Christmas Countdown - 2011

[ChristmasHeart]

I guess being exhausted didn't help me sleep. I fell asleep at 10:30 p.m., woke up at 12:00 a.m., went back to sleep, woke back up at 2:00 a.m. and never went back to sleep. I am now up for the day. This should be interesting to see how I function on 3 and half hours sleep and watching 3 grandkids all day.

Wish me luck! =)

Good lluck CAL! I thought I had a bad night at only 4.5 hours sleep (it was a messed up night for me too). Come to think of it - my Mom had a rough night too. Could it be something in the air? Anyway - I'm so sorry you had such a rough night. I do hope your day goes smoothly and that you somehow get supernatural energy!


Good morning to all of MMC!

Well....between the lack of sleep (mentioned above) and my ankle (I hurt it a bit while at Centre Island on the weekend)...there was no running for me this morning...*sigh*. I was really hoping - but if I pushed myself, I would be out of the running for a lot longer than a couple of days. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow morning!

I don't think my sore ankle will prevent me from scoping foor Christmas presents on my lunch break today! Ha!

Does anyone else feel it? The magical feel of Christmas in the air?! Its getting stronger and stronger as the days go by...and I'm beside myself excited about it! My imagination is in overdrive these days picturing what everything is going to look like in just a few short months...red...green...silver...gold (and so-on)!

I JUST LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

Ha!...I bet you do too!

Have a merry day everyone!!

Good morning, MMC!

I'm getting quite a bit done this morning - did some research online to see if the hours for my trash pick-up were changed. They weren't so I have to make a call in a few to see why my stuff wasn't picked up. Got my workout in while listening to it rain outside - what a lovely and relaxing way to exercise. I don't think I've enjoyed a workout more than I did today! It has been raining quite a bit, and we so needed it to!!!! This is going to make the garden go crazy with growth and it might keep the trees from dropping fruit - lost quite a bit of late

I need to feed the fur kids and make a phone call and then work - busy, busy, busy! Love it!!!

Have a great and Merry day!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck - I hope the day is a relaxing one for you and you get great sleep tonight!!

No sleep + 3 grandkids = relaxing? :lol:

I actually feel decent right now. I just hope I feel that way all day. =)

Yesterday the grandkids and I played some board games and cards. I then asked, "do you guys want to play 52 card pick up"? Both my grandsons were so excited and said, "yes"! then "grandma, are you going to play"??? I said, "I think I will sit this one out". I got the cards and threw them all over the living room floor and said, "ok, pick them up"! They started screaming with excitement as the hit the floor and scurried all over picking them up! Then they wanted to play again??? I thought I had tricked them and instead they loved the game! I guess they tricked me. Ha ha!

Hey everyone! I've got a very busy day planned today, but I'm hoping to fit in a tiny bit of Christmas fun!

I'm headed out to get some stuff done for work real quick and then going to have coffee with a friend. I have a TON of other stuff to do today, but because I'll be meeting my friend in a town about 30 min away - I'm going to take a stop in to visit the Hobby Lobby there!!!! I don't make it to that area very often, so I'm really excited to have a reason to be there. I can't wait to see what Christmas stuff my store has out!

Also on tap for today, shopping for a birthday present for DD and getting the things together for her party that I've yet to plan for this Sunday, finishing shopping for the things I need for a baby shower that I am hosting this Saturday. Then tonight we're taking DD to the baseball game for her birthday! Yay!

Its still going to be a hot one again today. Boo! Hopefully it cools off quick at the game tonight, but I'm not holding my breath. Stay cool everyone!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Carl seems a bit confused tonight...

He was just wondering how I managed to fit that whole piece of cake in my mouth at once. The cake was delicious by the way.

That made me cry. What a bitter sweet moment.

Me too.. Bless Those people!

Maybe that will work to get them to clean up the whole house.

Is it just me or since this major Heat wave to hit pretty much all the states this year. Does it seem like all of sudden the summer is dragging a whole lot.

Yes I agree, this summer is dragging on...it has been too hot for too long and it's not even over yet!! At this point I would be happy to see a day below 90 degrees. Can't wait for Fall and Thanksgiving, ready for a change of scenery.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It rained yesterday afternoon, but when it stopped, my son and I finally went fishing. It was beautiful! It was about 75°, the breeze was still, the pond had about 6" of fog on the top, and the sun was setting behind the pine trees. We didn't catch anything, but we didn't care! We had a few strikes, just enough to get the old adrenalin going, but for the most part, we just enjoyed being outside together.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Wellll..... GOOD MORNING!
Ok Who am I kidding, i'm only up until my boyfriend leaves for work, then back to bed for me!! haha

Yesterday went for jog #2... all I can Say is ow.. I was fairly depressed to see what a year without jogging can do to your stamina... used to jog for 45 mins... now its about 2 seconds :sad: but in due time I will be back to 45

Unfortunately I missed party-time at the pines yesterday *sigh*... perhaps next wednesday i'll have my mind with me hahaha

Well hope everyone has a lovely morning! I'll be back later before I take off to work.

Good Morning!

Carl seems a bit confused tonight...

Hmmmm.....
Think I would caption that "I can't believe Binger drank that whole thing!"

Well, let's drink in the new count figure instead of cough-ee, OK?:
Days to the Season: 108
Days to Christmas Day: 150
Say hey!
One week from tomorrow -- the 100-day Season Milestone, #12 on our handy-dandy marker chart found at post #1 of this thread.
Mercy me!

Hot! - Hot! - Hot!
Ninety-nine here yesterday and 99 again predicted for today, with 101 tomorrow then back to 99 for Saturday.
And the humidity!
(I envy Carl and the lofty Shispering Pines above all this!)

You have a Thrilling Thursday and relish the thought of Weekend Eve arriving tomorrow!
{{ No Carl, NOT relish-coffee blend. Please!!}}
