Coffee Break #26 - Feeling like winter!

here is another photo for you Jen.. right here in Rockaway, NJ

Cool, Allison! Love that song.

I had that cd playing today.


Drove around a little coming home from church tonight, no real outrageous displays around here. There is one house that is covered in the white lights, all the bushes, garage, shed and gazebo. Just beautiful, I need to get a pic of it.

Outside decorated, tree up but not decorated. Shopping done, now sewing needs to happen so the presents can be sent off. Going to TSO concert in Cleveland on the 19th!

We saw TSO last year it was the best!

that's great Jumper... I would enjoy that concert as well.. the other song I have done is hark the herald by Manhheim .. I started doing carol of the bells.. but it made me nuts and had to stop.. so hard to program those kind of songs so much going on in them.. I can say the classic christmas songs are much easier ... I will get back to them after the holidays for next year... when I am not pressed for time

Wow.

Have you joined in on the latest craze yet??!

http://www.hotelsbycity.net/blog/bed-jump/

I used to pass a house in S. Florida quite often that rotated, looked similar, (like a flying saucer), it was on the way to a park I used to go to where I used to fly RC airplanes. ... should of taken a pic of it!

- Someone is going to break their neck on the ceiling with that craze!

nice links Victor!

What difference does it make if you're facing the sun if you have a huge roof overhang like that on all sides? Pretty cool though.

Mom was WRONG!! Jumping on the bed is good! I love the photos especially those that looked like levitating people.

edit: grammar

Called bounce when I was little. Got in trouble for 'riding' the foot board, pillow for saddle & jump rope for reins. I was 30 when able to get a real horse--much more fun.

Decorating the tree now. How is that when you hang something by loop and it ends up facing the wrong way and you then reverse it, it still faces the wrong way?!! That just ain't right.

That's why it's always good to have a rotating tree! lol!

I want the rotating house and a rotating tree, spinning in opposite directions.

I get dizzy just thinking about that! lol

Ever heard of Murphy's Law, Victor?

How does the utilities work in the rotating house, ya know the pipes, wiring and stuff???

Went to our church Christmas breakfast this morning, good times....

Murphy's Law, was thinking about it the other day. What goes up must come down. In todays technology is that right? What about a building? Today you could make that thing stand up if it was falling down with old age.

This is really funny

LOL JoAnn. I live with a morning person that I would like to treat with that some days. Can really get on my nerves every now and then LOL. I have my own natural cure for being cheerful in the am. See my sig name.

Hee hee!

I share a house w/DD&SIL.We spend mornings in seperate parts of the house.

That's a good question Jen!

I sleep 'till noon. That's how I avoid the morning problem.

The electric part is not too hard. The water is tougher to envision.

Finally done with the tree! Took longer than I expected - most likely because of the size.

I miss having a tree, but DH doesn't want one and I don't want to do it all myself. I'll be at my mother's for Christmas. She always has a tree... or ten.

That's too bad, Harp. I cannot imagine a Christmas without one.

Anyone ever use / received an Edible Arrangements fresh fruit gift? They are fantastic. I send them to a few people each year. Incredible sweet and juicy. Can dip the fruit in chocolate if you wish. Many different options.

When will it get here?

Hee hee. Chocolate-dipped?

Don't know if I like chocolate with fruit except maybe strawberries. They are gorgeous arrangements.

I'm not into dipping. I like them separately.

My aunt sent me one of the arrangements---it was delish, but too much for 2 of us---I shared with the neighbors. That revolving house is awful---I would not go up in the Space Needle in Seattle---I get motion sick looking at the waves on TV!

I liked this article.........

my wife saw some show on conditioning her hair and is walking around with her head wrapped in sylafane (sp) and has maple syrup in her hair - what women will do................

Celeste, cool article.

DD sent out some more college apps. I hate this waiting game.

I had seen that, Celeste. Nice.

Any particular syrup grade, Bill?? ^_^

well here is our first run with the arch... we did not get to cover the middle support with the green garland as we hoped.. the rain got too much ... but I took some videos though the front door.. I have to tweak some of the songs we were not expecting the white lights to be so intense.. good news is I can tone them down with the program when needed.. just takes some time

My cousin used to do mayonnaise and raw egg in her hair. Eeeew. I've never heard of Maple Syrup. Chemically, I think maple syrup is just plain sugar. Let us know if you think her hair is nicer afterward.

Very cool Allison!!!

i did expect more comments on the conditioner treatment - i have to say that i THINK it worked - her hair looked great tonight.
