No more "special post" volunteers?
To recap:
Day 5 before the Season (Nov 8) = Seawaters
Day 4 before the Season (Nov 9) = Binger
Day 2 before the Season (Nov 11) = Christmasstar

I'll go ahead and take Day 3, Nov 10 (and take the big risk of following Binger)!

Day 1 (Nov 12) remains. Any takers??

Crown....I really feel like I should not since I'm kinda new (April), but if no other members say they want it....I will take it....however, if anyone that has been here awhile wants it I will be more than glad to turn it over....just let me know!

i'm due to give birth on tuesday, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers - i'm slightly terrified!!!!!!

Good grief - I hadn't realised you were that pregnant!!!! I suppose if I did the maths.......

I'm still sticking with my original prediction of a baby!!!!

I'll switch and take Day 1, November 12. For some reason, I thought that was Day 5. What I need is a cup of coffee to straighten out my head!!!

Crazy morning here, getting ready to move my daughter to her new home at college. Have to quick finish a batch of cookies to send with her. She and her brother are loading the car with the last of her things.

This is my break moment and since I have not been here for several days thought I would check in again.

I hope the move went smooth and safe!!!!

Well I spent the day at my sisters house having a cookout. We had fun and I got tried just watching my nieces running around the yard. Hope everyone had a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Ballcoach- I thought junior was going to have another strong run there before that last caution came out. I don't know what happend but he dropped back pretty quick there at the end. At least there was the nationwide race where he finished third.

yeah...on that last restart I think he started 5th and then I look up and he was barely in the top 10....kinda weird...but at this point...it's progress so I'll take it....maybe i'm bad luck....i didn't watch the nationwide race and he did good!

I hope the move went smooth and safe!!!!

Yes thank you, all went well. She is safely settled in her new home. Her first class is at 8am tomorrow morning. cheesy

It's raining right now so it's a good day to be inside burning candles. Now that I'm all decorated for fall it's nice and cozy.

Sounds great! I do not think I will be able to decorate for fall this year. We are moving and even though it is not far, the exact date of the move is not settled yet as they are going to be doing some renovating of the new place before we move in. So, it might be the first of October or maybe a bit later. I am hoping for the earlier date as I am anxious to get settled and anxious for a nice roomy kitchen!!! cheesy

Hey everyone....man these few days have kept me busy. Everytime I tried to spend a few minutes on here something happened to take me away again. Sorry crown for not posting but I did not read the posts until tonight.

We have been busy with the house trying to get it ready for an upcoming appraisal. We are trying to refiance so we can do some improvements to the house. Plus we had a couple cook outs to attend this weekend.

Thanks Made582 for stepping in and handling the count.

Well off to bed and back to work tomorrow. Good night all.

I keep seeing people say they see Christmas stuff in stores. I live in Mississauga Ontario and I don't see anything other than some crafts at Michaels. What stores do you see in London that have Christmas stuff out already?cheesy

 

[ballcoach]

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends! cheesy

I was in and out all weekend, and didn't post. I missed you all!

It was a busy weekend. Bird hunting season started Saturday. My son and I love hunting & fishing, so we hunted all afternoon Saturday and all morning Monday. A great weekend!

My wife made me go shopping yesterday afternoon for a new mattress. I don't think we need one, but when the boss speaks.....

Johnor, praying everything goes well for you and your family!

No problem, my friend. I assumed you were busy - and knew that one of our good people would step forward!

Top O' the Morning to one and all.

It's a bit overcast here in Raleigh at this hour with the chance of more rain (we had lots of it yesterday!).
It is currently 70 degrees outside.
<< What is it inside, Crown? >>
Well, if you must know, it's 78. (Hey! I need to open a window.)

The count:
Days to the Season: 66
Days to Christmas Day:108
Just one week from tomorrow = the 100-Days-To-Christmas Milestone.
Really closing in!

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone!
(Remember - the 'Pines tomorrow for great snacks and drinks!)

OK, since no one has yet taken Day 1 (Nov 12) for a special post, I will shift Seawaters to that date at their request.
That leaves Day 5 (Nov 8) as the open date.

(Have not heard from Auntie Mistletoe in quite some time and I know she liked to do posts in the past. Are you there, Auntie? Would you like Day 5?)
