Waiting for late work ... again. It seems like it happens when there are things I need to do at home! Doggone it! (imagine stronger language than that) :sad:

Good evening,

Why was it 80+*F on October 1? I spent most of my day outside doing my yardwork and now I have got an absolutely splitting headache from being in the warm sun. One of our 2 large maple trees in the front yard is almost barren of all leaves so I was able to clean those up so only one more tree to clean up as they fall off that one. I think the maple that all the leaves have fallen off of is slowly dying so it changes color and drops its leaves earlier than all the others.
I did run out earlier to Goodwill, found nada! Then I made a trip to Lowe's and they have almost all of their Christmas out.
Made, you would have loved it, they have an 18 inch Jim Shore Santa statue for about $49.

I would have taken pictures but I was being a wuss and chickened out on taking pictures for the Blossoms. Darn anxiety issues!

I hope you all had a great day so far, I will be popping in throughout the evening.

Wow! The special post series is nearly complete!

To recap:

Day 5 before the Season (Nov. 08) = Made
Day 4 before the Season (Nov. 09) = Binger
Day 3 before the Season (Nov. 10) = Christmasstar
Day 2 before the Season (Nov. 11) = Ballcoach
Day 1 before the Season (Nov. 12) = - open -
CHRISTMAS SEASON 2013 BEGINS Nov. 13. (I usually post some parting thoughts.)

NOW. Question.
With so much interest and with so much expansion of the thread in recent years, should we add a Day 6 (Nov 7) or a Day 7 (Nov 6)??

This is my 4th season being here, I think I am ready to step up to the big leagues and take Day 1.

Good evening friends! Just getting home and settled for the night. It's suppose to start raining tonight and turn cold...I still have the little ones tonight as Brandi and her sister and hubby are going out. I am tired and would like to stay and keep the boys rather that leave them with a sitter, so after dinner me and them are going to watch Home alone 1 Jordan loves hearing Kevin talk and he looks at him the whole movie it's really funny watching him.. Okay so another busy WARM day has come to an end. I hope it cools down for all of us this season because it just don't feel right unless it's cold! Goodnight talk to you all on hump day!

Hope you & the boys have a great time watching Home Alone!! It's so cute that Jordan is fascinated with Kevin!!

And I hope Brandi, her sister, and BIL have a wonderful time too =]

We are supposed to get a major cool down this weekend when some storms blow in, they are saying rain all weekend. Fingers are crossed!

Enjoy your evening, friend!!
