Christmas Countdown - 2012

[shellie12]

They say that strange things can happen on "Leap Day", well yesterday at work it definitely seemed that way. One example was that one of our customers said we shorted them a pallet of paper (that's 40 boxes of printer paper). I checked our inventory and it checked out that we had what we were supposed to have, which meant that we did NOT short them the pallet. Well one of our drivers backed into one of the doors with an inbound load of paper and I happen to look into that trailer, and there was the missing pallet. How in the heck it got onto that trailer nobody knows. It wasn't the same trailer it was originally loaded on, and it didn't come from the same place we shipped it to. I felt like I stepped into the Twilight Zone.:lol:

Wood it have been carl playing with your head ????

Good morning, Christmas friends. I saw snow on the way to my three appointments yesterday. I even saw it snow for just under a minute!!! I guess that's better than nothing!

Hoping you got on alright yesterday !!

As there was not enough snow for you here is your own snowglobe. now you can have snow whenever you want

Good morning dear Christmas family !
I am like MerryCarey in that I haven't been posting much lately since my laptop died...but I stop by and read the posts and you are ALL always on my mind.
We have hit a patch of financial bad luck lately...we owe the Government taxes this year PLUS my car totally died...they think it "jumped time" or something like that and it is going to be costly PLUS my laptop is gone.... Oh well... at least it isn't that long now until Christmas in July !!
Sending love and ((((Hugs)))) to everyone including Ella, Harlowe,Daisy,Gomez, Snickers,Chico, Snowball, Sasha and Scooby

Sorry to hear that ,life sometimes can be so hard. do you ever notice that things happen in 3.s hope it gets easier for you

Hello, Christmas family! This week has been dragging for me, how about for anyone else? I am on spring break after my classes tomorrow, so I'm guessing the excitement of being off for a week is making this week go by slowly.
For some reason, I feel like the days/weeks/months are really flying by. It's March already?! It just doesn't seem right at all. I remember shopping for presents, decorating, and watching constant Christmas movies like it was yesterday. The depression that hit once the season was over is now long gone because I feel like we're already flying into the next Christmas season. All of the excitement will really hit with Christmas in July, and then I will start getting extremely excited by September. I remember this past September when I walked into Walmart and saw that they put all of their trees up, I was thrilled. I started buying the decorations as they put them out lol! I bought a nice countdown - it goes into the double digits, so I will be hanging it up when it hits 99 days!

HI i feel the same the weeks are just a flash.

Just want to say thanks to everyone that congratulated me on the mom

This article talks about the "lucky few" who get invited to Apple's release party for the latest iPad. They compare the anticipation of getting the invitation to Ralphie waiting for his Lil Orphan Annie Decoder Ring to come in the mail.

Be sure to read the last paragraph. cheesy

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I don't have the flu, but I do have an ear & throat infection. Yuck! So now I'm taking antibiotics. Still feel bad, but I came to work. As long as I'm not really contagious, I might as well feel bad here, huh?

Congrats to Shellie! An excellent choice for Member of the Month!!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

yuck is right, i hope you feel better fast. those antibiotics will hopefully work really quick!!

Good evening, everyone! How is everyone's day going? Mine is going well. We're just getting ready to eat dinner. We're keeping it pretty simple tonight. We're having ham BBQ, fries, and creamy noodles.

Tomorrow starts the weekend and it's my weekend off! DH has to work, but at least he will be home in the evenings with me! I don't go back to work until 11pm on Sunday night, so I am looking foward to it.

Nothing is new here. I work tonight yet. Going to spend some time with the family here after dinner. I am going to get caught up on the countdown until then.

Talk to you all later.

 

[merrymistletoe]

your dinner sounds yummy! i hope your weekend is a great one...enjoy every minute!:rudolph:

Who Me? Miss two Pine Gatherings in a row?
Nah way - I missed nearly 100 pages in posts so I guess it's true.

:give: I'll make it up to you tonight with a special performance - places everyone!

You too Carl!

Glad to see you, Auntie! :grin:

Got home safely about 6:45---thanks again to everyone for thinking safe thoughts for me! An irritating day in various ways, but I also got some good news, and it's good to be home.

Glad you got home! Sorry to hear you had sort of a crappy day, but wonderful to hear you got good news! :-D

 

[sugar142286]

I got to come home early, and beat the freezing rain. The roads were not too bad yet. They are calling for about a foot now.

Glad you got home safely! How much did you end up getting? :dance:

I didn't find it, but I found other songs so I'll let you, the "merry Pine dwellers" pick from this list. I'll try and dig it up when I have more time.

Which merry version do you want to hear me perform next week based on a non-Christmas song performed by:
Paul Muriat
Nat King Cole
David Bowie
Peaches & Herb
Hoagy Carmichael / Frank Loesser

David Bowie, please! I think you do such a great job!!!! You get 100% from me! :grin:

 

[sugar142286]

Had to do some investigating as I still did not get it,,,,not good with short forms!

Shellie is this months "member of the month"!

Congratulations Shellie!!

Oh...lol...sorry. I guess I didn't realize I kept abbreviating it too. That didn't help you. Sorry! :grin:

 

[sugar142286]

And right you are !! they grow up so quick that you turn around and you miss something But still a few hours away sometimes is good to. makes you miss them. but we all need a wee bit of time away

You're right! It is nice the time I do get away too, but then we do end up just talking about the kids anyway...lol. They're the most important things to us!

 

[sugar142286]

i hope you have/had a good night @ work sugar! wow your baby is trying so hard to crawl. i love watching babies learn new milestones! have a great day sugar!!!

Thanks MerryM! I love watching it too. I just can't believe how fast he is growing. Both of my kids are growing so fast, which I know you've experienced with your kids. It's amazing to watch them grow.

Work went well last night, thanks! One more to go, then I am off for my weekend! Hope you enjoy yours!

 

[sugar142286]

I don't have the flu, but I do have an ear & throat infection. Yuck! So now I'm taking antibiotics. Still feel bad, but I came to work. As long as I'm not really contagious, I might as well feel bad here, huh?

I'm glad for your sake, that you don't have the flu! Ear infections are horrible and so painful! I hope the antibiotic helps you quickly and you can start to feel better soon!
