Christmas Countdown - 2008

[JayIsh]

I'm ready! Let me know enough in advance and I'll get us all some concert tickets...I think the big Menudo reunion tour should be hitting the big apple before long...Or perhaps the Bay City Rollers...Or my All time favorite seventies band, Hamilton Joe, Frank and Reynolds! Or perhaps the oh so talented Karl Douglass will be in town to wow us with "Kung Fu Fighting"!!!

And again, we hit another cultural holiday difference................

Today is Mother's Day here in Britain - in North America, it isn't for another couple of months!!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day to those British mothers among us!!!!

Thanks, Dom. Another believer!

Days to the Season: 256
Days to Christmas Day 298
Now that the 300-day Christmas window has passed, on we go to our next milestone, the 1/3 Season marker, arriving in less than 2 weeks!

We stand at a sunny 44 this morning. Sixties this afternoon, then past 70 tomorrow. Beautiful! (Anyone want to move to Raleigh? Perhaps from somewhere in the cold north?)

So, the Shispering Pines is a chain, eh. That's good to hear, Bing. (I wonder if they are listed with AAA?)
Free Continental Coffee with fired twinkies and the softest mattresses this side of heaven. No sir, you can't go wrong at the Shispering Pines Motel.

Have a Super Sunday, guys!

Morning all!

I cant believe its Monday already! Busy weekend once again! I didnt do any indoor painting or decorating this weekend, as I'm getting sick to the back teeth of it!! I decided to do some work on the outside of the house.... so I jet washed our front path, and cleared some ivy from the front of the house on Saturday, then on Sunday after taking my mum out for mothers day, I jet washed our patio in the back.... didnt quite get it finished before it got cold and dark, but the difference is amazing!

Have a bit of Monday blues this morning, think I'm just too **** tired!

Anyhoo, its March already, which means we are a step closer to the season! Really looking forward to buying some new decorations and tree lights this year!!

Hope you all have a great Monday

Scoobie

Good Morning, All!

Welcome to March - the month when spring begins and we pass from the first third to the 2nd third of our Season count. This momentous event will occur on the Ides of March, a bare 12 days away.
And speaking of the count:

Days to the Season: 255
Days to Christmas Day 297

Looks like another busy Monday at the office, so I best get to it.

Have a Marvelous Monday, my friends!

Raleigh here I come!! Would you assist me Crown, in finding a suitable place to live? I'll be arriving with two Morgan horses and a feisty Fox Terrier.

Oh wait. It's 54 degrees this morning. Bye-bye snow. Gotta find those sandals...anyone want to join me in a rousing rendition of "Heat Wave"? !! YABBA!

All ready for you my friend! The holes are cut in the suitcase.
(Might be a tight squeeze with the 2 horses!)
Fox is ready and excited to see Bix.

Good Morning Friends! A cloudy and windy day here today. The hi being about 44. Looks as if we may get some rain too. I keep telling myself think spring but seems when I do we end up with some snow...*L I agree with Dom looking forward to that 1/3 marker to the season. Time flies when you are having funcheesy
Have a great Monday everyone!!

 

[JayIsh]

There are those who believe that the words "great" and "Monday" should never be used in the same sentence and absolutely never back to back...I, of course, love Mondays...Like I love the dentist...Or flat tires...

 

[Annette]

Well I partially agree with you Jay. But somethings can't be changed...*L
I don't mind the dentist myself. After all I used to work as a dental assistant. Now going in for a haircut is a different story...*L
So I hope everyone has an Ok Monday.. cheesy

 

[Binger]

Beware the Ides of March...( that is the day that Crown attacks their mattress with a butter knife..) YABBA> off to the shispering Pines!!

 

[Binger]

Hey Cedar stop on by Norfolk enroute to Raleigh..... we'll have some java and then you can cruise the rest of the way all high octaned up! We'll conference call Jay and make plans for the Shispering Pines reunion in the Big Apple. I hear he has tix to see the Bay City Rollers! Big Hair Away!!!!
YABBA!!

Time flies when you are having funcheesy....

When you are my age, Annette, time just flies, whether you are having fun or not.
