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.

Yes, those are the ones! I love those little guys!

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.

I hope you are relaxing and enjoying your day!!!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!!! It's been a rainy morning here but it should move out soon and then the wind is supposed to pick up. Fun!!!!! My sister was upset that I only was only making one cake for the cake walk tonight. So I got up this morning and made up a batch of cupcakes to take too. Now I just have to figure out how to decorate them. I also need to clean up the mess I made while making them. I'm always amazed when I watch these cooking shows and the hosts never get anything on them. I guess I'm just a messy cook. Then this afternoon I have to get some laundry done and make out my grocery list before heading out to the carnival this evening. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

She should have been happy you even made one! That was nice of you to make the cupcakes though too. What a great brother you are!

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

Good luck to Elizabeth!
Happy Sunday Brad!!!

Good morning MMC! Rainy morning here in Ohio! Rains supposed to quit around noon or 2:00! Hope it does! Noon is good with me - that's when I get off work!

We are heading to the lake tonight. Tomorrow night we have a birthday party for our niece/nephew. Sunday for lunch we have a birthday party for our friends son. My hubby is his Godfather....and I'm hoping to get a lot of walks/bike riding in between there! Supposed to have temps in the 60's all weekend. Gracie will be excited to head to the lake again to see all her friends! Lol!

Hope you all have a fun/relaxing weekend planned! Have a great FRIDAY! I'm off to read posts!!!

:merry:

Happy Birthday to all! Hope you're having a great weekend at the lake!

Lasagna is in the crockpot!

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

I have to try that one of these days. Enjoy!

I hope you get the look you love, make sure to post pictures of the finished production!

Thank you so much Star. I will definitely post pictures. You have all been listening to me complain about this project for a long time!

Hello all. Not much to report. Thankfully the severe weather was a bust! It rained hard this morning but that's it.

Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!

Great news Ryan. I hope you are having a wonderful day as well!

Good Morning!
Found an Elvis movie on TCM "It happened at the worlds fair"

Still coughing a lot with not much energy, but feel like I am on the mend. Taking tomorrow off so it will be Wednesday before I go back. One good thing about being sick, I lost 7lbs this week.

Nice sunny day here but still chilly. It is so strange not going to church on a Sunday morning. At least I can listen to the sermon on line later.

Enjoy your day everyone!

So happy to hear you are on the mend. I'm glad you can rest up for a couple of more days. Enjoy the rest of your day!

 

[sugar142286]

didn't think it possible but I feel worse today. Called in sick again. :-(
Going to see doctor at 5pm, my sinuses felt like they were going to explode. They still hurt even after a dose of sinutab extra strength, it hurts to wear my glasses.
I have no energy. The cough is getting better (must be all that practice!)
Do not get sick often, but when I do I do a good job of it!

Hope the doctor was able to help and you soon get to feeling better!

It is thundering & pouring rain outside, and I am in the mood for Fall =]

So I put in "You've Got Mail". I love this movie, and the autumn/Christmas scenes!!

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday!!

:scarykitty:

I love that movie too, haven't seen it in quite some time! Enjoy the movie Snowflake!

Evening my lovely Christmas family. I hope your day is turning out to be a good one. It is evening here and I am just starting dinner.

I managed to get a little work done which I am happy about. However I had to cut it short to pick my other son up from school and when we got home I discovered a curious situation in my kitchen. Water is seeping through the floor tiles. So I guess that's our weekend plans sorted!

There must be some sort of leak or something under the floor.....I don't know. It will all have to be rooted up I guess. Mr. Festive will ofcourse want to do this himself. I have to go into work on Sunday so I hope this isn't going to be a major disruption.

I hope you all have a free and easy weekend soaking up family, friends, fun and whatever else you have planned.

Hope you get the water situation figured out!

Thanks! We will! My BIL is doing good. I texted my sister Wed night & asked how Mr. J is doing & she said he was good. He was sitting at the counter watching the Reds & counting pills! :smile: Thanks for asking!

So glad to hear he is doing so well!

So sorry to hear about this, HMG. How did you make out? I hope you guys found out something? I know when I was younger and was ordering my dresses, they always ordered them bigger too, then the alterations would cost more - I think a lot of places truly do this on purpose.

That's what they always did to me too - then I would be swimming in too. I never agreed with the size they ordered.

I swear I think they do it on purpose too. The alterations are a fortune. I understand every dress has to be fitted and I have no problem with that. But like I said, why should I be responsible to pay for reconstructing the entire dress because they ordered it way too big. I'm really nervous about how the dress is going to look after it is altered. I'm praying its going to be just as beautiful.

Good afternoon, MMC!

I hope everyone is having a MERRY Milestone Day!!!

Happy Milestone Day Meceka, hope you're having a wonderful day!!!

So my husband came with us to the boutique and she was a totally different person. She apologized for ordering the dress too big and offered to take it in at no charge. I still had to pay to have it hemmed but I had absolutely no problem paying for that. There was just no way I was going to pay for the entire dress to be reconstructed because she ordered it too big. She is insisting that the dress will look perfect after the alterations. We shall see, I'm praying she is right. We go back in two weeks for the fitting. Fingers crossed!!!

Glad to hear that! Hoping everything goes well! Keep us updated!

back from doctor, turns out it was all in my head !
Ear, throat and sinus infection. He put me on cefprozil for 10 days and I have to come back if not better by then.

Hope it helps!

Good evening all.
Today has been a rough one.
I know we all have so many people to pray for. May I ask you to include a young couple in a terrible accident last night? This married couple were dear dear friends of my daughter's. Their car hit a stopped semi in a construction zone and my daughter's girlfriend, age 33, was killed immediately, her husband is on life support with severe head injuries and not expected to make it.
They have a 2 year old and a 4 week old infant who were not in the vehicle.
These young people were beloved by many. Please remember this family in your prayers if you have the chance. Thanks so much!

Oh this is so, so sad. Prayers coming their way. Keep us updated, momnan. What a tragedy.
