It has been a busy week, friends. I'm ready to celebrate and enjoy the first weekend of December!

I'm teaching again today, but at Immaculata, which is only about five minutes from my house. I like the short drive. My first group of students were awesome. Here's hoping the next two are just as good! Being in an Art class can be both fun and challenging. We'll see how the afternoon goes.

I said I have been busy, right? Yesterday we had our first volleyball tournament of the season. The girls didn't win a game, but they did great! They played hard and showed plenty of perseverance. If anything, they will improve more than any other team we play against. It's going to be a fun year! Also, it is nice to get paid to coach volleyball, as all their games are played tournament style during the day!

This weekend is going to be exciting! We are having our annual Festive Sweater and Fondue Gift Exchange with 15 of our closest friends. I look forward to this every year. Perhaps it's for the gifts? Perhaps it's for the food? Perhaps it is for the good times? Combined, they are great... but I really think I enjoy playing the music trivia game I create every year. This year there will be six categories, two of which are Christmas themed, and the rest are fairly interesting. It's fun to see everyones face when they are completely stumped on a song. I think that may happen a couple times tomorrow night! It certainly makes the few hours I have spent creating, planning, and organizing the game all worth it!

As for tonight, I believe that Kim and I will take it easy. We watched Miracle on 34th Street last night... The Edmund Gwenn version. It was excellent. As per usual, I fell asleep with about 15 minutes left in the movie. Oops!

Well, friends, my day workday is half complete. I hope you're enjoying your day as well as I am. The weekend will arrive so soon! Until then, keep Christmas in your thoughts, and Merry Christmas!

Sounds like such a fun weekend! Hope you all enjoyed and had a great time!

I know that it is roughly three weeks until Christmas, but I have a small dilemma that maybe someone here can help with. It seems just like yesterday, we started the Ber months with September, and now it is already December. I would like to know the name of the person who put the Ber months on fast forward!!

If you find out please let me know…

Merry Evening
We have been to a Christmas Market in Røros this weekend
2,5 hour drive over the Mountain.
Love it there!
I'm so exhausted though, have to go to bed soon...
But the time is only 6:40PM so I guess I have to wait a bit longer

Some photos:

Hope YOU have a great day

Absolutely gorgeous pictures! Thanks for sharing! Hope you're having a great day!!

Good evening,

An extremely busy day at work today, we could not keep up with customer traffic. My Bengals finally won today, probably a little late to get back into the playoff race, but maybe build confidence for next year.
Work tomorrow, hoping it's quick.

Goodnight, everyone

Had to watch your Bengals at the hospital with my sister today

Good Monday morning! Worked all weekend and it sure was busy. One more weekend to work before Christmas (the 17-18). Still feeling under the weather, so David is bringing out and putting up decorations each day. He got lights on the tree and wreaths up. I hope that tomorrow on my day off I'm able to finish decorating the tree. Hope everyone will have a wonderful day!

We had a sticking snow today!!!! Soooo pretty! Forecast for NEXT week is 6-16 inches ( Subject to change)

Beats last December doesn't it? Hope you don't get THAT much snow lol...but might be fun?

Morning! Personally I feel like I have about 10 days of somewhat sanity before things go nuts. Why? In 10 days we have my work Christmas party, then pick up my bro at airport that weekend at 5AM, then my final exam a couple days later after work (makes for a long day), then a busy couple of days at work before finally off for Christmas (Fri Dec 23 - Mon Dec 26). Yeah...work a few days, then 4 more days off for New Years weekend. Blink and it's 2017. Scare you? Scares me...so that's why this week and these next 10 days slowwwwwwwwww please.

** CHRISTMAS SEASON 2016 DAY 23 **


Good Morning, Friends.
Rise, shine and start the first full week of December --- the month of Christmas!

And our single, solitary count number soldiers on alone:
Days to Christmas Day: 20 (Now UNDER 3 weeks remain!)
(We just keep getting closer.....and closer......and.....)


Chilly yesterday but still OK. Some evening rain wetted things down a bit.
Today should be clear with highs in the low 60's. Not bad for December here in North Carolina.
Currently, we have 45 sunny degrees, accompanied by singing birds here in the central part of the state.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Everybody!
(And hey. Any more photos for the Blossoms thread? Still plenty of time to spread some more festive Christmas cheer, you know. Some of the photos people have posted of their family Christmas trees in the Countdown thread would look great there, too!)

Good morning again MMC! "Merry" Monday!! So I was up from 2:30-5:30 am...watched Grandpa For Christmas, & the start of The Night Before The Night Before Christmas - and then when my alarm went off this morning, I could have slept all day! Go figure! It's so dark & dreary outside - sure wish it would snow some more. Sure looks like it could! xx

So the plan for Mom is that she will go "swing bed" today or tomorrow. Which means she will stay in the same room at the hospital, but only receive therapy - no nursing care. It's a way to get her extra therapy without being admitted to the nursing home. My brother/sil come home from Massachusetts on Wednesday for my nephews wedding, so hopefully they can help out a little since they will be staying at her house anyway. It's doubtful that she will make it to the wedding, but we'll see! xx

Everyone, have a Marvelous Monday!!!

Love your trees Merry – so pretty!!!

Thank you ... and thanks to everyone who commented!
Our trees don't change much from year to year, but they are welcomed and appreciated while they're up.
