Christmas Countdown - 2016

[e_xander]

Good for your parents!
I heard that about the next jackpot, too. That is over half a billion dollars, isn't it?
I saw an article this morning entitled "What to Do if You Win the Lottery." I wouldn't need to know. I think the shock would kill me! We'll probably buy a ticket, though, just to be in it.

I may get in on this too, most likely won't win, but like the saying goes, "You can't win if you don't play"

Yeah, it's finally high enough for me to give it a try. I don't have time to mess around with just a few million dollars.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It was a quiet evening yesterday. The kids went to their youth group at church, and Nancy & I vegged out on Netflix. Lulu even slept most of the evening. She finally destroyed the stuffed animals she got for Christmas, so she's bored again. LOL

I hope y'all have a great day!

Afternoon all,
Well I managed to take the tree down. I am glad to have the space back. I just need to take the garlands down and then oragnise everything into boxes to go up into the loft. My spare bedroom is a mess but at least I am making some progress. I feel fine about it all. I am no longer missing Christmas but instead anticipating the coming season and everything else in between.

Hope you all are having a good day so far.

Love the Grumpy Cat picture!
Happy to hear you're already on the journey toward next Christmas. I'm doing pretty well PCB-wise, but it will still be hard to take down the trees and the outdoor lights this weekend. I'll feel better when that's done.

good morning all !
Between work and studies I am keeping out of trouble so far. Taking a course on dealing with customer rage, really informative.

This day and age ... to need a course to deal with raging customers. It's best to be prepared, though. You never know who's going to walk through the door.

I didn't realize Easter was so early this year. I like an early Easter. Hope it all goes well for you! I noticed Ben Franklin getting out all their Easter things last night.

I like an early Easter too. I don't like when it's in late April!

Awe! What a sweetie! Letting your pet at the vet is very hard to do! Glad he is doing better!

Yes it is. And thanks!

 

[Edge612]

Thanks Edge!
I can't even imagine winning that much money. They're saying it's the largest jackpot in U.S. history!

Oh I can IMAGINE it HMG. But I think that's ALL I will ever be able to do is IMAGINE lol.

I may get in on this too, most likely won't win, but like the saying goes, "You can't win if you don't play"

I hope one of us at MMC wins the jackpot and buys every Christmas decoration available and decorates the entire world with them.

Ahh, I love nights like that.
Lulu is too cute!
Hope you have a great day, friend!

Good morning Festive. I'm glad you are starting to feel better - sorry to hear Mr. F & your youngest are not feeling well. Hope you are all back to 100% quickly!!

That food is really opening my appetite and I haven't had much of one the last few days. Enjoy your time and best wishes to your MIL!

Thanks Festive! Come on over! There's plenty!

Good Thursday Morning MMC! It's the 7th so we're now about a full week into January here and we still haven't had any snow. It's been cold this week but now is starting to be "less cold" which I'm glad about. A coworker of mine said yesterday how he can't believe this week is going "fast" (I was thinking how can it seem fast when the last 2 weeks we had like 2-3 day work weeks) but he then said before we know it December will be here again. I'm starting to wonder if other people are realizing how the best time of year is the BERS because I've had several people in my building reference September-December already in the first week of January! Maybe they're all coming over to our side?
Anyway, I do hope you all have a great Thursday or as we call it around MMC...Friday EVE!

I hope you persuade ALL your co-workers to our side! (good luck!) Have a good day!

Peanuts huh?

Yeah. Chump change.

Sorry you had a rough night at work. Hope tonight is better. Love your friends cause!! Have a great day!
