That's a good idea to stay put for a while! I'm glad you're able to do that!

Stay safe and warm! Have a great day!

Thank you Sugar...You do the same as well there rosebud~

It's great that I have a flexible schedule, in regards to like bad weather and such. So, for example, I can go in at 12 today and stay until whenever or make-up the difference at anytime between Tuesday thru Sunday... however, I just heard the forecast for Tuesday into Wednesday and they are calling for snow....:-D
 
I arranged to have superbowl sunday of work. Mr festive has booked the Monday off work too so he doesn't have to worry about staying up late. Live coverage begins around 11pm for us. Looking forward to it!

Have a great start to your week all.

Wow, I didn't realize that you followed the Super Bowl in England!

Stay safe in that wind. I hope it dies down soon. The whooshing and howling do get on your nerves after a while.
 
Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! Well the ice storm didn't really pan out. There was a think coating of ice out there but not the half inch of they were talking about. I put down one coating of salt when I first got up this morning and then I just went and put a second coating down on the spots that hadn't already melted. The cars are pretty much clear. Just north of here they got it worse though and everything is canceled today. Not to much planned for me this morning. Just need to do a few things around the apartment. Then since it's not bad out, I'll go babysit this afternoon while my sister meets with the counselor from the court. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!
 
Hope you had a nice visit!

Very nice, thank you! We hadn't seen him since before Thanksgiving, so he brought a delicious cake that said "Happy 19th Day of Christmas"! He knows the best bakeries! I put on some Christmas music and we all had a big slice.
 
Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a great Monday!

Good Monday morning everyone! Although I am not really an ohio fan..I will be watching the game tonight...I hope and pray they win,,my whole family is Oregon ducks fans and every single year I have to endure them bragging. I miss the college football season already why does it have to go by so fast!! it seems like we wait all winter spring and summer then fall comes and all of a sudden it's like over in 2 seconds!

Anyways right now at 7am we are socked in under heavy fog at 37F it's suppose to rain all day with it changing over to snow at some point and they are saying we may get an inch...that's great cause there is hardly any snow on the ground now. Brandi just left for work and I am with the kids until 3. I am thinking of using a personal day today its just too gross out there, I need to make my mind up! have a great day everyone! I just heard on the radio that today is suppose to be like the saddest day of the year...wth?? what will they come up with next.lol


Good morning, Dawg! Hope you stay safe and warm, whatever you decide to do!

Have a great day with the boys!

Well good morning! It is if your not on the road around these parts. It looks like a glazed doughnut outside at the moment. We are definitely getting a pretty good freeze outside at the moment, ice is hanging off of everything, the trees are all drooping over with all the weight on them and miniature ice cycles everywhere.... I'm staying put for a while this morning, maybe head into work, like around noonish, if, and I do say, if, things start to rise enough where my driveway is not a ski slope.....:-D

Stay safe---don't take a chance driving on ice, if you can help it. We were supposed to get frozen precip this morning, but happily the temps have stayed above freezing so far. Rain expected today, but we're going down to the teens tonight, so it will freeze later.

Thank you Merry. I'm playing it safe, right now the temperature is hovering around that 32 degree mark, where the main roads are in great shape, but the country bumpkin roads are like taking your life in your own hands.... I got a feeling that tonight will be fun with the re-freeze their calling for.... I'll be in the house here tonight, with the fireplace on and one of your blankets wrapped around me....

I love them, they seriously keep the body heat under them and when two people are under them, things can really start to heat up..... :lol: I mean keep you very warm.....LOL!!!:lol:
 
Hmmmmm, I may have to try that ship a pizza thing sometime. They also sell my latest favorite snack: Chicago style popcorn. My wife and I have really taken a liking to that since we tried it at Yankee Candle Village back in November.

Oh yum! Gotta love the popcorn too!! Some of that showed up in our Christmas exchange the same year as the pizza. Lol

Good evening Christmas Friends!

We got home a little while ago celebrating my 12 y/o b day with her friends. We did a hibachi dinner and now I have four 12 y/o sleeping in our basement for the
night. .hopefully they do not stay up too late! Lol

My oldest daughter is a Christmas baby so it always makes extra special for me. And so far she says she does not mind having a Christmas b day.

We are just watching football and relaxing...hope you all have a good night!

Hope the girls had a great time!!! How fun!

Good evening everyone. Busy day, lots of errands. I didn't get everything done but tomorrow's another day. Just read through today's posts quick. I'm going to turn in soon. I came down with a cold and I'm feeling pretty awful right now. Strange how it comes on so quick, I felt fine this morning. My husband resolved the problem with the heat, thank God! I'm glad I don't have to worry about that. It's so darn cold out. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you all. Hope everyone is well. Goodnight!
xx


Hope you are feeling better! I'm glad the furnace is fixed! Have a great day HMG!


Good Morning and Happy Sunday!
Just took a couple of cold pills, hoping they kick in soon. I have a couple of errands to run this morning. I plan on taking it easy this afternoon, hopefully nothing will come up and I'll be able to rest. Didn't sleep well again thanks to the cats and dogs. Maggie was coughing off and on and Molly wanted to go out twice. Then Bentley knocked my alarm clock off of my night table and scared me. And Sophia was sleeping across my neck again. That was cute when she was a few weeks old but she's growing like a weed and is over five pounds now. I wake up and feel like I'm being strangled, lol. I'm ready to lock them all out of my room at night. But I would never do that. Anyway, hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

You have painted quite the picture! cheesy

I got to worry about my grandfather, he's a hard head and never listens to me. He insists on throwing salt out on it or cleaning off his car just in case he needs to head out. I've talked to him about not going outside in that stuff until I was blue in the face, but it does no good. He just does it when I leave....What can you do????

