Christmas Countdown - 2011

[made582]

Made, I'm pulling for Peyton and the Colts. They are gonna make it through this.

That was just embarrassing last night. They need to cut the whole secondary of the defense and start over.

Good Monday morning everyone!
Whats this? A week until Halloween? Wow! Better get my Ash costume out and make sure its not wrinkled lol. My Halloween party is this Saturday, should be fun. Not much is new. Dropped William off at the inlaws and Ash and I went out shopping. Didn't see any Christmas stuff though. Saw lots of Halloween stuff! We got a pumpkin as well! Well back to work I go. Hope everyone is getting geared up for Christmas! I am!

Good Monday morning, Christmas family!

Tomorrow I am helping my cousin and will be out most of the day, so I have a lot to get done this morning. I'm going to listen to some Alice Cooper as I clean house and then when I work, I will put on the Christmas tunes :merry:

Have a HOLLY, JOLLY day!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!!!!!! It is a dreary morning here in central Indy. I don't know what I'm going to do today. I have a lot of stuff I want to get done before the season starts but I'm feeling pretty lazy today. I do need to call Compaq about my laptop. It's not even a year old and the screen is starting to go out. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning!

well brent your packers won. i didn't get to see the entire game but man what a finish. minnesota was closing the gap the last quarter. it takes alot to go 7-0. GO PACKERS!!!(atleast until my panthers play) lol!

Thats' just how I feel.
Packers all the way except when it comes to the Panthers!

Speaking of the Packers makes me think of packing which reminds me that we are about to pack in another year of countdowning.
<< Wow. You're really stretching for those lead-ins aren't you, Crown? >>
Well.....what can I say?
Days to Halloween: 7 (ONE week from today!)
Days to the Season: 20 (UNDER 3 weeks off now!)
Days to Christmas Day: 62 (Two months from tomorrow!)
Quick! Get a net! The year is escaping!!

Chilly again (47) for my walk with the dog this morning.
Supposed to be in the 70's however for this afternoon and highs in the 70's for most of the week.

You have a Marvelous Monday, Folks.
(It's not so bad when you think about Christmas, is it?)

Hello everyone, I need to get caught up, but what a weekend here in New York!!! It was PERFECT. Spent the day hiking the trails in Montauk, had a beautiful dinner at my favorite restaurant, which was having their Octoberfest!!! Can you say YUMMY!!! Had a bonfire on the beach, Snicker's played with her ball and dug some huge holes!!! We all enjoyed ourselves!!! Came home Sunday, late mass, putter around didn't do much of anything a little football, some snacking, a little laundry and now back to work.

 

[lauriebear]

you are not supposed to live up to the ones from last year...you are supposed to do something brand new, fresh and exciting! Something special for the 2011 Christmas season.
And, you will do great!

Thank you CS!!! You are so supportive!!! :wink:

 

[lauriebear]

I am sure you will, since you took so much trouble of writing something good, i am looking forward to it! Besides, every day, every Christmas is different and every time it is special!

Thank you Kerstig!!!! That is so nice of you to write :wink:

 

[Bradmac]

Great pumpkin! Thanks for posting it!

Good afternoon all! Another cool & sunny day here in Atlanta. I'm currently cleaning up and getting ready to watch another Georgia Tech game, last week was a tough loss for us.

I have a quick question for you guys. I don't have digital cable, I have DirecTV, what channel or station do you guys suggest as a 'substitute' for "Sounds of The Seasons"? I've never noticed any in the past.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Saturday

With Direct TV it is called the Holiday & Happenings Channel but it is only offered on the Choice Ultimate & Premier Packages - it is channel 815.

Two months left to go! I's nearly here.

Good evening, Christmas friends.

I am happy to say I am finally back to work! Worked both yesterday and this morning doing cash office...I have my first admin day back tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. I was able to get together with a friend I work with at both jobs and catch up on everything. Unfortunately there is a co-worker at Kohl's who said some things about me while I was out sick and it has me a little agitated about going back...but I guess you can't stop what people think, no matter what you do. (Apparently it was a miscommunication error between other co-workers not telling him that I was going to be out all week sick, and somehow I still got blamed? I dunno...) But I am happy to be feeling better and get out of the house!

So happy to hear you're feeling better! Yay!
Bummer about your co-worker, but I agree with merrymistletoe- my motto always is "kill 'em with kindness". You end up being the bigger person, and it drives them crazy! Can you say bonus?! :lol:


Hope everyone has a great upcoming week!

