Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Crown 84]

.....Today is my 1/2 birthday according to the email I got from Ben & Jerry's who offered me a discount as a result. I guess this means I can have 1/2 a cake too?.....

And you can wash it down with Annette's half-cup of coffee (but you might have to fight Binger for it!)

Good Morning Whole Friends, Half Friends, and everyone else in between.
(What would that be, three-quarter friends?)
Regardless.....
Days to the Season: 246
Days to Christmas Day:288
Now UNDER half a week away from the 1/3 Season Milestone.
Close! So close!

Again overcast this morning, but warm (62) and not as threatening as yesterday, although rain is still in the forecast.

Have a Fabulous Friday and an Exciting Eve of the Weekend, Everyone!
Tomorrow is Saturday, then Sunday, then on Monday......the ONE THIRD Season Milestone will be here!

Hey Minta- I am over half way done..I started hitting the sales on Dec 26th- I am still at it- getting final winter merchandise markdowns...

YABBA!

That's awesome... we would be further along too but we had a couple family emergencies where it required me to miss work and add a few more missed days due to snow. If I do not work I do not get paid that equaled a shortage in money. Things are getting back on track now so I am now on the look out for more possible gifts.

I did manage to score a great deal on some summer clothes for the kids that they had left over from last year that were marked down to $1 & $3 each.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and well wishes! You all rock! I know it all helped to get the good results of being cancer free! :???:

I get the good news, my daughter comes over for a short visit, then leaves. About 2 hours later I get a frantic call from her husband that he is on his way with the kids and dropping them off. I just say ok but have no idea what is going on. He gets here with the kids, one of my grandsons only had one shoe on! I know something is not right. He hollers that my daughter has been in a car accident on her way home from a parent/teacher meeting and he has to go to the scene. She was taken by ambulance and checked over real good at the hospital. No internal injuries or broken bones but she was banged up really bad. They gave her pain medication and told her she will be hurting for several days. There was 3 cars involved and it was this one lady's fault that according to several witnesses who saw the accident and the police did confirm that as well. The lady that rammed into her caused her car to spin and she plowed down a pole with the front end of her car. When it first happened my daughter blacked out then came to and she said she jumped out of the car running to the other cars checking on everyone else. She said all of the sudden she felt like she was going to pass out. She was the only one transported to the hospital out of everyone involved. Thank God the kids were not in the car with her!

Christmas-A-Holic - Sorry to hear she was in an accident but glad to hear she has no major injuries. Hope she recovers quickly.

Oh my goodness! Thank the Good Lord that your tests came back clear, and that your daughter will be ok!

Thanks and I was just thinking that everyone in my family has been spending too much time in the hospital this past month! Hopefully this will be the end of it. I am ready for spring and good health to all!

Good Friday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's still overcast here, but maybe the rain will hold off.

I've been asked to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon today, since I'm a city councilman. I hope I don't have to speak! I'm also riding in tomorrow's parade. How strange for me! Maybe next weekend will be more normal.

I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

Oh my goodness, how frightening! Thank the Lord that she came out rather unscathed. When she's feeling better, I think your family needs a big, Christmas-style to celebrate that everyone is doing well! Take it easy!

Good morning, everyone!!

Congratulations, Christmas-A-Holic. That's fantastic news. Sorry to hear about your daughter, but it's good to know that she did not suffer any major injuries. Hopefully the lady whose fault it was is punished for her crime.

My tournament this weekend has been canceled. The forecast for the site of the tournament - Millersville University (in PA) - is going to get hit hard by the low pressure system today and tomorrow. Tomorrow should have heavy winds and rain, which is not great conditions. We probably would have ruined their fields. Showers on Sunday as well eliminated all chance of going down. They canceled the tournament yesterday afternoon. Now we must come up with some alternative plans.

Well, I think I am going to the gym to get in a workout since I won't be traveling today. There's a practice tonight and probably a long one tomorrow afternoon. Have a great Friday, everyone. The weekend is so close!! I'll try to come on this weekend, but I am looking forward to another Milestone Monday on the other side of the weekend!

So happy for you all!! Exciting news.

Sorry to hear about your daughter, but it's good to know that she did not suffer any major injuries. Hopefully the lady whose fault it was is punished for her crime.

In some ways my daughter feels bad for that lady because she knows that she did not intentionally try to hurt anyone but she was not showing good judgment on the road that caused it. My daughter even tried to help that lady out of her car right after the accident but she almost blacked out and couldn't do anything. My daughter just needs her medical bills paid and running car. Hopefully the insurance will take care of all this mess.
