Christmas Countdown - 2014

[sugar142286]

Good evening to all! Hope your Tuesday was good. :] I had a seminar at uni and started working on my other essay after that. I am now doing final touches for my nuclear power debate on Friday because our group is meeting tomorrow for a demo presentation to make sure everything goes smoothly. I can't wait until the debate is finished!

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. I ran through the posts and noticed the weather is getting warmer in most of the places. Happy for spring coming at your places guys because Scottish weather thankfully has been simply fantastic for last three days. ^^

Sending my best wishes your way. Woop!

Good evening, Victoria. Sounds like you're having a very productive day. Enjoy your evening.

Good evening, Holiday. Hoping Gracie's vet appointment went well.

Too cute! Palmer used to go after the bath tissue all the time until I learned to keep the roll tight on the spindle. How is Buster doing? Sending hugs out his way! I hope you are having a great day, too!

Thanks! Gracie's appointment went well. She gained 2.4 lbs in a week! Vet can still hear that her heart valve is not closing all the way after the 1st beat - she says she can't hear a murmur, but it's not "normal", but she feels her muscles just aren't totally developed yet & she will outgrow it. She said if she wasn't gaining weight, then she would maybe have more to worry about. She said it's a very minor concern on a scale of 1-6, she is a 1 or low 2. She doesn't think this is ever going to be an issue. She took her 1st flea/heartworm/parasite pill & so far has had no reaction to it, so hopefully that goes well. She put her on Trifexis. I love this new vet! She's awesome! Buster is doing alright. He just keeps plugging along. His back end is pretty weak, especially after laying down in 1 position for a long time. Takes a bit for him to get going in the morning. Poor guy. Gracie keeps attacking him & he keeps taking it. We try our best to stop her!!

EA's birthday is in September, 15th to be exact and it is usually still warm enough, that I can have a party outside and we can still go camping or something that weekend too. She loves having her birthday in September. Little Bambina will as well!

Enjoy your Snow Day tomorrow and the time home with your family!

I love my September birthday!!! Other than the fact that summer is winding down, but then - so much to look fwd too!

Glad that Gracie's appointment went well and that Buster is still doing okay!!!

Trying to decide what kind of snacks to have tonight for Fat Tuesday! Hubby is taking Gracie out loafing so I'm thinking I'll watch a movie snack on something yummy & maybe have a glass of wine?? Hmmmm....

 

[snowflake22]

Man, she's awesome.....I can hear her now....

Christmas, the snow is coming down, Christmas....I'm watching it fall....Ah...



Dawg, God bless you. God bless your family. Take care, friend. See you soon!

"Lots of people around...Baby please come home!"

Two suggestions that work for me: Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream, and Burt's Bees Shea Butter Hand Repair Cream. The first one is good to use in the morning or during the day, because it's light and absorbs quickly. The second is a thick ointment that takes longer to absorb, but it's good stuff. The cold, dry weather really does a number on skin, especially hands. I hope you can get some relief---and some warmer weather soon!

Thank you, MerryCarey!! Appreciate the suggestions. I will look for them!! =]

It's Kinkling Day in Frederick County, Maryland ... have one on me!

Mmm, don't they just melt in your mouth?

Oh my goodness! They look delicious!! I'll take quite a few!! :grin:

Almost 1/3 to the season....wow.

I have an alert on my calendar that does off on certain personal milestone throughout the year. Today, I hit 4 months until Christmas prep begins. I usually start getting ready on the Fourth of July (or right around it). This year, we have already talked about how we are going to need to be much more organized and prepared since we will have a little one who has a birthday in the Bers'....give us another thing to celebrate....Sept...baby bday....Oct...Halloween....Nov...Thanksgiving....Dec...Christmas!!!!! Isn't that going to be fun!

Snow day #2. Doesn't look like we will go tomorrow, either. Just going to hang out with Doc and Bambina and be thankful for what we have. Y'all enjoy today!

So much to look forward to!!

Enjoy your snow days, and extra time with your beautiful family!!

Typical day for me of chores and errands. I also have to go back to the dentist for another appointment. Busy, busy!
I hope you have a wonderful day Sam!



Me too, I have been going through so much hand cream this winter!
Sending hugs back your way xx



Thanks Crown, I hope you have a great day!!!

