Christmas Countdown - 2018

[MerryCarey]

He/she is so beautiful!! Can you keep an office parakeet?

Probably. It's a private company, and some employees bring their dogs. But what would happen to the poor thing over weekends and holidays? He'd be all alone.

Someone went out and bought him a cage so he wouldn't have to stay in a dark box all day.

Good afternoon... can't believe it's Monday already ... Weekend went by way to fast. We got much rain in the past few days that when you walk on the grass it feels like and sounds like a sponge. Any more rain and are gonna need paddle boats to get around and to top the weekend off we had a thunderstorm last night. I think mother nature is off her rocker again .. LOL

I just saw a commercial on Hallmark advertising the return of "Countdown to Christmas for 2018"

A perfect advertisement to run during the "Countdown to Valentine's Day".

Good Morning, Folks.
The second half of our weekend has begun.

We have also begun the LAST day of the first QUARTER of our Season count!

The daily figures:
Days to the Season: 275
Days to Christmas Day: 317

And indeed. As alluded to above, the SECOND quarter of our Season count begins tomorrow, Guys.
Can you believe that?
Seems like Christmas Season 2017 just ended such a short time ago and we have already moved so far along toward the 2018 installment!

In spite of some rain, we got all the way up to 66 degrees yesterday, and today we are predicted to reach 72. Very nice indeed for February!
(If things could stay like this, I wouldn't mind winter at all. In fact, it woul be better than true summer because it is minus all the humidity.)
Our current temperature reading here in the capital city is an incredibly balmy 68 degrees but we are under the threat of more rain.

Have a Super Sunday, Everybody!

Given Lent(!) starts Wednesday, and pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training(!!!) Tuesday, yes I can.

We finally hit 20 degrees, yesterday, so I dug out the path to our road that plowed in when the city cleared the sidewalk, last Tuesday. To freeze or to drown. That is the question(A discarded bit of Shakespeare's writing that didn't fit into his work at the time.).

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

An applicant for our general manager's position is in our conference room right now, video-interviewing with our director. We're all nervous about what kind of person will take our friend's job, and become our boss.

I spent Friday night and all day Saturday at Elizabeth's dance competition. I must confess, there were so many categories and so many trophies, I'm not really sure who won LOL. But, she had a great time, and there was a lot of talent to see, so it was fun. I was drafted to be a Stage Dad, and I had to lift and move props, so it was a little interesting.

I got to spend time with my new niece yesterday, too. Nancy was so jealous that I got to hold her first!

I hope y'all have a great day!

How is your little niece by now? I bet she's growing so fast!! How old is she? Glad you got some spoiling time in!
Hope your new GM ends up being a great person!! xx I'm sure Russell is overseeing the decision!
Have a good day Brad!

My hubby is in the air - no turning back now! He has a rude awakening....from 85º to BRRRRR!! Although after today it's supposed to warm up into the 40's & 50's! Still not quite 85!!!

You'll have to take turns taking her/him home on weekends & holidays like the kids in school do with their classroom "pets"!

Hope everyone is well today. Been so busy with studying today and it's been a stressful one so glad to be in my PJ's relaxing with some hot chocolate.

Good Monday morning! A beautiful sunny Winter morning, not too cold, just perfect. Temperatures will warm up during the week and it's supposed to stay quite warm for the next couple of weeks. I'm watching the Olympics while having breakfast, while Loki is staring at birds and squirrels. The plan today is to tackle some deep cleaning around the appartment. Have a great day everyone!

She's almost 4 months now, and yes, she's growing like a weed!

Quitting time. Hubby's plane landed. Everyone have a great evening!!

 

[xmastidings]

I hope so too. He's very tame, doesn't mind being handled, and doesn't bite. He's bright yellow like a canary, but he's a budgie. (He may be a she for all I know.)

Awwwww, I would love to give him a new home, poor thing!

But, I think my two putty tats would like him just a bit too much!!!!

********** MILESTONE DAY **********


Good Morning, Fellow Travelers.
We voyage together through the rolling year, back to our long-awaited and much-coveted Christmas Season, ever anticipating its traditional joys.

And joy of joys, we have now reached another Milestone Day!
The exciting details will follow this morning's data release.

Days to the Season: 274
Days to Christmas Day: 316

Now, let it now be known far and wide, that the entire FIRST QUARTER of our trip to Christmas Season 2018 is now complete, and we have officially entered the SECOND quarter of the journey.
(Now, that is starting to make things appear closer for sure, doesn't it?)

Wow. It was REALLY warm yesterday for February, topping out at 73 for the afternoon high. No rain too, despite threats. A truly perfect mid-winter day!
Today will see us cool off some, into the lower 60's, and rain is a distinct possibility.
We begin today at a temperature reading of 63 degrees, here.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Folks.
And I hope your new week is off to a Stupendous Start!

Thank you so much Crown and Happy Milestone Day to you!!!

Love this picture, so cute!

That hoodie is too cool. Would Rocky really fit in that pocket? That was very thoughtful gift from your in-laws.

OMGosh! Adorable!!! Rocky will be a star in your little pouch!!!

Thank you! Yes, Rocky will fit in the pocket of the shirt. There’s plenty of room, he’s still a peanut. I took this picture this morning ~
