Christmas Countdown - 2014

made582 · Apr 27, 2014

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! It's going to be a warm day here with a high in the mid 70's. Then the rain moves in this evening and sticks around the rest of the week. Not to much going on here today. Just dealing with 2 wild and crazy girls running around here. I do have to run a couple of errands but I'm hoping their mother will be here to pick them up before then. Other than that, just have to do my normal daily chores. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning!
It is going to be mostly sunny today with temperatures in the mid 50's. I think I'm going to take a walk outside today instead of going on the treadmill. Still hate that darn treadmill. But I've been pushing myself to go on it just about everyday.
I have a couple of errands to run and then I'll be working on some chores around the house. My husband has a few things to do on the kitchen cabinets. He said they're just about ready to go to the finisher. We're still debating on the color but we're leaning towards an antique white. That will look good with the dark brown floors. Oh and we still have to pick out stone for the counters. And also figure out what we are going to do for a backsplash. My husband said he may use tile for the backsplash. We've been looking at pictures of kitchens on Houzz, its a great website to get ideas. So there's still a lot to do but we're getting there. My husband said his goal is to have the cabinets in the house by May 11th, our wedding anniversary. That would be nice!
I hope everyone is well and has a great day!

I love The Vermont Country Store! I ordered a set of Christmas Elves from them recently, they are so darn cute!

I love them, too!
Your elves sound awesome!!

I have those, too! They are cute little guys. They hide in the branches of my Christmas tree and smile at everything!

Here's a link, so you can see what they look like.

Another gray, chilly, damp day here … oh, well. That means it's a good day for video!

Mr. calls it my "tea party"---on Sunday morning I like to make some tea, pour it into my genuine bone china mug, and watch an episode of "Downton Abbey." Amazon Instant Video has the first three seasons for free, so I got hooked and had to buy Season 4 to keep watching. When I finish those, I'll have to wait for Season 5 with everybody else! In the meantime, I can watch the original series of "Upstairs, Downstairs," which is very good.

Prom is in the books and it was a success. One of the better proms I remember in years. Going to check the weather and then head to bed. Rain is slated to start around noon and it's supposed to be an interesting day. We will see.

Probably going to look at a few Christmas sites before bed, so y'all be good! Got caught up for the most part today. I hate that I don't get to come everyday like I used to, but I guess that's part of having a little one.

Sleep tight! Sweet dreams!

always nice when things turn out well!
Enjoy your Sunday

Good Sunday morning, my Christmas friends!

Elizabeth and I got in the pool yesterday afternoon so I could done some vacuuming. Wow, it took a while before my teeth stopped chattering!

She has Oliver Twist auditions today, so we're going to grab a quick lunch and head out.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

ballcoach · Apr 27, 2014

Lasagna is in the crockpot!

If you haven't ever had it that way, I would strongly recommend it. Delicious!

We took my dad and grandson to see the Blue Angels yesterday. What a blast!!! Since we were up against the fence line my grandson got to meet several of the Blue Angels crew. It was his first air show and he loved it!

I sure hate to, post and run, but I got to go! I only got to read a few post.

I hope to stay caught up on here this week. If I missed any big news please message me!!!

I love going to airshows. We had a Snow Birds here awhile back, they stayed at the hotel where my daughter worked and gave her tickets to the show. She got to meet them all.
My son and I went to the airport to look at the planes figuring we would just take pictures through the fence. To our delight we were invited out on the tarmac to go right up to the planes and look inside. It was a great visit with very few people as no one knew they were doing this.

Hope you get all done you want to.
