Christmas Countdown - 2017

[CGYager]

Merry Friday! Last day at this off site assignment. I'll be happy to go back to work but it also means I won't have nearly as much time to sign in and read all of your posts as I'll be back catching up on my actual job. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Morning Frosty. You situation reminds me of my service days and all the temporary assignments I wound up getting. Some people really liked it, but my answer was always the same... "If I wanted to leave, I would not have unpacked."
Have a great last day in March and an even better start to April...

So happy to be part of this neighborhood!

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?

Have a safe trip & a great time on the coast! Hope your cottage faired well this winter!!!

Way to go "Mrs. Rogers"!!!

Good Morning, MMC Residents.

And is there a better neighborhood to live in when it comes to things Christmas?
I can't think of one. How about you?
No?
(That's what I thought.)

And to keep this neighborhood running smoothly, we need our daily dose of the count numbers.
Thus:
Days to the Season: 227
Days to Christmas Day: 269

Also important are our Milestone markers.
Next up -- the 1/3 point to Christmas Day 2017, only 26 days up the road.
And the following day? The 200-day Season Window, now UNDER four weeks off.
Yep. Back-to-Back Milestones. Found here at MMC and nowhere else on the web!

Cooler yesterday, but still into the upper 60's which is not bad at all for late March. Today should be a bit warmer but it is coming with lots of rain this morning, which hopefully will not hinder our trip to the coast this afternoon.
The weekend itself is supposed to be dry with highs in the 70's.
We are currently established here in the capital city at 56 degrees with a light rain falling.


Have a Fabulous Friday Friends.

Yours truly will be at the coast tomorrow and Sunday, but worry not. You will be in the highly capable and dedicated hands of one of our own: Edge, Guest Countdown Wizard Deluxe!

Greetings O Crowned One. Have a funtastic Friday and a safe and fun weekend. Edge will fill in nicely...

Are you trying to tell us something Holiday?

Thank you ... the healing incisions are driving me a little nuts, and it's a dark, cloudy day when I could really use my lamp here at the office, so I'm not as sunny as I'd like to be today.

(P.S. She doesn't mean a drug/alcohol/mental health intervention ... she's talking about some minor surgery I had on Tuesday. )

Greetings Merry. Dark huh? No Christmas lights to shine?
Glad you are doing better and I'm sure the healing process will go quickly with you. In the meantime, have a relaxing Friday and a calm weekend... take care.

TGIF, Christmas friends!

Jacob has the flu, doggone it. He seemed to feel better after lunch, but he's not going to school today. He was up late playing Xbox and wallowing (wallerin', as we say here in the south) on the couch. He won't be satisfied until we're all sick, too. Grrr. If any of your have ever seem the show "The Middle", he is Axle's twin.

Lunch with Mama & Jim today, then the auction with Jim and Bernie tonight.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Hey Brad. Aren't Friday's suppose to be less full? Stay healthy my friend and have a great day...

Good Morning Martine. We are at 250 pages for this year... not bad for the first quarter. I hope you are enjoying your final day of March and have nice plans (even if it is only to kick back some) for the weekend.

Good evening,

Just a quick pop in.
I fell asleep last night while reading through the posts, and now tonight I am nodding off again. I sat down for the first time tonight at 940pm. JC had his first lacrosse game/scrimmage tonight almost an hour away. It was his first ever, so he got his feet wet.
We have snow coming tomorrow into Saturday, where was all this snow at Christmastime?

I hope to get caught up tomorrow, but there just never seems like there is enough hours in the day right now.

Goodnight, everyone

Have a great day, xmas!! Enjoy the snow!

Good morning MMC ~
Merry Friday!
We're expecting lots of rain today in to tomorrow afternoon, could be heavy at times. I decided to go food shopping last night to get it over with, glad I did. Not too much going on here today, I'll just be working on some chores around the house. Working on my Easter menu as well. Oh I forgot to mention I bought tickets yesterday to see Stevie Nicks, the show is next week. So excited, I love her so much. Nothing else to report here. Hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Happy Friday, HMG!! Enjoy the day and that is awesome you got tix to the concert!

Happy Friday, Holiday!! Have a wonderful day!

Sorry to hear about Jacob, hope he is on the mend soon!
My youngest daughter and I always watch The Middle...one of our favorite shows!

Yes Edge, in fact I made it just before you today... lol. Weather here will be overcast and in the mid 40's, but no precip for today or the weekend. Working of course tonight and Saturday night, but I plan to kick back some on Sunday and Monday.
Enjoy your Friday with a nice hot mug...

Merry Friday!! Such a dreary day today..we don't have too many plans for the weekend. Tonight my youngest has a s b-day party sleepover and my oldest has a surprise party for her friend so my husband and I are going to drop them off and then go out to dinner. We have a gift certificate for an Italian place in town. Otherwise, should be a quiet weekend, which is fine with me. Enjoy your Friday and weekend!

Morning SnowflakeMom. That sounds like a perfect way to end the week. So do these things just happen or do you and your husband try to arrange them now and then... lol
Have a great evening with a lot of good food, fantastic company and a smile to end the night on...

Greetings DoYouHear. What a nice way to end the first quarter... hearing from you. I am certain we are all glad to find you well and with so much under your belt for the first part of the year. I am doing well, with less than 3 years to go until I can retire, sometimes the years going fast does have it's advantages...
Have a fun Friday and a wonderful weekend...