Hmmmm, this sounds quite familiar....

Good morning gang ... Its a bright and sunny morning here but it sure is cold. We have to head outside later today to take down the outside Christmas Decorations. We may leave the snowman out there for a while longer. Spent the day at the mall yesterday with DH and the kids so the kids could use their gift cards they got for Christmas. This past year my daughter got hooked on The Nightmare Before Christmas and while we were walking around the mall she noticed several Nightmare before Christmas items in the windows of a store. DH and I will have a take a trip back there with out the kids and get a jump start on some Christmas Shopping for her :) I also noticed Hallmark has a 75% off mark down sign in their window. There is another Hallmark store that is a little out of the beaten path near work so I am going to stop by there on my lunch break tomorrow to see what kind of goodies I can get for next Christmas.

Hope everyone stays warm today ... Have a great day!

Nice to see ya Minta. Have a great day!

Cold and cloudy today. I'm not taking down my outdoor tree lights today after all. A friend of ours is coming over today, so we're leaving them up so he can see them. My indoor decorations are down, but I took a video of our Christmas tree because he wanted to see it. I also brought my ceramic Santa back up and put him on a side table for a little atmosphere. We'll meet our friend at a restaurant for lunch and then come back here to get caught up and watch some movies on the big screen. Just taking a break from straightening up the house to get caught up with you all.

Hope you had a nice visit!!
 
Hello everyone. I hope you all have a great Sunday!

Things are busy here. We have found a house for sale that we are considering. It is exciting but of course it means we would have to put ours on the market. So I'm making little improvements this weekend just in case.

On the bad news front Happy's dementia continues to worsen, even on the medicine. Yesterday was not a good day for him. :(

I hope you all enjoy your day!

Oh this breaks my heart! Praying the meds kick in soon & he has better days ahead! xx Prayers for all of you!

Good luck with the house decision!!!
 
Good morning, friends~

Good Morning Again, Buddy!!!!! I hope you have a good Monday and that you stay safe and warm too!!!!!! Thinking of you!!!

Merry Monday!

Hope everyone is well and coping with whatever life is throwing at you.

Strong gales up to 100mph sweeping across Britain these days. Some places got up to 125. I couldn't sleep at all on Friday night - It felt like the house was going to fly away at one point andthe howling sound was unnerving!

I have to do some work which means I will be on the computer. Fingers crossed I don't get distracted with MMC lol!

I arranged to have superbowl sunday of work. Mr festive has booked the Monday off work too so he doesn't have to worry about staying up late. Live coverage begins around 11pm for us. Looking forward to it!

Have a great start to your week all.

Ryan I just caught a glimpse but praying for Happy.

Stay safe in those winds!!!! That is great that you guys can stay up and watch the Super Bowl!!!

Have a great day, Festive!!!!!

Good morning, friends! How are you all doing? I'm well. Yesterday, we had to take the kids to Chuck-e-Cheese for a birthday party in the evening and by the time we got home, I laid down, and that's all it took! The kids must have laid down with me too! DH said they fell asleep with me and he got them to bed. I think I fell asleep around 8. Oh well, I must have needed it!

Anyway, we got some ice here this morning. It's not as bad as what I think they were calling for. DH is already at work and he said the roads seem to be fine. They did put the kids on a delay though. Our district does cover a pretty big area though, so they're probably just being cautious.

Well, I hope you all have a great day and stay safe out there! Keep warm!

Glad you were able to catch up on sleep and that you guys had fun yesterday!!!! Stay safe in the ice!!!

Have a great day, Friend!!!!!

Good Morning MMC !!

Good Morning, Star!!!!!

Chilly weather appears to be entrenched here and it looks like we will not see 50 again for some time to come.
Rain is falling as I type this and is supposed to continue through Thursday, possibly frozen at some point.
Argh!
We have commenced this 2nd full week of the new year at 41 rainy, sloppy degrees.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone.
(I will -- the Packers won!!)

Stay warm and have a great day, Crown!!!!!!!

Stay safe!!!! That's how it is just north of the city here.

Have a great day, Xmastidings!!!!!!!

Good morning MMC!! I'm hoping today is my day to get caught up on posts ~ I thought I could yesterday, but the day slipped away!!

Happy Monday! BIG night tonight....it's going to be a late night ~ National Championship Game...


GO BUCKS!!!!

Good Morning, Holiday!!!! Good luck getting caught up!!! Go Bucks!!!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a wet, dreary morning today, but we could always use some rain. Mrs. Hilda continues to improve, and I hope they decide to move her to a closer hospital for physical therapy, maybe by the end of the week. *fingers crossed*

We got some good news here at work late last week, and I'm hoping we all reap some of the benefits soon. I don't want to jinx it, so I'll stop there.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Glad to hear that Mrs. Hilda is continuing to improve!!!! I hope they can move her soon. She remains in my daily prayers.

Hope the good news works out for all of you!!!! Have a great day, Brad!!!!!

Ooh, pecan chicken. I bet that was amazing!!! I liked Cookie Cutter Christmas but it's not at the top of the list. Cute though! Of course it's cute - because it's Hallmark! :smile:

Hope you guys love the chicken!!!!!!!! Have a great afternoon and stay safe, Holiday!!!!!!!!

It was good - maybe too much lemon though. I'll probably make it again...

Yes....I got some serious major deals today while shopping at the mall with Victoria today.

I got this great looking Santa:

Have a good day and good luck babysitting!
