See you in the morning, goodnight!
20 minutes to go! Man, I forgot how excited I get for these Charlie Brown specials...the holiday season is arriving tonight for me!!!! Christmas music from my early season favorite on in the background and preparing to give my sister a call in just a few! It's going to be absolutely lovely! When does the season REALLY start coming for you? The tv special tonight is absolutely making it feel real for me! I'm bursting with holiday spirit!
Well I try to technically start the season along with MMC officially on Nov 13th. Like snowflake said though I pretty much think about or get excited for Christmas all year...that's probably why I'm on this website.
It was fun...awesome.Watching it right now!!
Congrats on the cars!!!!Hey, y'all! It's been crazy-busy, and this is the first chance I've had to check in.
Nancy and I went crazy Saturday, too. We dropped Elizabeth off at Nutcracker practice, then messed around and traded her car...and bought Jacob one, too!
We've been needing to get Jacob a car. He starts college in less than a year. Anyway, we rode past a dealership that had his dream car in the used lot, so we stopped. Long story short, after several hours, we traded Nancy's Tahoe for a new Nissan Altima, and used the difference to buy Jacob a slightly-used 2015 Dodge Challenger! They're both great cars, but that Challenger is AWESOME!
I've never bought two cars in the same day before, but it really worked out good for us. Maybe Jacob will let me ride with him on occasion.
That night, Nancy woke me up at 2am, worried if we had done the right thing. Grrr! I think she's over it now. There's something about that new car smell that make it easier to justify LOL.
I hope y'all have a great day!
Hi everyone. This is a tough post to make. I wanted to share my thoughts with you because I am deeply troubled by what I have been witnessing these past couple of evenings. I have been watching my wife's grandfather slowly die....Morbid, sad, comforting, relief, confused and just don't know what to think; "computing - computing - computing....." are just a few thoughts and words that are all running thru my mind to the point where my brain is starting to feel numb.
I love him and respect him as though he was my real grandfather (he was to me...) Grandpop and Grandmom always treated me with kindness, respect and with open arms, and was one of the first to welcome me into their fold; my wife's family.... We lost Grandmom about 15 years ago from a heart attack and now I'm watching grandpop slowly go....
I watch everyone, my MIL, my wife, my FIL and the love that they show, give and hold for grandpop is almost overwhelming to me. Brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat.
But this process of him being in a Hospice, dying slowly, while I'm watching him holding on to life, one breath at a time is eating me up on the inside. When he became ill, the only way to fix him, would of been to put him thru a very rough surgery with 6-7 weeks of a feeding tube in him. He has dementia, arthritis so bad, he cannot grasp anything, walk or go to the bathroom by himself. He cannot dress himself, barely feed himself, etc... My MIL said no to the surgery since he was 94 years old. My wife and I supported her and her decision. And, now here we are, one week later. It could be tonight, tomorrow night, who knows, only God does when he will be ready to take him through the pearly gates of heaven.
But for me, right now at this moment, watching something that I have never seen before has got me all messed up in the head, heart and soul. It's just so very hard to watch......and accept!

Thinking of you at this time. Life is a terribly overwhelming, solemn thing at times.
That would be nice. They are the only one of my favorite teams to have not won a championship (ever) recently. My Bruins won the Cup in 2011, and of course the Red Sox in '04, '07, and '13.
We are here for you, you and your family are in my thoughts,
That is a good fight to lose, friend.
That is great, love classic Mickey.
Ive started my decorating guys..Just a little..Just a little lol
I have to say Christmas, just because it seems to have the best story of the 3.
Halloween is #2, I don't like the filler with the Red Baron part.
Thanksgiving, the "Little Birdie" bit just kills it for me.
I do enjoy watching all 3 though.
Good evening, Happy Taco Tuesday!!!

I find it so hard to spend time here lately, Never have a chance to get here until after 9pm with all that we have to get done, kids homework, laundry, dinner, dishes, showers, bedtime/reading to the kids. Makes for long evenings.
Not much else really going on here, just stepped on one of the boys toys and it got embedded into my foot, that really hurt, especially when you realize it is still stuck to your foot when you lift your foot.
On that note, I need some shuteye.
Goodnight, everyone.

Not much we can say or do, other than to let you know we are all thinking about you, and hoping that you and your family can find strength at this terrible time.
Thats pretty awesome HMG!!! The early models are the best.
