Good Thursday Morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve! Even more importantly Happy 1 week till the BERS begin. Rollins got up earlier this morning so as I was trying to get my stuff done before taking him out etc. he interrupted me and I had to take care of him before I could continue. Just catching up on a few things at work today and tomorrow before next week when it's my busy week. Went to the Chinese buffet last evening which was delicious. Starting to think about Friday, the weekend, and September...but first things first...today!
Have a great Thursday and Friday Eve everyone!

Good morning MMC! Merry Friday Eve! Merry Rudolph Day!!! -reindeer-

@made582 hope you all stayed safe in the tornado's/storms last night!

We had a little rain & rumbling this morning - and a beautiful rainbow. Jim was just letting Gracie outside when she heard the 1st rumble. Straight to the basement she went! She came back up when she heard me get the turkey out for her medicine so I shut the basement door. She wasn't very happy! I had to carry her outside, put her leash on & drag her to the middle of the yard & she finally went potty. That poor girl is so terrified of storms! When I left for work she was happy under her table in the basement! ;)

Everyone, have a wonderful day! FOUR months til Christmas!!! :D

Lulu is the same way about thunder. She hides and shivers until it passes.

That's part of the package, m'boy, and it won't be the last time! :)
But marrying the right one is the best thing in life. I speak from happy experience!

I know. So much better this time around. I give her grief for taking me with her, but it's a wonderful ride!!

Good Morning, Post-Milestone People/Next Milestone Searchers!

Yes, my Friends. There is always another Milestone Marker just down the road. The only question is, just how far off does it lurk?
And that's what this thread is all about. Keeping you informed of what's ahead.

Days to the Season: 80
Days to Christmas Day: 122

And just what is ahead?
Well, now. Do you think you can handle it?
Just look at that second number. It informs us in no uncertain terms that the 100-day Christmas Day Window is precisely THREE WEEKS FROM TOMORROW, after which BOTH of our counts will be in DOUBLE DIGITS.
A double-double, so to speak.
Double the excitement - double the fun.
(WOW. This is really starting to get interesting!)


Another pretty nice day here yesterday but the heat will start to build again today, and by tomorrow we are told it will be back in the mid 90's.
(Oh, well. After all, it is still August.)
Currently, we record 69 degrees here.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Guys.
And it will be Weekend Eve again before you know it.
(Like, tomorrow!)

Double digits are so close! Very exciting! Have a great day crown!

Happy Thursday MMC! My old friend humidity has returned with a vengeance! I'm kinda glad he stopped by because I was one more fall like day from going on a pre-mature pumpkin spice beer binge. Now it's back to the end of summer frame of mind. :p

Too funny! :) Have a great day FKB!
 
Good morning everyone!

It's getting closer till the weekend! I for one cannot wait. I almost called out "sick" this morning just so that I could sleep a little longer but my Christian conscience got to me and I reluctantly got out of bed. Just seems like I hardly ever get to sleep in just a little. Even on the weekends I'm up and going, going, going. This Saturday I've got a medcheck appt for Lizzybeth at 8:45am. Was I insane when making that appointment??? LOL Then one more final meeting to finalize things for London's schedule for college and groceries. Then we'll end our day with a visit to our state fair. Going opening weekend is always the best! Sunday is the first choir rehearsal of the season so that will be fun. We take the summer off simply because folks are away on vacations and trips that it's just easier to take a break then have a different size choir each week. So I'm excited as this will be my 2nd year - yep that's right I'm now considered a seasoned vet. hahaha My voice however is still a work in progress.

What's everyone got planned this weekend?

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

I worked on my part-time business until dark yesterday, and I'll have to do that today and tomorrow, maybe even some on Saturday. But, it's better than not having work to do, eh?

One of Jacob's classes is requiring him to go to an unscheduled 8am study hall, so he's been leaving the house before I do. Now that's unusual! Even more interesting, Nancy gets up to make him a cup of coffee in a tumbler for the drive. She's never offered to make my morning coffee! ;)

I hope y'all have a great day! :D

Oh yeah. It's going to be very interesting. But one thing I can say even till last Christmas when he was turning 11 Nitro loved Christmas morning. He always got more presents than we did! He always got excited Christmas morning. I look forward to doing that with Rollins starting this year.

Lol!! I am!!

Thanks!! We are all okay here. It was pretty creepy out there. There was a weak tornado that came out along I 70 on the east side at one point but it lifted before it got here. You could see the trees shifting directions though as it passed over head.

Sounds creepy! The sky looked threatening in the pics our friend was sending! Lets hope for a calmer night tonight! xx

I remember we had a toy collie when I was growing up and if you took a gift, held it in front of her and told her it was her gift, it would be opened in the morning. Only that one, it was so cool (especially if it was really mine).
Here is a cool Santa take off image I found...
