Christmas Countdown - 2012

[xmastidings]

Has anyone checked out QVC.com lately? They have a bunch of Christmas stuff on clearance including Bethlehem Lights. I saw a bunch of stuff I want now.

Good night again!

I was just checking out QVC about an hour ago, and I didn't see (at that time) any clearance Christmas items or anything else like that. But, I while I was (scanning/ fast forwarding thru the tv guide) and I do believe that I saw the start date for when they're having the Christmas in July special, starting I believe around the 20th-21st. I'll be watching it then, just to see whats new this year.....

Good Morning People of the 'Pines and Fired Twinkie Freaks.

Yes, Indeedio!
It's time once again to visit our favorite camel and partake of furious fun and frivolity at our radiant resident resort.

What will Carl have in store for us this week?
No way of knowing without you going.

But know this, and know it well:
Days to the Season: 125
Days to Christmas Day: 167
UNDER half a week away now from Milestone #11 on our handy-dandy post one chart, the 2/3 Season marker!
Great day in the morning (or afternoon or evening, for that matter)!

Lots of rain yesterday.
Takes away from the drought -- adds to the humidity.
At least the temps are lower and supposed to stay that way for the remainder of the week.
We read a drippy, post-rain 73 degrees currently here in the capital city.

You have a Wonderful Wednesday, Happy Hump Day and Perfect 'Pines Day, Everyone!
Keep that Christmas light shining and let the spirit of the Season be you guide today and every day.

Took JP and LC to the school track to ride their bike and big wheel, finally got JP to ride his bike without training wheels, he is so cautious and scared of new things, he struggled a bit but by the time we were ready too leave he was going longer distances by himself, he should be ready to fully go by himself the next time or the time after.

Congratulations to JP!

I remember my grandsons learning how to ride their bikes. They are 2 years apart in age and suddenly one day at my house they both jumped on their bikes at the same time and starting riding it with no problems! I didn't have to work with them at all, they just took off.

I did the same thing when I was 6 years old. I got a bike from Santa and went outside with it. My mom was going to teach me how to ride it but told me to wait a second so she can get her sunglasses. When she came back outside I was already riding it!

Yes, I'm awake now! That doggy woke me up at 4:30 this morning! :lol:

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

My co-worker and I were talking about music the other day. He is 18 years old and we were both discussing how we like all kinds of music from rock, country, rap, opera, etc. Then I mentioned how I love Christmas music too. He said, "It's okay but when the department stores start playing it 7 months before Christmas I have a problem with it"! I just died laughing! I said, "What department store is that because I want to shop there"?! He was not being cruel about it and respected me for liking the music year round, he was just being silly. It gave me a good laugh! Could you imagine, Christmas music 7 months early in all the stores?

Good morning, MMC!

Good evening,

The baby back ribs were very good! Took JP and LC to the school track to ride their bike and big wheel, finally got JP to ride his bike without training wheels, he is so cautious and scared of new things, he struggled a bit but by the time we were ready too leave he was going longer distances by himself, he should be ready to fully go by himself the next time or the time after. Late day tomorrow.

Have a great night!

good for JP! my son was just like that about riding w/ no training wheels. he'll get it!

Good morning mmc.

I had a similar experience ... I used training wheels for a while and was leery of having Dad take them off. But at a friend's house, I decided to try her bicycle, and just got on and took off without a wobble. I had Dad take off my training wheels and was on that bike every day for years.

A bleary Wednesday hello ... had to come in to work half an hour early this morning because we were expecting client feedback to some ads at 7 a.m., ready for proofreading at 8:30 a.m. Guess what? No feedback yet! :-?

Never mind, this happens all the time in this business.

Smiles for everybody!

^^Here's something to keep you cool^^ :
Wish we were all in a winter wonderland!

Right, me too

Well, the first day was spent rafting on the canoe. I'm not as young or as good as I once was, but I gave it heck! With this huge cut on my leg and the bruise on my ribcage from where i landed on a rock, I'm pretty sore. Really sore. Tomorrow we are getting on the lake, so it should be easy......I hope.

BC I didn't mean to laugh but I did, you see this past Sunday the hubby, Snickers, and I went out hubby and I did the Mountain Bikes Snickers runs and jogs along, well here I am zooming along, the wind in my face, the thrill of the ride... Oh what, Oh no, tooooooo fast, slow down, hit the breaks, and CRASH!!!! yup... I have a bruise on the side of my knee and a raspberry rash on my thigh and calf... But, I must say if asked knowing what I do I would still go right back and do it all again!!!! Sorry hope you are healed up now, and had a great time.

Good Friday evening, my Christmas friends!

Gosh, I can barely keep up with the posts! I've been on the go here in the mountains. I stop for a few minutes to try to get caught up, but it just doesn't happen.

We're having a great time, and staying on the road. Another busy day tomorrow, then home on Sunday.

Y'all have a great night!

Hey Brad, hope you had a wonderful time I am still going through the posts, I love these times when we all take our trips or family days it is great to read about all the memories we all make

HA, HA, HA... It is funny right the other day my friend got in my car and Micheal Buble's Christmas CD not the new one the Let It Snow short CD and she looked at me and just laughed and said only you, and I said well... no really not only me and just smiled as she laughed - What she doesn't know is I have all you too so I know it isn't just me

Good morning MMC!!! Once again, it has been tooooo long since my last post. Everytime I see or hear something Christmas related I think of this crew & how much I miss posting here & how I need to get back in the swing!! Summer (as always) is flying! I can't believe it is July 11th. Wasn't it just June 1st, like last week??

I am looking so forward to Hallmark's Christmas In July movies...though I'm not sure how much I will get to watch! It just makes me happy knowing they are on!!! I hope to watch a few anyway! I have the schedule printed off - I'm ready!! I noticed Ben Franklin is starting to set out their Christmas/winter things. Also back to school stuff...booooo!

I am so happy it is Pines Day :dance: - can't wait to see you all there!!!!

 

[Christmasstar]

Good Morning MMC!

Its Wednesday...time for party at

Carl is bring in a barbershop quartet for a special show tonight, here they are with their bus driver...

 

[whitney37354]

I think I am the only woman in the whole world who has no interest in that movie.

I won't be seeing it either!

We need rain so badly & we're getting it this week. Too bad for DD though, because swim lessons started Monday night! We didn't go last night because it was still raining & some thunder. I'll call before leaving work this afternoon to see about tonight. Love the rain & wish I could snuggle up with a good Christmas movie. No chance of that this week...

 

[Bradmac]

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I went to the meeting to discuss dispersment of Local Option Sales Tax collections with the county commission and the other city mayors last night. It lasted about 15 minutes, and the only thing that was agreed upon was the date for the next meeting to discuss it. It's no wonder government can't get anything done!

After that, I picked up some Chinese takeout and headed home. I love hot & spicy beef!

I hope to see you all at the Pines tonight, and I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

 

[Christmasstar]

2 days off was nice, back to work at noon. Short day today, done at 4pm.

Have a great day!

Good morning,

Back to the grind for me at noon also, I have 45 minutes until I leave. Blahhh! I went to CVS this morning and I saw there summer merchandise shelves were almost empty, I got thinking about what will be going there, I thought maybe Halloween, or Harvest, but then I remembered it will more than likely be Back to School stuff, rats, foiled again! The good stuff will be out sooner than we know. The boys are at VBS , so enjoying the peace & quiet before I go.


Enjoy The Pines!
