My bestest pal.

Just a quick hello to everyone before I crash out for the night =)

 

[Holiday]

Happy Hump Day!! I'm still trying to wake up, but when I get the sand from my eyes I bet I'll be able to see... THE WEEKEND!!

I had movie night last night w/ my Mom & my niece. I popped some popcorn & we watched Just Like Heaven It was very good. While watching the movie I made baked caramel popcorn for the party tonight...I can't hardly wait to dig in!! (I haven't made caramel corn for a long time!!!) Tonight we brown 25 lbs. of ground beef & chop 15 lbs. of onion for chili...anyone want to help?!?! Ha ha! It seems like it was just a month ago that we browned burger & chopped onions for last years party....geesh, times a flyin!

CAN YOU BELIEVE WE ARE OFFICIALLY 1/2 WAY TO CHRISTMAS??? WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!! :???:

You all have a great Hump Day!!!

Good Morning, all!

Well, a day of events.
We have at long (or short?) last reached the 1/2 Christmas Day milestone!!
(183 days down, 183 days to go).
And, our Binger is embarking on their Alaskan adventure! May it be a good, profitable and tasty one!
In double honor of the occaision, I might stay up until midnight and toast them with a cup of coffee! (Well, at least I'll think about it)

Days to the Season: 141
Days to Christmas Day: 183
And now that the 1/2 Day mark has been reached, we are ready to move on to our next milestone, the 2/3 Season marker, which arrives next month. TWO-THIRDS?? NEXT month?? No - can't be!

And finally: Yes, Holiday, we have reached the peak of the week - and the view to the weekend could not be better!

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, one and all!
(And keep safe on your trip, Bing, my friend)

Hope everyones having a great week so far.
I was hoping to ask for a little help though.
The Food Network is going to run a holiday special this year and they need people to ask some questions, I talked with the lady with the network and she said my video might have a good chance. So if you could, go over and get its views up and maybe leave a comment. Thank you so much and have a good one!

Sounds like a great idea!

:???::???:YA!!! We are 1/2 way to the next christmas season.
Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday, sunny & warm here today with temps in the 80's.

 

[Annette]

Good evening...been a busy day and week. Larissa is still in swim lessons (last day is Friday) and she is also taking ukulele classes too...tomorrow is her last day. This weekend is rodeo weekend so town will probably be busy with the parade and the rodeo itself. Saturday I plan to attend my nieces birthday. Hope everyone had a great day.

 

[Wenceslaus]

And starting the season then gives us exactly 50 days (Nov 13 through Jan 1) to enjoy being "within" the season.

:? Wait a minute, let's not cut Christmas short. Christmas doesn't end on January 1. The Twelve Days of Christmas begin at sundown on December 25, and end at sundown on January 6. (Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were a holy day; followed by the festive twelve days of Christmastide.)

 

[Holiday]

Good morning! We are so close to FRIDAY now!! :-D

We got the 25 lbs. of burger browned last night & the 15 lbs. of onions chopped...man does our basement smell like a big onion!!! We chopped them outside, but I'm storing them in the fridge in the basement & the smell is creeping out from inside the fridge! :lol:

Did anyone celebrate "Rudolph Day" yesterday?? I was too busy cleaning the house to get ready for the people to come over last night to help w/ chili prep. They didn't leave until 11:00 so not much time to watch a movie or anything. And the house cleaning was useless...it's a mess again! So I clean again before the chili party! Never ending! Lol!!!

Have a great day!!

Ah! But sometimes, stating the obvious can be uplifting!

Good Morning, fellow Christmas travelers.

On we move relentlessly through our count:
Days to the Season: 140
Days to Christmas Day: 182
That next (2/3 Season) milestone is lurking just ahead in a mere 18 DAYS .
Can you believe it??

A pleasant 78 here in Raleigh at this hour but by this afternoon, it is supposed to be in the upper 90's with elevated humidity.
Oh, well. You can expect that here in the South this time of year.

Have a Thrilling Thursday, folks.

 

[Annette]

Good Morning...I am off to the dental office here shortly for an appointment. Little one will go to her music classes and then off to swim lessons. Grandma will be taking her today. Kind of a cloudy and cooler day this morning. I hope everyone has a nice Thursday. The weekend is almost here...cheesy

 

[Cedarfarm]

Good Thursday Morning Pals!

Woke up to Dinosaur-Land...it had just rained, rolling fog and the sun just starting to warm things up..very humid. I ran and got my camera but the scene disappeared before I got back.
Someday, I hope they make a camera you can put on like sunglasses, when you see something you want to capture at that precise moment...you just blink your eyes, and the picture is taken!! cheesy

Wonder where the Bingster is right now? Sipping their 19th cup-o-joe hurdling through the Dakotas towards the Great Frontier.

YABBA!
