Carl's polar vortexes before bed!

LOL!!!!! Yeah, they will cause you to have some pretty crazy dreams.

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Sorry, girl =[

Praying for you both! Sending get well hugs!!

xx

HMG and Xmas- Praying both of you feel better soon.

Thanks guys!
I couldn't log back on again to wish everyone a good night, but I see I wasn't the only one having a problem!

That is a cool dream, I would love to meet all of you, that would be one of the best Christmas gifts ever.

Yes it would be!!

Thanks sugar! Decision made!!!! We own 1/2 (down payment) of a soft coated wheaten terrier. HA! We can pick her up Feb. 25'ish. Sooooo excited!! I really hope Buster will hang around & be ok being a 2 dog family! Today is a good day for him - yesterday was not so good! Poor guy!

We have not agreed on a name yet - suggestions welcome! In the running are Lucy, Gracie, Sophie, Scarlett.
Less likely but still in the running Stella, Bella.
I have grown fond of Gladys "Gladdie" - hubby says NO! We will come up with something!

We go back in 2-3 weeks when the develop a personality to pick which female we want.

Puppies:



And when she gets bigger, she will look like this: (this is our lake neighbors 8 month old Wheaten she sent me a pic of this morning)

Congrats on the new puppy! I am sure you will figure out a great name. What a beautiful dog you will have!

Glad to hear Buster had a good day. Continued prayers.

Here are Sidney (left) & Ophelia, they are the twins. He is the lover and she is the smartest cat we have.

I guess they were having a bad hair day that day.

I love that picture! They are too cute!!!

Oh what fun Ryan, I love it!

I plan to drive a friend of mine to Chico tomorrow so she can pick up some things with a gift card she received for Christmas. She can't afford a car, so I help when I can. She fell and broke her hip just before school started and was told by her doctor not to ride her two-wheel bike. Some kind person found out about this, bought her a gorgeous three-wheel bike, pimped it out (can I say that here?), and put it just outside her back door (They did this anonymously.). It was so much fun to watch her and listen to her trying to figure out who gave her the bike. What is really funny is that she thought it was I, and I thought it was another mutual friend. I am sure that tomorrow she will try to logically figure it out some more, so I know our trip to Chico will be interesting! I love it when what I consider a miracle like this happens. It really confirms my faith. TTY sometime after we return.

Your are very sweet Seawaters! Have a safe trip and enjoy the time with your friend!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

Sending up prayers for Nancy, I hope all goes well.

So cute!

I love it when people do that for others, it is so much fun to see their reactions! Have fun in Chico today.

There are 97 houses along the walking route in my neighborhood here in Raleigh.
As of this afternoon's walk, I'm pleased to report that 18 of them still have Christmas decorations up!

Keeping track of the decorations on my walk each year helps make January more tolerable.
(And sometimes February, too!)

That's pretty impressive! :grin:

Good morning, MMC!!

Round two of the Polar Vortex starts tonight here

Stay safe & warm, friends~

Hope you have a blessed & beautiful day!!

Xx

Have a wonderful day snowflake, stay safe and keep warm!

Don't worry, Barney is still around and driving parents nuts today! EA never really watched it, but DS does!

I didn't know he was still around! Now I have the I Love You song stuck in my head.

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a cloudy day here with a high of 34 and then the snow moves in again tonight followed by Polar vortex round 2. At least round 2 isn't going to be as bad as round one. I still hate to see below zero temps in the forecast though. Not much going to for me today. Mom has a migraine and stayed home from work, so I might end up taking her to the doctor's for a shot. Other than that, I'll just be trying to catch up on some stuff here on the computer I think. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

I hope your mom feels better, have a great day Made!

Good morning friends. I'm off for MLK day, and am going to enjoy it! The kids will be in school so I'm heading to the movies later. Have a great day everyone.

Enjoy the movie Ryan, have a great day!
