Christmas Countdown - 2016

[CGYager]

Good morning my MMC friends!!! Hope your week is off to a good start!!!

Sure doesn't feel like I had a longer weekend. LOL!!! I'll be heading back to the lake after work to do some cleaning - just didn't feel like doing it on our Sunday! Then later this week since it's supposed to be nearly 80º we'll go out there & blow out the water lines. So sad!!!

Hope you are all having a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Afternoon Holiday. I had a four day weekend and it did not seem to be much different than the normal two. Being busy kind of does that.
Have a fantastic final October day.

Anyone heard from Snowflake22 today...Its not like her not too post

I was just thinking that Prancer!! I just went back through my posts to see if I missed her.

I messaged her and said you guys were missing her and she said to tell you hi and that she missed you too!! She's slammed at work and doesn't know when she'll be able to get back.

(They have lost several people and she's basically doing everything now)

[MerryCarey]

Happy Halloween! Candy should be on sale tomorrow.

... for those of you who don't have massive amounts of leftover candy!

 

[Bradmac]

Wow! Congrats to Bernie and all involved!

Congrats!

Woohoo!!! Congrats to Bernie!!!! That is awesome!!!

Thanks, everyone! And, as MerryCarey pointed out, there were several people involved, especially our current mayor. I asked him to take my place as mayor not only because he's a retired army colonel, but because he's one of the smartest men I know. And we asked him to make the "commercial" because he's also the retired president of a well-respected Georgia Arts college, and he had the equipment and the experience needed to produce an awesome recording for the store.

My hat's off to Mayor Johnson, too!

Thanks, made! I will be tired tomorrow. Hope your night is great, too!

It's going to be sunny with a high of 54 degrees, nice trick or treating weather. Maggie has a well visit appointment with our new veterinarian this morning. No other plans afterward, I'll be in for the rest of the day. Looking forward to handing candy out!
I hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning MMC members and Happy Halloween. Nice and quiet this morning and time to get a few things accomplished, along with some study time before the day really gets rolling. I hope everyone has a safe and memorable Halloween and that the weather cooperates for all those little Trick or Treaters out and about. Enjoy this, the last day of October.

Good Eve-eh-ning Folks. And velcome to my lab-or-atory! Bwaaaahahaha!!

(Well, it's really morning and I don't really have a laboratory but it sounded so Halloweenesque, I just couldn't resist.)

But there ARE a couple of things out there this morning to be frightened about. Things that go "bump" in the night (or day).
And the first scary thing is that there is a missing count number!
Days to the Season: 13 (UNDER TWO WEEKS LEFT!!)
Days to Christmas Day: 55 (UNDER 8 weeks remain!)

Wait. Didn't we have THREE counts yesterday? What happened to the first one??
Well, there is a good explanation. That first one is now completed and behind us. It is HALLOWEEN!
Therefore,

The second scary thing is our remaining count. Just look how close we are now to SINGLE DIGITS to the start of Christmas Season 2016!
(It just doesn't seem possible, Guys. It's.....it's......downright terrifying!)


Great weather for the trip to the coast. Moderate temps with no precipitation at all. We confirmed no hurricane damage and got the cottage winterized.
(And thus another rental season ends. The cycle will start back again in April for Rental Season 2017.)
We show 60 degrees here right now, with nice weather predicted for the balance of the week.


Now, before I forget, an Emerald City sized THANKS! to our own Wizard of Edge for safely seeing to it that we did not miss a count day yesterday.
(I hereby bestow upon him a testimonial!)


Have a Marvelous Monday and a Hilariously Happy Halloween, Everyone!

Glad to hear all is well at the cottage!! Happy Halloween Crown!

Good Monday Morning MMC! More importantly Happy Halloween to everyone! I know Christmas is #1 around this site but it's nice that there's a bunch of people who are part of the hardcore Halloween fan group. It's a beautiful morning here and I saw some kids dressed up for Halloween walking to work. Gotta love it. Lots of candy and goodies brought in to work today. Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Fun Halloween!

Hope you are having a spooktacular Halloween!!!!

Happy Halloween, Christmas friends!

I think I mentioned that Bernie had entered a contest a couple months ago, creating a "commercial" that explained why his business was improved by selling Hunt Bros. Pizzas. The prize was a new, cool-looking pizza assembly station, including a refrigerated cabinet to store & access the pizza toppings. Anyway, he got the call late last week that an executive from Hunt Bros. Pizza was coming to the store to announce the winner. They didn't say that Bernie had won, but why would they go to his store to announce the winner if it wasn't him? We're supposed to be there at 10:30 this morning for the announcement, and the newspaper is coming, too. Bernie is so excited! We worked all afternoon yesterday, cleaning and straightening up the store. Good luck to Bernie!

I'll let y'all know the results after lunch! I hope y'all have a great day!

That is so awesome!! I'm still trying to catch up, but from the posts I'm reading I assume Bernie is the BIG winner!!!! How exciting!!!

Happy Halloween everyone!! I have yet to see any costumes from the students or professors here at work. Once I do, I'll relay them to you all. All you Halloween fanatics enjoy your day! Next stop, Thanksgiving. Almost the best day of the year (It's one of the top 3 for me). It's the day we give thanks for everything we have and it's the day the rest of the world catches up to us to celebrate the Christmas season. But let's not rush things. Enjoy Halloween as long as possible and then we can anticipate Thanksgiving. Have a great day everyone!!

Happy Halloween e-xander! I agree time can slow down just a little! Hope you're having a great day!

 

[Holiday]

Happy Halloween, MMC!!!! May your day be full of ghosts and goblins!!

Happy Halloween made!!

Good morning.

Happy Halloween!!! I hope you all have a spooky and fun day!

Happy "spooky" Halloween Ryan!!!

Happy Halloween! High of 87 here, bleh. My son might have to go trick-or-treating as a handy man instead of a care bear, but that's ok!

Hope your son has a great time!! Crazy weather!

Good morning, everyone!

Happy Halloween! I couldn't quite think of a costume last night, so I put on a bunch of brownish clothes and went as a bulletin board. I have a bunch of sticky notes and 10 different coloured sharpies that students can use to write notes and stick them on me. Not a great idea, but it's all right. I have so many ideas for costumes, I just never act upon them. If only I wasn't so lazy... I guess all my effort skips Halloween and goes right into Christmas!

It's a chilly morning here in Ottawa. Temperatures are about 2c/-2c. Brrr! Still, it actually feels comfortable to me, at least. Temperatures are going too be around freezing tonight, too. I hope the trick-or-treaters dress warm! As for the next rest of the week, we are suppose to reach double digits/upper 40s tomorrow or Wednesday, and then we're back down to comfortable/seasonal single digits.

Kim and I did some nice Christmas Blossoms-seeing on Saturday. I found a few Winter Wonderlands. I did not quite have the time to share everything on the weekend - we were relatively busy - but I will do my best to post them in the next couple days.

Well, I hope everyone is ready for a fun and safe Halloween! Kim and I will be giving out some candy to the neighbourhood kids tonight. I also have hockey at 11pm. I really hope I can take a nap sometime after going to the gym tonight, too. Busy, busy, busy!

Have a great Monday, everyone! Enjoy Halloween, and remember, when we wake up tomorrow morning, it will be a new month!!!

Your costume sound very unique! Happy Halloween!
