Christmas Countdown - 2014

[VictoriaLT]

Can anyone get Kringle Radio? I wanted to listen to it yesterday to ease my lousy day, but when I tried to listen via TuneIn Radio, I got an error message. It's also not playing today, either on TuneIn OR in a browser.

I suppose there are some technical difficulties with it. I have tried to play the radio for many days now and despite trying three different browsers, it didn't work. Bummer. :/

home again, had a great visit.
She gave me a container of epicure "Soothing wellness tea" I made a cup and am thinking this is really strong stuff, then read the label again, it was one
teaspoon not one tablespoon for a mug full! No wonder it was strong! LOL It has ginger in it which is giving it a kick, but I do like it.

Yum! Ginger tea is nice, I love it too, but yeah, some skills are necessary not to make it too strong. ^^

Late shift tomorrow night, I am not looking forward to that like usual. I really need to stop complaining about my job and find a new one. The comfort level of rate of pay, vacation time, etc... make it easier said than done. I would love to get out of retail/grocery altogether, so I wouldn't have to deal with Black Friday anymore, after the last two years my anxiety can't handle that part of the job.

I am sure you will make the right choice. :] There are so many people around who literally hate their jobs and it makes me think of time being too precious to do things you don't like.

Good Morning, Christmas buddies!!

How are you on this fine Pines Day?

I am enjoying some coffee and watching a little TV before I start my day.

It is a gorgeous morning outside, and almost all of our snow has melted!
It is currently 27 degrees, with a high of 66!! Will be our warmest spring day, yet!

Wishing you all a blessed & beautiful day!!

xx

Enjoy the lovely spring weather!

Good afternoon everyone! Happy Wednesday!

I must say that Scottish weather has been very generous for us lately. There barely was some rain but mostly sunny and partially cloudy. And the thing is that forecast doesn't say anything about rain for one more week. Oh boy, I wish the forecast would stay that way. ^^

Booked my train ticket to Glasgow on Saturday. I normally travel by bus because it's cheaper and I like buses more than trains. However, my training starts early in the morning and the very first bus to Glasgow is already too late for me so I didn't have any other choice but to take a train this time. Oh well. :]

I hope is doing well today. Best wishes, and keep on smiling!

Good morning,

I will be heading out to work in a little bit, I probably should take the day off because I feel so lousy, but that isn't possible today.

I have to get my dinner ready and get myself ready.

I hope you all have a great Wednesday.

I just wanted to pop in and say good evening as I don't get to say good night to you all due to the time difference.

The day turned out dry and partially sunny. Tomorrow looks like it will be the same.
I took the children to the park earlier and we have just been playing basketball out in the back garden. We made the most of the good weather today.

I have started dinner so we will be eating soon when Mr. Festive gets in from work. I have not gotten much of my work done today but it was worth it

I hope you all are having a good day. I will be there early at the pines tonight. I'll be in the hot tub soaking away my aches and pains from our basket ball game LOL!

I think extreme temperatures can aggravate her condition, hot & humid or bitterly cold. We're not having either right now. We will keep trying to figure it out, I'm not going to stop until she gets some relief. Thank you so much for the prayers, I really appreciate it!

Praying they figure something out for her! The little sweetie!

Good evening,

I am just watching the Bruins game now, they are on an hour later since they are out in Minnesota. I am so looking forward to my Nyquil nightcap at this point.

Late shift tomorrow night, I am not looking forward to that like usual. I really need to stop complaining about my job and find a new one. The comfort level of rate of pay, vacation time, etc... make it easier said than done. I would love to get out of retail/grocery altogether, so I wouldn't have to deal with Black Friday anymore, after the last two years my anxiety can't handle that part of the job.

5.5 minutes to go in the game, time to get ready for bed in a few.

I hope you all had a good Tuesday.

Good night, everyone.

Hope you are having a good day at work today! It's hard to go back to work after a day(s) off!!

Merry Morning!!! Happy Pines Day!

Thank you for the birthday wishes for Mum. She had a pretty quiet day.

I have a few things I would like to get done today. It all depends on the children though. Hopefully I will at least get some of it done

Mid week already, I hope it is going well for all of you. Have a bright and cheerful day everybody!

Have a great day Festive!

Good Morning, Practically Perfect Predictably Pleasant People Perpetually Pining Patiently for 'Pines Parties.

And what a fine 'Pines Day it is, with our temp at 50 degrees and the promise of a sunny and mild day ahead, with our high near 70 and little chance of rain.
(Now, if we could just do away with this pollen......)

