Christmas Countdown - 2008

[DoubleA]

This short week is almost over, hooray for weekends with nice weather.

Bon Matin, mes amis!
(Oh, Morticia! Whenever you speak French, you drive me WILD!)

Days to the Season: 168
Days to Christmas Day: 210
(Closer and closer to the 200-Day window - barely 10 days off, now)
Also, look how close we are to the 30,000 thread view mark. That's enough for a good-sized city! We are rolling here, folks.

Another cool one this morning with the temp at 58.
It's sunny though and I can hear the birds singing.
True summer weather is supposed to arrive by this weekend. We have been spoiled by an incredibly mild May. I don't think the humidity was high all month.

Well, have a Thrilling Thursday, my fellow Christmas friends!

(Hmm.... No sign of our resident coffee sponge all day yesterday. Where is that bean head, anyway? Hiding out at the Shispering Pines gorging on fired twinkies, perhaps?)

Jimmy Hoffa!!! Crown Found Jimmy Hoffa!!!

Heehee!!

Sorry Jayster, but the famous teamster leader is part of Michigan's Freeway system...somewhere..west of metro Detroit. Jimmy Hoffa was LAST seen coming out of a restaurant in Bloomfield Hills..with mobsters Tony "Jack" Giacalone and Tony "Pro" Provenzano. (are they all called Tony?) Never seen alive again. Rest is cement history! Supposed to be embedded in the U.A.W. Freeway which was being built around that time he disappeared, 1976. ~Don't mess with the Michigan Maffia!

:?

Time is flying, that's for sure!

Morning all! I have a half-day at work today because I have a doc appointment this afternoon. (pray that all goes well for me!) It's cloudy and unusually cool here right now!

 

[JayIsh]

I guess we in Joisey don't have the market cornered on mobsters...I think I remember reading that they actually dug up the end zone in Giants Stadium cause somebody told the authorities that Jimmy had been buried there...They found what you'd expect...Nuthin'...Just in case, I'm always respectful of men named Tony...

Hey Cedar...Are you familiar with the Chuck Muir Restraunts in Michigan? I may have even asked you this before...

Jayster, recently...oh about a year ago I think,..some mob guy stuck in prison spilled his so-called knowledge of Jimmy Hoffa. He said he had information about the teamster leader being buried in a horse farm in Bloomfield, Michigan. They bulldozed the ENTIRE 20 acres trying to find the remains and they totally failed. I remember watching that on the news for about 3 days...Somehow, we all knew it wouldn't turn up anything CONCRETE!
*Chuck Muir restaurants? I'll have to research...don't know off hand, Jayster.

OH CROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning!!

When we were in school, we feared the dreaded "F".
But NOW we revel because "F" stands for.....drum roll, please......
FRIDAY!!

Days to the Season: 167
Days to Christmas Day: 209
Hey! Single digits to the 200-Day window!

A nice, sunny 66 degrees outside here in Raleigh at this hour.
Eighties for the high this afternoon, then 90 tomorrow.
(Must we always rush so fast from cool to hot weather? Can't we linger with just warm?
No matter, it was a great May!)

Have a Fabulous Friday, Friends!
And may your Weekend get off to a Wonderous start!

 

[Holiday]

Good Morning!!! Happy, HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! :hello:
