Christmas Countdown - 2016

LOL! Yep, mine is one of them! But there is a lot of behind the scenes things that goes on that the customers don't know about! (not that their gripe should be taken out on the customers...) But they like to cut routes & send the drivers out with HUGE days, etc. Just a lot of management BS that ticks them off!

Those huge loads still go back to the 89/90 strike.

View attachment 26084 Good night MMC....I just got done watching November Christmas...such a great movie! Hope you all sleep well!

Good morning SFM! Love that picture! November Christmas is such a great movie. I just sent it to my friend who doesn't get the Hallmark Channel as a CIJ present. She got it yesterday! Can't wait for her to get a chance to watch it!
Have a great day!

Ice cream supper sounds really good.

It was!!!

Tip: To ease brain freeze, put your tongue against the roof of your mouth. It warms the nerves that are overstimulated by the cold.

And breathe in from your mouth and out thru your nose. It helps too.

I do believe we have a couple expert ice cream eaters on this site!! Thanks for the tips!

Good evening,

Another fun day, we went and saw "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows" today. It was a fun movie, we will probably pick it up when it comes out on Blu ray. We went to a car show tonight, but found out it was canceled due to the thunderstorms that never materialized. We will try it again next Thursday night.
My sister is driving up from North Carolina tomorrow, so we will get to spend time with her and my niece and nephew for a week and a half. It has been almost two years since we have seen my sister, and a few years longer for her kids.

Winding down watching the '80's classic "The Great Outdoors" now, whenever I watch a John Candy movie, I realize how much I miss him.

I hope you all had a great day.
Goodnight, everyone

Sounds like a fun day! Have a nice time visiting with your sister, niece & nephew! Enjoy your day!

Good morning all my Christmas loving friends !


It rained here !! We so badly needed it, going to get more this afternoon, hopefully.
I am off today but stuck working all weekend. They hire teenagers for weekends then let them have so much time off us regular day shift folks end up working instead. I think it is time we all stood up and said no !

My new counter top for my cake room arrives today , so excited. once that is in I will have a really great work area.. After that need the sink installed and I will be ready for health inspector. If I get the green light from them I will be open for business again.

Hope you all have a fantastic day !!

Enjoy your day off! Sorry you have to work the weekend! Hope the time at work goes quick for you!
YAY! For the new countertop!! Hope you love it!
Have a great day CS!

Good Morning, Weekend Anticipators.
Well, the anticipation will not go on much longer.

Now, the anticipation of Christmas Season 2016 may be more extended but its arrival may be much closer than you might think!

Days to the Season: 128
Days to Christmas Day: 170

In fact, you will note that in just FOUR WEEKS from today, we will pass through the 100-day Window and into a DOUBLE DIGIT count.
But before that, in less than a week now, we will enter the LAST third of our Season count!
(Ah! The anticipation!)


Yet another rainy afternoon here yesterday with another severe thunderstorm warning that thankfully did not play out.
With lots of humidity around today and a predicted high well into the 90's, it likely will not be pleasant one.
Currently, we are at 74 degrees here in central NC.


Have a Fantastically Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And prepare yourselves for a grrrrrrrreat Weekend!

Thanks crown! Sounds toasty in your neck of the woods!! Stay cool & have a grrrrrrrreat weekend yourself!

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

We've been having a great time here in the mountains! The temperatures have been wonderful. We went to the top of a local mountain around 2pm, and it was in the 60's. Nice! We spent the day on Fontana Lake on a pontoon boat Wednesday, which was a super time!

Coming home tomorrow. I hope y'all have a great day!

Sounds like a wonderful vacation!!! Enjoy today & we don't want to talk about tomorrow yet....but have a safe trip home!

 

[Holiday]

Happy Friday...we made it and I am on vacation next week! We don't have too much planned, we will probably go to the beach and my MIL's pool. Just working today and praying for those poor police officers in Dallas and their families. Hope you all have a great day!

How fun to have next week off!! Sounds like a relaxing week! Enjoy! Have a Happy Friday!
And yes, so sad about Dallas. And scary!

just posted the CIJ HSN schedule for next week.

Good Friday Morning MMC! TGIF! I am off Monday for my mom's birthday so that makes it a 3 day weekend for me. Last weekend was more busy with the holiday so maybe this weekend will be a little more relaxed (although I still find I enjoy being busy more). What is everyone's plans for this summer weekend?
Have a great Friday everyone!!!

Happy Birthday to your Mom!! Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!

I do believe we have a couple expert ice cream eaters on this site!! Thanks for the tips!

I do like ice cream ... but I got the tip from The Straight Dope!
One way to avoid brain freeze in the first place is SLOW DOWN! That big, wolf-sized bite will bite you back. (Not always easy to do, though!)

 

[Holiday]

Thanks! I know that no matter what it's important to spend time and talk to the dog a lot when you get them. Teach them etc...

I think there are days I talk to Gracie more than I do my hubby!

Hello everyone. I hope you all have a great Friday.

Prayers for my neighbor's to the south in Texas, including my friend @Christmas-A-Holic!

Good morning Ryan!!! Hope you have a great Friday too!

Cooler, gray, and damp today, the reverse of yesterday.
SO glad it's Friday. Day 18 of laryngitis, and still awful low on energy, so I'm hoping for some extra sleep this weekend. I have a checkup next week, so I can ask if there's anything more I can do to get rid of this.
