Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Ahhh city folk! I grew up a farm, but now live in the city. I think I will get some straw again this year, always looks nice in the front yard.
Thanks for the info!

As long as I have worked there I still have not bought any bales of straw for my lawn but I keep saying I will. Maybe this year!

I have always wanted to get bales of straw but then I worry about mice! (and I just found mouse droppings in my kitchen, ack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just moved here a week ago and cleaned everything... guess they were subletting from the last owner!)
I love how the hay looks, though! Ooh, I love fall decor.

WOW! This has been a busy thread since the last time I posted! SWEET! I'm feeling all Christmassy today! Lol! I'm in the mood for cooking & baking & candles & yummy smells!! I think it was that really dreary day we had yesterday that put me in this "homey" mood! Ben Franklin is putting our more & more Christmas things every day!! LOVE IT!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Send that weather this way!

I keep telling the weather people that you need our weather down there but no one is listening....

 

[MsChristmas]

Gosh I dont get on for a day and I have soo much to catch up on!

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!

That is so sweet about your Son!!!!

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

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

YABBA!

Goodluck Binger!

The grandkids are super restless today. It is WAY TOO HOT to play outside and really can't go anywhere today. We have stuff going on at home. I finally put my grandsons on my treadmill and told them to run as fast as they can (with the safety clip on and supervised, of course). They love getting on the treadmill. They are worn out now and laying down watching, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and my granddaughter is taking a nap. Now I got to get busy and get some chores done. Be back soon!

HAHA, great idea!!!

We've been going through the same thing lately... too hot to be outside and a little one getting a bit bored...

CONGRATULATIONS!!

 

[JayIsh]

Crown! Your Countdown thread sets records EVERY year!!! Congrats my friend! Almost time to break out the Percy Faith!!!

Binger...Please stop talking about my can-cans...Folks are beginning to talk about you entering some sort of "lack-of-caffeine" hysteria!!!

I've begun cranking up the old "Radio Show Making Equipment" so stay tuned to MerryChristmasRadio for a new show to appear shortly!!!

The days and weeks fly by...I remember us being 3/4 of the way there to Christmas 2009 like it was three weeks ago, and here we are almost that to Christmas 2010!!!

God Bless Us, Everyone!!! :cry:

Good afternoon all.


Thank you all for the kind words yesterday, and I am in a better mood today. Sometimes it helps to be in a freezer for 2-3 hours to get in a better mood.
My little 2 y/o is a turd, this morning my wife left before any of us got up, so when I got up this morning, I let LC out of his room, I sat down and he was chasing the kittens around like he always does. He then comes in to the room with my wife's prescription bottle saying "I eat em all" I nearly had a heart attack because he knows how to open child proof caps and it was empty, I was flipping out, I called the wife and asked her about the pills and she said it was empty and she left it on the counter to remind her to call to refill. PHEEW!
I keep looking at the countdown clock and seeing 134 days til Christmas, and I don't really think much, and it hit me today that Christmas is just over 4 months away, it is getting so close to decorating time. WOO HOO!
Have a good day!

 

[Christmasstar]

Nooooooooooooo! You can't leave us!

That's so sweet, thank you!
I'm back!
Got the perfect shades of dusting powder and can now continue with the orchids. cheesy

Sounds like you have your hands full with that one! Thankfully the bottle was empty.

It's only been 15 hours for me and I still think it will take me an hour to get caught up. cheesy

He has the face of an angel, but the smile of a devil. We are in so much trouble with this one. cheesy

That would have scared me to death. I am glad that the bottle was empty. cheesy

I think I need to go buy one before I have to babysit my nieces again.

Wow you guys have been busy this morning!!!!!! I went to the grocery store and hobby lobby and came home to a ton of new posts to catch up on. I managed to not buy anything at hobby lobby today. The have gotten in alot more greenery and ornaments but still no smaller Santa's. It was nice to walk in from 92 degree weather and see Christmas wreaths and garland decorating the walls around half of the store. I need to do some cleaning this afternoon but I am not really that motivated to do it. I am thinking about a nap instead. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
