Christmas Countdown - 2010

[Bradmac]

And finally....(I've been uncharacteristically verbose this morning!)

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Camp meeting is gonna kill me. I didn't get to sleep till 2am, then back up for work this morning. Yesterday it was 1am before I got to sleep.
*yahn*

I hope you all have a great (non-sleepy) day, everyone! cheesy

Good morning, everyone!!

It will either be a hot and humid or stormy and wet day in Ottawa. Forecasts are into the mid-80s with thunderstorms, but we shall see if they actually happen. I went to the gym last night for the first time in a few weeks. It was great to be back! I guess that is the one thing I hate about vacations - they take me away from my routine of physical activities. My body is definitely a little more sore than usual after taking the time off, but that is quite expected.

I finally had the time to do laundry last night. My clothes had been sitting in my backpack since I returned on Sunday night. They are all clean now. Lots of things are getting organized for the fall right now. It's coming a lot sooner than I think! Basically, I only have a month and a week left in Ottawa before I move to North Bay for Teachers College.

One of the agreements with the program at Nip*issing University is that I must purchase a MacBook Pro laptop in order to use their teaching software. At $1,300, that is going to cost me a little bit of cash. Unfortunately, since I went on my European vacation, I do not have that cash right now. However, my mom agreed to lend me the money and I have to pay her back in installments. I'm happy for that. I should be getting the MacBook Pro sometime next week. This means I will be able to get rid of my current desktop. Believe it or not, it has last a total of seven years! I purchased it in August of 2003 and it is still running!! It will be nice to have a new computer, especially a laptop, which I have been hoping to get for the past few years!

It's crazy that I am already thinking of returning to school. The summer has flown by and there is only about a month left. It's a little exciting though... After all, come September, we all know what is right around the corner!! Have a great Wednesay, everyone!! The work week has reached its peak, and we will be on the decending from the peak following lunch! Hooray!

Good morning!!! Well we managed to score some more Christmas Gifts last night for our son. Kmart is having a hugh toy clearance sale with an additional 50% off the marked down price. Also picked some gifts for his b-day next month. I am going to head over to another kmart at lunch time to day to see if I can find any deals there.

I stopped into the Dollar tree the other day and they were starting to put out their fall and halloween stuff. That got me really excited.....

It's going to be another hot and humid day here. Can not wait for the nice cool crisp air of fall.

Well have a nice day!

I am back to work after a week of vacation and it is not nice! My coworkers are reall buddy-buddy and they spend half the day whispering and going off to one corner of the office to chat quietly. I really couldn't care less what they are talking about and really don't want to be involved in their gossip and crap, but I find that very rude and in a way, it hurts my feelings. My boss is not a good boss at all (terrible temper and doesn't belive he is ever wrong), but he is retireing after this school year, so I am trying very hard to hang in for another year. Hopefully it will improve greatly then! I try to keep thinking happy thoughts!!!
On a happy note though.....in a few hours, I'll be back home with my animals and kids and hubby and the day will be much better!!!

Guten Tag everyone! I hope all is well. I finally have a day off. Today won't be too relaxing. I'm gonna be catching up on my reading since I have fallen way behind. I also need to start doing research on comic books that I'm gonna be selling on eBay for a friend from work.

Since we last spoke, a new member has been born into my family, my cousin and his girlfriend had a girl name Kara Grace. I might get to go see her later. She's adorable.

I am also going to finally get my car's A/C fixed! I'm so glad that it's gonna be fixed! Have a great day everyone!

Wife is home sick but I took William to daycare so she can rest today. I work so she will have the house to herself. I was at work yesterday and saw a Christmas in July sale commercial on tv! Woo. I didn't even know what it was for but I was happy. Everyone else looked at me like my head fell off. LOL Hope everyone is having a good day. Stupid heat, go away. I want fall now!

Good morning! Been very busy preparing for things lately!!! Settlement is on Friday (woo hoo!) and Friday marks 1 month until my due date... I've been shopping like mad, trying to get everything in order! I have been thinking of Christmas in July sooo much and I'm so excited to watch QVC this weekend, although we have lots to do at the house (not much I can do being sooo pregnant, though, fortunately for me!! hehe)

Hope you are all well!

Good morning Chritmas friends!

Well - I was soooooooooo tired last night that all I could do was veg on the couch. I actually snoozed the alarm once this morning which is very rare for me. I keep my alarm across the room on my dresser - so that when it goes off, its more of a pain to get up...snooze it...then crawl back into bed. So - 99% of the time I get up - shut it off, and then start my day.

But - now that I'm up and am having my coffee (YUM!)...I'm starting to wake up quite nicely. I have such a busy day ahead of me since I wasn't at work yesterday and my boss is back today. Oh boy...just gotta remember I can only do one thing at a time!

I hope you all have a super merry day today! The key is this...think Christmas!!!

I hope you two get much needed rest! cheesy

I cannot find ShopNBC on my tv! I have checked it several times and cannot find the channel! This gets confusing with almost 1000 channels! I did watch it last year and I am watching it on my laptop but I rather watch it on tv. I will scan through my channels again and just hope they didn't remove the channel.

Thanks! I am watching it online. (I went online before I checked the tv) cheesy I just rather watch it on tv so I can surf the net while I watch it. I can't understand why I don't have it. I found several other "junk" shopping networks looking for ShopNBC. They have those stations running but not that one. I live in a big city, you would think they have it. Oh well, lol.

Good morning all!

I feel like I am in a fog this morning and my body is sore from work last night, after being off for 2 weeks. There has been some cool stuff on ShopNBC, but I am not buying anything, but do love seeing a Christmas tree in July.

Have a great day all!
