I know-I've been snacking on some birthday cake! Yikes! It's okay-come January we'll all be in the same boat--and rowing it furiously to burn off that fruitcake! :rolleyes:



Good morning FS! I hope your prep goes well and that you have a great day, even when you're busy!!

Was yesterday your birthday DYHWIH?? Happy Bleated birthday!!!! Sorry I am so late! I hope you had a very special day. Best wishes to you!
 
Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's cold down here! I had so much ice on my windshield, I had to scrape it off. That's pretty unusual for us in November!

Mama called to say that she's made an agreement to buy a lawn mower today, and wants me to take her with my truck and a trailer to get it this morning. My truck is such a mess. Lulu is the only one who rides with me, so I pretty much live like a bachelor in it, with Pepsi cans, chip bags and candy wrappers everywhere. I have to go clean it our real quick, so Mama doesn't disown me.

I hope y'all have a great day! :D
Gorgeous picture Brad!! I never made it to your post with Elizabeth's picture yesterday but I saw where someone commented on it & I just wanted to say she is stunning!

Good luck cleaning that truck ~ make mama proud! :) Have a great day!

Good Evening!
Good to be home here on the countryside in Norway
But I've been awake for over thirty hours so Im going to sleep asap
Goodnight! ♥
Oh my, I trust that you slept really well. Have a good day! Do you guys have snow yet over there?

I need to be on the Jayish diet ,,,, all coffee and jogging around the Christmas tree ,,,,
They're recommending tea over here. Supposedly you can drink as much as you want as long as it is black tea. Too bad I'm a coffee lover myself. :P

Good Tuesday Morning MMC! Feel the anticipation building by the hour now instead of by the day since we're so close to turkey day. Yesterday was a long and busy day at work. I got a headache and I went home and fell asleep for an hour which as I mentioned yesterday I hardly ever do. I wound up going to bed and sleeping 7 hours afterwards still so I feel pretty energetic today. Ready for another busy day at work here but if I have to run through a brick wall today I will...to get to the Eve of Thanksgiving. We plan on leaving as early as noon on Wednesday but I'm thinking maybe it's more likely we leave by 1ish.
I hope you all have a great Tuesday...and keep believing in the turkey lol :).
Power naps for the win. I usually take one right when I get home from work. It energizes me to get to my prepping for the next day and for whatever chores I have left around the house. It also allows me to sleep a little less during the night.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday afternoon (or day) and has fun with Thanksgiving preparations. We don't celebrate it over here, but I'm getting a whiff of festivity from the people on here who do.

Enjoy!
 
Good morning MMC! Happy Thanksgiving Tuesday!! I can't believe there are only 2 nights left to prepare before the big day! Crazy! Tomorrow night my sisters/nieces/Mom/mil are going to see the play/musical Mama Mia, so last night we went to Moms to watch the movie Mama Mia....now I'm really excited for tomorrow night. It's so entertaining! But that only leaves TONIGHT to get things ready for Thanksgiving! Good thing I'm not hosting! ;) I was supposed to bring a pumpkin roll & sausage dressing to my sisters on Thursday but my sil said she has so many cupcakes left from the wedding & my sis has 3 pumpkin pies we probably won't need the pumpkin roll so I'm going to make sweet potato soufflé instead! YUM! I'll make the sausage dressing tonight (crock pot) so all I have to do is turn it on Thursday - and I can make the soufflé while watching the Macy's parade! :) But tonight I have got to get to the grocery. UGH! I don't mind the grocery during the holidays but I really need a Kroger trip this time & that place is just nuts! :p
Ok, enough babbling from me!! I must be getting excited. HA! Have a wonderful day MMC!

Good luck at the grocery store tonight, happy cooking!! I love the vibe in your post, it's such an exciting time of the year! :)
Hope you have a wonderful day, holiday!

How cool to be in the Big Parade!! I can't see the pictures; they must be FB pictures, which my work blocks, but I'll check it out on my phone. FYI, I'm not in NYC. It must be some other, less-handsome Brad that your friend's daughter is pictured with! :D

Good morning and happy Tuesday, Brad!
It's great that you are seeing some cooler than normal weather, probably really makes it feel like the holidays.
Good luck cleaning out your truck ;)
Hope you have a great day!

Hope they continue to have a magical time!
 
Hello MMC Friends:snowball
Well my SIL just left for Paris now and my house will be quite over this thanksgiving holiday.
I always think it is a blessings to see your family even if it dosn't fall right on the actual holiday !
Hope Those of you who celebrate thanksgiving are excited for a long weekend **
Yay !!
Glad you had a nice visit with your SIL! If you need some noise on Thanksgiving, come on over to my sisters! ;)
Have a great day MsRose!
 
Quick in and quick out as I am in hurry up and get r done mode for an out of town conference. My hubbins and the cat will be alone for three nights. Looking forward to this business trip with a bit of social fun scheduled for the evening. I'm flying. I like flying, but my ears don't enjoy it. I've tried everything, chewing gum, etc. but my super sensitive ears keep ringing and take forever to un-pop. I'm going to try construction ear plugs and see if that helps this time. I don't leave until Sunday morning.

I'm sure I'll pop in on Thursday to wish all the Americans a Happy Thanksgiving, but in case I don't, please enjoy your time with family and don't burn the rolls or the beast.

I watched FREE BIRDS the other night, it was fun guessing all the voices behind the birds.

KEEP A MERRY THOUGHT IN YOUR HEAD!
Have a fun & safe trip!!! I hope your hubby & O'Malley behave while you're away!! ;)
 
Rare thing happened...I fell asleep around 6PM for an hour. I went to lie down and rest but I fell asleep. I almost never ever fall asleep during the day time. I think that I didn't sleep enough last night though and the extra work time/load these few days this week probably got to me a bit.
You must have needed some Zzzzz's! Hope it made ya feel better & you were able to sleep last night!
 
Good evening,

One more day until my mini Thanksgiving break, I need it, I feel so sick tonight.
Easy day compared to the last few.
I hope you all had a great day.
Goodnight, everyone.
Hope you are feeling better today & your last day before break goes well!!
 
Hello all. Well, Kimmie helped herself to some cookies from the counter today. :)

Little bit of a tummy ache tonight. She's okay, though.

I hope you all have a great night!
Oh Kimmie!! Hope she didn't get sick. Gracie helped herself to a cookie, right off the pan last week too! Little stinkers!!!
 
Morning all. My presentation went well yesterday, over and done with for another year. I have one big customer event on Wednesday not to mention a 16 hour day and then things should be a little easier. Hopefully Christmas tree will be purchased on Thursday .
Glad to hear your presentation went well!! Hope the rest of your week goes well & you find the perfect tree!
