Christmas Countdown - 2012

[caninemom3]

November 20 will be 18 years for me and Nancy. You sound like me: Nancy is 5 years younger than me. When I met her, there was to much difference between 15 years old and 20 years old, but....BU-BAM! She didn't agree to go out with me for another 6 years.

It was worth the wait!

It was 18 years for my husband and I this year in April......Your story sounds so romantic !!! xo

 

[caninemom3]

I'm going to call it a night. I have to get up early tomorrow so I can got to the farmers market and then I have to put brakes on a friends car. Goodnight Everyone!!!!!!

This little polar bear wanted me to tell you to sleep tight xoxoxo

Good Morning, MMC!

*Happy Friday...TGIF!*

Yesterday was Adrian's & my 4th wedding anniversary =]
Although we celebrated a bit last night, we are going to have dinner again this weekend to toast the occasion! Thank you to those of you that wished us well on FB!
My husband truly knows me very well. He bought me an It's A Wonderful Life matted photo, and had it signed by Karolyn Grimes. She addressed it to me, and quoted her line of "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings". Then he framed it. I thought that was such a sweet gesture, since it's one of my favorite movies. God love him.

How are you guys today? Any weekend plans?

Besides going out for dinner tomorrow evening, we'll probably grill out & watch some movies. It's still very hot here. I can't wait for Fall! Have I told you that?! It'll be so nice to open the house up again. Harlowe loves it, too. That way she can listen to all of the neighborhood dogs, watch people walking by, etc. Basically be involved in all the action!

Good afternoon everyone!

The weekend is nearly upon us. Only a few more hours of work and then we can all celebrate the second last weekend of August... Sounds crazy, does't it?! We had a bit of rain here this morning. Otherwise, it should be a comfortable day. The forecast seems to be making way for a warmer temperatures, too. I'm not complaining. There is still a month left of summer!

Kim and I don't really have any plans for the weekend. Although I have to volunteer tomorrow morning at league playoffs. That should only be a few hours, however. A few of my friends also want to golf tomorrow afternoon. I really want to, but I don't know if I can afford it. We'll see how much it will be.... It's always nice to get on the course!

In other news, my dad and brother were in Green Bay last night to watch the Packers put on yet another embarrassing display of preseason football. The starters look decent, but the second-string players look absolutely terrible. Hopefully they turn it around before the season begins. Only two more preseason games and then they all start to really count!

Oh, I purchased Bruce Springsteen tickets today! Kim and I would have went anyway, but my mom is a massive Springsteen fan and wants to see him as much as possible, so she is flying from the Sault in October to attend the concert with us. It's going to be a fantastic show! It took me a few minutes to get in, but I was able to purchase three general admission tickets. We're going to try and get as close as possible to the Boss!!

Well, time to get back to "work." Seeing as it is my last shift, I am taking it a little easy, but things are getting done... I hope you've all been enjoying your Friday!

It is only preseason, I think they will turn it around.

I am exhausted!!! BUT, I worked hard to get all my copies made for school for ALL of next week. Now I can totally relax and not have to go in to do any work during the weekend! Yay for me!

My polar bear child wants you to have a special (((HUGS))) xo

Good evening, Christmas family

Sitting here with my Wishbone peacefully sleeping up against my side, Hermione is on the back of the love seat with her head on my shoulder and Clancy is on the couch snuggled in. As per usual, the felines, Smokey and Lily are looking for more mischief !!

The job is going well !! In fact they gave me two more accounts today. I gave them a pretty hard time last week for limiting how many reports I type. They were really nice about it so today I wrote the owner and apologized. She understood and then told me what a great job I am doing !! I NEVER got told I was doing a good job at the place I just left - Only what I did WRONG.

It remains to be seen how much work there actually is around Christmas as transcription tends to die off then because of offices closing and such but I am staying where I am. I have NO SCHEDULED TIME that I have to be on.......Just whenever I want...As long as I make the lines I promised it is fine.

X-Mas: Thinking about you tonight. If they cant see how valuable you are at your placed of employment then they are idiots wrapped in morons !! IMHO..

Solice I am glad you are feeling better !!

Holiday - I hope your party for your husband goes well ! xo

Brent - Praying for you to find a job.

CAH - Still praying for you to feel better xo

Christmasstar - ((((HUGS))))) to you just because xo

Take care dear Christmas family and big (((HUGS)))) to all ESPECIALLY:

Ella, Harlowe, Snowball, Gomez, Ophelia, Sidney, Alex, Merlin, Snickers, Victor, Daisy, Diva, Palmer, Mouse, Bo, Chico, Meca, Alvin, Charlie, Gary, Bailey, Jerrold, Irving, Martha, Uncle Julio, Missy, Scooby, Sasha, Jacob, Cracker, Bunny B, Penny, Pocket, LuLu, Bear-Bear, Stripey, Holly and all furkids everywhere xoxoo

I hope that you all had a great evening and that you sleep well and have sweet dreams!

Hopefully the image of snow and the house put you in a good mood tonight/in the morning. I would sure love to hang out in that cozy house and sit by the fire! I can't wait to decorate in a couple of months :] Good night!

Good Morning, Appreciators of the Christmas Spirit.

And what better way to get into that spirit than to feast your eyes on this:
Days to the Season: 87
Days to Christmas Day: 129
One lone, single week from today -- the 2/3 mark to Christmas Day will be here.
Gee. Just Gee.

After a couple of dry days, we had some light rain yesterday evening.
Pleasant to listen to and to drift off to sleep with.
I show 69 degrees here this morning.

OK, Friends.
The Weekend is here.
Enjoy, Enjoy.....
and have a Sensational Saturday, too!

 

[caninemom3]

Have Christmassy Weekend, Christmas Family !!! xo

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a beautiful day here with a high in the mid 70's. I got a early wake up call at 5am telling me that my brother in law had thrown out his back and wanting to know if I would come out and babysit while my sister took him to the hospital. So that's where I'm at. Hopefully they get home soon so I can run to the farmers market because I really don't want to drag both of my niece's with me. Now I'm off to find some caffeine since my sister doesn't have any coffee. I hope everyone is having a great day!!!!!!!
