Christmas Countdown - 2009

[Holiday]

Hey everybody! It's been tooo long!! I have missed chatting with you all!!! I'm going to try to be better about logging on! I don't get as much computer time at work as I use too! Business is slow, which means I have bosses hanging around the office more often! :-? I signed up to walk 75 miles the month of April, so I've been trying to get my walk in every night! I'm well over 1/2 way there!! I wish the weather would shape up so I could get outside!!!

Santa's Helper - sorry to hear you're having a bad day! I'm sure the weather doesn't help! What a dreary couple of days!! I hope tomorrow is better!!

Meceka - sounds like you found a great way to spend a dreary day!! :smile:

Tomorrow is HUMP DAY, so be sure to check out the view!!! :-D Have a great night!!

Good morning and Happy Wednesday!

Trackrebel, I'm so sorry to read of your grandfather's pain and discomfort. That must be really awful for him. I hope he improves quickly and can get back home soon. Poor guy...

Santa's Helper, I hope your headache is gone...I know the feeling, and it's not a good one! Do you have headaches often?

Christmasstar, you mentioned several times about cakes you are baking...are you in catering? I take it you're making a wedding cake...I'm sure it will be fabulous!

Meceka, congrats on your win and your good day!


Hope you all have a good day! The week is halfway over...

Thank you! I get migraines quite often. I haven't been getting them as much lately as I have in the past but, they seem to come and go with the change of the seasons. I've been tested for allergies that could have been causing them but, that wasn't it. I've been diagnosed as having cluster headaches as well. Usually if you have cluster headaches you don't have migraines but, apparently I get both. I'm feeling better tonight even though I'm at work. I'm still tired though. I didn't sleep very well again last night.

Good morning!
I am entered in a sugar arts cometition. This is the first time I have ever gone to one, so it will be interesting to see what happens. The set up for this is Thursday night for 2 hours and Friday morning for 2 hours. Judging takes place all day Friday and awards handed out on Saturday afternoon.
This competition is at the Markville shopping center in Markham Ontario.

Good morning, everyone. I hope your day goes well! I'm going to have the morning to myself - always a good thing as I can get a lot done! The sun is out - much better than yesterday. I plan on taking a long walk and enjoying the gorgeous weather.

.....WAKE UP CROWN AND POST.....

Oh, quit spoiling my sleep and go Chase some Sanborn.

But since I'm now up, I may as well post the daily count:
Days to the Season: 212
Days to Christmas Day:254
Almost down to single digits to the 1/3 Christmas Day marker.
Wowee!

A bit overcast here in Raleigh at this hour with a reduced chance of rain.
We had a brief but hard rainfall yesterday that washed the pollen away for what it's worth. It will be right back again in no time.
I'm sure glad it doesn't fall year round!

OK, Holiday, it's once again the peak-of-the-week and as usual, the view to the weekend is fantastic.
Carl says the azaleas are in full bloom at the Shispering Pines and you all really should come for a visit to see them.
(The flowers have given Carl some new ideas for coffee blends, but I suspect the result will be something only Binger would drink.)

Crappy, rainy day! I can't stand the rain. The birds are still chirping in all of this rain but, I can't enjoy it because my dog is whining because I'm on the computer! She's the boss ya know!

 

[ballcoach]

Great day here today!!! It was right around 70 and sunny! The only thing better than Christmas, babies, and puppies is baseball in warm weather. Here in Ark., high school baseball is cold until this time of year. Anyways, enough about that.....

Glad that I have found people who enjoy coffee in the morning as much as I do! Hopefully, I will be able to become part of this daily! I have had alot of fun reading the threads from the past two years. I really enjoy the special posts right before Christmas...very thoughtful. Can't wait til this years!!! As for another countdown we all enjoy, one more workday til Friday!

 

[ElfSpirit]

Good Morning and Happy Thursday to you all!

Christmasstar, I wish you the best of luck with the competition! Knock 'em all off their feet with your delicious cakes!

Well, for me it's another busy day...as I'm sure it is for most people! ;-)
May your day bring you only good things!

 

[Santa's Helper]

Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes my way from the other day. I missed a couple of posts on here and didn't want to leave anyone out! I'm sitting at work and I'm getting ready to go back to work. I'm lingering after lunch so I do have to get back at it soon! I'm so glad it's Thurs. Why does it seem that the short weeks seem to last the longest? I was off on Mon. and this week seems to be dragging on and on. I hate that! It's nice to have time off but, the weeks after are long because of it. Anyway, I'll probably be back on here later on today when I get home from work, school and the chiropractor. Talk to you all then.

 

[Meceka]

Good morning! I hope your day is a great one!!

Well, apparently Binger's chase of Sanborn was not successful yesterday and they are again without anything to do but drink coffee, look for the sun and wake me up. Oh, well, YAWN!!.

Now that I'm up again:
Days to the Season: 211
Days to Christmas Day:253
That's right! Only 10 days to the 1/3 Christmas Day Milestone. Single digits as of tomorrow. Then, the very next day, the 200-Day Season Mark.
Incredible!

Hey! Bright and sunny at last with no rain in the forecast.
It is chilly at 49 here currently but we should reach the 60's by this afternoon and the mid 70's by the weekend. Great!

OK, folks!
Travel alert.
The Crowns are off to South Carolina for a uncle's funeral and a guest counter is needed.
Any volunteers for this Saturday and Sunday morning?
Your chance at Fame, Fun and Fortune. (Well, fun anyway)

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Friends!
(My, My, My! Friday Eve again, already!)

 

[Bradmac]

Good Thursday to you all! Beautiful day here in south Georgia!

Crown, I'm sorry for your loss. Travel safely.

I nominate Binger for the (temporary) countdown manager!

Christmasstar, I wish you the best of luck with the competition! Knock 'em all off their feet with your delicious cakes!

Thank you...right now I am fighting a bad case of nerves! Cakes are almost done with finishing touch ups to be done when they are set up. I will post pictures after I get back.
