I recently heard a great 2007 song the other day, "Falling Slowly" because it popped up in my newsfeed, accompanied by the sad news that the male singer, Glen Hansard, just died in a motorcycle accident. I learned that the song won an award and was featured in an indie movie called Once. I just watched it, and it's really good. They made it in 3 weeks on a $100,000 budget. It's streaming on...
Hope y'all had a good one..
..and..if not..we'll..YEAH..it's over!!!!!
( I had a little of both...will be recovering for days..:-) :-) :-)
Coffee/tea/diet soda...and all beverages of choice
( except Jagger...I think Seek polished that off..:-) :-)
Soooo..
How's everyone this morning?
Oh..wait..I forgot breakfast...
..guess we'll have to do the MC Muffins thing. ( hasbrowns n other McDs breakfast cuisine available as well.....who said I got no culture? :-) :-)
Who's up? Who's down for the count?

Love MC's coffee! Thanks JC. You definitely have culture :) Very classy!
It will take days to recoup from holiday. It was fun to watch grandson enjoy his xmas. I am not sure who had more fun the 6 year old or his 2 uncles. It was cute.
I got maybe 2 hours of sleep. Pain is high but I guess that is my new normal.
I am disappointed. I ordered a new body for xmas, with a "Marlene Monroe" style but it did not arrive. So sad :(
Hope everyone has a great day.
Hugs-RJ
Sorry Santa let you down on the new body thing, Rj..
( MM, really? I'd settle for anything with more working parts..:-) :-)
soooper tired after two family celebrations, but were mostly nice.
christmas eve with my dad was a little disconcerting but i heard he was much better christmas day and loved my gifts. we had a really good time at my sister's. she over gifts, but....

MC Coffee for me I actually will only drink their coffee when I'm out. I think I'll hold off on breakfast because I'm still full from yesterday. I hope everyone had a nice day yesterday.
JC, hope you're pain has eased a little bit. I know you've been suffering lately. I do hope you get some relief.
Stinkee, don't work too hard. I hope you don't get too much snow. We're suppose to be getting a bit of snow around here over next 4 or 5 days. I'm having trouble getting out from under my blanket already.
RJ,, I do pray that you get some relief from all that pain. Can the drs. make any adjustments on your pain meds. You've been at high pain levels for so long now and I do hope something can be done to relieve it for you so you can finally get some sleep.
I really have to get up now and get a few things done. Then it's off to tbe gym to work off all I ate yesterday.
Hope all have as low pain day as possible. JC, if I knew how to load a song from my phone I would have, but I'll figure it out eventually.
Hugs,
Mary Ellen

Strong prayers and gentle hugs!!!

Had a good Christmas. The kids were happy with their gifts which always brings a smile to our faces. They're grown but they're like little kids when it comes to presents.
Now we're getting ready to figure out what to get my oldest for his 21st birthday (besides alcohol). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Hope everyone is having a pain free or low pain day. Love u guys. JC, thanks for the diet soda.

Grrrr....I'm in a grumpy mood today. I was awakened by the puppy next door barking at 5:50am. The little thing barked for almost an hour. This has been going on for about 5 days now. I'm thinking of calling our landlord and asking what our options are-it's not our building but the one attached to ours. I don't want to make trouble, but I'm betting they are leaving him alone and that's why he's barking on and on. And it's a puppy bark, so it breaks my heart. Sigh.....
The weather is doing nothing for my mood. It's cold and gray outside. We had some snow yesterday but it's gone. I have to check the weather because it sure looks like snow skies to me.
Tim is still asleep- those days before Christmas without much sleep has caught up to him. I don't have the heart to wake him up, since he has to work tonight.
Christmas Day was very nice- we had the ham and scalloped potatoes and white asparagus with hollandaise sauce. I'm proud to say I made almost all of it- even put the apple pie in the oven-lol.
But I crashed right before dinner and Tim had to put it all together for us. But it was delicious and I'm proud I did most of it.
My pain is actually not too bad right now. Just going to lounge this afternoon and listen to some music on my new iPod. I love it!
Sorry I can't respond to everyone individually- I'm on the second page and you know how that is.
JC, thanks for hosting McD's breakfast- it hits the spot! We have a McDonald's right down the street but we rarely go there, which I guess is a good thing.
And I will send out prayers to Hippy- poor thing. Losing electricity in the winter is the worst. We'd have to stay in a hotel if it happened right now since we don't have a fireplace/wood stove. But at least the food won't spoit!
Hope everyone has a good day.

I am just trying to stay warm...in bed is warmer than out of bed...I am waiting to go to shop n save for some groceries...I got a gift card for Christmas to use....nothing much planned here today...the banker I need to talk to is off to Wed next week....so it is just waiting for money to magic its way into my accounts....
I wanna take the homeless guy I am working with thru the food stamp process but he is not responding to call or text...so until he gets in touch with me I wait....that is story of my life...hurry up and wait!
Hugs to all
