Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Edge612]

We're now hearing that we could get a 6"+ snowstorm late Sunday into Monday. (After the Boston.com meteorologist publicly declared about a week ago that winter was definitely over! You never can be sure around here.) This afternoon it's in the low 60s (F) and raining, with possible thunderstorms and hail later. Crazy!

I remember you telling us about them declaring winter over. What happened??? Weather...

 

[Edge612]

Fingers crossed that they're wrong!
We were supposed to get 6 inches possibly yesterday into today, and we haven't had any stick.
Wishing you the same =]

They are predicting that for us now but I really don't see how it can stick much.

She's feeling better, I guess it was just one of those 24 hour bugs. She's still tired but she did go back to work today. Thank you for asking!

Welcome!

Well, he just doesn't get the lines that Santa does.
It must be depressing to always be number two.

Unfortunately the bunny is sometimes creepy too...

I believe that's the most diabolical looking Easter Bunny I've ever seen.

So just curious. Are good Friday and easter Monday holidays in the US??
It is here but shops, supermarkets, restaurants etc open and do sunday trading hours so they close early. Schools, Offices and banks are closed. Easter Sunday nothing opens. Everything is closed.

Growing up everything was closed on Easter, now just about everything is open in my neck of the woods. The malls, stores, fast food restaurants, etc.. are open on Easter. There is pretty much no such thing as Easter Monday, it is just a plain old regular Monday.
Good Friday most schools are closed, my town they are not. It is a very busy shopping day. I guess if you are not religious, it is just a regular day.

Happy St Patrick's Day, MMC!! It's also a special day for me as it is also the 14th birthday of my step-daughter. Have a merry green day everyone!!

Happy birthday to her!

I think on a whole St. Patricks Day in the U.S. has been turned into a "drunk" day. Kinda like Mardi Gras has for years now.

and Cinco de Mayo, New Years Eve... All nights I prefer to avoid driving. I just stay at home and happily drink my Coke Zero.

 

[xmas365]

I remember when clear Pepsi came out my plan was to stock up on it, drink it all day and night, because I assumed my mom would believe it to be water. There would be no more limiting my soda! It was the perfect plan, or so a 13 year old Ryan thought.

I heard this song the other day and immediately thought of the commercial.

 

[xmas365]

My brother just sent a text....

Why are there only 239 beans in Irish Bean Soup???

Answer:

Because one more bean would make it two farty!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Lol!

 

[xmas365]

On that note - it's lunch time!

Hope you didn't eat those beans.

Good for you! We feel the same way. We celebrate on our own at home.

You would think a meteorologist in New England would know better, it is New England after all. It has been known to snow in May.

A few weeks ago I was compelled to try one of those new hard root beers, I love root beer, so I thought what the heck. I got one sip down and, YUCK!!!!! I was disappointed, I looked forward to trying it but couldn't get past the alcohol flavor. It was my first sip of an alcoholic beverage since my first drink back in 2000. I will stick with my IBC Root Beer.

Good Night MMC! The transition from winter to spring comes this weekend (although we're going back to snow apparently)...

 

[xmas365]

Good evening and Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!!

We did the transition from corned beef to hams at work today, it was the easiest transition ever since we sold out of our corned beef. Now we have 10 days to sell 4 pallets worth of hams.
A quiet night at home for us, we already did our traditional corned beef dinner over the weekend, so it was grilled chicken salads tonight.

I wore my green to work today, of course I did it in my own style to get a laugh from people.
This was my shirt...

I got quite a few laughs.
It is Friday eve for me once again, I have my second weekend in a row off, this time for LC's 8th birthday. He turns 8 Sunday, but the party is Saturday. I can't believe my baby is almost 8!
I must head to get some slumber.
I hope you all had a fun and safe St. Patrick's Day.

Not an Irish song but it has bits of the Irish song "Darby Kelly" in it...

Goodnight, everyone!
