Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Virginia]

Our subconscious can be maddening at times =]

I'm sorry you're not feeling well, Virginia. Hope you are feeling better soon!

((Hugs))

Not to worry. It's nothing that actual food won't fix. So toasted rolls, butter and soothing honey for me this morning.

Hello Christmas buddies! I have missed hanging out here lately. Everyone on the East coast and Midwest are having bad snows this weekend I guess. Be careful everyone! We have had an awesome winter btw here too! I took a ruler this morning out to the backyard and there is about 6 inches of snow there...the drifts are higher of course. RIght bow we are sitting at 23F. I am going skiing this weekend just have not decided which day. Next year I am going to start Jordan out on a pair of skis. He will be 3 then and that is a goode age to begin learning.

I am leaving to go over seas in about 3 weeks so the clock is ticking! I will miss everyone here but I will try to keep in touch as much as possible. I will be home in Sept so I know the time will fly by! I am going to ski as much as possible until I leave though..I have been reading the ski resorts out east are having a good season, even the ones in Western North Carolina are reporting base depth as much as 110 inches of snow...of course most of that is manufactured snow but still...for the south that is good. Beech MTn and Sugar mtn north Carolina have reported 75 inches of snow so far this year that is good for north Carolina as well. Anyhow I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. I hope everyone stays safe in all the blizzards too! talk to yall soon!

Good to hear from you. Stay safe.

Wishing everybody a happy and relaxing weekend! Some of us are lucky enough to have a three-day weekend due to the Presidents Day holiday.

It's snowing again … supposed to get 5 to 9 inches this time, unless the storm track changes. So happy to be back indoors after our errands. It isn't snowing very hard yet, but a little later it's supposed to be going at the rate of 1 to 3 inches per hour. Sounds like a good time for hot cocoa, cookies, popcorn, and movies. There's talk of light snow on Tuesday.

I'm ready for spring. Maybe it's on the way---I actually saw a robin in the snow yesterday! Looked pretty fat and healthy to me. He must know where there's a well-stocked bird feeder.

HmG, praying for safe travels for your daughter and less anxiety for you!

Dawg, have fun skiing!

Made, be careful when shoveling and have fun watching your nieces and NASCAR. cheesy

Sugar, have fun shopping and safe travel home!

Snowflake, I hope you are having a good day! How was "Silver Linings Playbook"?

Merry, have a good three-day weekend!

Christmasstar, enjoy your days off, too, esp. the lunch and shopping with your mom!

Me too MC me too! I always look forward to spring for 2 reasons...Baseball season and it also means that Fall and Winter are on the way again. It's always good to see the natural progression of the seasons!

Also enjoy your weekend. It looks like the northeast is going to have a very snowy weekend, like you say it's good for movies and hot cocoa!

Thank you, Dawg! It's snowing here now, and I'm kicking back with an episode of Downtown Abbey (2nd season---no spoilers, please!) and a cup of tea while Mr. is busy with other pursuits. The next episode is a Christmas one, so I think I'll watch that one too while it's snowing, while I crochet a few rows on a thick afghan.

I think the Red Sox are in spring training by now. (Living where we do, you'd think I'd know for sure!) We'll have to keep an eye on NESN for when they start broadcasting pre-season games. Yep, we look forward to baseball season, too! Mr. always knows the latest news about the Sox. You never know what the new season will bring. Last year at this time we never dreamed they'd win the World Series!

Hey there snowflake!! I have decided to go tomorrow, I know the crowds will be large due to the holiday weekend, I am not sure about out here but Presidents Day weekend in the South ski resorts was huge and also it meant the late season was underway! I think out here the resorts stay open until April which is not much longer than the south or midlatlantic resorts. In any case the late season is upon us! Yall have a good weekend too!

Good evening, everyone. Just sitting down here to read some posts. We ended up getting some snow back home here today 4-5 inches or so and it was snowing on the way home, so we just headed home, so we get home to do some things. There wasn't a lot of shopping places anyway.

I'm not sure how late I'll late make it tonight. I've been feeling pretty crappy the past couple of days, but feel slightly better today, but am just so tired today now. DH now feels like he is getting sick. It's just a never ending circle!

Hope you all enjoy your evening!

 

[gabulldawg]

Well it's Saturday evening! That means movie night! As the winter drags on I think it's about time to pack up the Holiday movies....I am different than a lot of you in that I never watch Christmas movies from april to October. That is just me, don't know why though Maybe in July when Hallmark runs their Christmas in July weekend I will watch that so I need to sneak in as many Christmas movies as I can until I leave in 3 weeks. Tonight we are going to watch Christmas Vacation. It has been a while since I have seen it. I love that movie!! So we are going to get the decaff coffee brewin and last week we stocked up on the pumpkin pie dairy creamer as they were having a clearance on all Christmas and holiday coffee creamers! I think we even have a candy bar flavored one!!!
Anyways have a wonderful evening everyone! I will try to get back on here in the morning before I hit the slopes!

gosh, that sounds bad! I hope you both get to feeling better soon!!!

 

[sugar142286]

How are you? Don't worry about keeping up, just look after yourself . You seem really swamped these days. Hope work wasn't to hectic last night. xxx

Hey Festive - thanks of thinking of me. I saw you were having horrible storms. I hope you're doing okay. Work the last two nights before my weekend weren't too bad, but the last two weeks or so has been down right horrid and I've been working extra hours, which you know. It's really been running me down and I haven't been sleeping well. I felt like I was starting to come down with something, but now I am just super tired today. Hopefully tonight I will get to sleep well and feel better tomorrow.

Snowflake, I hope you are having a good day! How was "Silver Linings Playbook"?

Merry, have a good three-day weekend!

Christmasstar, enjoy your days off, too, esp. the lunch and shopping with your mom!

Thanks, friend! It was very busy at work, so I'm glad to be home.
Adi is cooking dinner now, bless his heart.

Hope you've had a wonderful day!

Silver Linings Playbook was really good! Very quirky, and a bit bizarre at times, but funny & endearing in a sweet way too :-D And bonus, a Christmas scene!!

I love Christmas Vacation! Hip, Hip, Hooray for Christmas Vacation!! :smile:

Nice find on the coffee creamers, my favorite is the peppermint white chocolate mocha!!

Good morning!
Our school district decided to stick with the two hour delay instead of closing. I think I'm going to have to get my daughter up to go, I've let her stay home a lot so far this year. And graduation cap and gown measurements are scheduled for today, I don't want her to miss that. I tried to sleep a little bit later but I have a hard time, I'm so use to that alarm going off at 5:00 a.m. Plus Bentley bothered me until I got out of bed. He is use to getting a can of food when I wake up. I'll probably never be able to sleep in again because of him, lol. Anyway, the local colleges are all closed so at least I don't have to worry about my two older ones going anywhere. I will definitely be driving my youngest back and forth to school. Other than that, we will just be hanging out at home. I have to get my daughter to pack after school. She leaves for Florida on Saturday and hasn't done it yet.
I hope everyone stays safe, keeps warm and has a great day!!!

Hoping your daughter had a safe trip down and has a great time!

 

[sugar142286]

Thanks!!! She is still trying to get over the bronchitis she has been dealing with for weeks now. My sister took her into the doctor the other day and they gave her another round of antibiotic's.

Hope she's starting to feel better!

 

[sugar142286]

Thanks Sugar! Looking forward to bringing her home!!! The Tavern ended up being ok - a heating unit had overheated & blew black smoke through the whole place. So there actually never was a fire! They had everyone all worked up with all the mutual aid called in - but better to be safe than sorry!!! It's supposed to open back up today! Have a great day Sugar!

That's great to hear!
