Christmas Countdown - 2009

[Santa's Helper]

1 more day of work and I'm off for a long weekend! I can't wait. I was going to work last night and it was snowing. When I left my house the roads were clear of snow. I drove 8 minutes down the road and I was stuck in a white out and the roads had about 1/2 inch of snow on them and they were really slick. Some cars had pulled off to the side of the road to wait it out. I actually had to put my auto 4 wheel on. It was awesome! Hope everyone had a good day today. I'm going to be heading off to bed now. Been sleepy all day.

I got all my laundry done today and had time to do some thrifting - found a mystery I really want to read and some Christmas ornaments. We're having leftovers for supper so the rest of the day is mine to do with what I want. I think another walk sounds pretty good right now. Hope the rest of your day goes well!

If you looked closely this morning, you would have noticed the counter read 260 days PLUS over 12 hours. I round off to the nearest day.
If I was to post the count in the afternoon, I would round down to the nearest day.
(This is all based on Eastern Daylight Savings Time, where I live.)
Of course, for those of you in Europe, it would already be later in the day.

but if you subtract jayish's age it would already be yesterday.. which means you add 12 hours...

YABBA new math..

Reading your posts reminds me of that lady on Meet the Robinsons, the one with all the coffee patches that she claims have no side effects.
You're not on them are you? cheesy

Well, it's another fun filled night at work! Walked in and there was a ton of stuff stacked by my desk with a long note attached. So much for the holiday slow mode that I've been in all week. Now I actually have to work all night! I usually go into a slow down about a week before a holiday when I know that I am getting time off. My holiday slow mode starts earlier for Thanksgiving and Christmas though. I usually start about a week before Thanksgiving and don't come out of it until I get back in Jan.! I'm listening to Merry Christmas Radio right now to pass the time while I'm working so hard. It's a rare occasion that I am able to actually listen at work so it's a special treat! This is my last night of work for the week. I'm off for a long weekend starting this morning when I punch out at 7:30am. I can't wait. Today will be busy with the dog getting groomed (she couldn't go yesterday because of a water main break), getting groceries for Easter and cleaning the house. Laundry needs done too. I'll get all of that done today so that I have the rest of the weekend to enjoy myself and my home. Happy Thursday everyone!!!

Santa's Helper, that must have been a "bummer" to see all that work on your desk! But, at least you could listen to Christmas tunes while you got through it all! Enjoy your time off! And stay safe in all that snow! Wow, how incredible!

Trackrebel - I just love your siggy pic...is that you? Do you DJ?

Good morning to everyone and a Happy Thursday to you all!

I've got another busy day ahead - but, who doesn't, right? haha I've been working on Spring cleaning my house and garden and was able to get everything done on my list yesterday. Today I won't have time to clean, but hopefully I can finish up the rest on Friday and Saturday.
I was wondering if anyone else has/had been tackling the Spring Clean, but it seems I've been reading more posts about snow than sunshine! LOL I suppose some get to enjoy winter a little longer than others.

 

[Santa's Helper]

It's a little rare to have snow in April but, sometimes the weather will surprise you! I figured we'd get one last blast of snow in March but, I guess it just came a little late! A lot of my friends have been spring cleaning but, I haven't started that yet. I'll probably be spring cleaning all summer long. haha!! Have a good day.

Good Morning everyone!

Last day of work before the long weekend. I have to get a cake baked yet for our family dinner tomorrow, as well as getting my daughter to peel a pan of potatoes. I also have to bring vegies, but have not yet decided what to do with that. cheesy
It is supposed to be nice weather wise all weekend and I am hoping to get out in the garden and do some prep work there. All the snow is gone, went as fast as it came. Flowers coming up all over the place. maybe now I can put away the winter coat till next season.
Have a great day all!

You're not on them are you?

Binger doesn't wear coffee patches, they have one in their back yard.
Didn't you know they grow their own? Rumor has it that Bing is one of Carl's biggest suppliers for his - um - questionable coffee experiments.

Good Morning, everyone out there in Christmasland.

Rise, shine, and have some sweet Southern Tea.

Our count:
Days to the Season: 218
Days to Christmas Day:260
Incredible how close we are getting to the 200-Day window.
Seems like yesterday we were just starting a new count!

Last chilly morning, at 47.
Seventies are just over the horizon.
Sunny and calm here in Raleigh at this hour.

Well, Folks, here we are again at Friday Eve.
Wow, the week is moving fast!

Have a Thrilling Thursday, Friends!

I'm a tad jealous about your warm temps. We're at about 58 here still a bit nippy. The sun is shining the snow is supposed to have ceased we'll see.

I'm heading out later today to take some photos.

Yesterday and today, The Easter Parade song was running through my brain.

I miss Fred. I miss chocolate bunnies and pogo sticks.

The Easter Bunny is bringing me something new, I just don't know what it will be yet.

:hello: Enjoy the day, enjoy the weekend ... even if you have to work ... make it fun!

OH! Okay! Haha, so you're a "home girl" then? LOL
I just thought the pic was funny...I love the guy's facial expression!
My brother is really into hip-hop and rap - he's got his own band and production
thing set up...he's about to graduate this May in "audio production engineering"...and
wants to work more on his own music and producing/engineering other bands, too!

LOL, he'll be the next Eminem...

Thanks for explaining all that for me!

 

[ElfSpirit]

Good morning and Happy "Good" Friday to everyone!

Wow, another week has pretty much flown by! And now it's almost Easter! Before we know it, it will be Christmas again! Yay!
Well, until then, there's much to be done. Today I'll try to get back to my cleaning list and get that all done...
Tomorrow I'm having a little get together with friends to celebrate my birthday, although belated (my birthday is on St. Paddy's day), so I need to do some prep work for that, too.
I'm trying to keep it easy...I've ordered a sushi party platter to be delivered tomorrow, will make a really easy courgette/zucchini soup...and to whet the whistle, lemon drop martinis!
(Actually, that has the most prepping!)
But, before all that, working in the house and then ballet class tonight...busy, busy!

I wish you all a great start to your weekend!
