Christmas Countdown - 2011

[lauriebear]

Hi everyone, what a busy morning, it is 11:30 and I haven't done 1/2 of what I wanted too!!! I made the nicest Strawberry & Cheese Danish they came out so light and yet the filling was nice and dense. This was the first time I ever made these, I like testing them at home on the family, Snickers (my dog) gave me her lip smacking approval!!!

Hope everyone has an awesome day, now I need to catch up with all the going's on

Good morning,

Spent the morning getting the boys ready for school and preschool, then I got to play in the water in the basement, I removed more than 100 gallons of water from the basement using the ShopVac. Then I went to my in-laws to borrow the high speed fan to finish drying everything up. Stopped at Dunkin Donuts for a cherry-lemonade coolatta, they are good but give you really bad brain freeze. Just relaxing now in the peace and quiet, probably watch something Christmassy. Funny, as I am typing this a commercial for a pawn shop came on TV and they were playing Jingle Bells and talking about "extra money for the holidays" I guess they are getting the jump early.


Have a great day!

I just looked out my kitchen window, and I think "fall" is here early. The leaves are changing color rapidly and pretty soon the grapevines will be ready to be pulled. This year I plan on making a grapevine tree, taller than I am. I want to decorate it for the holidays cheesy

It feels like Fall here today, too; it's only 77 degrees, which is really nice for August in our area. The sky is that really deep blue that you see in Fall skies. Very nice day!

Welcome to Tuesday everyone! I saw Carl running around at the store the other day. Picking up stuff for the pines tomorrow. What is he UP TO? Not sure. Said he had to run. Something about leaving the coffee pot on. haha. Its a good day so far. Nice out, not too hot. I can smell Fall in the air. I said it before but I will say it again, its almost SEPTEMBER!!!! Exciting news for all of us. They announced on the radio on the 25th that there was 4 more months to Christmas. That made me smile. Well back to work I go! Have a merry day everyone!

strange, even though I should be mush closer to the pines, it takes the same amount of time to get there as from home...must be the magic of the place!!!

Good day, MMC friends! Both kids are currently taking a nap and my husband is out cutting the grass. I have to start going through my daughter's clothes that I have boxed away - to see what I want to sell back or give away. That is going to take me forever. I have 11 bins (she is going to be 2 in a few weeks and I have just packed them away.) Oh well...hope it doesn't take too long! I'll be back on sometime this evening! Have a good day everyone!!!

Usually it takes 5 to 9 days. If you ordered it online you can go on and check your order status and it will show you the ups tracking number. Normally the stuff for the midwest comes out of Raleigh, NC so it may take a little longer because of Irene.

Hey CM3.. I think it usually takes about 7-10 days. I have ordered a few things from them but it has been some time... hope this helps! You also may be able to track your order if they gave you a tracking #

Woo Hoo! TSO is going to be at the Palace December 17 - I am so going to go!!!!!!!!

They are coming to Atlanta Dec.2, and Jacksonville, FL on Dec. 8.

Jacksonville is probably closer for me, and the traffic isn't as bad as Atlanta. I hope Nancy wants to go!
