Funny, I'm not a big Amy Grant fan..but I do love this song. I realize I may be naive, but I wish for same things she does in this song. Just look at the faces of the children in the video..think of your family and friends...don't you wish for these things too? What's on your Grown Up Christmas List?

ReplyDeleteMorning Glories!
ReplyDeleteZona I guess my wish this Christmas is for all of the people in our government to quit thinking about themselves or just the people in their little corner of the world and get off their ass and think about all of the people they represent all Americans! Because everything they do affects all of us.
That is it. Once they do that our economy and job outlook would be just fine.
Just my 2 cents.

ReplyDeleteYou two crack me up...
ReplyDeleteLynnD Congrats.....
Scirish... Almost!!!
Good morning all...
another busy day today...
yesterday we only had 94 UPS packages...
we had a wall of packages...
fed ex had a few... but nothing like that...
waving a wing at all who land today...
have a great day!!!
My Grown Up Christmas List is similar to Lynndeeee's, except I wish that people in general would think more about others. So many times, I see people so wrapped up in their own lives and problems, that they don't stop and think of, much less help, others. I know a lot of people on this blog volunteer but this doesn't seem to be the norm anymore.I realize that people have become more cynical and distrustful of the large organizations, but whatever happened to neighbors helping neighbors when there was a crisis? If you have ever read or heard stories about the Great Depression, many people survived it due to the help and kindness of people that didn't have much more than they did. I don't know why this type of kindness rarely exists anymore, but wouldn't we be much better off if it did?
ReplyDeleteGood morning LYNN, SCIRISH & IBEBOLD.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see an It's a Wonderful Life moment in the world. Can you imagine this world if we all looked out for each other? I think our feet wouldn't even touch the ground. Thank you ZONA for your video.
SHIRLEY, You better stay alert today. :)
SLIN, I am not really up and awake.
ReplyDeleteMorning Lynndeee, IBB and lani....I'm not really awake either, but I wonder if it's possible to sleep on your BOOB wrong????
ReplyDeleteMary/MI..... Happy Birthday!!!!!
ReplyDelete*Off Topic Mini Rant*
ReplyDeleteOk, so I got a MP3 player for my Birthday and spend a good part of yesterday afternoon trying to get the music THAT I PAID FOR out of my itunes library onto the MP3 player. Apparently you cannot move the tunes that you PAID FOR on any other MP3 player except an ipod! WTF??? I PAID for them...I should be able to put them whereever the hell I want! I am about to tell itunes where to put them and it does NOT involve an MP3 player!!!
OMG, Zona, this is too funny! Just this weekend, Mr Whabbear and I declared this our "official 2008 Christmas song"! We love it! And since it gets ample airplay on KOIT, the Bay Area's self-styled "Official Christmas Station", we had no sooner made our declaration to each other on Sunday afternoon, hopped into the car to head to the Lone Star, tuned the radio to KOIT, only to hear it playing!
ReplyDeleteMy Christmas wish is for the owls: that we have a more prosperous and healthy 09 than we're expecting; that we experience LESS than our fair share of illness and depression and tragedy; that we're all still here and active in the nest at this time next year.
Morning Zona! Was that you baking cookies all night? No wonder I couldn't sleep!
ReplyDeleteI am not an Amy Grant listener either, but my sister is. She bought a Christmas CD of Amy's a long time ago and this song was on it. Actually the whole CD was nice. She has a very nice voice.
I don't usually make Christmas lists, but if I did I guess I would want everyone everywhere to just respect the feelings of others.
I was going to say "that's my 2 cents" like Lynn D did but here in Canada with the exchange rate I guess it would only be 1 and 1/2 cents :)
Good morning and congrats on 1st Lynn D!
ReplyDeleteGood morning also to Scirish, IBB, Lani and Whabbear!
Oh Lani!! You might want to check your comments over on MS. Just sayin'!!
I forgot.
ReplyDelete♪♪Happy Birthday Mary♪♪
It's 29 right?
Ohhhh Boy it is a whopping 12 degrees on my porch this morning! The dogs bucket of water outside is frozen solid! I guess I will have to break it apart so they can have some ice cookies!
ReplyDeleteYes Scrishy I think you can sleep on your boob wrong! LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEARRRRRR MARY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
I agree with everyones Christmas wish list!
Hugs to everyone!
Good Morning Hooters!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on beating scrishy Lynn! :)
Great video Zona- not huge on Amy Grant either, but love this.
My grown up wish is selfish. I want my kids and family to arrive for Christmas from their various destinations on time and safely. My son for CA, other son from MN, nephew from ND with brand new grand-niece, and assorted other relatives from IL.
I also wish for world peace, the economy to get better, all our owls to be safe and happy and to win the lottery. I don't think thats asking too much, do you??
Happy Birthday Mary!!
Shirely, you cracked me up with the exchange rate!
Good morning ladies and Gentleman!
ReplyDeleteJust popping in before heading out shopping. We are supposed to get hit with a lot of snow after 2:00 so I better run.
Thanks for the Birthday greetings!
I will check back in later....
Almost forgot..

