Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Holiday]

Good Thursday Morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve! Another gorgeous morning here (actually a little chilly). Feels good though. Love this time of year and not rushing to get to the real cold weather. Starting to think about the weekend a bit? I know holiday has been since Sunday night . I am trying to stay ahead of the work in my class so that I'm not doing much of it on the weekends. It's going to be a good and positive day today I feel it.
Have a great Thursday everyone!

Me?
Have a great day Edge! Happy Friday Eve!

Good evening,

Well the stress that has consumed me for the last 2 months is over, if you remember I had said a while back I had a major announcement to make. The time is now.
We have finally booked our family trip to Disney World!
I have spent hours upon hours going over every little detail of this trip for nearly 3 months now. I wasn't doing it only for the 4 of us, but my in laws too. Making sure I had everything lined up for 8 people. There are a few more loose ends to tie up, tickets to Universal and rental car, but basically it is just a matter of a few clicks on the computer now. It is such a huge relief to finally have this done. I honestly never thought it was going to be as stressful as it was.
I hope you all had a great day

Goodnight, everyone

I am so glad you can relax now, and enjoy your trip soon!

Good Thursday morning! One work day to go and then I have 4 days off. Once again I'll be going into work early, so many things to get done. It's cold this morning, barely 10°C (50°F). We slept with all the windows open last night, it got quite cold, just how I like it when I sleep. Hope everyone will have a great day!

Enjoy those four days my friend. A little warmer here today at 64, but I think we are past the higher temps for the seasons to come.

Good morning, MMC~
Merry Pines Day!
It's amazing how it was mid 80's and 100% humidity the other day, but Autumn weather has arrived in Wisco
My hoodies & sweaters are all set!
See you tonight =]
Hope you all have a blessed & cozy day!

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

I worked on the lawn mower yesterday, and I think it's ready to go again. I hope to get the grass cut this afternoon. My next door neighbor has a kind-of competition going with me. Every time, and I mean EVERY time, I cut my grass, he cuts his. This weekend I edged all the curbs & gutters...last night he was out edging. LOL! I guess we'll see who can mow their lawns the quickest today!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Enjoy the contest. I was hoping to get some yard work done today as well, but the good Lord decided for me and sent some rain. Not a problem though, we can use it.

Good Morning, Folks.
Some people chase Pokemon.
For us here at MMC, it's Milestones.
(And we just about have the next one caught!)

Days to the Season: 59
Days to Christmas Day: 101

And in the cross hairs of our sights, we see the ONE HUNDRED DAY CHRISTMAS DAY WINDOW, upon which we are closing fast.
In fact, capture is imminent tomorrow!
(Don't you just love ** MILESTONE DAYS **?)


The heat just keeps hanging on as the cooling is almost imperceptibly gradual.
But at least it's in the right direction, with comfortable temps not far off now.
Currently, we are starting this morning at 71 degrees in our part of MMC.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, Everyone.
And it's not too early to look forward to Weekend Eve tomorrow!

Morning to you. My weekend does not start until Sunday morning, but it does give me a good reason to stay up late for Monday night football on the radio. Take the good with the not-so-good I always say.

The more the merrier! This is a wonderful place! The weekend is in sight! I hope all of you have a great day!

You as well Frostyman. How is the ornament crafting coming along?

Great attitude Edge. Hopefully some of that will rub off on your Jets tonight.

Good morning MMC! Merry Friday Eve!! Woot!

It's a beautiful, chilly, sunny day! For the 1st time this season our house was cooler this morning than what our AC was set on! I noticed the volunteers who were working in the park this morning had flannel shirts/jackets on. There's a sign of the season! BUT we'll be back up to 85º tomorrow, & forecasted to stay in the 80's until Sept. 24th! Better soak up the heat while I can!

Everyone, have a fabulous day!

You know, for a "North Pole Resident" you sure seem to have a lot of warm weather... lol
Have fun Holiday and don't forget Jets and Bills tonight.

