Christmas Countdown - 2014

[sugar142286]

Good morning friends. I'm trying g to lose 30 pounds so I've been working out again. It was hurt in a treadmill but I did the 5k this morning in under 40 minutes so I'm excited!

Now if you need me I'm going to be at the first ER I can find. Should you need to get in touch just call around to the local Oklahoma City hospitals until you find me.

Good luck with your weight loss!

Good evening,

Long night at work, started busy then business died, got a lot done though.

I am up later than I want to be, couldn't get on here for a little while.

A t-storm came through about an hour ago and took away the humidity, nice sleeping weather tonight.

7 more working days until vacation!!!!

Good night, everyone.

Hope you got a good nights sleep!!! How fun - the countdown to vacation!!!

Hello from Hawaii. Back soon! All love Yabba!!!!

Hope you're having a great time!

Good Morning, MMC!!

Wishing you a blessed Thursday!!! The weekend is finally in sight!

Isn't that a great sight!! Have a good day snowflake!

Good Morning, Folks.

Closing in.
<< On what, Crown? >>
On our next Milestone, of course.
<< Which one is it, Crown >>
Well, first the numbers:

Days to the Season: 126
Days to Christmas Day: 168

Now, the Milestone.
It's number eleven on our chart.
It's the 2/3 Season marker.
And it's just barely over HALF a week away.
<< Wow, Crown! >>
Wow, indeed.


Need any extra humidity where you are?
We are willing to export.
Got an oversupply here and we'll let it go cheap.

Not overly hot but still muggy. Might get some rain.
Right now, our digital back door thermometer reads 76.8 degrees.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Friends.
And an Exciting Expectation of Weekend Eve tomorrow!

Stay cool Crown!

The weatherman just told me off. He mentioned the triple digits will be here this weekend then said, "deal with it or move"! I know he was talking to me and no one else because I do a lot of whining about this heat.

SO what are you going to do? :lol:

YES!!!!! I leave tomorrow morning bright and early, well at least early.

YAY!! Have a blast!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be a decent day here with a high near 80 degree's again. I can't wait until the middle of next week when they are showing high's in the mid 70's. It's going to be beautiful!!!!! Not much going on here today. Just looking over the grocery ads and then I'm going to work around the apartment while watching Hallmark movies of course. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just had to do that, didn't you??? Mmmmmm! I'm suddenly starving...for Mexican....at 8:43am!!! And then the ice cream...ahhhhh

Yes, me too!

Made, I forgot to mention but as soon as you posted that picture I ran to the kitchen and made breakfast tacos. That was the closest thing to Mexican food that I had! Ha ha! They were yummy!

LOL!!!!!!! Well that was pretty mean of him!!!! You should call and complain!!!!

Well, he had the cutest smile when he said it so I forgave him. Then again, he is right, I tell myself that all the time, "I am just going to have to deal with it or move"! I am not moving unless I can take my entire family with me so I guess I have to deal with it! :lol:

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

SO what are you going to do? :lol:

If my entire family will agree to it we are all moving to Alaska. The owner of my job and co-workers have to agree to move the whole store there too because I would miss them all terribly if I left! =)

So while waiting on their decision I am stuck here in the heat! Ha ha!

It looks like my doggy Maris is having a squirrel kind of day. She has been running back and forth through the yard chasing them, even running up a tree over and over! She chases them everyday but some days she gets more excited over them. She has never caught one, THANK GOD! She just thinks they are her friends and chasing them all over. One day she started the morning out chasing and barking continuously ALL DAY LONG until the sun went down, it was the craziest I had ever seen her. The very next day she was so out of it that she slept all day long. She was exhausted but I am sure the squirrels were happy to get a break!!! =)

Good afternoon everyone

I hope your day started out well. My work day had a difficult start. When I got into the office our internet was down. Since most of my work is related to the internet in some way, I had to sit around. Got pretty bored and was already thinking about taking the rest of the day off. It finally started to work again a couple minutes before lunch.

Besides this, we should get new office furnitures but nobody knows when exactly. I guess it will be very messy.




