Merry Saturday,
I have been up since 6am :confused: Yes really. On a Saturday :rolleyes:

The good news is we have a free day today! No errands, no DIY, no viewings ! I can't remember the last Saturday we had just to do nothing and I need it!

Today is the FA Cup Final - Manchester United vs Crystal Palace. A VERY big deal here. Football mad country as you already know. We stocked up on some delicious snacks yesterday so we don't have to face the mob at the supermarkets today as everyone organises for the game.

The boys are excited. They are making a banner in a bit.

Maybe some of you will know which team we will be rooting for ;);)

Wishing you all an easy going Saturday.

Yay for football today! I have some friends here who are ManU fans. I don't know who you are rooting for but I hope they win whoever they are!! Enjoy the complete relaxation. :) You deserve it!

Good Saturday Morning MMC! I hope Crown is back today. I slept ok but not great. Last couple of mornings since everything happened I've woken up an hour earlier than I normally do. Not saying that's the reason but maybe my brain is thinking too much and won't let myself sleep as much as I normally do? Hasn't been that bad though as I've slept close to normal mostly. Anyway, I think the whole keeping busy thing has been better for me than sitting around doing nothing. I'm not really wired that way anyway to sit around and do nothing even when life is 100% perfect. Pizza was good last night!
Have a great Saturday everyone!

I hope you're able to get your sleep back to normal soon-that's never fun! I've slept an hour less per night this week than normal. It's no fun.

I hope today is a great day!

Sounds wonderful snowflake! Very rainy and a bit chilly here for the morning. I hope you enjoy your errands for the new house and your lunch date! Sounds perfect!
 
Merry Morning, MMC! A rainy one here, but it's calming as I relax this morning.

I am enjoying some wonderful rest here before leaving with my husband for a friend of his' wedding! We will drive this afternoon and drive back tonight since I have to work tomorrow. I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing day ahead. A very happy Saturday to all!

We've had one of the top 10 rainiest May months in history here! I don't mind it really though. Rain is relaxing and refreshing. I do love some good sun in the fall and spring though-next week starts the heat. Just means we're one step closer to CIJ though!

Glad you're enjoying it, then!
I agree with the relaxing & refreshing aspect of rain, it's like a renewal at times, too.
We had sunshine & heat 95% of the year in Vegas, and I prayed for rain & monsoon season there. I really missed Wisco weather.
Any type of the same weather for too long grates on me, I like a little bit of everything.
A good thunderstorm is quite amazing!

Bring on CIJ!
 
Good Morning, Good Morning, My Friends!

Back to the board.
And what a shock!

Days to the Season: 176
Days to Christmas Day: 218

And an even bigger shock:
The 200-day Christmas Day Milestone Marker is barely over 2 1/2 weeks away, after which point, BOTH of our Milestones will be in the 100's, which in turn means an ever-increasing acceleration towards Christmas and its glorious Season. How exciting!
See. It pays to be away. (Or does it??)


Thanks much for pinch-hitting, Edge.
I know it was tough loosing Nitro. We have lost dogs too. No fun. Hurts deeply for a while. They really do become part of you and a just little bit of you dies when they do.


Pretty good weather for our trip to Florida. Some rain but it was not overly intrusive. The humidity was higher down there but again, not too bad for May.
Today has started here at a wet 64 degrees after an overnight rain.


Have a Sensational Saturday.
And it's good to be home to Raleigh -- and to MMC!

Thanks Crown! I appreciate you being back and your understanding how it is to lose a dog!
