Christmas Countdown - 2015

[brent]

Good Morning, Everyone.

Another weekend approaches and tomorrow is Weekend Eve again!

Let's take a peek at today's figures:
Days to the Season: 211
Days to Christmas Day: 253

Tomorrow, my Friends -- SINGLE DIGITS to the 1/3 Christmas Day Milestone,
The day after that -- SINGLE DIGITS to the 200-day Season Window, as our back-to-back Milestone Days approach.
(Is it just me, or does that make it seem like the year is really starting to pick up speed?)


Well, it seemed as if the rain fell almost continuously yesterday, although never hard. Another wet one is on tap for today, but we are suppsedly in for a more Friendly Friday. We shall see.
For now, things have kicked off here in the capital city at 48 degrees, with a light drizzle.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, fellow travelers!


Speaking of traveling.
The following is a

** TRAVEL ALERT **

The Crowns are off to Florida for a week to visit relatives and attend a school reunion. We are leaving early this Saturday morning and will not return until the following Saturday evening.
As such, a dependable and willing volunteer (or volunteers) will be needed for eight mornings begining this Saturday.
Any takers?
(The first to volunteer will not be turned away -- I promise!)

I can lend a hand. It has been a while since I have led the count. I'd be happy to do so again! That is, assuming nobody else has volunteered yet... (I didn't see any offers).

I think I am capable of taking over. Assuming nobody else has volunteered yet... I haven't looked.

I think you're the first one!

Good morning, everyone!

It's almost afternoon.... I picked up a shift at a school I have not been to in about two months. The students here are really good and have been easy to get along with thus far. The best part about the school is that they have three of their four classes in the morning. Then, there is only one more class after lunch. Awesome!

It is yet another beautiful day in the Ottawa area. At the moment, we're around double digits (low 50s), and should be reaching the upper teens (60s) this afternoon. Oh, and the sun is shining, too - can't beat that!

Tonight should be somewhat busy. I have to make the second part of dinner - Kim and I did the first part last night. I also have hockey at 9pm tonight. We play our semifinal game tonight. If we win, we move on to the finals. If we lose, our season is over. We'll see how it goes!

I hope everyone is having a great Thursday thus far. The weekend is nearly a day and a half away!

Never mind, you already answered my questions =]

Glad you're seeing some sunshine! Sounds like a gorgeous spring day.

Good luck & have fun at your hockey game tonight!

Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone!

Happy Hump Day! Coincidentally, it is "Hump" Day in terms of both the week and month! We're halfway through both. I figured I would drop by and say "hello." I've been a little busy this week. I don't have work yet for tomorrow, but I am really hoping that changes in the morning.

It's bed time for me. Sorry I can't stay at the 'Pines for too long. I hope you all have fun. These dual Hump Days at the 'Pines don't come along often.

Hard to believe it's the middle of April already! WOW! Have a great day Brent!

Good evening,

Tonight is not the night to get caught up, can barely keep my eyes open. I have my fingers crossed tomorrow will be the day.
Day off is finally here, this is always one of the roughest weeks of the year at work and I am feeling it.


Goodnight, everyone.

Enjoy your day off!!!

Good morning! I know it's early, but what can I say, my eyeballs and brain were up and awake before the rest of me was, so I figured I might as well just get up out of bed and get the coffee pot going and have an early start this morning. And besides, now that I'm up, my tummy is starting to growl as well; so, might as well raid the refrigerator while I'm up also.

Looks like you all had a hooting good time at the Pines last night, I have a very strong feeling that we won't see Made until sometime around noon today, especially with the mix of stuff that Carl was feeding him all might long....

Have a great day!!! You're going to need that coffee as early as you got up!

Good morning, MMC!!

Happy Friday Eve!!!

Wishing you a blessed day~

Good Morning!
Happy Thursday!
I'm just having my coffee, trying to relax for a few minutes. I have to get moving soon, I have to work today. I don't have much planned afterward, I'm a bit headachey again this morning so I hope I can take it easy later today. As of right now I'll just be working on my daily chores, hopefully nothing else will come up. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day. I'll see you all later!

Hope you are feeling better by now! Have a great day!

Binger....I had a nightmare last night....

LOVE IT!!!

Looking at the date just reminded me that it was 1 month ago today that Dad passed away! :sad: In some ways I can't believe it's been a month already, & in others it seems like an eternity! Regardless - he is missed! :sad:

Sounds like you have a fun trip ahead!! Have a great day!

Dad Update: He went for his follow-up appt. yesterday. The PA said she had looked at his file & it looked like the "shock" worked to lower his heart rate, but it will take a while for the new meds to fully kick in so that he isn't exhausted all the time. Mom said his gout is better too.

Now we wait for aunt's surgery on Monday.

Glad to hear things are looking better for your Dad! Continued prayers for both your Dad & your Aunt!

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be a rainy cloudy day here with a high in the upper 60's. Boo!!!! Bring back the sunshine!!! I need to run to the grocery store this morning and I need to get my niece a birthday card too. Other than that, not much going on. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!

Mother nature is giving you a dreary day so you can sleep off that party from last night!!! cheesy Have a great day made!

It's actually starting to look and feel like spring around here. At least the snow is all gone, which we wouldn't have thought was even possible a few weeks ago! It'll be gray and wet tomorrow, but outside it looks as though today is trying to make up for that.

Enjoy the nice weather today! Have a great day!

Happy Friday Eve, Holiday!

Congrats on your new chairs & patio set!
Glad that you found one you like so well!

Your dinner was delicious, I bet. It's making me hungry just thinking about it =]

Stay safe today!
Hope the weather stays nice.

Have a fabulous day!

Good Morning, Holiday!!!!!! Sounds like you had a productive night last night!!!!! Hope you can get the new patio set picked up tonight!!!

Congrats to your hubby!!!!!

Send that sunshine back this way!!!!

Thanks! Did you steal the sunshine, cuz it's gone from here now!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's still overcast today, but it's about 15° cooler than it was this time yesterday. It's downright chilly...nice!

April 15 has finally gone by, so Nancy and all the girls in her CPA office are off today and tomorrow. I never get to have lunch with her, so I'll enjoy it today!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Have a nice lunch with Nancy today!! I bet she is happy April 15th is here & gone!
I thought of you last night when I ordered our patio furniture set - the name of the set is "Bellville" cheesy
Have a great day!

Nope, wasn't me. It's still cloudy here but at least the rain has held off.
