Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Seawaters]

I already know how to crochet. I sorted through some of my yarn last weekend. I have to finish an afghan that I am doing in hunter green, burgundy, and cream. It is WAY too hot here to work on it!!

Learn to crochet--? Nah, sounds like you'll be too busy to relax with hook and yarn ...



Speaking from experience, I second that.

Love your "racing" analogy. Also, yesterday my nose kept itching and I started sneezing. This morning, I have a scratchy throat! I asked for snow last year and didn't get it. I did NOT ask for a cold, and now I am getting it!!

Good Morning MMC!!!!!!!! It is going to be a hot one here in central Indy. We are slowly racing towards a high of 90 and then tomorrow we should see a high in the 60's. Hopefully my cold doesn't come back. I just got over the cough yesterday.

This is so funny. Maybe they were saying that, too, and I didn't hear it correctly either!!! In the children's prayer, I used to think that "if I should die before I wake..." was "fasha die before I wake." I never could figure out what a fasha was!!!

Growing up in Northern Indiana, I always heard the saying as crime-in'ital... I could never decipher what they were saying and always wondered what the old folks meant when they said crime-in'ital. Then one day while watching Grumpy Old Men, I heard John Gustafson (Jack Lemmon) say crime-in-Italy. I thought, "that's what all those old people I grew up around were saying!" LOL

I guess it was a phrase that was coined for an unusual amount of crime in Italy at the time??? But Seawaters is right about the tranlation and meaning of the phrase. LOL

My granddaughter will be over a little later this morning so I got to sleep in! We will probably go to the gym today then head home to listen to some Christmas music and catch up on some cleaning.

I will need some Christmas music, the temps are jumping back up to 106 today! No more opening up the windows for the next several days. Time to put the ac back on. =(

Christmas music will cool things off! Do you all agree? =)

sounds like a fun day!

Since both my girls have moved out, my son and I have been rearranging the whole house and getting rid of tons of stuff! Christmas music is a great way to keep a person moving!

I am on my way to school but wanted to drop by and say, "Hey." It is going to be hot again today. I know fall is out there somewhere. If s/he stops by your place, please send him/her to California!! And in the words of Made, "Have a great day, everyone!!!"

Good Morning, Friends!
Ah! A kindred soul who has seen the light!

we will enjoy a cup at the Pines tomorrow!...and I found the perfect tea pot to use...

"Fasha"... LOL

I totally understand. I was sure that song was "bringing in the "sheeps!"" LOL

Holy cow, I've been so busy I haven't had time to poke my nose in on this thread for a while. Looks like that big goal of 20,000 posts is going to be in the rear-view mirror soon!

 

[Christmasstar]

Evening all!

Bad Friday at work. Good Saturday and Sunday. Back on Monday! Sheesh. heh. Oh well. Not much new with us. We need to replace the front steps on our deck. That will be done this weekend. We purchased a new mattress! That's coming this Sunday. Can't wait. Well back to work I go. Just checking in and saying hi. I'm having an interview for a job. Please throw prayers my way, I need a break! Thanks all!

I don't know if I'll get a chance to post tomorrow. My brother's girlfriend is having surgery tomorrow morning at Hilton Head Island, and I feel like I need to be there for them. She's pretty young, early 30's, and has breast cancer. I'm sure she'd appreciate a prayer sent her way!

Have a great evening, my Christmas friends! cheesy

I will have her in my prayers, keep us posted.

I'm going to really sell myself to them. I NEED a new job. Hows everyone's day going? Its Pinesday tomorrow! Carl said something to me about a special surprise? What could it be?! Well back to work I go. Have a great day all!

On a side note...Last year a few neighbor ladies from the lake & I went to a Holiday open house in a quaint little town last year. We all said we want to go again this year. I just rec'd an email about the Holiday Open House. It's Nov. 17-20 this year. Soooo, I sent the link to all the girls. Not even 5 minutes later I had an email back from one of the girls saying "TOOO EARLY!" :-o BAH HUMBUG!!!! :???:
