Christmas Countdown - 2012

[laikengrace]

Hi Ryan, I'm an early decorator too. I decorate the weekend after Halloween, and if I could get by with it I'd decorate earlier......I love it!!!

I went for a little drive tonight......someone had Christmas lights up! I am a little amazed. White, green, and a nativity scene.

Praying for them.

I actually made and posted my first video on Youtube last night. I did some editing of a song that was at the wrong speed, I tried to fix it and then made a video. It is nothing special but I am proud of my work.

Great Job!!!! Enjoy your weekend off!!!

I check the countdown often, but have never actually registered and posted until today! I'm excited to join in the discussion. This weekend in Oklahoma the high temp is only about 50 or so, so its going to feel like winter! Had to listen to some Christmas songs on my way to work this morning.
While I sneak some Christmas music in earlier, the Season for me always starts with Halloween. I love taking my kids trick-or-treating and watching them have a good time. I love it too because the next morning, on Nov. 1, I switch the decorations, music, and other things over to Christmas! Anyone else start the season then?

Welcome to the countdown!!!!!!

We started the day around 60 and fell through out the day. Now we are at 39. It looks like a high of 53 tomorrow.

No heat but I did shut the windows!! They have been open for a couple of weeks. I'll probably break out the sweaters tomorrow since I'll be spending most of the day outside.

Home and relaxing. Going to Detroit to pick up mom tomorrow . LittleCS and I are making a day of it, will see what interesting stores we can find along I94. Now I am going to sleep as we want to get an early start!

I was just looking at this video again that our very own, MerryCarey, uploaded. If you haven't seen it yet check it out! It will put you in the mood for Christmas!

Snowtime Serenade with Gloria Jean

What a singing talent!

thanks for the reminder I am going to watch it now

Thank you, from me and Gloria!

Thank you!

MerryCarey has got me turned onto Gloria as well.... I was blown away with her singing and the most surprising thing about this, is that prior to watching the videos that MerryCarey had posted, I had never even seen nor heard of her before. Now I feel as though I missed out on something all these years. I Thank you and Gloria, for bring somemore fufillment to our lives....

Wow, I'm impressed, they have to the first ones that I heard of that has their lights up and lit already! I haven't even got my Halloween decorations out of the attic yet, let alone thinking about putting up the Christmas lights...

Good evening, MMC!!

Hope you're all having a nice Friday night!!

I just finished watching one of my faves, The Family Stone. Put me in a nostalgic, Christmassy mood.

Adrian & I are going to watch Cabin In The Woods soon, and make some popcorn. Hope it's scary...now I'm in the mood for this:
:boo::zombie:hahaha!!

Hello everyone!

Hope everyone had a great Thursday and those who are feeling bad are starting to feel better!

I ended up buying a medicine with both a cough suppressant and expectorant in it, and honestly I'm not feeling any different. The coughs still aren't being productive OR subsiding, so I'm really out of luck at this point, I think (unless I find the medicine Jennifer was talking about!). It is very frustrating...I have been sick since last Monday and all I want is to feel normal again. Sigh.

I had a pretty relaxing day...worked more on the shower thank you cards (only 7 to go, yay!) and was able to talk to 2 good friends on the phone today. It's amazing how talking to friends can make you feel better! Both of them are starting new jobs next week, so I'm really hoping some of their luck will rub off on me. I really want (AND NEED!) a job soon. I even put in a seasonal application at Target...while I didn't really want to go back to retail, and especially back to being a cashier, I just need SOMETHING at this point.

I'm not sure if I mentioned here that our wedding photographer has strangely gone MIA since our wedding, and hubs and I are really starting to get nervous about it. We were supposed to have pictures by Wednesday of last week, but she is now not returning calls, texts, or emails. I even tried calling her from hubs's phone, thinking that maybe she was intentionally ignoring my calls, but it went straight to voicemail from his phone too. I won't even go into the crap she put us through on our wedding day (it would literally be the longest post EVER), but if we end up not getting our pictures from her, I will be irate. One of my friends that called today has volunteered to take some replacements pics for us, and our venue has agreed to let us have time to do this. The thing is, Travis won't be able to re-rent his suit, so we are hoping to find something close to it in his closet. Most of the shots we want done are ones of just me completely dressed up (she took NONE the day of...yeah...) but there are some of the both of us that we want done, so hopefully he has something he can wear. It is just such a mess, but I'm so glad we have a friend who is willing to do this for us. Hopefully my friends that did my hair and makeup will be able to help too.

Anyway, I'm going to finish watching Chopped and maybe play a few games of SongPop (anyone else here addicted?!) before bed. Have a good night, everyone!

Awww...I hope there is no problem and that maybe she is just detained somehow. But If I were you I would be PLENTY nervous too !! I really hope it all works out for you !!! oxxooxoxo

Good Morning, Friends.

In steady lock-step, we advance ever relentlessly forward to Christmas.

Now, step over here and gaze upon today's count and marvel at the close proximity of that special event:
Days to the Season: 39
Days to Christmas Day: 81
Day after tomorrow, Guys -- we will find ourselves 90 percent of the way to the end of our journey and into the Home Stretch to the start of Christmas Season 2012!
Fantastico!

Much less rain yesterday than the previous few although a certain dampness lingered.
It is supposed to be dry today and tomorrow which will be good for our pending trip.
I read 61.5 degrees currently on our digital back yard thermometer.

OK!
You have a Fabulous Friday, Folks.
We are off to the coast without worry because I know I'm leaving you in Brent's capable hands.

See you here Monday morning!

Thank you Crown !!!! You are wonderful !! xo 39 days to the season - WOO-HOO !!!!! xo

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a cool rainy day here in central Indy with a high near 54 degree's. Quite a change from yesterdays 78 degree high. I'm just hoping that the rain moves out tonight and doesn't stick around for our big fall festival tomorrow. Well it's actually going on today too. So the people with booths are probably hoping that it doesn't rain today also. If the rain does hold off. I may run out there for lunch. Some hot apple cider and a deep fried milky way sounds good. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

I hope your Fall Festival turns out to have great weather !!! xo
