Christmas Countdown - 2008

[misjordi]

I can't wait to decorate everything up!!!! I am worse than the kids, or so my hubby says! I always get the lights up in October cause it's always cold here and a few years ago I waited and froze my butt off trying to decorate, didn't make that mistake again. Already doing my fall cleaning and getting ready for the season!! After all it's only around the corner!!!!!!!!!!

Afternoon all

Hoep you're all having a groovy Friday! I'm only a couple of hours away from starting my weekend so I'm happy happy happy!!

Think I might start with my plans this weekend for how I'm going to wire up the lights outside in my new house.... have a nice size cherry tree right outside my front door which is going to be covered in fairy lights, and icicle lights around the eaves of the house... should be good... just got to work out where to take the power to, and how many lights I need

Have a good weekend everyone!

Scoobie.

[Binger]

Dom.. I agree... look back at the first posts on this thread and it is remarkable.. we were all rejoicing at the " under 300 days" mark in January.... now - the year is just flying by and in 90 days.. we all start decorating and getting up at 2;00AM ( not Crown.. more like 2:00PM) to hit the " black friday" specials..... ( did I tell anyone how I got a Wii last year in October.. at Toys r Us? Walked right in and bought it with no crowd.. no line. etc...)-

.....I bet this board starts to get more people back consistently after Labor Day. Woohoo

Right you are, Dom! Things should really start hopping about then.

Continuing on.....
Days to the Season: 90
Days to Christmas Day: 132

Sunny and 73 here in Raleigh with clear skies.
Possible showers in the next few days.

Well, folks, another Friday is here!
I hope it is a Fabulous one for all.
And may your weekend be the greatest!

Keep that Christmas song in your heart and may the spirit of the Season be with you.

....getting up at 2;00AM ( not Crown.. more like 2:00PM) to hit the " black friday" specials.....

Well, for the sake of the Season, I might get up a tad earlier.
Who knows, I may even toast it's arrival with a cup of Carl's coffee.
Well.....er.....no, let's make that tea!

:give: Happy Friday to everyone!!!

We are on the downward slope to our favorite season now -- I think we are picking up speed!!

 

[misjordi]

CAN'T HARDLY WAIT!

:hello:

 

[Crown 84]

Well, you can knock another day off the wait:
Days to the Season: 89
Days to Christmas Day: 131

I know. You're thinking "What's Crown doing up so early??"
Well, I have a busy morning ahead so I thought I'd better get the count posted while I have the chance!

An overcast, 70 degrees here in Raleigh at this hour. Chance of rain today.

Well, I best get started out to have the car inspected. If I get there early, the wait won't be so long.

Have a Stupendous Saturday, friends!
And I hope your weekend is off to a wonderous start.

Good Morning! beautiful sunny day here this morning. I am off to hit a few garage sales and then off to the farmers market for a few things! I hope everyone has a terrific weekend!

 

[Crown 84]

Well, here's another fellow-poster, however late.
And I just happen to have the count on me:

Days to the Season: 88
Days to Christmas Day: 130
Onward we move through our count - ever onward. Milestone after milestone falls, and then......... Well, you know!

A nice walk-friendly 72 here in Raleigh with overcast skies.
No rain at the moment but a 30% chance is shown for today.

Have a Super Sunday, everyone!
And get rested up to start moving another week closer!

Good Morning. A beautiful day here with blue skies and lot's of sunshine. Today we are going to s/o company party. Will be a nice day for the event. I went to the Farmer's Market yesterday and bought a few things from the Hutterite's. They make the best homemade breads. The loaves are huge...by far not your standard sized loaf. I also got some of their brown eggs...and rhubarb wine. I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend!

 

[misjordi]

With each passing day, it's getting closer!!!!!!! And I'm getting even more excited!!!!!

 

[cheryl65]

All of your enthusiasm is infectious

.. I was out shopping for the new super java aqua marine blend that I saw advertised on the olympics... one sip and you swim like Michael Phelps!

Yeah! I heard about that. Two sips and you can pole vault without the pole.

Good morning, guys!
A bright, calm and sunny 71 outside here in Raleigh at this hour.
Two days of nice, dry weather predicted.

Days to the Season: 87
Days to Christmas Day: 129
Onward we move towards our next milestone, the 2/3 Christmas Day marker coming up on August 25, a mere 1 week from today!
Those markers are passing at a dizzying rate!

Have a Marvelous Monday, everybody.
Don't drink too much coffee (unless you are Binger, that is. It would be dangerous for all of us if they didn't!).
