Christmas Countdown - 2009

[Crown 84]

.....Here's a big shout out to CC thread dwellers, including the boss (Crown) and his sidekick (Binger) or is it the other way around!!!.....

Hmmm..... Well they kick me in the side all the time and interrupt my sleep, so..........

Good Morning, Friends!

It's going to seem strange being away so much.
Be that as it may, we are off to the coast this afternoon.
Me, to work on the cottage - the nieces, to have fun - my father, to enjoy walking "Fox" on the beach.
Will be back here briefly for Monday and Tuesday mornings, then we will be gone to Florida until July 7th!
(And won't the count have declined by then!!)

Speaking of that.....
<< Always those lead-ins, Crown! >>
Well golly, gee!
Days to the Season: 148
Days to Christmas Day:190
One week from tomorrow......the half-way mark to Christmas Day!

Again overcast here today, but with a lesser chance of rain. (We've certainly had enough, recently!)
The temp stands at just over 72.
(With overcast skies, that's great walking weather with no glare!)

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everybody.....and a Rousing Rest of the Week!
See you here Monday morning.
And keep the spirit of the Season with you!

Ahhh...another day crossed off! I love it

I went garage sale-ing yesterday and found a few deals. I bought my daughter's Christmas dress for $2!!! Yay!! and also a few Christmas decorations, 1 Christmas novel for me, and 2 Christmas books for Kaylin. I also got some summer clothes for Kaylin and an Amelia Bedelia book! All for $4.80 Woo hoo - I love a good deal.

I'm just running into work for a meeting today, but otherwise I have the day off with Kaylin. This is my normal day off, but I took off yesterday so that I could help my sister host her garage sale and she would watch Kaylin so that I could work today instead. Well she decided to cancel her garage sale b/c she wasn't ready - but I had already cancelled all of my work plans for yesterday. So now, she decided she can't watch Kaylin afterall today - so I am just out of luck and losing a day of pay. Fabulous. But at least I still get my day with my girl!!

Hope you all have a great day!

I'm on board with yardwork, HolidayHoney! IT'S 98 DEGREES HERE AND WILL BE WARMER TOMORROW!!! My poor flowers are going to need watering both in morning and night it's so hot! But hey, I'm an outdoor person so I guess should be happy it's not raining. I hope you all have a good day and look forward to visiting again tonight!

 

[Holiday]

Good afternoon!!! Happy Friday Eve!! :grin:

Amelia Bedelia - now that's a blast from the past! I haven't heard that name in years! I love it!!!

Hope you are all having a great day!!! Have a great trip Crown! ENJOY!!

A simple question: Why?

We don't have a Garden Ridge, but I love it when the Christmas decorations start to show up on the local store shelves. Can't wait!!
