Christmas Countdown - 2013

If they ever stop serving meatball, they are going to have one ticked off customer here.

I don't know, very popular that one is!
Had a new girl working the other day who thought she never had to look up what to put on a sub, made a foot long meatball sub with 12 meatballs! That customer got a nice bonus as there is usually only 8 on a 12 inch.

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It is going to be another normal winter day here with a high in the mid 30's and a low in the lower 20's. I'm freezing though. It really doesn't make sense. In the summer I set my a/c on 62 and I can sit around in my living room in shorts and be fine. In the winter I have the heat on 70 and I'm sitting here with a blanket freezing. Oh well. Not much on the agenda for today. Just more cleaning and trying to stay warm. I'm also going to move my cable modem and wireless router into my living room from my bedroom so it's easier for comcast to get to next week. So if I disappear all of a sudden, you'll know I screwed something up. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang it. I missed the lear! I was already gone to the store before I saw this.. Well thanks anyways I am sure it was better than the tacos, from taco bell that we ate!:rudolph:

I love Taco Bell, their food rates pretty high to me.

Good early hump day morning! I had to take Kylee out so I decided to just stay up and check in here..I have a few hours before I leave for work. I heard on the radio this morning that this week is the most depressing week of the year according the Dr and scientist no doubt. I guess the logic is that the holidays are over and vacations are months away,and no doubt everyone who made resolutions have already broken them(I have btw) oh well we have an excuse this week to feel blue I guess have a great mid January morning!

I don't know about that, some of the weeks during the summer when it is pushing 100*F it is more depressing. At least when it is cold it still feels like Christmas.

This one is more in my price range.

That reminds me of the car body from A Christmas Story.

Good morning, friends!

Brad, congrats on the snow! Good for you!

Slept in today until about 7:30 and started the coffee....came into the living room, started the fire, sit in my chair for just a second....

and off to sleep I went. Woke up an hour later....with a nice pot of hot coffee waiting on me....

Today, picking up the house and maybe taking the tree down...we are really dragging our feet on this....but oh well.....

We're all excited here at the office; there's a winter storm watch on for tomorrow! C'MON, SNOW!!!

We are getting soft water today. Culligan is here...just like we had at our house in Las Vegas..but it's quickly Gone from simple to complicated! :/

We are renting our townhouse, So I thought this would all be simple. It turns out that it's not. We have city water, but Culligan thought that we were just outside of the city limits so we didn't have to follow their bylaws and what not. Well turns out we are just inside of them, so now we have to deal with the city inspector and apparently we don't have a close enough outlet in our utility room for the Soft water. So, we had to call our property manager and see if we even could install an electrical outlet box. Of course, we would have to cover the cost. She is very cool, and got the property owners to sign off on that really fast, but we have to use their electricians which is just fine with us. Luckily it's going to cost us less than $100. But what a pain in the you know what! So Culligan is still here, city inspector and electricians are coming next. Keep your fingers crossed for us that the rest of this process is painless! Thanks!

This is an example of too much government intrusion. If you had moved to Bellville, you could have installed the soft water unit wherever you wanted, and run it off an extension cord, if you wanted. cheesy

I moved my router and modem and I'm still here!! Yay!!!!

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday. So, usually, I don't listen to Christmas music until about Halloween (helps keep it special...gives me something to look forward to musically). But, for the last few days I've had the Beach Boys version of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" stuck in my head. Thinking I may have to listen to it, even if it is mid-January!
Hope you all have a great day!

I know!! Ridiculous...

We had to use an extension cord until the electrician arrived… At least the inspector took our word for it… Unless he stops back to check up on us, lol.

All ended well, The electrician came by and did what they needed to do, and all is fine....
Until my husband gets the bill!

The funny thing is, I thought of you! I thought to myself if Brad was the mayor here, I wouldn't be in this situation!

Hi MMC!!!

OMG!!! I am way excited my first blog post was put on Real Christmas!!! WOOO HOOO... I was super stoked...

Driving home only two houses left with outside lights on

I cannot believe it is Wednesday already where has this week gone. I still have my Christmas scented candles burning it is nice. I keep my snowflakes in the windows until Spring, it keeps a Christmas Light glowing that is for sure.

I am trying to map our hike this weekend, not sure where I want to go yet!

Wow, what complications for some soft water.

I prefer fluffy water myself. cheesy

I saw two houses night before last all lit up with LOTS of lights. We were only on two streets!

I don't know what it is about seeing Christmas lights, I love seeing them as much now as I did when I was a kid.

Sounds like she got a king size, I know it is wrong when I get extra stuff from places, but I always enjoy it. Shame on me.