Hope your chores & errands go well today!

xx

Oh no! I'd gladly take the help of Made and Snowflake, but I'm worried Carl would only escalate an already crazy situation!!!

I agree! You never know what that camel is gonna do!! :wink:

Good morning all. Have a blessed Tuesday!

Good evening, Ryan! Hope you've had a nice day!!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

My city council meeting went well last night, although long-winded. Tonight is the meeting with the county commissioners and the other mayors to try to decide who will be running the new fire department. There's no way to get through this decisions without a lot of hard feelings. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, though.

It's over cast and cold this morning! Yesterday it got up to 78°, but today the high is 48° with a wind chill in the 30's. Brrrr!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Stay warm, Brad!

Hope your meeting goes well tonight. Good luck!

Where's Mgramsey and Brent?

I was wondering the same thing about mgramsey, hope him & his family are doing well. Keeping them in prayer.

Brent posted on the forum's home page, in the chatbox recently, that he has been staying very busy with teaching. Hope all is good with him, too =]

Good morning!
It is going to be cloudy today with a high of 26 degrees. It's going to warm up as the week goes on and should be in the 40's by the weekend. That will be nice!
I am heading out soon, I'm going to the supermarket to pick up a few things. Then back home to get some chores done. And my daughter has a dentist appointment later this afternoon. Hopefully nothing else will come up.
My husband told me the material for our kitchen cabinets came in and they are starting to be built. We're getting there. Slowly but surely.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Enjoy your warm-up!
Hope that your remodel continues to go well, SO EXCITING!!

I keep my phone by/in my purse when not in use ~ haven't forgotten it yet! I also made it a habit to put my keys in my purse once I am in the house ~ haven't forgotten them of late, either!

I'm good about keeping my keys in my purse. But the girls are in and out and between the three of them, someone is always texting me. So I end up carrying my cell phone around the house with me. Sometimes I don't even remember what room its in, I have to ask someone to call me so I can find it!

Goodnight, MMC! Laying down to take a nap. I will ttyt. Tomorrow is my day off and I am looking forward to it!

Sleep well and have a good night!

I'm glad Gracie's appointment went well and that the vet doesn't seem to be worried, that's great news. Continued prayers for Buster xx

Just popping by to say good afternoon. I just picked up my son from school. It was a lovely walk there and back. Blue, dry crisp day.

I am going to start dinner. We are having desert pancakes after dinner tonight as it is Pancake Day here today

Have a good evening everyone.

Hey Sam! Sounds like a beautiful walk!
Enjoy your desert! Happy Pancake Day!!

xx

Good Afternoon, MMC!!!!! It was a cold start to the morning with a temp on -2 out here in the country. It was still 6 degree's in the city though so we didn't set a new record low for coldest temp in March like they thought we would. I've been busy getting some stuff done around the apartment this morning so I can head out and spend some time at Papa Roux's for lunch. It sounds like they are having one heck of a Mardi Gras party with live music and all kinds of food specials. So I'm off to get me a Po' boy and some red beans and rice for lunch. Then it will be back home later to make some Jambalaya for dinner. I might pick up a king cake while I'm at Papa Roux's for dessert too. Laissez le bon temps rouler!!!!!!!!!!!

PS- I also here that Carl is planning a Mardi Gras party tomorrow night at the Pines. There were rumors of a cajun crawfish blend. I'm sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

Ewww!! Gross, Carl!

Glad you enjoyed your lunch @ Papa Roux's!!

xo

Don't get too comfortable in that heat.

The temps here this morning set a new record for this date in March, it was -7*f. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Haha! I'll try not to!! cheesy

Stay warm, friend~

I usually forget my cellphone and grab my keys, I was too busy trying to load the upholstery cleaner in the car and left the keys on the counter.

I really try not to forget my cellphone, since one time I forgot it was the day the tornado came through town. I was freaking out not being able to get through to my wife after hearing the news of the tornado tearing up the town.

We also have a phone built right into the Equinox, we were shocked when we found out it came with that.

I can't even begin to imagine how you must've felt.

((Hugs))

Your Equinox sounds really nice & safe.

I love my Acura for those same reasons. It's my first vehicle with all wheel drive. The luxuries are nice, too! I'm not gonna lie :smile:
