Christmas Countdown - 2014

[Crown 84]

Good Morning, Friends of the Season and Everything Holiday.

Behold the latest count numbers......and the close proximity of Milestone 3:

Days to the Season: 261
Days to Christmas Day: 303

Now UNDER HALF A WEEK AWAY from the 300-day Christmas Day marker.
(Astounding.)
Then, a double-200's count.
(Even more astounding!)

A bit cooler yesterday but still not bad for February.
But colder weather is just ahead with mid-20's still predicted for mid-week lows.
We are at a frosty 32 degrees here, currently.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Everyone.
And prepare yourself for 'Pines Day and Carl's antics tomorrow!

Wow, I have been so busy lately I barely get time to say hello and good night here, never mind keeping up with the news.
Again today leaving soon to take mom to an out of town appointment and dropping off rest of family who want to do some shopping.

Hope you all have a great day.

Wifey and I just counted....I have been home a total of 7 nights during M-F for the past 5 weeks. Between ballgames, meetings, etc....I've been swamped. Things are going to slow down this week, I don't have to worry about ballgames until Thursday...so I'm looking forward to that.

Kids at school were all as excited as I was....they know who my favorite driver is and had the best time making fun of me because this is only his 2nd win in forever...makes me happy when they give me a hard time in a joking manner...means they care.

Going to read the rest of the boards...hope everyone has a great day tomorrow!

Enjoy your evenings this week!
That is really cool about the relationship you have with your kids at school, friend. :-D
Have a wonderful day!!

Good evening,

Been a busy day & night here finally getting on here and catching up.
I have inventory tomorrow, so I will be going in later in the morning.

Just listening to some tunes before bed, I've been on such a Moody Blues kick lately.

I hope you all had a good Monday.


Good night, everyone.

Good luck with inventory today!!

No, he hasn't got much of a sense of humor.

:-? Boo!

Merry Tuesday!

I can't believe we are only a few days away from March! That is pretty awesome! Jan/Feb are my least favourite months so I will be happy to welcome March as well as Spring!

Not much time to catch up with posts but I pray that you are all doing well. Have a pleasant day!

I love March, too. Spring is just around the corner, and I love the change of seasons.

Have a fabulous day, Sam!!

Good Morning, MMC family!!


Happy Rudolph Day!!
:rudolph:


I have the day off today, and then have a long stretch of work. So, I'm going to really enjoy today.

It is very cold week forecasted here, again. Below zero overnights, and highs around zero. Crazy. We have 20 inches on the ground, and have well over 60 inches total so far this year. Our normal average for the entire year is 47 inches, they just said this all on the news. Why do I watch the news?! Haha...


Wishing you all a lovely & blessed day~

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be another cold day here but not as cold as Snowflake. At least not yet. We should top out around 23 today. Then fall below zero tonight. Not much going on here. I just need to clean, clean, clean. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

Glad things are settling down for you, friend!!!!

LOL!!!! Tell him the problem is that he is to nice of a guy and doesn't want to hog all of the wins and championships like that guy that drives the 48 car!!!! He wanted to give everyone else a shot too.

I was going to be happy for March to arrive too, until I saw that it was going to come in with either a lot of snow or an ice storm.

Gracie is adorable, thanks for sharing the pictures!

Thanks! She's a dandy! She continually cracks me up!

Hello Gracie. Lovely to meet you. Thanks for sharing Holiday.

Gracie says : "Hello Virginia!"

Well I got my sink installed but the nut that holds the drain pipe on to the bottom of the sink, broke. So I'm back to not having a sink until I get a new one of those. Bummer.

Oh no!!! Go figure! Hope you were able to get it fixed!

I discovered what the problem is !

Canada Rocks !

TOO FUNNY!

Good Monday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

It's been real busy around here, and I don't have a lot of free time during the day lately. I still check in, but this is the first time I had a chance to post all day.

I had to leave work to take Lulu to the vet. I think she pulled a muscle in her back. Bless her heart, she wants to jump up on the couch, but when she tries she cries. The vet said he thinks it's just a strain, and gave me some steroids. I hope it helps quickly!

And I hope y'all have a great evening!

