Boy oh boy, I have to start the day here today. Why, because it’s been in the forefront of my life for the past 12 hours! WHY?

I’m telling you, at times, a honest fella just can’t win for losing.

I gotta a MMC Christmas card in the mail, which I didn’t get out of the mailbox till Sunday. I opened it and it was from a member here, that was signed “Merry Christmas, love, xxxxx”.

Well, I didn’t think anything of it. That is, until my wife saw it and she blew a head gasket. She saw that the card was signed by a single woman. Man, I’ve been hearing it off and on since yesterday, and again first thing this morning.

Of course, I knew my wife loved me, I knew that, but I didn’t know she was very jealous of me, when it came to other women, until that card came.

I have been interrogated multiple times now, she went on MMC to check out the site, and I had to get rid of the card. Plus, if I receive any more Christmas cards from any more single women, they must be destroyed. Receiving them from married women with return labels Mr and Mrs blah, blah, blah is ok and, as well as several super close friends here, is allowed also.

But wow, I didn’t know wheather to be proud, insulted or what... all I know is that I’m not allowed to send one back to that person or any other single females here. Truthfully, I don’t know of any single females here. She believes that a married man should not be receiving Christmas cards from any single woman, signed “Love .....”! It’s not proper to do so.

Oh man, talk about something completely out of your control, that without watching where I was going, I stepped on a yellow jackets nest!!!

Boy, she must really love me.

So Jeff, Brad and Mark, please don’t sign your Christmas card to me with “Love”!
Lol....

Lol!!! Darn it!! I was thinking to myself that I’d do exactly that too.

Good Morning, MMC!! It’s been a crazy couple of days here. It seems like I spent all day yesterday at my aunts house while Comcast switched her over from AT&T. I think that was the slowest I’ve ever seen a tech move. I was so bored I dug out my aunts outdoor Christmas decorations and decorated her yard since she hadn’t yet. Ella was not happy being blocked in the kitchen during it either. I need to run several errands today now that I didn’t get done yesterday. Then hopefully I can start wrapping tonight. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Good morning, MMC! I slept better today - got up a little after 5 am. I'm hoping to get a nap in at some point - I work tonight at 7. I've been talking with one of my best friends, who is also the nurse practitioner I see - I've been having a lot of issues with my sleep and various other medical issues, which could be sleep deprivation related. She thinks I could have shift work sleep disorder. I've never heard to it before until I did some research, but this could be very well what is going on. I'm to have some blood work done to help diagnosis. I'm praying once I eventually go daylight, that will help.

Not much planned for today. We have our niece again and DH is off, so we plan on trying to get some wrapping done. I want to start baking later this week, so I've gotta get some wrapping done too. We got our Christmas pictures done on Saturday, so I soon as I have them back, I can order Christmas cards and get them sent out.

I hope you all have a great Tuesday! I'm thinking of all you, especially SFM, Holiday, and Xmastidings. Praying that you get good results today, SFM.

What is this strange "wrapping" thing you speak of? Between my wife, son, & I the Mystery Room (a garage many decades ago) is full of promising parcels in various forms of brown packaging.

Good morning MMC!! Merry Tuesday!! Same ol, same ol here - old job this morning, new job later. It's so dreary again outside. Looks like it should be snowing - wish it would!

I saw this book at the grocery store last night & I just had to buy it. It's super cute! (Yep, I'm a big kid at heart! ) Made me smile!

Geez - I started this message a long time ago & got side tracked with work, so I guess I'll go ahead & send now!

Have a great day MMC!

DD got that book when she was in early elementary school. It was cute!

The local Christmas parades were supposed to be last Saturday but were postponed until this Saturday because of rain. Now there is 90% chance of rain this Saturday. DD is in high school band & was looking forward to marching in the parade, but the instruments can't get wet. DH has two Christmas movies that are must sees for him: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation & White Christmas. We still need to watch White Christmas so we need to find a free night for three of us! I'm looking forward to our 25th wedding anniversary trip in two weeks. We're taking a few days off in Pigeon Forge. DD will spend that time between both sets of grandparents. We all need some down time from work & school, so I'll be glad for a couple of weeks of refreshment for DD. Being 13 and in middle school shouldn't be so stressful...

I hope everyone is able to find at least a little time to relax and enjoy the next three weeks---three weeks from today is Christmas Day!

Good Morning, Good Friends.

The Season.
It's slipping away as fast as Christmas Day is coming!

Behold:
Days to Christmas Day: 21
You read that right.
THREE WEEKS from today we will be celebrating Christmas Day.
(Happy Holidays, indeed!)

One grand, final warm day yesterday.
We will now be entering a long cold spell that will see lows in the 20's and 30's with highs in the 40's and 50's.
(It doesn't pay to get used to warm weather this time of the rolling year!)
Our current temperature is 44 degrees, but at least it is sunny.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone!

Thanks for the update Crown.

Good afternoon MMC. Been suffering with a cold here that the kids caught at school and decided they need to share it with us. Wish I could stop sneezing and snorting. Stay warm

I mostly post in the Christmas Talk section, and I have not posted in a while because everything has been just so busy with the kids activities, trying to get ready for holidays right after the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving. But I LOVE it all! I only have 8 more days at work, then off until after New Year's! Yayy. All of our decorating is finished except our master bedroom tree which I will do tonight since we're still on leftovers for dinner. Love being able to watch Hallmark channel while decorating, it makes the decorating so much fun and festive!

Merry Tuesday, Mom21 and welcome to the Countdown!

Merry Tuesday!

Spent the several hours at the library today working on a project and updating my computer. It was nice as there was no one else using the WI-FI so I was able to get quite a bit of things done that needed doing and done fast.

Sent the first batch of the MMC Christmas cards out today and received a small batch in the mail today. Such fun!

Yesterday I watched White Christmas. Love that movie!

Have a merry rest-of-the-day!

Our local theater is showing it next Wednesday (sponsored by TCM), and we have tickets—-it’s going to be amazing to see it on the big screen!

Glad you were able to get things done at the library. Whenever I am at our local library I see so many people on the computers especially in the teen part of the library

Tonight will be Carolina's first night sleeping in her bug girl bed. I am hoping she stays in it all night. It's higher than she's used to. So far she is still laying there awake so I can't hide her elf yet. Tomorrow is my long day at work. I work from open to close and then work on Thursday morning

That's a great movie, one of my favorites! Snow...….

I hope you get some rest! I worked at night shift for one week to help a friend out here at work, and it was the worst week I can remember LOL.

Man, me too! I did that kind of thing, when I working at Bethlehem Steel company as a Maintenance Millwright. I'd work doubles and triples and then switch it all around, and for awhile there, I didn't know what day it was or if I was coming or going. Nope, never again.
