Christmas Countdown - 2012

[Christmasstar]

I'm sure you did a great job!!!!! You remembered to lock the door right?:lol:

LOL...the place is part of a Macs convenience store so there is no door to lock....I did however remember to lock the safe!

Good Morning MMC!!!!!!! We set another record yesterday for the most 90 degree days in a month with 26. Boo!! Why couldn't we have set the record for the coolest July on record. Oh well. I better get use to it. The August outlook calls for above average temps and below normal rainfall. In other news it seems weird that my old School district is already going back to school. It's not even august yet. Most of the districts around here are going to a balanced scheduled that has 2 week breaks through out the year and then a 2 month summer break. I probably would have liked it but it still seems weird. Well I'm off to the grocery store. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You got me thinking so I looked up the temperatures for here this month since it seems to me it was very hot and I was right.
At no time did our temps go below 21c ( 70f) and for 4 days it was above 30c - 32c (86f - 90f) But that was not factoring in the humidity which brought temps feeling more like 5 degrees higher most days.

That's Good!!! When I was a commercial sales manager with Autozone one of the other managers forgot to lock the door and set the alarm when he went home one night. I got a call from the security company at 2am telling me I had to go check the store because the alarm wasn't on and no one else would answer. I was shocked when I got there and realized what he had done. Then I was surprised that the store wasn't cleaned out. Needless to say he didn't last long as a shift manager.

I hope I did this correctly.


These awesome Christmas afghans also make great holiday gifts!

In a normal summer here we have 12 days above 90 degree's, this year we have had 41. We've also had 10 days above 100 degree's. Looking back we have only had one day with the temperature below the normal high of 85 since June 13th.

yikes, that was scary! Locking a door on the way out should be an automatic thing.
Biggest problem I had at close up was that someone had locked the safe so I could not put away the cash drawer. Had to call the boss, get the code and then wait another 5 min for the thing to think about opening before I could finish. After that, I always check to make sure it is open before I start the close down!

 

[made582]

Seawaters- How are you doing??? When does school start back out there?

 

[merrymistletoe]

Good morning christmas friends
All seems good with everyone. well except for a few and hope things will be ok with them
And all frubabies seen ok to which is great
Have not been on a for a few days.
Last week was hard . i can honestly say it am glad its over
Last tuesday morning my sisiter in law walked in to the house with a man and said this was her new boyfriend. my brother near had a heart attack
He rung me and i went up and this guy was sitting on the sofa like he owned the house. and but that time the son was up and could not understand what was going on.
She said she was leaving and away him and her went and stayed in a hotel in town and went to scotland on friday.
Hell everything fell apart. the dauagher is in tara state and the son does not no what too say and my brothere actually seems ok they have not been getting on for years
The 2 kids are going though hell. one moment they hate her and cant beleive she left them and moved away. i bagged her not to go and the daughter was in tears bagging her but no of she went
i have stayed in contact with her. as the kids want there mum home even if it is with the new guy. so am stick in the middle .
And had to handle that as well as pallets and the shop . am can say i am exchaused mentally. but maybe this week will be better . i think she might come back even with him but at least the kids will have there mum back.
Anyway am waiting on pallets coming so you all have a nice day and will tlak soon take care and hugs to all furbabies

i do not understand how a mother could EVER leave her kids. my heart broke when i read that her daughter cried so & the son was so confused. i have to say i felt very very angry. those poor kids do not deserve this. thank God they have you & your brother. i pray for them, the kids, more so than for the adults.but of course i pray for you shelliegirl!

Don't even get me started on safes with the 5 minute delay.

 

[Seawaters]

Brad, thoughts and prayers are on the way for you. However, this does NOT get you out of cooking breakfasts for us. We will just have to keep our eyes on YOU that you do not eat what you should not eat! This is serious stuff!!!

Shellie, where did you get your sister? Was she on sale or something? Surely she cannot be so desperate that she would give up on her kids, no matter what their age. I am totally baffled at her stupidity (there's that "S" word again). Why would any man want something like that? If she gives up on her kids, what would she do to him? He sounds like a special kind of stupid, too! (Sorry to rant, Shellie.)

It is time for me to take another nap. This last chemo was BAD!!! But, at least, it's supposed to be the last. Now onward and upward to surgery and radiation.

I wish I could come over and clean your house for you or bake something or at least give you a hug!

 

[brent]

Good luck, Seawaters! Glad you've passed the chemo stage.

hello guys/gals! I had a dr appt for my yearly checkup and took the afternoon off..so I have had a great monday!! this is Brandi's last few days of summer vacation as she goes back on friday...and it's HOT..HUMID and awful..,but that is summer in the south...can't wait for fall.I can really tell the days are getting shorter especially in the am because I drive to work around 6 am...By Sept it will stil be dark at 730..can't say I like that but I really enjoy watching the small changes that lead up to Fall...I hope everyone is doing good. I have to catch up on alot here!

 

[brent]

Good afternoon everyone!

It's Monday. Another work week is upon us. This work week, however, marks the last couple days of July and the ushering in of August! Didn't July just begin?! In Ontario, we have a three day weekend coming up, so it will be a nice four day work week next week. I am very much looking forward to that!

This past weekend was a lot of fun. We had a tournament here in Ottawa, so it was real nice to play and sleep in my own bed at night. Also, better yet, we won the tournament! There were 18 teams in our division. We were seeded second, but we managed to beat the first seeded team twice (once Saturday and once in the finals on Sunday). The only unfortunate part is that I really wasn't able to play as much as I should have. I have patellar tendonitis and can't seem to get rid of it. I played a bit on Saturday, but I decided to rest my knee on Sunday. We have a tournament in Maryland (Poolesville) next weekend and I am hoping that I will be OK for it. In reality, the injury has been off and on all summer, so we'll see if four days of ice and rest will allow me to play on the weekend. I don't want to make the 9 hour drive for nothing!

Not much else is happening. I'll go through a few posts on here during lunch. I forgot to make a lunch last night, so I tihnk I have to purchase something. Drats. Have a great Monday, everyone!

Still praying for you.

I have to work the Saturday and Sunday of the long weekend, but have Monday off. We are going to Port Huron that day, have to take our first road trip in my new van!!!
Hope your knee heals soon so you can enjoy your sports again.