Happy Friday Eve!

Today we woke up to cool temps and a cloudy sky. There was no indication that it was supposed to rain. Lizzybeth grabbed up her umbrella just in case and I said that I would risk not taking mine because I have one at the office should I need one later on. My neighbor gave me a lift into the city this morning as her office building is right next to mine and we noticed that the ground was wet. Apparently the city experienced a heavy downpour only about 30 mins or so before I got in - so I missed it. YAY! The high is supposed to be only in the upper 70's.

London's second day at work was exciting as she prevented a couple who had been going to various stores with a huge suspicious backpack from stealing from her store. She tried calling me on her break to tell me all about it but I was in church and the phone was on vibrate. So as soon as she came through the door last night she couldn't wait to give me the details. I remember those days when working retail - UGH the absolute worst!

I've got to start looking for replacement earbuds as mine have stopped working. I'm not to upset after all I got them for 8.99 and they lasted two years so I feel like I got my monies worth. I borrowed a pair from London for today but I'll search Amazon today and place an order because I cannot ride the train everyday without my earbuds.

Everyone have a great day and stay blessed!

Do not know what it would be like to ride a train anywhere. Of course in a city that is just 6 miles by 5 miles I can almost walk to where I want to go... lol. However, since I am aging, a car or a bike usually will do.
Enjoy your day and let the blessings along with the rain shower you with happiness.

Hope the Mrs. can find time to rest for even a little bit today, a power nap or something. Have a blessed wedding weekend! Best wishes!

The anticipation and excitement are keeping the Mrs. awake. Hope you both have a great day!

Good luck with the wedding!!! I hope it turns out to be the perfect day that you guys have been dreaming of!!

I hope the Mrs gets some rest!!

Hope the Mrs. is able to get some sleep...she has a big day coming up, you know!
Have a great last day of work before your big day!!

What is the actual Big Day? Hoping it all goes smoothly, and wishing you both much happiness in your life together.

How exciting!! Have a blessed wedding and would love to see pics!

To you as well. I know the morning very well, but it is a rare occasion that my better half is stirring much before 10AM (she normally works 12-9). It does make for a very quiet morning.

Thanks, everyone!! She's hoping she'll be able to nap later today. Pre-wedding excitement/jitters. @MerryCarey our big day is Saturday (which also happens to be the first day of the double-double count, right @Crown 84?) I'll post what pics I can when I get them.

Good morning ~
Happy Thursday!
It's going to be a beautiful day, sunny with a high of 73 degrees. Typical day for me, I have a couple of errands to run and then I'll be working on my daily chores. I'll also begin decorating at some point, so excited about that
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!
Thoughts and prayers ♥

The day here is overcast, but that bodes well for daytime sleeping. Already got some chores done before I got on the 'puter, so I am good to go for today. I also began some minor decorating, with much more to come.
Take care and have a memorable day.

Good Morning MMC...I woke up thinking it was Friday..ugh! I just put some Christmas music on and I think I will need another cup of coffee. Just working today and not too much else. Hope you all have a great day!

I use to have those days so often when I was in the service. It's even worse when you dream about working and then wake up tired... lol
Enjoy your music, your coffee and your day!

Way to go London!
Sounds like it's your lucky day!
Have a great day!

85° isn't too bad, especially if the humidity is low.

A South Georgia blessing:

May your skeeters die a horrible death,
May your gnats be pestered to death by a thousand small flying bugs in their ears,
and may your humidity be ever low.

Ha ha ha! Oh Brad! Thanks for the blessing!
Hopefully the humidity will be low - that would be PERFECT!!

 

[Holiday]

It's 5 o'clock somewhere!!

I knew somebody would come through for me. Ha ha ha!

Glad you included football!

How nice of mother nature. It's going to stay hot right up until my next electric meter reading.

Lol - sorry made!
