Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Crown 84]

I can't say that I am a big Starbucks/coffee/caffeine drinker, but I do enjoy a cup or two of Candy Cane Hot Chocolate during the Christmas Season!

You're giving Carl ideas again, Brent!

 

[MerryCarey]

Already busy at work---gotta run ...

Now I'm working on sending out some postcards to people (anyone else collect postcards? I love it!)

I collect July Fourth postcards, 'cause July Fourth is my birthday! I don't have a big collection, but I love it.

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!

I have a Christmas cup that I use all year long, and a favorite Christmas mug!

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

My son and I went to our hunting spot and hung the wildlife camera on a tree. I had no idea programming the crazy thing would be so complicated. We finally got it operating just before dark. In fact, it took six pictures of US before we could get out of the way! I can't wait to see what it took last night. If there are some cool pix, I'll post them.

I'm taking my son to guitar lessons this afternoon. I always like to take him because the music store owner who teaches him doesn't mind if I play every guitar he has in the store. Fun!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Does he live in the attic and only comes down for operas?! That is frightening!

Mah HAAAAAA... The evil twin!!!!

Hey all,

Here is the Jack Nicholson pumpkin my husband carved earlier =)

That was soooooo cool!!!!! Great pumpkin!!!!

Good evening, Christmas friends.

I am happy to say I am finally back to work! Worked both yesterday and this morning doing cash office...I have my first admin day back tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. I was able to get together with a friend I work with at both jobs and catch up on everything. Unfortunately there is a co-worker at Kohl's who said some things about me while I was out sick and it has me a little agitated about going back...but I guess you can't stop what people think, no matter what you do. (Apparently it was a miscommunication error between other co-workers not telling him that I was going to be out all week sick, and somehow I still got blamed? I dunno...) But I am happy to be feeling better and get out of the house!

Had a good weekend...went to a housewarming party for some close friends yesterday which was a lot of fun. The weather is beautiful right now...getting colder but still warm-ish out! Overall a nice end to what was a rough week.

Hope everyone has a great upcoming week!

Good to know you are back on your feet; ah don't pay any mind to all that nonsense, like you said some people will think what they want no matter what...

Snow is forecasted for wed

Burrrr... the FOUR letter S word burrrrr.....

I'm pretty sure that Carl keeps him locked up in the basement. I went down there to get some more coffee mugs for him last week and heard a weird banging sound coming from a locked room along one side.

Rattle and chain from the attic to the basement spooky bones clack, in there wake!!! Oh evil twin of Brentt we promise to give you treat and no trick this Halloween!!!! TEE HEE!!!!

Sorry, Crown. I forgot that Carl is easily excited but such things... But Candycane hot chocolate can be very delicious!

Good Morning Christmas Pals,

So nice to be back here sharing in the joys of the season. Last night I ran out to Walmart for a few things. I was almost moved to tears as I walked down the aisles of their Christmas tree and decorations displays. I must have spent over an hour going thru every Christmas CD in a cardboard bin. As tempted as I was, I didn't buy anything. I think this year, Walmart was late in getting their Christmas Displays up. Oh well, better late than never. Regardless of when it went up, I sure was very happy to see it. I can't believe Thanksgiving is 30 days away!!!! I hope everyone is having a GREAT day !!!!!

When do you start using your favourite Christmas mug, Brad!?

Good morning, everyone!

It’s Tuesday. Only three and a half more days of the work week remain. Hooray! The office is busy again today. My duties have finally started and we are processing payments. Thanks to two weeks off from doing so, we are fairly backed up. I’m sure that we’ll be back on serve with it tomorrow, however.

Hard to believe we are only 19 days away from the Christmas Season. But, it is even harder believe that we are only two months away from Christmas Day. Yes, only two months until Christmas!!

In regards to Christmas, I still have yet to experience my first Christmas commercial. I’m sure it will come soon. Everything usually starts about two months before… And, I don’t think I can wait until November. I know it’s exactly a week away, but I want to see the excitement now!

Hope all is well around your ends on this Tuesday. I should be getting back to work!

 

[brent]

Happy two months until Christmas!! Think about the excitement we will all have experienced in just two months time. The Season will be at its peak and we will all be celebrated the joy and happiness with our family and friends. Oh, the excitement! Again, Happy Two Months!! We're almost there, friends.

:-x

Hard to believe 2 months is it! I get nervous when I think about how fast time passes. I have to slow down and enjoy every little thing from now until New Years day! I don't want time to pass fast now... That has to be my goal this year... not to get ahead of myself and just slow down and savor and enjoy everything the season has to offer!

