Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Nope, that is just a random stock picture I found on google, from the bag design I think that is from 2011







I have been through many job/career changes over the years, and when a job begins to feel like you describe, all you can do is hold true to what you believe is best, stick to your convictions. Others may or may not come around, but never worry about having to leave a job that is bringing more heartache than satisfaction or about wearing out your welcome because you are doing what you believe to be right! Life is too short and when one door closes, it may be rough for awhile but there could and will be something a lot better right around the corner!









Thanks!! It is great to be back!!







That is awesome! I get the same way when I see and hear the first Christmas commercials on TV!



Good morning everyone!! Hope everyone is doing great today! Almost Friday! Really looking forward to the weekend, even though this has been a fairly great week, in fact this week flew by and since I have been active here again my spirits have been very high! Hoping the pleasant weather holds out for the weekend so I can get out to get some pictures of the fall colors, visit some local orchards and buy some fresh apples for winter baking.



Have a great day everyone and hope it is a day filled with the Christmas spirit for everyone!! :merry:

Have a great weekend, CJ!! [emoji319]

Well, another day down here. Been a few tough ones. There is a lot of things going on here and I am getting a feeling that we are about to go down a difficult road as a district. Just a lot of worries....

I've told my boss today that I was going to look for another job. She insisted that I not, but I get the feeling that my welcome has worn out as a principal here. Stinks that it's my hometown, but it might be time for a change. I truly believe in the saying that you will either leave a hero or stay too long and die a villain. If anyone has any tips for knowing when you have wore you welcome out, I sure would appreciate it.

While it has been hard, my spirits are still high. I know that in all jobs one of three things will happen: you get fired, you leave, or you die. Someone else is going to have your job. I've always known that and been comfortable with it. No matter what, the most important thing is family and I'm blessed with that.

Didn't mean to bring a damper to the pines, but I was just would like some advice on my earlier question.

Yall have a good night!

I wish I had some answers or advice for you, coach.

Just know that you are in my thoughts & prayers~ praying for guidance & strength.

Snowflake said it first---but I feel the same way.

Now we are waiting for the video of you doing the Victory Dance with the bear! :lol:

Maybe he IS the bear!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be a chilly rainy day here in central Indy with a high in the upper 50's. I have some stuff to do around the apartment this morning and then I have to head out to my sister's house. She blew me off yesterday so I should do it to her today but I'll be the nice guy. I'll have to be on the lookout on my way out too. A prisoner escaped from the local jail this morning and they have closed down part of the town while they are looking for him. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Oh no! Stay safe out there! Stay dry too!!! Have a good day!

My supervisor was a micro-managing tyrant who used the folks under him to get ahead.

One of those caused me to leave the only job I ever quit. I stood five months of it, but it was making life miserable. I quit with Mr.'s blessing and temped for a couple years until I landed where I am now. I still think of that manager. There's a school crossing guard on my route to work who looks a lot like her. I wonder ... ?

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve!!!! It's a chilly, rainy day in Ohio ~ supposed to rain all day! Makes me want to take a nap! It was another late night last night - working on the house, but today is carpet day!! Finally! I'm drinking my coffee, Christmas Apple candle is burning, it's almost Friday - ahhh, love it!

We caught a mouse in the office this morning. UGH! I was sitting here at the computer when I heard the snap! YUCK!!! I guess it's that time of year!

Have a great day everyone!!!

Happy Thursday!

Looking forward to a long weekend. Mr. and I are taking off from work tomorrow and our offices are closed Monday. We'll be celebrating a special wedding anniversary. No particular plans---we'll just hang out together and do what we feel like---eat out, maybe go to the fair, whatever. We're just as happy together as the day we wed. It's an incredible blessing to spend your life with the one you love best in all the world.

And the fall weather today, and predicted for tomorrow---perfect. Cool and bright, with colorful foliage sprinkled all around.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a nice day today! It should be sunny and about 84°. I wish it was colder, but mid-80's isn't terrible.

Not much happening today...yet, anyway. :mrgreen:

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good morning, everyone!

Happy Thursday! I am especially happy today since I am teaching for the rest of the week. A perfect way to lead me into the long weekend!

I must say, the countdown looks astounding! As Crown said, there is less than a week remaining before we reach that hidden milestone of a month until the beginning of the Christmas Season! Hooray!

Temperatures in Ottawa today are a little chilly for this time of year. Highs are to reach the lower 10s/50s. It was fairly close to reaching the freezing mark last night. The forecast calls for an increase in the temperature to begin on Sunday and last throughout next week, but I am sure we will reach that freezing point soon enough.

Despite the Kings loss last night, it was great to see the 2013-14 Stanley Cup Champions banner raised to the rafters of Staple Center. Watching and reliving the highlights of the magical playoff run was a little emotional. I could not stop smiling. Such a wonderful feeling!

As for tonight, I don't quite know what I will be doing... Kim and I don't really have any plans, which is nice. I expect the weekend to be a little busy. We're driving to Cornwall after the gym tomorrow. Introducing Simon to Kim's mom's two cats and dog should be interesting. The dog already doesn't really get along with the cats a whole lot. We'll see how it goes! Oh, and not to mention Simon already doesn't enjoy car rides a whole lot...

OK, well, I hope everyone is enjoying their Thursday. The long weekend is barely over a day and a half away! I, myself, am more than excited to celebrate (Canadian) Thanksgiving. I am sure I will be envious of the American Thanksgiving in about six weeks, but for now, I will be thankful for the delicious meal and treats put in front of me!

Have a great Thursday, everyone!

 

[brent]

A quick note: The Blossoms thread hasn't been updated in four days. I'll do my best to find some Christmas in Cornwall this weekend. Hopefully everyone else has their phone/cameras ready for any signs of the Season, too!
