Christmas Countdown - 2013

[Bradmac]

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

After the mind-numbing clothes shopping yesterday afternoon, we went to see The Journey at...no kidding...the largest church I've ever seen. Their main campus is as large as Bellville. As you enter the church, the bookstore is on the left, followed by the gift shop, then the coffee shop...it's amazing! We were taken into the concert arena (not the sanctuary. I never saw that.) and treated to live music and singing with production value that would make some Hollywood-type envious. They had TV cameras at different angle, some on arching booms, professional lighting,...Lordy, Lordy! I can't imaging what it costs just to maintain the building and grounds. I come a super small church. Our average attendance is 30.

Anyways, The Journey was awesome! It was cold and wet, which made it seem all the more realistic. There is a large pond near the church, and they ferried you across the "River Jordan", and you were conducted on a tour of the surprises that Mary and Joseph had in store for them, then by a Roman centurion to Bethlehem to register for the census. It was too long, and too cool to go into all the way, but I was super impressed!

Back to reality today. Jacob want another guitar for Christmas. And, of course, not the affordable one. I gotta have a talk with him this afternoon.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Christmas tree in the office is up and lighted! (I didn't get to assemble it ... I was working on a job.) Decorations to come. It's fun to see the reactions of co-workers seeing it for the first time---surprise and delight!

Thank you! The word has gone out for employees to bring in decorations. So far the only ornament besides the lights is a pig with wings. It'll be fun to see the decorations "blossom" little by little. I'll have to see what leftovers I have from home to contribute.

Ugh, ice fog here tonight. Just went and put salt down on the sidewalk, so hopefully I won't have to deal with it being a sheet of ice in the morning. The cars are all covered though.

I hope you didn't have to deal with a lot of ice this morning! Stay safe!!

Good evening, friends~

Hope you had a fun day!!

Work was busy again today, until the last few hours. I was able to catch up on some things.

I am still not feeling great, so I am going to relax a bit and then turn in.

Sleep well, sweet dreams!!

Goodnight!!

I hope you will feel better soon! I always drink lots of liquid, say warm water with lemon or green tea, whenever I don't feel my best. It usually helps. :]

Good Monday morning everyone! Here we go with another week. I am going to start my exam revision so I am getting ready to go to the campus library to take some books. Oh, I will pop to the gym too. I haven't done any workout since the induction session so it's time to start.

Wishing everyone a nice day!

Good luck with your exam revision, Victoria!! Have a MERRY day!!!

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It's going to be a cold day here with a high in the lower 20's. Then tomorrow the real cold hits and we won't get past the lower teens. Not a whole lot going on for me today. Just my same daily chores and then I want to finish wrapping. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

Stay warm and safe, made!!! It is going to feel like it is -1 tonight here. :cold:

I see a box here at the office with a 7-foot artificial tree inside! I hope it's for putting up here at the office ...

It was a little slick this morning, but the icy mix should be changing to all rain before the day is over. I heard something about snow tomorrow; I'll have to keep an eye on that.

I'm glad you made it to work safe and I hope there is enough snow for enjoyment but not hazardous travel! How nice to have a tree at work!!!

Good morning everyone!

We're nearly into the double digits of December. Hard to believe, isn't it? It was a quiet morning in terms of potential supply work. No real calls. I'm hoping for something tomorrow! At least this day off will allow me to do some laundry and a few things around the apartment.

Yesterday was nearly an all around good day. First, the Packers finally won and shed their embarrassing losing streak. Shortly after, I saw a friend from high school win the "Roar of the Rings" curling championships on national television (TSN). I actually know three of the four curlers on his team, too. Anyway, the win has qualified them to be Team Canada at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. So happy for them!

Unfortunately, we didn't win our hockey game last night, but we were completely outmatched and played horribly. It was still nice to compete and get on the ice.

Of course, yesterday was also quite enjoyable thanks to the World's Largest Christmas Party! I enjoyed chatting with some of you on the christmas chatter website and listening to Jay on MCR! I'm already excited for next year. But, until then, we still have so much more to experience this 2013 Christmas Season!

Well, I should start that laundry. It's not going to do itself. Have a great Monday, everyone!! Continue enjoying your Christmas. Be sure to have a merry day! Merry Christmas!!

Congrats to them! That's excellent!!!

I'm sorry about your game last night, but great that you enjoyed playing. Love, love, love hockey in our house.

Have a great day!

Good afternoon, Christmas Family!

It is very cold and grey out today - a good day to be inside working on paperwork. Yay - that is what I am doing! A bit later I get to do some research and then chores await me this evening. All in all, a good and busy day!

Have a MERRY Monday!!!

Good morning!
We got about an inch of snow last night before it turned over to rain and washed it away. We still have a light rain falling and will have a high of 45 degrees.
I am feeling better today. The migraine is gone and my head feels clear. It was a doozy, I didn't get much done yesterday. I'm hoping to make up for it today. I got some laundry done and started Italian Meatball Soup in the crock pot for dinner. My husband had more sanding to do last night and there is dust every where. I'm not even going to bother wasting my time cleaning it. I have better things to do, lots of Christmassy things to do! He's just going to make a mess again later anyway. I'm heading to the mall, there's more shopping to do. I can't wait until I finish shopping. I'm looking forward to staying in, playing Christmas music and wrapping gifts. I love wrapping gifts! Well I better head out and get some things done.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!!!
