I MISSED YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Wow... I have no idea how in the world I'm going to catch up. ROFL

Let's see spent the better part of January mobile with little reception. Got back to my house around 12:30am on Wednesday night (technically Thursday morning) on the 23rd. Got up at 6am with the intention of immediately dropping off my dogs at the boarding place and heading to the east coast of Florida with my son for his competiton. Ended up not leaving till nearly 8:30pm because the construction guy finishing the bathroom didn't finish on time and then broke the kitchen sink. No I don't know how. LOL

Competition that weekend, got back on Tuesday the 28th and shut myself up in my studio to engrave for 5 days straight for an exhibit in Oklahoma that had to be shipped on Monday the 3rd.

As soon as that was done I started writing new coding and rebuilding our company so we can dissolve from partner. Did that till Thursday the 6th, back out of town for more competitions, got back on Tuesday the 11th, more work on company and then left again this past Thursday the 13th for competition and just walked back in the door about 30 minutes ago.

I should hopefully have all the corporate transfers, rebuilds and legal things finished this week - I hope.

Another competition this weekend, but Noah is staying with friends in Palm City for that who also are on the same circuit. Very grateful for them and the friendship. :-)

Competition again Feb 28 - March 3rd and I will be going to that one. Have some more shows coming up in April for glassware and a wedding, but hey I have the whole month of March for that! :-D

I'm super excited because I just learned about 2 hours ago that the company my husband works with managed to get him a week off in March so he'll get to fly home!!! They've never done this before. Normally he doesn't get to come home till mid summer.

Hope everyone is well and blessed and I'll be catching up as I go. I started working on some Christmas designs for a Christmas in July show this year. It's almost March!!! *bouncy happy* I can faintly hear the sleigh bells of Christmas 2014!!

Good evening, MMC family!

It has been a snowy day here, and a lot of blowing & drifting. The visibility driving home from work was pretty bad. We got another 7 inches here on the outskirts of town. And it's not finished just yet!

In fact, Eau Claire was just on the Nightly News with Bryan Williams!
We heard them say something about nasty weather in Wisconsin, looked up, and saw a very familiar snow plow truck driving down the highway, right by our house. The bottom of the screen read "Eau Claire, WI", and Adi said he even heard Bryan try to pronounce our city, not very accurately, lol. I laughed and asked Adi if he recognized the truck. We joke about the company that plows our development, and have a funny name for them. They are hilarious, and have way too much fun driving around and chatting with each other, instead of plowing....

Work was actually somewhat slow today, so I managed to work on some reviews and get some extra paperwork done this afternoon. They've added so many more responsibilities to the managing coordinators up front. It's hard to keep up with it all, especially with budget cuts, and less associate coverage. So today was very productive.

Thinking of you all, and sending big hugs.

Stay safe & warm tonight, friends~

Thanks, HmG!! We are!

We've got a lot of snow in the past 24 hours, so Adrian has been outside shoveling, and I'm making dinner & catching up here.

I think a movie & fire are in order tonight!

Hugs to you, Molly, and Maggie~

I get so nervous when I read about your weather. Be careful out there!
I still don't know how to pronounce your town and I know you've told us how to, lol.
I'm glad you had a productive day at work!

Thanks Snowflake!! :-)

Hope you enjoy your evening too!! Fire and a movie sound wonderful.

I'm sitting in my truck right now in my driveway biding 2 hours. LOL Florida is having a terrible flea issue this year. I have treated the dogs which I hate doing but I felt it was necessary. The last time I picked them up from the kennel, all four came home with guests. Right before we left on Thursday I saw a flea on my sock and the dogs were already at the kennel. Yuck.

I quickly steam cleaned and right after walking in the door this evening, set off a flea bomb. I would just sit on the porch but its a tad too humid and the mosquitos are bad. So I headed to my truck.

Neighbors must think I'm squirrelly. LOL Glen watched me get in the truck, close the door and then not go anywhere. LOL. I've noticed him in the rearview mirror the last hour and a half occassionally try and see my sillouhette.

Thank you!

Hope you are getting rid of the flea problem as we "speak"! They are a pain in the behind.

Hope your pups are ok, too <3

((Hugs)) to you all!!

Thanks, buddy!!

Yes, it was cool! Caught us off guard, lol. Normal to see Vegas in the news, but not much of Eau Claire, WI! cheesy

I'll point out that area of the highway to you one day!

Thanks for thinking of me~ You are so sweet.

You guys have had your share of bad weather this year, too! It's just nuts all around. Stay safe, as well.

It is pronounced like "O" and the name "Claire" =) A lot of people say "Eww" haha!
 
Hello all. I am crazy behind on posts but wanted to drop in and say hello. We will be out of town later this week so I may not be around much. Tomorrow is my only day working this week so I know I'll be busy.

Hope y'all are doing great. I miss y'all!

HMG - Is your daughter here with friends? Is she staying in the Tampa area or elsewhere? For how long?

I'm sure she won't, but if she needs anything, PM me for my cell - I can be there quickly. ;-) I'm in Lakeland. It's 30 min outside of Tampa and 40 min to Orlando, right between them. Always bugs the mom in me when my kid goes out of state for something and I'm not there.

My daughter is in Tampa with her best friend and her friends family, they have a second home down there. She will be coming home on Friday. Although when I spoke with her yesterday she told me she wasn't coming back to New York, lol.
I will definitely let you know if she needs you for anything. Thank you so much xx
