It Feels Like Christmas Out.....

Hi Everyone.... If you read my title, you probably realized that it's very cold here. It turned cold yesterday afternoon and the wind was unreal. It would just go right through you... and it's the same today. It is 36 degrees and I don't know what the windchill is now. I can tell you that it is COLD!

I have been absent for a few days... sorry. Hubby came home Saturday night and I didn't come on the computer at all. I rested Saturday afternoon on the couch with my kids and watched tv. Jessica and Jason and Munchkin came over for a bit Saturday night and after they left, I went to bed. On Sunday, I went to church and then Hubby and I went to lunch and went shopping for a while. We went to Books-a-Million and got a few Christmas books and an advent calendar and some Starbucks... hot caramel macchiatos.. yum!!! We had the best time.. he was gone 8 days so I needed a date! On Monday, Diane needed to go to Wal-mart so Sue and I went to pick her and Lamar up and went to lunch at McDonald's and then went shopping and back to their house for a while. I came home and cooked for me and Hubby. We had stewed potatoes, fried chicken and yeast rolls. It was so good! And I worked on Christmas cards while he watched tv and read for a while. I got all my cards done for our church and now I need to do them for our local nursing home. And work and family. Several from our church do cards for the nursing home. I like to sit down with cocoa or hot tea and get my cards ready. It is something I like to do every year.

Tuesday night, Brian (hubby) and I went to Jessica and Jason's to help put up their Christmas tree and eat dinner with them. Brian went to Sam's and got dinner for all of us. We had rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and stuffing. Jessica and I just had to heat up the sides... the chicken was already hot. It was really good. I played with Munchkin back and forth with Brian. She is such a princess! I love her so much!

We were really busy at work yesterday and had church last night and then, a meeting after church so I didn't really have time to come on last night. I know everyone is busy this time of year. And that's one reason I like shopping on Monday and Tuesday! The mall is so busy on the weekends. Sue, Diane and I went to the mall Tuesday and I got my hair cut and we just went around to a few stores and Diane went to Barnes and Noble and got some coffee and sat down to read. I have a few more things to get and hopefully, my shopping will be done.

Well, I will go for now. I want to visit a few blogs and then I'll be getting ready for bed. I hope you all have a good Friday... I'll check back soon... Hope you all are enjoying getting ready for Christmas...... See you soon.... Cecil

...And it's still pretty chilly today! It's nearly 1 pm on Friday and it's only 39F. What happened to that warm up the weather girl was going on about? Not that I'm complaining. I like it cold as you know.

Gotta go have my mammogram done in a bit. I dread it and will be glad to get it behind me. I always get called back several times so I hope it doesn't take too long. Lamar wants to go eat Mexican after I get done if it's not too late for Lida. We'll feed her too, of course...

Love you, Sister. I'll see you Sunday if not before.

Love and hugs,

Joe

Good Afternoon Cecil,
Thanks for stopping by. I always love hearing from you and your Sisters. Yes, yesterday did feel a bit much like Christmas. Maybe too much. LOL. The high only got up to 34 degrees here and I think the temperatures went up a little bit during the nighttime. It was 36 degrees this morning when I first got up. It is still a cold and wet day out there today. Hubby couldn't work today because it was too wet. He has the weekend off as well. I'm glad Brian made it home and yall got to spend some time together. Sounds like yall have been having a good time with the family as well. It was nice of Brian to buy supper for yall the other night when yall were over at Jessica's. I love to go out and eat. I cooked a pot of White Beans with ham and made a pan of homemade cornbread for mine and hubby's supper last night. The girls went to Jonesboro to eat with my Parents and ate at Colton's. The Funeral Home in Lepanto where my Dad works took all the employees out to eat for their Christmas Dinner. It's a yearly thing, but sometimes it's in the next year before they can all go and eat. Well, take care my friend and have a great Friday. May God Bless You and Yours. It's suppose to rain all weekend and most of next week according to Channel 8.

Hugs,
Karen H.
