Christmas Countdown - 2017

[Martine]

Good Thursday morning! Is it me or is this week going by much too slowly? I guee I just want the weekend to be here already. While my boss is on vacation I am in charge of the store and yesterday my patience was tried when a colleague simply did not do what needed to be done for the warehouse and we were left to take care of the mess in the evening. At least the sun is out to help brighten my mood. Hope everyone will enjoy a great day.

Hello everyone,

I have pretty much taken a sabbatical from MMC lately, too much going on in my life to make daily visits. My wife and I are trying to save our marriage, we actually decided it was over nearly 3 weeks ago after being together for 18 years. We talked a little more after we decided it was over we are still together as of now, holding on for dear life everyday. We have grown apart, and we're seemingly only together for the kids, but we started talking again and that is why I have not been here, trying to spend more time with her instead of online. If you know me on Facebook, please don't say anything about it, very few people know we almost split. I only have told 3 people, my boss, my second in charge in my area, and my best friend. It has been a trying time, I haven't cried this much in years, we are looking into counseling to figure this out.
I think about MMC daily, but just haven't been feeling Christmassy enough to visit when I have had time to pop in.
I hope you all are doing well, I miss you all and hope to spend more time here in the future.

You're not alone. Lots of people go through things like that. I hope everything works out for you and your wife for the best.

Happy Thursday MMC! A nice and cool morning here again. But the heat is on it's way. By next week everyone will complain it's too hot (hint: Gunny). But today it's nice and sunny and feels like September. I was just thinking how we're basically 10-12 weeks from being in the Bers again. That just is scary. Feels like we just celebrated Christmas not long ago. Hope you all have a great day today!!!

Hello Ron,
I am deeply sorry to hear that you are going through this difficult time. It is positive that you are both talking more and sharing your feelings. Please know that I am praying for you and your family and may you find courage and peace as you search for answers.

Take care of yourself.

*****COUNTDOWN ALERT*****
Good morning MMC!!
Today we officially hit the 200 day window to Christmas. It seems almost like yesterday Crown was posting the new Countdown for 2017, and here we are celebrating 200 days till Christmas. Lets look at our Countdown numbers quick:
Days to the Season: 158
Days to Christmas: 200

All the best things about Christmas are just ahead of us now as soon as we get past the heat of summer. Interupting that heat will be our own CIJ though, a time to party with family and friends and obviously with QVC. And lastly a time to hangout with the running MMC threads. Everyone have a great day and tune in for tomorrows Countdown!

Bless your heart, Ron, I'm sorry you and your wife are going through this. I hope counseling can help you both. Sending prayers for your family, my friend.

Good Thursday morning, Christmas friends!

It rained all night last night, but I think it's supposed to clear up today. It was really cool this morning, but it'll be in the mid-90's by Saturday, doggone it.

I'm taking a couple hours off this afternoon and going to Savannah with Nancy.

I hope y'all have a great day!

Where are you my lovely?!! I am downing the first quart I find this year as I exit the store.

Merry Thursday MMC ~
It's going to be cloudy today with a high of 65 degrees. I have a doctor appointment later this morning. Typical day otherwise. I'll just be working on some chores around the house this afternoon. I need to pick up Italian bread while I'm out, I'm going to make sausage & peppers heroes for dinner. I think I'll make a pasta salad to go with it. I guess that's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a nice day!

I went my whole life and disliked it..had only tried 1 sip many years ago. Last year I drank a whole cup and that was it!!! Addicted for life now.

Good morning MMC! Merry Friday Eve!!

Enjoy your day with mom today! Sounds like fun. What you guys making??

Good morning/afternoon Festive. It was a great day at Moms. I made food for vacation. I browned sausage for sausage bread, made a big crock pot full of BBQ Beef, made a garbage bag full of snack mix, baked 2 loaves of bread & invited the neighbor lady (mom #2) over for supper. Got home about 8pm & I was ready for bed. LOL!
I hope you are having a great day!!

Happy Pines Day! Rollins woke me up at 2 a.m. to someone screaming outside down a few blocks on the main road. It was kind of creepy actually something you'd hear out of a horror movie. Then 5 minutes later you heard it again out of nowhere. It was very weird. Maybe someone drunk. It's a very quiet town so you never hear that kind of noise in the middle of the night like that. Of course then going back to sleep was a challenge. Other than that just another day at work and already starting to eye the 3 day bday weekend. Have a great one!

How freaky! Our whole neighborhood would have been out in their pajamas trying to figure out what was going on! I hope it was an animal & no one was hurt!! xx

Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!

We made it back from Jacksonville with no problems yesterday. It rained on me the whole trip down there, but the lunch was awesome. We ate at The Metro Diner that was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, and they have obviously prospered from the publicity. It was packed!

It's still overcast and rainy here, but at least the temperature has moderated into the 80's.

I hope y'all have a great day!

I love going to the Diners Drive Ins & Dive restaurants!