Onward and downward with our count:
Days to the Season: 218
Days to Christmas Day: 260

We are barely over 2 1/2 weeks away now from the 200-day Season Window, and under 2 1/2 weeks separate us from the 1/3 Christmas Day marker.
(What nice statistics to sustain us to this evening for another wonderful time at the house of Carl!)

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everybody!
See you at the S.P. this evening.

Happy Pines Day!!!

Uh oh! I'm slipping again! I am not keeping up with the Countdown but I have been busy busy. I was only able to read a few post so if I missed any important news, please send me a message!

My granddaughter just got here and she is watching Pup Patrol. The show is about an upcoming Fall Festival. I sure wish that was going on right now! I am enjoying the mild temps here but can't wait for Fall to get here again!!!!

I have a lot to do so I gotta run.

Have a blessed day my Christmas friends!!!

Fall? Nooooo! Shhhhhh! I would like to hit 70º at least for a few days! :lol: Have a great day CAH!

 

[Holiday]

Good morning Star! THAT's how I felt this morning. Beautiful day!!! Have a great one!

Good morning!
It is going to be sunny today with temperatures in the upper 50's. Perfect walking weather!
My laptop is finally working, yay!
I don't have a lot going on today, typical day of errands and chores. I will also be waiting for Maggie's doctor to call me back. I spoke with her last night and she is going to find Maggie a specialist. She is going to a radiology convention today and she is going to talk with other veterinarians and see what they think. She would like Maggie to see someone that specializes in respiratory. I hope there is someone here on Long Island for her to see.
That's about it for me today. I hope everyone is well and has a great day!!!

I hope they can find a specialist close to you & they get something figured out! Have a great day & hope you get some walking in!

 

[Holiday]

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! It's going to be a nice day here with a high of 60 degree's. Darn Australia had another late night news conference last night so I was up until 1am watching CNN. I was also chatting with my sister on facebook. They have had fun at Disneyland but my niece was paying for it last night. Hopefully she is feeling better for the plane ride home today. Not to much on my agenda for today. I already have laundry going and dishes done. So I'm hoping to get in a walk here later this afternoon. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are having the same weather as me! Lovin it! (could be just a tad warmer, but I'm not complaining) Hope you get a walk in today too. Safe travel for your sister & family!!! Have a great day Made!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Elizabeth's dentist appt. went great, then she went to her first dress rehearsal. We finally got home at 11pm. It'll be the same tonight, then the first show is Thursday night. Bless her heart, at least school is out this week.

I still have lots on my desk to sort through. I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

 

[Holiday]

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have just turned on the TV. 20 kids stabbed at a school in PA. What is wrong with kids today? It makes we worry about my niece's. I don't know if I ever mentioned it on here but there was a kid found with a hand gun at the high school here in our little town last fall. They said he was just selling it to another kid and not planning a shooting but it makes you wonder what the other kid was going to do with it.

I agree. Makes me sad, makes me sick & it's very scary! I had to look up where Franklin Regional school was on mapquest to make sure our friends kids don't go there. It's about 18 miles from them. UGH! Praying they will all be ok!

I suppose there are some technical difficulties with it. I have tried to play the radio for many days now and despite trying three different browsers, it didn't work. Bummer. :/

Glad to hear your sis and her kids enjoyed their time. Enjoy your walk later and I hope you catch up on sleep tonight.

That is horrible. I worry so much for my children and when you hear things like this it makes it worse!

Good beautiful Hump Day/Pines Day morning MMC!

I had an awesome night last night. After work I walked Gracie across the street to the park. Her best friend Lexi (neighbors golden doodle pup) was there. They are so funny together. They had a ball!!! After Lexi left, Gracie & I jogged 3x around the baseball diamond fence & we walked home. I jumped on my bicycle for my 1st ride of the year. I only got 3 miles in when it was looking like rain, but it felt GREAT! I ate supper while it rained (since hubby wasn't going to be home) then the sun came back & I walked with my neighbor & her friend. We had to stop at our other neighbors to see the HUGE crappie fish he caught. He had a bunch of them. I ended up with 7.7 miles walking/jogging yesterday! Now for a repeat tonight... (minus the rain) Buster slept great last night & so did I!

Hubby probably won't be home for supper again tonight (UPS is killin um) but I have to grill the marinated pork chops I unthawed so they don't go bad! He can always re-heat them sometime! I won't be home tomorrow night, so that should work well!

Hope you are having a Happy Hump Day! :gift:
