Christmas Countdown - 2014

Good morning!

Well, Happy struck again. Yesterday I came home to find he had gotten my sealed bag of chocolate protein powder I use to make shakes! He ate through the bag. It was in iur counter and I'm not sure how he reached it. The thought never occurred to me that he would be interested in it. It was a lot! After that much protein the poor dog may need some fiber to counteract that so he doesn't have some unpleasant trouble.

I told him his conduct was very unbecoming and that he should be ashamed of himself. He didn't seem to be embarrassed in the least bit, however.

Hope y'all have a good day!

Poor Happy! Hoping for no belly aches! Hope you're having a good day too!

Beautiful! On another note: Have you ever heard of Fake AP Stylebook? I just bought The Elephants of Style (in "honor" of the Elements of Style); Yes, I Could Care Less (Kindle); and Lapsing into a Comma. I can hardly wait to read Lapsing into a Comma!

ROFL I'm thinking it's a general canine thing because this one:

... just stole a stick of butter off the counter 30 seconds before I read the Wheaton Terrier comment. That's a black Lab - German Shepherd, "Moose."

Moose is so cute!

Thanks, Bradmac, for adding Joshua to your siggie. It means a lot to me.

I am going to be putting up some fall decorations this week. I leave my USB Christmas tree and 'Merry Christmas' wall decoration up all year (although I only turn on the decoration starting October 1). What can I say?



I'm obsessed.

Welcome to the Countdown!

I love that you leave some decorations up, all year around. It leaves a little bit of Christmas in you're everyday life!

Good afternoon, everyone. Hope you're all having a nice day so far!

Is that legal? Her employer can get rid of her for being sick? I would check with an attorney or union, if there is one. This is sad news indeed. Is your mom old enough for Social Security? Could she qualify for SSI? Prayers for all of you, Made.

Well today ended pretty badly. Mom lost her job this afternoon. So things are going to be rough without her having insurance.

Happy birthday to your son.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a warm morning, but it's only supposed to get to 90° this afternoon. I hope so!

My son turns 17 tomorrow...17! How did that happen? We're taking him and a few of his best friends out to eat tomorrow night, then dropping them off to see the new scary movie "As Above, So Below". Crazy name for a movie, but it looks scary. Then Saturday evening, we'll have the family over for burgers & dogs.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Thank you!

No, I haven't heard of those. I usually read grammar-related books only in the line of duty. Otherwise it's too much like taking my work home with me!

Welcome to the countdown, CelebratetoExcess! We're glad you're here!

I have a few animated Christmas windows & clocks that I leave out all year, too! As well as my Christmas dinnerware & mugs[emoji319] We all need a little Christmas year round!

These seem to have enough humor for me. I will let you know.

Thank you!

How is everyone today? Cant believe my maternity leave is almost over, I can go back to work on 12th of this month if I wish or I can go back just before Christmas. Im so tempted to not go back for another year and possibly start up my own cake business from home so I can spend time with my little one.

Yes Ive been making a few bits at home, may start looking into before the christmas season to get a few orders in

Good luck in your decision - I would think the holidays would be a great time to start up a cake business!!! xx

This is cheating??? Oh I am in such trouble. I've Pandora and CD Christmas Caroling since late May. LOL

:lol:

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! I was so excited last night! I watched one of the Walton's specials I had recorded on Labor Day on the Hallmark Channel and every once in a while a pop up appeared that read "9 weeks till Countdown to Christmas!!"

It's been a really hard, long year for us thus far. I am looking forward to Christmas decorations, TV specials and all the magic.

I hope the "ber" months are kinder to you!!! I love seeing that pop-up too - and now they are playing Christmas music while advertising the 12 new Christmas movies this year. YAY!

Good morning, everyone. Hope you all have a great day.

Hope you are having a great day to sugar!