scirish~ i guess you could sleep on your boob wrong....but why were you sleeping on him to begin with?
good morning Lani, bear, goldie and Mek~
Shirley~ omg....you made me laugh in area 51~
Zona~ I think my wish for xmas would be that everyone everywhere has the same opportunity that I do to be the best crackwhore ever~
Mary~ Happy B-day and thanks for the Mr~
Snowing in AZ Yeah right! I think MEK is yanking our chain! LOL
ReplyDeleteMEK and Carol I have a question for you do the flip cameras take actual pictures too? Or do they just take video? Do you like them?
Lynndeee....I forgot to say congrats on first...While you were sneaking in there I was trying to figure out why there was coffee in my SOUP mug. It's gonna be one of those days *sigh*
ReplyDeletei've been asleep for 2 1/2 hours...so tired...woken up by driving son....it's snowing bad and he's stuck on the freeway and needed me to call the dean to let them know at school! Can I just say....I don't like the snow?!!!! I wish it would only snow when he doesn't have to drive....like on the weekends or vacation/holidays~
ReplyDeleteMEK...SNOW????
ReplyDeleteTina...Lol @ sleeping on him...
I'm off to sneak up on the scale and see what kind of damage I've done....Maybe if it doesn't see me coming??
Good Morning Everyone!
ReplyDeleteLYNND: Congrats on FIRST!
IBB: Is 94 UPS packages a good day or a bad day? I'm getting ready to mail packages on Friday. I know..I'm running late, as usual!
SCIRISH: It's absolutely possible to sleep on your boob wrong...lol..
LANI: I really think people do look out for one another, it's just that the news media likes to report the carnage..not the caring.
BEAR: I'm so glad you have chosen this for your 2008 Christmas song. It really does have a beautiful message. Thank you for your 'owl wishes' :)

ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY, may all your hopes and dreams come true!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. TINA...I think all of yours all ready have!! :D
Greetings All!! Quite a crowd here this morning.
ReplyDeleteZona~~Wouldn't you love to hear Frank sing this? (I like Michael Buble's version, too.) Without going into a whole 'One World Without Hunger' prayer, I can't improve on the chorus, as written:
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end.
SHIRLEY: I baked 474 chocolate chip cookies! This morning we frosted 500 sugar cookies, with 500 more to go. I'm sorry I kept you up...could you smell them all the way over in Nova Scotia?? ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL @ the exchange rate!!!!!
GOLDIE: I don't think your wish is selfish...I think it's wonderful.
MEK: If it snows...Mr. Z and I have an aunt to visit...lol..
TINA: Your wish is way too generous.. ;)
Saying prayers, but I'm sure he'll be ok..I'll throw in an extra prayer that it only snows on the days you mentioned.. :)
Delete was mine...
*HAPPY * BIRTHDAY * MARY!!
ReplyDeleteBON'O: Yes, I'd love to hear Frank sing it. I actually struggled with whether to use the Michael Buble version or not. I just liked this video so much. The innocence, smiles and shyness on the children's faces just won me over completely.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the chorus is perfect.
MEK: It's pouring here..great sleeping weather! ;)
I better get to bed. I sure hope I don't dream of cookies!! ;)
I hope everyone has a good day. I'm glad you liked the video!