I have a Christmas cup that I use all year long, and a favorite Christmas mug!

I broke my boyfriends christmas mug last year when putting them away, we had matching cups, i feel really guilty, but today i saw some great christmas mugs, which i will surely buy for us, so we have matching christmas mugs again!

Hecccck YES! haha, 8 days till wally world is taken over by Christmas!

Woohoo! Can't wait!!

Just Impulse bought Michael Bubles new Christmas CD.........


And it is absolutely the best 14$ I have ever spent without second guessing it!

Good to know!! Between you & coach I'm sold! That's the next one I'll have to pick up =)

snowflake, i'm so happy harlowe's tests came back good. now don't you worry, having the internist look over her tests is just a precaution.

Thanks for that, merry~ I was worrying a bit! I didn't want anything to change the good news. xo

Good afternoon, everyone!

Also, my dad phoned on Friday and informed me that he was coming to visit this upcoming weekend. Awesome! It was strange. I saw the exact model and colour of my dad's car on Friday (a red 2010 Cadillac CTS) on my way into work on Friday and thought that it would be nice to see him very soon. I usually get to see him a few times a year (as he does not mind to make the 9 hour drive to visit). Talk about telepathic waves!

Have a great time with your Dad this weekend!!

It's after 5! I hope everyone has a wonderful day back at work and enjoy their evenings!

Hello all. =)

Was able to catch up on some tv shows DF and I had DVR'd...like the finale of So You Think You Can Dance (almost 3 months old, oops!), the last few eps of Dancing with the Stars, as well as eps of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The League. Now I'm working on sending out some postcards to people (anyone else collect postcards? I love it!) and generally cleaning around the house. Once everything is clean, I will feel much better!

Very cool,vsuclaribnl! I collect post cards from Wisconsin that hold a special place in my heart, especially ones from Up north, where we spent many summers of my childhood. I frame them, and scatter them throughout my house. They always bring a smile to my face!

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!

Love it!! Hope you get your snow!!

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

That was soooooo cool!!!!! Great pumpkin!!!!

Thanks, LB! Happy Tuesday, friend!! xo


:dance:

We have a chance to see them on thursday morning here in central Indy.

 

[kerstig]

Can you believe this: just when I move away from the town i have lived for over five years, they decide to open a year round christmas shop! :lol: i am sure i will visit there again

Some bad news: my new university has exams in the middle of the semester, so now i will be having an exam half november, which is bad, because now i can't go work on the christmas fair with my magazine. It is my favorite fair in the year... but you know, education is even more important than christmas, but it was a though one to swallow...

 

[made582]

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!!!! It's going to be a warm windy day here in central Indy. Then the temps are supposed to head back south tomorrow. I have discovered one good thing about getting up at 4am. I've already got all of my cleaning done. This afternoon I need to take the air conditioner out of my bedroom window. I don't think I'm going to need it anymore. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[snowflake22]

Good Morning, friends!!

It seems like we're all tired this morning!! I couldn't sleep last night, and only got a couple of hours in before the alarm went off. It was so hard to get out of bed!!!
I'm drinking lots of Diet Dew to get me through!

I listened to the Home Alone soundtrack on my way in to work

I'm getting so excited for Christmas commercials!! So far, it's just been the Glade Christmas candles one that is truly Christmassy. Even seeing the Puff's kleenex winter commercial makes me happy! Is that strange?! Wait a minute, who am I talking to?!?!

It's going to be a long work day- lots to catch up on.

Oh- here's the second pumpkin my husband carved over the weekend: Dawn Of The Dead. Creepy!



You may have to click on it to get a better look! :zombie:

Hope everyone has a great day!!

I have discovered one thing about getting up at 4am. I've already got all of my cleaning done.

It also makes the days sooo long too. I usually get up at 4 or 5. And everyone I know wonders why I go to bed so dang early...well it's because by the time 7pm comes I have been up for like 16 hours!

Hard to believe 2 months is it! I get nervous when I think about how fast time passes. I have to slow down and enjoy every little thing from now until New Years day!

I agree. I love all the excitement that I just get caught up in living the Season so quickly. This year, I want to enjot the Season as much as possible. As soon as I return home for the Holidays, it seems to especially fly by. There is still nothing like being around my family and some old friends... Hopefully, this year that part will slow down.

We have a chance to see them on thursday morning here in central Indy.

No snow in our forecast until the beginning of November. Seems a little late for Ottawa, but I am looking forward to seeing the first flakes flutter from the sky.
