Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Festive Spirit]

Thanks for the thoughts & prayers! I do feel a bit better today. DH & DD had praise band practice last night for a couple of hours, so I was alone & watched a movie and relaxed. However, none of us slept last night because of storms moving through & DD had a cough! She ended up in bed with us, so it's hard to sleep with three adult-sized folks in a king sized bed...

I'm pressing on with adjusting my attitude. DH told me this morning that he hoped I had a better day today & DD told me that I was grouchy every morning, so I need to do something about that!

Don't be too hard on yourself - you're only human. You have the right attitude and working on making a change so that's the best you can do. Hope you are over this rough patch soon.

Stop it with the snow!!! I hope the heat mizer visits you soon & you can bbq this weekend. Enjoy the 3 day weekend!
Have a great day!

I know right! I am sick of myself always talking about the weather ( I've really fallen into the British stereotype haven't I)

Thanks! It's my birthday weekend! It's on Monday and it's a holiday !!

Good Thursday Morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve! If today goes as fast as the last 3 days have then we'll be facing our TGIF friend again shortly. It's chilly out here but well it's spring. We get some chill and we've had a real spring this year with some ups and downs but mild temps/cool temps. Haven't gone from bitter cold to warm humid weather. It's nice to have in between weather for a while. Anyway off to work I go and I hope you all have a great day.
Have a great Friday Eve!

Hope you are feeling better today!!!

Good morning all my Christmas loving friends !
we had a beautiful sunrise this morning. The house smells like fresh baked sourdough.
Penny is trying to get the milk out of my glass and then walking around my head so it is hard to type right now LOL. now she has curled up on my arm. I like mornings with her she is so cuddly.
Did a bunch of work reorganizing here at home. The basement area is becoming my cake workshop. No carpet down there and the space is no larger than a small bedroom so it is perfect for this. I will now be able to organize all my tools better and best of all will not have to put everything away at meal time anymore. (a real time saver). Told my son I just need an oven and a sink and I will be all set ! He just rolled his eyes and went back to reading.
I have plans for a new business and will tell you about it when I get it up and running if it works out. Will know after my new workshop gets inspected by the health department.
rffftttttttttt tvbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb...Penny ssays hi

well off to work time, have a fantastic day all !

Hello Penny!!!
Sounds like you have exciting times ahead. Good luck! Keep us posted. Have a great day!

Good Morning, Friends and Supporters of the Season!

Well, after two Milestone Days in a row, one might think today would be a breather.
But no.
One more shocking figure to present!

Days to the Season: 199
Days to Christmas Day: 241

And you read that first number right. We have started, as of today, a ONE HUNDREDS LEVEL SEASON COUNT SEQUENCE!
(Wow. Just how can we possibly be down in the 100's already??)


Quite nice here weather-wise yesterday and the predicted rain did not develope.
It's overcast here this morning with precipitation predicted for later today and into tonight.
We stand just over 69 degrees at this hour here in the capital city.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everybody!

So exciting to see the count to the season beginning with a 1! Thanks crown! Happy Friday Eve!

How exciting!! Fingers crossed!!! Pics please when available!

Happy Friday Eve!! Just work today and not too much else. It was cold out last night but supposed to warm up to the low 60's today. Hope you all have a great day!

Hope you get that warm up today! Have a great day!

 

[Holiday]

Yay! I'm on their mailing list, too. My mom used to order afghan kits from them, too.

I always enjoy looking through their catalogs. They have beautiful things!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

I didn't do much yesterday afternoon. Nancy made me plant a Sago Palm tree. Those things are really sticker-y!

We've been sort of tiptoeing around our manager this past week, after he announced his illness. He's seemed down (for obvious reasons), and it's uncomfortable. But yesterday was a good day, and today he's going golfing with some customers, so I'm hoping he has another good day. Please keep him in your prayers.

I hope y'all have a great day!

That would be so hard. Glad to hear he is going out & about today. Continued prayers for him!
No palm tree's around here! It might be sticker-y but I bet it's cool looking!
Have a great day Brad!

Happy Friday Eve, Holiday!

Hope you see some sunshine later today!

It's rainy and cold here, too. Highs in the 40's.
Fingers crossed it warms up tomorrow like they say it's going to.

Girl's Night sounds wonderful, have fun!! Mexican?

Actually, the sun is trying to pop out now. Thanks snowflake!!

I'm not sure if we are going to eat Mexican or just getting pizza at the tavern where we are meeting! I guess we'll decide that tonight!

I hope you get your warm up too! We are supposed to see 62 today! xx

Have a fabulous day my friend!

Happy Early Birthday!
Any plans to celebrate?

Thanks!
I'm not sure. I am thankful that it falls on the holiday Monday this year so it means both Mister F and the kids will be off. weather warnings are in effect for weekend so it will be low key but I am fine with that. We will most likely go out for lunch or dinner and there has to be my favourite thing at some point- CAKE! Hope they get me a good one LOL!

Oh I forgot to get wine.