ReplyDeleteZona - I love that video. I like Amy Grant but I adore her husband Vince Gill. He is one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Lynn - Congrats on being first so early this morning.
ReplyDelete39
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Scirish, Ibebold, Lani, Whabbear, Shirley, Goldie, Mary, Mek, Tina, BonO and last but never least Zona-my-baby. I hope you are all fine this snowy morning.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mary. Have a good one.
ReplyDeleteNow I will read the comments. I agree with everything that video 'said'. I imagine everyone else did too.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading the posts. Now I must read yesterday's. Carol I did watch your video and I loved it. It was so nice to hear your voice. Your tree is lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is stunningly gorgeous here today!! Crystal clear blue sky, sun reflecting off 4" of snow that's still as powdery as when it fell yesterday morning,half-moon still high in the sky, -1* wind chill (with no wind) when I got up this morning.
ReplyDeleteBUT,a selfish addition to my Christmas wish-list...Thermal windows! My humble hut still has its original single-pane aluminum frame windows. It's SO embarrassing to have to use an ice-scraper on the INside bottom of the windows!
My grown up Christmas list is for all my family and friends stay safe and healthy all year. I am getting neurotic with the feeling "What is the next bad thing to happen?". I have to stop that.
ReplyDeleteHellooooo Owls!!
ReplyDeleteI have been off the blog for a couple of weeks. I wasn't feeling the Christmas spirit but as the day gets closer, the blue is lifting and the green and red (and yellow) are taking its place. Thanks to the Owls that sent good wishes. Very, very much appreciated!!!!
Zona...love your blog and love the song! It is soooooo beautiful. My grown up Christmas wish would always be peace and love for all. And that the economy changes quickly and money and jobs are not a problem for anyone. And that all wars and conflicts cease. And that all children are loved and know it. And that all kids have the funding they need to learn and grow. And that everyone is accepted for who they are and who they love doesn't matter. That hate and intolerance are obliterated. And joy is there for all!
ZONA - Luv this song!!! And VIG said it best....just add my name to her list!!
ReplyDeleteVIG - Great to see you here!! I'm glad you're feeling more green, although I think I'm green with envy with your Mexico trip almost here!!!
TINKA - I've been anamored with Amy's hubby Vince for a long time!!!
LYNN D - Congrats on first!!!
GOLDIE - I don't think it's selfish either, especially the lottery part!!!
TINA - Good grief....I am so not looking forward to Sam having her license!! And that is exactly why!!
SCIRISH - Don't ya hate it when the girls get in the way?!!? I know I've done the same thing. :P
MARY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
ReplyDeleteMR. TINA - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Hey hooters!
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy birthday to our Mary in Mi!!! I just talked to MR. EBJ on the phone and he said to wish you a happy day, too!
He enjoyed hanging out in the pool that Sunday with you, Raquel and MEK.
Congrats once again to Lynn D!!
Love the song and video Zona, thank you for sharing it... my wish is that of others, peace, tolerance, no suffering. Finding a cure for cancer, AIDS, diabetes, and other life threatening or terminal illnesses would be nice, too.
I have done all my errands for the day, went to the grossry store, mailed packages at the post office, and a couple other places.
Our litle downtown post office was practically empty, I was in and out in less than 5 minutes.
Scirish, have MR. SCIRISH kiss your boob and make it all better :)
Shirley you made me laugh with the exchange rate comment!
Have a nice day everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MR. TINA TOO!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday Mr. Tina and Mary!
Happy birthday to you!!

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Jodi, East Bay J and my great Victorian friend VIG.
ReplyDeleteVIG - So happy to see you posting today. I have missed you so much in the nest. I feel like copying and pasting your Christmas wish because I feel the same way about those issues. Please add my name to your comment.
Drive carefully tonight. The side roads are pure ice. They have closed the road that I would go on to get anywhere because there are cars stalled everywhere. I think I will stay home by my fire and just look out at the pretty snow. Because of my 'almost fall' 10 days ago I have been house bound anyway. The cold is here to stay and that is so unusual for this area. We rarely get cold for more than a few days before it warms up and rains. Global warming?????

