cheesy It's Friday and I have the day off from work today!

If you're thinking I was diligent by getting up and starting my re-arranging furniture, cleaning, etc. - you're waaaaaaaaaay off.

I had two naps so far. One at 5:30 this morning, the other just an hour ago.

I'm still in my loungewear. Love it!

This morning - in the wee hours I spent quite a bit of time here and then took a wander over to YouTube then a brief visit to a few other Merry abodes.

And look what I found to share with the Christmas Enthusiasts today!

Tomorrow, I'll get my housework done and on Sunday it's time to spoil my mom rotten.

It should be a clear day after rain for two nights in a row.
The foliage is nice and lush!

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

Good Morning Friends. 38 and over cast this morning. It rained like crazy last night. Suppose to be in the upper 50's today. I hope we are not in for more rain. Or there won't be any rodeo going on this evening. I am headed off to a Estate Sale later this morning. I am hoping to find some more Christmas "goodies". Not that I need them but some habits are hard to break=)
Later this afternoon I will attend my friends baby shower. She is having a little boy due later this month. I got a few things for the new one coming soon. One thing in particular is this black little onsie. It has a picture of two guitars (kinda in a v shape) and between the 2 guitars is a potty chair. The top reads I wanna rock and roll all night (and the bottom says) and Potty everyday. Thought it cute! I think the parents will dig it! Anyhow...Have a good day gang. And thanks MMD for your help with the pic. posting for the albums. I finally figured it all out. Now if only someone will approve it. =)

Good morning everyone, hope everyone is having a great Saturday.Cloudy here with temps in the 60's,

:hello: Now that you mention it ... the Friday before last I was out for lunch and I had a pot of tea instead of coffee.

I don't know what's happening - guess you're rubbing off on me. HaHa.

And I managed to get my housework done this morning before lunch.

Off to have a wee nap and dream about Christmas.

Enjoy that baby shower, Annette - I love babies and shopping for them is nearly as much fun as shopping for Christmas gifts.

I'm disappointed with myself for putting my decorations away so early last year, but I knew I was going to get realllly busy and didn't want to have things out on display at Easter.

I still have a little Christmas corner in the master bedroom. Couldn't tuck it all away.

Auntie- DO NOT let Tar Heel types rub off on you- you will sleep for days on end and forsake all good coffee for a drink of hot water and whatever leaf you can pick off a chinaberry tree! ohhhhhh noooooooo

Too late, my coffee-soaked friend. We have a new member in the sleep-and-tea club (which meets once every month at the Shispering Pines to drink tea, eat fired twinkies and tell coffee jokes).

Days to the Season: 186
Days to Christmas Day: 228
Days to the 1/2 Season Milestone: 4 (Wow! Moving right in there!)

Good Morning.
Good WET Morning.
I note that der Binger has sent some of their rain our way. A steady, light rainfall is in progress with the temp standing at chilly (for mid-May) 57.
Not to worry, the sun should return tomorrow - good for brewing sun tea!

Have a Super Sunday, my friends.
Get all rested up to begin moving another week closer to our fabulous Christmas Season!

This guy walks into a coffee shop and asks the waitress: "How much is the coffee?" "Coffee is three dollars the waitress says". "How much is a refill?" the man asks. "Free, "says the waitress. "Then I'll take a refill!"
