LOL! I'd never heard of that before, so I searched it. http://www.ehow.com/how_2112486_throw-dirty-santa-party.html
We do that for our work Christmas parties. It's a lot of fun!
I just picked up a bed and carrier last week at Walmart for Chrostmas for our daughter.
Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!
Well, yesterday was a pretty good day. Work was under control, and when I got home, my son and I went hunting. Always a lot of fun!
It's a really nice day here today. Blue skies, 43°F this morning. Perfect!
I hope you all have a great day!cheesy

Good Morning, All.
Cold again this morning with the temp at 39. A touch too cold for this time of the year. It is supposed to reach the 70's by this afternoon, however.
Our count marches on:
Days to the Season: 24
Days to Christmas Day: 66
Under 3 1/2 weeks now to the Season begining!
We had a nice visit to the Fair yesterday. Lots of sights to see and good food to eat. There is just an atmosphere there that brings on the holiday spirit! I even got a photo of a Christmas display which I will post in the Christmas Blossoms thread before long.
Speaking of that thread, is everyone keeping their eyes peeled for signs of Christmas to photograph and post?
Have a Terrific Tuesday, Friends!

Well my Tuesday can only get better! I have been fighting off a cold but this morning I woke up feeling pretty bad. Sore throat, coughing, running/stuffy nose and body aches. My 2 month old son woke up at 4 am and didnt go back to sleep. My parents have to have my 17 year old cat (she was my 10th Birthday present) put to sleep :-? today. Its just been a bad day so I had to come on to my favorite Christmas site to cheer me up!

It's warming up here today so I will probally spend some time outside tearing out my garden. Then I have some paperwork to do for work. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feel better soon!
Sorry to hear about the kitty. My parents just had to make a decision like that too.
Hi everyone!
Today, I have some phone calls to make. But besides that, I'm going to catch up on my book. I don't know what happened between last week and this week, but I'm not going to complain about the free time I'm getting right now.
Have a great day today!!

Good morning, everyone!
I wanted to post yesterday but I have been incredibly busy since returning from Montreal on Sunday night. Normally, I would say that the continuation of the countdown has increased my excitement, however, to be honest; I am still coming down from a near all-time high. On Sunday we won the Men’s Canadian University Ultimate Championship! – Not sure if I mentioned it was Nationals for Ultimate (Frisbee).
What an incredible feeling it was. The three day tournament was tough as it included 11 games, including five on Friday. My body is still sore from hitting the ground hard on more than a dozen occasions, but it’s worth it. It’s crazy to think that Carleton University is Canadian National champions. We came up a little too short at the Eastern Championships, but stepped up when it really mattered. Although we had previous lost to the team we faced in the finals on Saturday by a sort of lopsided score of 14-7 – we were even up 4-1 at one point - we were not going to get down on ourselves on Sunday and we would not accept second place. In the end, we defeated the top-seeded University of Western Ontario 15-11 to capture the 2009 Canadian University Ultimate Championship!
When played at a highly competitive level Frisbee is an extremely grueling sport. Obviously, this makes it even more special as we’re proud to say that we wouldn’t quit until we scored the final point! The result finally made the non-stop playing for nine straight months and extra gym workout sessions worth every second. It’s quite surreal… very rewarding. I couldn’t be happier for our team. We actually have a large team this year – 23 players – and they all stepped up in the Finals even when they did not receive any playing time, they remained loud and showed that they were an important part of the team.
I’ve attached the team picture, if anyone is interesetd. I am on the very bottom on the left, laying on the ground. Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone… and, of course, thanks for asking how it went, Brad. Glad your trip into the mountains went well. The photos are beautiful. There is such an incredible contrast of seasons and weather up there. It’s breathtaking!
My apologies for another long post! The countdown is moving quite fast! We’re already past the halfway mark of the 20s and we will be in the teens this weekend! In regards to the Christmas Blossoms thread, I saw a large banner inside a mall where I do plenty of my grocery shopping here in Ottawa that said “Christmas Store” with Christmas lights around it! There was a bunch of Halloween costumes inside and it appeared half full, so I hope they are preparing for their Christmas stock!! I will bring my camera the next time I plan to go to the mall.
Have a great Tuesday everyone!!
