Last week I ordered Christmas wrapping paper from a school fundraiser. Today we got the date for our office Christmas lunch. It's coming...

I really realized that today too as I changed my countdown to 96 days!!! So fun!!!

Merry Wednesday!

Merry Friday Eve!!!

Happy 'Pines Day, everyone!

It's been a fun week in Ottawa. After two days near the 100s with humidex, we cooled off to barely reaching the 70s today... and it felt even cooler. What a perfect autumn day!

To say that I am excited for the weekend would be an understatement. I only teach two classes (usually) per day, but I am tired. Also, on the other side of the weekend just might be the debut of the Christmas Blossoms Thread. There should be a countdown to Crown's launching of the Most Wonderful Thread of the Year!

I hope everyone has been enjoying their week thus far. See you at the 'Pines today and then we're only two work days from the weekend!

Hope you are having a good week too brent!! It's crazy how fast everything is coming now!!!

Morning MMC! Everyone is eyeing Autumn now coming this weekend. I found out yesterday my boss is going to be out of town next week. It just helps when she's not around because I can get other work done instead of being interrupted as much. Looking forward to a nice weekend ahead as temps look to be in the high 60s - low 70s comfortable early Autumn type weather. Have a great day!

LOL - they always say the next best thing to a vacation day is your boss' vacation day!!!
Regardless...have a good day!

Merry Thursday MMC!
It’s going to be cloudy today with a high of 73 degrees. I’m picking my mother up later this morning and we’re going to make a Costco run together. We’ll probably grab lunch on the way home. Other than that I will be working on the laundry. Dinner will be shrimp scampi over linguini. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone is well. Wishing all of you a wonderful day!!!
xo

Have fun with your mom today!!
This is one of your meals I will have to pass on! (not a seafood fan...AT ALL!!!)
Have a wonderful day HMG!

Good Morning, Folks.

Wow.
So much of our journey behind us, now that we are entering the last third of September. The year has really passed quickly.

I'm almost afraid to look at the Countdown statistics.
But let's do it, anyway:
Days to the Season: 54
Days to Christmas Day: 96

I'm even more apprehensive about inspecting the latest update on our next pending Milestone marker.
But let's do that too:
It is, of course, the THREE-QUARTER mark to Christmas Day.
And it is now only FIVE days into the future.
(Downright frightening!)

It warmed up again yesterday, and with all the moisture left around from Florence's unwelcomed visit, it was quite humid.
Hopefully, that will be subsiding in the near future and we can comfortably welcome the arrival of official fall, this Saturday.
Currently, we record 73 degrees here on our back door thermometer.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone.
And get yourselves all geared up for Weekend Eve, tomorrow!

I just mentioned to my boss this morning that after next week we start the 4th quarter of the year!! How did that happen?????
Have a good day crown!

Good morning MMC!! Merry Friday Eve!! I haven't looked sooooooo forward to a weekend for a long time!!! LOL!!! I'm at my old job this morning & I'll head to the new job this afternoon. Tomorrow morning I have to bring Mandy (Amishville) home, so I'm planning to come to my "normal" job for the rest of the morning! Sounds like every day I'll be working at both places until the end of the year. What a yo-yo!!!

Everybody is very nice at the new job. I'm just frazzled by all of it! Holy Hannah!! They do things so different from my "normal"! It will take some getting use too. But the building is beautiful. Nice offices & clean. There is a nice kitchen/bar area right behind my desk, which makes it feel very Homey! I think it will be ok, it will just take some time!

My sister had her knee replaced yesterday. Sounds like all went well & hopefully she'll get to come home today.

What a week!

Everyone, have a GREAT day!!!

It's so hard sometimes to "switch gears" when starting a new job, learning the different ways of doing things. But before long, it'll be just as "normal" to you as the previous place.

If you're working at both places till the end of the year, you'll have TWO desks to decorate!

Happy Thursday...we have temps in the low 70's, definitely starting to feel like fall. Yesterday I noticed some of the leaves were changing and we have more fallen leaves in our yard. Tonight I have open house for my youngest daughter, only an hour so not too bad.
Hope you all have a great day!

Have fun at open house! I have an open house at Carolina's school later this afternoon.

Merry Thursday!

Listening to the chipmunks as they play and harvest their walnut crop ~ they are quite the chatterboxes!

Seems like chipmunks are everywhere! We took a walk the other evening and saw three or four of them skittering around, and they've even been dashing across the street in front of my car.

Good Thursday morning! My first day back at work Monday wasn't too overwhelming but my feet and legs were so sore and and I was beat at the end of the day, it felt like I hadn't walked in forever. The rest of the week is going smoothly, I haven't done a single extra minute of work so far. I have the day off, we have some shopping to do today, David has another physio appointment and I have to go to the bank (seems everyone at the store forgot to order quarters during my vacation and we've run out). Then it will be the usual chores and laundry. And Loki is due for a bath, that's always fun (not!), but it's hilarious afterwards when he gets the zoomies. Hope everyone has a great day!

Enjoy your day off!!
I LOVE the zoomies!! ♥ So funny!!!
Have a great day!

We just got home from Carolina's staple removal. The dr said it looked great and just to clean it with neosporin. She backed herself into a corner and screamed when they came in to see her so I had to hold her to me in a bear hug so they could pull them out. Even though she was crying they said she did a great job.
I am off today so we are just relaxing until it's time to take Carolina to school. I have to go back a half hour early so we can have an open house in her classroom and learn more about what she will do this year.

Glad the staples are out!! SO hard to see your little ones so upset!
Have a good time at Carolina's open house!!

Happy to hear your first day went well! I am sure it will take some time to get used to your new surroundings!
Prayers for your sister for a speedy recovery!

Thank you! Haven't heard from sis today but yesterday was going well. I'm sure the pain meds will eventually wear off & things will change a bit!
And yes, it's definitely going to take some getting use too! Thankfully they are so laid back!!
