Good morning MMC!
I am still off work because of my arm it sucks because I can't do anything no crocheting is getting done no work is getting done I just sit here watching Netflix and TV and basically doing nothing. The pain is getting less but it's still very sore. I will be off till at least next Wednesday still.
I cannot even type on the computer I am thankful that my phone I can speak into and it types for me. This is the main reason I haven't been on here very often.

We're having snowfall warnings here for tonight expecting up to 15 centimeters of snow... I don't have any boots yet! It is also too early for it so many leaves still on the trees it could end up being a real problem.

Hope you are having a fabulous day

So sorry-praying for you CS. Hope you feel better very soon and can get back to work!

Awesome photo.

Thanks, it screams Christmas to me, too! Always remember seeing the coke truck commercial growing up, and getting so excited.

Sounds like a fun shopping trip!! I love it when you get "the look" from the cashier. When I buy a holiday magazine in September they always have a comment - "already?"

It was fun, because I didn't expect it to turn into Christmas shopping! I got some new light strings, a wall decoration that lights up (for the office), a couple of "frame" ornaments (the kind you put your own picture into), a couple of stockings for gifts ... oh, I forget what else. The Home Depot clerk was chattering like a magpie about the Christmas stuff being out already and "earlier every year." I stated that that was actually a myth, that the media had been making that complaint since the early 1900s. That took a little wind out of her sails ... but she must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle. Yatta yatta yatta!

HAPPY WEEKEND ALL!!!!!!! I'm actually OFF this ENTIRE weekend!!!!!!! IT'S THE BEST!! (can you tell I'm excited???)

Relaxing and hydrating before the big run tomorrow-3.5-4 miles for me and 12 for Husband! I got my library card today and feel like a kid at Christmas--I am listening to some awesome audiobooks and I'm REALLY excited about them! Libraries are the best!

Let's all have a productive, FUN, and relaxing fall weekend! The AC units are coming out TONIGHT-areas near us are under frost/freeze warnings for the first time tomorrow night!

Quite a day ... our office had an all-day offsite at a sort of nature preserve, which included a 2-hour meeting, then lunch, then an outdoor competitive activity (I wound up hiking about two miles), so I'm kinda tired and stiff. Hope I can get out of bed in the morning! Trying to get caught up with the Countdown posts, but I'm not very focused just now.

Yeah I mean if EVERY year it was earlier and earlier...by now the Christmas stuff would be out year-round (we could only dream huh?).

Enjoy your run and your weekend off. Weekends rule. I had to take the a/c out a few weeks ago. Now I'm ready to blast the heat on already.

Husband is home. Chores are being done briefly before relaxing with a good book before bed! AC units are coming out RIGHT. NOW. Let's all celebrate the fact that I smelled frost in the air for the first time tonight!!

Christmasstar · Oct 16, 2015

We are going to have snow tonight

Well, it is getting a bit chilly, so I turned on the valve to the propane tank and fired up the fireplace tonight. It's the first time since last March since I had it lit and my does it feel good! And besides, it gives me so much comfort not only feeling the heat, but watching the flames flicker... It's sort of soothing! That's the plans for tonight, fireplace and a major chill out factor.....

Well, sadly, last night, my wife's grandfather took a turn for the worse and today the hospital said they could do no more and sent him to a Hospice. You know what that means...They told my wife and Mil that it could be 2 days, 2 weeks or a month, they just didn't know exactly..... So, it's now the waiting process which in a lot of ways is worse than something happening suddenly...
