Hope everyone here is having a good night!
Congrats on your promotion! cheesy
 
Good Morning, Everyone!

I passed by a few neighborhoods this evening that had quite a few homes lit up. That put a smile on my face! cheesy
Took a walk around the neighborhood with my father and his dog yesterday and the MAJORITY of the houses that decorated for Christmas still have their decorations up. Helped me hang on to a little of that Christmas feel!
It's like this every year. Slowly they disappear during January and all will probably be gone before Feb 1.

Speaking of that Christmas feel, let's check on how far away NEXT Christmas is:
Days to the Season: 311
Days to Christmas Day: 353
SINGLE digits to our first milestone as of the day after tomorrow!
(How can we have moved that far along already, Guys??)

Forty degrees here when I got up and it's still 40 under cloudy skies at this hour with the threat of more rain. (We had some last night)
The chance of snow has lessened, however, but is still possible by Monday.

You have a Thrilling Thursday, Friends.
Tomorrow is our first Weekend Eve of the new year!
 
Good morning, Christmas family !

I am just getting ready to try and work. My work has been VERY VERY slow this week and it is quite frightening to me. I get paid per line and this week I am behind by at least 700 lines !!

My other kitty who is older is sick too. He was fine and now all of a sudden he is having nausea every time he eats and other symptoms as well that I will not talk about here. I just can't lose another one so soon. Needless to say I am in an enheightened anxious state. Plus, yesterday afteroon I had taken an over the counter sinus medication that I IMMEDIATELY got a bad reaction to. I didn't think I was going to make but thank God and prednisone, I am here this morning. I am not as sad as I was but more worried than ever, which is okay. I know how to deal with that since I am the original worry wart kid.
My goodness! I'm so sorry you're having such troubles. I hope today is a better day for you!
 
It is ESPN's 30 for 30 "4 Days In October" it is a really good one it has some of the players home movies in the locker room during the comeback, and many interviews.

I don't think we have that one ... maybe I'll get it for my husband's birthday. Sounds good! Thanks for the info!
 
Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's still rainy here, in the upper 40's. Not too bad, but i wish it would clear up some.

My son started JV basketball this year and tonight we have to travel into Savannah for a game. It's not that far, but it doesn't start till 7PM. That gets us home pretty late, and we still have homework to get done, baths to take, etc. It looks like we'll be eating McDonald's on the road this evening. Sigh.

Oh, well. I hope you all have a great day! cheesy

I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmassy day. I kept the TV on all night on Music Choice - Sounds Of The Season - because today is the last day for it. I loved falling asleep with Christmas carols on !!

Take care everyone !
I am so sorry your kitty is ill. Hopefully it's just a temporary situation and he gets better. I will say a prayer.

As you and I have talked about before, it is so difficult for kids these days to take on extra cirricular activities and family time when they have homework everyday. My grandson is in the 1st grade and has it everyday. Hopefully a routine will get worked out where he doesn't get too worn down. =)
 
Xmas365 and Snow-in-Texas, I know what you mean by people becoming fans of whoever is doing well and winning that year. I have been a die hard fan of the Cowboys since I was 5 no matter what type of year they have. I might root on another team if they don't make the playoffs but my heart is with the Boys and my loyalty doesn't change. I have had friends who go back and forth from the Cowboys when they do well to completely finding another team to like year after year.
 
Sending calming thoughts your way, Caninemom3!

Good morning, Christmas friends! I woke up to heavy fog this morning, so I will have to drive slowly to work. Instead of 3 minutes, it might take me a whole 8 minutes to get there!! I am in enough of a fog as it is!!! I hope each of you have a great day.

Good morning everyone! It's cold as anything here this morning. The sky is sunny and the air is clear and crisp. Beautiful weather! We are expecting some snow tomorrow, and I'm leaving the Christmas decorations up a little longer just in case we get it.

Wowy! 8 minute drive? That seems like forever compared to 3 minutes. Hehe! Sounds like us with church. It takes us maybe 2 minutes to drive there. We could walk there if we had to but I go to work right after church every Sunday.

They were predicting flurries Monday but I think it's out of the forecast. I wanted to leave my Christmas decorations up, just in case, as well.
 
Afternoon all. Had to take the day off. William is getting over a little 24 hour bug. Right now he is down for a nap. We watched toy story 3 and cloudy with a chance of meatballs. He ate a good breakfast and then ate some of mine too! Glad tomorrow is Friday because I'm ready for the weekend!

How did you like Toy Story 3? My mom took the grandkids to see it and she said it was very good.

Events
I keep a calender in this part for november and december and mark all of the different concerts and parades that are going to happen on it.

Master Budget
This is where I figure out my budget for the whole season. I try to break it down into Events, Dining out with friends, Gifts, Baking Supplies, Shipping(to send the gifts to my oldest sister and her family in seattle), and Christmas or New Years Party.

Master Calender
I keep a calender for the whole year in here and mark on it when I want to start buying baking supplies, When I want to start putting out the decorations, Events that I want to go to, When I want to have everyones gifts bought by, and stuff like that.



Hope this helps.
