Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Ryan]

I'm with you. I was a Dallas fan from the Don Meredith days. Tom Landry, Bob Lilly and Roger Staubach were some of my heroes. I can still name the starting offense & defense lineups from Super Bowl 6, (showing my age). We lived in Dallas when Jones bought the team. Thanks to Jones, I no longer even follow the NFL. Still enjoy college football and may come back to the NFL once Jones is out of the picture. For now, MLB is the only pro sport for me.

I hear you! The thing that gets me the most is Jerry doesn't even realize he is the problem! I would hate to be a head coach at Dallas. Not sure why anyone takes that job!

Glad your trip to the beach was good and I'm continuing to pray for your mom!

Hello all. My Tapatalk is still messing up by I can log onto MMC on the laptop. I hope you're all having a great day! It's a short work week for some of us. Enjoy!

Glad it was just a dream. I have had a dream several times through the years where it is Christmas and I didn't realize it...in the dream I get upset when I realize I missed the season and didn't take time to enjoy and savor it.

This must be a universal dream ... I get that a couple times a year.

Good afternoon everyone!

It's a sunny and windy afternoon in the Sault. Temperatures are in the lower 20s/lower 70s. Nearly perfect for the beginning of September. Kim and I had a nice little adventurous hike through Hiawatha Park in the northern most part of the Sault. She's not very good with wilderness, so I enjoyed it much more than she did. I had also planned it to be a nice run, but she insisted it become a hike. Oh well. Still, it was great to re-visit some trails that I haven't run in about a decade. At least Kim enjoyed the waterfalls.

For the rest of the day, I believe that we're heading to my dad's house for dinner. It should be a good time. My brother and his wife live upstairs, so it's nice to at least have everyone in one house.

I should probably get going. We're suppose to be there before 4 and I still have to shower and shave. Oops! Have a great Tuesday, everyone! First 'Pines Day of September is tomorrow! I am sure that Carl will have a great theme to ring in the 'ber months!

Big thanks to everyone that wished me luck on my future employment. I hope to find something shortly. Preferably permanent, too, of course! We'll see how it goes. Have a great night and sleep, everyone!

Praying you find something permanent soon, Brent!

Back from a great vacation visiting my son in Montreal. It's so nice to get away but it felt good be back home sleeping in my own bed last night. Have a great week everyone!

Glad to hear you had a great vacay visiting your son.

Yeah, sleep and me just don't agree any more. I did get about 3 hours before I woke up today though.

I was in and out of the grocery in 25 minutes!! It was great!! There was a lot more people there than I thought would be though.

I hope you get a nap in sometime and that your sleep habits improve!!

Happy September. We were blessed with a very nice holiday weekend at Myrtle Beach. Dad and Mom did ok. They got to see the ocean and go out to eat. The weather was nice. They were exhausted when they got home late yesterday but enjoyed the trip. It was a long drive but worth it. Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts.

Just in time for September, this week's weather forecast is for highs in upper 70's and lows in upper 50's. After storms early this morning, we should be dry the rest of the week. Not perfect weather but getting closer.

Have a blessed day all.

I am so glad all of you had a very nice holiday, mgramsey!

Good afternoon, MMC!

Break is almost over - gee, it went by so fast! Enough time left to get a refill on my coffee.

Be MERRY!!!

Update to my Monopoly mishap , the saga continues. I spoke to them this morning and they said they obviously have codes mixed up which is whi I keep getting the wrong version. They are looking into it further and will contact me to let me know if they can source me the one I want. Fingers crossed! Anyway I know this all so very trivial in the big scheme of things........

Maybe it's trivial, but it's frustrating ... you don't want much, just to get the item you paid for, instead of something else you don't want! I'm keeping my fingers crossed with you.

Good afternoon, everyone! How are you? I am doing well. What are you all up to? Nothing is really going on here. Kids are just getting home for the day, as well as DH.

EA's first official day of Pre-K was today. She said she met some new friends, plus some of her friends from her pre-school class were there as well. It sounds like she has a great day, which I was so glad to hear.

What are everyone's plans for this evening? I have to work 10p to 6:30a tonight, so I will have to lay down earlier tonight, so we won't do much of anything tonight. I'm not sure if DH and the kids will do anything or not.

Well, I am off to try to read the Countdown from today, I don't want to keep getting too behind. I will talk to you guys later. Hope you are all enjoying your day. God Bless and keep smiling!

Thanks!!!! I managed to get a few short naps in but people kept calling and banging on my door, so I never got a real good one in.

The only good thing about not being able to sleep, I can run to the grocery store before it gets busy!!

Good Morning MMC!!! It's going to be a nice day here with a high of 79. My agenda for this week is to give my apartment a good deep cleaning and to put out my fall decor. I'm pretty sure I will get the fall stuff out but the deep cleaning, we will see how much sleep I get. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!

If you keep sleeping like you are now, you will never get your cleaning done!

Thank you, that might be the nicest thing you have ever said about me!!!!

 

[sugar142286]

Haha!! It's good, you'd like it!!

Well I managed to move all of the furniture and run the sweeper in the living and dining rooms today at least. I also dug out all of my fall stuff too.

We were both up very early yesterday and decided to load up the bikes to take to the lake to ride before heading to my job. The sun was just starting to rise and already 80 degrees and humid but we really wanted to ride our bikes. He put them on the bike rack, I went to get our helmets to take to the car, stepped outside and heard a loud hissing sound. My tire went flat! One of our stray kitties was sitting on the car looking frightened, I bet he thought it was a large kitty hissing at him. Poor kitty! We unloaded the bikes and headed to the lake anyway, took a nice walk and fed the ducks while we were there. We got out there before 7 am and it was hot! I did get the flat fixed so we will try to go bike riding next weekend.

Sounds like you guys had a wonderful day!
