GOOD MORNING, MMCERS!
It might be Wednesday, it might be the middle of the workweek, it might be super hot outside...but none of that should get us down today!

Why?

Because it's MILESTONE DAY!

HAPPY 100 DAYS TO THE SEASON!!!

If you can't tell by my overuse of smiles, I'm EXCITED! I hope you are, too.

Here are the numbers, in case you needed more proof:

Days to the Season: 100
Days to Christmas Day: 142

Tomorrow, we'll be in the double digits!!! Another milestone!

Hope everyone has a great day today--it's going to be hot here, but hopefully cooler by the end of the week.

See you at the Pines tonight! We can dress Carl up in lights!

Woohoo!!! I love milestone days!!

Good Morning MMC !

wow, Wednesday already, this week is flying by.
Work again ..yeah !!! I love my job and am grateful these days to have one.

My sons dental work is turning out to cost less than expected because they can do a partial denture instead of a tooth replacement. Still expensive but only a third of what the other would cost. So grateful for this.

Excited that we are at the 100 days till the season mark already !!
and add to that it is party at the Pines tonight !!!! Of course that also means Carl will have something, um, well, special for us all.

Hope you all have a fantastic day !!!

Have a great day at work, Star!! Glad to hear your Son found a cheaper option!!

Thanks snowflake. She seemed fine this morning. I gave her 1/4 cup of food with her meds & that seemed to stay down ok & she seemed hungry so I gave her another 1/4 cup. I'll go home to check on her around 9:00 & see how she is doing & call the vet to see what they think.

That's good to hear!! I hope she was still doing okay when you checked on her!!

I woke up after only sleeping for an hour last night and the song, "Wonderful Christmas Time" was playing in my head as I examined a beautiful musical ornament that I do not own or remember ever seeing in person. It had a Thomas Kinkade meets Dr. Seuss feel to it. It was a snowy mountain with a North Pole sign on top and five different coloured presents ran down the snowy path to a sleigh, up the back end and back down the front. When I woke up for the second time (the first time I didn't really wake up I was still dreaming), I thought about the ornament and the song and realized that the dream was caused by all the fun and merriment that's been taking place on these forum pages over the years.
I love it when I have dreams about Christmas and who else would want to hear about them than my merry chums who totally understand how I can dream Christmas things in August.

Keep a merry thought in your head!

Sounds like a great dream, Auntie!!! Hope you have a wonderful Pines day!!

Good Morning everyone.
Happy Wednesday!

This morning I feel like I'm moving in quick sand. Last night's exercise class was brutal and it was more like a friendlier version of boot camp. I walked (ok, I crawled away) with as much dignity as I could muster. Afterward stopped into Walmart with my friend and didn't intend on buy much of anything and spent 54 bucks. Not my plan at all. I thought I could just let Buttercup out the back yard for the night to do her business but she wasn't having any of that and I had to walk her but lucky my oldest daughter saw how slowly I was moving and decided to go with us and she ended up walking her while I scooped her poop. Normally, I would say I got the raw end of that deal but at least I wasn't being pulled in one direction while my body wanted to head into another (home). I didn't throw my phone out the window this morning when my 4:45 am alarm went off for my daily speed walk with my buddy. I got through it. Took my time getting ready for work and now I'm here in my office hoping and praying I won't have to get up and down to much. Otherwise it's gonna be a wonderful Wednesday, LOL!!!!

I hope everyone had a great night and hope we all have a great day!

I need a nap after just reading this!! LOL!! Hope they take it easy on you at work today!!

Have a great day, LadybugKisses!!!

Good morning everyone!
Happy Milestone Day! How exciting!
Not too much going on here this morning. I straightened up the house and started working on the laundry so far. My youngest has off from work today so we're going to grab lunch and do some shopping together. I'm going to stop at the pasta store while we're out to pick up fresh raviolis for dinner for my husband and the girls. It will be chicken and veggies for me since I'm trying to lose a few pounds. I'll squeeze my workout in later this evening, that time seems to be good for me. Mornings are kind of busy getting everyone up and out. That's about it for me. Hope everyone is well and has a great day!

Have fun with your daughter, HMG!!! Those ravioli sound good!!!

Is anyone else upset that Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy broke up?

They WHAT?!??? Where did you hear/see this?

I always thought that was a bit one-sided, anyway. I have a Muppet Show on video where Kermit is singing a calypso song: "Bib and napkin, knife and fork / Is the only way that I'll touch pork ..." Then, I believe, Miss Piggy beats him up.

Hope today is less scary and that you get out of work on time!!!

Thank you!
Several of us at the office (including me) found hailstone dimples on our cars, once we saw them in the daylight today. So it was some storm. The building windows leaked, too---I had to jump to take stuff off the windowsill before it got rained on. Today is supposed to be a lot calmer, weather-wise. (Work-wise, who knows.)

I wanted to catch up tonight before I posted this but it looks like I have a lot of catching up to do, which is awesome! I love chatty Christmas people!
We had such a nice night at moms tonight – almost everybody left before dark except my husband, my brother-in-law, and my brother… And people say women Gossip– they are wrong, men are worse! Ha ha ha! My brothers wife and my niece ended up showing up later -We had so much fun and mom really enjoyed it! But then I got home around 10:30 and Gracie had about seven puke piles on our floor!
Her new prescription food costs $66 per 16 pound bag from the vet, which lasts about 3 1/2 weeks – I found it online for $55 per bag and I had a $15 coupon for that website. I called the vet and they said that was fine to try it and they would approve the prescription but we should watch for it making her sick or any changes… she had half a cup of that at lunch and one cup tonight… I'm really hoping that the new food is what it is -I hope it's just the food and I will not give her that anymore and I will get it from the vet! UGH! I could puke myself! Thankfully she seems totally fine now!

Would you stay with someone who karate chops you constantly. I have a Miss Piggy doll in a bright bathing suit with a floral hat, hot pink cocktail gloves and orange high heels sitting on a small wired-gold chair. O'Malley the cat never touches it. Aside from cleaning it now and then, Miss Piggy has had the same place of honour since we moved in here. I imagine she came to life once and karate chopped the cat so now he doesn't go near her.

I wouldn't either! Poor O'Malley!

 

[snowflake22]

Well some guys just like that kind of thing. LOL!!!

Ha ha!
