It's Monday MMC!!! And a good Monday Morning to ya!

I trust everyone had a great weekend. I enjoyed mine - productive and relaxing. Had brunch with a friend from church on Saturday and that was nice. She's been having a rough go with her new job but I think with some more time she'll get into the swing of things and she'll be fine. It can be so hard adjusting to new surroundings that even if what you do (she's a physical therapist) doesn't change certainly each practice/office operates differently and you have to learn how they do things. She wanted to quit our choir because as choir members we're expected to be at all church services and rehearsals to be a current member and she has been hit or miss at Wednesday & Sunday evening services. So I convinced her to take a step back and rejoin when she was ready.

Sunday was spent in church for most of the day and evening. After evening service we had a potluck farewell get together for a family who's moving to upstate NY. I made a pumpkin cheesecake which was a hit, so I'm glad about that. Once we got home London and I watched the Emmy's. We had a good laugh about how so many of the TV shows that are on either we didn't realize they were still actually on the air or that we've never seen. So when a show we were familiar with was nominated we cheered them on. Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Blackish, Modern Family and such. We of course had lots to say about what everybody was wearing and who looked great and who looked well....

On Wednesday I was picked to sing in a small ensemble at church this coming Sunday and I was so giddy you could have told me I won a million dollars and I couldn't have cared less. It's my first time being apart of one of the small ensembles and I always wonder what you had to do or who you had to "know" in the choir to get picked. Well, I was finally chosen and I think the song we're singing will showcase my abilities quite well. And it's on my birthday nonetheless!!! It's like my personal gift from above. I'll have to let you guys know how it goes.

Have a wonderful start to your week everyone. Stay blessed.

Happy Monday, Ladybugkisses~
Glad you had such a lovely weekend.
Congrats on being chosen to sing in the ensemble!
Happy early Birthday =)
Have a great start to your week.

Good Monday morning MMC! I have the day off and have errands to run and some chores to do around the house. It's still humid and warm enough that we had to turn on the AC last night. Loki got a little cold I think and was cuddling up to us all night. Have the best Monday everyone!

Enjoy your day off!
Awe - sweet little Loki!
Have a great day!

Happy Monday MMC! Today is the day before my vacation! Looking forward to some camping and hopefully cooler weather. I hope you all have an amazing week!

Have a fantastic vacation!!

Good Morning, New Weekers!

And would you believe that there will be yet another Milestone this week?
Yes, it's true! Details to follow.

Today's data:
Days to the Season: 55
Days to Christmas Day: 97

And that next marker, due before the week is out?
Well, it's the 3/4 point to Christmas Day 2016, and it's only SIX days off.
(Now that's just plain hard to believe!)


The humidity was back up again yesterday and it was not as comfortable as I had hoped it would be.
Rain is possible for the next couple of days and we stand at 76 rather cloudy degrees here currently in the capital city.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Guys!

Thanks crown! You have a Marvelous Monday too!

Well, before I get myself going for the day, I was seeing all those "adult" coloring books at Wal-Mart. Though some took me back to the "Head Shop" days of the late sixties, I decided to present a coloring page alternative, so here goes...

Good Monday Morning MMC! This week we will transition from summer to autumn. But the temps/weather will feel more like summer than autumn at least through the week. The weekend shows low 70s on Saturday and upper 60s on Sunday for highs! That would be much more autumnal. Hope that forecast sticks and it's a beautiful one but since it's only Monday it's too early to think about the weekend (right Holiday). Therefore, I'm going to get busy at work and do my thing.
Have a great Monday everyone!

Never too early!!
Have a great day! Hope you & Rollins had a fun weekend!

 

[Holiday]

Dogs think everything is for them though don't they? Case in point I left a cup I was drinking from on the floor (big mistake) and Rollins came over and started drinking from it uninvited on the weekend!

Too funny! He was thirsty...

 

[MerryCarey]

oh goodness Merry. I think of myself as having an adventurous palette but those flavours ? Sprouts? Ugh! No offence to anyone.

I never tried them---never wanted to!!---but I read about them in the news. I think they only did it for a few years (thank goodness).

 

[snowflake22]

Thanks again Snowflake ♥



I'm praying hard for the both of you. Please keep us posted {{{HUGS}}}

You're welcome, HmG <3

And thanks again for the prayers and hugs~will do.
I was able to schedule & get her in later this morning. Hope they can figure it out, and get her comfortable.

Good morning everyone, Happy Monday!
I'm just having my coffee and watching the local news. My husband and my oldest are off to work. I'm about to start another round of breakfast for my two youngest, they have classes today. We've had some heavy downpours on and off this morning, it's supposed to continue through out the day. I wanted to decorate outside but that might have to wait. I'm going to take a ride to Target at some point, other than that I'll be working on my daily chores. I'm going to make a pot of Italian Wedding Soup for dinner. I also picked up burgers at my butcher in case someone isn't in the mood for soup. That's about it for me. Oh I put out a dish of candy corn this weekend and I can't stop eating it!
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Gracie had a piece of candy corn this morning. Bribery to get her to come inside. She loves that stuff!
Your supper sounds delicious! Have a great day HMG!

LOL, I would think it was for me too!

Happy New Week!
It's a rainy day here, but that's kind of nice for a change. The area where I live is in a severe drought; it may be months before we're out of it. The office where I work is on the fourth (top) floor of a 100+-year-old clock factory (modernized, but with the brick walls left exposed---it has a lot of character), so I can see and hear the rain. Once everyone gets in the office, it won't be so cozy, though! Have a great Monday!

Enjoy your rainy day. Hope you can stay cozy!!!

 

[Holiday]

Good Morning MMC....merry Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Just work for me today and I am ready for some fall weather! My daughter is supposed to have a soccer game today at 4 but not sure if that is going to happen with this weather. It is supposed to rain on and off until the afternoon. Hope you all have a great day!

Stay dry!! Hope your daughter is able to get her game in. Have a great day!

 

[Holiday]

Thanks friend. Really do appreciate it.

You're welcome! Any time!

Thank you very much, Merry~

Good Morning, Holiday~
Happy Monday!
Hope you had a nice weekend!

We did, thanks! Had fun shopping at our favorite craft barn. I got a few more fall things. We celebrated my FIL's birthday last night. Watched some football. Had a bonfire. Can't believe it's Monday already.
I hope despite worrying about sweet Har, you were able to have a nice weekend too!

You're welcome, HmG <3

I was able to schedule & get her in later this morning. Hope they can figure it out, and get her comfortable.

So glad they were able to get her in today. Praying for an easy fix & a much more restful night tonight!
