Hope that your daughter feels better soon, friend. Prayers for her.Hello MMC...Merry Tuesday! Just working today and my oldest daughter is home sick with the stomach bug. She was up a few times last night and did not feel 100% this morning so she stayed home from school. It is very cold here..I think we finally got hit with winter! I am going to try to go to the gym today...I am in full Operation Slimdown mode..Really just trying to make better food choices and get back into exercising on a regular basis!
Have a great day all!
Enjoy your afternoon!
Thank you
3 hours at the ER is finally over.
The finger was broken.
Makes me angry at the teacher throwing the ball.
He didnt even care that she was hurt, never asked her if she was okay.
Even though she was crying.
My poor girl.
Now we are grabbing some late dinner before driving home.
We are starwing!
I'm sorry to hear that, friend.Thank you

Hugs to you both <3
I'd be very upset with the teacher, too.
Hope it heals quickly, and that the discomfort lessens each day.
Enjoy your dinner =]

I try to avoid that kind of stuff when I can, but popcorn MUST have butter & salt!
And sprinkle a little grated parmesan cheese on top of that, please ... mmmm.
Thank you

HEY GUYS!!! (Yes it's my Pittsburgh-ian plural for everyone in the room)
I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!
No one else would get why this is a big deal except for this forum, but for the past 18 years I have been searching for a particular Christmas album that was released in 1972. My mother bought it new way back then in the cassette tape version. When we moved to Florida, I was so disappointed and disheartened, particularly at Christmas, that I began playing it in my room at night as I was falling asleep.
When Christmas was over that year, I asked if I could keep it in my room and continue playing it. I remember my mother thinking I was crazy to want to continue playing it past Christmas, but by then it came to be a peaceful solace for me. So whenever I was missing my grandparents, aunt and uncles, home, snow, weather, seasons, school, friends... you name it... I played it while falling asleep. I think in the long run, it became a self-hypnosis of sorts. LOL The more I listened, the more of a Christmas-aholic I became. I kept it through college, into my first apartment, through every move.... you get the picture. It was old and I treasured it. When I got my first stereo system that allowed me to back up a cassette tape, I did so, to protect the original. It became so cherished to me, I only played it on Christmas Eve for fear of the tape breaking.
In 1998, two years after we were married, we had a bad hurricane come through and our house flooded. The cassette tape was at the bottom of an entertainment center cabinet along with other holiday CDs and such. Floor level - with the rest of the watery muck - it was ruined. I was crushed.
It wasn't until after that I realized I never really paid attention to the finite details of the album. I thought it was Time Life books or Reader's Digest who had published it. I knew for sure it was copyrighted in 1972 and the album picture I knew like the back of my hand. All those years I thought the album name was Christmas Magic. I started an internet search. Every once in a while I'd look for it hoping to find a copy, but it seemed hopeless.
Today for no particular reason, in between projects, I decided to just go through Google Images after putting in "Christmas Magic, 1972" Way down on the 8th page of images, I saw it!! The jpeg of the album cover!! It was an ebay item that was sold, but the cover images showed me that the name was "The Magic of Christmas," it was 1972, but the publisher was Columbia House Music! Back to Google - I put that in and found the vinyl album (turns out it was 3 albums in one set, I never knew that), on a collector's site store on Amazon in "Like New Condition," still in the plastic sleeve, records look flawless in the images! I bought it!!!!
It'll be here in two days!! Noah has a stereo system in his room that plays vinyls and records them to mp3s! I am so excited!!! I can have one of my favorite memories of Christmas back, on my cloud drive to access from anywhere and keep the vinyls in tact! I am on Cloud 9!!!
Yes - I'm that goofy. LOL

Evening everyone, hope Tuesday finds you all well. Home for an hour from work then heading to a meeting so I'm shovelling dinner into me. Diet started today so probably for the best I've no time. On a much brighter note a got 6 Christmas tree decorations in the sale at lunch time. Hurrah.
I know, right?!
And thank you =)
I had to "break" the brake news to Adi last night, after I dropped off our earnest money check, and he deposited money into our retirement funds. I had to preface it with, I know we've had to spend a lot of money today, but...
His face:
But after the pain wore off, we laughed because it's just things that have to be done- they always hit at once!
It's true. We look at those things the same too because at the end of the day - it's not the end of the world
Delicious!
Brilliant, what a find!
Nah you're not goofy. You're awesome cause you are a big Christmas fan like we are. I'm glad you found it. Let us know when you get it how it is!

Sometimes PCBs are like yanking off a band-aid---the longer you delay in letting Christmas go, the worse the prospect seems. I can see why bad PCBs could drive you to going cold turkey. For me, PCBs hurt awfully for a while, but there comes a time when it feels okay to let go of Christmas and get ready for the next one. It's always a wrench to wean off the Christmas music and pack away the trees and ornaments; so many memories come to the surface that, in the end, there's a bit of relief when the packing away is done. This weekend will be when the trees come down and the last of the decs get packed away. I'm debating leaving the outside lights for a while---but electricity rates being what they are (and they're due to rise again), I will probably shut them off after tonight, as it's Twelfth Night.
This has brightened my evening so much! I fully understand the sentiment behind it and I am elated for you!!!!!!!!!!
That is awesome!!! So happy for you!!!
What wonderful memories, joy, and solace it will bring you
I am glad to hear that Xander! I am feeling better about letting Christmas go with each day and I am actually looking forward now to everything this year has yet to unfold.
TrueIt's true. We look at those things the same too because at the end of the day - it's not the end of the world