What's window wonderland? By the way were you the one who got a part time job at a yankee candle store? How did that work out?

I'm glad the internet is back up & running!

I was the one that had the part time job at Yankee Candle. They couldn't accommodate my availability so it didn't work out.

I hope you have a wonderful day Cetacea!

Sorry to hear your internet was down. Hope the rest of the day goes better!


The dog in the front looks like a swiss breed. In my language it's called "Berner Sennenhund". I guess "Mountin Bernese" is the english name. I love those dogs as well.

Very cool dogs!

That was not me, I wish! Although that would be trouble! :smile: Here is a brief description of the Window Wonderland movie:

"A department-store window decorator learns there is a vacancy for her dream job in the run-up to Christmas, only to find a professional rival has his eye on it too."

I hope those days will pass fast! Where are you going? My holidays will start in 12 work days! I'm sooo looking forward to my one week trip to Vienna.

Sounds like a wonderful trip!!! ENJOY!!!

off to work and when I get home I have to pack and load up the van.
Have a great day everyone!

How exciting!!!

Cool!!!! I hope the addition goes smoothly and that they don't hit anything while digging this afternoon!!!!!!

Thanks made! ME TOO! But I'm pretty sure they will hit the TWC line - that's a hard one to miss! Maybe Santa will oversee the project & I'll be surprised when I get home!!!! :thumbsup:

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Cetacea, I hope the internet doesn't have any more issues!

Good morning MMC! What a beautiful morning! The temp & sunshine are just perfect! Wish I were outside!!

I just wanted to say this morning before I catch up on here - our contractor was over last night & they are digging TODAY! I couldn't believe it. Our contractor (Neal) called OUPS (Ohio Utility Protection Services) - call before you dig - & Time Warner Cable at 7:30am Tuesday, they have 48 hours to show up & mark your power lines/cable to your house. Guess what - neither one have showed up. Neal's wife called them again last night & they said if they haven't been there & Neal hits it, OUPS is responsible. Neal said "don't they understand we don't want to hit it!!!" He said a lot of times with cable (Time Warner) they will just let him hit it & they will come out & re-trench it, but we might be w/o cable/internet/phone for a day or two. Don't they know it's Christmas in July week on Hallmark??? :-( Neal said so far (xx) they have never hit a power line - he said they are VERY careful around that.
Anyway we scrambled last night to get the hose/housing out of the landscaping, we got our spotlight down, moved our fountain, & Jim pulled my trellis out from behind the clematis. I'm going to lose the clematis, but I dug up a volunteer petunia that comes back to see me every year & planted it in a pot.
I think I'll bring Gracie to the lake at lunch b/c she won't like all the noise. Neal's crew had another pour this morning, but thought they would be over around 11-11:30. I hope I'm home for lunch when they show up so I can take some pics! EEK! Getting excited!!!
Ok, now off to read posts!!! Have a great day everyone!

That's so exciting Holiday, sending prayers that it goes smoothly!!!

Thanks HMG! You know all about this, don't you? :smile: Can't wait to see your pictures! (I hope I didn't miss them?)

It's still not done, I promise I'll post pictures when it's finished!!!

Have a great day Christmasstar!!!

Speaking of candles, I am ready for some fall fragrances! I did see they have some online but I want pumpkin and cinnamon ones, I didn't notice that one yet.

Sorry the job didn't work out for you!

Yeah, I don't like that either. If I had a boyfriend/spouse, I would never let him thread me like that. That's a dangerious behaviour!



Lool, poor Happy. But it does sound funny.

Sounds like an amazing day!



I guess my dinner will be this as I don't like mexican food.



Those evil forces denied me access as well. They even took over my phone. Tapatalk didn't work either.

Hope your day improves, and you can catch up with work!

Sounds like a great day made. They are saying high of 77 today. Windows are open at work! Enjoy the movies!!!! Once my boss leaves the office I'm changing the channel to HMC!

Thanks CAH!
I just received a coupon in the mail yesterday and they were pushing the Berrylicious scents. I can't wait until I receive a catalog with all of the new Fall scents. I'm sure it will be here before we know it!
