Christmas Countdown - 2011

[MerryCarey]

now I need a nap. Why don't work desks come with pillows? It would be very useful right now.

Just for you, MerryB.

@louann.....who is lola?

 

[MerryCarey]

I am a little saddened, nothing tragic! cheesy

I have an angel that I have put on top of my tree for the past 23 years and it has 10 miniature Christmas light bulbs that lights it up. I have NEVER had to replace 1 light bulb in the past 23 years. I just now I plugged it in, it lit up and all of them burned out at once! I am actually shocked it has lasted that long! It's also surprising knowing that my tree stays up 2 months straight every year and the lights have handled that!

I was trying to see how much longer the lights would last. Now if I can get a set of lights for my Christmas tree to last that long!

Please be careful if you replace the bulbs in the angel, C-A-H---I speak from painful experience. My mom had a treetop angel that sounds like yours. It had mini-lights around its head and one in each hand. One bulb burnt out, the others were still lit---but they were hot enough to blister my fingers! Since then I've never bought anything lit that doesn't have the UL label ...

Lola is CM3's newest furbaby---a chihuahua. IIRC, Lola is coming to stay on Saturday. (CM3, correct me if I'm wrong!)

Wow! It is really windy out all of a sudden. Earlier today I was outside and didn't need a coat and now I need more than a light jacket. The forecast for tomorrow is snow showers - finally! - so I made a big pot of cheezy potato soup. The kitchen smells good!

Hubby, my MIL, and I are sitting here watching the CMA's. I should be taking a nap, but I love the CMA's and can't seem to fall asleep. Maybe I will attempt it here again in 15 or 20 minutes. DH isn't really feeling any better. He ate some soup for dinner and he said that was a huge mistake. I hope he feels better soon - he has that test in the am for his fire instructor!

Hope everyone is having a great evening! I am headed to work at 11. Talk to you all tomorrow! :-D

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Well, election day is behind me, and since there were no last-minute write-in candidates, and no angry mobs in the streets with torches and pitchforks, I am now the Mayor-Elect of Bellville, GA! Our present Mayor will keep the office until the end of the year. I'll be sworn in one day in the first week of January. Surreal.

 

[Christmasstar]

Yikes...go off to do a few things and I have 12 pages to catch up on!!!
And I am told I talk to much!!!

Well my local radio station is cheating. I had "what are you waiting for" up to 70 percent and an hour later it was down to 33 percent. So "right after Thanksgiving" is winning again with 37 percent. They've never started before black Friday before so I'm sure that's when they will start again.

Shenanigans! Shenanigans! There are shenanigans going on here!!!!

Why have a poll if they switch it to what they want? :x
