Well good night all...This is turning out to be a very busy fall. Work is crazy lately and Brandi is having a tough time this semester with a few classes she is teaching. They are getting ready for final exams in a few weeks,then the kids will be out for "winter break" I think they now calling it here. I am about to turn in I guess. have a good night all!

Awww....(((HUGS))) to Brandi ! xo I remember when it was called "Christmas Break".......sigh..xo

Hello all. =)

Hope you all had a great Monday! I had a very productive first day back at work. The co-worker that had apparently been talking crap...well I just dealt with him like I normally do, didn't confront him or act differently, but it still hurts that things were said and he can't be man enough to say it to my face. I've gotta take my emotions out of it though or it'll drive me insane.

I think it is AWFUL that anyone could say anything about you !! You are just too wonderful !!! (((HUGS)))) I dealt with a bully where I used to work......she would wait until nobody was around and then say things you would never believe to me......I still have nightmares about her to this day......You are right.......this person is a coward where you work.......not a man at all xoox

good morning/or evening! Insomnia stinks! Have a good night everyone!

I hear ya Dawg !!! We seem to be on the boards a lot in the wee hours !! Hope you get some rest ! ((HUGS)) to you and Brandi and Dawg Jr. and of course ((Snowball)) xo

Good evening everybody. Had my first official game of futsal this afternoon. I had to fill in for my friend who was away. We drew 4-4 and i scored 4 goals. Fast game. Right now, i'm just relaxing and listening to one of my favourite songs. Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up.

[Meceka]

I'm checking in with my Christmas friends late tonight! Hope you all had a great weekend & a great Monday!

I had a pretty fun day...I took the plunge & sent out the email inviting my family over for Thanksgiving! 41 people! YIKES. I love, love, love hosting Thanksgiving but the only downfall is not being able to put up my tree the Friday before Thanksgiving - which means I will put it up the Friday after Thanksgiving & that cuts into my black Friday shopping time. Ah well...it is what it is! Let the fun begin!

Oh, Holiday, what a lovely Thanksgiving you are going to have! Have a MERRY day!

good morning/or evening! Insomnia stinks! Have a good night everyone!

Yes, it does! I was awake by 2:30 and still hadn't fallen back asleep after 4:30. I hope you have a good day, Dawg!

Why did I get up at 3:55am? Especially when I went to bed at 1am. It's going to be a long day.

It's going to be a long day for me, too. I hope your day goes well, made, and that it is a MERRY one!

ohh shellie that cup of coffee looks AWESOME... ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh YABBA

You took the words "write" out of my keyboard :wink:

Hope all is well with you all

Good morning! @made-yes it's going to be a long day for me too! Very little sleep and alot of work piled up on my work station. It's the end of the month paperwork that has to be closed out by monday which is the 31st. And with it being on monday means it will be a very bad busy monday.lol and it's halloween my 2nd fav holiday! Oh well I hope everyone has a great day. Here the weather is great fall weather. Right now it's 49f but it's going to get up to 81 today and tomorrow. I think rain could be coming friday then a major cooldown this weekend in time for Halloween! Have a great day everyone!

MORNING!! Enjoy my coffee out of my Santa mug at the moment and just read the Merry Newsletter. I even threw on some Christmas socks this am! I am wearing a red shirt so I figured I should match... it's only right!

We have a slight chance of wet snowflakes this weekend... I am crossing my fingers!

 

[Bradmac]

You should use that camera to take a picture of Santa landing on your roof on Christmas Eve. cheesy

No way! I'm not getting on the naughty list!!

hope you enjoy the christmas pallet!...enjoy decorating for halloween!

I love winter, I don't think I ever saw 4 feet of snow in my front yard at one time like last year, which was absolutely amazing. I just love snow for Christmas.

I love snow for christmas as well! i do have good hope this year, it's never as extreme as you had last year!!

Hope you all had a great Monday! I had a very productive first day back at work. The co-worker that had apparently been talking crap...well I just dealt with him like I normally do, didn't confront him or act differently, but it still hurts that things were said and he can't be man enough to say it to my face. I've gotta take my emotions out of it though or it'll drive me insane.

that is awful! the best you can do is approach it rationally, even though that is sometimes really hard to do, and just realize that he is the one with a problem, and you are reacting to it in a really great and respectful way... he is probably saying that because he might be insecure or something like that... good luck though!! it's not easy to have college who does that!

I had a pretty fun day...I took the plunge & sent out the email inviting my family over for Thanksgiving! 41 people! YIKES. I love, love, love hosting Thanksgiving but the only downfall is not being able to put up my tree the Friday before Thanksgiving - which means I will put it up the Friday after Thanksgiving & that cuts into my black Friday shopping time. Ah well...it is what it is! :> Let the fun begin! The emails are flying in. My sil offered to bring pumpkin pie. My oldest sister ALWAYS makes the completely from scratch pumpkin pie. So my oldest sis said she would make mashed potatoes...my next oldest sister ALWAYS makes the mashed potatoes. Oh, it's all messed up this year! Ha ha ha! (kidding - it will be fine! Just kinda funny...) Mac & Cheese & chip dip coming from my oldest niece, buffallo chicken dip from another niece...ooh, I'm hungry for the Thanksgiving food already!

I'm in the middle of ordering some photo Christmas gifts AND our Christmas cards! :dance: My order has been "processing" for quite awhile. Hmmmmm.... I haven't received confirmation so I'm affraid to hit cancel. They have a 50% coupon that expires tonight so the server might be super busy!

hope you got to order your cards! Your thanksgiving sounds crazy fun hope you will make a great new tradition!

good morning/or evening! Insomnia stinks! Have a good night everyone!

hope you did get some sleep....insomnia is a very real problem... i have once read that it helps in 90% of the cases to get up at 5.30 for a week, and then wake up every day at no later than 7.30. I had this problem this summer, and since i started waking up early i never lay awake anymore, but when i started, i got real tired... maybe it could help for you as well?

Good Morning, Workday Two Guys!

Rise (but not as early as coffee-soaked Binger) shine and read the count:
Days to Halloween: 6 (UNDER a week away!)
Days to the Season: 19 (Wow! Under 20!
Days to Christmas Day: 61 (Two months from today!)
[These Milestones are making me dizzy!]

Hey!
Getting together your Christmas lists?
Thinking about decorating?
Planning that party or get-together?
(It may be getting later than you think!)

Not quite as cold for my morning walk today where we started under cloudless skies at 52 degrees, headed for a high in the low to mid 70's.
Even warmer for tomorrow and Thursday before colder weather returns just in time for the Halloween weekend.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone!
Keep the spirit of the Season in your heart today and always.
