Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Christmasstar]

Saturday hello! I missed the Olympic opening ceremonies, but Mr. was telling me about them this morning. I'm sorry I missed the Queen's entrance and the Mr. Bean bit! Maybe I can catch up with them on YouTube.

Much less scratchiness in the throat, but the fatigue is hanging on. That's okay, I'll just try to rest up this weekend. Even when I'm tired I can crochet. I'm trying to get ahead on the winter hats that I send to the homeless shelter in November. When I have a good stock of those, I'll pick out a Christmas afghan to work on. It's that time of year---gotta pick out the clips for this year's Christmas DVD, check our shopping lists, and start thinking about how to decorate. Maybe a couple of small pre-lit outdoor trees on either side of the front door this year? Some icicle lights inside the front window?

And how is your weekend shaping up?

glad you are feeling better!

The opening ceremonies were so well done, loved it!

Good Morning, friends!!

Hope you are all doing well!

I haven't been around the last few days, been busy at the house & at work. Hubby is gone for a few days on a business trip. I miss him when he's gone.

Thanks again to all of you who were involved w/ the Christmas eCard exchange!! I loved looking at them all, they were so beautiful =] And one was really funny...Made?! And special thanks to Meceka for my real card. So fun to get a Christmas card in the mail...in July!!

I got my Jim Hansel Christmas candles in the mail the other day, and was disappointed to find one had warped in the heat. Guess I'll have to send it back for an exchange..bummer..was so excited to start lighting them!

What is new w/ you guys?

Harlowe & I are feeling kind of claustrophobic. It's too hot to be outside- 109 & sunny again today- and we can't even go too far for a car ride because we are having radiator problems in the truck, a leak, and can't get it in to be fixed until next week. Besides, Adrian has the car. So, we have been trying to make the best of it by playing ball in the house & walking at night when a neighbor is willing to go w/ us. A few friends have come by to visit, which was nice.

Cannot wait for FALL!!

Hope you have a lovely Saturday!!

well the van is now officially mine. Signed all the paper work, got the insurance and it now has plates on it!
My brother informs me that he still has a few things to do on it, but it will be in my parking spot by next Friday!

Good Morning once again, fellow Weekend Compadres.

Aren't these weekly 2-day islands great for recharging the old batteries?

And, Hey! We can all get a charge out of this:
Days to the Season: 108
Days to Christmas Day: 150
Lookie, Lookie! ONE WEEK from tomorrow -- the 100-day Season Window Milestone.
Lord have mercy!

Well, no break from the heat and humidity yesterday until a late storm cooled things off.
Perhaps it will be a bit nicer today. We shall see.
I read 74 degrees currently on the back door thermometer here at our little home in the capital city.

You be sure and have a Sensational Saturday today, my Friends, OK?

Woo-Hoo !! Only 108 days to the Season !!!!!!!

Thank you Crown, for always doing the countdown !!!

Hope everyone had a great day. I ended up spending my day off work preparing for a conference presentation that I am supposed to be in....leaving town for a few days, but I'm getting to stay at a REALLY SUPER NICE hotel...it's a hard job, but somebody has to do it....it's not on our school's bill, so we will stay there if they insist.

Friends across the pond, excellent job on the Opening Ceremonies.

Have a great time at the conference!

Good afternoon,

I am off from work until Monday, I need it I am so exhausted and I did something to my back, it hurts quite a bit right now. I am making chili for dinner it smells great! We have had downpour after downpour today, I drove home during a flash flood in Palmer, Massachusetts, I was worried I wasn't going to get home for a while, but I got here.

Enjoy your evening!
