Caffeine!!! I know I'll need lots, too. Loud storms all night.

Thinking of you, friend.

Eat some of that Halloween candy, that should help!!

Take good care!

Good Morning All- Happy Friday Eve!

I was at Rite Aide last night and I saw a whole display of Christmas cards, lights and a few decorations! Def made my night!

I am just working today and I think I am going to put on some Christmas music to make my day a bit brighter!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

I have always taken Halloween week off! It's like tradition since like 1999!! I always eat candy, watch wall to wall horror movies, go to the local Haunted house! And on Halloween night I just hand out the candy while blaring the soundtrack to Halloween 1 or 2 out on my porch while the kids come up!!! after that is done I still watch my horror movies until about Nov 13. Halloween at my house is not done until the Christmas décor comes out!!!:


ETA: I just wanted to add that to me Halloween is more of a celebration of Autumn the opening of the Holiday season!! I never was allowed to celebrate it as a kid we never got to do the trick of treating thing so I think I am making up for it as an adult and I am making sure my kids celebrate it and go trick or treating!!

Sounds like an awesome tradition...but I wouldn't sleep for 3 months if I watched all them horror movies! :lol:

I just realized that in the last catalog I received there is a scratch and sniff thingy for the Turkey & Stuffing candle. It's not my favorite but it's not bad. The new Cranberry Sauce and Sweet Potatoes Pie both smell yummy!

Hi all! I tried to stay away until Nov 1, but, as usual, could not.

Looking forward to spending the next few months here

And why would you want to stay away until Nov 1st???? :yahoo: Welcome back!!!!


Nice to see you CAH!!!! Sounds like you have been out having some fun! NICE!

I stopped by Kirklands last night, and I walked in the store just a little after 8pm and they were just breaking out the boxes and stocking the shelves with Christmas items while another store employee was putting up several Christmas trees~

That was a nice surprise to walk into! Sort of picked up my spirits just a bit!

I have to tell you about all my appointments this week. I have two more appointments on Friday. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I go through a brain scan. I will tell you about our weather, also. Right now, the wind is blowing vigorously, AGAIN.

You will be in my thoughts and my prayers and my heart.

This teddy is just tooo cute. Could I have one, please?

I wish I could, but all I have is the picture! I'd like to have one myself!

I am at work looking at my Yankee Candle thanksgiving 2013 catalog and they have a lot of scratch and sniff candles. Some are good and some I am not a fan of. The pumpkin buttercream is kind of too sweet smelling for my taste but the Cozy sweater smells awesome and they even have a candle cover that looks like a sweater!! The Turkey and stuffing I have smelt time and time again but all I am getting is a whiff of pepper so I am not a fan but I admit I was not open minded at all about it. You pretty much know ahead of time what you think would smell good or not. I don't care for sweet smelling candles unless they are floral. I do like the regular spiced pumpkin candle but that is about the only one I like for anywhere in the house other than the kitchen. Now that I am done with smelling candles at work, mmmh what to do... what to do***shuffle papers, shuffle papers look busy!! I know I will look at webcams leaves turning! Really the beginning of the month is kind of not a busy time here I swear if I would have got(en) more than 3 hours sleep I would be functioning better! I hope everyone is having a good Thursday morning!

 

[MerryCarey]

I am excited and a bit nervous about the new job. I hope the smell of the candles do not give me a headache! I think it smells wonderful in that store but with my headaches/migraines I hope it isn't overwhelming for me! I will pop back in later tonight!

I hope things work out well for you, including no headaches! If you get a headache today, don't count yourself out of the job yet---it could be nerves. Give yourself a few days to settle in. Be sure to let us know how it goes! A lot of the candle fans here would like to be in your shoes!

Someone here will know how to explain the process of picture posting better than I can. Look forward to seeing them.

Cetacea, I think Made wrote up a tutorial, but I don't have a link or know where it's located ... Made? Or you could send him a PM and ask him for the link.

Good morning MMC! I hope everyone's day is off to a good start!

Since I am off work tomorrow, today is my Friday. YAY! Looking fwd to going out to the lake a night earlier than normal! Our lake season is winding down - need to enjoy every minute!! :smile:

Last night I made Meceka's Chipotle tomato sauce recipe! Looking fwd to trying it in different recipes!!! Mmmmm!!



I also picked more tomatoes from the garden last night, but there weren't enough to do much with. This might be my last big batch of canning for the year. That's bittersweet!!!

Not much else going on around here. It's an overcast Ohio day! I'm off to read the posts from last night!

Wishing you all a great Friday Eve!!!!

Hey, y'all!

We should have moved the Pines evening to Bellville. Luke Bryan is playing an outdoor concert 3 miles away right now. It's actually in a pasture next to my office, and it's so loud, it's rattling the windows here at the house!

I don't know Luke, but he's friends with several people around here. He went to the nearby college, so he does farm-aid-type concerts here every year.

He asked me to play in his band tonight, but, you know, I had too much going on.


Yeah, right!

I hope y'all have a great evening!

How cool is that!!!! :grin:

You mean something like this?

This cracked me up!!!

Hey friends! Hope you're having fun at the Pines! Busy day was had here. We're headed outlet shopping tomorrow and gotta get up early, so headed to bed shortly. Talk to you guys sometime tomorrow!

Have fun today!!!

I have to tell you about all my appointments this week. I have two more appointments on Friday. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I go through a brain scan. I will tell you about our weather, also. Right now, the wind is blowing vigorously, AGAIN.

Lots of extra prayers going up for you!!! Hoping & praying for nothing but good things for you!!

Good morning!
I have a feeling it is going to be a hectic day. I am going to walk the dogs as soon as everyone is off to school and work. Then I'm going to prep dinner because I'm going to be out of the house all afternoon. I also have a haircut appointment this morning which I probably should have cancelled but I am overdue and really need to go. Then I'm sure I will be trying to catch up with all of my other chores later this evening. I am excited and a bit nervous about the new job. I hope the smell of the candles do not give me a headache! I think it smells wonderful in that store but with my headaches/migraines I hope it isn't overwhelming for me! I will pop back in later tonight!
I hope everyone is well and has a great day!!!

Good luck today! Hope you love it!!!

Praying all goes well today and that the smell doesn't bother you.

(Was Carl really handing out those business cards to everyone as they left??)

He gave me enough to put in every single door of my apartment complex.

Thanks! Yes, they keep changing their mind about the rain here too! 1st it was Thurs, Fri, Sat - then Thurs, Sat - then Fri, Sunday.... I guess we'll find out!!! It can rain overnight! :grin:

I think the sauce looks yummy too! Can't wait to try it!!! :smile:

 

[made582]

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a warm day here with a high in the low 80's. Just 2 more days of the warm temps hopefully before fall is back!! There is also a chance of rain for the next 4 days. It looks like the strong stuff may hold off until Saturday night now which would be nice. I could still get to the fall festival Saturday morning then. Not much going on here today. My foot has been bugging me for the last couple of weeks so I'm just trying to stay off of it and give it time to heal. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone. I know it's a big day for HMG and I'm praying for her! Hope everyone else has a great day too!