ReplyDeleteZona, I love that song! I do like Amy Grant--as Shirley said, her Christmas CD is really good.
ReplyDeleteAll of our owls are so kind and generous in their grown-up Christmas list. I wish for all thsoe things, too, of course. Oh, and an IPOD.
Okay, now this warm weather is kind of getting on my nerves. It doesn't feel like Christmas. It got to 79 yesterday. I'm in capris and flip flops today. Zona and MEK, are you?
Off to get my daughter to the doctor for some vaccines. She's so good about it--NOT!
Happy Birthday Mary and Mr. Tina!
Forgot to say, Welcome Back, VIG!! We missed you.
ReplyDeleteThere is snow in the bay area! Saratoga (down in Whab's neck of the woods) has enough on the ground for people to snowboard!
ReplyDeleteAnd our Mt. Diablo has snow on the top! I can look out the back window and see snow!
An unusual sight around here!
Hi Tinka! So glad to see you posting. Your back must be feeling better, I hope!
ReplyDelete69?
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOH Sandie got the 69 today!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Sandie!!
Jodi and Sandie....thanks kindly for your words! I will send you all yellow from Mexico. Three more sleeps!!!
ReplyDeleteHowdy neigbourlady Tink...hope you are staying warm and dry and are feeling better! Haven't been out yet but I see blue sky and wet streets, so maybe the ice is no more! Still a good day to stay inside with the adorable furbabies!!!
Waving a wing at EBJ and all the Nesters!
Mary and Mr.T...happy, happy birthday! Hope it's a fabulously special day!
Good evening/afternoon Goldie, Mary, Mek, Tina, Bon'O, Tinka, VIG, Jodi, EBJ and Sandie!
ReplyDeleteVIG I love your little green Santa car!
Happy Tuesday Owls.
ReplyDeleteZona, I love this song and Amy does a really nice version. Thanks for choosing that video for today.
I agree with all the Owls grown up wishes. I just have to say that I see so much generosity from people who give to Christmas Promise. We were worried that, with the economy in such dire straits, we wouldn't be able to help as many families this year and that has not come to pass. It has restored my faith in humanity.
Happy Birthday Mary and Mr. Tina.
ReplyDeleteTina, From Area 51 - When the smoke alarm goes off, it means the pie is done.
Tina2, You should get your Mom on that request about snow. She seems to have a lot of influence.
LynnD, Congrats on #1. Thanks for the snowflake and I loved your Christmas letter.
Shirley, Thanks for the Canada card. It sounds like we are ALL gonna have our own ammunition. Thanks.
MEK, Our weather people are telling us that we may get snow too.
Zona, You are going to mail all of us cookies on Friday?? YaYYYYY!!!
Bon, Love your poem. And from yesterday, I remember the bubble lights. They were my favorite things on my childhood tree.
VIG, WB. I'm happy for you that you are seeing the yellow.
I have been having MS problems for days. I can't leave comments or stay logged in. Is it just me?
Waving hello at all the other Owls. I hope you all have a great day.
MARY - I'm feeling TREE-MENDOUS today!!! Luv the magnet!! Looks like we're putting the tree up tonight because Jake's choir concert got cancelled due to the snow we are getting right now.
ReplyDeleteGOLDIE - Be careful driving home. MR. JODI says the roads are for shit!!!
SACBARB - Sorry, ms is cooperating with me. Sorry you're having problems. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Jodi- I will. About to leave right now, and have to stop at the damn drugstore first too.
ReplyDeleteWe are supposed to get another BIGGER storm on Thursday night. ICKY
Talk to you later Hooters- will catch up when I get home.

