Christmas Countdown - 2010

[ChristmasHeart]

My eye is fine. My boy dog is named Chico (the one that jumped on me) and my little girl chihuahua is named Meca. We also have 2 cats named Charlie and Gary. I also have 2 birds named Simba and the other Bailey after George Bailey of It's a Wonderful Life. A hamster named Cowboy, 2 mice Niven and Margaret and a turtle named Timmy.

Um...I hope I'm not going to be tested to remember all those names! WOW! You sure have a lot of children in your home! The more the merrier, I say!

Glad to hear your eye is doing fine!

Ooops...my computer was doing funky things - and I guess that's why my reply above posted twice. I posted it once - and then got an error, so I posted again...et voila...two posts!

I hope you all had a great Sunday! I cannot believe that the weekend is coming to an end.

I've got a broken-up week coming up. I've got Tuesday off for some medical tests to be done - and then I have Friday off to pick up my darling, adorably cute granddaughter, Emma! She will be spending the weekend! I am sooooooooooo EXCITED!!! We have so much fun together - and I get to be a kid again! I CANNOT WAIT!!! I wish she could be here more often.

Anyway...my Christmas friends - the weekend with you was fun! "Seems we just get started and before you know it...comes the time we have to say...so long" (Carol Burnette). Its sad I cannot be here on MMC that much during the work-week...but I do stop in to say "hi" to you all - and catch up with you at least once during each evening.

Be well...keeping smiling...and have sweet dreams of Christmas!

Hugs! :rudolph:

Well I kicked back and watched The Santa Clause 2 this afternoon. It is definitely my favorite one of the series. Now I am thinking that I should run to the store and get everything I need to put together my Christmas book for next year while all of the school supplies are on sale. I may wait until tomorrow to do that though. I hope everyone is enjoying their sunday!!!!

I just got done thinking about the calendar and thought,"Dang, I've got to start getting my stuff together for my notebook." I've got to be gone all week this week, but I will probably go get it next Saturday because next Sunday, IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY and I'm planning a little sumpin special for me and the wifey. It's a surprise though.....so don't tell!

I have been thinking Christmas non stop since my Christmas Story house visit . When we get home I am starting my lists

What is your "Christmas Book"?

It is a three ring binder I put together at the beginning of every year. I use it to plan all of my Christmas activities. It is broken down into different catergories like recipes, activiteis, budget, decorations, gift ideas, and so forth.

Well, it's about time to head to bed. Going to be a busy day tomorrow. Got to get packed up and ready to head out. Might leave tomorrow night so that I can get there and get a good night's sleep and not have to travel four hours Tuesday morning.

Made, no race=no frustration today! Good thing I suppose, but I was bored out of my mind.

I'm back from the cake competition...did not win anything.

Sorry to hear that you didn't win anything.:-?

Isn't QVC a non cable channel? I see you get 10 channels but assuming you don't receive that one? That would be great if you get that one. cheesy

I don't know if it is a regular channel here. I did figure out that it is a non digital cable channel. So if I just unhook the line from the back of the cable box and hook it directly to the tv I get it just fine.cheesy I know the whole problem is that we have a weak signal in my apartments. So I ran to best buy tonight to buy a signal amplifier instead of just waiting on comcast to come out but the one closest to me doesn't carry them. I have to run to the north side of Indianapolis at the end of the week so I will stop at the one up there and get one and then hopefully everything will work.

I agree that it was nice to have a weekend without any fustration but it kind of sucked since ESPN, TNT, and Fox were 3 of the channels that I am still getting. Here's hoping that he does great next weekend here at the brickyard. Especially if I am going to go sit out there in the heat all day long. cheesy

Have a Safe Trip Friend!!!!!!!

IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY and I'm planning a little sumpin special for me and the wifey. It's a surprise though.....so don't tell!

Your secret is safe with us!!!!!!

Have a good night!

Hi everyone!! I have finally returned from my two week and a half trip! It seems like I left so long ago. I must say that I missed this forum and everyone on it! I can't wait to re-join the count tomorrow morning. As for right now, I am completely exhausted. Not sure how much I will be able to catch up, but I look forward to see how everyone is doing now that I have returned!!

All the best!

Hi Brent! Nice to "meet" you. I guess I joined up with MMC while you were away. I bet you have a lot of reading to catch up on here!

Oh - and by the way...I'm a Leaf's fan...hahahaha!!! :dance:

Good morning, my Christmas Friends!

I only have time to stop in and wish you all a merry day!

Hi-ho, hi-ho...its off to work I go! (no...I'm not that excited about it, expecially at 4:40am...but I've got to pump myself up!)

Until later...
Keep thinking "Christmas"!!!

Good Morning MMC !

I was driving home the other day and noticed a restaurant with a sign saying "Merry Christmas in July" ! They are offering a turkey dinner with all the trimmings this month. cheesy Yum, maybe we will head out there for supper!

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! On Friday, we visited WGN and it was amazing! I posted pics on my Facebook page. Feel free to add me (click my username for the link). Tell me you're from MMC.

I worked the rest of the weekend. Nothing really happened besides that. This Saturday my family and I are going to a vacation spot downstate to go shopping and spend the day there. We're gonna go back in August to go to the amusment park and spend a day there. (Indiana Beach) We used to go visit for a whole week but money is tight and we want to go back to WDW this Christmas, so we're cutting where we can.

Nice weather here.... rode my bike to the coffee shop this AM.. I went by it 17 times.....

Rode BY it 17 times. Oh, come on!
(Wait a minute. They mean they STOPPED 17 times. Oh, now I get it!!)

Good Morning, Everyone.

Yet another week is here. And we are past the half way point of July already. The year is just flying by.
And another thing that's flying is the count:
Days to the Season: 117
Days to Christmas Day: 159
Under 2 1/2 weeks now to the 100-day Season window, then double-digits to Christmas Season 2010!

Overcast with a breeze and a 50% chance of rain.
Gradually dryer as the week progresses.
We stand at just under 80 degrees, currently.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Friends!

I sure hope it works. It's so important NOT TO MISS QVC's Christmas in July! cheesy Didn't you mention another channel having a Christmas in July sale? I forgot what day you said. I am sure I could go through all the post but my take me some time to find, lol.

My ice cream was delicious, JP is doing better everyday, and my in-laws raved about my cooking. So it was a great day!

We had ice cream too! Glad to hear JP is better and you enjoyed your in-laws visit.