That is awesome!!!

Great pumpkin! Thanks for posting it!

omg snowflake, that's really awesome. he should enter a contest or something. wow!!

My husband says thanks, guys! He also carved a Dawn Of The Dead pumpkin, so I'll post that later too!
umpkin:
Quick question, though. How can I make the picture bigger? I uploaded it from my cell to my desktop, and attached it here via the attachment tab next to the smiley face. Is there a better way?

Good morning, all! Including today, we have eight Monday's til the big day! 8!

That really puts the timing into perspective, coach- we're getting so close!! And it makes getting through Monday so much easier! Thanks!

Good Monday morning, Christmas family!

Tomorrow I am helping my cousin and will be out most of the day, so I have a lot to get done this morning. I'm going to listen to some Alice Cooper as I clean house and then when I work, I will put on the Christmas tunes

Have a HOLLY, JOLLY day!!!

I can just picture you jamming to "School's Out", Meceka! Only way to make cleaning the house bearable, though!! Hope you have a great day, too!

Hello everyone, I need to get caught up, but what a weekend here in New York!!! It was PERFECT. Spent the day hiking the trails in Montauk, had a beautiful dinner at my favorite restaurant, which was having their Octoberfest!!! Can you say YUMMY!!!

Came home Sunday, late mass, putter around didn't do much of anything a little football, some snacking, a little laundry and now back to work.

That does sound like the perfect weekend, LB!! Glad you had such a great time! Hugs to you & Snicker's!

 

[lauriebear]

Oh no, I only have a eight days to reach 60 posts! I need to pick it up!

You will do it!!!!

Good Morning, Christmas Family!!

It's gameday, so excited for the Packer-Viking game!
GO PACK!!!

My husband is carving another pumpkin right, with a pattern of Jack Nicholson from The Shining. Should be cool!

We had a nice evening with our friends who were in town from Wisconsin. There is never enough time to catch up!

It's another beautiful day here, sunny & 65 right now. High of 80 degrees. It's supposed to cool down this week, with high @ 70. I can't wait!!

I hope you all have a beautiful Sunday! God Bless! xo

Hi Snowflake, sounds like a cool pumpkin!!! Hope you had fun!!! How is Harlowe.

You don't know Brett? He is your evil twin brother who lives at the Pines!

That was too funny!!!!:lol:

took this on the walk to church this morning of a friend playing with her dog on the frosty grass....YES, we have now had our very first frost of the season!

Very nice picture!!!

Hello Everyone!!

I haven't been around much this year, but I do think of MMC and all my Christmas Pals everyday!! Today I just had to stop in. I ordered my Black Friday Shopping Tshirt this year, and it really hit me how close we are. In about 2 weeks, my Christmas Tree goes up (11/12). I can hardly believe how close it is. I know here at MMC we keep Christmas in our hearts all year long, but it amazes me how quickly the time approaches as the rest of the world catches up with all of us. This year I became part of an online travel agency and it has kept me busy but I am not complaining. The Lord knows how thankful I am for all my blessings he has given me.

So I hope everyone is doing well. I look forward to reading and catching up on the posts. I will get back into stopping by everyday to share in the Christmas Spirit. Take care everyone, have a WONDERFUL day!!!!
:razz:

Good Morning, friends!

Happy Monday!! Although as I type, I hear "Manic Monday" playing on the radio =) It defintely is!! Ahh!
Once I got to work, I realized I left my work laptop at home. Had to turn around and start over! Sheesh :wink:

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

We had a nice evening with friends, got some yardwork done, carved a few pumpkins, and watched football yesterday. It was really nice!

And we heard back from Harlowe's vet, and her post liver function test results came back really good. She's a little confused, though, because the pre-test was higher than normal. She's consulting an internist to ask what would cause that.. Anyways, I'm happy with these results!! Thanks again to all who have been thinking of her.

I went to Marshall's recently and bought a butter/spritz cookie set, and can't wait to try it out over Christmas time! I've always loved those cookies. My Aunt used to make them with red & green food coloring, and they looked so festive. YUM!

I know I had more to write, but I'm drawing a blank. I'll oce again just blame it on Monday morning! Ha!

I hope you all have a lovely day!! Take care!

:merry:

[Kimothy]

Soooo.......the fact that I've been posting a lot this morning should give you all a hint: I wasn't able to go to work this morning. Why? My butt started being a pain this morning and I mean that quite literally!
