Christmas Countdown - 2009

[brent]

Good afternoon, everyone!!

My dad is still here, which means that I have been quite busy hanging out with him. It's always a good time. Tonight, we are going to the Boston Bruins vs. Ottawa Senators game here in Ottawa. Himself, Kim and I all have our Bruins gear ready and should be leaving quite soon! Afterward, I will be heading to a friend's house for our victory celebration from a week ago. It should be quite a fun night.

It's hard to believe that we're nearly two month away! We're less than three weeks until the Season and now another hidden milestone of two months tomorrow. Fantastic! I went to the Rideau Centre Mall today and the American Eagle store was already decked out in full Christmas decor! I never go in the store, but I could not help but stare and smile as we walked past. The Bay also had a bunch of their Christmas decorations out, including trees and ornaments. I smiled at that as well. We certainly are getting close!! I apologize for not taking photos but Kim had my camera at the time. Next time!!

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Hope you find some great books!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I found a book on gingerbread, which is perfect since I am entering a gingerbread house competition. It is full of good ideas and recipes.
Also found a cookbook called "Classic Cooking with Coca-Cola" , that ones sounds like it will be interesting to try.

Good Morning, Half-Way-Through-The-Weekend Friends!

Calm and tad coolish this morning here in Raleigh at this hour, where we stand at 55 degrees.
The rain of yesterday has subsided, and we should have a dry, sunny day for the last day of our State Fair.
I took my father last Monday and today, I will go with my sister and nieces. Incredible entertainment for only $5 a ticket!

The count:
Days to the Season: 19
Days to Christmas Day: 61
Wow! The teens!
And Christmas Day only 2 months away.
Faster and faster we roll on......

Have a Super Sunday, Everyone!
Enjoy the last of your weekend.

Good morning everyone! Hope that you all are having a nice weekend! It has been pretty chilly here, but still nice out at least. I do believe they are calling for some rain, but that I can handle as long as I get to stay inside!

Yesterday, my husband and I took part in the St. Louis Liver Life Walk. He is 25 and was diagnosed with liver disease about 3.5 years ago and we now continue waiting for a transplant. It was really cool to get together and walk for a cause and meet others that are fighting too! It was actually held at the same place that we were married at about 4.5 years ago. Kind of surreal to be there again for that reason.

Today my in-laws are in town and taking us to the Rams game. Now, I am not a fair weather fan by any means and I will always love and support my teams, but I am also a realistic fan. The Rams have not won a single game and the Colts have not lost a single game. I think I know where this is going....LOL My FIL is a huge Colts fan, so hopefully he won't make this too unbearable hehehe.

1 week from today I will be putting up my decorations! I can't even believe it is time Then in 12 days I will go to Branson for the Christmas festive and in 19 days the season officially starts! I am so excited for this season!! Thanks for sharing it with me!

Goooooooooooooooddddddd MORNING!

Hope this find you asleep!.....

What a thoughtful thing to say, Ballcoach!

Ho hum...That's how I feel. These past couple of weeks have been rough for me. I'm excited that Christmas is here but I feel that I've lost my spirit to decorate for myself. I usually start on Nov. 1st but, I'm not even looking forward to it right now. I don't know. Hopefully it comes back to me but, I feel that this is going to be a rough Christmas for me this year. Hope everyone else is in the spirit this year and pass some along to me. Thanks!

I hope things start to brighten up for you. I'm sure some decorations will lighten the dreary days!

The weekend at last! I am going to a book sale this morning, the library is selling off all its used books + some new ones. This is always a good place for a deal.

Did you find any good books? I love the library book sales. One year, they had so many books, you paid $5 for a large paper bag and just took as many books as you could fit in there. It was great!

Good morning everyone! Yesterday was a busy day. My sister and brother came over and we carved some pumpkins. We tried using some templates, but it didn't go over well. My brother completely gave up and ended up doing a traditional jack-o-lantern on the other side. My sister and I persevered and mine ended up looking like nothing. Nobody will be able to tell that it's a turkey in there.

So then, after that bit of fun, I went to see a movie and came home and enjoyed the rest of my eveing.

Today, I'm going to my gram's house to have my dress fitted. Then I'm going to relax for the rest of the day, because I got my fiance's sickness I've been trying to avoid. At least it only lasted a couple of days with him, so I should be better by Tuesday.
