Christmas Countdown - 2011

[xmas365]

Hey Guys/gals! I love reading up here when I can...I must say I am having a really really bad day..I know we all have em, and usually I can take it in stride but some things are really getting to me over here. I at least can come here and read up and get feeling better about things in no time though. I hope all of you are having a great weekend! I have 5 weeks until I get home 34 days but who is counting? take care and talk to you all soon!

I hope your day got better, glad to see your countdown to home is that low.

Good afternoon dear Christmas family !!

I am just stopping by to tell you I FINALLY got to go to a Hobby Lobby !!!!!! There is one in Fairlawn, OH, which is the closest one to where I live - My husband surprised me. He had been doing some work on my car and after he finished he suggested we take it out and see how it is running - to Hobby Lobby !!!

I was so happy and so appreciative !! I am so impressed with Hobby Lobby !! It is SO MAGINAL !!

I got TONS of Christmas smelling candles (votives and tea lights) that smell like Christmas and Halloween too ( pumpkin scent and evergreen )

I am on my way to Mass for a change so I have to run. Christ deserves much more from me but at least I can give Him one afternoon xo

Take care Christmas family !!!!!! I LOVE HOBBY LOBBY !!!!!!

I am glad you got to go there! The closest one to me is in Manchester, NH. 75 miles away, It will be a little while til I go there.

It reminds me of Yogi Bear following his nose to a picnic basket

Good afternoon,

My day off is here! Just sitting in AC comfort and MMC-ing. It was a long busy day, but relaxation has kicked in. I probably will pick up my sleigh tomorrow, if it will fit in the minivan. Probably watch a movie tonight, and plan out more for Christmas and write down more ideas for my future store.

Have a good evening.

I'm up but I could go for a cup of that coffee. I'm dragging this morning.

I hope you got your coffee and it worked! I'm dragging this afternoon - rain storms always do that to me and we just had a 2-hour one.

Good morning, Christmas friends. With the whole house fan on, it is cool inside. We are headed for higher temps today, though. I have work to do: find my husband's car keys. I had to use the small car to drive to school one day last week while my husband took my car to fill with gas. I have no idea what I did with those keys after I got home! Yes, Made, this is the second time I have done this; and it's all in the same year!!! Have a great day, everyone.

I hope you find your keys!

I hope your day has improved! Honestly, I think all of us on the Countdown are counting down to the day you return - you are surely missed on here!! Take care, Neal!!!!

decided to go on google map and see where this place was you always talk about. Found Bellville with no problem and went to street level to see if I could find Bernies. Dropped down to find I was right in front of the store!
nice place!
Enjoy your day!

How neat - I will have to look some places up on there now!

nice warm sunny day here, going up to 27c.
One more sleep and then I leave for Vermont!!!

I am taking my laptop with me so I can keep in touch.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Have a great vacation!!!

The coffee did work. Thanks!!

It seems the rain that we were supposed to get headed your way instead. Hopefully we will get a little bit overnight.

A long day at Fenway---the Sea Dogs (AA team) lost, the Pawsox (AAA team) were losing when we had to leave to catch the train, and we heard that the Sox were losing in KC. We must be a jinx!

Happy to be back home again. Time to relax.

At least you were at the crown jewel of ballparks all day, I love Fenway Park.

 

[xmas365]

I am going to wish everyone a good night now, I may be "riding" my sleigh home tomorrow, I am excited. :???:


Have a good night!

I was at Mass and then came home and started dinner: Chili Relleno casserole and homemade Spanish rice. I noticed that our Missal goes to Thanksgiving and the next one we get will be the Advent one!! Hooray! Marking time!

I'm so lonely, where is everyone tonight? cheesy

Yes, you're right---there's certainly something about that ballpark. As insanely expensive as it is, we usually take in at least one game there during the season.

CM3,
I meant to ask what you are going to be doing as part of the Christmas Crew? Congratulations on your promotion!

I'm feeling stupid this morning ... I went to a couple of user profiles to leave a visitor message, and on some, there was no form to type a visitor message into. I'm not a frequent user of the feature, but I've never seen that happen before. What determines whether you can leave a visitor message on a profile? (Or is my netbook buggy?)

Tisk....Tisk .....Tisk.....What's this I hear ??? SELF-NEGATIVITY !!! .......you lose 5 points !!!!!! xoxoxoxo and you are NOT being stupid. I have noted a couple of profiles where there did not seem to be a place for visitor messages....xo

Hey Seawaters !! Actually I am a regular Crew Member but the Mistress of Real Thanksgiving !!! In fact, the very first article from me is on Real Thanksgiving right now called Thanksgiving Planning !! xo

I can't sleep. An hour ago I could barely keep my eyes open. Then I got up and walked the 9 steps to my bed and some how I received an extra boost of energy along the way. Oh well. I have some work to do anyways.
