Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Holiday]

Ugh!!! I hope we don't get any here!!! With all of the fields around here though, I'm actually surprised that I haven't had one in my apartment in the 8 years that I have lived here.


The trailer looks great!!!

Thanks! I hope you don't get any either!! I sure don't need anymore - ever! Lol

Good morning MMC! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend!



We had a fun Christmassy weekend at the lake! Friday night we went caroling to the neighbors trailers. :lol: Saturday we went to a festival where I bought my 1st Christmas presents for the year! YAY! Saturday night was our Christmas dinner & white elephant exchange. It went good, but there are always a few scrooges! Ah well! After the exchange, 5 of us girls went back to our trailer to watch Christmas Vacation!! One of the ladies (66 years old) has NEVER seen it before!! It was fun to watch it with someone who was seeing it for the 1st time!!



Yesterday we had some wild weather come through. We were eating breakfast outside at the neighbors (under their awning) when it started POURING & then hailing! But no damage that we know of. It rained off & on ALL day. I stayed at the lake all day with Gracie & my sisters dog who I was dog sitting for. Figured it would be a muddy mess at home! I watched 2 episodes of Little House on the Prairie Christmas, The Answer, The Gift, & part of The Joyful Hour. I was trying to get everything cleaned up, put away & head towards home before a wicked storm was coming last night...but I didn't make it! It was raining & blowing SO HARD I could barely see the lake. I couldn't pull up the weather on my phone, our dish went out - hubby wasn't answering his phone....and here I sat in a trailer!! BUT it went through & all was good. Just a few downed branches. Got home & Gracie definitely found the mud!!! She's going to be chained in the front yard until it dries up...or we'll move to the lake. What a mess!!!







Have a great day everyone!!!

What a muddy sweetheart!!

Glad you had such a fun, Christmassy weekend!!

I bet it was a blast to watch Christmas Vacation w/ your friend for her first time!

Glad you stayed safe in the storm.

Have a wonderful week!!

Thanks, Buddy!!!!! I do too!!! One of the other ladies quit so she has been trying to do 2 desks worth of work. So hopefully it doesn't wear her out to much.







Stay safe and I hope the leak doesn't get any worse!!!!









Glad your neck is feeling better!!!!



Stay cool and I hope they listen to the mayor and keep the hospital open!!!









It is!!! They said if the forecast holds true that this will be the coldest July ever.



As much as I'm enjoying the cooler temps now, I'm worried about this winter too. I don't need another season of heat bills that are double or triple what they normally are.

A double workload is tough at any time, but this has to be extra tough on her. Keeping her in my prayers, buddy.

Now the sun is shining. Go figure!

Awesome!! Enjoy the sunshine!!

Forgot to mention - last week we caught a mouse in our trailer. Never in 10 years have we had a mouse in our trailer at the lake. And then we catch one in July??? This morning I come into work & guess what?? There is a mouse in the trap here!! WTH??!! My boss said maybe the mice know something (about the weather) that we don't! UGH!!!



On a side note - here is the front of our trailer decorated for CIJ! I didn't go all out this year...but I put up a few easy things:

Hope there are no more mice!!

Super cute decorations!!! How fun!!

$4.50 a gallon? Yikes!!!!! Fingers crossed that you don't have to pay that again!!!!!

No doubt! A "normal" winter we would have been fine on propane. But we were nearly out & there is a 125 gallon minimum...so we had to get 125 gallon at 4.50/gallon at the end of the season! OUCH!

Oh I forgot. I thought my niece's going back to school on Thursday was crazy but the district that I went too actually went back today!!!! That is just way to early!!!!! Come on!!!

Oh my!!! Yep, that is crazy!!! Our nephews in Indy go back Thursday too. It doesn't effect me, but I don't like it. :lol:

Agreed - no more mice! :thumbsup: I'm not sure about "super cute decorations" but they were quick & easy (and old) for CIJ! :lol:

HMG - praying for your daughter. Hoping the surgery goes well/went well!

Good evening!
I'm just popping in quick to say hello and say thanks again for all of the Happy Birthday wishes. I had a nice day with my family, they gave me some great gifts which included six new Keepsake ornaments (I know you guys would appreciate those) and we also went out to one of my favorite restaurants for dinner. I have to turn in now because my daughters surgery is early tomorrow morning. I'm sure I won't be around until she's back home, settled in and resting comfortably. I would appreciate it if you would keep her in your prayers. Thank you so much. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their evenings.
Goodnight and sweet dreams!

Hi sugar
I am having a nice day, thanks.

Hi Everyone!!
I am back, I have my own laptop now so I can get on here more often.
YAY!!!!:hi::sparkle::merry:

Welcome back, LittleCS! Good to see you!

Hello everyone. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers for my dad. He is in the hospital as he was bleeding awful from an incision that had been made during his previous hospital visit. He is doing better.

I hope everyone has a great Monday! We are having another unseasonably cool cold front come through this week! I'm excited!

Good afternoon, Ryan. Sorry to hear your dad is back in the hospital. Lots of prayers being sent his way, as well as yours. (((Hugs)))

Good afternoon, friends!!

Wow, HEAVY rain! It was pouring down the outside of the windows here at the office---and then raindrops started pattering INSIDE the window! There's a leak somewhere high up in the window frame. I had to quickly remove my stuff from the windowsill and get some paper towels in there. Happily, not much water came in, but I'll have to keep an eye on it during the heavy thunderstorms expected today.

The weather service was reporting a severe thunderstorm with heavy rain, heavy winds, and pea-sized hail over my home town shortly before that ... I hope everything is all right back home.

I hope your Monday is going more normally!

We had storms like that yesterday, with counties around me, with tornado warnings. Be safe, MerryCarey.

 

[sugar142286]

I glad your dad is getting a little better.

And I'm glad your getting a cold front. It's supposed to be 100°F and 100% humidity today. Whew!

Whew is right! Try to stay cool friend and think Christmassy thoughts!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's supposed to be super hot today, then back down to the low-to-mid-90's for the rest of the week.

We had a good weekend. Friday I had such a "crick" in my neck, that I wound up with an awful headache, but it cleared up for the rest of the weekend. Yesterday afternoon I vacuumed the pool, then soaked for an hour. Ahhh.

Today at noon I'm going to a meeting at our local hospital. I think they're considering closing it, and I'm going to support it remaining open. My cardiologist told me that, if they hadn't stabilized me for transport to Savannah a couple years ago, I wouldn't have survived the trip. So, I have a vested interest in keeping the hospital open. I think their biggest problem is too many people on the admin staff with super-huge salaries. Oh well.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hope the meeting goes well and they can keep it open. I'm all for small hospital staying open too - I work at one! The only being, with the way healthcare is today, it's hard for hospitals, even big ones anymore, to stay on their own. I don't know how ones in the south are, but up here in the north, all the hospitals are going together with some bigger hospital to "stay alive" because of reimbursement, insurance, etc. Hopefully they can stay open.

Sounds like you had such a fun weekend! Glad you stayed safe in the storms. Sounds like what we got later last evening. Gracie is such a cutie. That is something Ella would do too.
