Had a great visit with an older cousin of mine who will be visiting with my parents for a week or so. He's hoping to hang around for my mom's surgery on the 15th of the month.

You may recall, I was concerned about her health for several months. A team of doctors dicussed her case and although the biopsy and tests seem to reveal that there is no more cancer in her colon, they're thinking the cells are there based on her condition and not showing up so they're going to remove part of her colon as a precaution. She seems to be handling it well and isn't worried at all about the procedure. "Better safe than sorry", she says.

Cleaning the fridge and stove this afternoon and just taking a moment to check in and wish you all a very merry Sunday.

Haven't spotted any Christmas trees thrown to the curb yet, that's when it hits me that the season has come to a close for most people. Going to take a drive during the week and grab some photos before the outdoor decorations come down.

My parents are leaving their tree up until Jan. 6th. I'm keeping some special ornaments and my Christmas music boxes out during the year for merry company.

Stay jolly, my friends!

Prayers for you mum Aunty. I hope everything goes well. Good idea about keeping a couple things out.

Good afternoon everyone!
Just thought I'd pop in to say hello, I have a few minutes to myself. I haven't had much alone time lately. It's not a bad thing lol, just haven't been able to post as much as I would like. My two oldest are working and my husband took my youngest car shopping. I'm having a cup of coffee, looking at some items on eBay. I've had my eye on a few items and decided to buy a couple of things, thought I'd share the pictures. My family doesn't appreciate them as much as I do but I know you guys will.
Two sets of vintage salt & pepper shakers. Winking Santas ~

And these cute poinsettia girls ~

And these kissing angel figurines ~

I just love anything vintage. Can't wait to get them!
We're heading back to my parents house today, they wanted to have us for dinner. I'm going to run to the bakery in a few minutes to pick up something for dessert. I'll pop back in tonight!

Those are great, congrats on your eBay finds.

I keep my snow globe out all year on my computer desk at home. It just is a nice little reminder.

I keep a number of my Santas on display in my room year round. I also have a small leg lamp as my reading lamp next to my side of the bed.

Home from work early but not due to good circumstances. You won't believe the day I've had!!!!! I want to say more and would have if it was just you guys but it's a public forum.

My building was evacuated. A threat was made last Sunday apparently just after I finished work. My colleagues told me when I got in this morning so I was uneasy knowing what happened.

Then it happened all over again this evening. HORRIBLE! I am still shaking. This time we have been told even less.

My building is a historical landmark and it's always a worry.
So happy to be here safe with my family.

Sorry to hear that, I am glad you are home safe.

I keep my animated Christmas clock out year round, on my dresser.

Well not the best day today my Jets lost and gave up the playoff spot they could have had. My mom and sister had a huge fight in the car and I was the 3rd person and didn't say a word. That's so awkward but I really hate fighting with people and I didn't want to add to it. Oy.

Good Afternoon.... Hubby and I just finished taking down the outside Christmas lights and decorations however we are leaving our icicle lights, light up reindeer and snowman out until the beginning of March. Its to dreary to take all the lights downs right after Christmas so a few years ago we starting leaving "Winter" lights up and on.

Yesterday we scored more red bows and Christmas ornaments for 75% off going to check out the stores near my work during my lunch breaks this week to see what other deals I can find. Speaking of work .. today is my last day of my vacation, enjoyed the last 2 weeks off.

Well I am going to work on dinner. Hope everyone has a great night!

That stinks, sorry to hear that.

There's always next year for the Jets...and there's always tomorrow for my mom and sis to get over their fight. I've always said 2 females fighting is far worse and scarier than 2 men fighting. You guys go at it!

Thanks Prancer. I just really hate people fighting. I guess that I'm too passive. I think that the only person I really fight with is myself lol.
