Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Meceka]

So, here I am at work, immigration officials swarming all over the place trying to apprehend a groom whose visa is decidedly suspect!! Trying to eat my birthday cake at the same time but leaving little chocolate crumbs all over my desk - very professional!!!

The city has started putting up its Christmas decorations. I've taken a picture but instead of it saying "Merry Christmas from Dundee City" it looks all pixillated and warped. You may still get it anyway and you can decide!!

I'd planned on treating myself to a pumpkin spice latte but as my feet haven't crossed the threshold since I got in the morning, that will have to wait till another time!

Not planning on anything special tonight but I think we're going out for dinner at the weekend (any excuse, eh?!) Bruce made my birthday cake - he's on vacation here for a week before going back to his Grade 2/3 class next week. Came home last night and he presented me with a devil's food cake!!!! He and Betty Crocker did well!!!!!!!!!!!! So, breakfast was chocolate cake as I didn't want to start it until today!!!

Is it just me or is it every way you turn at the moment, Christmas is creeping ever closer??!!! About time too!!!!

Happy Birthday, Maureen - I hope your day is wonderful and MERRY

Hey all!!

Can you believe only 2 months until Christmas Eve...:dance: I have my 7 y/o home with me today...she woke up with a slight fever and a bit of a cold so she is actually watching a Barbie Christmas right now.. I do have my Christmas music going while I am working.

Had to turn my heat on this morning only 62 this morning in the house. Here in CT it is only 43 degrees and we supposed to get a frost tonight.

Hope everyone has a great day!!

I hope your 7 y/o is better soon!

made, we are both in the same weather system.
We have had power go out once already and am preparing for it to go out again, with all this wet heavy snow and so many leaves on the trees it is not a good mix.
I does however look very nice! Love your pictures

Praying for those who have sick kiddos & fur kids Hope they feel better soon!!

Good afternoon, MMC!

There was a good frost last night - my gardens are officially done now and the majority of the leaves on the walnut trees dropped this morning. Snowing walnut leaves is an apt description! We have had rain, sleet, freezing rain, and more rain so far today. Now the sun is out again, but it isn't doing much to take the chill out of the air.

I am working on projects this evening - fun stuff, but a lot of busy work involved. I'm already yawning so that doesn't bode well for later on when I really get into things. I think I will listen to the Beach Boys Christmas CD - that ought to get me moving!

Be MERRY!!

[Meceka]

HmG, how is Maggie doing? I hope she is better!

The bad days make us appreciate the good ones a lot more . Glad you had a lovely evening and feel better in spirit!

You are right! I'm much better today, thank you.

Here is a better picture of my frosted pumpkins

They look adorable! <3

Hope today is better and I'm still praying!

Thank you. I guess there are always ups and downs so I just have to deal with it. I've been doing much better today. :]

Good evening! I feel like it's Friday today for some reason but I have reminded myself several times today that it's Thursday actually. ^^ It was quite chilly this morning too! It were about 9ºC/48ºF only, and I was very lucky I had a pair of gloves in my jacket's pockets. :] I now have my fan heater on in my room because the central heating is off and I have been studying for a while, and I find it almost impossible to concentrate on any kind of work when I'm cold. I haven't met my former landlady on Wednesday but I hope to meet her tomorrow. It will be a great excuse to go to 'Starbucks' and try different than PSL holiday beverage. ^^

I hope you all guys are doing great and enjoying your evening. Best wishes!

And it continues to come down

Beautiful Star!!!!!! I wish it would have stuck here!!! The little bit that did melted when the lawn company came through and mowed the grass. Which I have to say, I think this is the first time I ever seen people mowing grass in the snow!!

LOL, ours is still coming down, but I think yours is a lot fluffier!
