I just found out I get to make a baby shower cake for my niece ! She is going to have a boy (they hope) next month.
How exciting! Congrats to them!

 
Good evening,

The turkeys are kicking my butt, I am quite sore tonight, and we haven't even gotten that busy yet. 2 more weeks of thus craziness. I did finally get the store manager to approve my markdown on the prices to try to get more customers in because they are not moving nearly as fast as they have in years past.
I can't believe we are a mere 25 hours and 54 minutes from the season. I hope I will be able to stay awake for it tomorrow night.
Tomorrow will be here too quickly, I am going to head to bed soon.

Goodnight, everyone.
Sorry to hear them turkeys are kicking your butt!! Hope the markdown improves your sales!! xx
Have a great day xmas!


 
Good times are ahead at the 'Pines tonight... It will have to be an early night for me. I have dental surgery in the morning. I'm getting a tooth pulled. Yep. A tooth pulled on the day before the beginning of the Christmas Season. Oh, and it's also my Special Post Day! Good thing it's already written!

As for tomorrow, don't worry about me too much. Send all your positive thoughts to my brother. He awoke today to find that his best buddy Mr. Kittles (his cat) had crossed the rainbow bridge sometime overnight. Needless to say, he has been heartbroken all day. The two were best friends for Mr. Kittles short six years on this earth. They really don't know the cause of his death. I feel absolutely awful for my brother (Brad) and his wife Cassandra. They have been through a lot this year, especially with Cass beating cancer. Anyway, please send your best to my brother and Cass. I hope that one day, they will one day be reunited with someone that brought them so much joy.

He was a handsome guy...

Awe - I'm so sorry to hear about Mr. Kittles. What a shock - a handsome boy crossed the bridge much too soon! Prayers for Brad & Cass!
Prayers for a painless procedure for you today too!!


 
Hi all! Finally caught up on my reading! So much going on here. I am off to bed and so excited for tomorrow! Not sure how I will sleep, what with being happy for some, sad and hopeful for others, and looking forward to the countdown to the season!! Have a wonderful night and don't spend all night at the Pines. :)
Have a Merry Friday Eve missiechick!

 
Good morning MMC!
So excited:jump

Today I'll be going to the movies with a friend. Imax version off Pan. Than I'll be going to an other friend to go out for dinner.
Wish you all a great day!
Have a FUN day!

 
Love having Christmas movies on tv all the time, so glad they started the first of Nov.
Have a great thursday all, stay festive!
I'm lovin it too!!! ENJOY!

 
A very early good morning to you all! I had an odd dream so I got up at 3:30 and did my writing coursework and wrote a bit more of my story. Today after I drop the kids off, I am going to Plow & Hearth and HomeGoods with my Grandmom. I can't wait to take in all the glorious Christmas splendor!!

Enjoy the day!
Have fun at Plow & Hearth. I have never actually been to one of their stores, but I have browsed their store online! Looks amazing!

 
Morning all, the season is so close you can almost taste the salted caramel fudge hot chocolate. Hopefully after I grow a second set of hands and cut myself in half I'll get a chance of a catch up. Have a good day.
Hope you are able to get caught up! Have a fantastic day Tis!
 
Good morning! I cannot believe how close we are to December already. Even though Christmas is quite some weeks away, it also feels really close already.

Last night when I was cycling through the city to get some groceries for dinner I noticed the festive lights that they had lit. It was a really pretty sight and the first time this year that I saw the lights while they were on.

I hope you all have a merry Thursday. Weekend is around the corner!
I'm excited to start seeing lights!! Love it! Have a great day Coen!

 
Good morning, Jolly Folks! I am up early this morning with my husband who has to catch a plane for work. I hate it when he travels, but at least it's not super close to Thanksgiving.
The weather here has really taken a turn for the colder. Yesterday started out cold and sunny, so me and the little one took our morning walk. By 6pm the winds were whipping and it was pouring rain. We are supposed to get more of that today and a chance for snow tomorrow. Right now 39 degrees. I like it!
Plans for today: home with the little girl, so coloring, reading books, and playing mixed in with cleaning, organizing and maybe some decorating.
Have a great Thursday, Friends!! :)
Sounds like a great day! Stay warm!!! Safe travels for your hubby! xx
p.s. ~ did you say SNOW?
 
Good morning MMC!
Happy Thursday!
Typical day of errands and daily chores. I also need to start working on some deep cleaning that I want done before Thanksgiving. It's getting close, two more weeks to go. Looks like I'm going to get that fresh turkey from my butcher after all. My husband will be doing work for him while he's renovating the store. He said he's going to order a few for whoever wants them! He's also hoping to re-open before Christmas which would be wonderful.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Awesome news about the turkey & your butcher! Have a great day HMG!

 
Good Thursday Morning MMC! It's currently 49 degrees with light fog. We are expecting a forecast high temperature today of 58 degrees with showers. We've actually had a couple of days with some rain this week which we need anyway.
Well this is it. The last day before D-DAY. I have a long day actually. I have work of course and then after I have an exam. I'll come home, have dinner, and have the Jets/Bills game to keep me company and arrive on the boards tonight like most of you about an hour or so before the midnight hour. That's late for me but...it's more than worth it to count it down with you all. At least we'll be tired on a FRIDAY and be heading into the weekend.
Have a great Thursday guys. This is it...the last day before it all begins.
I'm hoping I can keep my peepers open til midnight tonight!! I stayed up too late last night ~ what was I thinking!!??
Good luck on the exam!
 
Not sure I can join the gathering tonight and into the wee hours, if not, I'll be there in merry spirit. :brr

Brent, thank you for your special post and mentioning my buddy Kermit's song and connecting it with our countdown passion.

It's always difficult to lose a fur-friend and I will keep Brad and Cass and their pets in my thoughts.

I don't have to remind you to keep a merry thought in your head because all of us do, but I say it anyway because it's my special way of saying, "I'm thinking of y'all".

So, keep a merry thought in your head. :ornarment

Thanks, Auntie. The song speaks to me every year. So glad I could make a connection with my ad my first special post.

Brad and Cass appreciate your support. My brother is really taking it very hard.
 
Hello friends! Long time no see! I know it's been quite a while, but I wanted to stop in and say hi, especially since the special posts are partaking.

Two of the three tests I have to do for work, I now have done and I will be taking the last one next week and will have all my certifications, so I plan on being here more regularly again. Between being very busy with the kids and in my free time studying, if not at work, that's what I've been doing! My new job is going great though and I love it - it's very rewarding!

I think of you all often and pray for you all too! Hope all is well with you all! Have a great Thursday! Christmas is coming!!!