ReplyDeleteSandie - Thank you, yes my back is a lot better today. Thanks to Cara I have really rested it since yesterday. That's what I needed to do but there is so much to get done. I will change you weather patterns today. I love snow but it is so hard to get out to do the last minute things. I worry about my family slipping around. They all have good cars for traveling but there are cars out there with drivers that don't have a clue how to drive in these conditions.
ReplyDeleteVIG - Check in when you can please. I want you home safely.
Zona - Are you sleeping? Call me if you read this.
Goldie and Lani - I loved your cards and notes. Thank you.
I just woke up so now I am thinking of eating. This retirement life is so tough.
Congrats on first Lynn D!
ReplyDeleteZona: That is a great video! I thought the kids were so cute.
My grown up Christmas list is for my family to be healthy, happy and successful in their endeavors. Also, I would wish for tolerance and honesty. Those two things alone could make this world such a better place. Of course, peace for everyone.
Going to read the comments. I hope everyone has been having a good day so far.
Sandie: If we are going there, then I want a flat screen tv..at least 46 inches worth..LCD preferably. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Goldie, good one! I am adding the lottery to my list too.
ReplyDeleteFlying through! I was out and about and got nothing accomplished today! Yarghhhh
ReplyDeleteI missed this so Happy Birthday Mr. Tina!
So glad to see Viggy posting!
Sacbarb I have been having MS problems too! I think I am going to load Mozilla on my computer and see if that solves the problem.
Ok have to head out into the cold again. I have two coats on!
Have a great evening everyone!
ZONA: What a nice blog and I love that song. Thank you for making me think today. \
ReplyDeleteMy wish is pretty much the same everyone else...peace in the world, good health for my family and friends and all the owls (they are included in friends). I wish for the United States to rally and I wish great success for our new President.
Ummmm, I kind of want a bigger flat screen for the bedroom because my eyes are getting older to read things on the 19".
We tell the kids to buy for the grandkids not us. Last year we asked my daughter and SIL for a Thanksgiving dinner in the Spring with just them and us. I am asking for the same thing this year. It was so nice. My DIL makes great Italian food so I asked her to make some canolis (sp) that I can freeze for nights I want to "cook". They all think I am silly but there is truly nothing either of us want or need and they are all on a budget too and I think these are great presents that I could never buy at a store.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!!! Are you caught up to my age yet? Are you doing anything fun today? I sure wish I had some of those cookies you made last night (yours too ZONA). I am starving right now.
Drive safe GOLDIE. We are having a heat wave today of 36. It is going to get colder and snow over the weekend...I hope not as we all have things to do this last weekend before Christmas and my husband flies out to Virginia on Monday.
Guess What????? I wrapped almost all day. I am now heading over to my daughters to take my granddaughters to the store and dinner as she is having her Christmas bunco party at her house tonight. I haven't been out this door since Saturday...too cold.
I love reading all your Christmas wishes today everyone. Thanks for sharing them. I am so glad to be associated with all of you.
TINK AND VIG: Your cards arrived and they took 6 days...not too bad. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite songs and I thought I would share the lyrics with you today..
ReplyDeleteFor -
This is my wish for all of you!!
"My Wish" by Rascal Flatts
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

Yeah, this, is my wish.
This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big

