Christmas Countdown - 2008

[Binger]

Second character is "COFFEE PERSON" who ahs the ability to stay awake for 19 straight hours and has the Starbucks insignia on their chest!

YABBA! Coffee.. the PASSION!

 

[ReineV]

You guys...I'm so bummed today!! I really miss Christmas. It's like a really good old friend who you wish would come around more..but he just doens't have the chance to.

Starbucks sounds really good right now. It's 4 here and I only have one hour left at work!! Time MUST go faster!

 

[Holiday]

Hey guys!!! It's the greatest night of the week!!!! FRIDAY!!!!!!! (Better late than never, right??)

Was a busy day! We had 2 guys here today working on our roof...we found a spot where the wood was rotting out under the shingles...we just re-roofed our house about 8 years ago, so that shouldn't be happening!!! After work my hubby went mushroom hunting (no luck) & then fishing & now - even though it's almost 10:00 - we are getting ready to walk over to the neighbors for their graduation party! We'll show our faces for awhile & send our wishes....will probably be a late night!! Ah well... Sunday we have 3 graduation parties & I get to go to the commencements Sun. afternoon b/c my Goddaughter is graduating! Another busy day!! But tomorrow we have NO PLANS except for going to the lake & relaxing!!! :smile:

Have a great night!!!!

Crappy week-end here with rain all week-end & cool. So will work on the inside of the house.

:cry: I slept through the halfway point. Uggh, what's happening to me.

Excuse me whilst I check for pods in the closet.




Nope. It's me.


Guess I was just enjoying my slumper a wee bit too much. Those beds at the Shispering Pines are great for inducing sleep.

Yes, I said slumper. It's a deeper sleep than you can imagine.

Well - deeper than some of you can imagine.

A little something for y'all ...

Hey everyone, hooray for the weekend being here. We are melting away over here in the 100's but that just means its perfect weather for lemonade
Have a great weekend all!

Ah! But bear in mind we are closer to the start of Christmas Season 2008 than we are past the start of Season 2007!

Currently, our count stands at:
Days to the Season: 180
Days to Christmas Day: 222
(As opposed to Transylvania's count who stands for sucking blood, our resident bean counter who stands for sucking coffee and our resident day counter who rarely stands at all)

A bright, yet somewhat chilly, 55 here in Raleigh at this hour.
We should have highs in the 70's for the next few days.
The humidity is coming up a bit but still not bad by May standards for the south.

Well, I hope everyone's weekend is off to the greatest of starts!
Have a Stupendous Saturday, one and all.

Morning, Christmas Peoples!! I'm THAAAAT close (picture index finger and thumb measuring something) to throwing caution to the wind - and money to Amazon - and buying A Charlie Brown Christmas. I figured it'll be more available in May than in October. It's not on TV here so have to get my fix somehow!!!

The dogs are fed and watered. The son is studying (and I use the term loosely) for his Math exam on Tuesday (he's on his own for Math; French I can help with, n'est pas?) That said, think I can hear low muttering on the phone and plants are getting watered (another successful stalling technique!)

I shall advance into the kitchen and take no prisoners with a grilled cheese sandwich. That's how I feel and make no apologies!!!!!!!!

Later!!!!!!

:wiggy:

 

[AuntieMistletoeDear]

Don't forget your plaid napkins, Maureen. It's your day - live it!

 

[Maureen]

But of course - that goes without saying!!!!! Not to mention the crockery of course

 

[Cedarfarm]

Hey Ho Maureen! Go ahead and buy that Charlie Brown Christmas!!! It's money well spent! I bet those little guys up on the couch sleeping right now...

Auntie!! I really enjoyed reading your blogs...HOWEVER...guess what tune got stuck in my head...daidle, deedle, daidle, digguh, digguh...sound familiar?

That Bingster could write for a comic book, don't you think? Afterall, they came up with all those characters in the Opera...YABBA YABBA YABBA BINGSTER!!!

Hey Crown, 2A, Debster, Holiday, Jayster, Annette...everyone...HAVE A GREAT DAY!

 

[Jeff Westover]

I'm putting my air conditioner in the window today. It's supposed to be 95 today. We had snow just about 10 days ago. Go figger.

 

[Maureen]

Yo Cedar - you may remember them from such previous poses as this....

I've just hit post 666 - should I be worried???

:hello: I know full well how that happened. I'll have to add one of my others that has taken up permanent residence in my brain the last few days. Just to let it out.

Nice to know someone is reading my blogs.

cheesy Maureen - I knew you'd have the dishes too and while you're waiting for your Christmas video to arrive, you can enjoy another special.

cheesy Nope you're in the clear. If it was June 6th you might want to check over your shoulder from time to time.

Jeff - Our air conditioner will get set up in about two weeks. It gets warm in June.

It's raining today and I wanted to go shopping. BooHooHoo.

Looking into what makes our pal, Jay "tick", I scooped up a little surprise.

It's a long weekend here in Canada. Victoria Day is this Monday.

That calls for listening to some festive Christmas music or watching a Christmas video.

Wonder if O'Malley will join me, my husband will likely hide in front of the Sports. What's that sound? Tennis fans cheering. Hmmm. Think I hear opportunity knocking on the bedroom TV.

 

[mammaduke]

Good afternoon everyone, slept in today since the weather is so crappy here, rainy & cool here.
Since it is so cool I decided to make Chili for dinner with a tossed salad & corn bread.Thought that would be a good dinner.
Hope everyone is having a great week-end.

Hey Cedar, Maureen, crown, Binger, jay, Dom, Holiday, Annette & everyone else, have a fun filled Saturday.
