Ok, so maybe I'm going to start catching up now.....can't stay away from here...Facebook just isn't as good....

It's for real, but when I tracked it down, it said "this product is currently not available." It was on Solutions.com. But how about this instead? (Read the reviews---it comes highly recommended!)

I need one of those!!!! It would probably scare my nieces though.

MerryCarey, I just might have to order that music playing toilet paper holders! That would impress the guest. Ha ha! =)

I know my grandkids would love it. It would be great for those who are potty training!

Wayne is going golfing with the guys from church today. I am so glad he is going to have some fun, he works so hard and deserves a play day! He owns a set of golf clubs and they collect too much dust. He needs dust them off and use them! =)

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!! We are going to start warming up again today. We should reach the low 70's. I am going to do a tune up on mom's car today and then I will kick back and watch some football. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody know of any good Christmas movies on Netflix? I can't come across anything but Christmas Carol (Jim Carrey version) :-/

Good morning, Christmas friends. It is minorly cool this morning, but I know the temps will climb into the 90s, at least. I will be helping hubby in the garage arrange our stored stuff so we have room to move the furniture in when it is time to work on the remodeling. Then we will head to Chico to buy supples for the new fence and food supplies. We normally make menus for two weeks with an accompanying grocery list. Then we are going for the shrimp special at Red Lobster! I hope everyone has a great Saturday!

The Detroit Tigers have won their first division since 1987

:dance:

I read this when I woke up this morning. Great stuff! Even though I am Canadian, I have always been a Tigers fan. Detroit is much closer to Sault Ste. Marie than Toronto (I grew up in the Sault and my family still lives there). Excited for the playoffs!

Good Saturday morning, my Christmas friends!

I am once again posting live from Bernie's General Store in beautiful, downtown, metropolitan Bellville, GA! Breakfast is cooked and in the warmer, the coffee is brewing and the weather is beautiful! I dont know what the temp is, but when I walked out with shorts on this morning, I almost turned around to get some long pants.

We might even get some rain today!! Lord, that would be nice!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Care to switch temperatures for a little bit? You can handle it, Brad! Kidding though. I really like the fall chill that is now in the air. It's perfect. It's only getting up to about 58F here today, but last night it got all the way down to 40F! Yes, you read that right. Chilly, but perfect sleeping weather!

No count?! Oh! Crown is currently active in this thread. I'll wait until he posts!

Good Morning!
Welcome to our first Weekend of double-double digits!

That's right!
Now BOTH of our counts have dropped below 100:
Days to the Season: 57
Days to Christmas Day: 99
*****Mercy Me!!*****
And what's more.....
(Hold onto your Santa hats again -- real tight!)
.....we are only 8 days off from our NEXT Milestone, the 3/4 mark to Christmas Day. One week from tomorrow!!
(I don't know about you, but this count is getting scary!)

Well, rainy and chilly here where it's been 58 degress and holding all morning.
However, the sun is supposed to be back tomorrow with a return to more seasonable weather by Monday.

You have a Sensational Saturday, Everyone.
I hope your Weekend is off to a fantastic start!

Double digits!!

Even though I have been posting for a bit already this morning - Good morning, everyone!!

A fantastically cool fall morning here in Ottawa. We're staying in the mid 50s today, which still allows me to wear shorts - I like this weather. It is so great to see no more triple digits in the count. That's 265 straight days of triple digits - all gone! I don't know about scary, as stated by Crown, but it is certainly getting exciting... Unless the Count becomes scarier as it closes in on Halloween?! Sounds possible to me.

The Blockbuster Video by our home is going out of business. My roommate (Mike), and I are taking advantage of the opportunity to look for some sales. Otherwise, some friends and I may go to Red Lobster for some delicious Endless Shrimp. In between, I may do a running workout, but we'll see. I'm still a little sore from the gym yesterday. It should definitely be a fun day!

8 more days until the next milestone! 3/4 to Christmas Day!? Hooray! Have a great Saturday, everyone! It's the weekend! Enjoy it while you can!

Double digits....nice....

Didn't get to sit on the deck today....rain.....ugh. No yard work, though. Guess I will just stay in the house and watch football. Darn (cough, cough). Wife is already complaining!

Going to cook later this afternoon. Seems like today is a good soup day. Maybe some good ol potato soup will hit the spot.

Right now, we are about to have white chocolate chip pancakes. If you haven't ever tried them, you need to! Then....well...maybe a nap....

I love Saturday!

99 days already! It's hard to believe but it's a very welcome sight. As is the cooler weather in NC. We had a small celebration for the 100 day mark with a nice supper and the official start of watching all of our Christmas DVDs. My father in law saves his coin change all year long and uses it as his gift buying money so we rolled about half of that last night. Nearly 200 dollars. It's amazing the way it saves up without even knowing it. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Good morning everyone!
Just thought I'd let you guys know that my birthday week/weekend was really fun, and I love the tattoo! I got so many compliments on it.
The weather here has changed from summer to fall so quickly. I just want to skip Halloween and go straight to November! The colors on a tree across the street from me have changed in one small section.. but I noticed it so it got me excited.
Have a great weekend everyone!!

Good evening, Christmas friends. Tonight's dinner was out of this world. Hubby made homemade spaghetti. The sauce was superb! In addition, he is cleaning up the kitchen! I met with my financial advisor at Edward Jones and got great news on my retirement!! It just seems like everything is falling into place! I feel so lucky! Have a great rest-of-the-evening!

Glad to hear that all is falling into place.
