Merry Friday Eve Festive!!! Hope you get some snow!!! xx

 

[Holiday]

Morning! It's Thursday or as we like to say Friday Eve. It's very mild here for January. Temps today into the 50s! It's supposed to chill down during the weekend though. But next week looks overall mild again with temps at least into the 40s. Anyone have Monday off? I don't. But next week I need to put in for my day after the Superbowl vacation day that I've been thinking of taking. It's been pretty good so far this winter because even when it snows its on the weekend mostly so I haven't had to deal much with driving in snow to work and home.
Enjoy your Thursday!

I wish we had a paid holiday on Monday!! Ah well....Happy Friday Eve!

Good morning ~
Happy Thursday!
Woke up pretty early with my oldest, she has an interview this morning for a new job. Just relaxing and having my coffee right now. Watching Sophia & Rosie run laps around the house. Crazy cats. It will be a typical day of errands and chores. I may take a ride to the Christmas Tree Shop to pick up some new decorations for Valentines Day. That's about it. Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!

Good luck to your daughter today!!
I'm sure you enjoyed watching Sophia & Rosie this morning. Too cute!
Hope you find some goodies at the Christmas Tree Shop!!! xx
Have a good day HMG!

Same thing happened to us overnight. Back to square one again and now we have a rain advisory out for torrential downpours. If it was colder we would be getting 2' of snow.

We had those torrential rains about 6am this morning!!! POURED & POURED!!

Good Morning, Guys.

Creeping up on that first Milestone!
(More on that, momentarily.)

First, the morning count:
Days to the Season: 305
Days to Christmas Day: 347

And wonder of wonders, we discover ourselves just FIVE short days away from Milestone #1 of 2017, the 300-day Season marker, to be succeeded immediately by the commencement of a Season count numbering in the 200's.
(Put that in your Santa pipe and smoke it!)


The weather?
Well, it is much improved. And with steady temperatures above freezing, just about all of the accumulated ice is gone. (And good riddance!)
Currently, we are standing at 56 degrees here in the capital city.


I am pleased to note, on my morning walks, that many of the houses in our neighborhood still have at least some of their Christmas decorations up.
It is like this every year. At least one or two houses will not get around to removing the last of their decorations until the end of January or sometimes even into February. I love looking for them and speculating as to which one will be the last.
(Makes the walk more entertaining!)


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks!

Last night when I went past the house that was all decked out yet on Tuesday night - was all dark!! What a bummer!
Have a good day crown!

AWE MAN! Just got this message from my sister...

Just got call from the nursing home. Mom has the G.I. flu. Vomiting and diarrhea. She fell going to the bathroom this morning, hit her head. They state no obvious injuries. Family doctor was coming today anyway to see her. I'll go over in about a half hour when she should be there.

DARNIT!!!!!!!!!!

Yuck the flu. I hope her fall did not cause any extra problems!

Good Thursday Morning, all. It's a warm and humid 62 degrees here in Maryland, and looks like some thunderstorms are due. We're supposed to get snow on Saturday. Such variety!

 

[Holiday]

Merry Friday Eve!! My daughter is feeling better today and is back at school. I am just working and she has basketball practice tonight. It is supposed to be warmer today and all the snow is gone! Hope you all have a great day!

Glad to hear your daughter is better! Hope nobody else gets it. xx
Have a good day SFM!

Good Morning MMC !!

Long night, a thunderstorm woke me. A thunderstorm !! with lightening and big booms, in January !!! We are supposed to get snow and drifts and build snowmen, not listen to rain pouring down and thunder crashing. So weird. Now we have ice rain warning out.

Have to be at work by 10:30.
Right now I am making a batch of marmalade because it is so much better than store bought.

so back to work before I head into work

Have a great day everyone !!!

We had a loud thunder boomer Tuesday night. Crazy, crazy weather! It sent Gracie under the bed!
Stay safe & have a good day at work. Hope the marmalade turned out yummy!

Yikes that looks like bed time.

Feels like it should be bed time!

I am starting to pack for our weekend at the shore. I work tonight but am off tomorrow. I just want to be prepared in case mike gets an EO tomorrow night. If he does that means he will be at my house by 10 and we will get to the shore by midnight if not we will go early Saturday am. Have a great day

Hope you have a great weekend at the shore!!! xx Safe travels!

Yuck the flu. I hope her fall did not cause any extra problems!

Thanks Edge! Me too! Sis is with her now - said she seems fine. With her being on Coumadin, a fall is always an extra scary thought!

I just read that today is the last day of Christmas music on Sounds Of The Season! BUMMER! (not that I listen, it's just nice to know it's on if I flip to that channel)
