Christmas Countdown - 2018

[snowflake22]

Good Morning. I'm here early on MMC today as you can see. I got my coffee, the kitties have all be loved, scratched and played with and I'm all ready to go to work, except, I have no pants to wear.....
I put them in the washing machine last night, I forgot about them and went to bed. This morning, I got them out of the washer and shook them (oh so wrinkled) and I threw them into the dryer. lol, I'm hoping that they dry in time and that they don't look like a scrunched up newspaper when I pull them out.

It's still raining here, "Really"!, we go from nothing to everything. I see on the Weather channel, that there is a lot flooding going on up and down the East coast now. Prayers going out to anyone effected by this mess.

It Thursday, one more day and then it's the last weekend in July! How about that, the month just blew by and we will be in August next week. How cool is that huh? We are getting closer and closer to the Ber's!!! Yea!!!!

Sorry to hear about your weather, hope there’s more of a balance soon!
Hugs to Ariel & Shiloh. Hope they are back to their curious & playful selves!
Hope you have a great day ahead!!

That is horrible, Martine-sorry it happened to you guys. I wouldn’t give them a dime, either.

Adrian & I now back up our photos to an external drive as well. Not as often as we should though. I have so many on my phone that I need to go through. I went to Walgreens to print a photo awhile back, and had a heck of a time finding it

I currently have 2247 photo's on my phone...

In all of that, Thank God that you were not there! And when you did get home, you got out of there immediately. I know this is very late, but I am so sorry for you and Adi to of haven to go thru an experience as that, that is just so terrible.

Thank you, it was a scary time.
Glad it’s behind us.

Good Morning, friends~

Merry Friday Eve!!

It’s going to be a sunny, beautiful Fall-like day. We are currently at 58 degrees, with a high of 69 degrees.
It’ll warm up again in a few days, this is a nice break.

I am downing coffee this morning. Jazzie had me up just about the entire night. She worked herself up about storms, when we only got rain early in the evening. It was done by the time we went to bed. She kept looking at the window-no lightning or thunder-shook, cried, and got sick all night long.
I got about 30 minutes of sleep, and have a big day ahead at work.

Tonight is the neighborhood party~
Perfect weather for it.

My parents landed safely in Minneapolis last night, and they were taking a shuttle to La Crosse. They should’ve gotten home around midnight.

Bring on the weekend!!

Wishing you all a fabulous day ahead!!

I hope your day goes well & you are able to catch a nap before the party tonight! Have fun!!!!

Yes, about 10.5 years ago already.
It was before our wedding, in our new house/neighborhood (in Las Vegas).
They kicked in our front door-frame was everywhere inside our house. Nails were tiny . Needless to say we bought huge nails, and put on a security door.
There was no such thing as a safe neighborhood there.
Anyways, they made off with all of our collectibles, family jewelry, electronics, laptop, even stole bedding of our bed to get it all out.
I came home to find the house like that, and I heard a noise upstairs so they could’ve still been inside. I ran out and called the cops. Vegas CSI showed up. Told us to get protection, an alarm, and a dog. We got all three.
The only thing they didn’t get was my engagement ring, since it was on my finger, and our wedding bands that I had wrapped up in the dresser. They had gone through the dresser, so we are lucky that they missed them. Our wedding was a couple short months later . Also unfortunate was everything on our laptop, including a video that Adrian had put together for our wedding reception. He had spent countless hours on it. Things you can’t replace.

So scary!! And so glad you were ok!!! But sorry for all you lost!

 

[snowflake22]

Oh no, of all the days, you have to pull an RFP together. I will say a prayer for you my friend and I hope and wish that you can get though it successfully and get yourself back home to get some sleep; you need it!

Thank you for the thoughts & prayer, friend~

 

[snowflake22]

Have a great day, SF!
Hope you get some rest before your party starts!


Wow that is scary!! I am so glad you guys were not home but terrible you lost all those things.


Thanks, Crown!! Have a great day!

Thank you, SFM!

Oh Snowflake, how horrible. I can’t even imagine. I’m so sorry you and Adrian went through that.
And I’m really sorry you didn’t get any sleep last night. I hope you’re still able to have a good day. You’ll be in my thoughts my friend.

Morning MMC! It looks like the humidity is still here at 95% this morning. Got a chocolate croissant for breakfast and iced coffee. Trying to enjoy this 4 day break. And try to catch up on some things that I haven't had time to do lately. One of those is to watch a few Christmas shows of course. Have a great Thursday!

Enjoy your long weekend!!!

Good Morning MMC !!

lovely morning here, sun shine, not to hot.
enjoying some time at home organizing, cleaning and getting some projects done.
Nephew coming over later to put new battery in the car. ( my daughters car)

In August I will be doing my first ever 30 day art challenge. It is put out by the facebook group "Thriving Christian Artists". We are given a topic every day to do in what ever medium we choose, so mine will all be done in sugar art. Then we post the pictures to share what we created. This will be a great challenge for me to think outside the box and learn to express myself better.

I lied earlier when I said there wasn't much up for today besides work. At lunch I am getting a house guest for the weekend. Miss Piper...my niece's dog! It's going to be interesting!! I hope Lucy doesn't eat her!!!!!!!!

Aww....what a cutie! I am sure her and Lucy will be fine!

 

[snowflake22]

I did pretty good until I started doing scrapbooking. Then it took so much time, I got so far behind...and I've never picked it up again! I save all my photos to Shutterfly & Amazon prime. I also have 2 back up drives....but I have to admit, I haven't used them for awhile!!!! Sorry to hear you lost your photo's!

I can imagine, It’s hard to keep up in this day & age. We take so many photos with our phones.
Scrapbooking is so neat! I never dipped my fingers into it, but have always admired the results.

Thank you~
