Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Meceka]

Hello all. New baby girl is here! Her name is Ada, and her two year old sister loves her already!

Congratulations!

Thanks, Meceka! How's cute little Palmer doing?

You're welcome! Thank you for asking about Palmer, Snowflake! She is equal parts playful and sleepy - right now, she is sleeping on my foot cheesy

Good evening, everyone!

Another beautiful day here in Ottawa. Wow. Today was my first day at my new job!

Congratulations, Brent!

On another football-related note - how about them LIONS? Wow...5-0!!

Quite the story in the D and the surrounding areas - tops even local gossip in my hometown cheesy

Hi everyone!

Haven't been around since Friday, mainly because I have been the busiest little bee!! I can't even remember everything, that's how much I did! I haven't been feeling the greatest the last few days, so please say a few good words for me that I don't get sick!!

I hope you are better soon - will say a prayer for you!

Good weds morning! I have been swamped at work and home since I have been home in the last 2 weeks! Just wanted to peek in here and tell my peeps hello! I have been working like 12 hour days and have been going to birthing classes at night, Brandi is 6 months along now and looking very very pregnant! I can't believe how fast this season is going thus far. I will try to get caught up here later on today! Have a great day everyone!

Hi Dawg! Hope things calm down for you so you can enjoy the season!

Howdy everyone!!!!

well as I type this it's my 1,000 post!!!!!!!!! I MADE IT!!!! LOL

Congratulations!

Been up all night with the youngest who has a bad sinus infection poor lil guy. Ihave found trying to keep a almost 3 year old propped up so he can breath better is NOT fun and I am working on my 2nd night of no sleep but oh welll they are only little for just a little while.....

I hope your little one is better - I will say a prayer for him!

Good Pinesday morning, MMC!

I ended up having a most excellent day yesterday - the library didn't have any new Christmas cookbooks, but I did find the next books in several of the series I read. Spent the rest of the day with my cousin - we had a very enjoyable time. We went to the local thrift store and I found Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus and two camels for my new nativity set. These pieces are made in Italy - very nice looking! There was a manger there, but I didn't have enough money to buy it, nor do I know where I will store it once I do - yep, I am planning on going back next week. Hopefully it will still be there, if not, I just might have to figure out how to make one.

Have a MERRY day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great day!

I missed this yesterday. Congrats!!

I just checked out Hallmark channel shedule the first week of November they are playing thanksgiving and Christmas movies! I am getting excited about the season like never before, I am so glad to be home now and things are just now slowing down, this is the time of year I just wish time would freeze so I can savor every moment. I am off work today and I am going to cook mashed potato and teriyaki pork tenderloin for brandi when she gets home from school.
We have been going to birthing classes and it has put me in shock kind of! She wants to do it without any pain killers,we have about 3 months left,so we are getting down to the last trimester! wish us luck!

Good Morning Everyone!!!!!!!! It's going to be in the mid 70's here in central Indy today. I have some errands to run this morning and then I have to go babysit for awhile. I think I'm going to run to my walmart while I'm out to see if they got any new christmas stuff in. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bradmac]

Today was my first day at my new job! That's right, I actually got that job I had an interview for about three weeks ago! I didn't say much about it afterward as I always feel that I jinx myself. Anyway, I started today with Natural Resources Canada. It was fairly enjoyable. I'm just being brought in, so it was fairly simple. Still, I am excited to be finally making money!

Congrats to you, Brent! I hope you enjoy your new job!!

I haven't been feeling the greatest the last few days, so please say a few good words for me that I don't get sick!!

I hope you don't get sick!

Congrats to you, too!

Good Mid-Week/Shispering Pines Day Morning, Good Cyber Neighbors.

Rise, shine and taste the eggnog.
Too soon for that, you say?
Well, I don't know.....
Take a look at this:

Days to the Season: 32
Days to Christmas Day: 74
One month from tomorrow, Folks.
Christmas Season 2011 will be here.
(Really closing in now!)

Another damp one here this morning where we opened at 63 on the way to the mid 70's by this afternoon.
If the rain can just hold off (we really don't need any more now) it should be a nice day.

Allrighty!
Ready for another wild one at the 'Pines?
Carl's really starting to get excited (and....um....experimental) as the Season approaches.
No telling what might be in store!

Anyway, Holiday(?) and I hope to see each and every one of you there at the door.

Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!

Congratulations of getting the job!!! That is great news.

jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!!!!!!!

just LOVE this wonderful amazing time of year, i know it's a little early for most (not you guys, of course) but it has well and truly begun for me, i'm really excited!

Me too!!!! I am in fll swing (even tho my Halloween decor is up, I have a few Christmas "things" about)!!!!

Good afternoon Christmas friends! Been so busy. Had a stomach bug over the weekend and Im finally starting to feel better. My Birthday is Thursday and we are getting steamed crabs this weekend yum yum! Gosh I love this time of the year :wink:. I hope everyone is well! I have a lot of catching up to do on all of these posts!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Oh, I just love steamed crabs!!! Hope you enjoy your day & dinner.... Now, what is for desert?!?!?!

It seems that there are a lot of October birthdays; mine is this coming Monday. I'll be hitting 50, so we'll be going out to dinner. Gee, maybe at that age I should be eating dessert first.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Oh I like Xmas365's idea!!! YAY!!! TWO deserts, why not it's your Birthday!!!!

Happy early B-day to you also! Do something crazy eat dessert first, have dinner, and eat dessert again! You have earned it!

Oh yeah, that is a WONDERFUL idea!!!!

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

It seems I eat every evening meal at my in-laws these days, not that I'm complaining, mind you. Yesterday we went to the local BBQ place and bought a few pounds of BBQ pork, then got some bread & BBQ sauce and made sandwiches at home. These days, we usually go to the drive-thru and pickup a couple sandwiches, but when I was a kid we used to buy BBQ from this same place and they'd wrap it in wax paper and tape it up. And they still do...who knew?! It was great!

Here at work, my supervisor and his supervisor just left to visit a jobsite and won't be back. Party time!! Raise the roof!! Can I get a whoop whoop!! Yeah, right. I have a desk full of stuff to do, and no one else is gonna do it for me, so I better get to work.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good morning,


Back to work today YAY....I mean booo! what is wrong with me? cheesy It's nice weather right now, but rain is supposed to move in and be here until Saturday. I put my inflatable Dracula in its final resting place since it will not inflate properly, the kids will be upset, but I tried to fix it yesterday to no avail. Nothing else going on here.

When does The Pines decorate for Christmas? and will there be a big party for all of us to help them decorate? I have always wanted to see a camel put a star or angel on top of a tree.

Have a great day!
