Christmas Countdown - 2012

[xmas365]

Good night everyone, see you in August!

 

[caninemom3]

Good afternoon, everyone and how are you? I am well. Today is my off! All is well here! DH and I are taking the kids to the drive-in tonight. Ice Age 4 is the first move playing, which looks very cute, so I am excited about that. I think EA will really like it.

Not much going on here in my neck of the woods. Can't believe tomorrow is the first day of August. Summer is really flying by. Fall will truly be here before we know it and I can't wait!

What is new with everyone else? I hope to read a good bit of the posts tomorrow. DH will be working, so that means the kids will be scheduled for daycare. I won't have much going on tomorrow, so I think I will have a good bit of time on my hands...lol.

Well, off to do some reading now. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. God Bless. Thinking of all of you and your families and furbabies! Keep those smiles on your faces! :grin:

Nice to see you again !!!! xoxo

[caninemom3]

Good afternoon,

Back from the beach, the kids loved it and we brought home some snails to "raise" in a fish tank. I started my laundry and then the clouds rolled in, I have to hang them out to dry because our dryer crapped out on us this weekend. It is always something. cheesy

Enjoy the rest of the afternoon!

Awwww.....I am glad your boys had such a good time !! It IS always something !! Geesh.....xo

If you need a smile I found this video on YouTube, Bob Ross and autotuning it's pretty creative.

enjoy it and the happy little trees!

Oh My goodness !! I love this man........He and his happy trees, happy clouds, happy everything........Takes me back quite a bit !! xo

 

[caninemom3]

Don't worry about it until you have to ... and maybe you'll never have to. Just concentrate on doing your best, and the rest may take care of itself. You know you've got the entire Countdown behind you!



Does fall affect anyone else this way?---I get a yen for gingerbread, cinnamon, and other sugar-and-spice things. I only seem to care for them in the fall and winter months.

Thanks Merry !! I Love all those goodies too especially in the Fall !!! It is just such a special time !!

 

[caninemom3]

Ohhh yes, when it gets closer to Fall, I feel like I'm coming up out of my shell. It is by far, my most favorite time of the year (besides Christmas of course) with the cool crisp mornings, chilly nights where you can have a bon-fire without the bugs eating you up alive, good snuggling weather with you favorite other half, pumpkins, fall colors, breaking out the flannel jacket and watching It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown... Yea baby, bring it on......

I couldn't have phrased this better !!!!! I agree totally !!!! xo

 

[caninemom3]

We got a little RAIN!!!! Not much! Probably not even enough to get me out of mowing grass! BUT it has been a long time since it has rained when I was at home. Not that we have had much rain at all this year - but when it does rain it seems I am always at work. I'm getting ready to make a peach pie. I was hoping to be inside baking when the rain was coming down, but the sun is already coming out again. Darn!!!!

MerryCarey - our neighbor at the lake has brought molasses cookies up the last 2 weekends. Oh what a taste of fall & the holidays. LOVE IT! And all the things you mentioned! Cinnamon...gingerbread...bring on the candles!!!

CM3 - you will do great at your new job!! Just think positive! No looking back!

Its hard to believe in 31 days we'll be in the ber's. It's hard to beleive tomorrow is August!!

Sugar - have fun at the drive in tonight. It has been a long time since I have been to a drive in. So-Much-Fun!

Thanks Holiday !! I have to leave this company - It is the only way and I know that. Just a little scary xo

 

[caninemom3]

Good afternoon, friends!!

Hope your Tuesday is going well!

Work is going slow..but it's raining out!!! Very excited abouth that!
We have humidity, but I don't care, the rain is really cooling things down And the dark clouds are so pretty!

I was at the dollar tree store yesterday, and they have their fall ou! I got so excited @ that. I bought some pretty little ceramic pumpkins & gourds for the kitchen table, and a cute little black cat & pumpkin snowglobe for my desk.

I'm in the mood for a spooky movie & some mulled cider!
umpkin:


Have a great evening!!!!!

I know !! Me too about the spooky movie !! Only I like the "classics"... Dracula with Bela Lugosi, Frankenstein with Karloff, etc... Some of the newer movies in my opinion are just too bloody !! xo

 

[caninemom3]

I'm watching one storm go east of me and one go west of me. We're not getting anything.

I hope you guys get to cool off soon !! It is really quite pleasant here this evening............xo

 

[caninemom3]

Good evening, MMC!

Palmer is racing around the kitchen, untying shoes and batting her jingle ball around. She is having a jolly time. I'm trying to get the coupons from Sunday's paper cut out and sorted.

Have a MERRY evening ~ see you at the Pines tomorrow!

Awwww...Palmer is such a sweetie !!! So are Mouse and Bo though too !!

Well at least Indiana isn't going to be the only place that is going to be hot in August.

 

[caninemom3]

what a crazy day at work! I came in, the order had arrived and not put away properly. The inspector had been in. Nothing was in the pull fridge (this is a small fridge behind the counter were you can quickly grab another bin of what ever you need to make subs) There was a mountain of dirty dishes to do.
On top of it, when I came in everyone left (did I need a shower or something????!!!!)
Then the customers started coming, a steady stream and by myself it was a challenge.
Finally the young man who works there came in and hour early and I talked him into staying to help. I let him look after the customers while I filled the pull fridge as quickly as possible. Well the darling emailed the boss and told her what was going on. She showed up about 1/2 hour later with 2 of our best workers and they quickly stepped up to help get everything caught up.
By the time I left it was getting better until we ran out of baked bread! Oye!!
I had already put a bunch out of the freezer to thaw and turned on the over and proofer (where the bread goes to rise) so by the time I did leave we had 20 baked, and 30 in the proofer and another 60 in the defroster.
For some reason I am tired now!
I want a raise!!!

((((Star))) !! Oh My !!! I don't know if I could deal with all of that !! You seem like you handled it like a pro ! xo