ReplyDeleteWell - my weatherman is still telling us that it should snow - but we haven't seen any yet.
ReplyDeleteand - for those of you that think I'm crazy - it has snowed four times since we have lived here -
Our neighbors had on gloves, scarves, ski hats and ski jackets on - TOO over the top.. but i did put on a sweatshirt today!!
:-)
Tonight is the finale' for the Biggest Loser!!
ReplyDeleteVIG has her cheetos ready - I am going to try to NOT eat during the show......
I'm cheering on Michelle!!!
The kitchen is calling my name - need to go fix us something to eat!!
MEK~~Good one, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGood evening ALL and may I just say "Brrrrrr"? Before you frozen tundra owls laugh at us in the PNW, we did tie the record low (11*) for this date today, set in 1919! It shouldn't be this cold here until end of January, if ever. And, how does Dianne_in_mile_high_DENVER get 36*, when we couldn't get above 24* today? That's just wrong!
SacBarb/LynnD~~No MS probs, and good thinking, Lynn, on the switch to Mozilla. Anyone still using Internet Explorer might want to Google today's news about MAJOR security breach they hope to patch tomorrow: If it doesn't apply to you, skip next post....I'll paste an excerpt.
ReplyDeleteMicrosoft: Emergency Patch for IE Flaw Coming Wednesday
ReplyDeleteMicrosoft is signaling that it plans to ship an emergency software update on Wednesday to fix a dangerous security hole in its Internet Explorer Web browser that thousands of compromised Web sites have been using to install malicious software.
Microsoft says the critical flaw is present in all versions of IE, from IE5 all the way up through IE8 Beta 2. In an unusually frank blog post, the company estimated that about 0.2 percent of Windows users worldwide may have been exposed to Web sites containing exploits that try to attack this vulnerability.
While one in every 500 IE users may not sound like a large number, Microsoft said the frequency of attacks is increasing dramatically.
"That percentage may seem low, however it still means that a significant number of users have been affected. The trend for now is going upwards: we saw an increase of over 50 percent in the number of reports today compared to yesterday," wrote Microsoft's Ziv Mador and Tareq Saade.
In a blog post on Dec. 13, security firm Trend Micro said it found evidence that at least 6,000 Web sites had been hacked and seeded with code designed to install password-stealing software when vulnerable users visit the sites with IE. And that was three days ago.
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes for the Mr~ How sad is this...6 cards came in the mail today.....all christmas cards for me...and not one birthday card~ Poor guy....we are making him Chicken marsala for dinner...and of course...my pie for dessert~
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Mr. Tina!! I think Chicken Marsala would be a favorite. My mom loves that! If you have a good recipe that you don't mind sharing, I would love to have it!

ReplyDeletescirish Did your injured boob prevent you from making #1 today? I hope it feels better. Maybe it needs a massage. LOL
Zona That was a lovely blog today with a wonderful message. Thank you.
The thing is, we really could live in a utopian world if everyone went along with it. We are capable of growing and transporting food worldwide. There should be no one going hungry. We have enough medicine in the world that no one should have to go without. I wonder if, as a species, we will ever be enlightened enough to live in the highest of our potential.
Mary Happy Birthday!
Tina Happy Birthday to Mr. Tina!
MARYinMI....HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope it was spectacular.
ReplyDeleteMR.TUNAinUTAH....HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, too! What is TUNA's "pie" a euphemism for? LOL
My grown up wish echos those already said by VIG, LYNN and the others. Peace to you all.
Sandie Congrats on 69!
ReplyDeleteMEK Congrats on 100! Maybe you should celebrate at McD's! LOL

ReplyDeleteCongrats on First!

Happiness....
Even if its for one day out of 7, then I would be happy, as everyone deserves happiness..

Mek:
ReplyDeleteHow funny that handbag lady you told me about the other day is on QVC...
I never heard of her before and QVC has her bags on now...
Sorry I have been missing lately.
ReplyDeleteThis is the last week of school and it is absolutely crazy.
Our Christmas program was suppose to be tonight but at the last minute it was canceled due to the blizzardly weather.
So now it is tomorrow at 5:00. I think a lot parents will be a little disappointed in that time.
Bon:
ReplyDeleteWow, whats up with that...
I don't understand all of it, It seems it is not affecting everyone, or am I reading it wrong...
Its snowing here in NJ...
ReplyDeleteI had to drive in the yucky stuff and had to clean it off before putting it in the garage...
If that sounds silly.. it is...
My parents are crazed about the garage being wet...
Go figure...
:O)
I bought the car... However I took the purse back...
ReplyDeleteNot a even swap, but the car was more important than the purse..
The boy's messed up the speakers, so I can't listen to the song until hubby fixes them.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of her song, but I'm sure it is pretty.
Do I have a grown up list? Oh, yes.
1. Hubby finds a job.
2. Kids stay healthy
3. I learn how to be disciplined with the choices of food I eat.
Need to Clarify..
ReplyDeleteClean the car off...
And I don't have my new car yet, I will get in on Monday..
iteach:
ReplyDeleteI missed ya!

