Christmas Countdown - 2010

[made582]

Well it already feels like 102 degrees here. My neighbor is trying to get me to go with him to the Indiana state fair in indianapolis but I told him no way. I saw on the news this morning that they have treated almost 500 people at the fairgrounds for heat realated illnesses since sunday. There are some t-storms in the area so hopefully one will hit us and cool it off for awhile this afternoon. My plan for today is to review all the new paperwork I got in for my job. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

VOLUNTEER ALERT!

The Crowns are off to visit relatives in SC Friday (our annual family reunion on my mother's side) and a countdown voluteer will be needed for Saturday and Sunday mornings.
Any takers?

<< Hey! Don't everyone shout at once! >>

I can take care of it.

Wow! I can't believe it! They will actually be here before Christmas this year instead of after! Every year I want to see them but they do not arrive in my town until after Christmas and I rather see them before. Thanks for the info!

You're welcome! I am a little disappointed I will not get to see them, but it is great that they will be there before Christmas! It will certainly increase the Christmas excitement!

Good call on not going! I wouldn't want to be outside in that kind of heat!

This heat is dangerous! One of my daughters students came to school the other day and said her brother passed away from working out in this heat. She was so distraught that my daughter sent her home. I am not sure why she came to school in the first place but I guess she felt she could handle it. It was awful news to hear.

Ummm.......our heating's on:-?

small out patient prcedure being done tomorrow.... must fast,, no coffee,.,,,, sob.... sob...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

YABBA!

oh you poor thing! You will have to have a quadruple espresso intravenously when the procedure is done so you can gain enough strength to get home again!
Praying all goes well.

Today was very busy and very fast. I'm so sorry, but I didn't have time to read today and I am going to have to come back and catch up later. School is getting ready to start and I'm pretty darn busy. HOPEFULLY, I can catch up tomorrow.

Have fun!
School here does not start until September 7th. cheesy

Sitting here drinking coffee and trying hard to wake up. The grandkids will be here in 15 minutes! I think I need a caffeine iv drip going right now.

I just got back from have a picnic lunch with my daughter and the two little ones that she looks after. We fed the swans and ducks down by the river and then had ice cream cones at the boathouse before heading home. I don;t know how she manages every day, boy are those two ever active!

Go for a nice tall glass of ice tea with lemon grass, very refreshing.

GL today, Binger!!!!

Another hot day here... ahhh, haven't we had enough heat this summer??? In better news, we finally found a big enough a/c window unit for downstairs last night (THANK GOODNESS!!!!!!) so I am not dripping sweat as I type this now!!!!

How is everyone doing? My 2.5 year old asked if we can get a "Chrim tree" in a "wit a bit" (a Christmas tree in a little bit) and stood by the door "waiting for Santa" this weekend. My hubby and I were cracking up!! I guess he really does love Christmas as much as his mama!

hot here too! the thermometer on my friends back door said 42c in the sun! Yikes.

He is going to have a long wait! Glad to hear he loves the season so much! cheesy

Good afternoon,


Just a quick hello, I am having one of those days today, just in a bad mood, I guess. I have to leave for work in just over a half hour, hopefully the mood will snap soon.
I guess I just need to have Christmassy thoughts to snap it, I was wishing the Christmas tree was up earlier today.

Have a good day everyone.

Wow, Mo! You're running the heat?!? I may have to drop by for a visit!

Good morning, everyone!

One more day of work, and then I am off for an extra long weekend! Thankfully, I am making up extra hours to ensure that I do not lose any of my pay. Hot and humid today. The humidex is expected to reach 31C (almost 90F). Not as bad as previous, but still a little muggy. We are leaving for Nationals in Sherbooke, Quebec tonight. Although the weather for the weekend may have rain and thunderstorms here in Ottawa, there is only sun (and some humidity) in their forecast. I like that.

All this talk of school is really making me nervous! I will be in North Bay in less than three weeks and attending my orientation at Nip*issing in exactly three weeks from today. It is hard to believe that I have not been in a classroom in more than four months - and graduated two months ago! Where has the time gone?!

Only three more days until our next milestone?! That is very exciting!! I will do my best to come online on Saturday and share the 3/4 mark experience with everyone. Hopefully I can find some time!

Well, I should be doing some work. Things need to get done since I am not here for the rest of the week. Have a great Wednesday, everyone! The work week is almost halfway completed and it is only a matter of time before signs of Christmas begin to appear in some of our favourite stores!

sounds like you are keeping busy!
Have fun with school. cheesy
(still cannot figure out why Nipp-is-sing is a censored word here?)

It was about 48*with strong winds when we woke up this morning and although it warmed up slightly, it's back there again and both the dogs are hogging a radiator each!!

I don't know how I manage either! Lol! The baby is very easy to watch but the 2 older boys like to argue and get rowdy a lot. They are actually at their best in public, thank goodness! My mom, husband and son help out when they can.

For those who are interested, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra has released the dates for their annual November-December tour! They put on a fantastic show and I highly encourage everyone to go see them! It is a great musical performance!!

Unfortunately, I cannot attend this year. They are coming to Ottawa on December 22nd and I will already be in Sault Ste. Marie for the Holidays by then. Still, I hope many others can see them!

Love them! It would be nice if I could catch a show this year, wil have to see what happens. cheesy
thanks fo the info

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

School starts back on Friday, and my whole house is in a depression...LOL! They are blowing their last week of summer break worrying about next week. I guess I do the same thing each time I have to leave my beloved mountains to go home. I can't even enjoy my last day in the mountains for pouting about having to leave the next day. Haha!

It's hot here like it is everywhere, but September is coming and, hopefully, bringing some moderating temperatures.

Have a great day, everyone! cheesy

This house is the same way the week before school. However, this year I will be in Vermont and do not get home until the day before school starts again, so will not have time to think about it.

I am sorry to hear you are having a rough day. I hope it gets better for you real soon!
Maybe you need to be in a Marshmallow World, Enjoy!
