Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Well I have to get up early to go to the Doctor's with mom for her blood test. So I'm going to sign off of here and try to get a few things done while watching the last of The Voice and The Black List.

Goodnight, Everyone!!!!!!!

I have been praying for her blood test to be PERFECT this time!!!

I am always talking about his movie LOL !! It is one of my favourite Christmas guilty pleasures. I just love it!

The brother-in-law is funny, actually the whole family! I like the ending where Angela realizes her Christmas is "perfect"!

Merry Tuesday! Happy April!!!!

My rose bush has bloomed two beautiful red roses, they are a vibrant pop of colour against the grey, dismal morning. I always look forward to the first blooms in my garden.

I woke up feeling a little unwell this morning. I have had a terrible stiff neck since yesterday and I am struggling getting things done especially lifting my little one. I was also feeling a bit nauseas and weak earlier. Anyway I am starting to feel better now although I know it will be a couple more days till my neck is back to normal. It usually is when it gets like this.

I have finished the laundry and tidying the house. Now I need to get some work done but I am finding it hard to focus. Maybe after a cup of tea.....

I will pop back in later . Have an easy going, stress free day everybody.

I hope you feel well soon!!!

Good Morning, MMC!!!! It's a windy morning here in central Indy but we should get up to near 70 today. Then tomorrow the rain starts and doesn't stop until the weekend. Mom's blood test went about how I expected it to go. She went from 1.3 to 1.4. So the doctor decided to up her to 10 milligrams of the blood thinner from the 7 milligrams on some days and 8 milligrams on other days. So hopefully that kind of kicks things in to a higher gear and gets her up between the 2 and 3 that they want her. Now I'm off to do some more cleaning and maybe some baking. The first thing that I am going to do though is pack up all of my Santa's and take them to goodwill. I've decided that they are just to creepy and I don't want them staring at me anymore. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good afternoon, everyone!

It's the final day of March. Tomorrow we will joyously welcome April into our lives. Considering that the weather pattern in Ottawa has us about a month behind, April couldn't come fast enough! Hopefully the new month will bring seasonal tempeartures and rid us of the winter's hands, which has been holding on for far too long!

Today has been an easy day in school. I've had three pretty great classes. Tomorrow will more than likely change. I have a couple classes that can either be good or bad. We'll see how it goes! I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Well, classes are almost over. I'm going to look forward to this drive home. The sun is shining and blue skies are as far as I can see. Enjoy the rest of your Monday, everyone!!

I hope you are right about April ridding us of winters hands! :smile: Hope you have another great day at school today & you were able to enjoy the beautiful weather yesterday! Hoping for another beautiful day today!!!

Around here it is the very vicious Fisher cats, and there has been reports of a mountain lion not to far away, the next town over.

Mountain lions in Massachusetts?

They aren't vicious (as far as I know), but there seems to be a lot of skunks in our area. Just when it gets warm enough to start opening the windows---pyewww! I haven't "met" one in person (yet), but you can tell when they're active.

And we often have bunnies in our yard. But they're not vicious either.

Occasionally you see a snapping turtle. They ARE vicious. I understand they can snap your finger off if you're not careful.

I can see them from your vivid description!

Giving up coffee ... Too much caffeine! That's it .. Cold turkey. No more ... So long Starbucks .....

(Take a look at the calendar before you take this seriously, folks!! cheesy)

Good Morning, Everyone.

Hey!
April first.
And you know what that means.

Carl wanted to spread the rumor that the Shispering Pines was going to close but he was talked out of it.
(I think we are lucky that the weekly 'Pines open house does not fall on April Fools day. No telling WHAT that camel might do. Of course, we'll find out next year, I suppose!)

But that aside, on with our count:
Days to the Season: 226
Days to Christmas Day: 268

Now barely over 3 1/2 weeks until our next Milestone, the 1/3 Christmas Day marker.
Add a day, and we will be at the grand opening of the 200-day Season Window.
Afterwards, we enter 100's territory and the fast track to Christmas Season 2014.
(Wow! This is all so sudden. Things are moving too fast!)


Well, at last.
At long last.
A BEAUTIFUL day with highs in the low 70's, no rain, plenty of sun and calm winds.
(What took you so long, Mother Nature?)
Right now, we have started out the 2nd day of the work week at a still chilly 42 degrees here in central NC.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Folks!

Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a great day Crown!

My granddaughter's choice of movie is Snowglobe. She loves that movie and has seen it so many times that she practically has it memorized! She likes to hold one of my Christmas snowglobes while she watches it. She is very gentle with it and loves to shake it every time Angela (in the movie) shakes her snowglobe!

Has anyone here seen it? It's silly and corny but there is a moral to the story and it's a good one! I love that movie!

Gotta go, we are about to watch it. Maybe this is just what my granddaughter needs to feel better. I know Christmas is good medicine!

That is adorable!!!! I have seen the movie, but it's been a long time. I thought it was cute!

Oh okay! It seems I hear about more cats reaching that age than dogs is why I thought that. Even though he an old dog, it's NEVER EASY when they become ill. If you think there is no improvement we can at least hope that he feels comfort. I am sure he will with all the love in the house!

Oh, Holiday, I am so sorry that Buster is struggling ~ the poor little guy. He is in my prayers, as are you. {{{HUGS}}} for both of you.