Happy Birthday to my favorite Aunt!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mr. Utah!
Carol, I missed you too.
ReplyDeleteIteach:
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to rest a bit when you get your school break..
I will surly be thinking of ya!
:O)
Carol - I sent you an e-mail.
ReplyDeleteZona and VIG - Thanks for the calls today. I enjoyed them very much.
I gave my grown up Christmas list. Now for the six year old that lives inside me, I am wishing for an i-pod so I can buy the Anne of Green Gable books and listen to them, a turn-table so I can change my long playing records into CD's and of course a teddy bear with 2008 written on its feet.
I think I am ready to go to bed. Thanks again Zona for the great blog. See you all tomorrow. Stay Safe.
Love, Tinka
One more Clarify...
ReplyDeleteDid not buy the car, I leased it...

RossFanRoxieG:
ReplyDeleteI was alerted to your post on Rossland about my blog, So evidently you are lurking here on the nest. I don't know what exactly you are tying to say. I don't know you or who you are and the reasoning behind your comment. It just seems to me that you are trying to stir up trouble. And I for one, will not allow drama, on this nest, any which way..
I have always said that anyone is welcomed here as long as there is peace!
With that said... Merry Christmas
Carol

ReplyDeleteSCIRISH, I hope the "girls" wake up feeling better tomorrow.
BEAR, I agree with your wish for a depression, illness & tragedy less or free 2009.
Hi SHIRLEY, You must be dry by now!!!
Happy Birthday to MARY & MR T_IN_UT
LYNN, I hope the dogs didn't get their tongues stuck on the ice pops.
Hi MEK, May I address you as the "FAST FOOD QUEEN"? OR, fast food connoisseur?
GOLDIE, I will keep a good thought for your family to arrive safely.
TINA, No one could ever replace you as the best crack whore ever! But, watch out for HODI. I still worry on occasion when I know my daughter is out on the road. I think we could be 90 yrs old and still worry.
TINKA, I absolutely love Vince Gill also. I am so glad you are back.
VIG my VIG, It is good to see you again and I am glad you enjoyed the movie. It is one I am definitely interested in seeing.
EBJ, How is the Santa hat picture on POE going?
BEBBI, What more could a mother ask for.
DIANNE, Good idea, I never thought of justifying a big flat screen TV for medical reasons.
MO, I hope you are holding up okay.
BARB & BON i ms messaged you today.
Hi to ITEACH & CAROL.
I am sorry I wrote this so late in the day, as most of you are probably already asleep.
Hey, I for one, love Ross. I still go and read his blog now and again. I don't post too much over there anymore, but occasionally I do. I think Whabby goes, Renee (although I haven't seen her here for a while, but she's been really busy) and others I am sure. So, I don't get the comment either. Actually, I didn't know about it until you mentioned it Carol.
ReplyDeleteI went out and walked in the cold. I am so glad I did. :) I got 9537 cold steps in today.
Also, my CAR is finally fixed. I am SO happy! I have been without it for almost two months. I had it one day and then today my son used it. LOL, easy come, easy go. Tomorrow I go to see the Nutcracker with my daughter. I will take the Flip and try to get a video to upload.
Carol, I hope you are doing well. Congrats on the new car, I bet you can't wait to get it! :)
Carol, I just tried to send thank-yous on my space and I kept getting the same thing! I tried to go through the "status" pg. It worked for a bit then that to went!

Tinka,EBJ & MrEBJ,

I am truly lucky to have so many thoughtful friends!!
My Son I went Christmas Shopping. It was nice to have someone chauffeur me around the crowded streets.He treated me a fantastic lunch at a Chinese restaurant. I had lemon chicken. It was great!
Someone mentioned lotteries. My Son & My Husband each gave me a $20 ticket to the Millionaire drawing for January. They draw
6-1 million dollar winners 12-$1000,00, and draw 6 thousand smaller prizes.
I could use a measly million lol!!
Bon, we used to have "those" windows! Our patio door would be thick with ice! We had all windows and patio door replaced with air tight ones. Makes a big difference!
Vig, so glad your blue has lifted!
MEK~ Sweatshirt wow! I know you miss wearing them.
