Happily, the ice was not so terrible this morning. I think the wind dried some of the rainfall before it froze, so the treated roads were in good shape. That was a relief, because our new car arrived at the dealer's yesterday, so we had to go to arrange for the insurance this morning so the dealer could take the registration paperwork to the RMV. We'll be picking the car up Saturday. I'm excited and (being me) a little nervous. We haven't had a new car in ten years, and it has so many new features and is a wee bit bigger than I'm used to. But I'm sure it won't feel strange for long.

Glad the ice wasn't bad!

How exciting about your car!!

Congrats, again!!

At the ER with mom. She is having another TIA/Stroke. Lots of weakness on her right side. Not really slurring her words though. So probably worse than the last one but not as bad the first stroke or first TIA.

Haha, it was really informative day. :lol: My head was buzzing for a while after the lectures had finished.

I can only imagine the way you feel today because I still have my mum with me but as someone here already have said, memories strike once in a while. Especially on a day like this. I really hope you will better tomorrow. Sending my best wishes your way.

Good evening! I hope you all had a good day. :] It has been busy but interesting day at the campus. Got one of my assessments back. The mark was quite disappointing because I put a lot of work and effort into that scientific article. Anyway, there are ups and downs in academic life as in any other aspect of life so I guess it is one of those downs for me now. Just have to deal with it and hope that there will be higher grades from my other assignments. :]

I am gonna grab a glass of water and read a book now. (Uni work has taken most of my time lately so I wasn't able to read much.)

Enjoy your evening everyone. I will pop in tomorrow morning.

Sorry to hear about your disappointing grade, it is difficult when you put so much time and energy into a project

Enjoy your reading!

((Hugs))

Good Morning, Everyone!

Really moving in now on our fourth Milestone of 2014.

Days to the Season: 245
Days to Christmas Day: 287

Day after tomorrow.
1/3 of the way to the Season.
Yes. It's true. Really.

Well, what difference a day makes.
We reached 70 degrees yesterday afternoon and this morning we stand at 34.
Factor in the wind and it's as if we have moved from early Summer right back into the pit of Winter.
At least the rough, rainy weather of yesterday evening has subsided.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks.
And once again, it will be Weekend Eve tomorrow!

Hope you're enjoying you're Thursday!

Don't know if anyone would be interested but I just got my JoAnne's sale flyer in email and they are having 50% off all character material. I did a search, because I'm an overgrown child and still love things with Peanuts Gang and Winnie The Pooh.

They have this no-sew fleece throw material on sale for 50% off:

Good morning, MMC family!!

How are you today?

I am looking forward to my day off~ My schedule has been kind of crazy lately, so every day off is greatly appreciated.
There is a lot to be done around the house, and I need to go grocery shopping as well. Other than that, I would like to relax some!

It is currently cloudy & 19 degrees, but the high is 44. Yeah!

Hope you have a blessed & gorgeous day!!

Good Morning Christmas Friends!!!

I had the kids all day yesterday - my mom and I took them out for some fun then by the time they left I was too tired to catch up on chores around the house. I just got the basics done, dishes, picking up and such. They will not be here today so I am hoping to get something done. Maybe just MAYBE I can visit here more today!!!

I hope you all have a very Merry Day!!!

Hope you're having a great day too!

I hate to see you disappointed with your grade Victoria, you are always working so hard. I'm glad you are able to take a break and do some reading tonight. I hope you enjoy your evening!

Good morning!
It's cold and windy out today. We are currently in the teens and will have a high of around 25 degrees. The wind makes it feel so much worse. I'm sick of it!
Not too much going on for me. I need a few things at Target. Then back home to work on some chores. Dinner is already cooking in the crock pot. My youngest still didn't find a new job, she really hasn't applied to many places though. I'll probably take a ride with her this afternoon to pick up a few applications. I don't have much to do later so I might as well keep her company.
I hope everyone is well and has a great day!!!

Good morning,

It was downright cold this morning when I took the boys to school. I don't complain much about the cold, since I spend most of my days in a cooler that is 29-34*f all day long but the air was cold this morning. The temp said 10*f but windchill made it worse.

Today is a bittersweet day, I have the day off, but it is also the 23rd anniversary of my mother's passing. I remember that day so clearly, we were supposed to go visit her in the hospital after school and bring a pizza with us for dinner. I remember we drove straight to the hospital without stopping for the pizza, my aunt, uncle, grandparents were all there, they brought us to the cafeteria, I always picked out the half-sour pickle, the cafeteria had the best. Then they brought us to the hospital chapel and broke the news to us that she had passed away. I was 16 and my sister was 13 and all I could think of was that we were orphans. Sorry for rambling, just I always have these memories on this day.

I have been watching Christmassy stuff today to keep my spirits up, and I have the Bruins game tonight. I have a chicken in the crockpot, making red skinned mashed potatoes, stuffing and so on. Dinner will be yummy tonight.

I hope you all are having a good day.