Thank you! It is horrible to even think about having to make that decision! He has been with us a long time! I think traveling back & forth to the lake, which opens this weekend, is going to be pretty tough on the poor guy!

Good afternoon, MMC!

I hope this finds everyone having a good day!

The peepers are out!!!

Trying to get caught up on a few things for the store and a few other things so that I can play hooky tomorrow and hang out with my cousin. It has been months since we have been able to do anything together so there is a lot of catching up to accomplish. If it is nice enough, I hope to go to Frankenmuth and visit the library. A lot of the books I want to read are book 2 in a series so I need to start tracking down the book 1s.

Have a MERRY day!!!

Have so much fun today playing hooky with your cousin!! So jealous if you get to go to Frankenmuth! ENJOY!!!

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Good luck with the exercise! It is hard to stay motivated, I know =]

Have a great day!!

Thank you so much!!!

Good morning Star!

Good morning, everyone!

A quick hello before I begin my drive to teach. It's a beautiful morning in Canada's Capital. Temperatures are currently below freezing, but the sun is shining and blue skies are still prevalent. If the snow is not yet melting, it certainly will in a couple hours. Highs today are suppose to be around 7c or mid 40s! Very exciting!!

As if getting my keys for the new apartment tonight wasn't exciting enough, I had a dream last night. It was a Christmas dream. It was November 22 and Crown was counting us through the magical dates of Christmas. I was traveling through stores, enjoying Christmas music and taking in all the excitement. Oh, what a dream. Unfortunately, I woke up to April 1s. Yes, even my mind played an April Fools trick on me. Oh well. At least we have a wonderful summer ahead of us!

Have a great Tuesday, everyone! It's a new month... and we're almost at 'Pines Day!

Good morning and Happy Tuesday Brent!!!

 

[Holiday]

Prayers for you and Buster, hugs going all around!

You'll have to post pictures of Gracie later on this week!

Thanks Sugar!

Here is Gracie this past Sunday "playing" with our friends dog "Bud" ~ Bud was not a fan of Gracie either - he's 10 years old. She just has too much energy for them older dogs! : -)


Here she is yesterday when she crawled back in her cage when I was home for lunch. She likes it in there! And she really does have eyes! :smile:

Good afternoon everyone!

My internet connection has been miserable the last three days. The house is being renovated and so the internet has been disconnecting very frequently. Fortunately, the mess is going to an end and internet connection is much better now. I am glad to be back.

The only good thing about not having an internet was that I did quite a generous amount of work on my Christmas-themed story. ^^

There are too many posts for me to catch up so I just hope that everyone has been doing great these days.

I will see you all in the evening! This time for sure. :]
Best wishes!

I think that Christmas movie worked! My granddaughter is feeling a lot better and was able to eat something. She was sad that we had to leave the Arboretum so soon and asked if we can go back tomorrow. If it doesn't rain we just might go!

Glad the movie helped her feel better. Hope she is good to go today & you are able to go back. Have a great day!

Aww, that sounds so wonderful! Buster is such a sweet boy

No more "exercising" then! You just get moving and do something you enjoy and suddenly you are getting a workout! Go biking, adventuring through trails, kayaking, play with the dogs outdoors and more. I had belonged to a gym for over 5 years at one time and at that time it was FUN! I loved every minute of it. They could tell and tried to hire me as a water aerobic instructor. I tried to join a gym over a year ago and suddenly it was BORING! If your bored, you don't want to work out. My husband and I bought bikes and it's a blast and we get a workout. I joined the Arboretum to take the kids out there and with 66 acres and lots of hills I am getting one heck of a workout! My husband and I love to rent kayaks at the lake and that gets your blood going rowing that boat around! We keep trying to come up with new ideas to get our workout in. For me, I am not trying to lose weight but just stay healthy and energized. Think about it and see what you come up with!

I have a treadmill too and use it but it get boring! I try to watch a movie while on it so helps... some.

Good luck to you and keep us posted!

The exercise machines are boring. I'd rather be doing chores around the house than be on one of those machines. I joined a gym and cancelled my membership because I wasn't going. I really have everything I need here in the house, I just need to get off my butt and do it. We do have a beautiful lake nearby with trails that are perfect for long walks. I will definitely be going there now that the temperatures are starting to warm up!

Have a wonderful day Christmasstar!!!

Buster is in my thoughts.

Thanks Xmas!

Good evening,


It is after 11pm, so I guess this is my allotted time lately.
Busy day at work, I'll end that right there since I don't go back until Wednesday afternoon.
I have some plans for tomorrow, no April Fools jokes planned though. I have to try to get the Saturn back on the road, so I will take the battery out and bring it to see if it has any "juice" left. I will also run to the Scout store to get JP a few things.

I hope you all enjoyed your Monday.


Good night, everyone.

Hope you have a wonderful day off!! ENJOY!

So sorry to hear about Buster. That is tough. Praying for him. I hope Gracie enjoys her grooming session!

Thanks Festive! I'm wondering if I should send Gracie to be groomed - she is in a terrible chewing/biting (sharp puppy teeth) phase! Might not be worth it!

Good morning, MMC!!

Have a blessed day!
