First Sunday In December
Permalink  

Good morning all you sleepy heads. smile  It's still cold here but at least the sun is out today. We got 3 or 4 inches of the white crap yesterday and last night which means one of us has to go out and clean off all the cars and snowblow the driveway and sidewalks.  Hope it isn't me that's going to have to do it.hmm

I talked to my brother this morning.  He lives 85 miles north of me, and last night he got 10 inches of snow plus another 6 or 7 is supposed to be on the way today for him.  He doesn't live too far from where our cabin is at.  I told him I was thinking of spending a few days at the cabin during our Christmas break.  He said if I plan to get in the driveway I better call someone ahead of time and have them plow the driveway because there's at least of 3 feet of snow on the ground now. bleh  Maybe I'll just stay home instead.

We had our tree lighting ceremony in the village last night. It was super cold but, fun. Dinner at a local restaurant afterwards, I got to have a couple of brandy manhattans. yum.
Today is a busy day of work. I've got five projects do soon. One is a newsletter for a motorcyle club. Hoping to get involved in doing newsletters and brochures as a side job.
We'll see.
Stay warm.

Good morning, all. Its partly cloudy with supposed to be a high of 42 today. I have a few errands to run today, but the highlight of the day will be my grandaughter's birthday party. It's hard to believe that she is already 6!

Good day all. I'm back at Startup Weekend.

So the business we're starting is a website called More Than A Meal. You know when someone has an event happen, such as a birth of a baby, or a family member pass away, or a terminally ill family member (like a mom with breast cancer), and the community helps them out with things like meals and babysitting and that sort of thing? This website will track those needs and who is helping out with them, so the family gets what they need without being overloaded. And it'll prevent things like 3 people cooking dinner for them one day and no one bringing them dinner the next day.

I love the idea. I really hope it takes off.

Sleepy heads?

Speak for yourself. I was up at 6:30 and out the door by 7:30. smile.gif

Church was good today. Pastor had a really good message for the time of the season it is.

I've got three new songs to learn for different activities surrounding the Christmas events. Its nice having them early so I can get started and don't have to learn them in just a couple days.

Mrs Web and the boy went to the grocery store. When they get back we can have some lunch.

Afternoon all.

Gosh Sandy, that is a lot of snow! Guess you do not know anything else though. It is hard to go winter after winter without any...but when I think back to what it was like, maybe it is not so bad here.

Sounds like a great idea MZ, my last church did something like that. You were put on the list if you wanted and when someone needed a meal they would go down the list to make a meal. It was nice for me when Duane got hurt years ago. The lady who brought me the food and I formed a great bond too!

I, too, was up by 7 and out the door by 8:30. Church was good for us too. Emily has the Christmas program tonight at 6:30, I am looking forward to it. I have been cleaning and made some brownies, need to get the presents out of my van, but E is around. I need to see what I bought and what is left and empty out my car for next weekend's graduation.

Be safe and have fun JD. I know you'll be tired tomorrow!

Hope the party went well Mema.

Sounds like a nice night Squonk, sorry you are working now.


Have a great!

Oh, I'm not working at work, on work. This is for me, personal projects that I've taken on. Family members ask me to do artsy stuff sometimes.
CD copies of High School Choirs etc
Caligraphy... a poem for my dad's in-laws. (also some tasteful graphics to tie it all together)
Newsletter/Flyers for a club in my area. I'm doing it ProBono (not ConCher) just for the experience of working with people on design work/typesetting.
It all keeps me out of trouble.

Milwaukee is usually the last place in the Midwest for so many bands. They often do two shows in Chicago and give us the sloppy seconds. Sometimes, we are the only stop in the area. All of Chicago shows up. F'ng Fibs

Similar.  This is basically taking that concept digital.  For example, if you had friends who weren't at your church they could still sign up.  When people sign up, they can say what they're providing, so the family doesn't have something like lasagne two days in a row.  And there's a spot for things like dietary restrictions.  And for more than just meals, it's for stuff like rides and childcare as well.

Wow Squonk, you sure are keeping yourself busy lately!  The cds and caligraphy poem sound like something that would make a nice Christmas gift for your family members.  smile

Hey all! Just popping in to say "Hi"

It was not a very good weekend, but not horrible. We cleaned the smaller fish tank and killed our biggest fish in the process. It seems that he got used to the dirty tank and perhaps went into shock. This just put us in a bad mood. That was Sat.

Today i worked on Christmas cards. Hubby drove the girl all over including the big mall. Then we had bowling. During Game 1 of 3 my sister fell from the oil on the lane. She was a trooper and finished all the games but she was hurting. Even after they came and cleaned the lane a girl from the other team slipped. Anyways we had cursed lanes with the scoring systems being screwed up and everything. On top of that we bowled like crap. Well my first game was good but after that I bowled like the old me.

Now I am home and had planned on sending a birthday card out only to realize I don't have that person's address! How did this happen?!!
Also my husband is really sick and keeps running to the bathroom. cry

I know it is a long shot but i do hope Monday is better!
