Good evening, friends! Two weeks til spring break and I can't wait! I've mind my mind up that I will start my Christmas notebook then! I'm excited!

Great weekend here. Very productive. Had some downtime, some worktime, and some cleaning time. Now...it's bedtime!

See everyone in the morning!

Good Sunday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

Well, I worked all day again yesterday at the store, and man were we busy! I don't know if I mentioned that my father-in-law was the subject of a news segment focusing on small business in the towns surrounding Savannah, but it was a lot of fun to watch. Since then, we've had lots of visits from new customers who didn't even know we were there! I didn't really expect that much to come form the interview, but yesterday was super busy just from new folks who saw the show!

Here's a link to the interview, if you're interested. That's my mother-in-law at the end. She runs a restaurant down the road.

Linky!

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

I loved that news story and got a big laugh at the end with what your mother-in-law said, "I love people and if you want to be close to people, cook for them". I laughed because you always talk about her cooking. Her slogan worked very well for you! She is sweet. I also noticed they rarely take a day off but thanks to you, Mr. Bradmac, they get a day off here and there. cheesy

The store reminds me so much of the feed store I work for. It has been around nearly 80 years and has that "step back in time" feel. It's a great family environment!

Ah! A teaser, eh? You have Carl on pins and needles.
(And you haven't lived until you've seen a camel on pins and needles!)

With that tantalizing thought, Good New Week Morning, Folks!

Another week -- another count number:
Days to the Season: 251
Days to Christmas Day: 293
ONE WEEK from tomorrow, Guys. The 1/3 Season mark will be here.
Movin' on -- gotta keep on movin' on!

We are again back down into the 30's as winter keeps its grip as long as it can.
Nice and sunny though, with no wind or forecast rain.
(We had plenty of the wet stuff yesterday, hopefully moderating our drought a bit.)

Now y'all have a Mahvelous Monday, y'heah!

Christmas-A-Holic · Mar 7, 2011

So much for catching up on the countdown. I have been so busy all weekend and my grandkids will be here any minute. I will be back later to try to read all the post.

Have a great day!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

My walking exercise this morning was more grueling than I remember it ever being...whew! My legs are still tingling! I'll take that as a good sign that I got some much-needed exercise in.

I've got a full day's work piled up on my desk here, so I better jump on it.

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Here is something funny about Christmas lights.

Last night Wayne and I were watching the movie Moonshot, true story about Apollo 11 moon landing. At one scene Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were attending a Christmas party in 1968 and Buzz stepped out on the porch. There was several strands of miniature LED lights decorating it!!! Ha ha, they had LED Christmas lights in 1968? I started laughing. I guess they didn't think anyone would notice the difference. Us Christmas fanatics can spot them miles away! cheesy

Good Monday morning. Should I sing "Monday Monday"? haha. No I wont. Under 300 days till Christmas 2011? Makes me happy to see that! I got a new hard drive from my Wife yesterday. An early birthday gift. Good thing too because I had very little space left! Watched some more Drew Carey last night and had a good weekend. Why is it monday again? hmmm. Oh well. This commercial Dog is not going to ruin....wait. hahah. I have been watching A Charlie Brown Christmas too much on the weekend. William loves it. He repeats when Lucy says "NO NO NO. Listen all of you!" and he says no no no and wags his finger at the tv. I love it that he loves all the Charlie Brown specials. Something nice to share with him. Well back to work I go! Have a fantastic Monday and remember....It will be friday soon!

Good morning,

Today has not started to well, I went down to the basement before work and we had quite the flood, the snow melting and it poured all night long, we have 1.5-2 inches of water through most of it. I called out from work to take care of it, I have been able to get rid of some so far, but I got a phone call from LC's daycare he has a fever and I went and picked him up, so now my work on the basement has taken a backseat. He is all sniffly and tired so if I can get him to take a nap it will probably be best. I guess this is when a day off is not a day off.

Have the best Monday you can.

Good morning, Christmas friends. It's bright and sunny here in northern California, but the rain is supposed to start later. We had quite a bit of rain this weekend. I still have lots of work to finish before Friday (report card day). Oh, well, another day, another dollar! I hope you each have a great day. It will be greater with the advent of another Binger opera!!!

All together, now:
Bing-ER! Bing-ER! Bing-ER!

Good morning, everyone! Here's another fine work week under way. It's hard to believe, but Ash Wednesday is this week (already), and the time changes this weekend. The year is flying by!

I'm sorry to hear that

I feel your pain. A year ago our basement flooded from the sewer. I hope it didn't cause too much damage
