Christmas Countdown - 2016

[graywolf70]

Goodmorning MMC!! Hope everyone has a beautiful Sunday whether you're working, with family or watching games/movies.

Today is the first day in Florida since last February that the weather has been nice enough to open some windows and sit outside. To me it's ideal. Gray, overcast and about 55. Accuweather says realfeel is 49, but I don't agree. LOL A bit breezy with a light drizzling rain.

I'm sitting on my back porch carving some wood pieces and can see neighbors leaving their homes bundled up like it was the Arctic circle and they were watching out for polar bears. LOL

It's a good distraction from the PCBs. All of our decorations are still up so it's a nice way to end the season with some weather that feels like Christmas.

Back to work.

First I'm sorry about the pack up of your lovely Christmas, but so excited for you for the coming year and new decorating layout!! :-D

LOL Say now... that is quite a trek of a move! Hope you enjoy it with less area to have to clean. LOL



Same here. I usually run my provider's live feed app on my tablet while I work and the first morning I tuned in to no Hallmark Christmas movies was so disappointing. I headed over to Amazon Prime where I had items saved to watch, but the lack of live feed made it palpable that the season was coming to an end publicly. :-(

I have amazon.com up on my computer every morning and I even miss when it would say "Black Friday deals starting soon" and stuff like that through the holidays. Now it's just plain!

 

[Edge612]

Yep!!
Going to be an exciting rivalry game tonight, too.

Enjoy it!

Well this is it last day of Christmas Holiday back to the mundane and predictable as from tomorrow ,,,but remember this if we didnt have those days then Christmas wouldnt be as special and anticipated ,,,,Roll on the "Ber" months but in mean time cherish the friends and family that make the other months bareable

Nice reminder Nash...have a good day!

Merry Sunday!
I am leaving for work shortly and I have no idea why I am so down hearted this morning. I can't seem to shake it even though I remind myself of everything positive. The boys are sad and don't want me to leave them today - which makes it worse! They must be feeling the same way about returning to school etc.
These feelings will subside as the day progresses though. The first day back to routine after Christmas is hard for all of us. It will get better. So much to look forward to and to be thankful for.

Have a good day everyone. View attachment 18159

Have a great Sunday HMG!

Good Sunday Morning MMC! Well I guess I had a little bit of the PCB'S finally last evening. I just felt a little bored though and maybe that's why I got them? It wasn't that bad though. Years ago I used to get them far worse. MMC helps a lot in really keeping those away. Plus to be honest (and please nobody throw things at me for saying this) but I actually feel ready to go back to work. I feel like that I've been off a month and I really do like where I work, the people I work with, etc. I'm not dreading it and I'm looking at it as exciting to begin a new year being at work basically every week for the next 50 weeks and how each week I go to work it's just a journey back to our favorite time of year. Time goes so fast that I don't even want to rush it because it goes so fast as it is that it's scary. I'm gonna watch the Jets today to see if we can win to get in the playoffs.
I hope you guys have a great SUNDAY as most of us go back to our routines tomorrow. Think about all the fun we've had and all the fun we'll have throughout the whole year here!

Have a good day Edge! And yes we are back into the swing of things tomorrow!

Happy Sunday Mmc

Happy Sunday MsRose!

Happy Sunday...hope you all have a good day. Not too much going on today..I need to go to the grocery store and catch up on folding laundry. Pretty quiet day!

 

[Iteachpercussion]

Last lazy day before back to school tomorrow. Luckily no school work to do today, I made sure everything was ready to go before I started Christmas break. Today's plan, watch my Cleveland Browns play, and probably lose, to the Steelers. Pick-up the house a bit, relax and make sure the kids are ready to go back tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

I once heard that just a spoon full of sugar makes everything better !

 

[Christmasstar]

Oh No I just remembered today is the last day for Christmas24 movie channel!!

I remember coming down the stairs on the first morning of the switch over and tuning in. It's a moment I have come to look forward to each year. Seeing the little Christmas24 logo was so exciting. Like I had opened a door to a Christmas world. I always look forward to that day so much - it sparks the season for me!

Anyway just 10 months till they switch back!

I know, netflicks has taken most all Christmas movies and shows off already.
Good thing I have lots of DVDS

We have plenty of DVDs here, too. It's great during the season, though, to flip through the channels and see all sorts of random Christmas broadcasts. But having a stash of DVDs means there's a dash of Christmas anytime you want. Think of the power!

That's me trying to keep above the PCBs. There is a bit of blue haze today. Tomorrow I'll be too busy to be bothered, and once the everyday routine takes hold, there will be other things to think about. It occurred to me that for Christmas week and New Year's week, I've had two workdays and five days off, instead of the usual way 'round! It'll be sweet when that time comes around again!

Hey everybody!!! So, it's Sunday, my son has headed off back home (3 hour drive) and please find attached a pic of my road into work; it has until Tuesday to sort itself out (that's when I need it!) I would be best suited to this weather if I were a duck!!!!!!!! According to the forecasts, it's due to keep going until at least Wednesday - maybe I'll buy a canoe!!!! Will keep the decorations up until tomorrow but will put everything away before heading back to work on Tuesday. It was fun while it lasted I'm now going to focus on small goals every month. For example, I have a 2 day first aid refresher course this week, then I'm stage managing for a drama festival in February and we'll see about March but it's good to have something to look forward to and to count with - you know what I mean??!! Catch you all later - have a lovely Sunday!!

We finally have the word SNOW in a forecast! We are expecting a dusting tonight and into tomorrow morning. This winter has been snowless and warm.
I LOVE snow so the lack thereof has been a major disappointment. That is the problem with living in southwestern Ohio. While we will have decent snow years, like the last 2, many years have little. However, this year has felt more like the year I lived in Georgia.
I need to move to the Northeast! Cooler summers, Snowier winters.
