Christmas Countdown - 2014

[made582]

Good evening,

Long slow night at work, I am feeling somewhat better, just this killer sore throat that won't stop.

Winding down listening to some 'Quo, I do have to be up early and I have been so out of it with being sick the last few days.

My wife talked to my grandmother tonight, she said she doesn't sound too well. It is hard since my g-ma is tough as nails and a fighter, she refuses to have any novocaine or laughing gas when she has dental work, this is very hard to deal with, she has always been the true leader of our whole family.

I should probably will myself to sleep, 545 gets here way too soon.

Good night, all.

Hope your throat is feeling better today, Xmas!!!

Keeping you and grandparents in my prayers.

99 days until the season???

Ladies and Gents, it's time to start getting ready!

It's exciting isn't it?? Even the rest of my family is starting to finally get in the christmas planning mode.

Good Morning, friends~

Happy Thursday!! Looking forward to the weekend [emoji173]️

Wishing you a blessed day!

Good Morning, Buddy!!!!!! Hope work is going well today!!!!!!

Well I left my job last friday, my work friends got me the biggest bunch of flowers and some vouchers! Im going to miss them all but we are having a night out together soon and ill pop in on my way home from my new job which I start in 20 days! eekk!!

Really fancied hot chocolate last night, havent had it for a while and I really enjoyed it, always reminds me of the season!!

Going to catch up on the posts, hope this finds everyone well and hope you all have a great day!!

Glad you had a nice send off at work!! It's even better that you are going to be able to get back together with everyone soon too!!!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day!!!

Good morning everybody!!! Happy Friday Eve!!! I haven't had a chance to catch up on posts, but while my Keurig is brewing my coffee, I wanted to jump on & say "hello"! I just turned Christmas on Pandora, hoping the coffee will gear me up for a lot of painting today! 21563484 (that was Miss Gracie saying hello! :lol: That's what I get for walking away to grab my coffee!)
Anyway - we are going to have some fun today! The trusses for our new room were delivered this morning! Woo Hoo! Contractor kept saying they were waiting on trusses....well, they are here!!! Bring on construction!!
:???:
My bathroom is gone! Only thing left is a bath tub! Of course that did not get done without a lot of cursing & a hole in the wall! And a 5 gallon bucket under the water valves! Our plumber is coming back Tuesday anyway - thankfully! Ran into more issues - imagine that! LOL!

Oh how I love a day off work! :grin: Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

LOL!!!! Tell Gracie we said good morning too!!!!

Good Luck with the painting today!!!!! Hope it goes smoothly!!!

WooHoo to the trusses arriving!!!!! Hope they can get them up and the roof on quickly!!!!!

I am in such a hurry scanning through the post and not having a chance to read anything but this picture caught my attention and your comment is hilarious!!! I am glad I didn't have a mouth full of coffee when I read it. It reminds me of a new commercial where they put the plate in front of that guy and the plate looks kind of like this and told him it was steak. (not sure if you seen it). They get so fancy with the arrangement that you have no idea what you are eating. Ha ha! That's how it was when I got invited to a dinner like this with my daughter and son-in-law at the school she teaches at. It was in the Culinary section of the school and we were the test subjects. My son-in-law had these reactions to the plates they had put on the table because everything looked like this. He is a meat and potato type guy and this just freaked him out a bit. He was not rude to anyone about this, just to make that clear, he used his manners but it was just funny how he reacted. The food was delish however!!!

Wow! This picture reminded me of several funny happenings!

LOL!!!!! Sounds like a fun night!!! I would have been like your SIL. Then would have stopped at McDonald's on the way home!!!!!


That is funny about Maris too!!!! She is just watching over you to make sure you are okay at night!!!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be hot and humid here this morning with a high in the mid 80's again. I have just been sitting around reading the paper and looking at the grocery ads this morning. Nothing that great in either of them though. So I guess it's time for me to get up and get busy. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

I am sure most of you are familiar with this scene in, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, where Snoopy rises in the pumpkin patch making Linus believe the Great Pumpkin has arrived.

My Jack Russell mix dog, Maris, will stand over me early in the morning and look down on me hoping I am awake. It is still dark in the room and all I see is a silhouette of her looking down on me. I call it the, "Great Pumpkin Stare Down". She has that look mastered!

This is how it looks to me! =)

Haha!! That's too cute!! =]

 

[snowflake22]

She is being such a little terrorist this morning!!!! :lol: Steeling the tape I'm using to tape things off, steeling everything she can get her mouth around. You want her??? (just for an hour or 2??) LOL!!! Have a great day snowflake!







Sorry to hear you were in such pain yesterday. Glad you are feeling better today!!!!! x









Ha ha ha...this is how Buster always looked at me too! Too funny!!!



Ok, time to get back to work! My sis & my mom are stopping in soon to see what's going on!

Yes!! I'll take her!! Harlowe is lonely today, and I can take the afternoon off & host a play date with the girls!! [emoji172][emoji252]

Good luck today!!

 

[snowflake22]

Snowflake, while scanning through the post I saw you bought a sign that reads, "Pumpkins Locally Grown 5 cents". I saw that same sign at Michaels on Saturday and told Wayne I want it. I love that sign!





Tell Gracie, "245177"!!! cheesy

Have a great day!!!

Yep!! That's where I bought it! [emoji316]
I had a 40% off coupon, couldn't resist it!

Worrying about Gloria. A hurricane is headed right their way tonight and into tomorrow. A tropical storm is supposed to follow the same track a few days later.

What was funny about it is that my son-in-law's brother was with us too and they both reminded me of finicky 5 year old kids. I could not stop laughing at their reaction and then they started talking about different foods and both got excited when they talked about missing the burritos they use to eat from the school cafeteria. My mom and I were dying laughing! Everyone makes fun of school food and here we are eating a gourmet meal and they are talking about school cafeteria food. But like I said, they were not being disresptful to the people serving the food, we were just having silly conversation amongst ourselves. I thought the food at the culinary school was fabulous!

Keeping them in my prayers. I've had the weather channel on and they just showed that cases of water are selling for $18. That is crazy!!!

Thanks, buddy! It is =]
Hope your morning is going well!

Hope everyone is well and blessed and those who've been under the weather are doing better today! Just wanted to say good morning to a wonderful group of people.

I was just about to mention that! I loved the school pizza! I was not a picky eater and ate whatever they served but a lot of kids hate school lunches. I am still not a picky eater but my food allergies make me appear that way. :-? Everyone says I need to eat more. I can't! :

 

[made582]

I could go for a pot or two!!!
