Good Morning, my Over-the-Top Friends.
Over the top of the week, that is.

Yes, Folks.
The summit has once again been crested and we begin our weekly downhill slide to the Weekend.

But don't let this slide past you without taking note:
Days to the Season: 207
Days to Christmas Day: 249
Lookie-Lookie!
UNDER a week now to the 1/3 Christmas Day mark.
EXACTLY a week off from the 200-day Season Window.
My! My!

As predicted, yesterday was noticeably cooler and more seasonal here in the capital city.
Should be a bit warmer today and we will likely finish out the week well, albeit with some rain (that we can really use).
Currenty, it is damp and 55 degrees here at this hour.

Allrighty!
You have a Totally Thrilling Thursday, Everyone!
Keep that Christmas light shining and may the force of the Season be with you in all your endeavors today.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

Like Crown, we are overcast and cool this morning. That's nice! We got some much-needed rain last night, and I hope we get some more today.

I spent the afternoon cleaning out our laundry room. It doubles as my computer area, and it is the catch-all of the house. When I left for the dumpster, half of the back of my truck was full! When did we get to be such pack rats?

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It's going to be nice day here in central Indy with a high in the mid 70's. I have some errands to run today and that's about it. I'm thinking I'll kick back and work on my Christmas notebook later. I haven't touched it in a while. I also got a call late last night to inform me that one of my Great Aunts had died. She had a stroke on Tuesday and then passed away yesterday. I doubt we go back for the funeral but it just stresses the point that we need to head back and visit them before it's to late. None of my family back around Sugar are getting any younger. Well I'm off to get something done. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I am going to come home and watch the Penguins game tonight. I am sick with anxiety over it, I really hope we win!

I kept checking my phone while we were at the circus for updates - I am sorry to say, but I am too big of a fan and so is my husband, to not know at least the score. I am honest to say I couldn't believe it myself when I looked at arond 9:30 and saw 9-3. I was so excited. Let's hope they come back to Pittsburgh and do the same thing!

 

[sugar142286]

Hope all is good with you,s and furbabies
Have been busy this last few days. with pallets
As well my mate the one that has a drink problem went of the rails at the weekend and only woke last night. and that was him on to me texting to 3 in the morning telling me he needed help i told him after about 40 texts i wood talk to him in the morning . well morning to him was 6am. so he asked me in fact bagged me to help him as he wanted to get in a rehab to get him of the drink. all day i rung this one and that one but he wood not be able to get in for about 3 days. at this stage he was starting to self harm he has the hands cut of him. so i rang the after hours dr to see could i get him a detox as these seen to be the new thing in. and its funny how a phone call can bring the past back
Was taking away to the dr and he told me to sent him up and i asked his name which he told me and then he asked mine. and wood you belive it . he was the same guy that i went to unti with and spent a lot of time with 8 years ago. i could not beleive it and either could he. so we are gonna meet up soon for a good old chin wag..
So i hope you all have a good chill out evening take care..

You're such a good friend, Shellie. People should be VERY lucky to have you around. God Bless you.

hey ya'll!!! work was busy today. their having new carpet put in & it's kind'a hard working around all that but....

i think we are gonna have hunters stew tonight. i'm too pooped to cook. hunters stew: hunt r' stew for what you want!

we've had rain here today. we need it so badly.

my oldest came to work as i was getting off today which is a bit odd but anyhoo, come to find out, his girlfriend had broken up w/ him this morning. they've been going together for 2 years this time, i think. he doesn't seem upset too bad but i don't think he would want me to know if he was. ya' know, trying to be strong & all. he & his brother went back over to the university this evening to work out, i think he burned off some anger, anxiety, etc. remember, this is the one i have to keep aggravating to get him to open up & tell me things. i'm sad for him, & would never say this to him but, i didn't care for her very much, not for Will. i'm not gonna trash her to ya'll but she just wasn't my cup of tea.


i hope ya'll have a great evening @ the pines & i'll talk to ya'll when the sites back up thursday or friday!!


love, hugs, & great big ol' teeth & gummy smiles to ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!:mrgreen:

How are you feeling MerryM? I loved the comment about hunters stew. That was funny. I would not even think that up!!!!

As for you son's ex-girlfriend, I feel bad for him, but hopefully this will be better for him, as you said. Wish him the best!

 

[sugar142286]

just got a text message from Carl...(when did he get a phone?)
anyway, he will have a supply of paper bags on hand for all those who may start hyperventilating because the forums will be shut down for awhile tonight.

He is such a thoughtful camel!

Haha...this is just toooo funny! What a nice gift Carl gave you guys last night! I bet I missed one great Pines! :gift:

Good morning, Christmas friends. Some repercussions of chemo are headaches so I had to deal with that yesterday, in addition to the injections for the expanders. I wish I could do over, do over!!!

Made, thanks for the update of Jim Shore and CIJ. That is really something to look forward.

I also love hearing good news about furbabies, their birthdays, and their get-well news.

When you top if off with all the peeps babies, then that is just the frosting on the cake! I'll bet even CS would agree! I will try to keep popping on and off today so I can keep uo. TTYL>