Awe - I hope Lulu heals quickly!!! Poor girl!

My supervisor just called and wanted me at work at 7. I told him there would be no way, since I would have to leave in a half an hour and I haven't showered and eaten dinner yet. I told him I would be there at 8. He's hoping to have be out of there when my 8 hours are up. We'll see!

I better run along! Talk to you all tomorrow! Enjoy your evening!

Hope you had a good night at work & got out after 8 hours!

Aw, Gracie is so cute ~ I love her! I'm so glad Buster is doing all right with her ~ I'm sure he will warm up to her once he figures out that she isn't replacing him. With all the attention she is getting from everyone it has to be a bit hard for the poor guy. Please give him a hug from me!

Thanks! She's too cute - how can you say "no" to that face! Ha ha!! We love her too! Buster was more tolerant of her last night so hopefully every night gets better! Poor guy! A big hug from Meceka coming up!!

Holiday - Happy Monday to you! Gracie is absolutely adorable! I love the pictures that you shared. I hope that you are able to get her into more of a schedule this week - I'm sure after a few more days she'll adjust a little easier! I was glad to read that Buster is tolerant of her - hopefully he'll warm up in time!!

Thank you! It's going to be an interesting couple weeks! She's lucky she's cute!!! Lol!

Good evening, MMC! I hope you're all doing well! I realized that I had 70 pages to catch up on since I've been here last - yikes! I just couldn't read that much in one sitting, so I've gone back to catch up on what I missed today. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers! I have been looking for jobs every single day and applying for the ones I like. What irks me is the way that many companies go about their application process. I spend 30-45 minutes completing detailed applications to only receive a generic auto-response from them telling me that they've received my application and then I never hear from them after that! I guess it's too hard for them to take the time to actually contact someone and let them know a decision!

I think that I am going to have some more free time on my hands so except to see more of me around here!!

Keeping you in my prayers. Sounds frustrating when companies don't respond. I hope you find something great soon!!! But of course we love to see you around here too!

Gracie is so beautiful! And what a perfect name for her. Glad she had a good first weekend <3 Congrats again!!

Thanks!

oh my goodness what a little sweetie!
Congratulations, Gracie is beautiful!

Thanks! She is a lil pumpkin!

Glad Buster is doing ok <3 Please give him a big hug for us!
He sounds like a patient guy, warning her but not acting on it. I bet they'll be fast friends.

xx

Another big hug coming up for Buster! He deserves them! :smile: He has been pretty patient with her. He is also eating her food!!! And she is trying to eat his! She stole a piece of his beggin strip this morning! Little shyster!

 

[Bradmac]

Good Tuesday morning, and Happy Rudolph Day, my Christmas friends!

Boy, the steroids really helped Lulu! She's bouncing around like her old self. The doc said to try to keep her from doing to many strenuous things for a while, but she's bursting with energy today.

I just found out that we have customers visiting the plant today, so I have to put on my "professional" face for a while.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

I think he deserves some extra treats cheesy

Good morning MMC! Happy Tuesday! It appears it's going to be a looooong day at work today! Not much going on! Great....

Gracie had her 1st vet apt yesterday. I love the new vet. She was so thorough & helpful & she couldn't stop lovin on Gracie. :lol: BUT she thinks Gracie might have a heart murmur. She said not to worry about it at all - I should forget she even mentioned it - because she thinks it's a "functional" murmur & she will outgrow it, but she's going to keep an eye on it. I sure hope she outgrows it!! I'm really not worried yet, until she tells me I should be - which hopefully that doesn't happen!

Here she is on her way to the vet:



And here she is last night, after she drug the rag I used to wipe up a water spill over to the table & then proceeded to pass out on it!



I wonder how many pictures I have taken of her already.... Ha ha!

Have a great day gang!!! I'm heading back to yesterday to read more posts!

Glad that you like the new vet!

Keeping her in my thoughts & prayers. From what I understand, that is not uncommon. I would do the same as you, try not to worry about it, especially if the vet isn't <3

What cute pics!!
I still take a ton of Harlowe, she is practically my entire Instagram account, lol.

((Hugs))
