Christmas Countdown - 2016

[HomemakinGirl]

Happy Monday MMC! I'm ready for another week of training and general awesomeness. I spent the late hours of the weekend finishing a couple of Christmas playlists I want to post to my mixcloud page in July...well almost finished...there may be a couple of tweaks before then. Other than that, just going to enjoy the week. I think we're supposed to have nice weather which is a welcome change. I like my seasons right on time. Last year we skipped spring, went right into summer and then fall didn't begin till end of October. I'm hoping this year heat and snow miser keep it classy and I get my seasons.

Happy Monday FKB!
I hope you have a nice day and a great week!

Good Morning, New Weekers.

Monday.
What a sad sound.
Or is it??

Days to the Season: 174
Days to Christmas Day: 216

Really not so sad when you consider that, as of the DAY AFTER TOMORROW, we will be down to TWO WEEKS until the 200-day Christmas Day Milestone Marker and the commencement of a double-100's count.
(My! My!)


Rain late yesterday. About a 40 percent chance of more today.
Our current temp? Well, it's 55.5 here in the capital city under overcast skies.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Everyone!
Keep a Christmas song on you lips and may the spirit of the Season be with you today and always.

Thank you Crown!
Hope you have a great day!

Happy Monday everyone!!

Happy Monday NcGunny!

Happy New Week!

Good morning MerryCarey!
Merry Monday!
I hope you have a nice day!

Good Monday morning all my wonderful Christmas loving friends !

Had a great day with family and friends yesterday out at camp David.

Good morning Star!
Happy Monday!
Great pictures, glad you had a great time!
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hope everyone will have a great day. It will be +28°C today...and of course I am working. But not until 1pm, so I enjoyed a long walk at the park with Loki this morning and now I have all windows and doors open and am relaxing at home. Felt sooooo good to take in all that sun. To my fellow Canadians, happy Victoria Day (or Patriots Day as we call it here in Québec). I had my long weekend off two weeks ago but a lot of us Canucks will enjoy a great day off today I'm sure.

Merry Monday Martine!
Enjoy the beautiful weather and have a wonderful day!

Good morning everyone!
Happy Monday!
It's going to be cloudy today with a chance of showers or thunderstorms, a high of 70 degrees. I'm heading out in a little bit, I'm going to Target to pick up a few things. I have to make a couple of other stops while I'm out. Back home afterward to work on some chores around the house. Typical day. My husband didn't get very far on the gazebo yesterday. Not sure how long it will take him at this pace. He wanted to open the hot tub yesterday and ran in to a problem which ate up most of the day. Nothing seems to be going smoothly around here lately. Good thing my husband is so handy. Anyway, hope everyone had a nice weekend. Wishing everyone a great day!!!

Good morning all. Michelle and I had a relaxing time watching softball all weekend. I did manage to get the yard mowed between games and some laundry done. It's gonna be hot this week.
86F (30C) today and near 90F (32C) the rest of the week.
I hope you all have a blessed week!

Stay safe and dry today, HmG!
Hope your errands go well.
Sorry that things haven't been going smoothly around the house, lately. Your luck is bound to change! Bless your husband for his hard work, it's great that he's so handy.
Hope you have a fabulous day!

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

What a busy weekend we had! I got up at daylight Saturday and did the work that had to be done, then I went to Jim's shop to work on the Camaro...hey, that's work, too LOL!

Elizabeth's ballet & jazz recital was Saturday night, and she was beautiful! What a wonderful performance! After it was all over and we went out to eat, I got home at midnight.

Then last night both kids performed with their school chorus at a church in a nearby town. It was great, but it was Jacob's (and the other seniors') last performance with the group, so it was a little sad, too.

Anyway, I'm almost back to normal around here. Our IT department decided to upgrade my computer Friday afternoon, and I'm still paying for that LOL.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Ahh yeah I remember "the lasts" of being in school...last lunch break...last class...it is kind of sad. But good luck to him!

It sounds like you had a productive & enjoyable weekend!
I bet Jacob & Elizabeth's performances were fabulous!
Hope you get your computer squared away soon =]
Have a wonderful day, and a great week!

Good morning Frosty. I'm glad your weather is turning for the better.

What is a mix cloud page?
I've never heard of that.

Mixcloud is sort of like SoundCloud. Instead of an automated playlist that's generated based on listening preferences, users upload music to their page. There's a link to mine in my signature, if you have Facebook you can log in without creating an account. If you don't have Facebook it only takes a few seconds to create an account. You may not even need an account to listen to my page, I've never tested it. If you aren't at a pc you can install an app on your phone or tablet.

Sounds like a wonderful weekend Brad. Congrats on all the accomplishments of your kiddos. I'd love to hear more about that Camaro.
Have a blessed week and a Merry Monday!

I was able to listen without logging in. Cool stuff.
Looking for the app now. Thanks!!!

I'm certain everyone else around here thinks it's all in my imagination, since we've been working on it for three years with little headway LOL.

In high school I had a 1977 Camaro, and I loved it. A few years ago, my brother (a mechanic) found one rusting away and brought it in to his shop to start restoring it. Since then, we've bought two more cars, trying to make one out of three. We had an awesome engine built, then sold it to a guy who was willing to pay a lot for it. With that money, we're building another engine AND buying new interior parts.

It's taking forever, but sometimes it's the journey together that matters...I hope!
